Chapter 967

Can it solve the problem of embryo transfer?

This question is really a difficult problem for Yang Rui.

Yang Rui doesn't understand embryo transfer, there is no doubt about it.

As a graduate student in the Department of Biology, he has the most contact with pharmaceutical factories, and he knows very little about animal husbandry. After all, agriculture is the most difficult place to achieve results. Without a firm heart, or a stupid heart, no student will devote himself to agriculture.

However, although Yang Rui doesn't understand embryo transfer, it doesn't mean he can't do embryo transfer projects.

This may sound contradictory, but it is actually quite natural.

When it comes to embryo transfer in the laboratory state, Yang Rui really has nothing to do. It is actually the work of a veterinarian. The domestic animal husbandry research institute is the only one that has conquered this kind of technology. Yang Rui doesn't understand and has no skills.

However, what China Animal Husbandry Corporation wants is an improved technology that simplifies the work of veterinarians so that they can complete the workflow of embryo transfer in the shortest possible time and with the highest possible success rate.

Work flow, Yang Rui has too much in his mind.

Although it takes some time and some skills to realize these processes, Yang Rui can still meet the requirements-this does not mean that he will spend a few years learning veterinary technology by himself, but that at his current position, he can already disclose and of course The hired researchers to help.

In other words, although Yang Rui has no veterinary skills, and he doesn't even know how embryo transfer is done in the laboratory, as long as he is given resources and pointed out the direction, industrialized embryo transfer is a matter of course.

Even in '85, it was a world-class piece of technology.

The only question is whether it's worth it.

With this time and energy, Yang Rui can choose to do some other work. The worst thing is to research a new drug, which is also a profit of hundreds of millions of yuan, and it can save countless people...

"I'm afraid time is limited." Yang Rui shook his head slightly, and said with a smile, "It's better not to rush into new fields."

Director Jiao felt a little regretful, and reluctantly thanked him, but he lost the interest in socializing.

In the final analysis, embryo transfer is the surrogacy technology of cattle.

It takes 280 days for a cow to conceive once. Counting the time before and after, it is equal to one pregnancy per year.

One calf is born, and the population reproduction speed is very slow when the base number is small.

However, if the surrogate technology is used to allow all Chinese cattle to breed Simmental cattle, China Animal Husbandry Corporation can obtain more than 100,000 Simmental cattle in a blink of an eye. It is not a dream to reach the level of developed countries in a year. The value is measured in billions of dollars.

therefore.

If Chang Jiao can solve the technology of embryo transfer, he can become the head of hundreds of thousands of Simmental cattle in a blink of an eye, earning foreign exchange for the country, winning glory for the company, benefiting the people, and making progress for the individual.

Without the technology of embryo transfer, he would be the farm manager of hundreds of thousands of Simmental hybrid cattle. The price of beef sold in Hong Kong would be lowered, and the market was pitifully small, with no fundamental change from before.

As for the large-scale population of purebred Simmental cattle, Director Jiao even doubts whether he will be able to see them in his lifetime.

Director Jiao's regret fell into Wen Zelin's eyes, but the latter thought about it.

He was originally a quick-witted person, so he simply dragged Chief Jiao to ask questions tirelessly.

No matter how depressed Director Jiao was, he had no choice but to gather his energy and answer Wen Zelin's question, which turned into popular science.

Wen Zelin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and after a while, he came to Yang Rui again, and said with a smile: "Yang Rui, our brothers met for the first time today, and we shouldn't have exchanged shallow words. Just a few more words, do you think you can make embryo transfer work?"

"There are two types of scientific research. One is flying immortals, and the other is farming." Yang Rui said indifferently: "The theory of relativity and Newton's three laws are flying immortals. Mendel and DNA are also considered flying immortals, but embryo transplantation, At this stage, it’s farming.”

"What's the difference between flying immortals outside the sky and farming?" Wen Zelin humbly asked for advice.

"Flying Immortals are waiting for the pie to fall from the sky. If you are farming, you can invest in it. You plow the land in order to fertilize and sprinkle seeds, remember to water and weed to prevent diseases and insect pests, and then wait for the harvest." Yang Rui's metaphor is very detailed.

Wen Zelin also asked in detail: "What if there is a natural or man-made disaster in that kind of land?"

"Continue planting next year, fertilize the land and scatter seeds. It costs more than expected, and the harvest may be less than expected, but it can be harvested anyway."

"You mean, as long as you invest enough, even if you fail the first time, you can still produce results?" Wen Zelin asked seriously.

Yang Rui took a serious look at him and said, "This is not a matter of ten million."

"I know I know."

"I don't want to spend 10 million yuan."

"Why don't you do 10 million yuan?" Wen Zelin pretended to be confused.

Yang Rui also wanted to know what kind of medicine he sold in the gourd - if he had nothing to do, he wouldn't ask such details.

Yang Ruizhi said: "The cost of doing a project is very high, especially for the first time. I haven't calculated it carefully, but there must be risks with such a large budget. Moreover, the money is basically used to build a new laboratory. , I am too lazy to set up a new laboratory."

He currently owns 100% of the shares of Huarui Laboratory, and also controls the Ion Channel Laboratory of Peking University, so there is indeed a risk of losing energy.

Wen Zelin heard this, and said: "But if this technology is made, it will be worth a lot of money?"

"of course."

"How much is it worth?"

"It depends."

"Count in miles."

"Embryo transfer costs at least two to three hundred yuan, maybe as much as 1,000. I mean it's commercialized. In this case, if we do 100,000 cow embryo transfers a year..."

"One hundred million!" Wen Zelin figured it out by himself.

Yang Rui nodded, and said: "The cost is not taken into account. If you just start doing it, the cost of 1,000 yuan may not be enough, and it may even be more expensive than a cow. However, the cost of new technologies is reduced very quickly. So, head It is possible to lose money in the first three years or even in the first three years, but as the cost of technology becomes lower and lower, the volume can also increase after the proficiency increases.”

"That is to say, once it is commercialized, the profits will continue to flow?" Wen Zelin's eyes were about to turn red. A yearly output value of 100 million is a big number in the 21st century. No matter how much profit it makes, this figure is amazing. A company with an output value of 100 million is a guest of honor in many provinces and cities.

"Losses are also constant." Yang Rui was a little amused. The money-burning level of biotechnology is no worse than that of the Internet.
