Xueba's life simulator

Chapter 208 Spirit Realm Technology

The purpose of Jay Kisling's coming to China this time was mainly to cooperate with Zhou Ming, but he was disappointed when he left in the end, because Zhou Ming did not give a clear answer until he left. Reply, whether you want to cooperate with his team on the space synthetic biology project.

After all, the discussion above has not yet come to a conclusion, so it is naturally impossible for Zhou Ming to reply to Jay Kisling.

On the afternoon of the day when Jay Kisling left Huaguo University of Science and Technology, the discussion Zhou Ming had with the principal also started.

In this discussion meeting, Zhou Ming officially confirmed the cooperative relationship with several professors of HKUST, and the fields of cooperation are also very extensive. In addition to the field of biology, it also involves some research in the field of chemistry.

What Zhou Ming and Xue Tian said before, he also made it clear to Xue Tian this time.

The research that Zhou Ming wants Xue Tian to participate in is related to the virtual reality technology that will be launched in the future.

The virtual reality that Zhou Ming is talking about here is not just the kind of VR and AR, but what he has seen when using the life simulator before, which can be immersive and affect people's vision, hearing, smell, touch, etc. Sensory Virtual Reality.

In fact, Zhou Ming called it the "spiritual realm" technology more, just to let Xue Tian better understand the virtual reality technology he was talking about.

Xue Tian's research on photoreceptor neurobiology, including light signal transduction, neural circuits, and visual regeneration and restoration, is just related to vision.

Xue Tian was really shocked when he learned that Zhou Ming was going to cooperate with him on such an unimaginable research, which in his opinion was impossible to realize in this century.

"Are you sure about this matter?" Xue Tian looked at Zhou Ming with disbelieving eyes and asked Zhou Ming.

"There must be certainty, and I will not do things that I am not sure about. However, you can only know some of the research you are involved in, and there is no comment on other research.

And if you join, then you can't just tell others about the research, you need to sign a confidentiality agreement, and you can only publish it after passing our permission.

But of course, the treatment we give will not be bad. As for the various experimental items and experimental instruments needed for the experiment, we will definitely be able to prepare them all.

As I said last time, this will be a long-term project, and it may take at least two to thirty years to realize this technology. "

The old god Zhou Ming said to Xue Tian.

Seeing Zhou Ming's confident look, Xue Tian looked outside the door again. This conversation was between Zhou Ming and him alone, and there was no one else in the room.

As Xue Tian looked at the door, he was thinking about whether other professors who cooperated with Zhou Ming, or even directly joined Zhou Ming's team, were also engaged in research related to this.

After thinking about it, Xue Tian finally replied to Zhou Ming: "Okay, as long as you can do what you say, and you don't lack compensation and experiments, then I can cooperate with you."

Anyway, he won't lose anything by cooperating. At most, he will be busier than usual. The big deal is that he can let others do some of the current less important research. Several doctoral students and master students worked overtime.

If the big cake painted by Zhou Ming finally comes to fruition, then Xue Tian can be regarded as having contributed to this epoch-making project.

In Xue Tian's view, Zhou Ming's 30 years is definitely an exaggeration, but Xue Tian is only 39 years old this year, and even in another 30 years, he will only be 69 years old.

And not to mention 30 years, even 50 years, he is also 89 years old, and he has not yet reached the age of [-]. He will definitely strive to live until the day when this epoch-making technology comes out.

When answering Zhou Ming, Xue Tian thought so in his heart.

Xue Tian was thinking more than that at this time. He was also thinking about how he would flex his muscles after the cooperation, and how he would display his scientific research talents without worrying about funds.

However, what he didn't expect was that he would not need to do various scientific research attempts at all, and just follow the plan.

It’s as if you were ecstatic when you heard that someone was going to fund you wholeheartedly to do some research that you hadn’t been able to complete.

However, when you officially start receiving funding, you realize that someone has already thought of the complete realization process of the research you dreamed of completing, and all you have to do is to follow the experimental process that others have thought of step by step. Just complete the experiment, and at most deal with some minor troubles that will be encountered during the experiment.

Then, at this time, your heart must not be happy or sad, but mixed feelings, because even if you are the first author of the final result, you also know in your heart that although the experiment was completed under your leadership , but his real creator is not you.

However, although most people are actually doing research, they don't know how to go to the end to get the results they want.

Even if the results are obtained in the end, there must be many detours and wrong paths in the process.

Therefore, when most people see the complete experimental process of the research they want to complete, although they will have other emotions, they will definitely be surprised and excited in the end, and want to determine whether this method is really so perfect .

"I'll let people from the company get in touch with you about the treatment, salary, etc., and I will notify you of the specific start time of the research later."

Seeing that Xue Tian agreed to cooperate, Zhou Ming didn't say anything to him. Zhou Ming still had to communicate with other professors.

After communicating with the cooperating professors, Zhang Mingjie found Zhou Ming.

"You don't like the laboratory that Jay Kisling is going to set up here?" Zhang Mingjie said to Zhou Ming after he found him.

What Zhang Mingjie said to Zhou Ming refers to Huaguo, not Luzhou, let alone Huaguo University of Science and Technology.

Although Zhou Ming rejected the cooperation on the research of Chinese medicinal plants proposed by Jay Kisling, as Jay Kisling said, he had thought of coming to China to set up a laboratory to specialize in the research of Chinese medicinal plants The isolation and extraction of natural active molecules.

This time it was just ahead of time. Since Zhou Ming was unwilling to cooperate with him, he had to find someone else to cooperate with him. There are still quite a few organizations in China that want to cooperate with him.

After Jay Kisling's team left Luzhou, they went to Pengcheng, which is the city that has changed the most in China after the reform. It has changed from a small fishing village to a world-class city, and it is the only city in China. One of the four first-tier cities.

And the partner Jay Kisling was looking for was the Pengcheng Advanced Technology Research Institute of Huaguo Academy of Sciences, where his laboratory was also planned to be established.

"The future biotechnology company is also preparing to separate and extract the natural active molecules of Chinese medicinal plants, and use the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine to conduct research and development of new drugs."

Zhou Ming didn't answer Zhang Mingjie's words directly, but said something about his company.

But Zhang Mingjie knew what was waiting for Jay Kisling and the others after hearing Zhou Ming's words. Zhou Ming's words were more effective than any of his other words.

"Jay Kisling's laboratory was established originally to combine the existing accumulation of Pengcheng's advanced research team, through synthetic biology technology, to transform microorganisms and plant cells, and to produce active molecules of Chinese medicinal plants by biosynthesis. Woolen cloth.

If you intervene, I'm afraid their projects haven't started yet, and your results have already been produced.

However, does Huaguo Academy of Sciences know about this? "

Zhang Mingjie said to Zhou Ming, and finally asked a question.

"I have already told Dean Zhou Chunli about this matter in advance. It is Pengcheng's research institute who thinks that Jay Kisling is a pioneer in the industrialization of international synthetic biology. The advantages to them outweigh the disadvantages, so this cooperation will be negotiated."

Zhou Ming explained.

Zhou Chunli is the dean of the Huaguo Academy of Sciences. Since Zhou Ming and Zhou Chunli have said it, it means that the Pengcheng Advanced Technology Research Institute must know about it, and they must cooperate if they know about it. Zhang Mingjie doesn't know what to say. up.

"There are indeed some people in the academic circles in China who are more stubborn in their thinking, and they like to talk about the old and the young, and suppress the newcomers because of their age.

I guess some people must not understand that a young man like you has made so much limelight in the past year. The more they hear that your future biotechnology company is also going to do this, the more they want to cooperate with Jay Kisling Overtake you to show their presence.

Heh heh, these people can't get used to it, so they do better than you, such a small belly.

They hit the iron plate this time, I want to see how they regret it later. "

Zhang Mingjie said.

Apparently Zhang Mingjie is also relatively clear about some things in the domestic academic circle, so he said this.

"Academician Zhang, you are engaged in the research of structural biology, biochemistry and molecular biology. I happen to be short of experts in this field. Do you want to join in?"

Zhou Ming didn't talk to Zhang Mingjie about Jay Kisling and the others, but started to offer an olive branch to Zhang Mingjie again.

Upon hearing Zhou Ming's words, Zhang Mingjie said to him with a smile: "You have kidnapped many professors from us, right? You are emptying out the Department of Life Science and Medicine of our Huaguo University of Science and Technology Ah, even the dean of the School of Life Sciences was taken away by you.

Why, now even I, the honorary dean, are not spared? "

"You are right, what is abduction? Although some of them joined my team and some cooperated with me, they originally engaged in the integration of teaching and research at HKUST, and they did not leave behind teaching and scientific research!

And those who specialize in scientific research, also did not fall behind in scientific research, it's just that some professors' research directions have changed slightly. "

Zhou Ming showed a very aggrieved look, and finally brought out the higher-ups, "Besides, the higher-ups also supported me to expand the team."

Seeing that what Zhou Ming said was well-founded, Zhang Mingjie really didn't know what to say. He shook his head and said to Zhou Ming: "Anyway, as long as they join your team, they can provide help faster than when they didn't join and cooperate. Naturally, I will not object to this. Not only will I not object, but I will also raise my hands in favor of it.”

"You don't need to raise your hands." Zhou Ming interjected.

"Now that you've learned how to talk poorly, I'll just raise one hand and agree.

However, I can say that if the professors who join your team can't produce any results with you, then I will definitely object. "

Not only did Zhang Mingjie not feel bad about Zhou Ming's poor talk, but he also felt that it had brought the relationship between the two of them closer.

After all, chatting between friends is always about talking and laughing. If you just talk about serious scientific research topics all the time, it doesn't look like a conversation between friends.

"Don't worry about this, that's for sure. Whether my two teams are doing research on synthetic food or space synthetic biology, you can see the speed of the results.

so……"

In the end, did Zhou Ming not forget the invitation to Zhang Mingjie just now? But before Zhou Ming finished speaking, Zhang Mingjie understood what he meant.

"The professors who joined your team are all tight-lipped, and I don't know what they have learned from you, they are so secretive.

It's not impossible to let me join, but we have been together for a while, and you also know the content of my research. If you let me change the research direction, I'm afraid it will not be so easy.

And I have been studying in my field for so many years, if I change to other fields, then I will lose my role.

So, I want to know, since you want to invite me, what kind of research do you want me to do? "

Zhang Mingjie was also a little curious about Zhou Ming's research team, so he asked him.

"Of course, whether it's the professors who work with me or the professors who join my team, the research they do is not much different from their previous research fields.

For the research that you are invited to join, it is about the protein structure of nerves..."

Zhou Ming began to give Zhang Mingjie an overview of the research he was going to do after inviting him to join.

Many of Zhang Mingjie’s studies are related to the nervous system, such as the function and molecular mechanism of architectural proteins in the construction of nerve signal transduction complexes; the interaction of protein-protein and protein-phospholipids in the formation of nerve cell polarity, cell asymmetry Systematic and in-depth research on the role of division, vesicle transmission and fusion, nerve cell signal transduction and other important issues in neurobiology, as well as a series of pathogenesis of central and peripheral nervous system diseases caused by genetic mutations research etc.

Zhou Ming was also following his suit, and Zhang Mingjie became interested after hearing what Zhou Ming said.

"However, I'm currently working on a study on modulating neurogenesis with specific motor neurons during mitosis, which won't be done in the short term...at least this year.

So if I join, I may not have much time to participate in research in the short term. "

Zhang Mingjie said.

"That's fine."

Zhou Ming seemed very calm about this point, as if he knew that Zhang Mingjie would say that.

In fact, it’s not that Zhou Ming knew that Zhang Mingjie would say that, but he believes that as long as Academician Zhang joins his team, he will automatically spend most of his time here instead of the research he is talking about now. .
