Chapter 468: Once in a lifetime (seeking a monthly ticket)
"Although I have seen this paper more than once, I still feel very different every time I read it. In fact, until now, I can't believe that a paper that can create a genre was written by a freshman student." Professor Cai's voice was so soft that it was soft, gently breaking the tranquility in the conference room.
Yang Rui clearly heard a clear exhalation.
The pressure of collective silence is still very huge.
Yang Rui twisted his waist gently and said, "I can't believe it either."
A few chuckles sounded, and on this serious occasion, this was just a joke.
Professor Cai nodded slightly and smiled and said, "There is no luck in success. We actually see how you did it. When you first entered the school, the article you took out was "The Generation and Damage Mechanism of Oxygen Free Radicals", and there is another article better. Remember it is "The Molecular Mechanism of Voltage Gated in Sodium and Potassium Channels".
"Yes. I didn't expect you to remember." Yang Rui almost forgot his name.
Professor Cai smiled and said, "I only read the name before the meeting."
Everyone in the room laughed. The title requirements for the paper are very clear, which means using keywords to explain what you are writing, emphasizing accuracy and logic, which makes it difficult for ordinary people to remember the full name.
Even Yang Rui can't remember all his paper titles now, let alone others.
Tang Jiong took the opportunity and said, "The first time I read "The Generation and Damage Mechanism of Oxygen Free Radicals", I still feel that the knowledge is outdated, and "The Molecular Mechanism of Voltage Gated in Sodium and Potassium Channels" is very insightful. Our school is also stingy and persuaded me. In the end, I gave a 2,000 yuan school fund, which was what Cheng Shi helped me to talk about."
Professor Cheng Shi, who was named, smiled.
Yang Rui nodded to him thankfully, he didn't know what was in it before.
Professor Cai smiled concealedly and said, "We have limited funds. Besides, at that time, who could guess that Yang Rui actually killed the molecular mechanism of the potassium channel all the way..."
"Zhao Zilong, Peking University." Professor Wang Yong, who has always been optimistic about Yang Rui, praised it very interestingly.
President Liu followed closely behind and smiled and said, "I killed seven in seven out on the sodium and potassium slope."
The allusions of the Three Kingdoms once again caused a gentle laugh, making the conference room harmonious and harmonious. It also proved that the laugh points of scholars are indeed low enough. There is no way. After all, academic jokes are a bit of a threshold, and there is a lack of jokers who specialize in them. It is not like stock market jokes, and it can easily increase the laugh points if you hear hundreds or eighty ones a day.
Before Yang Rui could react, Professor Cai continued, "What I admire most..."
He solemnly and accented, used the word "admiration", paused, and said again: "Yang Rui, what I admire most is that you are willing to raise funds for research by yourself. I thought you were a newborn calf and not afraid of tigers, but unexpectedly, you were made into it. You are a tiger going down the mountain."
Yang Rui touched his head and smiled, "Lucky."
"It's indeed a lucky draw." Professor Cai put his expression seriously this time and said, "This time I've made it happen. We can naturally recall the process with a smile, but you never thought about what would happen if you failed?"
The conference room fell into silence again.
Scientific research that is scattered can be easy, but scientific research that is eager to succeed can become cruel.
At some point, running towards success means entering a world that is so cruel that it is powerless.
The most common cruelty is the cruelty of scientific research funds.
Without scientific research funds, scientific research cannot be done. The researchers in the New China who have experienced a poor and backward experience in their hearts. Of course, in the government's propaganda, there are indeed some scientific researchers who have made great achievements with very little funding, but it is like winning a lottery, which is possible nationwide, but it is never guaranteed.
Ten years ago, Professor Tao Qimin from Peking University tried the first hepatitis B vaccine in China on himself, which was nothing more than a gorilla that could not get hundreds of thousands of dollars a day. The reason why they needed to try was because they had already made the hepatitis B vaccine, and only the last step of testing was needed to create the vaccine that China needed the most at that time.
However, they did not get the gorilla after all.
It is hard to imagine that Professor Tao Qimin chose to inject himself into the mood of He Qi. Despair? Maybe it was too heavy, but hope was too relaxed.
This may not be a well-thought-out decision, but it is definitely not an impulse. Because Tao Qimin has two children, she told the two children about this, but "the two children are still young and don't know anything."
It’s not that there is no choice. No one will risk a lifelong infectious disease and give himself a shot.
As for the management at that time, it might be because of the fact that Tao Qimin needed that he did not give the gorilla that he needed. Maybe he was busy with other things, maybe he was lack of ability, or maybe he didn't trust Tao Qimin's last shot...
Since the world's top stars may also kick the penalty kick, it is not surprising that the researcher failed in the last shot.
There are thousands of reasons for failure, but only success can be praised.
A successful Yang Rui will have the opportunity to publish a paper to "Cell", but what about the failed Yang Rui?
"Did the Huarui Laboratory, which provided you with funds, make any requests?" Professor Cai made a guess for granted and said: "If you have any difficulties, you can raise them and we will help you solve them."
Everyone in the conference room nodded and looked at Yang Rui.
"It's just a normal scientific research contract. The other party took a fancy to the technology of Coenzyme Q10 that I made, so he provided me with funds. Fortunately, he did a good job, so he got a second fund." Yang Rui was young after all, and was excited about success, which was different from Professor Cai and others' feelings.
Tang Ji thought he couldn't hide his face, so he hurriedly said, "Yang Rui, Professor Cai is a member of the school department. Even if it is a commercial contract, he can help. If you have any difficulties, tell me."
Wang Yong also said: "We all say that you can't shed blood or cry. You have achieved results. This is a good thing. The other party is also an investment. Don't feel that you owe them."
They think Yang Rui is an understatement. Scientific research competition is not about treating guests to dinner. Just look at Richard. The University of California, Berkeley is one of the top 10 universities in the world and is almost at the top in biology. However, even professors in such top universities have completely declined after losing millions of dollars.
For young people like Yang Rui, any fund provider will have various restrictions. It is terrible to fail, but sometimes it will be terrible to win.
It seems that ordinary Chinese people don’t understand the funds provided by poisoned wine, so why don’t the professors here understand?
Professor Cai said again: "Don't have any worries. You are from our Peking University. Peking University will not let you suffer any losses."
"Thank you, Professor Cai. It's indeed a good cooperation plan, and it's successful now, without any sequelae." Yang Rui was a little moved.
Professor Cai was able to say this in front of everyone, which really gave him a reassurance.
Although various problems still existed before the publication of the paper "CELL", and Peking University did not raise the matter solemnly and seemed a little snobbish, Yang Rui could understand it very well.
Because before the paper was published and before the research was successful, some people would rather drink it even though they knew it was poisonous wine.
At least you have the money to drink poisoned wine, at least you can burn your boat, win or survive, lose or die, be better than letting the project slip away from your hands in a daze.
In the past few years, most Chinese researchers did not share the dividends of successful research. For example, the famous Qian Xuesen made an atomic bomb and received a total bonus of 10 yuan. In other words, if the research failed, his bonus was only 10 yuan less. It was only after the 1980s that the tide of scientific researchers brought the researchers a victory red envelope.
Because of this, the capital poisons in the early 1980s were not rejected.
It is Yang Rui's own business that Yang Rui is willing to drink poisoned wine. Peking University does not have any control, and there is no need to take care of it. It can even be said that it is not easy for Yang Rui to have the ability to find poisoned wine. How many people can't find poisoned wine?
Yang Rui has made unexpected achievements now. Professor Cai took the initiative to hand over the antidote, which is not only rare, but also respects his choice.
Tang Ji asked Yang Rui carefully about the details of the contract, and Yang Rui answered them one by one. Of course, his version was based on the contract he signed with Huang Mao and others. It is a contract template that is slightly harsh in later generations and is now slightly generous.
Professor Cai and others listened carefully, and several professors who had dealt with foreigners also made suggestions.
After this paragraph was said, the conference room gradually became quieter.
Yang Rui looked at both sides and thought to himself: It seems that he is going to solve the mystery. I don’t know what Professor Cai wants to do when he gathered everyone.
The most likely thing is to cooperate to analyze the potassium channel project by cloning mutant genes. Yang Rui and the others have made one, but there are more than ten or hundreds of genes that determine the potassium channel. The first few of them can still be included in top journals.
This is also the main reason why Yang Rui's papers can account for the largest amount of space in the same issue. Although top journals require groundbreaking research, groundbreaking things like Yang Rui are almost first-class.
Next, researchers who can check for missing items and fill in the gaps will be different from Yang Rui's paper treatment. Then, it will be very difficult to enter "CELL".
Of course, when most potassium channel genes are tossed and discovered, papers that spend more time and money to make may also be re-entered on top journals. This is like the retro style of the fashion industry, which seems regular and irregular.
In fact, what kind of research is considered pioneering research and then becoming a top journal is a bit like the fashion industry. Before Yang Rui's paper was officially published, everyone felt that there was a chance, but no one could say with certainty that his paper would definitely be published.
This is like a designer who has made diamond-shaped large flower-style clothing that many people like, but no one can say whether he can show it in Paris and Milan.
But on the other hand, once the designer is shown in Milan, the diamond-shaped flower-style clothing is undoubtedly a new fashion, just like a pioneering paper once published in a top journal, establishing groundbreaking research.
At this stage, the latter determines the former, and the later followers, as long as they are fast enough and of good quality, can definitely enter the top stage.
However, after five or ten years, after the accumulation of time, followers often disappear with the wind, while original creators will re-establish their status with their works.
For papers, high citations will be the most basic compliment.
Now, Yang Rui's paper has just been published and researchers from various countries are basically at the same level in the research on potassium channels. If Peking University also wants to follow the trend and get two top papers, finding Yang Rui is the easiest way.
After all, Yang Rui's paper is not described and explained in detail. The complex process during this period will still consume a lot of money and time for those who advance.
If they continue to cooperate with Yang Rui on the research on potassium channel, they may even rush to publish another paper before the first follower appears.
Before this, Huang Mao and Tu Xian had similar thoughts, but they had no funds.
But in this conference room, there are quite a few professors in independent laboratories. Even with Yang Rui’s papers, it is easier for them to apply for funds, which is somewhat humorous.
Just when Yang Rui was thinking about everything, Professor Cai looked at everyone and said unexpectedly: "Yang Rui, are you willing to lead an independent laboratory?"
"What!" Yang Rui turned his head for more than ten minutes, but he really didn't expect this result.
The independent laboratories in universities are not just a joke, they are really independent, especially before 2000, when the system was not perfect, and having an independent laboratory was like obtaining a fief. Except for incomplete political rights, they are relatively independent in finance and personnel. Unless they are thunder from the sky, they are a small kingdom in the school.
It can be said that having an independent laboratory is the lifelong pursuit of Chinese researchers.
Generally speaking, pursuing a lifetime of success and being able to lead an independent research laboratory can be said to be successful.
Professor Cai just smiled and did not explain the meaning of an independent laboratory, and instead said: "The professors and associate professors here today either have their own independent laboratory or work in an independent laboratory. You can choose one or two people and join your laboratory. Of course, when you choose others, others choose you, you have to show some real skills to attract others to join."
Yes, not only most associate professors do not have independent laboratories, but most professors do not have independent laboratories. However, the associate professors at the level may work in the independent laboratories of the academy, while the professors at the level may work in the independent laboratories of the academy. In addition, there are always some professors and associate professors who are idling outside the scientific research circle, and now they are open their eyes wide to see if there is any good luck in them.
Yang Rui didn't have time to be shocked, so he tried to calm down and asked: "Are you a professor or an associate professor?"
"If you choose a professor, you will form an independent laboratory together. Your project must be satisfactory. If you choose an associate professor, you will either form an independent laboratory together, or he will assist you, and it depends on your project." Professor Cai obviously did not have a sudden idea, but had a design.
At this time, not only must we strive for courage, but also Yang Rui's accumulation. If he can produce CELL-level projects, there will naturally be people who are willing to condescend to decline. If he can't produce them, he can at least do a few more sets of potassium channels and write a few papers in top journals.
As for domestic scientific research level, an independent laboratory can be enough to print a top journal in three to five years.
Yang Rui's own strength will also determine whether he is really leading the laboratory, or becoming a puppet of the laboratory leader, or simply becoming a laboratory mascot.
In the conference room, everyone was laughing.
Yang Rui's little heart beats "bang": This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
