1991 Starting from the core

"Brother, what did the big boss say?"

After seeing off Su Yuanshan and his entourage, Cheng Mingcheng had just returned to the office when the junior brothers and sisters who had been waiting for him swarmed over.

He looked at the eager eyes of the junior brothers and sisters and felt extremely panicked. However, he still held back his composure and shook his head with a smile: "The big boss just came over to take a look at the progress and didn't say much."

——The big boss here obviously refers to Su Yuanshan.

"You guys wait a minute, I'll call the boss."

Cheng Mingcheng took a deep breath, took out his mobile phone, walked to his tutor's office, closed the door and dialed the phone. After two rings, a female voice rang: "Professor Tao is still on the stage, waiting for half an hour."

"OK, thanks."

Knowing that his mentor was still on the operating table, Cheng Mingcheng hung up the phone. After a long silence, he opened his computer and then opened the test report.

After looking at it for a long time, he made a copy and began to modify it.

…

"Professor Wei, please have a chat with Professor Tao."

In September in the Special Administrative Region, it was still extremely hot. Fortunately, the Institute of Biology was lined with green trees and there were shady spots everywhere. Su Yuanshan and Professor Wei Sihe sat under the largest banyan tree, chatting and cooling off.

"OK."

So far, Professor Wei Sihe still cannot accurately grasp what Su Yuanshan's true intention is. After all... biomedicine and materials physics are different. Although both are based on experiments, the errors in biomedical test results are significantly larger than those in physical experiments. Especially in clinical medicine, the errors are even worse.

Judging from Su Yuanshan's attitude, it seems that he really believes that the currently hot cardiac stem cells are "fake"... and even intends to go to war over it.

Isn't this...a bit too reckless?

"It is said that the 21st century is the century of biology. This is true and false. But one thing is at least certain. Whether it is neuroscience, genetic engineering, or stem cells, it is The hot topics are also areas that can have a huge impact on mankind.”

"Yes." Professor Wei was convinced.

"So, in a field with such a huge impact, we must be down-to-earth. Take the so-called cardiac stem cells as an example. Look at how many projects have been launched in the past few years, even in the face of doubts? How many articles have been published? "

Hearing Su Yuanshan use the word "so-called" to describe myocardial stem cells, Professor Wei immediately confirmed that Su Yuanshan indeed believed that myocardial stem cells were fake - this was not just a topic related to the Institute of Biology, but also related to this field. The founder, Piero Anversa!

This surprised Professor Wei!

Because of the discovery of cardiac stem cells, Piero has been hailed as a savior for heart disease patients by some media who like to exaggerate. Both pharmaceutical companies and the government have high hopes for Piero... …In just a few years, the topics and discoveries based on myocardial stem cells have continued to suppress the already weak voices of doubt and pushed Piero's reputation to an extremely high level.

Su Yuanshan... just rejected him directly?

"Professor Su... do you really think myocardial stem cells don't exist?" After finishing speaking, Professor Wei immediately said: "As far as I know, not only our institute, but also other research groups in China are working on this topic, and last year and This year, there are papers published..."

"They are fake." Su Yuanshan said matter-of-factly.

"..."

"Of course, nothing can be said to be so absolute... The domestic research team may think that the big guys in the United States are right, and if they don't make it, there must be something wrong there, so they make modifications to join in the fun - I Just assume that they have this kind of mentality." Su Yuanshan casually grabbed a piece of grass and bent it on his fingertips, and smiled softly: "But science is science, and biomedicine is also science - unless it says that it is still the same as before. Witch doctor, you don’t have to respect the facts. Otherwise, in the eyes of science, especially in the eyes of experimental science, there won’t be any sand in it.”

"This is the most troublesome thing in the country. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, we were founded as a country based on science and engineering. We originally had a good foundation for pursuing truth. But... due to various historical reasons, when the domestic scientific research system was reshaped, it inevitably became utilitarian. .”

Su Yuanshan looked forward and said slowly: "This won't work."

Professor Wei was silent, not knowing what to say.

Of course there is nothing wrong with simply agreeing, but that would be too much.

"That's why the Chinese Academy of Sciences plans to reorganize the previously ineffective scientific ethics committee of the academic department this time and establish a new academic ethics committee. The number of people will be expanded from the original seven to 7+15 people."

Upon hearing this, Professor Wei immediately thought of Su Yuanshan asking himself if he had received the notice just now - you know, he is not an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

This seems to mean that the members of this academic ethics committee are not limited to academicians?

So he immediately asked: "Can everyone join this committee?"

"Haha, of course ordinary people can't do it. At the very least, they must have high professional titles."

Su Yuanshan made a joke and then laughed: "But one thing is at least one thing, that is, everyone must be innocent and clean."

Professor Wei took a deep breath.

It seems... he fits it perfectly.

"Then, you must be." Of course, Professor Wei didn't look strange, he just looked at Su Yuanshan with a smile.

“It’s an honor that every one of my results and every paper can be reproduced and verified.”

Su Yuanshan felt a little "irritable" as he spoke.

Due to various messy considerations in the Department of Electrical Engineering, he was not able to become an academician last year, so that when the superiors promoted this matter this year, he was unable to enter the seven-person group... and could only become a "peripheral" member of 15 people.

After all, he is currently the only Nobel Prize winner with pure blood in China!

Of course... in terms of results, Su Yuanshan is actually only 1/15, which is better.

Because the seats are always 1/7.

Among a group of respected old gentlemen who were at least sixty years old, Xi Xiaoding stood out.

"There is a long way to go to clear up the source." Su Yuanshan said slowly: "I don't want to use the word "kill the chicken to scare the monkey", but sometimes, it is really necessary to remind the domestic academic community. Professor Wei, just now you said that there are also domestic research groups that have published relevant articles. , what should we do?”

Without waiting for Professor Wei to answer, Su Yuanshan replied: "Withdraw the manuscript."

"I'm afraid it won't be easy." Professor Wei sighed with a smile: "Not to mention the shame, just spitting out what you put in your mouth...this is a bit fatal."

In just a few seconds, Professor Wei quickly went through Su Yuanshan's intention of talking so much in front of him in his mind, and then he chose to correct his stance.

What is the hardest thing about doing scientific research? It's money, it's recognition.

Su Yuanshan is rich, but can he bring recognition?

Professor Wei thinks it can!

At least, in China, it is possible!

And internationally... academic integrity is politically correct, who dares to dissent?

And Professor Wei even felt that the chicken Su Yuanshan wanted to kill this time to scare the monkeys... was not just an ordinary chicken.

"Simple, it's not our fault." Su Yuanshan chuckled: "We just followed the first big guy who committed fraud and took the wrong path because we lacked confidence. And I also read all the articles published in China, At least domestic scholars are not blind, at least they know how to cover it up. When the time comes, retract the manuscript, admit your mistake, and the future will be long - retraction of manuscripts is so common."

"As for putting it in your mouth, as long as the scientific research funds are used in the right way and do not fall into your own pockets, I believe the national foundation can understand it. Even if the national foundation cannot understand... I can understand it. Spend some money. I can still do this."

Su Yuanshan looked at Professor Wei as he spoke and smiled slightly: "I don't have many acquaintances in this circle. How about Professor Wei, who has many connections? Can you help me?"

Professor Wei took a deep breath.

He had made a lot of guesses, but he really didn't expect that Su Yuanshan would give him the task of "persuading surrender"...

This... this, this...

How does this make him speak?

Without waiting for Professor Wei to speak, or in other words, Su Yuanshan did not give Professor Wei a chance to "reject", he smiled slightly again: "I said it in the office just now, whoever dares to tell the truth and is pragmatic, whether it is Yuanxin or me, Okay, I will help you talk."

"Let me put it more bluntly. I can directly give a platform to students who are willing to pursue science and facts. I can give them a future."

Upon hearing this, Professor Wei knew that Su Yuanshan was determined to do this.

And...all over the world, it seems that Su Yuanshan really has this ability...but no one thought that he could actually have this courage.

Listen, he gives those "tainted witnesses" who are willing to come forward a future.

What does this sentence mean? It means that as long as you are willing to stand up, you will have a Nobel Prize winner, a doctorate in physics and semiconductors, a richest man with a net worth of tens or even hundreds of billions, and a huge technology empire to back you up.

Moreover... Thinking back to Su Yuanshan's father, Professor Su Xinghe has also gone to Beijing to serve on the Education Committee...

As you can imagine, this was definitely not the idea of ​​the Su family and his son.

Rather, this father and son represent a higher level of will!

Thinking of this, Professor Wei took another deep breath, and after slowly exhaling it, a smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, this evil guy... I'll take it for granted."

"Haha, how could he be a bad person? He is obviously a good person, Professor Wei." Su Yuanshan's expression did not change, with a faint smile, as if he had never considered that Professor Wei would refuse.

"It's just that, Professor Su... are you going to completely hammer away the cardiac stem cells this time?" After saying this, Professor Wei immediately added: "The premise is that it is indeed fake."

"Yes."

"That chicken is quite fat."

After all, Su Yuanshan was called away by his senior brother Jiang Qingchuan before Professor Tao returned. Professor Wei was left alone in the institute quietly for half an hour. Then he came to the heart laboratory and handed over the report to the doctor who was revising the report. Cheng Mingcheng called to his office.

"Xiao Cheng, what I ask you next is also what I want to ask your mentor."

"Ask, Professor Wei."

"Did you really fail to reproduce this test?"

"Yes."

"Okay, then you prepare a paper that cannot be reproduced." Professor Wei said and pointed to Cheng Mingcheng's pocket: "Answer the phone."

Cheng Mingcheng nodded, took out his cell phone, took a look, and quickly stood up: "Hey, teacher, where are you?"

…

Half an hour later, Tao Xin, who had just gotten off the operating table, took off his white coat and rushed to the biology institute in a hurry.

Although he works in the provincial capital of Guangdong Province, he is not far from the Institute of Biology, and due to clinical reasons, he pays extra attention to this experimental class, so he usually comes to the laboratory to do it himself.

Over time, his relationship with Professor Wei became much closer.

After arriving at the Institute of Biology, Professor Wei Sihe frankly told Tao Xingang Su Yuanshan's opinions, and also reminded Su Yuanshan's true wishes.

Tao Xingang's brows furrowed. He asked almost subconsciously: "Old Wei, Professor Su, does he even understand biomedicine?"

"It's not that he understands very well, but he is very determined."

"this……"

"No need for this, that, Old Tao." Professor Wei looked at Tao Xingang and said sternly: "Professor Su's goal this time is not our domestic colleagues. But..."

"He's not killing chickens to scare monkeys, he's killing monkeys directly." As he said that, Professor Wei Sihe sighed: "You think, someone who dares to kill even monkeys...who can stop him? "

Tao Xingang was stunned for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly.

Yes, who can stop him?

Not to mention Su Yuanshan’s own academic reputation and status, he has not won any of the MacMillan Prize, Wolf Prize, and Nobel Prize.

The terrible thing is that he still has money. Not only is he rich, he is also the richest man.

Not to mention simply having money... He is also the founder of a technology company known as the most important weapon of the country... He has a very high private status and reputation.

Other titles such as genius are simply a bit out of place.

In addition to these, according to rumors, Su Yuanshan can also reach Tianting directly - and this doesn't count!

Because as a well-known doctor, Tao Xingang naturally knows more "internal rumors" from the hospital.

According to legend, there was "a" early-stage Pancreatic Cancer who was diagnosed in the hospital while Su Yuanshan dragged him to death! The disease is famous for being the least detectable in the early stage and the most irreversible in the later stage.

It is no exaggeration to say that Su Yuanshan is a lifesaver.

Not to mention, no one dared to figure out whether Su Yuanshan's behavior was due to his own temper or a higher-level intention.

"Old Tao, if you think so, at least you don't have to withdraw the manuscript."

"Haha, when you say that, I still feel a little lucky?" Tao Xingang came back to his senses and kept shaking his head.

"However, I think the manuscript still needs to be submitted. After working for so long and investing so much energy and money, there must be an explanation." Professor Wei looked at Wei Xingang and said softly: "If I were you, I would Will question Piero and say he told a big lie."

"Hit this cannon hard!"
