Chapter 011 Laboratory
After more than half a month of integration and adjustment, Zhiren Company finally entered a state of normal operation.
Li Jinglan also used his connections in Hong Kong to contract the entire laboratory construction project to a company that specializes in building laboratories.
At the same time, hundreds of thousands of US dollars were spent to establish connections with Luzon officials and obtain relevant certificates to open a laboratory.
These days, Li Qingye has been staying at home, studying theories such as biochemistry on the island.
Suddenly, the doorbell of the villa rang, and the security guard in charge of the villa brought in Li Jinglan and an elegant middle-aged man.
"Boss, this is Mr. Fang Wensi, the business manager of Xinhai Engineering Company."
The elegant middle-aged man quickly extended his hand: "Boss Zhang, nice to meet you. I am Fang Wensi . Please take care of me in the future."
After shaking hands, Li Qingye smiled and said, "Please sit down, Gana, and make a pot of tea."
After sitting down, they chatted for a while, and then Li Qingye got to the point: "Manager Li should have told your company that my company needs to build a biological laboratory, and the total investment is 50 million US dollars."
Fang Wensi took out a thick scientific research equipment catalog and handed it over: "Well, I have already understood it. This is our company's scientific research equipment configuration catalog. Please take a look to see if there is anything that needs to be supplemented or adjusted."
Li Qingye looked through the catalog and the list of recommended instruments of Xinhai Company.
Common instruments include: tissue homogenizer, ultrafine grinder, separatory funnel, Soxhlet extractor, solid phase microextraction device, rotary concentrator, centrifuge, refrigerator, liquid nitrogen tank, water purifier, etc. There are more than ten sets of each of these devices.
The next equipment is some mid-range equipment.
Including: gas chromatograph, high performance liquid chromatograph, supercritical fluid chromatograph, high performance capillary electrophoresis, protein purification system, UV-visible spectrophotometer, infrared spectrometer, molecular fluorescence spectrometer, photosynthetic meter, open oxygen analyzer, implantable physiological signal wireless telemetry system, IKA-C2000 oxygen bomb calorimeter, enzyme labeler, biochemical analyzer, polymerase chain reaction instrument, etc.
More advanced instruments include atomic emission spectrometer, atomic absorption spectrometer, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer, mass spectrometer, laser confocal scanning microscope, flow cytometer, transgenic instrument, gel imaging system, gene differential system, semi-dry transfer instrument, hybridization oven, UV cross-linking instrument, electroporation instrument, sequencer, bioreactor, fermentation engineering equipment and cryo-electron microscope.
There is also a computer.
Li Qingye’s previous laboratory in Jiangcheng did not have many advanced experimental instruments.
Of course, he did not aim too high. He directly kicked out many instruments that required the cooperation of manufacturers from the procurement list.
After all, there are many things in his laboratory that cannot be seen in public. If the manufacturer's technicians are often needed to cooperate, the possibility of leaks will increase.
He also rejected without hesitation Fang Wensi's suggestion to use computing services from other commercial computing service companies.
Are you kidding? Borrowing computing services from these commercial companies is no less than self-destruction. As for the so-called spirit of contract, just listen to it.
He would rather use his own server than use any equipment on the public network, and even asked Xinhai Company to strengthen the network isolation facilities when designing the laboratory.
After selecting the equipment and discussing some details of the laboratory, the two parties quickly signed the contract.
After Fang Wensi left.
Li Qingye told Li Jinglan some more things, and then he took a dozen bodyguards and moved to the office building in Dart Port.
After all, there will be an engineering team from Xinhai Company and technicians from instrument manufacturers coming to Caragua Island soon, and he doesn't want to appear in a crowded environment.
The entire project is expected to be completed by the end of 2017.
Li Qingye did not want to waste the past six months. After his brain was developed, he had been studying all kinds of knowledge day and night.
After all, he doesn't have much time left, and both revenge and survival are crucial.
He now has nearly $100 million in cash flow. The cost of biochemical research is lower than that of physics research, materials research, and mechanical research. This money can support him for at least two to three years.
Moreover, Li Qingye has a huge advantage that others do not have, that is, his brain has been developed. Super-analysis and super-inference can quickly deduce a large number of theoretical models, and he only needs to do verification experiments.
Adding the Jianmu factor, it is itself a huge treasure.
In the next six months, Li Qingye will calm down and learn as much new knowledge as possible.
Anyway, this is the information age, and a lot of scientific research information can be found through the Internet.
Of course, Li Qingye did not completely believe the papers and knowledge on the Internet. After all, academic fraud is not just a problem in China, but a common phenomenon all over the world.
During the past month of study, he discovered more than 300 problematic papers through super analysis.
For example, Greg Semenza's papers: "Anthracycline chemotherapy inhibits HIF-1 transcriptional activity and tumor-induced mobilization of circulating angiogenic cells", "Hypoxia-inducible factor mediates coordinated RhnA-ROCK1 expression and signaling in breast cancer cells", "Hypoxia-inducible factor...", "Breast cancer stem cells...", etc., have serious problems.
This guy is also one of the Nobel Prize candidates.
Because these papers have problems, the papers that cite them are also affected, which is a catastrophic disaster.
After all, if you use the wrong knowledge, the result will naturally be making things worse.
Faced with a vast database of papers, he could only sort it out, extract relatively correct knowledge, and fill it into his memory palace.
During this learning process, he also discovered a lot of useful knowledge and information.
This is like a Qigong practitioner achieving the effect of eliminating the false and retaining the true during the practice.
In addition, he did not only study biochemistry, but also other subjects such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering, mechanics, paleontology, geology, etc. He would spend three hours every day studying these subjects.
After all, modern disciplines are not isolated systems, but rather they intersect and influence each other.
By studying other subjects, you can even learn by analogy and reach the same destination through different paths.
At the same time, he is also learning about instruments and equipment. In order to reduce the possibility of laboratory leaks, he can only rely on himself now.
There is no luxury to be able to imitate these devices, but at least you should be able to repair and debug them.
He used the relationship with Xinhai Company to ask the instrument manufacturers to provide some detailed maintenance and operation information. On the surface, the manufacturers had no objection to this, but they would definitely deliberately blur some key data in secret.
But they underestimated Li Qingye's learning ability.
In the process of understanding the instruments and equipment, he also taught himself software programming, electronic maintenance, electrical appliance maintenance, computers, etc.
As time goes by, Li Qingye's knowledge structure becomes more comprehensive and in-depth, and various knowledge is quickly integrated.
For example, in computer technology, he has been searching for new knowledge for the past six months. Sometimes he has to dig out deep web information hidden beneath the surface network, which has trained his hacking ability.
