Chapter 202 Mr. Guan is so reliable
Mouse No. 4 is several times fatter than before and has grown a lot.

The latest fluorescence detection picture appeared on the monitor, and the results showed that fluorescence reactions appeared in the nerve and muscle tissue of mouse No. 4.

"Successful! Come and see, we succeeded!" Sam shouted loudly, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Everyone gathered around and stared at the monitor, while Sam pointed to the picture on the monitor and said, "Look here, it is the nerve tissue, and this part, it is the muscle tissue, and now there is a fluorescent reaction.

This means that the transformed cells we injected into mouse No. 4 have successfully differentiated into nerve and muscle tissue, indicating that these cells have stem cell characteristics! "

At this time, more than a dozen heads were gathered in front of the monitor, and their eyes were focused on the screen like searchlights. It seemed extremely crowded. Everyone's eyes revealed deep concentration, as if there was only that monitor left in the world with them. Locked brow. Some people felt uncomfortable being squeezed in the middle and would adjust their standing posture unconsciously, but their eyes never left the screen.

Finally, the postdoc sighed: "Success, our project was successful, we really induced cells similar to stem cells! I didn't expect it to be so fast!"

"Yeah, I always feel like the project has just begun. It hasn't taken long! Is it successful?"

"Normally, this kind of scientific research project doesn't last more than a year and a half, and it can't even produce preliminary results."

"This is too fast! I haven't even reacted yet. How come it was inexplicably successful!"

Inexplicably, this is probably the current mental state of this group of experimenters.

This project progressed so smoothly and was completed so quickly. It was extraordinary. It completely subverted everyone's conventional understanding and directly impacted their hearts.

At this time, their emotions were complicated. On the one hand, they were happy because the project had succeeded. On the other hand, they felt a little confused because the project had succeeded so quickly. There was even confusion about the unknown.

Under normal circumstances, how could a project of this level be completed so quickly! How could it be possible to get the experimental results so quickly and achieve success!
According to normal steps, during the entire scientific research process, we must not experience dozens of experimental failures and dozens of failed attempts before we can finally find the correct scientific research direction?
How can it be like this, setting the direction of scientific research, and then everything goes smoothly, without any obstacles, and the ultimate success is achieved.

This is so lucky!

Speaking of luck, there is an old unlucky guy in this project team.

However, this old unlucky guy who had been unlucky for five consecutive years was no longer unlucky. Instead, he was the only lucky person to find the inducing gene combination. He was simply favored by the goddess of luck.

All this is unreasonable no matter how you look at it!

But it happened, right in front of everyone.

Something that has happened, no matter how unreasonable, is still a fact.

When the facts that have happened conflict with what you know is reasonable, one of them must be wrong. Do you think it is the facts that are wrong, or your knowledge that is wrong?

Obviously, the facts that have happened cannot be wrong. At this time, you can only find a reasonable reason to explain why the facts are unreasonable!

"Is it because of the Chinese god named Guan Erye? Are Chinese gods so reliable?"

This idea came to more than one person's mind.

Zhang Wei prayed to the gods for the success of the project, so this scientific research project achieved results so quickly.

Sam prayed to the gods for good luck, so he changed from unlucky Sam to lucky Sam.

Based on this calculation, can the New York Knicks really win the championship? Is Britney Spears really going to date me? Is the price of the latest Dodge Challenger really about to drop?

Everyone had different thoughts and began to wonder when the wishes they made that day would come true.

Human beings are like this. When you can't reasonably explain the facts you see, you will blame it on strange forces and gods.

……

When Zhang Wei came to the laboratory, he was met with warm applause from the team members.

Although Zhang Wei had never done any experiments during the entire project, everyone still knew that Zhang Wei was the biggest contributor to the entire project.

It is still the same principle. The prerequisite for the success of a scientific research project is whether the idea is correct. As long as the idea is correct, you can always get the desired results by doing a few more experiments and through constant trial and error.

A great idea must not only be correct, but also take as few detours as possible.

Others can get results by doing a hundred experiments, but before you do the experiment, you should eliminate ninety and only need to do ten experiments to get the results. Then your idea is awesome.

Therefore, experimental ideas also represent the academic level of scientists. In scientific research projects, behind every awesome idea, there must be an awesome scientist.

There are almost no detours in Zhang Wei's experimental ideas, which also means that Zhang Wei has a top academic level. In the eyes of scientific researchers, he is like a god coming down from the earth.

Everyone wants to work less and produce more results.

Zhang Wei enjoyed the applause and compliments for a moment, then stretched out his hand and said, "Where's the lab report? Show it to me!"

Someone immediately handed the experimental report to Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei quickly read it over and found that all the necessary data and pictures were available and could be filled directly into the paper.

Zhang Wei put away the experimental report and said: "Thank you for your efforts in the recent period. I am announcing a three-day holiday, and then we will start the next stage of research!"

"The next stage of research?" Everyone was slightly stunned.

The postdoc even asked: "In this project of ours, cells similar to stem cells have been induced. This is considered a preliminary result. Should we first form a paper on this result and publish it?"

"I've already finished writing the paper. You guys are working hard here to do experiments, and I'm not idle either. When you come back from vacation, I guess the draft of the paper has been written, and we will discuss it then! So these three days of vacation "Don't think about anything, just relax!" Zhang Wei replied.

This time, Zhang Wei was much more modest in terms of his paper. This is Princeton University after all, and everyone has strong academic abilities. Sam and the postdoc both graduated from prestigious universities and had very impressive resumes. Zhang Wei could not guarantee that the original author’s paper would be better than theirs.

So Zhang Wei just said that he had written a draft and would discuss it with everyone later.

When I heard that I could relax as much as I wanted, there was cheers all around.

Only Sam asked: "Sir Zhang, what is our research direction in the next stage?"

"It's still this kind of induced cell. Let's call it IPS cells for short! Our current experiments have only confirmed that IPS cells are similar to embryonic stem cells in terms of morphology, gene, protein expression, cell differentiation and other abilities.

Next, we will conduct research on cell doubling capacity, epigenetic modification status, embryoid bodies, and tumor generation capacity to see if our IPS cells can achieve similar effects to embryonic stem cells. "Zhang Wei answered. Hearing this answer, everyone gasped. He is indeed an academic master who made genetic scissors. His ambition is really big!
The research Zhang Wei mentioned later is no longer purely basic research on molecular biology, such as epigenetic modification, tumorigenesis, etc., all related to the medical industry.

Although medical research is a gold-swallowing beast, it is also a code of wealth. Scientists who conquer any disease will generate huge wealth.

The original intention of IPS cells is to replace embryonic stem cells. If the next step of research is tilted in the direction of medicine, it means that this technology must not only be developed and put into practical use, but also be developed and put into practical use in one of the most important fields of mankind. change.

Zhang Wei continued: "Next, I plan to inject IPS cells into normal blastocysts, let them develop into early embryos, and then implant them into normal mice.

If the tissue derived from IPS cells can be detected in normal embryonic cells, it means that we can obtain chimeric embryos. Then it is possible for us to obtain IPS cells with reproductive capacity! "

……

The 2005 WCG China competition was organized by the Ministry of Culture and China Television Group. One is a ministry, and the other is a listed group controlled by CCTV. In terms of independent sponsor background, it is definitely significant enough.

But also because the organizer's background is too strong, they don't pay much attention to the WGC project.

Playing games is still quite controversial in China. Although e-sports has been classified as an official sport, it is still not encouraged or promoted at the national level.

Therefore, as the department in charge of online games, the Ministry of Culture does not want to create too much publicity. It just treats it as completing a daily work task, not seeking merit but seeking no fault.

What's more, they also have so many meaningful and positive activities, such as holding a reading day, holding cultural exhibitions, holding theatrical performances to express condolences, and doing cultural heritage protection. Isn't it better to promote this than playing games?
If you have some spare time, apply for a few intangible cultural heritages and don’t let the country steal the Dragon Boat Festival. Whether it’s political achievements or public opinion, it’s better than holding a game-playing competition!
As for CTV Group, the situation is similar. They shoot hundreds of film, television dramas and documentaries every year, produce hundreds of columns, and select and submit their works to participate in major awards. For small projects like WCG, just step aside!
I shoot an excellent film and television drama and win awards such as Huabiao, Feitian, and Golden Rooster. Wouldn’t it be nice? Wouldn't it be better to make a documentary and go to the United States to win an Emmy Award?

Or cooperate with foreign film and television production companies to produce several Chinese promotional videos to enhance China's international image and attract some foreign tourists. This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people!
Compared with these projects, what is WCG?
Playing games is not favored by the mainstream media. Even if the project is completed, it may still be regarded as a negative example by the media! When the time comes, you won't be able to make any money, but you will be in trouble.

If South Korea's Samsung Group hadn't rushed to host this competition, it is estimated that domestic organizers would have been too lazy to take on the job.

It is precisely because of the embarrassing status of e-sports in China that when Yao Xiaoguang approached the person in charge of the organizer and proposed sponsorship, the person in charge of the organizer hesitated.

If it were another project, if I heard that the sponsor’s father wanted to sponsor, I would have to go the other way and support the sponsor’s father properly!

However, for the WCG project, the organizers did not intend to make it a big deal. With a mentality of not seeking merit but seeking no faults, they just hoped to complete the project quickly and avoid causing any negative impact. In this case, one is naturally very cautious when dealing with sponsors.

What's more, for projects sponsored by ministries and commissions and listed groups, basic project funds are definitely available, and there will be no shortage of money.

The organizer's project leader's surname was Li. Director Li looked at Yao Xiaoguang and said with a troubled face: "Manager Yao, the schedule for this year's WCG China competition has been determined. It may be more difficult to modify it now!"

"Director Li, we just want to sponsor an exhibition match. It won't take much time. Please help me!" Yao Xiaoguang said with a smile.

"This is not a question of whether I can help or not, but the rules are just like that. There are rules for the competition. Since we have made the rules, we must abide by them!" Director Li continued to practice Tai Chi.

"Director Li, I believe that the organizer also hopes to run the event well. With more sponsorship funds, the event will have more funds. The event will definitely be better organized and have better publicity effects. This is a win-win situation. situation.”

"Manager Yao, we still have enough funds, and we are not pursuing any publicity effects, so we don't plan to make this project too extravagant."

Director Li's words were very artistic and he used the word "extravagant" to describe it.

This is the first time Yao Xiaoguang has encountered this kind of situation where sponsorship money is not required.

To organize an event, I didn’t want to publicize it widely, but wanted to keep a low profile. This was also the first time Yao Xiaoguang met.

Despite all the hard talk, Director Li refused to let go, so Yao Xiaoguang could only return without success.

……

Early in the morning, as soon as Zhang Wei got up, he received a call from Yao Xiaoguang.

"Zhang Wei, are you up?"

"I just got up and washed my face."

"I calculated the time, and you should get up now, so I called you. Didn't you say last time that you wanted me to go to the organizer of the WCG China Division to talk about DOTA entering the performance project? I We went to talk, but the matter didn’t work out.”

"Do you think the sponsorship fee we gave is too low? Then you can add some money appropriately. After all, the WCG competition only happens once a year. Time waits for us. We have to seize this publicity opportunity."

"If it's money, it's easy to talk about. The key is that the organizer doesn't care about money at all!"

"Don't care about money? Are there such organizers? Do you think money is too hot?" Zhang Wei asked puzzledly.

Yao Xiaoguang explained the general situation.

"So that's the case, then this matter will be difficult to deal with. Since the other party doesn't even care about money, it will be difficult to impress them using other transaction methods."

"Yeah, so I think that although our plan this time is very good, I'm afraid it won't be implemented!"

"The plan can't keep up with the changes." Zhang Wei thought for a while and asked: "Do you know where this year's WCG China Finals will be held?"

"I checked and the venue is the Shanghai Convention and Exhibition Center." Yao Xiaoguang replied.

"Convention and Exhibition Center? The Convention and Exhibition Center in Shanghai is a world-class exhibition venue, right? Why did you build such a big venue? Isn't it necessary?

Last year it was held at the Badminton Center in Beijing, and there were many empty seats in the stands on the sidelines! When I ran to the Convention and Exhibition Center, there were not that many people at all. "

“Well, this year’s Hannover International Information and Communications Technology Expo’s Asia section happens to be held in Shanghai, and Samsung Group is also a sponsor of this expo.

So the venue and time were put together. While the expo is going on, part of the space in the Convention and Exhibition Center will be used to host the WCG China finals. "

"Then things will be easy to handle!" Zhang Wei smiled slightly and continued: "They didn't ban us from participating in the exhibition, right? Let's use the sponsorship money to rent a booth next to the WCG competition venue and hold the competition there. That’s it!” Zhang Wei said.

"Is this okay? Are you trying to take advantage of the exhibition? But that is the Information and Communication Technology Expo? We can't say that we are exhibiting DOTA, right? This has nothing to do with information and communication technology!"

"We are not related, but Haofang Game Platform should be, right? Online game platforms are also information technology. Get them together, let them contribute some money, and build an exhibition hall together. At worst, we can use their platform to connect games on site!"
