Xueba's life simulator

Chapter 252
"Professor Zhou, this Institute of Life Sciences here in Luzhou should be the largest biosafety experiment base in Huaguo right now? At least it occupies the largest area?"

After Zhou Chunli and Minister Wang finished checking the "variant" of the ancient virus and left the P4 laboratory, Zhou Chunli asked Zhou Ming.

"I don't know about it, and I haven't understood it, maybe it is." Zhou Ming said.

Just as a few people were saying this while walking towards the biological office building, they happened to see an old man walking towards them.

"Professor Shi? Why are you here?" After seeing the old man, Zhou Chunli also said to the old man with a look of surprise.

This old man is the first dean of the School of Life Sciences of Huaguo University of Science and Technology, and he is already a member of the Huaguo Academy of Sciences.

"Professor Shi is now studying the content of gene expression regulation, especially the structural biological basis, molecular mechanism and functional significance of epigenetic regulation, which coincides with our research on the genes and 'evolution' of ancient virus 'variants' The R&D has something to do with it, so I asked Professor Shi to help.

And even if there is no such ancient virus incident, Professor Shi has been conducting research projects in our research institute before. We and Professor Shi discussed the phase separation and phase transition of intracellular biomacromolecular condensates and the aspects mentioned above. Collaborated with research on the relationship between aging and human disease. "

Zhou Ming and Zhou Chunli explained that he has more than one or two academician-level figures in the Institute of Life Sciences, and Shi Wenyu is just one of them.

"Oh...so that's the case." Hearing Zhou Ming's explanation, Zhou Chunli nodded and joked to Zhou Ming, "I heard that you almost hollowed out the Faculty of Life Sciences of Huaguo University of Science and Technology. , Now I see that Professor Shi has been poached by you, it seems that this rumor is true."

"We are all in a cooperative relationship. There is nothing we can't dig. Our cooperation with those professors is good for them as well as for us. It can be said to be the best of both worlds." Zhou Ming defended himself.

At noon that day, Zhou Ming took Zhou Chunli and Minister Wang to lunch again, and then the two left Luzhou and returned to the capital.

And when Zhou Ming returned to school in the afternoon, Zhang Mingjie, Li Mingzhi, and Zhou Ming's doctoral student Liu Haowen all ran towards him.

"You have been to the North Pole for more than half a month, and you don't know what happened.

I still want to talk about receiving the award this time. There is still more than a week before the No.15 Shiing-shen Chern Mathematics Award will be awarded. Now you have returned from the North Pole, and you have time to receive an award. ?
Give me a message earlier, so I can tell the other side earlier, so that they can also make preparations in advance. "

The first person to find Zhou Ming was Li Mingzhi from the School of Mathematical Sciences. He came to Zhou Ming this time mainly to talk about the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award.

"What does the Chern Mathematics Award Committee say about the bonus? If I don't go to accept the award, can I still get the 10 yuan bonus?" Zhou Ming asked.

"Okay, of course, you don't go to the scene to accept the awards for many foreign awards, don't they also let you accept the awards through the webcast, and send you the prize money?
If our country does not pay bonuses because of this matter, it would seem too petty. "

Facing Zhou Ming's question, Li Mingzhi said that the awards he mentioned were of course the Crawford Award, not the Scientific Breakthrough Award, which is known as the "Oscar of Science", which is too commercially charged.

Speaking of the Breakthrough Award, since Zhou Ming said that he could not go to the scene to accept the award for the same reason as he rejected other awards before, and was finally disqualified by the Breakthrough Award, the Breakthrough Award has become popular in the academic world. Nei's already mediocre reputation has also become worse.

The current Science Breakthrough Award, the people who win the award and go to receive the award are also aiming at the prize money of up to 300 million US dollars. No idea.

"Well... that's it, then let me think about it." After speaking, Zhou Ming fell into deep thought.

"There is still more than a week before the Shiingshen Chern Mathematics Prize is awarded. At this time, the official start of research and development on 'Evolution' should take some time. If I am not in the capital at that time, I can take the time to go there.

Anyway, it’s also domestic, take a plane, go there on the same day and return on the same day. "

Thinking of this, Zhou Ming confirmed his thoughts, and said to Li Mingzhi: "It still depends on the situation. Although I have returned from the North Pole now, I may go to the capital for a meeting later.

But I don't know exactly when to meet with the capital. I won't know until the decision is made there.

If I'm free at that time, I'll go there, if not, then I really have nothing to do.

If I'm not free this time, then I'm really not free, it's not what I said before. "

At the end, Zhou Ming did not forget to add one sentence.

"Go to the capital? That's fine, I'll just tell the people on the Shiingshen Chern Mathematics Award Committee. By the way, can you talk about this? It's about you going to the capital for a meeting? If you can't, I'll just do it for you Find another reason."

After listening to Zhou Ming, Li Mingzhi said.

"It's okay, just tell me, this matter isn't too confidential," Zhou Ming said.

Anyway, if the higher-ups agree to his request later, even if it will not be made public at that time, it will definitely not be hidden because a large number of talents in biological-related fields need to be mobilized, and this kind of thing is not military research. There is no need to hide it.

And if Zhou Ming's request was not agreed to later, then the future biotechnology company will also have to recruit many talents in this field, and it is also impossible to hide it.

Therefore, Zhou Ming said that this matter is not too confidential.

The reason why Zhou Ming didn't tell Li Zhizhi before was because he hadn't even gone to the North Pole at that time, and the "variant" of the ancient virus hadn't been dug out, so I really can't say too much.

However, it is different now. Now that the "variant" of the ancient virus has been obtained, Zhou Ming also shared some research ideas about "evolution" with the above. If he talks about this with Li Mingzhi now, there is no problem.

Seeing Li Mingzhi's strange expression, Zhou Ming also knew why he showed such an expression. After all, he said it was confidential last month, but now he said it was not too confidential. This is obviously a bit contradictory.

Therefore, Zhou Ming also began to explain to Li Mingzhi: "It's like this. I dug up a special ancient virus when I went to the North Pole this time. The research on gene medicine is probably such a thing.

It's just because the gene drug I want to study has some special functions and relatively large requirements, so I need to hold a meeting to discuss it. "

Because Li Mingzhi studies mathematics, he would definitely not be able to understand too much biological knowledge, so Zhou Ming didn't tell him so many special professional content, but talked about it in general.

After hearing Zhou Ming finished speaking, Li Mingzhi showed his original expression and nodded.

"You don't need to explain it to me, I don't know much about biology, if Zhang Mingjie is here, you can explain it to him in more detail.

Alright, I won't bother you anymore, I will truthfully tell the Shiing-shen Chern Mathematics Award Committee when the time comes. "

Although Li Mingzhi was really curious about this matter before, after Zhou Ming finished speaking, he still said something bluntly so that Zhou Ming didn't have to explain to him.

Soon, Li Mingzhi left Zhou Ming's office.

Not long after Li Mingzhi left, Liu Haowen, Zhou Ming's doctoral student, also came to Zhou Ming's office in the School of Life Sciences.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Liu Haowen, who had already completed his doctoral thesis, came to his office to look for him, Zhou Ming also asked him curiously.

After all, the doctoral dissertation has been completed, and Liu Haowen has no new research direction now, so naturally he will not come to Zhou Ming because of some mathematics.

Zhou Ming also couldn't think of the reason why this student who was usually quiet in other aspects except mathematics came to him not long after he returned to school.

"Hello, teacher." As soon as he walked into the office, Liu Haowen greeted Zhou Ming the first time he saw Zhou Ming.

And after Zhou Ming asked Liu Haowen about his purpose of coming here, he also said to Zhou Ming: "Teacher, the "Mathematics Yearbook" has announced to the outside world last month that Zhou's conjecture has been officially solved. My The paper on the proof of Zhou's conjecture is now also recognized by the mathematics community.

I wanted to come to you last month, but you were not there.

Now as soon as I heard that you have returned to school, I came here immediately. I came this time to treat you to a meal. Thank you for your many revisions to my graduation thesis. Your patience in answering some of the questions I had. "

Liu Haowen said to Zhou Ming.

After Liu Haowen finished speaking, Zhou Ming smiled.

"I thought what was going on, it turned out to be eating, that's fine. But I may not have time, when?"

Zhou Ming also knew that Liu Haowen was sincere, and he didn't want to reject Liu Haowen's kindness, so he told him.

"I don't have much money, and I can't invite teachers to have a big meal in a big restaurant. I heard that the local restaurant near the school where you invited them to eat tasted pretty good.

And you also said that when you first came here, Dean Li invited you to dinner for the first time. How about I invite you to eat there?
Because it is a local restaurant, there is no need to make an appointment too early. Teacher, if you have time tonight, then I will invite you to eat tonight? "

Liu Haowen said to Zhou Ming.

"Tonight?" Zhou Ming was taken aback when Liu Haowen said it was tonight.

Because he just returned to Luzhou yesterday, but he hasn't even had a meal at home until now.

Last night, he ate in the restaurant with Zhou Chunli and Minister Wang, but this morning, he bought breakfast outside.

And at noon today, he still ate outside with Zhou Chunli and Minister Wang.

This evening, he will have dinner with Liu Haowen again, so he will really not be at home for the next two days except sleeping at home.

Seeing that Zhou Ming was taken aback, Liu Haowen also felt that Zhou Ming might not have time today, so he quickly said to Zhou Ming, "It doesn't matter if the teacher doesn't have time today, anyway, I have finished my graduation thesis, and I won't be as busy as before. I can do it any time later." of."

"Oh, it's okay, I have time."

Zhou Ming said.

After dealing with Liu Haowen's matter, Zhang Mingjie also came to Zhou Ming's office soon.

"You guys have an appointment today, right?" Seeing that Liu Haowen had just left his office, Zhang Mingjie came over again, Zhou Ming also complained.

"I don't know if the two of them made an appointment, but at least I didn't make an appointment with them. In fact, I wanted to find you when you returned to the office.

But when I was about to go to your office, I happened to see Dean Li walking into your office, so I didn't go.

I originally thought that I would come to you after Dean Li left, but I didn't expect that your doctoral student Liu Haowen would also go to your office to look for you, so I delayed until now. "

Zhang Mingjie explained to Zhou Ming with a smile.

"Do you know Liu Haowen?" Zhou Ming felt a little strange when Zhang Mingjie said Liu Haowen's name.

After all, Liu Haowen is from the School of Mathematical Sciences. It would be fair to say that Li Mingzhi knew him. After all, Li Zhizhi is the dean of the School of Mathematical Sciences, and Liu Haowen was recommended to him by Li Mingzhi.

However, as the dean of the School of Life Sciences, Zhang Mingjie knew Liu Haowen, a doctoral student in the School of Mathematical Sciences, which is a bit unreasonable.

However, even though he felt a little strange asking this question, Zhou Ming quickly thought of the reason. He thought it might be because Liu Haowen's solution to Zhou's conjecture was reported, and Zhang Mingjie happened to see the video reporting Liu Haowen.

"A few days after you went to the North Pole, you, a student, came to look for you with Dean Li, but they couldn't find you, so Dean Li brought Liu Haowen together to ask me what you were doing, and I That’s how I got to know him.”

Zhang Mingjie explained to Zhou Ming.

After hearing what Zhang Mingjie had said, Zhou Ming nodded, and then asked him, "Then what are you looking for me for?"

"What else could it be because of the 'variant' of the ancient virus that you brought back to the institute from the Arctic? It was the Luzhou Institute of Life Sciences that you dragged me into. Now there is such a big incident in the institute. Can I not know?
As early as the day you returned to Luzhou, rumors about this 'mutation' almost spread in the institute.But don't worry, this matter has been spread in the institute, but it has not been spread. "

Zhang Mingjie explained to Zhou Ming.
