Chapter 1349 The Eternal Temple (Third update, please subscribe)
It is difficult for a pursuer to become the first, so be the leader!
This is even more true in scientific research.
“If we just blindly chase others, we will always be able to follow others and eat dust. We must be scientific pioneers.”
Being a pioneer comes with a price. After all, no one can guarantee whether the research direction is correct. If you go in the wrong direction, your efforts will be in vain.
Sometimes clicking on the wrong technology tree is more terrifying than being a chaser. Just like in another world, the Soviets directly clicked on the electronic tube. The consequences are disastrous. Even if they wake up just 10 years later, the consequences are It's already doomed. Even if you want to recover later, it will be difficult to recover.
Sometimes this world is so cruel. As a chaser, you will be left behind by others and you can’t even see the taillights. If you want to surpass, once you click on the wrong technology tree, the result will not only be visible. No more tail lights.
So, for late-developing countries, this choice seems to be difficult, because if you are not careful, you will be in catastrophe.
However, at NBC, this does not seem to have any impact, because there is one person who will hold the general direction.
Every weekend, as long as there are no accidents, Li Yian, who is also a scholar, will invite some young scholars to visit. In the past, it was at the official residence, but now it is at the "new official residence".
Here they talk freely about academic issues, discuss scientific theories and the development of applied science and technology. Although Li Yian acts as a listener most of the time, sometimes he will play the role of a "prophet" through appropriate reminders or guidance. , allowing those young scholars to go further on the road of scientific exploration.
Is this "cheating"?
Of course not, but for the common progress of all mankind.
"...While conducting research on semiconductors, I discovered..."
Looking at the young man who was talking, Li Yian's eyes were encouraging, indicating that he should continue talking. .
Cui Qi!
PhD in Physics from NBC University!
When he saw this name, Li Yian made sure to check his file. Yes, it was Cui Qi from Baofeng County, Central Plains Province. In another world, he discovered and explained the electron quantum For this special phenomenon of fluid, Cui Qi won the Nobel Prize in Physics together with European and American scientists.
In this world, he still chose physics and continued to engage in research on solid-state physics, and his research direction was still semiconductors.
Sometimes, life is so wonderful.
Although Li Yi'an did not study physics, he relied on the physics skills he had systematically instilled and integrated the physics knowledge he learned in high school and college, and he stood on the shoulders of historical giants.
In the field of physics, he can definitely be regarded as a "master" level.
In fact, to a certain extent, this system is basically a "master system". Its purpose is not to teach Li Yian to master skills, but to make him a master in a certain field with its blessing!
At least a master in academic knowledge.
Although this kind of master is "talking on paper", in many cases, it is a copy of "writing".
But for NBC’s scientific development, it is the biggest booster!
Humanity will encounter countless pits on the road of science. Most of the time, scientists use their lives to fill them up little by little!
Like Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao, there are many people who made breakthroughs in the research field at a very young age and became famous as if they were stuck in life.
What is the biggest bug in human science research?
In many sciences, when they are young, they put forward a certain theory or make a new discovery, and then spend ten or twenty years conducting research, and after continuous trial and error, they achieve success. By the time, they have grown old and thus missed the era when they are most likely to produce results.
Because the human brain ages, correspondingly, perception, memory, computing speed, reasoning ability, etc. will continue to decline with age. This physiological phenomenon is called "fluid intelligence."
Human fluid intelligence reaches its peak around the age of 20, reaches its peak at the age of 25, and slowly declines after the age of 25, so the older you get, the lower your fluid intelligence becomes.
By the time these geniuses make corresponding breakthroughs, they are already old!
What about the next generation?
Although in-depth research can be conducted on their basis,... the gap between talent and genius is obvious.
Genius is genius!
Li Yian has a clear understanding of this, especially at salon gatherings in the past few years, where he has indeed come into contact with many geniuses.
It’s just that the life of a genius is limited, and the research they conduct in related fields is, from a certain perspective, a waste of life.
So, this is exactly the goal of opening this salon. Its purpose is to "point out" these geniuses so that they will not work in the wrong direction for decades.
In other words, waste their precious lives.
From a probability perspective, the number of geniuses is limited.
If we look at the long history of human science, we can clearly see that there are only a few geniuses in each period of time. Even in every period of time, it is those geniuses who promote the scientific development of mankind.
Giving full play to the intellectual level of genius is definitely an extremely beneficial thing for human beings. After all, geniuses are more likely to succeed and achieve breakthroughs in certain fields.
So, we must cherish their lives and let them devote their limited lives to the unlimited cause of science.
For this reason, it helps geniuses and talents of this era broaden their horizons and gives them inspiration beyond the times, thereby promoting the leap of the entire era.
To put it simply, it is to give full play to the role of genius and promote the growth of talents.
Key breakthroughs, focusing on the big and letting go of the small.
Actually, this matter is very simple. When chatting with Yang Zhenning and others, you can talk about quantum physics. With Cui Qi, you can also talk about two-dimensional electronic physics. All it takes is appropriate theoretical guidance.
In fact, sometimes, the "key trick" is the layer of window paper. Just like the invention of optical fiber, the core breakthrough is to make glass with higher purity.
But this discovery took Gao Kun decades.
Sometimes, the scientific development of mankind is so incredible, as if there is a huge "BUG" in human society, which restricts the development of human society.
In the past few years, Li Yian has been overcoming this "BUG" by chatting at the "New Official Residence" science salon and discussing theoretical issues with contemporary scientists.
As the "king of cross-border understanding", he does not want to be Einstein himself, but to give appropriate guidance, just like a teacher, giving them guidance at the appropriate time and helping them to solve the problem. Open the clouds.
The rest is left to them. After all, they have to attack head-on to achieve breakthroughs in theory and application.
My role is, at best, the top brother on the list, giving them "rockets" to achieve "acceleration of human civilization"!
That night, at the science salon of the "New Official Residence", there was not only Cui Qi, but also many other people, most of whom were talented people.
No one knows whether there are geniuses among them, but what is certain is that in the past few years, too many young scientists have come out of this salon.
Some of them have made certain breakthroughs and progress in many scientific fields. As for how high they can push human civilization to.
I’m afraid only God knows.
Li Yian is not clear about the future, but when discussing academic issues and applied scientific research with these young scholars,
Looking at them, what Li Yian saw was the future.
"... Chips, also known as integrated circuits, are the future. This time, Deep Blue 2000's 100 million computing power really shocked the world, but this is only the beginning. In the future, a chip the size of a fingernail will It may have the computing power of Deep Blue 2000, or even equivalent to dozens or hundreds of Deep Blues..."
Such a conclusion naturally aroused their curiosity. In addition to being surprised, there will naturally be some among them. asked.
“How is this possible?”
This question is not worth mentioning. Compared with such surprise, Li Yian would rather someone ask:
"How do we make it happen?"
Yes, how do we make it happen?
Facing a question from a young scholar, Li Yian smiled slightly and then talked about his "conception".
The "Science Salon" that night was the same as in the past, starting at 6:30 in the evening and ending at midnight. After the salon ended, Li Yian, as usual, sent these young scholars away. I specially came to the new official residence, put them in the car one by one, and said goodbye to them one by one.
“Goodbye…”
Looking at the car driving away, Li Yian waved his hand, looking at his sons around him from the corner of his eye, he said:
"Some of them will become eternal!"
"What? ”
The father’s question stunned the brothers Li Yixuan and Li Yiyuan. In the past few years, they have also joined the salon, but they are not participants, but onlookers.
“Power is an ancient temple that can stand for hundreds of years. But the people who hold power will change. With the death of the emperor, the greatness of the past has become small and the worship has turned into smoke.”
Standing in front of this majestic palace, Li Yian's mood was calm:
"But scientists are eternal. People will remember Archimedes, Newton, Watt, Einstein and many scientists. The names will live on the names of those scientists. Even hundreds of years later, their names will still be engraved in the temple of mankind. They are the ones who are eternal!"
When I said these words! , Li Yian is calm. In the past nearly twenty years, perhaps sometimes, as a cross-border understanding king, he feels that he is omnipotent,
but he knows very well what is eternal. .
Even the greatest empires will fall, and the greatest emperors will die.
With the fall of the empire and the death of the emperor. The greatness of the past will turn into insignificance, and the worship will turn into smoke.
Only some people have gained eternity, those scientists who promote the progress of human society.
Compared to them, politicians... are simply the scum of the world!
Politicians who don’t hold back scientists are already good politicians. Politicians who know how to promote scientists’ research are very rare.
While feeling emotional, Li Yian said with a smile as he looked at the children around him who were already taller than him.
"So, our responsibility is to create a good environment for their research, so that our names can be eternal in their glory..."
Li Yi'an is good at borrowing light.
“Dad, you are also a scientist!”
Li Yian was stunned for a moment at his son’s words, and then smiled:
“I... almost forgot This is it. In life, there are always choices. I..."
Turning around and walking towards the majestic palace, Li Yian silently said:
"Choose NBC!"
At this time, his figure gradually became brighter under the light. Elongated, integrated with the temple of power...
