Chapter 773 Recruiting Soldiers

Lu Zhou had considered this issue back in Princeton.

As his research gradually enters unfamiliar fields, sooner or later the content of his research will conflict with traditional ethical concepts.

And all of this is inevitable.

After all, the level of the system covers so many subjects, it is impossible for him to study only mathematics all his life.

After finishing his conversation with Yang Xu, Lu Zhou turned on his laptop, and after a short thought, he selected some excerpts from Professor Gronster's thesis, and wrote a review on "Human cryogenic dormancy technology" Thesis, and in the paper clearly stated his position on supporting the research.

"...compared with the short life of human beings, how to travel the star system with the distance of light years as the unit, how to make our colonists spend a long time, is a more thought-provoking question than how to accelerate the spacecraft to sub-light speed topic of."

"If the earth is the cradle of our civilization, then one day our footprints will reach other star systems."

"Perhaps it is too early to start thinking about this day now, but I think it is absolutely necessary for our civilization to master this technology from a long-term perspective..."

Fingers tapping on the keyboard, Lu Zhou conceived while perfecting the thesis.

Although he is not obliged to explain his motivation for undertaking a study, the high ground of public opinion is like this. If you don't occupy it, someone else will occupy it, and use this to create trouble for you.

With his current influence in the academic world, if he wants to engage in a research, even if some people object in their hearts, they probably won't stand up and publicly oppose him...at least in China.

Therefore, it is necessary for him to use his influence to guide the attitude of the domestic academic circle towards this technology to his own side before the foreign discussions and protests on this technology spread to China.

Hitting the Enter button on the keyboard, Lu Zhou checked the paper from beginning to end, finally nodded with satisfaction, and then threw the paper into the mailbox of the editorial office of the journal run by Jinling University.

Since he returned to China, the influence of Jinling University's journals has increased a lot along with his worth, especially after the success of the controlled nuclear fusion project, it has reached its peak along with Jinling University's reputation.

Although there is still a slight gap between this school-run journal and the school-run journals of Shuimu Yanda University, two top domestic universities, the gap is not very obvious.

Especially his published articles.

Even if other papers are ignored, the libraries of many universities and research institutions will specifically cut out his papers from journals and make a collection for reference by those engaged in research in related fields.

After finishing the submission, Lu Zhou turned off the computer and put the matter aside for the time being.

He is not an expert in the field of biochemistry, and he has not reached a professional level in the freezing technology of living organisms. The specific research has to be completed by experts in this field.

At present, Yang Xu has already contacted Hengrui Pharmaceutical.

Regardless of whether the cooperation can be negotiated or not, I believe there will be results soon.

However, Lu Zhou is still optimistic about whether a cooperation can be reached.

After all, his status in academia is here.

If he can get his support, the problems that Hengrui Pharmaceutical is worried about will not be a problem at all.

Now that the space race is in full swing, as long as any scientific research project is stamped with the stamp of the Lunar Orbit Construction Committee, it will be supported by all the green lights in any department.

There are no exceptions to this point.

...

The day after Yang Xu contacted Hengrui Pharmaceuticals, Professor Zhang Jiafu, who had visited Lu Zhou in Jinling last time, rushed over again non-stop.

After a simple exchange of greetings, before sitting down on the sofa, Professor Zhang couldn't wait to ask.

"How did you become interested in cryonics?"

To be honest, Professor Zhang is actually not optimistic about this research, or he does not support Lu Zhou to go into this muddy water.

It is said that because of this cryonics technology, that Harvard University professor Gloucester has received several emails of death threats, and even radical supporters of the Human Liberation Movement threw stones into his yard. , forcing him to move his family from next to Harvard University to Johnson & Johnson's research institute in East Detroit, where he lived a semi-reclusive life.

In China, although there is probably no one who dares to say "death threats" to Lu Zhou, it will still have a certain impact on his academic reputation.

However, after hearing Professor Zhang's question, Lu Zhou didn't seem to care about it at all, but simply answered.

"Human cryopreservation is a very critical technology, which may be used in the future."

Professor Zhang Jiafu was slightly taken aback, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"I don't disagree with your statement... If you insist, there is really no problem on our side."

Lu Zhou nodded, without any nonsense, opened the drawer, took out a project plan from it and threw it on the table.

"We will provide the necessary researchers and some research funds to participate in this research. However, in the fields of clinical biology, our talent pool is limited, and we need you to provide relevant researchers."

"This is no problem," Professor Zhang Jiafu, "We still have a lot of people in clinical biology."

As one of the few domestic companies engaged in new drug research and development, Hengrui Pharmaceutical still has a considerable talent pool in the fields of clinical biology and other fields, among which there are many researchers recruited from top foreign universities and research institutions. The research direction is all people above Mavericks.

In this regard, compared with the newly established Jinling Institute for Advanced Study of the Institute of Biochemistry, it still has a lot of advantages.

Lu Zhou nodded and continued.

"How to carry out the specific cooperation, how to distribute the benefits after the cooperation is completed, these things that you may care about are all in this plan, you can take it back and show it to the relevant personnel of your company. If there is no problem, I will We hope that the cooperation will start as soon as possible.”

Picking up the proposal and looking it over quickly, Professor Zhang Jiafu said immediately after seeing the list of main participants.

"I have a question."

Lu Zhou: "Say."

Zhang Jiafu: "The direction of cryogenic technology is too unpopular. Although our researchers have many excellent people in the field of clinical biology and biopharmaceuticals, there are really no cryobiology..."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou smiled and said: "You are an expert in the field of life sciences and biopharmaceuticals. You must have read more papers in this field than I do. Just find a few researchers who have been engaged in related fields to poach them. gone."

"It's not as simple as you said," Zhang Jiafu smiled wryly, and continued, "There are not many domestic countries that can publish papers in this unpopular field of cryobiology. I have the people you want, but Whether people will come or not is still a question.”

The more unpopular the direction, the smaller the circle and the more concentrated the resources. Under such circumstances, it is often that the strong will always be strong, and the weak will always be weak.

Awesome professors get a lot of funding to do experiments, train students, publish papers, register patents, and show their reputations in international journals. Free scientific research labor can't be recruited, and it's hard to keep it if recruited. Maybe you have to write papers by yourself.

Talents are cultivated with great difficulty, and they switch careers to become code farmers or do sales, and the boss who has a bad attitude is so angry that he shuts himself... This kind of thing is too common in biology.

Therefore, it's not that the kind of person Lu Zhou is looking for cannot be found, but with a little ability, most of them are the kind who are already very good.

To put it bluntly, since he is already awesome enough, why should he come to work for you?

However, regarding Professor Zhang's concerns, Lu Zhou just smiled lightly and said.

"You just report your name, and I will be in charge of the discussion."

Seeing the indifferent expression on Lu Zhou's face, Zhang Jiafu hesitated for a moment, and tentatively reported a name.

"Liu Zuobing..."

Lu Zhou: "He is?"

"Director of the Laboratory of Cellular Low Temperature Medicine, Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, PLA General Hospital..."

After a pause, Zhang Jiafu continued, "I met him at an academic conference in Rongcheng and talked about this issue. His views on human cryogenic technology seem to be relatively optimistic, and he published it in "Annual Review-of-Physiology" I once wrote a paper on cryopreservation of biological cells, which can even be found in the citation of Professor Glaunster’s Nature, but..."

Lu Zhou: "Just?"

"It's just that I heard that he is evaluating academicians recently, so he may not be willing to go into this muddy water." Professor Zhang's expression was a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid it will not be easy for you to persuade him to help."

The selection of academicians does not mean that the more research results, the easier it is to be selected. At this juncture when co-options are about to start, it is more important than anything else not to make mistakes.

However, after hearing Professor Zhang's concerns, Lu Zhou suddenly recovered.

Want to be an academician?

That's easy to say!

A smile appeared on Lu Zhou's face, he looked at Zhang Jiafu and said.

"Okay, that's him."

Zhang Jiafu was stunned: "Are you really planning to recruit this big guy to the project team?"

"Since you have said it all, he is the best researcher in this field in China," Lu Zhou smiled, paused for a moment, and continued, "Then naturally, I am looking for the best!"
