"It's a good idea to use guò cloning technology to understand potassium channels, you say guò rodents and human cloning? Is it cloning cells?" Richard looked thoughtful.

"It's enough to clone a gene, to clone a mutated gene fragment...... You can also use RNA as a probe ......" Yang Rui briefly described the prospect and said: "This is my view on the future development trend of potassium channels......

Richard thought while drinking tea, and let Yang Rui talk for a long time before he turned his head to look at Professor Wang and said with a smile: "You said just now, he is still a student, right? ”

"Where, where. Professor Wang humbled himself.

Richard turned his head and said to Yang Rui: "You have a good idea, have you started writing a thesis?" Well, if you need help, you can bring it up, I still know some people in several foundations, and I can solve some financial problems." ”

Yang Rui was stunned, thanked him and said, "I'm not very ready to contact foreign foundations. ”

"Why?" Richard said in surprise: "Genes are often free, they are generally for the purpose of promoting scientific research, very similar to your country's scientific research funds, but the funds come from abroad, you don't have to have a psychological burden because of this." ”

Yang Rui frowned, thinking: Where is the Foundation as good as you say.

Foreigners' foundations are usually very generous, but their conditions are often strange, such as obtaining patents, such as working according to requirements, and you have to sign corresponding contracts when you use their money. For example, the whale shark raised by Bill Gates must have a scientific research team working behind it. Keeping a giant sea creature more than 10 meters in size at home is much more difficult than keeping a tropical fish in a tank.

It is conceivable that Bill Gates would use the foundation's money to pay for the research team, or rather, to fund their research, even if only for tax avoidance.

For researchers, unfamiliar foundations are quite risky, especially for early-stage entrepreneurs and researchers, who do not have a strong team behind them and a smart lawyer, and will be very troublesome when they encounter problems.

It may be difficult for any pre-entrepreneur or researcher to win a lawsuit against Bill Gates, especially when he has donated all his money to the foundation, and the foundation is completely under his control.

However, Yang Rui did not refute Richard on the spot, and said with a smile: "I heard some bad rumors, besides, I haven't determined the funds needed for the thesis or something......

Richard laughed and said, "You don't need to know how much money you need, it's all about how you get as much money as possible, right, you wait, I'll give you a few business cards, and you can contact them." ”

Yang Rui's right eye jumped, and he suddenly felt that he had said too much, and in the case of uncertainty, he took advantage of Richard's departure and asked in Chinese: "Professor Wang, what do you think of the research direction I said?" Have you ever read such literature?"

Wang Yong was happy to hear it, and said: "It seems that Richard likes it, don't worry about right or wrong, the direction judgment can't say right or wrong, maybe both roads are right, maybe both roads are wrong."

Wang Yong thought he was worried about Richard's next question, so he recalled and said, "I didn't notice that there were papers on cloning and potassium channels, where did you see it? ”

"I guess I've seen something like that and thought of something for myself. Yang Rui recalled the conversation just now, and secretly summed up the lesson: When it comes to things that are not very sure of the age in the future, you must be cautious in your words and deeds.

Richard came back and smiled and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Yang Rui asked me ...... just now"

Yang Rui interrupted Professor Wang's words and said, "I am going to write a paper on cloning technology and potassium channels, I just asked Professor Wang if he has read similar literature, and if he is sure that he does not, my paper will be sent soon." ”

Richard was stunned for a moment and asked, "In such a hurry?"

"I'm not in a hurry, since there are no predecessors doing research in this area, I think I can do it. Yang Rui's English is relatively slow, but the meaning is very clear.

Richard handed out a few business cards to Yang Rui and said, "This is a big project, and it's best to find some foundations to fund it." ”

"I'll think about it. ”

"Be sure to think about it. ”

"Yes. ”

After a pause, Richard took the tea again and said, "Actually, I carefully considered the gene cloning you said, as well as the proposition of potassium channel, I think it can be corrected somewhat......"

"If you don't mind, Mr. Richard, I would like to complete my dissertation independently. Yang Rui moved his buttocks and said something of refusal, which made the two professors stunned.

He was really going to write a paper on it. Therefore, he was not prepared to discuss it with Richard anymore, lest the idea become common property.

Yang Rui wasn't sure if he had said too many things in advance, he had a lot of things in his head, but they weren't comprehensive, but no matter what, he wouldn't give them to others, let alone an American, because of this.

The study of potassium channels through guò gene cloning is a popular way in the future, usually cloning the mutant genes of potassium channels in small organisms such as fruit flies, so as to fully understand the role of potassium channels.

It can be said that this approach is a milestone in the study of potassium channel genes, and furthermore, any kind of ion channel research can be done in a similar way, so the combination of cloning technology and potassium channel research has produced a revolutionary change in the field of ion channels.

Gene cloning is not easy, but it's not as difficult as people think. Of course, there is still a considerable technical threshold for cloning Dolly sheep in 1984, but the threshold for cloning only some gene fragments and cloning a mutant gene is not particularly high.

Although Yang Rui's current conditions are not enough to get involved in the period, it is still good to write a paper.

If this direction has already been pointed out, there is not much point in writing a similar cutting-edge article now. At first, Yang Rui thought that this was the case, so he said it without hesitation.

However, since none of the biology professors at the University of California, Berkeley, have spied on this, Yang Rui has the idea of cherishing himself.

Generally speaking, only the industry leaders can write such papers, and if young people write them and are recognized by the industry leaders, it often means that they are ready to be in the position of big bulls.

Not to mention anything else, the impact factor of Hula Hula can make people fly.

And Yang Rui now, what he needs most is impact factor and influence.

Therefore, although he did not write a word, he still said that he had a paper first, so as to break Richard's thoughts.

Richard is also a very smart person, belonging to the role of others who warp their butts, and know whether you want to fart or shit, as soon as he heard Yang Rui's words, his face changed, and he said: "If you are worried that I will plagiarize your ideas, you don't need to worry at all, I have my own work to do, Professor Wang, if there is nothing else, I want to go back to work." ”

After saying that, Richard put down that he hadn't finished drinking the black tea and stood up.

Wang Yong has already looked stupid.

After a while, the relationship between the two made Wang Yong incomprehensible.

However, Wang Yong still habitually made movements, waved his hand again and again, and said, "No, no, Professor Richard...... Young people are not sensible, don't be angry, how dare he doubt you, this is normal academic communication, he just used the wrong words. ”

The University of California, Berkeley is an excellent school, and if you count by the ranking, it should be in the top 50 in the world and the top 20 in the United States, which is much higher than Peking University and Tsinghua University. Therefore, it would be advantageous for Peking University to be able to invite Professor Richard to China as a visiting WÈN scholar, regardless of the latter's purpose.

Professor Wang Yong also shared some dividends that exceeded his own level because of his relationship with Richard, such as brand-new real equipment and super-standard real funds, even because the leaders of Peking University wanted to show foreign professors the good side, Wang Yong also got the actual benefits, so he also paid attention to maintaining the relationship with Richard.

Of course, even if there is no interest relationship, just to not lose face in front of foreigners, Wang Yong will take Richard seriously.

Seeing that Richard was angry, Wang Yong couldn't help jumping to his feet, slightly calmed Richard, he called Yang Rui again, hated iron and steel and said in Chinese: "They are all college students, why are they still so naughty? Apologize to Professor Richard, don't talk nonsense, do you know?"

Looking at Yang Rui's eyes, Wang Yong said angrily and worriedly: "Professor Richard is a visiting scholar that the dean attaches great importance to, we are now the façade of Peking University, you make Professor Richard angry, what good is it for yourself? Let people sue the family, it's not that you can't eat and walk around, why are you so ignorant, I call you here to give you a chance, not to let you come to cause trouble, what are you thinking in your head......

Yang Rui pretended to be repentant, and said: You can't hurt people, you can't have the heart to defend people, you say it's right? If he gets angry, he can get angry, and I can apologize, but I can't give him my own things. ”

Wang Yong was angry and amused, and said: "You know that people are angry and say that, the professor of the University of California, Berkeley, what kind of idea do you need? You can't say that we haven't heard of this idea, so no one has done research, right? Maybe it's a dead end? All in all, you can't say a few words and guess that people have sinister intentions." Isn't that nonsense, and nothing to make people laugh?"

But he wasn't smiling. Yang Rui also used Chinese, and said quickly and seriously: "Like you said, a young student like me, what is wrong, should have laughed it off, can it be used so strictly?

Wang Yong was a little stunned at this moment.
