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.
