Chapter 605 Raging Waves

As early as in China, Yang Rui had thought about this speech. Although the English grammar is mediocre, his content is so detailed that it cannot be more detailed.

Yang Rui also thought about the future of the human genome project as his prediction in the fourth part.

First of all, the goal of his ion channel laboratory is to carry out the human genome project. Although it is still the planning stage and he has not revealed his ambitions to anyone, the work he has done is obvious.

Whether it is the paper on potassium ion channel or the current interacting proteins, they ultimately lead to the human genome project. At the level of 1984, he is no further away from the human genome project than others, and he is qualified to issue this prediction.

Secondly, Yang Rui has now reached the edge of genomics.

Although the so-called genomics is one more word than genomics, its meaning is very different.

Genomics, as an important part of the human genome project, will inevitably shine after the human genome project is officially launched.

Yang Rui prepared for this as early as when he entered Peking University.

Of course, at that time, Yang Rui was just counting on the fact that after the concept of genomics was officially established, his name would appear in the creator's explanation.

But now, he threw out the concept of genomics two years in advance. This is also Yang Rui's great progress in strength in the past year, and "CELL" gave him confidence.

In short, in the past ten months, all the research work that Yang Rui has done, except that Coenzyme Q10 is for making money, is closely related to the human genome plan.

On the one hand, this is something that Yang Rui intentionally did. On the other hand, the human genome project is also the strongest direction of biology development. It is not easy for Yang Rui to deliberately avoid it.

But for the scholars in the audience, Yang Rui's words were not only deafening, but also bold.

Scholars who come to listen to the speeches are at least those who are qualified to participate in the "International Genetic Conference". They are clear about various speeches and reports, which is even clearer than Yang Rui, who had only studied for graduate students.

So, listening to Yang Rui's speech and listening to him using the most space to describe the human genome project, all scholars know what Yang Rui wants to do!

In Chinese, Yang Rui is equivalent to "making a word for the saint". If the direction of the human genome project is really as he expected, it will take no time to say that Yang Rui's status will rise.

If the direction of the human genome project is different from what Yang Rui said, Yang Rui will definitely be criticized.

If the direction of the human genome project has nothing to do with what Yang Rui said, it would be difficult for Yang Rui to survive in the academic world in the future.

In the eyes of scholars, this is naturally a bold act.

Yang Rui felt that the prediction was simple and direct, and it was his sharp weapon, but scholars would not think so.

It is often not easy to guess the development of technology.

Especially the development of super-large projects, its own internal laws and trajectories are often disturbed by academics, which often deviates scholars' judgments on projects.

In a sense, guessing a super-large project like guessing may be more difficult than guessing the economic development.

For example, the developing "Apollo Moon Landing Plan" has a future, and how many people can guess it?

For American scholars in 1984, how many people think that the Apollo moon landing plan will come to an abrupt end?

The benefits of the Apollo moon landing plan are very clear, but its huge expenses are well known.

It is incorrect to say that the academic community cannot influence it. The continuous emergence of academic achievements is the driving force behind the Apollo moon landing plan, but it is incorrect to say that the academic community can decide the Apollo moon landing plan. In the final analysis, this is determined by changes in the political ecology, just like the Manhattan Project was born because of World War II.

The Soviet Union's relationship with the United States, as well as the ultimate development of the Soviet Union, had a greater impact on the future of the Apollo moon landing plan.

As a scholar, Yang Rui tried to predict the roadmap of the human genome project, predict genomics, predict precision medicine...

In everyone's eyes, this is almost a quest for death.

The Human Genome Project will cost billions of dollars at the beginning, but it will take hundreds or hundreds of billions of dollars to continue.

How can its development be predictable?

Of course, the development of human genomics may be inevitable, because the lobbying of lobbyists and the interweaving of interests of all parties will eventually lead to an almost inevitable conclusion, but it is too difficult to guess this conclusion.

But Yang Rui stood on the stage and tried to explain confidently that the invention of the PCR device will definitely determine the development of the human genome project.

Yang Rui did not lie. The invention of the PCR device is indeed a very strong driving force for the human genome project.

It's just that no one believes it now.

In the main hall, low-pitched discussions gradually arose.

The reporters gradually became excited.

They are not afraid of you being arrogant, they are afraid of having no topics!

As Yang Rui's speech approached, for a moment, more than a dozen reporters washed away their previous laziness, tightened their microphones, and were ready to rush forward at any time. The cameraman's spotlight also flashed brightly. At first glance, it seemed like a red carpet catwalk.

Yang Rui looked at the people below and became more confident, his expressions, movements and even grammar became more and more relaxed.

The first and second parts of his speech were for the scholars on the scene, and the rest were for verification and for the reporters to listen to.

To compete for the right to invent PCR, we need both the voices of the academic community and the voices of society.

Of course, Yang Rui hopes that he is worried about nothing and has no competition for invention rights, which is the best.

After a speech was almost finished in an hour, Yang Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as he completes this speech in public, he will not lose any effort before.

The development process of PCR is like the Heshi Bi in Chinese history. The expectations it received at the beginning of its creation are thousands of times different from the extent it finally reached.

It was like someone was preparing to design a chisel and invented a motor.

Yang Rui does not expect to gain world attention now, but it will be a matter of time sooner or later.

Moreover, with the urinary nature of the Nobel Committee, the longer he is suppressed, the deeper the compensation he receives.

The academic community is ultimately composed of people, and there is a tendency to queue up to eat fruits. However, the threshold for the Nobel Prize is too high, so that those who can queue up are just unlimited.

After Yang Rui's speech ended, he felt a little relaxed, but the scholars below couldn't feel relaxed, whispering one by one, and even talking loudly.

Before the host could come on stage, he stood up and shouted, "I have a problem."

Some people were unwilling to fall behind and shouted: "I have problems too."

The host sent by the organizer ran to the stage with a wry smile and said, "Please wait. We ask Mr. Yang to rest for a while before starting the questioning session."

It would be fine if he didn't say it, but after he said it, the people below simply started discussing it themselves.

One person said: "The concept of genomics has some intersection with Professor Kalias' paper some time ago."

Next to him, at least three people would refute his opinion, and their words were so fierce that they could name them.

The female reporter of the New York Pioneer, who was very interested in Yang Rui, looked at Yang Rui with concern, feeling that a young man like him might not be able to withstand such surging criticism.

Unexpectedly, Yang Rui's movements and expressions did not change much.

Instead, Yang Rui took advantage of the rest time to drink water while observing others.

He also considered the current situation.

No matter how you say it is a prophecy, and anyone can make a judgment on it before the prophecy is realized. Moreover, unlike criticism of a general nature, criticism will not be held much responsibility even if the prophecy is finally established.

No matter what, it is all prophecy! What's strange about scientific hypothesis being questioned?

From the audience's perspective, they really have too many reasons to ask Yang Rui - it's also because there are too many complaints.

Some people even worry that they can't ask questions. People always have vanity. Seeing so many long guns and short cannons, many of them are big media from New York. If Yang Rui could ask, he wouldn't he be famous.

Even on the Chinese delegation, there are scholars eager to try. In front of so many scholars and media, if Yang Rui’s question is defeated, he might be able to win a visiting professor from an American university and return to China in a few years. I still don’t know what level he will be able to achieve.

Team leader Zhang Hongjun also saw the danger. While complaining to Yang Rui in his heart, he persuaded everyone: "We Chinese should not beat Chinese people, pay attention to international influence..."

Professor Hu couldn't help laughing: "Yang Rui is looking for a fight himself. If we don't fight, there will always be someone to fight."

"In short, if the Chinese don't beat the Chinese, everyone should consider the country and the people when they go out." Zhang Hongjun was in a panic as the political commissar, and his eyes were still looking for Garnika, for fear that the American would be unhappy and gave up the purchase.
