I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

Chapter 690 The Scientists' Desire to Spend Money Can Never Be Completely Satisfied

The procedures with legal force have been completed, and then enter the specific operation stage.

Before doing gene therapy, the necessary hardware and software must be bought back.

Which supplier to buy hardware and software, Shen Qi put forward his suggestion: "Micro-robots and microneedles, as well as supporting operating software, are available in the market. The most reputable supplier in the world is Germany's ART company, the domestic Huahan gene is also the first in Asia and the top in the world, and it is trustworthy. My purchasing suggestion is to choose one of ART and Huahan gene. If you have other suppliers, you can also recommend them.”

Everyone expressed their opinion: "I agree with Director Shen's two-choice procurement plan."

"Han Meng previously purchased 5 million yuan of basic equipment, which saved our research group one or two million yuan, and also bought the best products. It can be said that he spent a small amount of money to do big things, and he did it beautifully. The gene therapy this time The purchase of hardware and software should be handled by Han Meng. Which hardware and software to buy, what specifications and models to buy, Han Meng has the final say, after all, you are the protagonist of this gene therapy experiment. The purchase amount this time is relatively large. During the procurement process, please pay attention to honesty and discipline. That's all I have to say, everyone go your own way." Shen Qi arranged the work of the biological laboratory, and the meeting adjourned.

The three billion base pairs of human beings were sequenced as early as 2003, but so far, only 2% of the content encodes more than 20,000 human genes.

Only this 2% content coding can technically realize the editing and modification of thousands of disease-causing genes.

It would be a masterpiece if it encoded the remaining 98% of unknown genetic material.

Coding is one thing, and the controllability after coding is another topic.

Human beings have 120 billion kilometers of DNA circuits, constantly dividing cells, and the speed of change at the molecular level far exceeds the efficiency of human exploration.

What is the ultimate form of biology?

Shen Qi fell into deep thought.

The actual progress of the first research stage of the "Genetic Engineering Research Project" has exceeded the research scope originally set by Shen Qi.

The 11 million research funds issued by the National Natural Science Research Foundation are not enough at all. Just an A2 model of micro-robot produced by ART company costs more than 3 million euros.

Including supporting microneedles, programming software, implant modules, and cell-targeting agents, the total price of a set of state-of-the-art gene therapy equipment and raw materials is more than 5 million euros.

The 100 million yuan scientific research sponsorship from the Shen Zhishan Foundation is for the first time, and as the "Genetic Engineering Research Project" is gradually carried out, new funding within the budget will be applied for later.

The scientific research budget of Shen Qi Research Center this year is 900 million RMB, which is the highest among all colleges and departments of Yanda University.

300 million for physics, 280 million for chemistry, 300 million for biology, and 20 million for mathematics. This is how Shen Qi allocated them.

For his favorite mathematics, he only gave an annual research budget of 20 million RMB.

The nature of the subjects is like this. The most costly subjects are physics and biology, followed by chemistry.

Mathematics is thrifty, and I am used to living a hard life.

"Boss Shen, the annual scientific research budget of our mathematics department is only 20 million yuan this year. How can this be enough?" Zhou Yuan, the director of the mathematics department, couldn't sit still. More than 20 mathematics researchers under him combined into 10 mathematics research projects. Each research group has an average research budget of 2 million RMB this year.

For the central physics room, buy a nano-scale processing equipment, 9 million US dollars.

The Central Chemistry Department conducts phase II clinical research of chemical drugs, and the funding for this year is 120 million RMB.

In the biological center of the center, apart from Shen Qi who also serves as the head of the department, the other five people are Ph.D. students who have fled back to China. They will spend 5 million euros to buy a set of fancy gadgets that weigh less than a catty.

There is no harm without comparison.

Zhou Yu'an, who was doing basic theoretical research, and his brothers and sisters felt humbled.

"No way, the center is poor. We have to tighten our belts to get through these few years." Shen Qi is also very helpless. The state gave his center a research budget of 900 million yuan a year, and his center is just a branch of Yanda University. departments, and 900 million yuan is higher than the annual scientific research budget of some 985 universities.

It can be said that the state has given the greatest support to Shen Qi's scientific research center. The annual scientific research budget of his department is higher than that of the entire university of Shandong University.

There is only one Shen Qi Research Center in China with such a rich affiliated department of a university.

But in the field of scientific research, scientists' desire to spend money can never be fully satisfied.

"No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in mathematics. Without mathematics, how can you be rational?" Zhou Yu'an is an extremely determined mathematics warrior, and his original intention for mathematics has never changed. 20 million for scientific research is really not that much. If 20 million is placed outside, you can only buy a commercial house of more than 100 square meters in a relatively good location in the capital.

"That's the truth, but Yu'an, I really can't squeeze out enough money to add to the math room. It's not advisable to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, not to mention that the cost of the psychology, chemistry, and biology section of our center is also stretched this year."

"Boss Shen, our mathematics department only has a research budget of 20 million yuan this year, which is really not enough. I will pull out the details with you, and you can see for yourself. The research on the principle of local wholes derived from the BSD conjecture, this has to be done? Drag coefficient Model, this is a project in cooperation with the Ninth Academy, so we have to do it too? The application of the NS equation in the electromagnetic gun system is also a project in cooperation with the Ninth Academy. This is a political task. Dare we not do it? Dare we not do it? Easy to make and beautiful? Also, Hodge guessed..."

"...So Boss Shen, you feel your conscience and tell me, is 20 million enough?" Zhou Yu'an poked Shen Qi's heart.

"It's really not enough." Shen Qi shook his head, and said again: "Yu'an, go outside to solicit sponsorship and raise funds yourself."

"Where do I go to get sponsorship?"

"Shen Zhishan Foundation, you go find them."

"It's really embarrassing for your old Shen family. You use the strength of a family to subsidize China's scientific research." Of course Zhou Yu'an knew the relationship between Shen Zhishan and Shen Qi. How long can the company last?"

"I believe this is a task: earn the money you can earn fairly and honestly, earn as much as you can, and then give as much as you can." Shen Qi quoted a famous quote from the old Rockefeller, and said: "Yuan , Is there only money left between us brothers? You have come to me alone three times this month, all for money. "

Zhou Yu'an smiled: "Apart from money, maybe there is only wine left between us."

Shen Qi: "Go drink tonight, just the two of us."

Zhou Yu'an asked back: "Is it interesting for two old men to drink?"

Shen Qi snorted, and asked, "How many girls do you need me to arrange?"

"Obey Boss Shen's arrangement."

"Before arranging the girl, tell me first, to what extent should we study these scientific research projects that we cooperate with the Ninth Academy? Experiment or actual combat? Local or global?"

"This is all a political mission, what do you think, Boss Shen?"

"Then I understand. I will arrange a few more girls for you tonight."
