Xueba's life simulator

Chapter 204
After Zhou Chunli hurriedly hung up the phone, Zhou Ming finally realized that he went to find that person again, and he was talking about his own affairs.

"When you usually watch the news, isn't that person very busy? Why does he seem to be free today?" Zhou Ming thought in his heart, so he didn't bother with Zhou Chunli's affairs anymore. Anyway, Zhou Chunli said that he would have a call in the afternoon. He is waiting for the call.

Soon, Zhou Ming came to the laboratory of the Space Synthetic Biology Research Project. After walking around the laboratory, Zhou Ming called out Zhang Yongliang and another researcher who made the results together last time.

"The research on bacterial transformation that you completed last time, you continue." After calling Zhang Yongliang out alone, Zhou Ming said to him. It is the later research plan, just like last time, strictly confidential."

Like these studies, Zhou Ming divides them into several parts. Every time the researchers are asked to study, they will only be given a part. A part of the research plan is handed over to them.

In this case, even if an inner ghost really appeared in the middle and ran away with the information given by Zhou Ming, it would not have too much impact on Zhou Ming. He just updated this research.

Moreover, Zhou Ming will only show one person a set of research plans, and the other people who are doing the experiment will listen to this person and follow him to do the experiment.

"What's next?" Zhang Yongliang was surprised when he saw the plan that Zhou Ming gave him for the first time, because he had never seen such a detailed research plan.

You know, even those big cows who have been struggling in the front line of scientific research, when they make research plans, they only make a rough plan, because they don't know what will happen during the experiment, and what will happen to the results of the experiment. It won't really be as they predicted, and it is impossible to consider everything so carefully.

At least as far as Zhang Yongliang's experience is concerned, he has never seen a plan like Zhou Ming's. According to Zhou Ming's plan, they don't seem to be doing an innovative experiment without knowing the result, but they seem to be repeating an existing project. As a result, the predecessors have done countless experiments.

And it’s fine if you have one, but now you say that there is a follow-up, how can this not surprise Zhang Yongliang?
And it's not like Zhang Yongliang didn't think about asking the researchers in charge of other research in Zhou Ming's Space Synthetic Biology Research Project team if this is also the case.

But even though he had this kind of thought in his heart, Zhang Yongliang still didn't ask other people to ask this sentence out in the end.

After all, this is a rare opportunity that can be met but not sought after. After the research results come out, he and the other researchers are the first authors. If Zhou Ming kicks him out because of such an incident, then he will cry. There is nowhere to cry.

However, although he didn't ask, Zhang Yongliang also understood that the people in charge must have tacitly understood this matter.

Zhou Ming did not answer Zhang Yongliang's words, but continued to say to him: "Recently, our team's two experimental results of bacterial transformation and mycelium have probably attracted the attention of the upper echelons of the United States. You usually go online or go outside. During this time, try not to mention things about the laboratory. And the experimental plan I handed over to you, keep it safe and don’t let it out..."

……

When Zhou Ming returned to his office and began to prepare for this week's math class, his cell phone rang again.

"Didn't you say that the call won't come until the afternoon? Why are you calling now?"

After the phone rang, Zhou Ming thought so in his heart, he thought it was the phone that Zhou Chunli was talking about.

But when Zhou Ming picked up the phone and looked at it, he realized that the call was not from the capital, but from Zhang Mingjie who had already called once just now.

"Hey, Dean Zhang, why do I feel that your honorary dean is busier than Xue Tian's executive dean." Zhou Ming half-jokingly said to Zhang Mingjie after he answered the phone.

"It's not because of what I told you about Jay Kisling just now. I contacted them after I finished talking with you. Fortunately, although there was a time difference between the two sides, it was not too late at that time. They Also responded quickly.

This time, Jay Kisling did not come alone. He also brought two colleagues, one named Devin Coleman-Derr (Devin Coleman-Derr) and the other named Yang Dongdong.

That German Coleman-Dell, according to the other side, also studies synthetic biology.

As for that Yang Dongdong, he graduated from our Huaguo University of Science and Technology as an undergraduate, but he went abroad when he was a graduate student. The information given there said that he was interested in studying enzymology and hybrid biological inorganics. .

However, I checked, this Yang Dongdong graduated from our side with a bachelor's degree in chemistry, and his current research is also in nano...

They will come on the 27th of this month, which is next Tuesday, and you should also prepare in advance. "

Zhang Mingjie said to Zhou Ming, and briefly explained some identity information of the two people who were going to come with Jay Kisling.

"Okay, I understand, I will prepare." Zhou Ming said.

After hanging up the phone with Zhang Mingjie, Zhou Ming asked the information department of the company to check the information on Devon Coleman-Dell and Yang Dongdong. It didn't take long for some basic information of these two to appear on Zhou Ming's computer. .

"Devon Coleman-Dell, a graduate student in the laboratory of Daniel Zilberman in the Department of Plant and Microbial Biology at UC Berkeley, studied the transcriptional epigenetics of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana Genetic Regulatory Mechanisms...CUBES Members...

Yang Dongdong, born in Jiangsu Province in 1971, was admitted to the Department of Applied Chemistry of Huaguo University of Science and Technology in 1988, and received a bachelor's degree in chemistry from Huaguo University of Science and Technology in 1993. University Ph.D. in Chemistry…

He did postdoctoral research at UC Santa Barbara before joining the UC Berkeley Department of Chemistry in 1999. …

Currently a professor in the Department of Chemistry, Materials Science and Engineering...

In 14, he also served as the dean of the School of Physical Science and Technology of Shanghai University of Science and Technology, and was elected as an academician of the National Academy of Sciences in May this year.

However, although he is interested in the two biological fields of enzymology and hybrid bio-inorganic, but he is a professor of chemistry, material science and engineering, a nanomaterials scientist, and not mainly researching biology..."

Zhou Ming was thinking while looking at the information of these two.

Suddenly, the same information as Devin Coleman-Dell also appeared in the information introduction of this Yang Dongdong, who is also a member of CUBES.

"What is this CUBES?"

Zhou Ming began to search for information about CUBES on the Internet with some doubts, and at the same time asked the information department to continue to investigate the matter of CUBES.

"The Space Bioengineering Utilization Center, a science and technology research institute established by the American Space Agency at the end of last year, aims to use biology to support life in space.

So, I said that I had never heard of this name, and it turned out that it was established last year.

It seems that Jay Kisling, an international pioneer in the industrialization of synthetic biology, may have another purpose for coming to HKUST this time, not just a simple academic discussion.

Let me just talk about the discussion of synthetic biology. Why do you bring Yang Dongdong, who is not a master in the field of nanometers, but he is definitely not a person comparable to ordinary scholars. It seems that he may have taken a fancy to this Yang The professor has graduated from Huaguo University of Science and Technology. "

Zhou Ming finally figured out what kind of organization this CUBES, which both Devin Coleman-Dell and Yang Dongdong joined, was by searching for relevant information on the Internet and the information sent by the Information Department.

Now, Zhou Ming is waiting for them to come over next week. As the saying goes, if they come here for the research results of transforming bacteria and mycelium, then Zhou Ming will definitely have to talk to them.

For Zhou Ming, these research results are just phased research, and they will be updated in a short time. It would be great if he could exchange some other things that he does not have here before the update.

And although these researches are things that will be eliminated for Zhou Ming in the near future, they are still very precious research results for other people and organizations, so even if they are exchanged, they must not return the eliminated things. .

Therefore, if someone wants these achievements, he must exchange them with Zhou Ming for something good.

In the afternoon, Zhou Ming did receive a call from the capital, but the call was still from Zhou Chunli.

"Hello, is this Professor Zhou?" Although the phone was connected, Zhou Chunli still asked in case it wasn't Zhou Ming who answered the phone.

"Dean Zhou? Yes, it's me, Zhou Ming." Zhou Ming answered after answering the phone.

"That's good, it's like this, after we chatted in the morning, I will tell that person about your projected progress of the space synthetic biology research project.

We also held a small meeting here, discussed it, and communicated with the people at the space agency, and decided to hold an emergency meeting on your space synthetic biology research project the day after tomorrow.

I just don't know if you are free the day after tomorrow?We also have a preparation time here, if you are not free the day after tomorrow, you can change the time. "

After hearing Zhou Ming's voice and confirming that it was Zhou Ming on the other end of the phone, Zhou Chunli continued talking to Zhou Ming.

the day after tomorrow?The day after tomorrow is the 22nd, and Jay Kisling and the others won't come over until the 21st, so it's impossible to hold a meeting for six or seven days.

With that in mind, Zhou Ming said to Zhou Chunli, "No problem, I have time the day after tomorrow."

"That's good. The specific time of this meeting is nine o'clock in the morning, and the meeting place is at...

This meeting, the main purpose is to let you and the space agency communicate directly in the future, and you will also talk to the space agency about the research and development plan of your space synthetic biology research project in the future..."

Zhou Chunli told Zhou Ming the specific location of the meeting and what the meeting would discuss.

……

On the 22nd, Zhou Ming came by train the night before, and went to the capital directly after sleeping on the train.

"The progress of your space synthetic biology research project has greatly exceeded our expectations, but today's urgent meeting is not only for you to directly contact the aerospace department, but there are actually some other things. This matter was yesterday. occurring."

When Zhou Ming bought the ticket, he told Zhou Chunli about when he would arrive in the capital, and Zhou Chunli came here early to wait for Zhou Ming.

After meeting Zhou Ming, Zhou Chunli first talked with him about daily life, and only after Zhou Ming got into the car did he start talking about the space synthetic biology research project and the meeting.

"Is there something else? I don't know what it is?" Zhou Ming asked curiously. He couldn't think of anything else.

"This matter was raised by the United States yesterday, saying that it wanted to talk to us about the biotechnology research and promotion of industrial cooperation plans.

They are looking at the rapid rise of our bio-industry in Huaguo in the past year, and they want to come over to get a share of the pie, or they want to come here to be a shit-stirring stick and hinder the development of biotechnology on our side. "

Zhou Chunli explained to Zhou Ming.

“So that’s what happened, so I said what else could happen.

By the way, when you mentioned the biotechnology research and industrial cooperation plan proposed there, I remembered that Jay Kisling will bring two people to our Huaguo University of Science and Technology for an academic discussion next Tuesday.

The two people he brought were members of the CUBES..."

When Zhou Ming said this, he noticed some doubts appeared on Zhou Chunli's face, so he explained to him: "This CUBES is a research institute of the American Aeronautics and Space Administration, called Space Bioengineering Utilization Center.

I think their coming this time may also be related to the results announced by my team some time ago, and they may also want to cooperate with us. "

After hearing what Zhou Ming said, Zhou Chunli nodded and said, "It seems that their actions are quite fast. What do you think? Do you want to cooperate with them?"

"I think cooperation is okay, but our current biotechnology has surpassed them in many aspects. Even if we cooperate, we will suffer. Therefore, we can propose some conditions."

Zhou Ming expressed his thoughts.

"Conditions? What conditions?"

Hearing what Zhou Ming said, Zhou Chunli was also very interested. He thought Zhou Ming would directly refuse.

"For example, the two sides are cooperating in aerospace at the same time. In aerospace, our development time is shorter than that of the United States, and some experience and technology are not as good as others. We can take this opportunity to learn." Zhou Mingdao.

"It's impossible." As soon as Zhou Ming said it, Zhou Chunli said it was impossible.

Seeing that Zhou Chunli directly said it was impossible, Zhou Ming was also very puzzled. He looked at Zhou Chunli strangely, and asked him, "Ah? Why is it impossible?"

"Well, you probably don't know much about that.

But also, what happened at that time, you should be in high school at that time, you are young, it is normal for you not to pay attention to this aspect. "

Seeing this expression, Zhou Chunli knew that he didn't know about it. Anyway, there was still some distance from the meeting place, so he started to tell Zhou Ming about it.
