Chapter 1085 keep silent

He was nominated for the Nobel Prize because of Professor Dalbecco. The authority of the Nobel Prize is actually only reflected in his results, not in the process of award evaluation. His hidden network of contacts is far more important than ordinary people imagine. If you change a scholar who has not been exposed to face and wants a Nobel Prize nomination, then wait and see when these bigwigs who are qualified to nominate the Nobel Prize will pay attention to you.

China is not particularly disadvantageous in the Nobel Prize. After all, China had Yang Zhenning and Lee Zhengdao in the 1950s. Although they were American physicists, they had nominated Chinese people many times. Through them and parallel circles, Chinese people would not be unable to make a nomination. In more disadvantaged countries or individuals, the Nobel Prize has really changed from endless waiting to no need to wait.

If Yang Rui had not used the Human Genome Project and had a step-by-step special contact with Dalbeco, he would not be eligible to be nominated for the Nobel Prize.

However, this year it's probably only a nomination.

The final candidate for the Nobel Prize is actually determined in October, but it is just a secret and will be presented again next year. The time left in the middle is actually the itinerary for the winners. Commercial aircraft including Zeppelin airships and so on, by the 1980s, it was only half a century, and the Nobel Prize has a history of a hundred years.

Yang Rui has not received a call from the Nobel Prize Committee yet, so it is unlikely that he will win the Nobel Prize of this year.

However, the discovery of "humans leaving Africa" ​​is a re-proof of PCR. Dalbeko said regretfully: "If this result was promulgated earlier, your chances would be much greater."

"But, I'm afraid it's still not enough for me to win the Nobel Prize."

"I won the Nobel Prize after a year? It's really unlikely." Dalbeco did not hide his purpose at this time and smiled: "PCR has received enough topics. You are more famous in the United States than me, and the genome project has benefited a lot. I want to thank you."

"You are kind, I should thank you."

"Your PCR is worth a Nobel Prize reward. They don't understand it now, but they will understand it later. The old men staying on the top of the tower need to smash open the coffin to see the world." Dalbeco cursed and said, "It's a pity that if the news of human beings leaving Africa could come out earlier, PCR and genome projects would also get more attention."

The Genome Project is a world-class scientific research project, and it can even be said to be the world's largest scientific research project. However, the Genome Project did not receive natural attention and financial support.

Dalbeco and Watson still had to work hard to obtain funds and support from the US Congress and the president.

Its background is completely different from the same huge "Manhattan Project" and the "Apollo Moon Landing Plan". The Manhattan Project was at the end of World War II. The speed of the atomic bomb development determined the speed of the end of World War II. Judging from the actual results, the explosion of the two atomic bombs, at least a few months in advance, led to Japan's surrender. If it were a few months faster, it might have shortened the time for Europe's liberation.

The Apollo moon landing plan was born in the Cold War, and its significance lies in the end of the war. The suffocating space race between the United States and the Soviet Union is not so much for landing on the moon, but rather for proof of the technology and military strength of both sides. Accompanied by Armstrong's famous saying of a small step in mankind, not only are footprints on the moon, but also the Soviet Union's weakening of ballistic missiles and the signing of the nuclear treaty, which means that the shadow of World War III has been greatly weakened.

The Genome Project has no imminent threat of war. It is the first peace plan for humanity in peacetime, but the goal is billions of dollars in long-term investment. It is naturally difficult to obtain approval from the US government, let alone, it has funds from participating countries to cooperate, and it is even more difficult to confirm funds.

In fact, it is because the US government feels that it is not cost-effective to do this basic scientific research alone that Dalbeko's initiative turned into international cooperation.

This naturally doubled the difficulty and Dalbeco's anxiety.

In just one phone call, Dalbeco had mentioned attention twice.

Yang Rui then took the initiative: "In fact, it is not difficult to use this topic. I just need to keep silent so that the reporters cannot be sure whether I have won the Nobel Prize. The topic should be able to continue until the award ceremony."

"Will you do this?"

"It's nothing difficult. I don't need to lie, I just keep silent." Yang Rui shrugged: "Many scholars nominated by the Nobel Prize will do this."

Many scholars do not like to show up or deal with journalists, which makes silence very popular in the academic circle. On the other hand, confirming that they have not won the Nobel Prize is not a natural answer for scholars, and many people cannot even find a reason to do it.

Dalbeco let out a light breath and smiled, "It would be great if you can do this too. Of course, I can't make a decision on your behalf..."

"I don't want to contact the media recently. At least, I don't want to answer their questions about the Nobel Prize. I have research to do." The voices on the cross-border phone were rustling, but Yang Rui's answer was very clear.

Dalbeco said a few more words and hung up the phone with satisfaction. The human genome project was at its most intense time and he needed all the strength he could gain.

Yang Rui was even more satisfied. A few hours ago, he didn't know the news that "humans walked out of Africa". As for keeping silent, it was more in line with Yang Rui's current mood.

Just like all Nobel Prize candidates, no one is willing to announce their withdrawal before the answer is announced. This is not only an emotional need, but also an intellectual need - the Nobel Prize is only awarded to living people. What if this year's winner suddenly dies?

Although it is a bit bad, I dreamed of it at midnight and thought about it so much that I seem to have a more stable sleep.

After hanging up the phone, researchers from the Ion Channel Laboratory rushed up.

Those who do scientific research will never have nothing to do, especially when the equipment is fully equipped, making big news and other things are what everyone pursues. Yang Rui has spent more time in genetic engineering laboratories recently, and he has less time to come to the ion channel laboratory, and everyone has accumulated a lot of problems.

However, submissions of academic journals cannot be stopped during this period.

Yang Rui answered one by one, and read the papers published by several people, which was the end of the day's work.

At this time, Yang Rui already felt like he was a "boss".

The boss in the scientific research laboratory has a physical strength of roughly the same as the boss of a small restaurant. It is normal to go to bed at 5 o'clock in the morning to buy vegetables and other things. However, compared with the boss of the small restaurant, the boss of the laboratory has a very strong mental strength. Thinking all the time is basically a daily attribute. If it cannot be done, the development of scientific research will stop there.

However, there are still many scientific researchers who can do it. On this basis, managing several laboratories at the same time becomes a matter of time.

Yang Rui is still exploring, but he also has considerable experience. At least, when dealing with the problems of researchers in the ion channel laboratory, Yang Rui is much more mature than before.

Naturally, this also means that researchers in the ion channel laboratory have fewer and fewer opportunities to get answers directly. However, this is also the only way for the development of large laboratories. Researchers must continue to grow to catch up with the development of large laboratories and undertake more and more work, which is also the achievements of researchers.

If it is just to get an answer, many researchers may work in the industry - they don’t need their own talented brains anyway, so it’s better to find a place with a high salary to support their elderly care.

After a little delay, Yang Rui rode his bicycle back to Xiyuan Community. It was already eight o'clock.

"I'll wait for a long time, I'm late to come back." Yang Rui pushed the door and saw Jing Yulan sitting on the windowsill reading quietly. There was a slight heat in the kitchen and a faint fragrance.
