"Professor Yang, let's talk while walking." Mr. Zheng has met Yang Rui several times and is a relatively familiar young man in the scientific community.

When he needs to make scientific decisions, he will occasionally consult Yang Rui. Of course, most of the time is passed through documents.

Yang Rui smiled at the CCTV official who was accompanying him and said, "It's not intentional to disturb you, but I think the latest news from the laboratory should be reported to you immediately."

"Yeah, is everything going well?" Mr. Zheng's first thought was the same as Yang Rui. Did something happen?

It is not as easy as researchers think of laboratory accidents, ordinary people are still quite worried about laboratories, especially biological laboratories.

Even for senior officials, the accident can be very serious.

Such as the chemical plant accident in India in the 1970s, they made them very popular internationally.

Fortunately, Yang Rui's expression was relaxed, so Mr. Zheng didn't have to think too deeply.

Yang Rui looked to both sides and said, "I don't know if you remember that I once asked for a larger research project as the No. 1 project of the Genetic Engineering Laboratory."

"Of course I have an impression. You asked for a lot of money." Old Zheng laughed.

If we talk about the total amount of funds, China’s most expensive thing now is infrastructure, followed by factory renewal. The so-called infrastructure maniac is not called in vain. It is like the Gezhouba project, which was world-class in the 1980s. Although there are projects such as the Three Gorges that surpass it later, we cannot think that the previous records are indifferent because the records are even more exaggerated.

Compared with infrastructure expenses, China's military expenditure is nothing, so research funds are naturally subsided. The tens of millions of yuan of funds offered to Yang Rui cannot be said to be well-known, and relevant people have heard of them.

Yang Rui laughed twice and said seriously: "The money has not been spent in vain, we have made it."

"Yo? I've made achievements? It's good, science and education are the only way to improve the country, so that science and education are needed to improve the country. CCTV also needs to do more interviews and reports in this regard." Mr. Zheng did not let the accompanying staff on both sides be too lonely.

"Absolute." The CCTV cadre next to him quickly expressed his opinion and smiled at Yang Rui: "We have been following Professor Yang's research, and we will continue to track it in the future..."

Yang Rui nodded in cooperation and said, "If you only do some, you dare not delay your itinerary."

"Huh. I made it?" Zheng Laoke knew what Yang Rui did.

Yang Ruizheng focused on the topic. He had confirmed it repeatedly. At this time, he said without hesitation: "As the same as expected, we have completed it, and the project can be declared successful, but I."

Mr. Zheng walked very evenly and suddenly stopped.

If the few cadres following behind him were not escaping, there would have been problems at that time.

"In this way, find a conference room with a telephone number, and Yang Rui will follow me first." Mr. Zheng said to the CCTV people, but fortunately, the somewhat stunned cadre quickly reacted.

"Go to my office, there is a confidential phone number." The leader of the director team immediately stepped forward and opened the way. When he arrived at the place, he was pulled out again.

Mr. Zheng and Yang Rui entered one after another, closing the door tightly.

The leader who was locked outside the door looked back and whispered: "My Huang, is the visit still continuing?"

"Of course." Secretary Huang said: "The time may be shortened, and the itinerary will not change."

"I understand, I'll reschedule the rehearsal program..."

"No need to be so troublesome, rehearsals will be as usual." Secretary Huang's answer immediately made several people feel sad.

In the room, Mr. Zheng's expression was not relaxed either.

If you want to explain the meaning of "cloning a sheep" to a person outside of the academic community, you can explain in one sentence: cloning a person is no longer technically difficult.

Yes, the real meaning of cloning sheep is that it is the first mammal to be cloned. Before that, humans had cloned microorganisms, invertebrates, and various fish and amphibians...

However, cloning mammals, and somatic clones, is the first and most worrying thing.

This threshold is just about spending some money and time to cloning. If you want a number, a genetics laboratory with good facilities will add tens of millions of dollars to a few years, and then a clone will definitely be able to make it.

Some people may say that tens of millions of dollars are not enough, and a few years is not short, and how much does it cost and how many years does it cost?

It doesn’t matter exactly how much it is. What you need to pay attention to at this moment is the issue of orders of magnitude.

Tens of millions of dollars are a great funding for any single laboratory, but what is it for a project that people care about?

If there are no ethics and public opinion restrictions, any radio and television station or film company may be willing to pay for a clone.

Before the cloned sheep appeared, no one knew how long it would take to cross this line.

From the perspective of hindsight, many people probably think that cloning a sheep is a matter of course, but science does not proceed in this way.

It is natural for mammals to mammals, but it is not the case from amphibians to mammals.

Just like the nuclear fission reactor after the hydrogen bomb of the atomic bomb is natural, but many people are happy to believe that nuclear fusion is coming and human beings are about to enter an era of extreme energy abundance. The material cornerstone of communism is almost completed, which is too natural. Nuclear fusion has been influenced by huge sums of money for decades and is still far away.

The same examples include the moon landing plan. After the 1970s, there are countless literary works that imagine Mars landing and alien colonization. People naturally believe that if you land on the moon, you can land on Mars, and if you land on Mars, you can colonize aliens...

However, everyone knows the result.

The same is true for cloning sheep. If no one completes the cloning of a mammal, it is difficult to say whether the cloning of a mammal can be successful.

Maybe it can be made within 10 years, or maybe it can't be seen in 50 years.

Especially the cloned sheep made of somatic cells, the so-called real cloning, no one dared to guarantee the so-called "real cloning" before it was done.

Maybe it may not be possible?

It is also difficult for scholars to give a definite answer. Decades ago, scholars believed that they could find the ether, but what was the result?

The same example can also be used to freeze humans and head replacement. If it is successful, people will congratulate them like after artificial heart replacement: I know.

If it fails, people...no one knows the name of the loser.

Yang Rui also cloned the sheep with fear of failure.

The loss of failure is huge, while the meaning of success is to break through the sky.

This is true for scholars and officials.

"Professor Yang, what are your next plans?" Zheng Laoxian asked Yang Rui.
