If progress could be made in the research of "neural signal transmission," it would be much more valuable and fruitful than working on several high-end projects, not to mention the influence. Every advance in fundamental research would be of global impact.
Zhao Yi's laboratory is very capable; when they apply for basic scientific research projects, it seems likely that they will achieve results, and naturally, they will receive support.

Two weeks later, the Scientific Research Foundation released a list of approved medical research projects from the previous month, which included two projects on "neural signal transmission."
One was "Transmission Methods of Animal Neural Signals," applied for by Zhao Yi's laboratory at the Biomedical Research Institute, with a research grant of six million RMB.
The other was "Brain Neural Signal Response Tests," applied for by the Affiliated Laboratory of Central North Medical College, with a research grant of one hundred thousand RMB.
