Chapter 1288 Superficial
Why can X-ray win the Nobel Prize? Why can de Broglie win the Nobel Prize? Even why can PCR win the Nobel Prize in history be related to the public opinion environment at that time.
Of course, this does not mean that someone’s Nobel Prize is derived from publicity - there are too few places in Nobel Prize. The result is that every scholar and research that wins Nobel Prize can be said to be of extraordinary value. However, why do they win Nobel Prize instead of other people who are equally extraordinary? There are countless variables.
The biggest variable is ultimately the role of human beings.
When a winner has an advantage in the public opinion environment, his chances of winning the Nobel Prize are much higher.
This is reflected not only in the review board, but also in the nominees.
Although the Nobel Prize never talks about the number of nominees, from a realistic perspective, the more nominees are, the more likely they are to win the Nobel Prize.
The candidates responsible for the nomination, whether they are professors from Caroline Medical School, former Nobel Prize winners, or professors from many universities around the world, are inevitably influenced by public opinion.
Yang Rui did not need to describe it in detail to Cao Da, but after he briefly said that Ambassador Cao, who had already studied on his own, understood and said, "So you want to get publicity within Sweden?"
"It is best to promote globally. If you can't do it, you can only be within Sweden." Yang Rui felt helpless. Why was Muris able to win a PCR award? In order to promote PCR, his company spent two years to hold various PCR lectures around the world.
It can be said that no one in the world's laboratories and scholars in related fields around the world know that it was Muris who did PCR.
During the most noisy period, if you attend any biological-related international conference or forum in the pharmaceutical industry, you will definitely hear PCR and Muris.
When it developed into the early 1990s, whenever a scholar started the PCR machine, he thought of the name of Muris. Such propaganda was extremely terrifying.
However, when Yang Rui took the lead in completing PCR, he did not have such conditions.
On the one hand, he himself hopes to do more scientific research rather than publicity. On the other hand, Yang Rui's Chinese identity is not the type that sales companies are willing to support.
This is a transparent ceiling, and you cannot fly up like a white man. You have to use all your strength at once to knock it away.
Furthermore, it is quite difficult for Yang Rui to raise such resources, and the cost will only be higher.
No matter what Yang Rui’s idea was, Cao Da frowned when he just asked Yang Rui to frown and said, “It’s not a small matter whether it’s global or Sweden-wide. Do you have any plans?”
"I have several, but I don't know which one is more suitable." Yang Rui naturally considered it carefully. At this time, he said: "The first basic one is that I can associate PCR with the human genome project. The human genome project can be said to be a super moon landing plan, which is very promising. PCR is the core technology..."
Cao Da finished listening without comment and asked again: "What about the second type?"
"I think it's not suitable?" Yang Rui heard that he was not optimistic.
Cao Da nodded with a smile and said, "The human genome plan you mentioned is different from the moon landing. Everyone knows that the moon landing plan is to go to the moon. If you can figure it out, the genes will not be so clear, let alone PCR is just one of the technologies."
"Then give up this plan." Yang Rui didn't mean to be here, saying: "The second type can be used to use the celebrity effect. PCR can accurately measure bleeding relationships. Whether it is father and son or brother, there is no problem. If you find a suitable celebrity, you should be able to create news."
Cao Da didn't understand much and asked: "Is it just to test the relationship between father and son? Brotherly relationship?"
"Almost all, paternity tests and other things can determine the blood relationship between two people by 100%, which is much more accurate than blood recognition and blood type measurement." Yang Rui said and patted his head: "By the way, if necessary, we can also fund archaeology. As far as I know, some scholars are studying the tomb of the last Russian tsar. Through PCR technology, they can confirm whether the corpse in the tomb is the real last tsar. They have doubts about this at present, which should be considered big news."
At least, this is a news that can be broadcast on China News Network.
Cao Da asked curiously: "How to confirm?"
"It is best to find the biological heritage left by the Tsar during his lifetime, and a certain judgment can be made through his descendants." Yang Rui did not say it all. In history, when the last Tsar was the prince, he visited Japan and was stabbed. The Japanese samurai sword that stabbed him was still well preserved in Tokyo. As long as the blood stains were extracted on it, it can be judged whether the last Tsar was really lying in the tomb.
This was originally a good example of the use of PCR. Sweden and the Soviet Union bordered and had the desire to understand each other. Even if such news cannot spread throughout the world, it must have a certain influence in Sweden.
Cao Da said slowly: "If there is no better way, this will not be a trick, but..."
"but?"
"It's a bit unsafe." Cao Da said: "I don't know what the biological heritage you mean, but archaeology itself is not very stable. If something goes wrong, it's too late for you to think about other tricks."
"It's indeed a problem." Yang Rui took a sip of wine in annoyance.
Cao Da asked again: "Do you have any other ideas?"
"You can also do crime scene investigations, which are the same as archaeology." Yang Rui shrugged and said, "Just like fingerprints are a person's mark, DNA is even more so. PCR can easily test DNA, so it is used for criminal investigation. This is a very common purpose..."
"This is good!" Cao Da's idea was completely different from Yang Rui. His voice increased by 20%, and he lowered his voice, saying, "That is to say, PCR can solve the case, right?"
"certainly."
“What are the requirements?”
"If the criminal leaves biological clues, such as hair, blood, saliva, ***, etc., it can be used for comparison. Like fingerprints, if you find the suspect, the same DNA is the same person." Yang Rui said it very easily.
In fact, it is indeed very relaxing.
In later generations, I would like to randomly pull someone out and I would know that I should not leave DNA when committing crimes, but in the 1980s, no one knew this.
So, just like when fingerprints are first released, they can be used to catch many criminals.
The newly released DNA is basically at the artifact level.
Cao Da was confused and said, "Isn't this very useful? I think this is good. If you can really catch a criminal who is extremely sinful and add the explanation of advanced technology, Europeans will be very concerned about such news."
Yang Rui nodded slowly and said, "Then we need to find a suitable case."
"This is easy to deal with. I will recommend the Swedish police chief to you." Cao Da said, calling a staff member over and asked him to point the director's position to himself, and then pulled Yang Rui over.
Yang Rui hesitated for a moment and followed.
Criminal cases in developed countries in Europe and the United States are very easy to make big news, and Simpson's wife murder cases are emerging one after another. Serial killers are frequent visitors to European and American TV stations. From Jack the Ripper to Brevik, who lives in a luxury prison in Norway, they often appear in news and even movies.
