Chapter 605: Turbulent Tides
As early as when he was in China, Yang Rui thought about this speech, although the grammar of English was mediocre, his content could not be more informative.
Choosing the future of the Human Genome Project as his prophecy for the fourth part, Yang Rui was also deliberate.
First of all, the goal of his ion channel lab is the Human Genome Project, and although it is still in the planning stage and he has not revealed his ambitions to anyone, the work he has done is obvious.
Whether it's the papers on potassium ion channels, or now the interacting proteins, they are ultimately leading to the Human Genome Project. At the level of '84, he is no further away from the Human Genome Project, and he is qualified to make this prediction.
Second, Yang Rui has now touched the edge of genomics.
Genomics is one more word than genetics, but its meaning is very different.
Genomics, as an important part of the Human Genome Project, will inevitably shine after the Human Genome Project is officially launched.
And Yang Rui prepared for this as early as when he entered Peking University.
Of course, at that time, Yang Rui was just counting on the fact that after the concept of genomics was officially established, his name would appear in the founder's description.
And now, he has thrown out the concept of genomics two years in advance. This is also Yang Rui's strength in the past year, and "Cell" has given him confidence.
All in all, in the past ten months, all the research work that Yang Rui has done, except for coenzyme Q10 to make money, the rest is closely related to the human genome project.
On the one hand, this is Yang Rui's intention, on the other hand, the human genome project is also the strongest direction of biological development, and it is not easy for Yang Rui to deliberately avoid it.
But for the scholars in the audience, Yang Rui's words were not only deafening, but also bold.
The scholars who came to listen to the lectures were at least qualified to participate in the "International Genetic Congress", and they were clear about all kinds of speeches and reports, which were clearer than Yang Rui, who had only studied as a graduate student back then.
Therefore, listening to Yang Rui's speech and listening to him describe the human genome project at the most length, all scholars know what Yang Rui wants to do!
In Chinese terms, Yang Rui is equivalent to "speaking for the saint", and if the direction of the human genome project is really as he expected, then Yang Rui's status will not be said.
And if the direction of the Human Genome Project deviates from what Yang Rui said, Yang Rui will definitely receive a lot of criticism.
If the direction of the Human Genome Project has nothing to do with what Yang Rui said, it will be difficult for Yang Rui to survive in the academic world in the future.
In the eyes of scholars, this is naturally a bold act.
Yang Rui felt that the prophecy was simple and direct, and it was his sharp weapon, but scholars would not think so.
It is often not so easy to guess the development of technology.
In particular, the development of super-large projects is often disturbed by non-academic interference due to its own internal laws and trajectories, which makes scholars' judgments of projects often deviate.
In a sense, a super-large project like Guess may be more difficult than Guess the economic development.
For example, the "Apollo moon landing program" is under development, what is its future, how many people can guess?
For American scholars in '84, how many people think that the Apollo moon landing program will come to an abrupt end?
The benefits of the Apollo moon landing are clear, but the cost of the Apollo moon is well known.
It would be incorrect to say that the academic community could not influence it, and that the continuous emergence of academic results was the impetus for the Apollo moon landing, but it would also be incorrect to say that the academic community was able to decide on the Apollo moon landing, and in the final analysis, it was determined by changes in the political ecology, just as the Manhattan Project was born because of World War II.
The relationship between the Soviet Union and the United States, and the eventual development of the Soviet Union, had a greater impact on the future of the Apollo moon landing program.
As a scholar, Yang Rui tried in vain to predict the roadmap of the Human Genome Project, predict genomics, and predict precision medicine......
In the eyes of everyone, this is almost an act of looking for death.
The Human Genome Project is a project that costs billions of dollars at the beginning and tens of billions of dollars to continue.
Its development, how is it easy to predict.
Of course, the development of human genomics may be inevitable, because the lobbying of lobbyists and the interweaving of interests of all parties will eventually lead to an almost inevitable conclusion, but it is too difficult to guess this conclusion.
Yang Rui stood on the stage and swore that the invention of the PCR machine will definitely determine the development of the human genome project.
Yang Rui is not lying, the invention of the PCR machine is indeed a strong impetus for the human genome project.
It's just that no one believes it now.
In the main hall, there was a whisper of discussion.
The reporters slowly became excited.
They are not afraid that you will be ashamed, they are afraid that there will be no topic!
As Yang Rui's speech came to an end, for a while, more than a dozen reporters washed their previous laziness, tightened the microphone, and were ready to rush up at any time, and the cameraman's magnesium lights were also dazzling, at first glance, it seemed to be a red carpet catwalk.
Yang Rui looked at the people below, and he became more and more confident, and his facial expressions and even grammar became more and more relaxed.
The first and second parts of his speech were for the scholars on the scene, and the rest were for the reporters to listen to.
To compete for the right to invent PCR, we need the voice of both the academic community and the voice of society.
Of course, Yang Rui hopes that he is unfounded, and there is no competition for invention rights, which is the best.
A speech can be finished in an hour, and Yang Rui finally breathes a sigh of relief.
As long as he completes this speech in public, his previous efforts will not be lost.
The development process of PCR is similar to that of Heshi Bi in Chinese history. The expectations it received at the beginning of its creation are a thousand times different from the extent to which it ultimately attained.
It's as if someone was about to design a chisel and invented a motor.
Yang Rui doesn't expect to get the world's attention now, but it's a matter of time.
Moreover, with the urine nature of the Nobel Committee, the longer he is repressed, the deeper the degree of compensation will be.
In the final analysis, the academic world is also made up of people, and there is inevitably a tendency to queue up to eat fruits, but the threshold for the Nobel Prize is too high, so that those who can queue up are very human.
At the end of Yang Rui's speech, he was a little more relaxed, but the scholars below couldn't relax, whispering one by one, and even talking loudly.
Without waiting for the host to come on stage, he stood up and shouted, "I have a problem." ”
Not to be outdone, some people also shouted: "I have a problem too." ”
The host sent by the organizer ran up to the stage with a wry smile and said, "Please wait a moment, let's let Mr. Yang rest for a while before starting the question session." ”
It's okay if he doesn't say it, but when he says it, the people below simply discuss it themselves.
One person said: "There is some overlap between the concept of genomics and the paper of Professor Calias some time ago. ”
Next to him, at least three people would contradict him, and the rhetoric was fierce to the point of naming names.
Standing in front of the main entrance, the female reporter of the "New York Herald" who was very interested in Yang Rui looked at Yang Rui with concern, feeling that a young man like him might not be able to withstand such a surging criticism.
Unexpectedly, Yang Rui's movements and expressions did not change.
Instead, Yang Rui took advantage of the rest time to drink water and observe the others.
He also thought about the current situation.
In any case, it is a prophecy, and anyone can judge it until it is fulfilled, and, unlike criticism of a general nature, criticizing a prophecy, even if the prophecy is ultimately true, does not have much responsibility.
What's so strange about scientific hypotheses being questioned?
And from the audience's point of view, they really have too many reasons to ask Yang Rui questions - the so-called too many slots.
There are even those who worry that they will not be able to ask questions. People always have vanity, seeing so many long guns and short cannons, many of which are still big media from New York, if Yang Rui can ask, he will be famous.
Even on the side of the Chinese delegation, there are scholars who are eager to try. In front of so many scholars and the media, if Yang Rui can be defeated, he may be able to get a visiting professor at an American university, and then return to China in a few years, and I don't know how far he will go.
Team leader Zhang Hongjun also saw the danger, and while complaining about Yang Rui in his heart, he persuaded everyone: "Let's Chinese don't fight Chinese, pay attention to international influence......
Professor Hu couldn't help laughing: "Yang Rui himself wants to find a fight, if we don't fight, someone will always fight." ”
"In short, the Chinese do not fight the Chinese, everyone goes out, and they must consider the country and the people." Zhang Hongjun was anxious to be a political commissar, and the rest of his eyes were still looking for Ganica, for fear that the American would be unhappy and give up the purchase.
