Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

"Professor Yang, let's talk as we walk." Mr. Zheng has met Yang Rui several times, and he is a relatively familiar young man in the scientific community.

When he needs to make scientific decisions, he occasionally consults Yang Rui for opinions, and of course, most of the time he passes them through documents.

Yang Rui smiled at the accompanying CCTV officials and said, "I didn't mean to disturb, but I think the latest news about the laboratory should be reported immediately."

"Well, is everything going well?" Mr. Zheng's first thought was the same as Yang Rui's, whether something happened.

Unlike researchers who think about laboratory accidents so easily, ordinary people are still quite worried about laboratories, especially biological laboratories.

Accidents have very serious circumstances, even for senior officials.

For example, the chemical plant accident in India in the 1970s gave them a lot of "limelight" internationally.

Fortunately, Yang Rui's expression was relaxed, and Mr. Zheng didn't have to think too deeply.

Yang Rui looked to both sides and said, "I don't know if you remember, I once requested a larger research project as the No. 1 project of the genetic engineering laboratory."

"Of course I have an impression. You asked for a lot of money." Mr. Zheng laughed.

In terms of the total amount of funds, the most expensive thing in China now is infrastructure construction, followed by factory renewal. The so-called infrastructure madman is not for nothing. For example, the Gezhouba project was world-class in the 1980s. Although There are still projects such as the Three Gorges that surpass it, but just because the later records are more exaggerated, it doesn't matter that the previous records don't matter.

Compared with infrastructure spending, China's military spending is nothing, and research funding is naturally on the lower side. It can't be said that everyone knows about the tens of millions of yuan allocated to Yang Rui, and everyone involved has heard of it.

Yang Rui chuckled twice, and then said seriously: "The money is not wasted, we made it."

"Yo? Have you made achievements? Not bad, not bad, science and education to rejuvenate the country, is to promote science and education, and CCTV should also do more interviews and reports in this regard." Mr. Zheng did not let the two sides Escorts are too lonely.

"Affirmative." The CCTV cadre next to him hurriedly expressed his opinion, and smiled at Yang Rui: "We have been tracking Professor Yang's research, and we will continue to track it in the future..."

Yang Rui nodded in cooperation, and then said: "If you only make a part, I dare not delay your schedule."

"Huh. Did you make it?" Mr. Zheng knew what Yang Rui was doing.

Yang Rui nodded solemnly. He had confirmed it repeatedly just now, and said without hesitation at this time: "As expected, we have completed it, and the project can be declared a success. However, I"

Elder Zheng stopped walking at a very even pace.

If the few cadres who followed behind were not arrested, there would have been problems at that time.

"Well, find a meeting room with a telephone, and Yang Rui will follow me first." Mr. Zheng said to the CCTV people, but fortunately, some cadres who were in a daze reacted quickly.

"Come to my office, there is a confidential phone number." The leader of the director's team immediately stepped forward to open the way, and when he arrived at the place, he was pulled out again.

Elder Zheng and Yang Rui entered one after the other, closing the door tightly.

The leader who was shut outside the door glanced back and said in a low voice: "Secret Huang, is the visit still going on?"

"Of course." Secretary Huang said: "The time may be shortened, but the itinerary will not change."

"I see, I'm going to reschedule the rehearsal program..."

"Don't bother, the rehearsal is as usual." Secretary Huang's answer immediately made several people feel distressed.

In the room, Elder Zheng's expression was not relaxed.

If you want to explain the meaning of "cloning sheep" to a person outside the academic circle, you can explain it in one sentence: cloning human beings is no longer technically difficult.

Yes, the real significance of cloning a sheep is that it is the first mammal to be cloned. Before that, humans have cloned microorganisms, cloned invertebrates, cloned various fish and amphibians...

but,

Cloning of mammals, and somatic cell cloning, is the first and most worrying.

Crossing this threshold and reaching the difficulty of human cloning is nothing more than spending some money and time. If you want a figure, a well-equipped genetics laboratory with tens of millions of dollars in funding and a few years will definitely be able to make human clones.

Some people may say that tens of millions of dollars is not a lot, and a few years is not short, and how much is it and how many years?

Exactly how much is not important, what needs to be paid attention to at this moment is the issue of order of magnitude.

Tens of millions of dollars is a lot of money for any single laboratory, but it is nothing for a project that the world cares about.

If there were no restrictions on ethics and public opinion, any radio, television station or film company might be willing to pay to make a human clone.

Before the appearance of cloned sheep, everyone did not know how long it would take to cross this line.

From the perspective of hindsight, many people probably think that cloning sheep is a matter of course. However, science does not work like this.

Mammal to mammal is taken for granted, amphibian to mammal is not.

Just like the nuclear fission reactor after the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb, it is taken for granted. However, many people happily believe that nuclear fusion is coming soon, human beings are about to enter an era of extremely abundant energy, and the material cornerstone of communism is almost completed. Nuclear fusion has been nurtured by huge sums of money for decades, but it is still far away.

The same example is the moon landing program. After the 1970s, there are countless literary works imagining Mars landing and alien colonization. People naturally think that if you land on the moon, you can land on Mars, and if you land on Mars, you can colonize aliens...

However, everyone knows the result.

The same is true for cloning sheep. If no one completes the cloning of mammals, it is difficult to say whether the cloning of mammals will be successful.

Maybe it will be done in 10 years, maybe it won't be seen in 50 years.

Especially the cloned sheep made of somatic cells, the so-called real clone, no one dares to guarantee it before it is done.

Maybe it's impossible to do it?

It is also difficult for scholars to give a definite answer. A few decades ago, scholars still believed that they could find ether. What happened?

The same example can be given for frozen humans and head transplants, if they succeed, people will congratulate them like artificial heart replacements: I just knew it.

If it fails, people... nobody knows the name of the loser.

Yang Rui also came to be a cloned sheep with the fear of failure.

The loss of failure is huge, and the meaning of success breaks through the sky.

This is true for scholars as well as for officials.

"Professor Yang, what is your next plan?" Elder Zheng asked Yang Rui first.

"I don't think human cloning should be tried." Yang Rui knew what he meant, and said without hesitation: "The ethical problem is too serious. Next, I think we should consider how to notify the countries and the scientific community."
