I reach the pinnacle of life by learning

Under the leadership of Qiao Yu, the laboratory has always been vigorous and resolute.

In less than 6 days, under the sleepless nights of Wang Xiaoming and Li Hua, the 144-page application was completed.

When he came to hand in his homework, Li Hua described him as haggard, which surprised Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu: "Are you...?"

Li Hua puffed up his chest: "Fortunately, I only slept for 4 hours in three days. I'm young and I can still hold on."

Although half of the 144 pages are quoted materials, at least the remaining 72 pages are all the painstaking efforts of Wang Xiaoming and Li Hua.

Qiao Yu highly appreciated the work of the two, and spent a week revising it, and finally submitted the new project proposal.

He feels that this project report is already very informative.

But it was Qiao Yu's first time to apply for such a project with over [-] million yuan, so he didn't know what to do.

A direct asking price of 10 billion is also a room for bargaining.

Qiao Yu thinks that as long as the final approved money is in the range of 6-8 million, it is not unacceptable.

If scientific research funding is used as the standard, scholars at all levels are divided into categories.

The top level belongs to the billion circle.Nobel Prize-winning scholars and several tenured professors invited by Cold Spring Harbor are all within this range.After working for ten years, it is not a problem to burn billions.There are also a lot of companies that take money to burn them.

The next point is Director X of World XX Center, Lifetime Honorary Professor of X University, winner of XX Award, and belongs to [-] million circles.

Using money as a unit, "[-] million" is the key point to divide the average and top scholars.

Of course, the money here refers to US dollars.

Don't look at sometimes, the economic development of a small county will cost billions.But the difference is that the development of a small county can help the population of several 10 people in the entire county, and it will take ten or a hundred years...

Granting one billion to a laboratory with less than 50 people undoubtedly requires a very heavy trust.

In the second week after the application was submitted, Qiao Yu was notified.

It is said that the Chinese Academy of Sciences will send a research team to the genetic laboratory of Yanda University.

Qiao Yu understands that this means that his application has been received, and there is a certain possibility of passing it.

He sent this matter to the work group.

"I don't know when the inspection team will arrive. Pay attention to your appearance in the past few days."

Everyone is tired of doing experiments.

It’s not like there are some sloppy graduate students who don’t take a bath for ten days and a half months, it’s not like they don’t… Anyway, people are covered in protective clothing, masks, gloves and protective hats are neatly worn. Not afraid of bacterial contamination.

It doesn't matter to my own people, but if there are seniors in the inspection team who are more clean, and therefore deduct points for the laboratory, it will be bad.

……

……

Qiao Yu woke up in the morning and looked in the mirror with a serious face.

Although Qiao Yu is often expressionless, after getting along for so long, Song Tianyu has been able to guess the other party's mood from the subtleties.

Song Tianyu's voice came from behind: "What are you thinking about?"

"I was wondering," Qiao Yu touched his chin, "whether I should put on a fake beard to make myself look more mature."

In academia, there is a certain truth in getting older and more popular.

Youth is an advantage most of the time.

But it also means lack of experience and insufficient experience.

The average age of the genetic laboratory is less than 30, which is a very young team in the field of biopharmaceutical research.

Song Tianyu hugged him and sucked it like a cat: "No, ugly."

Qiao Yu thought for a while, and replied, "Yes."

As she grew older, Qiao Yu's appearance score in the system stopped gradually increasing, and stabilized in her current appearance.

If you stick a beard again, you can probably deduct a few points directly.

Although for a scientist, it doesn't matter what he looks like.

But Qiao Yu is a Virgo, so she still hopes to be perfect in all aspects.

After breakfast, Qiao Yu suddenly sighed heavily.

Song Tianyu suddenly became nervous: "Qiao Qiao, what's wrong?"

It is impossible for Qiao to tell Song Tianyu that he is short of money.

Although the Song family did not suddenly go bankrupt like in the previous life, one billion has completely exceeded the upper limit of Song Tianyu's economic capacity.

Although the other party would definitely try to ask for money for him...but Qiao Yu didn't want to do that.

That afternoon, Qiao Yu was doing experiments when the genetic laboratory phone rang.

Director Wu Gang's hasty voice came from the phone: "Here we come, we come!"

The entire genetic laboratory was immediately on standby.Although the experiment was still done, the nerves became tense.

This is a big issue related to whether to wear two or one acrylic gloves in the future, and it must not be ignored.

Half an hour later, Director Wu walked into the genetic laboratory with a group of elderly people with an average age of 60.

"This is Chen Anxiang, member of the Biology Group of the Academic Committee of the Ministry of Science and Technology."

"This is Academician Hu Kaiping, director of the Institute of DNA Molecules, Chinese Academy of Sciences."

……

A long list of titles were reported, and none of them was an academician!

The leader, Academician Chen, smiled and said, "Don't be too nervous, we're just going to take a look. Ask a few questions by the way."

The academicians have different tempers, and they scattered around without waiting for anyone to greet them.

Qiao Yu is not worried that these old people will leak the secrets of the laboratory. Most of the academicians who entered the central government have already stayed away from the front line of scientific research, and they don't even bother to steal things from the juniors.

An old academician walked up to Yu Hanxi and asked with a smile, "Are you back?"

Yu Hanxi didn't know him before, so he looked at him in surprise, and then replied: "Yes, but I still have to leave in nine months."

The old academician: "Oh."

He didn't want to say a word, turned around and left.

It made Yu Hanxi very inexplicable.

Qiao Yu almost took out what he had learned all his life this afternoon.

His lips were cracked from talking too much.

Li Hua brought him a bottle of water with some distress.

The angles of these old academicians' questions are very tricky, but they hit the nail on the head.Obviously, before coming here, he had carefully studied Qiao Yu's project book.

The nine seniors sometimes frowned and sometimes nodded, but none of them gave a letter of approval.

Until the sun went down, Academician Chen waved and said to the others: "Okay, it's time to go home for dinner."

Director Wu, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed over immediately, and said with a flattering smile: "Mr. Chen, I booked a private room in the nearby Weiming Building. The old principal said that when you were teaching at Yanda University, you liked Weiming the most. Lou's three fresh buns..."

Old Chen glanced at him: "It's expensive, isn't it?"

Wu Gang quickly said: "Not expensive, not expensive."

On average, it costs 500 yuan per person.

"When I was young, I liked to compare treatment, and Professor Li next door could pick me up by bus, so I must apply for public funds to eat and drink. But now that I am old, I can't eat greasy food." Chen Lao waved his hand and said in a full voice, "No, save money." Give some money to students, labs, whatever. Don’t waste it on me.”

It is legal to eat and drink with public funds here.

At the beginning, Mr. Chen's laboratory produced genetically modified soybeans, and he was asked what reward he wanted.

Mr. Chen said that he wanted to eat three delicacies every day.

At that time, it was still in 82, and the three delicacies package in Weiminglou required 2 food stamps.

Zhao Heping sat in the center, listening to the debates on the left and right sides of the round table.

"One billion, that's too much. How can we use us as a money printing machine? And didn't we just approve 3000 million three months ago, how could it be spent so quickly? This kind of trend is bad, have you checked the accounts?"

The old man who spoke is very aware of the efficiency of domestic laboratories. A large-scale project can be in the preparation period for a year.

It is really that the speed of the genetic laboratory is too fast, which makes people suspicious.

"It can be delivered to us, which means that the academic committee has reviewed it once. It proves the feasibility of the academic aspect... I think this targeted drug," Wang Xuebu spoke very slowly, hesitating, which is anxious, "If it can It’s a good thing to do it.”

"Come on, half of the committee members are from Yanda University, and their elbows are still crooked."

A faculty member who also graduated from Yanda stared with dissatisfaction: "You are a nuclear physics student, and you still doubt the professionalism of other people's biology? You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately."

"In my opinion, since the committee has passed it, we have nothing to worry about. Other papers are published quite well."

"It's not that I doubt professionalism. It's whether the project is feasible and how much investment will be made in the future. This is the money of the country and the taxpayers. If it is my own money, I blink and agree. Anyway Half of the body is buried in the ground, and if you don’t bring money, you won’t take it with you! One billion yuan can build a five-kilometer high-speed rail.”

On the first day, as usual, there was no result.

Zhao Heping picked up his briefcase and was about to go home. Halfway through the walk, his leg turned back again.

He was escorted by the guards to the leader's office.

Zhao Heping has the experience of giving lectures to several elderly people, so he is no stranger to this place.

It's just that every time I visit, I am still shocked by this solemn and solemn atmosphere.

"Elder Zhao, why are you here?"

The old man looked very happy to see him.

Zhao Heping: "It's a small matter, I can't make up my mind..."

"The little things you said are definitely not small."

Zhao Heping briefly explained the matter, and finally said: "The projects we have approved range from billions to tens of billions, but this one is really special. I think that if it exceeds this number, it must be approved." It’s better to say it in advance if I get it for you to sign.”

The old man was a little embarrassed: "You still need to do professional things, what do I know. What do you think?"

"I want to agree. If the research and development is successful in the end, it will have an extra bargaining chip and a lot of confidence when negotiating technology with foreign countries in the future."

"Then I am willing to believe Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Heping said: "Then let's try it."
