I really just want to be a scholar

At the same time, Qin Ke was reviewing the experimental equipment purchase application form sent by Wei Xueming in the "Xiaowo No. [-]" self-study room.

The scale of the lime plant cultivation laboratory is not large, but it was originally the seed laboratory of Maoqing Seed Industry Group. The experimental equipment is relatively complete, but it has been established for more than 20 years, and most of the equipment are of older models. It is older and has a high failure rate. Now that Qin Ke wants to strengthen the research on plant DNA, he naturally needs to purchase related new equipment. He asked Wei Xueming to study it and apply for equipment procurement.

According to Wei Xueming, the head of the laboratory, if the company has sufficient funds, he hopes to purchase some important key equipment to replace some of the old equipment that is seriously aging, outdated in performance, and has a high failure rate.

Therefore, this purchase list is divided into two parts. The first part is the experimental equipment needed for plant dna research, including high-speed centrifuge, ultra-micro ultraviolet spectrophotometer, automatic magnetic bead purification instrument, sample purifier, and pcr Thermal cyclers, pipettes and pipetting tips, etc., as well as some experimental materials, such as agarose gel electrophoresis, rna extraction kits, plant dna kits, etc., most of the equipment needs to be imported.

The second part is the old and important equipment to be replaced, including optical microscopes, microscopic imaging systems, stereo microscopes, cryostats, tissue slicers, chlorophyll analyzers, etc., especially microscopes and imaging systems, a complete set of replacements , the cost is close to 10 million yuan, and this is not the most advanced model with the best performance.

In just one page, the equipment and instruments in the above two parts, together with taxes and fees, add up to nearly 70 million.

Qin Ke couldn't help sighing, no wonder the poor can't afford a laboratory, just a small plant cultivation laboratory is a gold-eating beast, and if he wants to build a physics laboratory and material laboratory in the future, it will be even more astronomical , and currently Lime Technology only has [-] to [-] million working capital after building the computer room, which is obviously not enough.

But the meal needs to be eaten bite by bite, so Qin Ke decided to perfect his first laboratory—the lime plant cultivation laboratory.

A mere 70 million, Qin Ke can still take it out at any time, and it must be taken out.

The patented technology of five new tomato seeds alone brought Lime Technology a licensing fee of 20 million and an 8% sales share fee. The funds invested in the Lime Plant Cultivation Laboratory can be fully recovered. This and make a lot of money.

Of course, Qin Ke can also find a relationship to rent experimental equipment from Qingmu University or even the Xiaguo Biological Society, but it is related to an important topic such as the new desert sweet potato that may affect the world structure. device of.

Qin Ke simply asked Ning Qingjun for his opinion, and Ning Qingyun also had the same opinion, so Qin Ke replied an email, agreed to the procurement budget, and sent a copy to Zhou Shutao, asking Zhou Shutao to arrange the procurement and negotiation matters .

——Now all the computers in Lime Technology Company are installed with the original Lime operating system developed by Qin Ke, and the internal communication is through a special vpn encrypted line. Even the mail system is also developed by Qin Ke, and each mail needs a retina \/Voiceprint authentication confirms the identity before sending, and the whole process of security protection is carried out by Shimmer, which is basically regarded as the world's top security level, so you don't have to worry about intrusion, fake identity, and data leakage.

...

But after all, it involved the flow of nearly [-] million funds. After Qin Ke sent the email, he still called Zhou Shutao to inform him of the task.

[In other words, reading aloud and listening to books is currently the best, Yeguo Reading, install the latest version of .yeguoyuedu. 】

Zhou Shutao said that he would contact Wei Xueming immediately to follow up on the matter, and reminded that most of the equipment marked in the list must be imported, which would involve a lot of customs declaration and approval procedures. It is estimated that all the equipment will finally arrive and be installed, which may take about a year.

Qin Ke frowned. He couldn't wait so long. After thinking for a while, he remembered someone, so he called Zhai Shouan, the president of Xia Guo Biological Society.

Thanks to Fu, who participated in the four science Olympiads of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology in high school and performed particularly well, Qin Ke is very familiar with the presidents of the organizing committees of the four subject Olympiads.

The Olympiad Organizing Committee and the society are actually two teams with one team. The chairman of the Xia State Biology Olympiad Organizing Committee is naturally the same person as the chairman of the Xia State Biology Society.

After Qin Ke came to the capital to study, he brought Ning Qingyun to visit President Zhai.

Chairman Zhai also has another identity, that is, a student of Ning Qingyun's grandmother Chu Mimei, who is also one of the important connections of the Ning family in the academic world.

Chairman Zhai was naturally very enthusiastic about Qin Ke, the famous god of learning and the future son-in-law of the Ning family. After hearing Qin Ke's meaning on the phone, he said straightforwardly:
"No problem. Now the country strongly supports the import of high-tech equipment, and there are related preferential tax policies. Our biological society only imported a batch of equipment last year. We are very familiar with the process. I will arrange a secretary to assist you, and Say hello to the key nodes, and ensure that your laboratory will use new equipment within half a year."

Qin Ke didn't expect that he could shorten the procurement time by nearly half with a single phone call, so he couldn't help thanking him with great joy: "Thank you, President Zhai!"

President Zhai said warmly: "Qin Ke, I heard that you and Qingyun recently founded the 'Computational Seed Science'. I took a look at it, and it is indeed very good. If I guess correctly, your equipment is to strengthen the understanding of the seeds. Research at the dna level, right? Hmm... at present, the domestic research on this aspect is indeed not too deep, and the experimental data are kept by the major seed companies alone, but we have a lot of plant dna research data in our hands. , although it is not the same as the seed dna, but it also has considerable reference value, if you need it, I will send you a copy."

Qin Ke was really overjoyed this time, this time he really had nowhere to go, and it took no effort to get it. The study of dna is very important. The characteristics of different dna fragments and experimental data are of great significance to the improvement of "computational seed science".

But just as Chairman Zhai said, there are not many researches on seed DNA in China at present, and the relatively in-depth research is all the internal laboratories of several major seed industry groups.It is absolutely impossible to share these data and research results with him, which involves commercial secrets.In addition, the research laboratories of some agricultural universities may also have relevant data, but they also have their own interests and may not be willing to share.

Qin Ke's only reliance now is the "500 Research Documents on Hybrid Breeding" that the system gave when the special branch technology "Hybrid Breeding" was upgraded. There are about [-] pieces of dna-related materials in it, most of which are in foreign languages, which should be from foreign countries. research results.

...

It's just that relying on these materials alone is not enough to build a relatively complete system of computational seed science, so Qin Ke thought about purchasing equipment to do his own research to fill in the gaps.

Now President Zhai can provide a large amount of plant dna research data, which is undoubtedly a great supplement. It is of great significance for the study of the dna differences of different plant species and the characteristics of species, and it can also play a great role in the improvement of computational seed science. promotion.

"Thank you so much! But can you give us these materials? Will it cause you trouble?"

Chairman Zhai felt very comfortable when he saw that Qin Ke was so considerate of him. He said with a smile:

"We are a biological society, not an industry organization like a seed industry association. We are an academic group organization with the purpose of promoting the exchange of academic achievements and promoting the development of biotechnology. These materials are mainly compiled from several academic journals under our name. All of the published ones have been published publicly, and are also open to major universities for reference. Of course, there will be no problem in copying a copy for you, just add a letter of authorization issued by the society. This can be regarded as our society's "computational seed science". Make a contribution to this emerging biological discipline."

President Zhai said it lightly, but Qin Ke knew that even if he used the library system interface of Qingmu University to connect to the database of the Biological Society, he might not be able to produce such complete materials, and it would cost countless The energy is on screening, not to mention that the actual use involves authorization issues.

I can't forget the kindness and support that President Zhai has given me now.

Qin Ke expressed his sincere thanks again and again, and said that if relevant theoretical books were published, he would definitely give special thanks to the Society of Biology in the "Acknowledgments" section.

The conversation between the two ended in a relaxed and harmonious way, and it was agreed that the materials would be sent directly to Qingmu University by the director of the Biological Society as soon as possible.

"That's great, I didn't expect President Zhai to help so much." Ning Qingyun, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, raised the corners of his mouth and looked cheerful.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank grandma. This is because President Zhai took care of us for grandma's sake." Qin Ke was indeed a little surprised at the academic background and connections of the Ning family, as well as the fact that Grandpa Ning had given him The weight of the yellowed little book.

If there is no such a network of grandma Chu Mimei, even if President Zhai helps Qin Ke because of his acquaintance, he will at most solve the problem of equipment imports and will not carefully consider the DNA research data. thing.

This is the profound heritage of hundreds of years of academic family!
Ning Qingyun pursed her lips and chuckled lightly: "Isn't it because of the face of God Qin who has a bright future?"

"Hey, Jun'er has learned to tease her husband now? Haven't you kissed today?" Qin Ke approached Ning Qingyun with a smile.

Ning Qingjun blushed, and said weakly: "Stop making trouble..."

But the girl was still kissed vigorously by Qin Ke on the cheek, and she rolled Qin Ke's charming eyes with joy and anger, and said: "With these materials, it will take a lot of time for us to perfect the theory of computational seeds." shortened."

Qin Ke is full of confidence: "Our new equipment will be ready to use in half a year, and we will be able to fill in the gaps in the research data. It is estimated that the date when our new type of desert sweet potato is cultivated is when we publish "Computational Seed Science" .”

...

Whether it is the desert sweet potato project or computational seed science, they are all topics that will greatly improve the future of mankind. Thinking of the situation after the release of these research results, both of them feel very motivated.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Qin Ke got up to open the door, only to find that Director Xiang Shouqian from the Department of Biology had come to visit the two of them.

After exchanging pleasantries, Director Xiang told Qin Ke about the proposal he had discussed with the school leaders, as well as the opinions of the school leaders, and asked with hope: "Qin Ke, Ning Qingyun, do you think this common What about the proposal to form a 'Computational Seed Science Discipline Perfection Team'?"

His attitude was not condescending at all, he could even be said to be approachable.

Now the school has issued a document officially appointing Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun as associate researchers, which is equivalent to the title of associate professor. Associate professors who are not yet 20 years old and are still in their sophomore years are unique in China. This shows that the school attaches great importance to the two, and the future development prospects of the two are limitless, and with the academic status of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun who have won two international awards, it is indeed worthy of being regarded as a professor-level existence.

Qin Ke's thoughts suddenly changed. He knew both Professor Xia Yonghua and Professor Wei Endong from the Department of Biology, and he had taken elective courses of these two professors. To form such a joint team, it is difficult to really control the right to speak in Qin Ke's hands, and the requirement of the system task is that he must be widely recognized by the academic community as the father of "computational seed science".

Moreover, Professor Xia Yonghua and Professor Wei Endong are not studying the direction of seed dna, but the direction of plant cells and plant dna, and Qin Ke can get the huge amount of data from the biological society tomorrow, so it is really unnecessary unnecessary.

Thinking of this, Qin Ke politely declined: "Thank you very much for Director Xiang's concern and support, but our current energy on computational seed science is limited, and the teams of the two professors are both national-level laboratory research teams. The task is heavy, and we are really embarrassed to trouble them. However, if our computational seed science is developed and perfected in the future, we are willing to authorize the Department of Biology to set up branded courses for free as a support and return to our alma mater."

Director Xiang was a little disappointed when he heard Qin Ke's refusal, but he immediately became excited when he heard what Qin Ke said later.

In fact, he threw out Professor Xia Yonghua and Professor Wei Endong, two industry veterans, with the ultimate goal of hoping that Qin Ke would agree to set up this brand course in the future, which is very meaningful for improving the status of Qingmu University's Department of Biology in the academic world.

Now that Qin Ke agreed without hesitation, he didn't have to use his own words to persuade Professor Xia Yonghua and Professor Wei Endong to be the assistants of the two young people. This is undoubtedly the most perfect result.

Director Xiang shook hands with Qin Ke vigorously: "Qin Ke, I will report to the school leaders about your support for the school and the Department of Biology. The Department of Biology is here to help, just ask, we will do our best!"

As the head of a line, Director Xiang's words are full of weight and sincerity.

After sending off Director Xiang, Qin Ke was also in a good mood. This is actually a win-win outcome. If Qin Ke wants to complete the system tasks, he really needs Qingmu University to promote computational seed science to expand its influence.

……

The severe cold in winter still persists, and the north has been covered by ice and snow. Fortunately, the temperature will not continue to drop. According to the forecast of the meteorological department, this round of cold wave will end in mid-to-late January.

The abnormal weather did not affect Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's study life and subject research in the ivory tower, except that the electricity bill of the lime plant cultivation laboratory skyrocketed.

The calendar flipped page by page, and it was Christmas Eve on December 12, which was also Qin Ke's 24 years old birthday, but just before Qin Ke's birthday, an unexpected thing happened.
