reborn in the fiery age

No one responded, Sun Zujie shook his head, and was about to leave when suddenly the door opened, and it was not Zhou Qiong who came out, but an old lady of the United States.

Sun Zujie hurried forward to communicate, only to realize that Zhou Qiong belongs to the type who leaves early and returns late, and must stay in the laboratory during the day. The aunt told Sun Zujie that it is best to go to Caltech.

Sun Zujie thought for a while, and then drove to Dubeck's laboratory where Zhou Qiong was.After he explained his purpose to the guard, he called the laboratory.

It was the beginning of [-]. Dubek was looking at the reports of his researchers in the laboratory. With the invention and application of PCR, he found that biology would soon enter a period of rapid development, and the breath of the gene age was already on his face. come.

Last year, there were hundreds of papers on genetic research using PCR, and by this year, there should be an explosive growth. At this time, he had already produced a bold scientific research idea in his mind, maybe it was time to convince the US imperial government It's time.

He slowly turned to SHIRLYZHOU's report, which was quite well written, and it turned out to be a good paper after some revisions.It took less than a year for this lovely and beautiful Huaguo girl to become the backbone of the laboratory from being uncomfortable at the beginning to being at ease now.

It's just that the only shortcoming of this girl is that she is too serious. She only knows about scientific research and spends all day in the laboratory, but she doesn't care about her private life. She doesn't even have a boyfriend. This makes him a romantic Italian. People are very uncomfortable.

Of course, as a beneficiary, he does not object to Shirly's hard work and hard work, but it would be even better if she could accept the pursuit of some boys and smile often.

Just when Professor Dubeck was dreaming, the phone rang, and the guard told him that a person from China wanted to see Zhou, and his name was Zujie Sun.

The doorman called Dubek's office directly, because Dubek hated outsiders' visits during work, so he once told the doorman to keep all unimportant people out of the door.

But who is important and who is not is up to one of his associate professors to decide.But today it just so happened that the associate professor had gone out, so the doorman had no choice but to call his office directly.

Dubek was stunned when he heard Sun Zujie's name, and soon figured out who it was. Dubek thought for a while and instructed the guard to take Sun to his office.

Sun Zujie left the guard and driver behind, and he entered the laboratory with the guard.Dubek's office is on the third floor. After he got out of the elevator, he unexpectedly found an old man with white hair waiting for him at the door of the elevator.

"Hi, Sun, I'm Professor Dubeck, Shiry's tutor."

Sun Zujie had a lot of contact with these experts, so he used to say, "Hello, professor, it's an honor to meet you."

Dubek said with a smile, "Zhou is still doing experiments, you need to wait a bit, so I take the liberty of wanting to see you first, so I don't bother you."

"Of course don't bother, you are too polite."

The two exchanged a few more words, and Professor Dubek said straight to the point, "I once asked shirly about the details of the PCR invention. Your wisdom is really amazing. I think you should be a scientific researcher, and If you are not an official of a red country, that would be a waste of your talent."

Sun Zujie couldn't help but blush, "Professor, you are too generous."

Seeing Sun Zujie like this, Professor Dubeck said with a smile, "Although I don't like Edison's personality, I like his words very much. Genius is 90.00% inspiration and [-]% sweat.

But that one percent of inspiration is the most important, even more important than that 90.00 percent of sweat.Apparently you're that one percent genius.

Shirly also recognized this very much, saying that you are a rare genius. "

Sun Zujie shook his head helplessly, his face flushed, "Dear professor, I will feel ashamed if you praise me so much."

After hearing this, Dubek laughed, "Sun, don't worry, anyone who contributes to science should be rewarded. It doesn't matter where you are from or what your status is."

Sun Zujie looked at Professor Dubeck inexplicably, not knowing what he meant.Seeing his blank expression, Professor Dubeck suddenly burst out laughing, making Sun Zujie even more confused.

Although Sun Zujie knew that PCR would win the Nobel Prize in the future, he never thought that it had anything to do with him.The authors of the key paper on PCR at the beginning were Qian, Zhou, and Liu, and the corresponding authors were Huatou Research Institute and the Department of Biology of Jingshi University.

So in Sun Zujie's impression, if there is a chance to win an award in the future, it must be the three of them, Qian Zhou and Liu, or even Qian alone.No matter which one it is, it is the pride of China.

As for the corresponding author, it only explains the ownership of the unit or the scientific research project, which is also a relatively consistent understanding in the scientific research field in Huaguo.

But Sun Zujie didn't know that in Europe and the United States, because of the emphasis on originality, they often pay more attention to corresponding authors, thinking that they are the real soul and initiator of scientific research.

This is currently the biggest problem surrounding PCR. The three authors of the paper all admitted that the idea came from Huatou Research Institute, more precisely from Sun Zujie.

Then according to the usual practice, the relevant reward should be awarded to the main person in charge of the first corresponding author, so it should be awarded to Sun Zujie. The problem is that he is not in this circle at all. He is actually a business leader in Huaguo. Wonderful.

Scientists in Europe and the United States didn’t think highly of Huaguo. Huaguo scientists have always been unrecognized, let alone Huaguo officials who have little contact with this circle, so I originally wanted to give some awards to PCR, because of this The problem was given to someone else.

But not everyone thinks this way. For example, Professor Dubeck believes that many discriminations are unreasonable and should be reformed and treated equally.

That's why he expressed support for Sun Zujie's very clear aspect, but after seeing Sun Zujie's inexplicable expression, he couldn't help but find it very funny. We have argued for you for countless times, but you still don't know anything, it's so funny.

So he asked with a smile, "Sun, how would you rate your contribution to the invention of PCR?"

"I just brought up an idea. It's like Da Vinci drew a picture of a helicopter. If the invention of PCR is to be rewarded, I think it should be rewarded to those who realize it."

Professor Dubek shook his head after listening, "Sun, without your thinking, no one knows when PCR will be invented, so you are the most important one.

But now too many people ignore your contribution because of all kinds of discrimination. This should not be done. You are the one who should be rewarded the most.So I have decided to nominate you as a candidate for the [-] Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research. "

After listening, Sun Zujie stood up suddenly, pointed at himself and said inconceivably, "Professor Dubeck, you are right, I am not a scientist, how can I be nominated for the Lasker Award, how is this possible? How is it possible? "

Seeing Sun Zujie's unbelievable expression, Dubek was overjoyed. He patted the table and laughed.After laughing for a while, the old man calmed down, he restrained his smile, and said to Sun Zujie seriously, "Sun, you heard me right, I am indeed going to nominate you, this is the honor you deserve.

Science is science, and your contribution deserves this award, it's that simple, it has nothing to do with race, country, or occupation. "

Chapter 234 Goodbye Zhou Qiong

Professor Dubek's statement made Sun Zujie very disturbed, so when he saw Zhou Qiong, he was still in a trance.

When Zhou Qiong saw Sun Zujie come to see her, she still looked as cold as ice on the surface, showing no reaction at all.There are always some American emperors who make exaggerated confessions, which makes it difficult for her to accept. In desperation, she can only put on a cold look.

Slowly staying in the United States for a long time, she has become accustomed to a cold expression all day long, so this time when she saw Sun Zujie, although she was very excited, she immediately suppressed the complex emotions in her heart unconsciously.

It's just that she was a little surprised when she saw that Sun Zujie was a little distracted. Although she didn't speak, her face was full of question marks.

Sun Zujie asked anxiously, "What did you say to your mentor, Professor Dubeck, why did he suddenly nominate me for the Lasker Award?"

Zhou Qiong heard Sun Zujie's first sentence was this, and hummed a little bit dissatisfied, and gave him a blank look, "It's not about PCR, I came to the US emperor to know how much foreign countries value that invention.

On the day I came, the instructor asked about our research and development process in detail, and of course I told the truth.Fortunately, I didn't listen to you at the beginning, otherwise the few of us wouldn't be able to hang out in academia in the future. "

Sun Zujie was a little puzzled, "Isn't it all done by you, why should I be rewarded? It's really inexplicable. And what about the Lasker Award, which sounds like a medical award? If I was really awarded an award, wouldn't it be a mess? , then what do you do?"

Zhou Qiong knew that Sun Zujie was not engaged in scientific research after all, so his way of thinking was different from that of scientists, so she thought about the wording, and then said, "Zu Jie, foreign countries pay more attention to scientific research creativity, so relevant awards will only be awarded You, not the three of us.

No matter what award you have won, you just go and receive it. At first it was the three of us, and then you transferred five or six people, otherwise we would not have achieved results so quickly.

If it is said who is most qualified to represent our group to win the prize, I think you are more suitable. Without you, the rest of us would not be able to do PCR.

As for the Lasker Award, it is normal for people not in related majors to not know it. This is one of the highest awards in the medical field of the United States; if you really win the Lasker Award, it means that you are very likely to win the Nobel Prize prize. "

Seeing Sun Zujie's dumbfounded expression, Zhou Qiong suddenly covered her mouth and laughed like a flower. She smiled and said, "Great genius, I can't think of it. My supervisor has already said that PCR is a scientific achievement of the Nobel Prize level. "

After Sun Zujie listened, he felt sweat on his forehead, he was a little crazy, this time the joke was too big.It's a little exaggerated to deceive the world and steal his name to such an extent.

The most important thing is that he remembers very clearly that the inventor of PCR did win the Nobel Prize. If he is really awarded, what will happen then?

Zhou Qiong finally saw Sun Zujie showing unprecedented panic, suddenly burst into laughter, then felt a little out of control, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands, but her constantly shrugging shoulders and heaving chest She still showed her excitement.

Sun Zujie calmed down slowly. Seeing that Zhou Qiong was still overjoyed, he touched his nose helplessly and said, "Laugh if you want to. Why cover your mouth?"

Zhou Qiong couldn't help it, let go of her hand, and laughed for a while, tears came out, she smiled and wiped her tears, and said, "Haha, Zu Jie, haha, you are so interesting.
