Chapter 251 Stepping In to Take the Blame (Please Subscribe)

"Yuan Weihong, how do you plan to arrange and plan the follow-up research on this animal model?" Du Mao asked Yuan Weihong after confirming that the current results were trending in a positive direction.

Clearly, Yuan Weihong currently holds the initiative.

Fang Ziye was merely repeating what Yuan Weihong had done before, and then achieving the same result that Yuan Weihong had failed to do. Clearly, it is difficult for anyone else to replace him at present.

However, as a professor in the field of animal experimentation, Du Mao felt that he should be interested in developing new animal experimental models.

The new animal experimental model is not only a blueprint for scientific research, but also a blueprint for the development of experimental centers, promoting the integration of research and development with enterprises.

The animal experiment center of Zhongnan Hospital is clearly capable of establishing its own biotechnology company.

"We don't know yet. Let's do it first, get the results, and then conduct further research," Yuan Weihong said.

A new animal experimental model is like a blank sheet of paper. You can write and draw on it however you like, and it can be something new. It just depends on which direction you want to strive in and what aspects of an individual are affected by knocking out the HK2 gene.

These can all be done gradually later.

If your research group can have its own unique animal experimental models, it is obviously an extremely valuable asset.

Animal models are different from cell lines; you can't just reproduce them quickly once you obtain a mature cell line.

Animal models are difficult to mass-produce in the short term.

"So, Weihong, all you're thinking about is getting it done first, without considering any follow-up!" Du Mao asked, as if he were implying something.

"Perhaps that's part of the reason, Professor Du."

“It’s not shameful.” Yuan Weihong didn’t reply directly, but looked at the two pregnant mouse mothers again, feeling particularly close to them.

I just hope they can deliver their babies smoothly, and then produce the animal models they want.

The chances are currently very high.

Du Mao didn't reply, so Yuan Weihong pleaded again:

"Professor Du, I hope you can help look after things for a while. Ziye also has his own things to do in Enshi, so it's inconvenient for him to stay here all the time. Although I have a student who will also be coming, he's not a professional after all," Yuan Weihong pleaded.

"That's for sure. Even if you hadn't said anything, I would have come."

Du Mao looked at the group of animals, stroked his chin, and said, "The scientific, economic, and economic significance and value of such new animal models compels me to come and see them."

"After all, Yuan Weihong, as you know, there aren't many biotech companies that can assemble new animal models at present."

"As for companies that want to obtain a particularly intuitive epigenetic type like HK2 knockout, there are probably no laboratories in the world that have made progress in this direction, or have made progress but have not succeeded."

As Du Mao spoke, Fang Ziye and Yuan Weihong both realized that Du Mao had put aside his so-called status and interests, and was now purely focused on scientific research to discuss the issue.

"There isn't one right now, Professor Du. If there were, I definitely wouldn't have bothered with this before." Yuan Weihong blushed.

Everyone has dreamed of becoming rich overnight.

If in reality, many people buy lottery tickets hoping to get rich overnight, then in the field of scientific research, some people think about creating a breakthrough that transcends current technological limitations, thus achieving a leap forward.

Right now, if this step can be taken successfully!
Such a result transcends the existence of the journal's impact factor and is considered pioneering in the relevant field.

Impact factor and publications alone are not sufficient to directly assess the value of scientific research.

In terms of practical value, the current progress is in the basics, not in application, and therefore will not be particularly significant.

“Yuan Weihong, I think you should consider this: under the name of our hospital’s animal experiment center, we can combine research and development with enterprise cooperation. You can contribute your patents as equity. What if there are a lot of teams that need such animal models?”

"This is a very clean fee for your hard work." Du Mao and Yuan Weihong chatted for a while and the conversation eventually turned to making money.

……

But finally, Du Mao brought up the real business.

"Yuan Weihong, do you think your senior brother Ma will use other methods to get you to transfer this project to his name again this time?" Du Mao asked jokingly.

The fact that Yuan Weihong was able to ask Professor Du Mao to come and help check on the progress of the experiment shows that they have a good relationship.

Yuan Weihong's expression gradually calmed down. He shook his head and said casually, "I don't know, it's not important. Just do your own thing."

“But what about you two? Your current research directions are conflicting. Unless one of you changes direction, it’s bound to be a fight between two tigers, and one of you will be injured,” Du Mao said.

"Let's see who gets hurt in the end. Anyway, we're definitely going to do it, we've already gone this far!" Yuan Weihong said.

"Then aren't you afraid that this time, the rest of your sect will fall without any foundation?" Du Mao asked.

"If I fall again this time, then I deserve it!" Yuan Weihong said calmly, as if he had already let go of many things.

"Teacher Du, it's been eight years, the War of Resistance against Japan has already been won, why bother with so much, right?" Yuan Weihong still asked uncertainly.

Du Mao looked at Yuan Weihong: "Half of you are finding joy in hardship, and the other half you are pretending to be crazy. I don't know if you are really arrogant or if all of this is just superficial."

"However, I'm sure you've prepared very well this time!"

While Du Mao and Yuan Weihong were chatting, Fang Ziye stood by, listening quietly without moving. After about ten minutes, they ended the conversation again.

Yuan Weihong invited Professor Du Mao to dinner, but Du Mao politely declined, saying that it was inconvenient for him to go out at the moment.

Du Mao refused, but Fang Ziye and Yuan Weihong still needed to eat. Outside, there was also a pitiful Lan Tianluo sitting in the security room by the entrance, guarding the luggage while doing something else.

When Lan Tianluo finally saw his master and senior brother return, he immediately asked, "Master, senior brother, how did it go?"

Yuan Weihong gave Lan Tianluo an OK sign, while Fang Ziye nodded to Lan Tianluo.

"Nice!" Lan Tianluo saw it and immediately gave a thumbs-up with his elbow.

Then, pushing his large suitcase, he followed his master and senior brother to eat.

……

Yuan Weihong was clearly in a very good mood during the meal.

How good is it?

That is, three people in one private room.

Then there's a dog meat hot pot, a chicken hot pot, a mutton hot pot, a beef hot pot, an eel hot pot, and a snake meat hot pot.

Three people, six pots, the main focus is on spending money!
The waiter knocked on the door and asked, "Boss, are you three going to order too much food? How about this: if you want to eat more dishes, I suggest you share a hot pot and order half a person's portion of each type of meat."

Yuan Weihong was quite agitated, but he said in a very low-key manner, "Thank you. The three of us can all eat quite a lot. Just go ahead and bring it on, I'll pay for it."

"Today we'll focus on eating meat and skip the staple foods."

"Bring another half case of beer," Yuan Weihong instructed the waiter to prepare.

He just wanted to spend some money, so besides this, Yuan Weihong couldn't think of anything else to express his goodwill towards Fang Ziye.

On many occasions before, Fang Ziye had made Yuan Weihong feel better and in a good mood.

On several previous occasions, these experiences propelled Yuan Weihong's career forward, allowing him to accumulate knowledge and skills rapidly.

But this time, it's different from every time before.

This time, Yuan Weihong could directly use what Fang Ziye had taken out to 'take revenge,' or rather, to cut off Ma's escape route.

"Sorry, it's best if one of us leaves this place, otherwise one of us will have to die in the end. I'm going to be right in front of you now."

All basic experiments inevitably involve animal experiments.

Fang Ziye's current animal experiments are the final destination of many animal experiments, and also the beginning of another new world.

"Master, even if we can eat it, we probably can't finish it all, right?" Although Lan Tianluo was very hungry, he was also a little worried about wasting food, considering that his master had ordered six pots.

"If you can't finish it, just leave it in the pot. It's not like you'll get too full, so why are you in such a hurry?"

“We don’t waste food all the time. If you don’t say anything, and I don’t say anything, we just pretend we’ve eaten it all. Good days should be celebrated and we should have some fun,” Yuan Weihong said.

Yuan Weihong is a teacher, so his word is law.

Fang Ziye wasn't concerned about the quantity of dishes, but instead asked, "Master, Professor Deng Yong will likely lead this animal experiment project in the end, right?"

If Fang Ziye remembered correctly, his senior mentor, Ma, was currently a senior associate professor and a professional full professor.

These are the professional titles of chief physician, associate professor, and senior researcher.

Currently, in Professor Deng Yong's group, only Deng Yong can be said to have a clear advantage over Senior Brother Ma in terms of professional title!

"Of course, Professor Deng Yong led this project."

"The idea for this research project came from Professor Zheng Tonghui of the Third People's Hospital of Hubei Province," Yuan Weihong suddenly said with conviction.

"Huh? Master, what does this have to do with the Third People's Hospital?" Lan Tianluo was confused at first.

Fang Ziye's defense was not particularly relevant to him, so he no longer remembered that the professor who asked Fang Ziye the difficult question was a professor from the Third People's Hospital of Hubei Province, and he had even forgotten the professor's name.

After all, half a year has passed, and it has nothing to do with me, so why would he remember his name?

Fang Ziye's eyes lit up. He looked at his teacher, sniffed, and asked, "Master, is Professor Zheng Tonghui his teacher?"

"Hey, since he asked this question during your master's thesis defense, and it hasn't been that long, he can't escape responsibility. That's one of the causes and effects!"

"How can you make things difficult for someone and then just run away?"

"Anyway, when the time comes, our reason to the outside world will be that the inspiration came from Professor Zheng Tonghui." Yuan Weihong has already found people to take the blame and make excuses, and they are all full professors.

Taking the blame has its advantages, but being the scapegoat is completely innocent.
