Chapter 64: Renting a Laboratory
Chapter 64: Renting a Laboratory
The next day, after setting his goal, Wu Hao first made a phone call to the person in charge at the school to express his intentions.
In reality, the school didn't have any significant research projects recently. Only some students and mentors were engaged in routine research courses, so the laboratory was partially inactive.
However, the school couldn't be honest with Wu Hao and instead made excuses, claiming that the laboratory was busy lately.
Upon hearing this, Wu Hao didn't want to negotiate and directly proposed a 10-day rental period with a payment of 3 million yuan. If he used any of the original materials in the laboratory, he would pay for them separately.
The school representative didn't object and assured Wu Hao that they would immediately halt the ongoing research in the laboratory and make it available for his use.
After reaching an agreement over the phone, Wu Hao and the school scheduled a meeting to discuss the details and make the payment.
The main concern was the payment. After all, this money could be considered external income, and the rental fee for the laboratory would most likely find its way into the pockets of some school leaders.
In reality, such situations were quite normal. In a sense, it couldn't be considered embezzlement, but rather making the most of available resources within the rules to convert them into benefits.
"Mr. Wu, I have informed the laboratory director, and by this afternoon, we will have the laboratory ready for you. However, I'm curious, Mr. Wu, what exactly will you be doing in the rented laboratory?" After some pleasantries in the office, the school leader who received Wu Hao went straight to the point.
"It's nothing much, just some private research. Rest assured, if anything unexpected happens during the rental period, I will compensate the school accordingly!" Wu Hao understood the meaning behind the question and made the promise directly.
In fact, Wu Hao's experiment didn't require 10 days. He had already simulated it multiple times in his mind, and now he only needed to develop the actual experiment.
The 10-day timeframe was a conservative estimate he set for himself. If nothing unexpected occurred, he could complete it within 3 to 5 days.
After all, Wu Hao's goal was to develop a method to temporarily stop the growth and spread of cancer cells in his father's body, buying him some time for further research.
According to Wu Hao's preliminary estimates, the various research equipment required for the formal study couldn't be found domestically. Currently, there were only one or two institutions in Europe and America with such research equipment, belonging to top-notch research institutes.
It wasn't feasible for Wu Hao to go to these research institutes and use their equipment and facilities. Buying the equipment himself and establishing a research laboratory wasn't something that could be accomplished just by having money.
These devices were scarce even in European and American countries, and both the manufacturing process and other aspects posed significant technological challenges for current human technology.
Coupled with the blockade against China by these countries, it was difficult for even a high-precision machine tool to enter the country.
Therefore, Wu Hao could only purchase a portion of the components and materials he could acquire. For those he couldn't purchase, he would have to wait until his base was completely operational and gradually manufacture the components using his own equipment to assemble the necessary research equipment.
This kind of equipment is precisely the high-precision equipment used for studying gene technology and nanotechnology. Once Wu Hao completes the construction of this laboratory, he will possess one of the most advanced research facilities in the world, making mature gene technology and nanotechnology a reality.
With mature gene technology and nanotechnology, he is fully confident in researching and developing an element that can rapidly and effectively kill cancer cells without harming the body's immune system.
Moreover, with mature gene technology and nanotechnology, there will be significant impacts in various fields. For example, gene technology can effectively reduce the harm caused by various human diseases, optimize and repair human genes, and enhance human physical abilities in various aspects.
In fact, research laboratories in both domestic and international settings have already acquired a certain level of related technologies in the field of gene technology. Examples include cloning technology and plant improvement technology, which fall under the umbrella of gene technology.
Nano-technology has also been applied to some high-precision raw materials. For example, core chips are manufactured using nanotechnology.
However, for Wu Hao to have such a research laboratory, the first problem he needs to solve is the energy supply for his base. Without sufficient energy, he won't be able to manufacture the necessary components from raw materials. Therefore, energy is the foundation and the fundamental element for all technology.
With Wu Hao's assurance, the school leader continued with some pleasantries and then signed a lease certificate and agreement with Wu Hao. After signing the agreement, Wu Hao wrote a cash check to the other party.
Since the school needed until the afternoon to prepare the laboratory, Wu Hao planned to return to the hospital after signing the agreement to check on his father and inform his parents and sister that he might be busy for a few days.
However, shortly after Wu Hao entered the hospital, he encountered an acquaintance in the hallway. It was none other than Li Xiaoyun, who he had frequently been in contact with over the phone.
When Wu Hao noticed the other person, Li Xiaoyun also saw him, so she happily spoke first, "Brother Wu, I didn't expect to run into you here. By the way, what brings you to the hospital?"
Since Wu Hao and Li Xiaoyun's last phone call was a couple of days ago, Li Xiaoyun didn't know much about Wu Hao's situation. In fact, when they usually talked, Wu Hao rarely mentioned his family and personal matters. The topics they discussed were mostly greetings and other interesting subjects.
"Yes! I brought my father to the hospital for an examination. By the way, is your mother also in this hospital?" After the conversation they had, Wu Hao already knew that Li Xiaoyun had sought his help because of her mother, but he didn't mention the specific hospital. That's why he asked when he happened to encounter her in the hospital.
