"Can I go abroad at my own expense? Ask the school to help me contact the report quota for an international conference." Yang Rui's own travel abroad is useless. Various international conferences require invitation letters. The specifications of advanced academic conferences are higher, making it more difficult to give reports at meetings.

If Yang Rui hadn’t had a CELL, his current article would be good, so he wouldn’t have to think about it.

If there is no invitation letter, like many civil scientists outside various international conferences, they can only hold signs to protest.

Professor Cai knew that Yang Rui was rich, but he could only shake his head regretfully and said, "There is an invitation to an international conference, and there is no free quota in recent months. If you can get it yourself, I won't stop you from going abroad."

"I'm afraid it's too late to go." Yang Rui sighed.

"I'll ask you. Maybe there are still quotas in the Department of Chemistry or the school, so the chance is not great." Professor Cai shook his head again and said that he couldn't help.

Of course, he did not really recognize the value of PCR. If he knew that PCR could win the Nobel Prize, it wouldn't be necessary. As long as he could get the title once in 20 years, Professor Cai immediately took off his clothes and traveled around the Second Ring Road in Beijing for 13 minutes, begging for a meeting place.

However, most academic achievements cannot be seen when they are still seeds.

Furthermore, sitting in the position of department chair, Professor Cai also hopes that Yang Rui can put Peking University in his signature.

After comforting Yang Rui, Professor Cai sent Yang Rui out.

Yang Rui could only return to the laboratory to think quietly, and made two cross-border calls, but he did not encounter any miracles.

He met several foreign professors at an international conference in Beijing, and some of them maintained contact, but their abilities were not enough to get Yang Rui to jump into the lineup.

At this time, Yang Rui deeply felt that his connections were insufficient.

Fortunately, I was admitted to Peking University. If Nature is published smoothly, there will not be too big problems.

At that time, there will be a CELL and a NATURE result under Yang Rui's name. Although there are many students and teachers who can publish papers in top journals in top journals, there will be fewer people who can publish two articles.

This will make it easier for the academic community to recognize his contribution to PCR.

However, if it cannot be published smoothly in Nature and there is no meeting to give a report... Yang Rui's entanglement has almost no end and it is difficult to find a solution.

At this time, he couldn't help but have the previous thoughts again: If I had started PCR a little later...

However, the fact is that it cannot be too late. If it goes on, Americans have not registered a patent for PCR, but the idea of ​​PCR should also emerge.

At that time, a freshman in Chinese college will compete with a white American PhD to discover the right, and no matter how you think about it, it will be the rhythm of Yang Rui losing.

After this weekend, Li Wenqiang and others made part of the "golden standard", or to be more precise, they got it done well.

When doing the "golden rule", the heaviest job is to run rubber, and most people will do a mess when they start running rubber, such as crooked lanes, missing strips, and fancy messy things. In short, all kinds of unheard mistakes may appear in the first few times of running rubber, but the only ones that are not correct.

When Yang Rui was studying for his postgraduate study, running glue was a basic job in biological research, just like liquid gas chromatographs were basic configurations, and no student didn’t learn it. But in the 1980s, top universities went down and weaker departments, all famous universities did not have relevant technologies and equipment. Li Wenqiang and others didn’t know how to run glue before, so they practiced in Huarui Laboratory.

As the number of experiments increases, the film naturally becomes more and more beautiful, and the PCR reaction results gradually become reliable.

The background reaction disappears, the signals in the negative control disappear, and various unexplained strange phenomena gradually disappear...

In Yang Rui's opinion, running glue is similar to washing clothes and folding quilts. Both are technical jobs that can make perfect. Children who can fold quilts have to start with a mess for the first time. Children who can carry glue for the first time also have to start with a mess.

The difference is that you can learn to fold quilts anywhere, so the cost of running glue is a bit high.

In order to complete the experiment under the "Golden Standard" standards as soon as possible - this is the key to proving the feasibility of PCR to others - Li Wenqiang and Duan Bo are both actively working overtime at work.

Zhang Xuetong needed to provide more oligonucleotides and had to use the evening to improve the equipment.

The funds are spent like flowing water.

In just one week, Huarui Laboratory's account had an additional $30,000 in material fees, and lawyers spent more money.

Just based on accumulation, Yang Rui really worried.

Fortunately, the DNA synthesizer production company "Bio Research" gave them a free batch of accessories and materials, reducing the cost of the laboratory. The company is completing the improved DNA synthesizer based on the improvement suggestions put forward by Yang Rui, and there will be a refund after it is launched.

It’s just that the distant water cannot quench the near thirst.

Anxiety and research results are growing simultaneously, and Yang Rui also stayed in the laboratory over the weekend, hoping to advance the project as quickly as possible.

In the afternoon, an unexpected visitor appeared.

"Director Liu?" Yang Rui opened the door and was surprised. He is now in Huarui Laboratory, not the ion channel laboratory.

President Liu came on a bicycle, sweating profusely, then wiped his sleeves and smiled, "I'm here to see you, can I get in?"

"Oh, come in." Yang Rui hurriedly let Dean Liu into the yard, put his bicycle against the wall, and said, "There are few people in the laboratory, so we didn't have a special parking shed."

"It's pretty." President Liu looked at the large courtyard with a style of the courtyard, stood under the shade of the tree in the middle, and smiled: "Qiu Tiger is very hot, your laboratory is cool, it's so big, it's bigger than the school's laboratory?"

"The area covers an area similar to that of the school's laboratory, but there is no neighbor in front of you, so there is room for expansion in the future. An additional yard has been built next to you, and now it is used as a warehouse or something. I plan to apply to the district for a larger application after the New Year. It is best to build a few employee dormitories, and researchers are running around and wasting time." Yang Rui and Dean Liu were talking, speculating on his purpose.

"This is good, this is good..." Dean Liu nodded with a smile, looked towards the laboratory and asked, "Is the project you showed to Professor Cai here?"

"Oh, yes." Yang Rui didn't say much.

However, Dean Liu was not afraid of embarrassing people. He just pretended that he didn't see Yang Rui's coldness and continued: "Professor Cai took it to the meeting."

Yang Rui looked at him without hope and asked, "Has it been passed?"

"Professor Cai proposed two plans, but neither of them passed."

Yang Rui shrugged without surprise. Since Professor Cai did not agree to him in person, there was no big difference in attending the meeting. Of course, this is not to say that Professor Cai is unwilling to promote this matter, but to the driving force he is willing to give. He believes that the driving force that should be given is far from enough to promote Yang Rui's request.

Although Professor Cai can give Yang Rui a quota arbitrarily, this is not what he does.

President Liu waited for a few seconds to relieve Yang Rui's emotions and said, "Don't be upset. Let me tell you the truth. Time is too tight and I can't get a quota. The quota that others have finally won for abroad has their own jobs. Are you right?"

"I can understand, it was a reluctant request."

"It's best if you can understand." Dean Liu smiled, observing Yang Rui's expression, and said, "Your project is doing very well. At the meeting, not only Dean Cai, but everyone gave good reviews. We don't want you to lose opportunities in a project like this. If you want to publish a paper in Nature, we are willing to support it. But as the saying goes, you must be famous, and your project has basically no connection with our Peking University. You are a student of our Peking University, but if you don't sign it in the paper, our school can't force your calculations. Do you think?"

Dean Liu did not wait for Yang Rui to answer, and then said: "We also know that your project was supported by Huarui Company. What do you think? If you help us contact Huarui Company, we said that we are willing to pay one-third of the funding and ask for a signature."

Yang Rui raised his eyebrows: "This project has been completed, but it has cost nearly one million dollars."

President Liu's eyebrows also jumped and he laughed in an instant: "Where can there be so much millions of dollars? We estimate that if it is not considered an instrument, 600,000 dollars should be enough."

The 600,000 US dollars is estimated based on the funds Huarui Company can give Yang Rui and the time spent on the project, rather than the cost of the project itself.

If Yang Rui had gone from scratch, 600,000 US dollars would not be enough, but Huarui did not spend 600,000 US dollars for PCR.

Yang Rui said unquestionably: "There are more than 600,000 US dollars, but just based on the 600,000 US dollars, you will also get 200,000 US dollars. When will we be so rich?"

"This money can be paid to the school, and you have to let a first author come out."

Yang Rui suddenly realized that this was an academic transaction.

If you buy a "Nature" for $200,000, you will still use the country's money, so you will naturally not lose money.

In any university in China, any capable school leader is probably willing to pay the money.

Too cost-effective.

In fact, with the current domestic environment, it is not easy to write a "Nature" for $200,000.

It is also because Yang Rui has a good history and has the experience of publishing top journals that others are willing to take this risk.

For a moment, Yang Rui was moved. If it was a paper related to Coenzyme Q10 and filled out a contract, Yang Rui would definitely follow it. After all, technical papers like this will be included in the digital part of the results in the future. One more is the first author and one less is the first author. There is no impression.

However, this is not a related paper on Coenzyme Q10.

Yang Rui swept his head and said, "Director Liu, you don't have to say anything. I can't do this. This is not only a matter of signature, but also a matter of patents."

"The patent is simple." President Liu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "We will definitely not want your patent. Let's do this. I will write a statement to put a steel seal on the office, indicating that you don't want your patent. Is it OK?"

Yang Rui curled his lips and said in a distrustful tone: "What if the superior department does not recognize your statement?"

If it is a patent worth $300,000, Yang Rui would believe in the integrity of the superior department. If it is a patent worth $3 billion, Yang Rui would not want to have a relationship with the relevant department.

President Liu then further advised him, but he was not bad at all. He just wanted to score in one fell swoop, and felt that Yang Rui had no loss.

Yang Rui didn't want to listen again, but suddenly interrupted him and asked: "Where did he find the quota for the leader you mentioned?"

"What?"

Yang Rui also came up with inspiration and asked: "I mean, where did the quota he found for? I can't sign it to Peking University. Huarui Laboratory can't pass it, but I'm willing to pay privately to change another quota."

President Liu smiled: "This is not a matter of money. This is a quota for overseas travel, business passport, daily overseas travel subsidies, and the quota for this international conference. It's not that I said, no one can say anything that you spend, no matter how much you spend."

Yang Rui also smiled and said, "What you are talking about may be Chinese standards. If you go abroad, it should be international standards. Among the international standards, the rich are the best to use."

"What?"

"One for two." Yang Rui raised two fingers and said, "I can get two quotas for overseas travel. There is no quota for this international conference, but it can be an inspection in a company or university. If you can help me get the quota, I will give you another refrigerator ticket."

In 1984, families with better conditions in Beijing had TVs, but not necessarily refrigerators. Dean Liu didn’t need them himself, so it was great to give them away.

Dean Liu suddenly seemed hesitant.

"They can go abroad together for a walk." Yang Ruiyu was tempted. It would be great if he could handle this for several thousand dollars.

Finally, Dean Liu shook his head and said, "This one is not good. He will definitely not want to go abroad just by going abroad. That... the leader I am talking about is holding the project in his hand, so he will definitely get the quota. Otherwise, you can find a project from Huarui?"

"The project is not good." Yang Rui was a little disappointed. It was his own. The project funding is often tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of thousands of yuan, and the cost is too high.

"I think about it again." Dean Liu did want this refrigerator ticket, and thought for a long time, and said, "Look at this, I will introduce you to someone, and you can talk to him, and two places may be possible."

"Who is it?"

"I have been studying abroad and I have always wanted to go back. He doesn't go abroad to attend the meeting. However, if you want to give a report at the meeting, there is nothing you can do."

"I understand, take one step at a time." Yang Rui didn't expect that he would cause so much trouble when doing a project, but he couldn't continue.
Chapter completed!
