Chapter 583: An Agreement is reached
As we enter May, the weather in Kyoto slowly warms up.
The Labor Day holiday is only three days, which makes people feel extraordinarily unpleasant, and some abnormal high fever makes everyone have no intention of traveling, many people have not gone out of the city for three days like Tian Lu, at most they have gone to relatives and met friends.
"Director, another article has been written. ”
On the first day of work after the holiday, He Tianlin brought a small surprise to Tian Lu, holding a stack of printer paper and smiling: "The Parkinson's treatment team has finally come out!"
After taking the article in He Tianlin's hand, Tian Lu immediately buried his head in reading it.
"Good, very good!"
With the help of the medical literature support system, only half an hour later, Tian Lu raised his head, nodded with relief, and said: "Except for a few small problems, this article is really well written! Tian Lin, I have marked the problematic places with a red pen in it, you take it back to them, and send it out after revision!"
"Okay. ”
He Tianlin also nodded excitedly, and then asked, "Director, which magazine is this article sent to?"
"Let them decide for themselves. ”
After a slight groan, Tian Lu said with a smile.
Now that the specific research work and article writing have been let go, there is no reason for Tian Lu to continue to do the matter of communicating with the editor in the journal that he finally chose to publish. In fact, Tian Lu will not be much better than others in this, and he is only better than others because he knows a few more magazine editors.
During this time, the neurosurgery article was not written. However, it has been more than a year since moving into the new surgical building, and with the long time of preparation, it is indeed time for Corey to produce results on various topics.
Neurosurgery today is not the same as it was six or seven years ago, or even three years ago.
After several years of rapid development, the team of neurosurgery has grown considerably, in addition to epilepsy surgery, the strength in other functional neurosurgery fields has also become rapidly strong, and more than two years of accumulation have made the results of several research groups under the guidance of Tian Lu intentionally or unintentionally, and once again ushered in a blowout in the first half of this year! These scientific research achievements are extremely considerable in both frontier and importance. It's like epilepsy surgery. It will definitely be able to bring great benefits to neurosurgery!
What's more, the earliest epilepsy surgery and the most important neurosurgical diagnosis and treatment standards have finally reached another node. Before you know it, collaborative research in epilepsy surgery has been going on for five years. And the collaborative research on neurosurgery diagnosis and treatment standards has also gone through its third year!
Three years. Five years. It's all a significant point in time!
In particular, the final clinical data of the five years of epilepsy surgery are something that neurosurgeons all over the world are looking forward to! In addition, there are cooperative studies on the routine diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy, and cooperation in the routine diagnosis and treatment of other functional neurological diseases. It's time for the phased results to be released.
Of course, Tian Lu will not disappoint, as in previous years, this year's article has been sent to Elis, and the ecstatic female editor has long sworn that it will be published in the past two months.
Perhaps the most important thing now is the transfer of laboratory patents, but by September, the impact of the publication of these articles will definitely be of great help to Tian Lu......
"By the way, Tian Lin, I have something to ask you. ”
Speaking of academic papers, Tian Lu suddenly remembered another thing, and asked: "I remember that we discussed the matter of running a magazine before, have you inquired clearly?
"Well...... this"
He Tianlin couldn't catch up with his director's thinking for a while, and after thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "It's clear to inquire, but it's still the same as what I said to you last time, if you want to run a clinical medical journal, I'm afraid it's very rare! Not to mention the Press and Publication Administration, even the Ministry of Health, the competent department, probably won't easily open this opening." ”
The outflow of excellent academic papers in China is becoming more and more serious, especially in the field of life sciences, and the proportion of articles in international authoritative journals is also increasing year by year, while domestic related journals are increasingly becoming the hotbed of articles for those who have been promoted to professional titles. Although there are a large number of journals, the number of doctors who need to be promoted in China is relatively large, so there is never a source of manuscripts.
However, such a situation is clearly not what the state wants.
"So, I think your idea is hard to come to fruition!"
Shaking his head, He Tianlin continued: "However, later I inquired in detail, if it is a magazine in the basic field, there are still some possibilities!"
"Basic?"
Tian Lu raised his eyebrows and asked with some doubts.
"Yes, the magazine of the Foundation Field!"
He Tianlin nodded and said: "The state now encourages scientific research in the basic field, and the development of this aspect in China is also extremely rapid! However, because of the long-term lack of investment in basic scientific research in our country, and the small number of scientific research achievements, there are not many academic journals, so as the situation has changed, the control of this aspect has been sent a little." ”
After listening to He Tianlin's explanation, Tian Lu's heart moved, and he immediately asked, "Then if you want to make such a book, what do you need to do?"
"Huh, do you really want to do it?"
He Tianlin was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
As the person in charge of neurosurgery, He Tianlin certainly hoped that Tian Lu's journal would be in neurosurgery, so after hearing this sentence, he naturally had a sense of resistance. It's just that this sense of resistance is fleeting, he immediately came back to his senses, nodded and said: "First of all, there must be an organizer, I suggest that it is the School of Medicine of Beijing Normal University, and the director is the Ministry of Health or the Ministry of Science and Technology. ”
"That's hard work for you. ”
As if he saw what He Tianlin was thinking, Tian Lu smiled and said, "Don't worry." Although the application is a journal in the basic field, since it is our magazine, everyone's articles will definitely be able to be published in the future, and it will be regarded as an expansion of the field...... "......
On the third Tuesday of May, after a month of bargaining, the Laboratory of Future Biology and the Institute of Computer Technology of the Academy of Sciences finally reached a final cooperation agreement!
"The most important thing is the cost!"
On the way to the Institute of Computer Technology, Qian Lele took a deep breath and said with a slight trill: "The price of each supercomputer must be calculated separately, and there is an increasing range with time. Plus your requirements are different. The performance they need to achieve is also different, and the price varies greatly. In other words, the price of our first supercomputer was originally as high as 700 million Chinese dollars, but the last one may be as high as 1.5 billion!"
When it comes to these two numbers. Qian Lele's heart is still a little difficult to accept.
Just three computers. It will cost the laboratory more than three billion dollars. If you add those large numbers of small and medium-sized machines, it almost reaches 3.5 billion!
This figure is higher than the total investment in scientific research equipment of future organisms so far!
Tian Lu is not too demanding though. So much so that it can be among the top 500 supercomputers in the world, but it will never accept things that are too outdated, especially in terms of energy consumption, which is relatively high, which makes the cost of supercomputers high.
"I think it's okay. ”
Tian Lu shrugged his shoulders and comforted Qian Lele: "You see, in order to compete for the first place in the world, the cost of building a supercomputer is going to be a billion dollars...... Our little money is really nothing!"
After listening to Tian Lu's comfort, Qian Lele was speechless for a moment.
Can other people's supercomputers be used to simulate global climate change, or some supercomputationally intensive cosmic physical phenomena, etc., can they be compared to each other?
But after thinking about it, Qian Lele gave up on this and continued to entangle.
After this period of hard work, it is not without good news, under the full persuasion of her and Han Jun, Tian Lu finally gave up the agreement to sign three units at one time, and signed the contract one by one, and then built one by one. After all, the manufacturing cycle of supercomputers is very long, but in the same way, the new scientific research base of the future biological laboratory has not yet been determined, and the demand for supercomputers is still early!
However, the cost of application software design and development started in the early stage is also huge!
As soon as he thought of this problem, Qian Lele suddenly had a headache again, and the final result of the negotiation was that the Institute of Computer Technology would join the other three supercomputer research institutions, of course, Tian Lu would also recruit a group of relevant personnel to join, a total of five to jointly develop related application software, and all the costs would be borne by the Future Biological Laboratory!
The numbers in the budget are really frightening.
Fortunately, there are still some software options in the world that are not very satisfactory in terms of performance, but barely usable, otherwise this is a bottomless pit that is extremely dark!
However, what Qian Lele didn't know was that in Tian Lu's heart, he had already had a more long-term plan, which was definitely to develop and design all those key software applications, but considering her and Han Jun's psychological endurance, she didn't dare to say it......
"And then there's the ultimate copyright issue......
After complaining about the cost, Qian Lele began to complain about the ownership of the copyright. Although there are heavy shackles on the right to use the other party, when he thinks of the things he has developed at his own expense, the other party also has so much full strength, Qian Lele's heart is full of unhappiness!
"Alright, alright. ”
Seeing that Qian Lele was about to repeat the complaint that had been repeated many times, Tian Lu suddenly had a headache, and hurriedly pointed out the car, and said with a smile: "It's finished talking, don't think about it anymore, and besides, you see, the research institute is about to arrive ............
