Chapter 135 Application for Funding

Previous ← Back to List → Next

Dr. Chen breathed a sigh of relief, so they can still continue this research.However, they were going to Longcheng University from Jinghua University.Maybe after graduation, he will have to work at Dragon City University.After all, they chose to go to Longcheng University by themselves. It doesn't seem very good if they come back after finishing this research.

Thinking of this, Dr. Chen sighed, and after looking at each other with another doctor, he nodded to Liao Yuanbai, indicating that he knew about it.

Liao Yuanbai said to the two of them as he walked, "Then I will trouble you with the matter of these few days. I need to make a report and experiment plan." Dr. Chen watched Liao Yuanbai walk out of the room with his lips pursed. Looking at the other doctor, he said, "Let's continue the experiment."

As he said that, he picked up the experimental equipment. Since they decided to finish the experiment, naturally they would not just wait for Liao Yuanbai.

When he returned to his room, Liao Yuanbai did not turn on the computer first, but instead made a phone call to his professor, Professor Ted, who was far away in the other hemisphere.When Professor Ted received the call from Liao Yuanbai, he felt something was wrong.I can't tell the specifics, it seems that Liao Yuanbai has encountered some troubles.He answered the phone and asked, "Liao, did something happen to you in Huaguo?"

The professor's concerned voice made Liao Yuanbai raise his lips unconsciously, and said softly, "No, Professor Ted, I want to tell you something."

"Oh?" Professor Ted was still holding the project materials in his hand, when he heard Liao Yuanbai was about to say something, he put down the materials in his hand, sat on the chair and asked, "Liao, if you have any difficulties, I miss you You can tell me." Speaking of this, Professor Ted paused for a moment, and then continued, "Liao, did something happen to your family?" It sounded like Professor Ted was very worried about Liao Yuanbai.

"No." Liao Yuanbai shook his head, "Thank you, Professor, for your concern. My family is fine. However, I do encounter a troublesome thing in Huaguo now."

"Troublesome thing?" Professor Ted seemed a little relaxed when he heard Liao Yuanbai's tone, not like he had encountered something troubling.It's more like encountering an unsolvable scientific research puzzle.That kind of probing and somewhat curious tone, yes, that's what Professor Ted thinks.

"That's right, but it's not a mess." Liao Yuanbai took a deep breath. He originally promised his professor that he would go back in two months, but he didn't expect to go back until next year or the year after.This matter must be clearly explained to Professor Ted.Otherwise, if Professor Ted disagreed, then Liao Yuanbai would feel a little troublesome.He thought about it carefully, and then said, "Yes, because I discovered a new topic these days."

After Liao Yuanbai talked about the new topic, Professor Ted thought it was true.But I am particularly curious about what Liao Yuanbai's so-called new subject is?Is it related to high energy physics, or is it quantum field theory?

He guessed for a while, with a lot of thoughts, and then asked, "Liao, can you tell me, what is the subject you are interested in?"

"It's a subject about genetic engineering." Liao Yuanbai was vague, obviously he didn't want to leak anything before making this thing.Professor Ted also knows that it is impossible for his wife to fully know even some of his subjects.But Liao Yuanbai is actually interested in the topic of genetic engineering, which is a strange thing.He originally thought that what Liao Yuanbai was interested in was at least related to physics.Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a subject of biology.

Smiling, Professor Ted said, "Is that so? I remember Liao, you have studied genetic engineering before, right?"

"That's right." Liao Yuanbai also laughed along with Professor Ted, but his voice was not loud, just chuckled, "So Professor Ted, I'm sorry, I don't seem to be able to go back to Mills University." Liao Yuanbai said this in an extremely regrettable and apologetic tone.

Professor Ted shook his head, picked up the information on the table and read it, "It's okay, Liao, if you are really interested in this subject, I don't think I will stop you from doing research. Well... it's just you Don't forget, you are still a doctoral student at Mills University and have not graduated. Before, there was a student who forgot to do this because of the experiment, and graduated from Mills University after several years. I hope you are doing After finishing this experiment, I will return to Mills University to continue my studies."

What he said sounded like he was joking.Liao Yuanbai said with a smile, "Don't worry, Professor Ted, I know very well that I am still a doctoral student at Mills University. Naturally, after finishing this experiment, I will definitely continue to study at Mills University. "

After asking for leave with Professor Ted, Liao Yuanbai calmed down completely and wrote the plan for this project.Because this experiment is very difficult, after all, there is only such a sample, and it is not certain whether the developed thing can meet the regulations.But in scientific research, someone always takes risks before new things emerge.Liao Yuanbai has always thought so, so even though Liao Yuanbai doesn't know whether this thing will be successful, he still insists on making this thing.

According to his own idea, Liao Yuanbai began to tap on the keyboard.Sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxed.When the whole plan was completed, the sky was gradually getting dark.Only then did Liao Yuanbai feel his stomach growling. He touched his shriveled stomach, stood up, stretched his muscles, and then saved the plan he had written, and walked out of the room.

This is just a first draft, and after he finishes eating, he still needs to revise it. It is estimated that it will be early in the morning or the next morning when the plan is completed.He also needs to print out this plan and hand it over to Dean Liao of the School of Biology at Longcheng University before he can apply for the project.All that remains is to wait for approval.

However, for a topic like this, usually speaking, the approval will not be too slow.After all, such projects are still extremely rare, but for the sake of insurance, perhaps the funds for the project will not be too much.

When Liao Yuanbai thought of this, he had already walked outside the gate unknowingly.He is now living in the dormitory where the doctor lives, a single dormitory, and the conditions are not bad.At least for Liao Yuanbai, it was enough.Because the doctor's dormitory is still some distance from the school gate, Liao Yuanbai walked on the tree-lined path while watching the students passing by, as if he was going to the library.

Because it is summer, the sky doesn't seem to be completely dark yet.The scent of flowers drifted into Liao Yuanbai's breath, the cicadas chirped loudly, and the evening wind blew slowly, carrying a gust of heat.Liao Yuanbai lowered his head and pondered, among the four seasons of the year, he seemed to like this season the most.

You don't need to wear too much, and it looks energetic.

When I walked out of the school gate, there was still some excitement.Originally, there was a commercial street next to Jinghua University. Because Jinghua University is located in the main city of the capital, this commercial street is extremely prosperous.However, because there are too many students here, the price is generally not too high.

Liao Yuanbai looked at the people coming and going, and walked to the restaurant he used to go to when he was still in college.Perhaps because of the large number of people, Liao Yuanbai waited for a long time before eating.Fortunately, there were not many customers in the store at this time. Liao Yuanbai sat at the table and ate while thinking about his own affairs.The boss came over with a plate of pickles, and said to Liao Yuanbai with a smile, "By the way, this classmate, you haven't come to eat for a long time."

"Yes, boss, you still remember me." Liao Yuanbai was quite surprised, he thought the boss couldn't remember him.After all, this small shop has a good business, and almost all the customers are students.It's normal not to remember him.

Shaking his head, the boss smiled and said, "Why can't I remember you, you often come to my house for dinner. I think you haven't come for a long time, maybe a year?" The boss scratched his head and said, "I don't know Is it to your liking."

"Appropriate." After talking with the boss for a while, Liao Yuanbai returned to his room after dinner and paid the money.Turning on the computer, he began to revise the first draft.The crackling keyboard sound kept ringing in the room, and the air conditioner was also whistling.Liao Yuanbai made a cup of coffee just to make himself look more energetic.Halfway through the change, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked a little tired.

Rubbing his eyes vigorously, Liao Yuanbai continued to modify the plan.After freeing his hand, he took a sip of coffee.Liao Yuanbai seemed to regain some energy, and wrote more things.

After a while, after changing his plan, he yawned, washed up and fell asleep hastily.

When he woke up the next day, Liao Yuanbai came to the laboratory with the printed experiment plan in his hand.The two doctors in the laboratory were still doing experiments, and when they heard the sound of Liao Yuanbai pushing the door, they turned their heads to look at Liao Yuanbai in a daze.

"You do yours." Liao Yuanbai said with a smile, "I just came to tell you that I want to take this plan to Longcheng University. I won't be in Jinghua University for a few days, and I reckon that the approval of this topic will not be too slow, at least there should be a result within a month, so I think everyone should be mentally prepared."

Dr. Chen looked at Liao Yuanbai, pursed his lips and said, "Don't worry, Dr. Liao, since we agreed to your proposal, we must be prepared." It seemed that Dr. Chen was still worried about something Something, "But can the funding for this project really be approved quickly?"

He felt that things were not that simple, not to mention...the approval of funds could not be so fast.You know, even if his mentor is a big name in the industry, if such a topic is proposed, it will take three to five months to hear the news of the approval result. Isn't Liao Yuanbai overestimating himself?Of course, Dr. Chen didn't look down on Liao Yuanbai, if he didn't like Liao Yuanbai, he would definitely not study with Liao Yuanbai.

He just felt that Liao Yuanbai had overestimated his ability and academic background.

It was he who admitted that Liao Yuanbai's teacher, Mr. Liang, was indeed an academic leader, but the problem was that Mr. Liang was in the field of physics, not biology.

"Dr. Chen, are you worried... the result of the approval is not so fast?" Liao Yuanbai looked at Dr. Chen's face, and Dr. Chen found that Liao Yuanbai seemed to see through his own thoughts. Some are not used to it.Dr. Chen was silent for a while, and gave a gentle grace, and then said, "Dr. Liao, I don't think the approval should be so fast. No matter how perfect your plan is, the above still needs to be studied, not to mention the rabies treatment plan. It's over."

"I know." Liao Yuanbai seemed to be very relaxed, and he didn't feel as heavy as Dr. Chen.

Dr. Chen didn't know where Liao Yuanbai's confidence came from, or, in fact, Liao Yuanbai also knew that things would not be so simple, so he just acted relaxed and calm?But they are all people who have done countless experiments, not to mention that they are not ignorant of the twists and turns of the subject.

After being silent for a while, Liao Yuanbai said, "I am not applying for a national scientific research fund, but a provincial scientific research fund. You also know how difficult it is to apply for a national scientific research fund, and it may even be rejected. Therefore, I chose the safest provincial scientific research funding, although the money is not as sufficient as the national one, but I think it is enough if it is just an experiment."

Only then did Dr. Chen remember that Liao Yuanbai hadn't applied for a national-level scientific research grant, so he thought about it.If you apply for the national level, the possibility of being killed is still very high.

First, although Liao Yuanbai's academic qualifications are good, they are generally in mathematics and physics.If Liao Yuanbai applied for these two aspects, the national level should pass easily.But the problem is that Liao Yuanbai's contribution in biology is only anticancer drugs. Of course, the major discovery of anticancer drugs can already establish Liao Yuanbai's qualifications in biology in Huaguo.

However, it is not enough to apply for national scientific research funding, because each topic requires many resolutions.

The reason why Liao Yuanbai did not choose the national scientific research funding was because there were too many decisions. When the subject was finished, they might even have the experimental results.Besides, Liao Yuanbai is not sure that he will be able to do it.If there is no result at that time, the higher authorities will be held accountable and the media will report it, which will be very embarrassing.

Isn't he an academic liar?Therefore, it is most appropriate for Liao Yuanbai to choose the provincial scientific research funding.

In Jinghua University, Liao Yuanbai may not be ranked in the forefront of biology, but in Longcheng University, with the accumulation of previous academic capital, Liao Yuanbai can indeed be regarded as a leader in the School of Biology.It is of course more than enough to apply for a provincial project funding.

Dr. Chen always thought that Liao Yuanbai was a guy who was only interested in researching various subjects, but he didn't expect Liao Yuanbai to think of this place.

He nodded slightly, and said with a grace, "Since Dr. Liao has already decided, just teach us the laboratory. Don't worry, the two of us will definitely not mess around." Liao Yuanbai smiled, " Of course, I believe that you will not mess around in the laboratory, I am just saying hello to you. To save you from needing manpower, when you are looking for me, you suddenly find that I am not there."

After saying this, Liao Yuanbai walked out of the laboratory.He is really in a hurry now, so he made an appointment with Dean Liao to meet him in the afternoon.He now has to go to the airport to take a plane and fly back to Dragon City.Fortunately, when he entered the laboratory just now, he found Mr. Song, and Mr. Song also agreed to send Liao Yuanbai to the airport.

Looking at the time, Liao Yuanbai tidied up his clothes, feeling that there is still time for him to go to the airport.

After arriving at the airport, Liao Yuanbai sat in the plane and flew back to Longcheng.When he arrived in Dragon City, he didn't rest, and rushed to Dragon City University without stopping.When I came to the office of the dean of the School of Biology, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, which was the hottest time in summer.

Pushing open the door, a gust of cold air rushed in.Liao Yuanbai smiled at the white-haired old man sitting on the chair, "Dean Liao?"

"Yes." The old man looked at Liao Yuanbai kindly, carefully sized up the guy in front of him who looked like he had just grown up, and said, "You are Liao Yuanbai, right? You are younger than I thought, and you really are a hero."

Liao Yuanbai walked to the chair in front of the desk, sat down and said, "Dean Liao, this is my project information, please show me." Dean Liao saw Liao Yuanbai's straightforward words, and did not chat with him .Holding the information given by Liao Yuanbai, looking at it, Dean Liao read the information with a serious expression, as if he was seriously reading the materials that Liao Yuanbai had compiled.

After a while, Dean Liao read all the materials, and then said, "Xiao Liao, it's not what I said. It's just that although your idea of ​​this topic is very good, the probability of realizing it is not high. Your mathematics is very good. Well, I'm sure you know that yourself."

"That's right." Liao Yuanbai nodded, "Even if it's genetic engineering, the probability of success in this experiment is only about 40.00%."

"So." Dean Liao was silent for a while, and then said, "If you use this project to apply for national scientific research funding, I'm afraid you will be rejected." Seeing that Liao Yuanbai wanted to speak, Dean Liao did it. With a calm gesture, he continued, "I also know that young people are aggressive. But you also know that it is not easy to apply for national scientific research funding. If you insist on applying, I am sure I will help you apply. But——afterwards, I don’t think you should have too much hope.”

"Dean Liao." Liao Yuanbai was a little dumbfounded. This Dean Liao must have been too anxious. Before he finished speaking, he thought he was going to apply for a national scientific research grant. "I want to apply for provincial scientific research funding. Only the provincial scientific research funding is enough. I have calculated it. Including all the expenses required for the experiment, the provincial scientific research funding is more than enough."

"Hmm...provincial level." Dean Liao seemed to be in deep thought. After a while, he looked at Liao Yuanbai in disbelief and said, "What, you mean provincial research funding?" I thought I heard it wrong, after all, Liao Yuanbai is a master in the school.He didn't expect that he was applying for a provincial scientific research grant, and how he was going to persuade Liao Yuanbai to apply for a provincial grant. He didn't expect that he had already thought about it when he came.

"That's right." Liao Yuanbai nodded, "I know the truth, so the purpose of my visit this time is to tell Dean Liao that I have never thought about national research funding, at least not now. What’s more, the provincial scientific research funds are enough to do experiments. As long as... our laboratory is in the laboratory of Longcheng University.”

"Of course." Dean Liao breathed a sigh of relief. He often met some professors who wanted to apply for national-level scientific research funding with their projects, but the approval rate of national-level scientific research funding was too low.Almost no unknown person, or Xiao Na can pass.After all, there are too many projects invested by the state. Besides, the money allocated to each project is actually not much.

Therefore, the country is still holding on to this area very tightly.

The provincial level is much more relaxed. As long as it is a famous professor, if he applies for the provincial level, he will almost certainly be approved.After being slightly shocked for a while, Dean Liao put the information on the table and said happily, "Well, if Xiao Liao is at the provincial level, I promise to give you an answer within a month."

I don't dare to say whether Liao Yuanbai can succeed in the experiment, this can be regarded as one of his political achievements when President Liao was in office.Therefore, when Liao Yuanbai said that he applied for the provincial level, his expression was quite happy.

Next, Liao Yuanbai chatted with Dean Liao for a while about the specifics of this experiment, and discussed in what laboratory the experiment was done.After negotiating, Liao Yuanbai dragged his exhausted body back home.After sleeping at home, because he was worried about things in the laboratory, Liao Yuanbai rushed back to the laboratory without stopping.

When they returned to the laboratory of Jinghua University, the two doctors were quietly recording the data.

Liao Yuanbai breathed a sigh of relief, and found that there was nothing going on in the laboratory for the time being, so he walked over and changed into his own clothes, and joined in.

Dr. Chen took a look at Liao Yuanbai and asked, "How is Dr. Liao, how is your application this time?"

"It has been reported to the dean, and they said that the results will be available within a month." Liao Yuanbai said, but the movements of his hands are not slow at all, "Although it is said that the results will be available in a month, but I think There should be no difference, this subject can be passed."

Dr. Chen nodded, after all, Liao Yuanbai's reputation can still bluff a lot of people in Long Province.It seems that there should be no difficulty in passing the provincial project funding.

Liao Yuanbai turned his head and glanced at Dr. Chen, "How far is it going now?"
