Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 631: Chapter 361: Medical Science Center

The research on 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule was immensely successful, and the rewards were naturally plentiful. Due to the confidential nature of the research, the results are yet to be published, but both the Institute and Zhao Yi have gained a lot.

The Biomedical Research Institute is a national-level key research institution, and there’s basically no room to rise higher. What they get are approval of their research capabilities from higher-ups, medal rewards, and...

Money!

Money is very important.

The Institute received substantial funding support, which was immediately used to augment equipment in various labs. It also received hefty financial backing from domestic pharmaceutical factories.

The Biomedical Research Institute has always hoped to apply to establish a Medical Science Center, or rather an Educational Medicine Center. Having a dedicated medical center would allow its research influence to be felt worldwide, and not just within China.

In this regard, the Biomedical Research Institute is at a relative disadvantage compared to other medical research institutions because it is affiliated with Yanhua University.

The Biomedical Research Institute is a semi-independent research unit but is indeed part of the College of Life Sciences at Yanhua University. The influence of Yanhua University is relatively low, and it doesn’t have a direct corresponding medical school or large-scale hospital.

If compared only to ordinary medical research institutions, it wouldn’t be a big deal. However, with its research abilities ranking comfortably in the top five nationally, the Biomedical Research Institute requires policy support and the right facilities for its cutting-edge research endeavors.

For instance, the medical laboratory at Shuimu University.

Shuimu University has its own Medical School and its own comprehensive major hospital, which can provide direct support for its research.

Shuimu University also is one of the top universities nationally and naturally enjoys a different level of policy support.

If the Biomedical Research Institute can keep up with Shuimu University’s medical laboratory in competition, it’s quite an achievement. But to surpass its peers and truly gain international recognition requires many research breakthroughs.

One or two heavyweight achievements can only show the individual’s high skill level. Multiple successes in multiple fields can demonstrate the capabilities of a research institution.

So, the right support is really important.

The Medical Science Center that the Biomedical Research Institute hopes to construct is aimed at creating an organization that combines exchange, teaching, and large-scale research data resources. This will continuously provide the Institute with talents and technical support. freёweɓnovel.com

The Institute has applied for this twice before and was outright rejected by the higher-ups both times. The reason was really simple--

Money.

Building a simple structure isn’t hard, and Yanhua University can support that. However, constructing a Medical Science Center, with all the necessary technology and equipment, is a significant investment.

Now that the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule study has been completed and they’ve begun collaborating with well-funded pharmaceutical factories, the money issue has been immediately sorted.

As long as there’s a major investment involved, nothing else is a problem.

At the same time.

All those involved in the research received decent bonuses. When the confidential study was officially declared finished, each person received a bonus of fifty thousand.

The pharmaceutical factories have also pledged more funds as rewards to everyone involved in the research if the drug development proves effective.

Zhao Yi was naturally at the core of these rewards.

The representatives from both pharmaceutical companies practically shoved money at him, offering millions. His personal bonus was secondary; they also proactively asked about his equipment needs.

Zhao Yi casually mentioned a few items, and they agreed to them all without hesitation.

The primary objective of the pharma company representatives was to establish a cooperation framework with Zhao Yi’s lab. Even if they cannot directly contribute to significant findings, they wanted to establish a private relationship.

It’s an investment in the future.

Zhao Yi has accomplished a lot in medical research, particularly in AIDS research. He just cracked the hijacking process of the virulence gene protein and then discovered the effect of the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule. Who knows what he might discover next?

Every such discovery, every achievement, represents a substantial profit.

And that doesn’t even include the fame garnered.

Everyone hopes for diseases to be cured, making the profits of the pharmaceutical companies secondary.

At the same time, Zhao Yi also received a promise from institute director Yan Xuelin that once the Medical Science Center is established, an entire large-scale lab will be allocated exclusively for his use.

The research institute building is already fully occupied.

Zhao Yi’s lab is relatively new, so its location and the space it occupies are not the best, and it’s not possible to give him the central lab. For now, it will have to suffice.

After the completion of the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule study, not only the Biomedical Research Institute but also the higher-ups acknowledge Zhao Yi’s talents in medical research, and naturally, his treatment is now notably different.

Yan Xuelin and the expert review team saying "Zhao Yi’s lab" is the best lab in the institute will soon be a reality. Leaving aside the results for now, the funding and equipment support are comprehensive, and soon, once the Medical Science Center is established, the location will be top-notch as well.

Zhao Yi is really looking forward to this.

A lab is a researcher’s showcase. Having his own, superior lab environment would put him in better spirits just by being there.

...

For those involved in the research, the results and financial gains are just one aspect.

The end of the confidential research also provides a sense of relief.

People like Dai Tianqing and Han Hui, when talking about the research of the past couple of months, have many feelings. Nobody wants to be stuck in their workplace all the time.
