Xueba's life simulator

Chapter 170 The Scientist's Workshop
Seeing that Li Mingzhi hurried over, he was asking about the Crafford Award, so Zhou Ming also said to him, "The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced it?"

After Zhou Ming asked Li Mingzhi this question, he continued without waiting for his answer: "Yes, what they said is true.

I got a call from them before I went to bed last night, and I said I was too busy to go over, and asked if they could send the bonus directly to my card, and I didn't go, and then they hung up .

At one or two o'clock in the middle of the night, they suddenly called me again and said that after their discussion, I could not go to receive the award on site and still receive the bonus, but they needed me to make a video call when I presented the award. "

"Did you really come up with it yourself? I thought they were trying to innovate." After hearing Zhou Ming's explanation, Li Mingzhi said with relief.

"What have you been up to lately? Why don't you even have time to participate in an award? Or the synthetic one? Didn't you find it much better?" After knowing the answer from Zhou Ming, Li Mingzhi began to ask Zhou Ming about other recent ones. things come.

Zhou Ming's research group has released the results of several artificial synthesis projects in recent months. This speed has really shocked people inside and outside the industry.

People outside the industry don't know the difficulties involved, but they also know that the speed at which results are produced is abnormal. People within the industry know the difficulties involved, and are even more shocked by this incident than people outside the industry.

"The previous ones were not completely artificially synthesized, and the artificially synthesized starch still needed to be accelerated by biological enzymes and ATP to provide energy.

The artificially synthesized glucose, artificially synthesized fatty acid, artificially synthesized speed, and artificially synthesized drugs that were developed later are not completely artificially synthesized, and they all require the use of fermenting microorganisms.

Therefore, I am going to study a method that can completely get rid of fermenting microorganisms and directly pass complete artificial synthesis. "

The relationship between Zhou Ming and Li Zhizhi was different from others, so he explained to him without any concealment.

Although Zhou Ming is actually right, he is indeed preparing to start experiments on completely artificially synthesizing glucose, fatty acids, pigments and drugs, but it is not fair to say that these experiments prevent him from taking time to attend an awards ceremony. As for.

This is just an excuse for Zhou Ming not wanting to go to Sweden. After all, he still spends his free time reading books in order to complete the task of the life simulator as soon as possible.

More importantly, Zhou Ming was not in the same situation as when he used the life simulator before.

However, Li Mingzhi didn't know this. After hearing what Zhou Ming said, he also nodded seriously, and said to Zhou Ming: "Although it is a good thing to be young and energetic, no matter what you do, you can't act too hastily, and you must Don't take your body seriously.

After all, the body is the capital of the revolution. If your body breaks down, then the loss outweighs the gain.

Although you are young, you also need to pay attention to your body and not be too tired. "

Li Mingzhi's research field does not involve biology, so he is not very clear about the difficulty of synthesizing glucose and fatty acids that he has just developed not long ago to further get rid of the dependence on fermentation microorganisms. Well, let’s talk about things in the field of biosynthesis.

However, Li Mingzhi knew that if Zhou Ming produced results so quickly, he must have forgotten to sleep and eat, and worked overtime, so he told Zhou Ming not to be too tired.

For example, if Zhou Ming really became sick from overwork and finally fell to work, it would be a huge loss to their University of Science and Technology, whether it is the School of Mathematical Sciences or the School of Life Sciences, and it can even be said to their entire Huaguo and the entire world It is an irreparable loss.

"I know the dean, I will pay attention, I sleep for eight hours almost every day." Zhou Ming replied with a smile to Li Mingzhi's words of concern.

"That's good, you are busy. I won't bother you." Li Mingzhi knew that Zhou Ming was busy, so he didn't plan to stay here any longer, and after talking to Zhou Ming for a while, he prepared to leave.

"That's right." Just when Li Mingzhi was about to leave, he thought of something again and said to Zhou Ming, "I guess there will be a lot of media wanting to interview you about your winning the Craford Award. You are also busy recently. Do you want to be interviewed by them?

If you don't have time to be interviewed by them, then when they come, I will keep them out for you and prevent them from disturbing you.

If you want to be interviewed, I will contact you. "

"If the official reporter from above wants to do an interview, let's just meet him, and forget about the others."

Seeing that Dean Li was so caring, Zhou Ming said, in the past, Zhou Ming was more interested in the interviews of these reporters, but after experiencing it a few times, there was no novelty, and Zhou Ming was not very interested in interviews with reporters.

After getting Zhou Ming's reply, Li Mingzhi left here.

Zhou Ming, on the other hand, continued to read his books.

Because of the news of the Crawford Award, after Li Mingzhi left, people contacted Zhou Ming one after another, but Zhou Ming dismissed them one by one.

On the contrary, an official reporter who had interviewed Zhou Ming contacted Zhou Ming through WeChat. They added a contact information after Zhou Ming was interviewed. This reporter contacted Zhou Ming because Zhou Ming won the Crawford Award and wanted to interview him. .

In the following time, Zhou Ming's research group also entered the experimental state, and the experiment of fully artificially synthesized glucose was also progressing rapidly.

The time of the experiment always passed quickly, and half of May passed quickly.

Because of the experiment, Zhou Ming's reading speed is not as fast as before.

Before going to bed at night on May 14th, Zhou Ming's book progress has only reached 34/50, and he is still [-] books away from completing the task. It is estimated that he should be able to complete the book task in June, and use the life simulator to simulate again .

However, when the days of doing experiments, reading books, and eating like this every day reached NO.15, a small episode ushered in.

This morning, after Zhou Ming finished teaching in the laboratory, he returned to his office to continue reading, but the door of his office was still open.

Boom, boom, boom.

Three knocks on the door pulled Zhou Ming back from the world in the book to the real world. He looked up and found three middle-aged men standing at the door of his office.

Among these three people, Zhou Ming knew two of them, and he had no impression of the other one and had never seen him before.

The two that Zhou Ming knew were Zhang Mingjie, the honorary dean of the School of Life Sciences, and Xue Tian, ​​the executive dean.

After seeing these two, Zhou Ming quickly stood up and walked towards them.

After knocking on the open office door, the three people at the door also walked in.

"This is Professor Zhou Mingzhou, who is a professor in both the School of Life Sciences and the School of Mathematical Sciences at our University of Science and Technology."

Xue Tian, ​​the executive dean of the School of Life Sciences, introduced Zhou Ming to the middle-aged man Zhou Ming didn't know, and then introduced this middle-aged man to Zhou Ming.

"This is Comrade Liu Zhigang from the Ministry of Science and Technology. He came here specifically to find you, Professor Zhou, about the scientist's studio." Xue Tian said to Zhou Ming.

While the group was talking, they found a place to sit in Zhou Ming's office.

"Hello, Professor Zhou, I have always heard that Professor Zhou is very young, and I have seen Professor Zhou on the news, but it was only when we actually met that I realized that Professor Zhou is much younger than on TV." Comrade Liu from the Ministry of Science and Technology smiled He stretched out his hand, shook hands with Zhou Ming and said.

"Hello, Comrade Liu." Zhou Ming also said hello to Liu Zhigang.

"Professor Zhou, Dean Xue also told you just now that my visit this time is about the scientist's studio.

Your Bai Province submitted a development plan to the above at the beginning of this month. In this plan, they are planning to build a technology city in Luzhou City, and they expect to develop this technology city within ten years. It has become the world's top biotechnology city mainly based on biotechnology and supplemented by computer technology such as artificial intelligence.

Hearing about this city of science and technology, Professor Zhou also participated in relevant discussion meetings in the province. "

As soon as Liu Zhigang opened his mouth, he told Zhou Ming about the plan submitted by Bai Province to the superiors about the plan to build a science and technology city in Luzhou.

"That's right, there is such a thing. But up to now, Bai Province and Luzhou City have not issued relevant notices. Is it because their application has not been approved?"

After hearing what Liu Zhigang said, Zhou Ming also asked him.

"The plans of Bai Province and Luzhou City this time are not only bold, but also require a lot of money to apply for loans. A few days before I came, there was no unified point of view." Liu Zhigang said.

"Then what do you mean, a unified point of view has been formed now?" After hearing what Liu Zhigang said, Zhou Ming knew what he meant.

"That's right, in the end it was the one who spoke and approved the project of Luzhou City, a city of science and technology, and also increased the financial support for Luzhou City from above.

There should be a relevant notice at the end of this month, and the above will designate a special science and technology development zone for Luzhou City.

It's not easy for me to tell ordinary people about such things, but you, Professor Zhou, are different.

This is what the person specifically told me to tell you. He said that he was surprised that you could complete the research you told him about last time so quickly, and he was very grateful to you.

If your research is lacking, just tell the higher-ups, and the higher-ups will try their best to satisfy you. "

Liu Zhigang said to Zhou Ming, Zhang Mingjie and Xue Tian, ​​who were listening silently, were also very surprised at the attitude of the superior to Zhou Ming, and also curious about what Zhou Ming talked about when they met and chatted alone last time.

However, they can figure it out when they think about it. Just think about what Zhou Ming has achieved since that meeting, and they will know what he said.

"Special Science and Technology Development Zone?" Zhou Ming was a little puzzled when he heard this word he had never heard before.

It can be seen from the name that this should be an area that implements special policies for the development of science and technology, just like the special economic zone, but what kind of policy it is cannot be heard from the name.

"I'm not very clear about the specific policies of the Special Science and Technology Development Zone, anyway, the higher authorities attach great importance to it, and you will know the specific policies when it comes out at the end of this month.

Let's go back to the topic just now, talk about the scientist's studio. "

After Liu Zhigang finished speaking, he began to tell Zhou Ming about the scientist's studio.

It turns out that the scientist studio he is talking about was proposed by the Ministry of Science and Technology of Huaguo in the "National Medium- and Long-term Science and Technology Talent Development Plan (2010-2020)". In the next 10 years, Huaguo will focus on building 100 A scientist studio with world-class research level centered on outstanding scientists and their research teams.

However, the outstanding talent mentioned here is not an adjective, but refers to the outstanding talents in Huaguo's "Ten Thousand Talents Plan".

Zhou Ming still remembers that one of the three conditions for the University of Science and Technology to recruit the best-paid "leading talents" is the outstanding talents of the "Ten Thousand Talents Program".

The national "Ten Thousand Talents Program" system is composed of three levels, namely outstanding talents, leading talents, and top young talents.

"But I'm not an outstanding talent in the 'Ten Thousand Talents Project'?"

After Liu Zhigang briefly explained the affairs of the scientist's studio, Zhou Ming said.

"No, you already are. When the higher authorities prepare to build a scientist studio for you, you will already be. You can ask Academician Zhang and Dean Xue."

Liu Zhigang smiled after hearing what Zhou Ming said.

Before Zhou Ming, he had to apply himself to participate in such things as Youqing and Jieqing.

However, he has fully demonstrated his strength now, so even if he doesn't apply for these things, the school will take the initiative to help him apply, and the country will automatically grant them.

It's the same as the saying "No one asks you if you are poor in the busy city, and you have distant relatives in the mountains if you are rich". When your strength reaches a certain level, you don't need to fight for many things, and they will run to you by themselves.

On the contrary, if your strength is not good, even if you fight under normal circumstances, you can't fight for anything.

"The scientist's studio implements an internationally accepted scientific research management system. This time, the above is planning to build a scientist's studio for Professor Zhou in Luzhou this time. Professor Zhou, you are the chief scientist of this studio.

Professor Zhou can adopt self-organized teams, self-management, free exploration, self-discipline, etc. to conduct scientific research with originality and outstanding international influence, and to enhance the international influence of our Chinese scientists.

I heard that Professor Zhou is still doing research on artificial synthesis?The above will provide special funds for the scientist's studio as a guarantee. If you are short of money, you can apply directly, and the account will be received quickly. "Liu Zhigang said to Zhou Ming again.

The chief scientist mentioned by Liu Zhigang is a system name, the full name is the chief scientist system, which is a scientific and technological management model in which the chief scientist is fully responsible.

The chief scientist system is a relatively advanced scientific management model in the world. In addition to setting up chief scientists during project implementation, some countries also have chief scientific advisors or chief scientists in some government ministries and commissions.

During the implementation of the project, the chief scientist has the right to make decisions according to the needs of the research work, and will also be granted the right to manage research funding and personnel selection.

Huaguo's first chief scientist plan system began with the "863 Plan", also known as the high-tech research and development plan. On March 863, 1986, four academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences jointly "signed a letter" to the Central Committee and proposed the "About Follow up the world's strategic high-tech development" proposal.

In October of the same year, the central government also decided to allocate 10 billion yuan of special funds to support Huaguo's high-tech research and development plan before 2000.

The "863" plan was organized and implemented nationwide in February 1987.

After that, there were many projects such as 973 and 948.

"Although I am not short of funds for the time being, the artificial synthesis project is a long-term project. With the funding guarantee of this scientist's studio, I don't have to worry about what to do when the funds run out." Zhou Ming said.

"It seems that Professor Zhou accepted it? Then at the "Ten Thousand Talents Program" outstanding talent symposium held in the capital on May 5, we will award the "Ten Thousand Talents Program" scientist studio. Do you have time to participate?" Liu Zhigang asked Zhou Ming again.
