Chapter 1167 5,000,000
Not any scientific research project can be advanced in advance.
There are many prerequisites for some scientific research projects, especially research projects that require various scientific tools. Without necessary scientific tools and without previous research, some projects cannot be carried out even if they have to work hard.
Therefore, the cost ahead is that you need to stand more steadily and lift your feet higher, because the steps ahead are not only without giant corpses, but also people may stuff their bodies in front of you, beside you and even behind you, resulting in a scientific research competition happening as scheduled.
In this regard, European laboratories actually have more experience.
Many Chinese students will deeply understand it after studying in Europe or studying: "Europeans who do research are so patient. They have been studying XX problems for many years, and they do not publish small results at all, and they just aim for the big results..."
Regardless of the system of European laboratories, they do.
This practice is actually to produce stepping stones for yourself. If you make any discoveries, don’t publish them for now, so as not to attract a group of wolves, so you can continue to do it silently until you make a big discovery.
However, the scientific research methods of European laboratories are highly challenging in the field of G protein coupled receptors.
Because there are a large number of scientific research laboratories in the field of G protein coupled receptors, and mainly large and medium-sized scientific research laboratories, they are not all European models.
There are so many scientific research laboratories in such a small field, and the result is that the scientific research competition is extremely fierce. Everyone is rushing to publish results. European laboratories hide results that they do not publish. Perhaps within a few days, similar data and research have been published by other laboratories.
In this way, laboratories that adhere to the European operating model may lose all their money. For laboratories, the results are life. Whether investors are capitalists, countries or individuals, they always want to see results. At least, they tend to invest money in laboratories with results.
Of course, investors in many European laboratories are mostly patient and bureaucratic state capital, or even more patient family capital, so they can tolerate a long-term non-result state. However, the corresponding non-result state for a longer period of time corresponds to an occasional large-result state rather than a non-result state from beginning to end.
Therefore, in the field of G protein coupled receptors, many European laboratories either return with a broken wing or change customs.
However, the situation Yang Rui faced was different again.
Although he still needs to raise his feet, as long as he chooses the right direction, he may be able to overtake on the curve.
It's really because the field of G protein-coupled receptors is too difficult.
Scientists started doing it in the 1960s, to the 1980s, and then to the 1910s. Although the territory of the G-protein-coupled receptor field has been expanded countless times, there are still many unknown points in it.
Therefore, from the beginning to the end, the G protein coupled receptor field is not a serious mountaineering path, and there are too many breakpoints in it.
Yang Rui predicted that some of the breakpoints could be made up for by himself using current technology, and he might have a chance to take a fast path.
Of course, it is simple to say but difficult to do.
To climb in the field of G protein coupled receptors, you also need to climb out of style and results, that is equivalent to climbing on Mount Everest of the living creature. Not only do you have to climb higher and faster than others, but you also need to build a base camp for future generations to take a step forward.
Not only that, before the base camp is built, you have to pay attention to the path you choose, not the secret path that others have told you, and you have to pay attention to whether anyone follows you behind you.
Finally, to do such a project, you must ensure the unity and friendship of the laboratory.
In other words, it takes too long to do a large scientific research project. Even if Yang Rui can stand his mind, there are many changes, so he has to be careful of someone becoming a traitor.
In this kind of meat grinder-like battle, on the front line of the laboratory, it is really a way to use all kinds of methods.
Yang Rui is no longer an unknown person now. His ion channel laboratory has a certain reputation in the biology community, which is a good thing most of the time, but in such a war, it is mixed.
What I am happy about is that someone will pay attention to your achievements, and what I am worried about is that if you have not published a paper for a year or two, your colleagues will be curious: Hey, what is the Peking University Ion Channel Laboratory doing recently?
Yang Rui can't restrict the researchers in the laboratory from participating in academic activities or social activities. Isn't it just about talking about work? What should I talk about if I don't talk about work? I can't talk about girlfriends hiding in my sleeves.
So if it is a general scientific research, it would be fine if everyone discusses their own work, but if they do G-protein coupled receptors, it is hard to say what their colleagues who are trapped in a meat-mincing war are thinking.
The possibility of common progress in healthy competition does exist.
But on the other hand, as the head of the laboratory, Yang Rui must consider more and worse.
For example, if a certain scientific research laboratory invests $20 million a year to make G-protein-coupled receptors, which lasts for 10 years, and it turns out that your project progress seems to be on par with them, and may even win in scientific research competition, then what should the scientific research laboratory do? Will you waste your $200 million investment in ten years?
Could someone, because he was unwilling to give up, gave up $200,000 and bribed researchers at the Peking University Ion Channel Laboratory, hoping to obtain some experimental data, or even ask them to create fake data?
If Yang Rui was just an ordinary scientific researcher, he would not have to consider these issues unless someone had a salary equivalent to his 20,000-month salary.
But Yang Rui was in charge of the Peking University Ion Channel Laboratory, so he had to make complete plans.
Yang Rui thought about it all night and found some relevant information to read it. The next day, he went to the ion channel laboratory with confidence.
He first held a meeting as usual and solved his daily problems, and then said: "Please stay first, Su Xiankai, let me explain to you what you reported to me yesterday."
Su Xiankai immediately stood up excitedly and talked about the various G protein-coupled receptors.
Yang Rui gave him more than ten minutes, then observed everyone's expressions and said, "According to Su Xiankai's request, I decided to disband the G protein group in our laboratory. All projects, projects, funds, equipment, etc. are all included in the public part of the laboratory. At the same time, reconstruct the G protein coupling receptor group, and I will be the leader of the group, and everyone else can sign up to join. Su Xiankai?"
"I'll join." Su Xiankai nodded vigorously.
Yang Rui nodded, and wrote down Su Xiankai's name on the blackboard behind him, and then said without waiting for others to register, "I'll say first that the scale of this project team is extraordinary and has many requirements. Going abroad, contacting foreigners, etc. will be restricted. Of course, the laboratory will also give you certain subsidies, which will not make everyone sweat or cry."
Because of Yang Rui's seriousness, there was a burst of tension in the conference room. It was obvious that this was an important directional choice.
Fan Zhenlong, who is also the future Mavericks, hesitated and asked: "If we enter this project team, what should we do with the existing projects we have?"
"Take it a handover." Yang Rui answered without hesitation.
After saying this, it became even more difficult for a few people to make a decision immediately.
If they only work part-time, they may be interested in the scale of the project, but giving up the project that they have been working on for a long time will be too expensive.
Yang Rui didn't urge, just said: "If you are interested, come to my place to register. In addition, I want to explain in advance that the public resources of the laboratory will be tilted towards the project team, and it will be tilted greatly. Of course, we will not ask for money from each team at present, but everyone should be mentally prepared and actively apply for funds. In addition, I will apply for more funds to the G protein-coupled receptor team. The first phase of the funding is expected to be so much."
As he spoke, Yang Rui wrote down a line of numbers on the blackboard:
5,000,000
Without a unit or explanation, Yang Rui left.
A group of future calves were confused.
I heard a small voice asking: "This is about 5 million yuan? How long will it take for the first issue?"
"The first period of the funding is RMB 5 million?"
"How do you know it's 5 million yuan?"
"Isn't it?"
"Why are there any birds to use for G-protein coupled receptors if you need so much RMB?"
"It can't be $5 million? Don't say it, it's really possible." Tian Bing's eyes lit up when he said this, and he said, "Director Yang sometimes likes to use dollar prices."
"Maybe it's yen?"
"The yen is almost the same, and you can buy a lot of instruments."
"It's really yen if you can't do it."
"Maybe it's yen, hahaha..."
"Actually, there are not many yen."
After someone said this, everyone fell silent.
