Rebirth of Northland Technology

Ice city

Long Province Biological Laboratory.

There is a laid-back atmosphere in the office. People who read newspapers read and drink tea.

"Lao Zhang, is the project plan ready?"

"Still working on it, it's really not easy to do this experiment."

Wearing a researcher Zhang who doesn't know how many laps of thick glass there are, he is full of bitter hatred.

"Why not easy? Isn't it just asking you to write a plan for a cell culture experiment. It's been so long?"

By chance, Director Sun learned that someone was looking for a research team to do a project.The requirement of the project is very simple, it is to find several groups of similar bacteria to do iterative survival experiments.

Most of Director Sun’s energy has recently been devoted to finding money.The allocation of funds from the state is getting less and less, the biological institute has no task, and life is sad.

But money is so easy to find. In most cases, the wine has not been drunk, the money has not been spent, and in the end there is nothing.

"Look, it's very clearly written here. The same bacteria are used, but several variants require different adaptability. Isn't this contradictory? It is difficult to meet the requirements with this one."

Behind the thick glass of the bottom of the bottle, there are serious eyes.

In nature, if bacteria with different adaptations appear, it is very likely that they are not the same type at all.Even if the various properties are the same, how to prove that they belong to the same strain?

The compositional evolution experiment was established because the Sifang team at that time happened to have cultivated a few special strains with genetic mutations.

The same experiment was obtained in China a few years ago, and the conditions were completely absent.

Technological progress is the advancement of scientific researchers from generation to generation in the footsteps of their predecessors.Pulling seedlings to encourage growth is not feasible in most cases.

"Lao Zhang, what are you doing so seriously? Do you still need to do this kind of experiment? Just find two bacterial colonies to do the experiment and fill in the results yourself.

There are idlers around.It is already a commodity society, a market economy.If you are doing academics, you have to think more, okay?

"I'm afraid it won't work. They require a complete experimental record, and they require that the experimental results be repeatable. Only the experimental results can be repeated intact, it is considered acceptance."

"Really? Can't even such a simple experiment be done?"

Director Sun was very disappointed.These years, it has become more and more difficult to cheat out some funds.

"There is no way. To do this experiment, you must first have a complete genetic laboratory. By modifying genes or inducing gene mutations, several bacteria that meet the requirements can be cultivated."

"Gene! Want to modify the gene?"

Hearing such a tall word, everyone's first reaction is that the legs are soft.

The early stage of any new technology is the easiest to produce results, but it is also the most costly period.Immature technology means that related equipment and instruments are expensive.The rapid technological change means that the equipment becomes obsolete quickly.

"Yes, I have estimated that it will cost at least 10 million yuan to build a genetic laboratory, or foreign exchange. There are no genetic-related equipment and reagents in China."

"Ten million?"

The astronomical figure greatly exceeded Director Sun's estimate.

Adding all the creatures may not be worth ten million.Even after thirty years, their total assets have not exceeded 20 million.

But as long as it is genetically tainted, there is no cheap.This year, an ordinary genetic test has to start with tens of thousands.

"The plan can't be written yet?"

The traditional bacteria experiment cost tens of thousands of dollars and ended up with hundreds of thousands.For tens of millions of projects, everyone doesn't even know where to open the door.

"Write! Why don't you write? What if it's 10,000 batches?"

Director Sun patted his thigh.At least a few times the wine cannot be drunk for nothing!Researchers are idle as well, and busying is better than doing nothing.

"Who the hell is going to do the project? It's an unreliable idea, so it's worth the money?"

The idlers who heard new things and didn't care about them put down their newspapers and gathered.

"The investor is a fund of the University of Technology, and it is very rich! I heard that it has recently made a windfall, which is several hundred million yuan."

Director Sun was also envious when he first heard the news.

Scientist, good-sounding, good-looking, but not popular at all.However, the rapid economic development of Ice City in the past two years has brought many new opportunities.The research institutes in Bingcheng engaged in industry and science and technology, more or less, have the advantage of being near the water.

It is a pity that the biological industry in Bingcheng is not developed, and there are not many opportunities for biological institutes.

"No wonder! I said it earlier! Lao Zhang, I'll help you write, and write more. We can't do industry, but they can't do biology."

Several related funds of the University of Technology, especially the talent fund, have long been famous.This kind of fat pig should not be missed.

"Yes! With this batch of equipment, I will not do anything in the future, just give people genetic testing, and life will be good."

A group of people daydreamed in broad daylight.

There will be bread and so will milk.
