At the headquarters of the journal Chemistry-Biology in the beautiful country, the secretary is checking the journal's mailbox, and millions of researchers around the world will send their results to the official mailbox, and then the secretary will review them for the first time.

If the corresponding author is a Nobel laureate, then this email will definitely appear in the editor-in-chief's mailbox as soon as possible.

Charlie took a sip of his coffee and continued to click on one email after another, most of the time, he still read the content of the email to avoid spam.

After all, the mailbox is public, and you still receive a lot of advertisements every day.

The job was very boring, and Charlie thought that he would spend this day as well, but suddenly he saw a picture that made his eyes widen.

"Even buy karma, how can there be such a big radish!" Charlie exclaimed.

A colleague at another workstation turned his chair suspiciously, and when he saw the shocking photo on the computer screen, he suddenly looked stunned.

The two of them checked the paper submitted by Yang Zhou, which is no longer a traditional mailing letter, but an electronic version of the paper, sent to the journal's public mailbox, the whole process is very convenient, if you are lucky enough to send the email to the reviewer as soon as possible, maybe the result will be available within a week.

Many years ago, if you wanted to publish a foreign journal in China, the time was calculated in months or even half a year.

"Oh my God, what's wrong with the world! Charlie, is this a genetically modified radish? The colleague asked curiously.

Charlie's own education is not low, he has worked in this position for several years, and he knows a lot about the industry, he roughly looked at the title and outline and shook his head: "No, it's a gene clip!" Cas9, this guy succeeded, I'm going to send the email to the editor-in-chief right away. ”

Charlie forwards the email to the editor-in-chief, and after the editor-in-chief reviews it, he will send the paper to the editorial board members in the relevant field, who are professionals, basically professors in this field, and then the editorial board will distribute the paper to professional reviewers ranging from 2-5 people.

Reviewers come from all walks of life, and most likely are authors who have published papers in the past.

When the editorial board gathers the opinions of several reviewers, they can make a final decision on whether to publish the paper or not.

Yang Zhou's editor-in-chief attaches great importance to Cas9 technology in recent years, and many people believe that this technology is the key to solving most human diseases and the door to immortality.

As long as this door is opened, maybe human beings don't have to worry about longevity.

The technology also won Nobel Prizes last year for two white female scientists who discovered it.

After carefully reading Yang Zhou's paper, the editorial board decided to send the paper to the two scientists, and also sent it to Zhang Feng, the first Chinese scientist to implement Cas9 technology.

A few days later, the editorial board received a receipt of the paper, which made them regret the decision they had made.

After Yang Zhou sent the paper email, he had nothing to do.

With Lu Yuyao in charge of business, and the paper is under review, he doesn't want to conduct new research for the time being, but wants to wait for the review to see how much experience points can be rewarded.

If there is a lot of reward experience, then Yang Zhou is ready to start brushing the paper mode.

Now it's just carrot gene editing, and you can repeat this research on countless plants to harvest the experience points.

In his free time, Yang Zhou is not idle to do, he is ready to prepare his first personal laboratory.

Of course, his money is definitely not enough at present, but it doesn't matter, after the paper is published, many investors will come to him to seek cooperation.

He is ready to take out the transformation carrot and let others use the money to invest, and he cashes out hundreds of millions.

With this money, the money for system upgrades is enough.

Everything Yang Zhou does is currently focusing on system upgrades, and only in this way can he cure his cancer earlier.

And when he has the technology to treat cancer, then he is estimated to be the richest man in the world, so there is no pity to share the carrot improvement technology in the early stage.

He also didn't have that much energy to promote the technology.

On this day, Yang Zhou came to the microbiology laboratory, and he was going to record some experimental instruments in the microbiology laboratory, and it was best to inquire about the price to see how much it would cost to finally build a similar laboratory.

The postdoctoral fellows in the microbiology laboratory must know the approximate price, and Yang Zhou did not listen to them completely, but used it as a reference, and finally asked the experimental equipment supplier to see if there was a big difference between their quotation and the price he inquired.

Generally speaking, the equipment purchased by the university will be much cheaper, but if it is not good, Yang Zhou can also ask Bai Shulong to help operate it and help buy it in the name of the school.

When he came to the microbiology laboratory, Yang Zhou easily inquired about the information he wanted to know.

The equipment was bought by the boss of the microbiology laboratory, and there is a postdoctoral fellow who knows more about it.

Just as Yang Zhou was about to leave, he met Peng Zhenqiang, who was a little bit of a bad deal with him at the beginning.

Seeing that Yang Zhou was also in the laboratory, Peng Zhenqiang's face immediately changed, thinking that Yang Zhou was here to rob him of his experimental time, and immediately said angrily: "Are you here to borrow instruments again?" Your labs are so poor! ”

Yang Zhou remembered that this guy used to taunt from time to time, and the photos in the forum were probably taken by this guy, so he immediately became a little angry, shook his head and said: "That's not necessary, I'm going to build a similar laboratory and ask the senior brother about the price." ”

Peng Zhenqiang was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the postdoctoral brother, and was a little embarrassed when he saw him nodding.

But immediately reacted, how could Yang Zhou, a student, have the money to build a laboratory.

"Hehe, I don't believe it, your plant laboratory has this funding? In Qingbei, our microbial department is the first department, and no department can compare with us in terms of wealth. Peng Zhenqiang said proudly.

He didn't say nonsense, after the incident in 19 years, major enterprises and the above have increased their investment in the Department of Biology, and the experimental funds have been given a lot.

The plant laboratory is not good, even if you give money, it is not much, after all, it does not cost too much money to engage in hybridization, and you can borrow some special instruments from brother units if you need to use them.

"It's a personal lab, 88 you, see you later!" Yang Zhou turned around and raised his hand and waved, too lazy to say more to Peng Zhenqiang.

After Yang Zhou left, Peng Zhenqiang frowned and asked his senior brother: "Senior brother, is this guy a rich second generation?" ”

He is a returnee, and he really doesn't know much about Yang Zhou's background.

The postdoctoral brother is much clearer, after all, Yang Zhou used to be a figure in the school, he shook his head and said: "No, Yang Zhou's hometown is from Gan Province, I heard that it is not like a rich person on the edge of the desert, I guess it is his research results, let's engage in scientific research, as long as there are results, some people will build a laboratory for us." ”

Peng Zhenqiang nodded thoughtfully, but he was very unhappy in his heart, he had no achievements as a returnee, how could Yang Zhou, a turtle, succeed so easily.

The most important thing is that last time he took a photo, smearing Yang Zhou on the Internet didn't seem to make Yang Zhou lose anything, but made Tang Yue popular.

If you want to say that the two have any enmity, it is actually not counted, that is, Peng Zhenqiang feels that he has paid a lot, but he has no gain, and Yang Zhou has to get better and better, which makes him even more unhappy.

He immediately decided to inquire privately about what Yang Zhou had researched, and even let him have the money to build a laboratory.

The last time Yang Zhou did the Cas9 experiment, he knew that he didn't think that Yang Zhou would be able to successfully edit the gene.
