Chapter 68 About New Projects

After agreeing on the time and place, the two stopped chatting.

The next day, after the first and second classes in the morning of biological separation engineering, Zhou Ming and Shen Qingqiu briefly explained the situation, then separated from her and went to Yi Huaqing's office.

Coming to Yi Huaqing's office, Zhou Ming found a chair and sat down.

"Come, drink water, the tea is already brewed." Yi Huaqing was very enthusiastic towards Zhou Ming, even the tea had already been brewed.

"Ms. Yi, let's talk about this completed project first. Apply for the patent as soon as possible, and finish the thesis as soon as possible. This project is enough for you to write several papers, although it may not be able to be admitted to Muture. , cell and other top journals, but the general first section should be okay." Zhou Ming went straight to the topic when he came up, without any wordy words.

Seeing that Zhou Ming came straight to the topic without any twists and turns, Yi Huaqing also liked Zhou Ming's style of handling things very much.

The two first chatted for a while about the company's first project. There is no doubt that the patent belongs to the company, but the first author and corresponding author of the paper are about to chat.

After talking about this, they talked about the upcoming second project.

Zhou Ming's research project this time is related to the research on the synthesis of microbes by cyanobacteria in water blooms.

What is algae bloom?
Algal blooms generally occur in rivers and rivers, and are called "red tides" in the ocean. It refers to a phenomenon that occurs directly or indirectly with the sudden proliferation of plankton.

There are many types of plankton that constitute algal blooms, but flagellates and diatoms are mostly dominant species in the ocean, and cyanobacteria are dominant in fresh water.

Cyanobacteria are algae, also known as blue-green algae.

Under the conditions of high pH value of water body, strong light intensity and long time, cyanobacteria form air pockets to surface and reproduce rapidly, so as to form the phenomenon of cyanobacteria bloom.

Algae blooms are very harmful.

In 07, the Taihu lake cyanobacteria pollution drinking water source incident that shocked China and foreign countries caused 70% of the tap water in wx city to be polluted, and the domestic water of 200 million people was affected, causing serious social impact.

After that outbreak, the state began to treat Taihu Lake specifically, and it has not recovered until now.

What Zhou Ming said this time about the "synthetic microorganisms of cyanobacteria blooms" is to treat water pollution such as cyanobacteria blooms.

……

Zhou Ming gave Yi Huaqing a rough explanation of his project and its prospects.

Regarding this study, even without Zhou Ming's explanation, Yi Huaqing knew its significance.

After listening to Zhou Ming's words, Yi Huaqing also became clearer that if this project succeeds, its significance will be even greater than the previous one.

"This project is enough to apply for a national key research and development project, so that our research and development funds can be applied to the higher authorities..." Yi Huaqing began to tell Zhou Ming about the "National Key Research and Development Program".

"National key research and development plan? What is that?" Zhou Ming asked Yi Huaqing, not knowing that there was a whole project on it.

According to the report of Flower Society on January 1 this year, the national key research and development plan is composed of the original national key basic research and development plan, national high-tech research and development plan, national science and technology support plan, international scientific and technological cooperation and exchange special project, industrial technology research and development Funds and public welfare industry scientific research projects were integrated in 7.

This project was only launched last year. The original plan was to go through a three-year reform transition period before it will fully operate in accordance with the plan after optimization and integration.

"Can we apply?" Zhou Ming asked a little unreliably after listening to Yi Huaqing's introduction. He said that the plan still had a three-year reform transition period, and the transition period was not over yet. Small company, there are no well-known talents in the industry in the project, can you apply?

Facing Zhou Ming's question, Yi Huaqing was a little unclear, so he had no choice but to reply to Zhou Ming: "It should be possible. I've only paid a little attention to this project. I'll search it."

After speaking, Yi Huaqing began to search for information about national key research and development projects.

Soon, the search will have results.

"In order to promote the implementation of the national key research and development plan, the Ministry of Science and Technology and relevant departments have reached a consensus in principle after many communications and consultations. Six key special projects of translational research are being piloted. This is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology..."

Among the six key projects to be piloted, the project that Zhou Ming is going to do belongs to water pollution control, which does not seem to be one of them.

"Okay. With the time for application and approval, we can almost produce results.

Moreover, even if our project is suitable, it may be difficult to apply with our strength.That should wait until we have some experimental results first, and then apply when we do the following research projects.

With results, our application will have a higher pass rate and approval will be faster. "Zhou Ming said this to give Yi Huaqing a step down, so as not to embarrass him too much.

Fortunately, Zhou Ming asked, otherwise they would rush to apply later and find out that they can't apply for this project yet, which would be a waste of time.

Later, after reviewing the agreement with Yi Huaqing, Zhou Ming introduced to Yi Huaqing the specific background of this project, several development stages to be carried out, some technical bottlenecks that may be faced, and many other things.

The first is to establish a freshwater cyanophage library, and then realize the genetic manipulation of blooming cyanobacteria and the rescue of cyanophages. The ultimate goal is to realize the artificial synthesis of cyanophages.

"By the way, this project will require a lot of manpower. You shouldn't have enough people, right? You can't complete this project in a short time with just your manpower. You need to recruit a few more people.

Although you can recruit more people, don't be afraid of too many people. There will only be more and more research projects in the future. I'm only afraid of fewer people, not too many people.However, don't eat plain rice. "Zhou Ming reminded Yi Huaqing when he asked Yi Huaqing to recruit more staff.

"If you are not familiar with this aspect, you can ask me, or you can invite other teachers from the school to participate in this project. In the future, the cake on the plate will only get bigger and bigger, and there are so many people who can't eat it." Zhou Ming added Added, just like an old expert.

When Zhou Ming said that Yi Huaqing could ask him about something he was not familiar with, Yi Huaqing glanced at Zhou Ming. He didn't doubt the authenticity of Zhou Ming's words, he was just curious.

Why did this student, who had never been exposed before, suddenly understand so much?

First mathematics, then cell culture methods, biofilms, plant molecules, and now synthetic biology.

What kind of brain does a person have to acquire so much knowledge in such a short period of time?

Could it be that Zhou Ming knew this before, but he didn't show it?

Yi Huaqing guessed in his heart that in the end he could only use "genius" to explain Zhou Ming's changes in the past six months.

Afterwards, the two continued to chat for a long time. By the time Zhou Ming left Yi Huaqing's office, it was already past one noon.

Zhou Ming hadn't eaten lunch yet, and Yi Huaqing could tell that Zhou Ming was hungry, so he went to the cafeteria to have lunch with him.
