Chapter 231 Building a Nest to Attract the Phoenix
Winter is coming, and the water surfaces of rivers and lakes in Weissensee are frozen.
The ice was a bit lively this year. Some of the crew members brought by Baron Adikon came from the dark land of the north. During their break, they tied two wooden sticks to the soles of their feet and skated on the ice. This is a fun way to play. It soon became popular in Weissenburg.
“Let’s go skating together...”
Maria took a rare opportunity to drag Frederick to play in the study.
Frederick hugged her over and rubbed his face, then shook his head slightly and said, "You guys go and play, I have something else to do."
Maria pouted and left, and after a while, a man walked into the study. People, if you don't pay attention, you will think it is a little white bear.
Susan, who was evolving towards hibernation, walked in, looked at Frederick with her big golden watery eyes, and said timidly: "Will you go skating with us?"
Frederick smiled and stretched out his hand to pinch her little nose, and then said: "You guys go and play, I want to write something. Be careful not to freeze. I don't know the weather here or in the south."
Su Shan returned without success, and Lilu came next. Without saying a word, she took Frederick's arm and started to walk out.
Of course she couldn't pull him away, but Frederick pulled her over and rubbed his face. She was so embarrassed that she punched Frederick twice and ran away.
The study finally became quiet, and Frederick continued to write furiously.
After a while Psyche came in, and Frederick was startled and asked: "Are you playing with them too?"
Psyche said seriously: "I was They bought it with sesame candy. What are they busy with? It’s rare that it’s not snowing today.”
Frederick replied: “I have found a serious problem and I need to solve it now.”
"Talk about it." Psyche seemed to have forgotten what she was here for. She poured two cups of hot milk tea and took it over before sitting down at the table.
Frederick stopped writing and asked: "Have you heard that they want to build a spherical autoclave with a diameter of 3 meters?"
Psyche nodded and waited for the next step.
Frederick picked up his cup of milk tea and took a sip, and said in a deep voice: "This incident reminded me that the rapid development in the past two years has made people too optimistic. In the past, I just walked, I started running recently, and my speed is much faster than walking, so some people think that as long as they work harder, they can run faster than the sound on two legs."
"I asked the bank to take over the industry that does not need my signature this year. Check out the loan statistics, there are many similar problems.”
"The final analysis of such a phenomenon is that we have too few talents and cannot keep up with development."
"Although Ogilvy and Mather have made achievements in one aspect, they are not omniscient and omnipotent. The ability is insufficient when it comes to projects supported by disciplines.”
“Just like this time, he and others did not calculate the design of the high-pressure vessel, but just piled up materials, and the result was not enough.”
After listening to him quietly, Psyche asked: "So, you want to recruit more talents?"
Frederick did not answer this question, but I asked her: "What do you think is science?"
After hearing this, Psyche rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "After all, I have received nine years of compulsory education, so I am not a nine-year-old fish."
Frederick asked her with a smile: "Did you get the top three students?"
Psyche replied proudly: "You got a wall."
"I kind of understand what you mean." She returned to the original topic, " In many worlds like your hometown, there are indeed many people who put the cart before the horse and believe that nuclear weapons and electronic computers are equal to science. However, those are just iconic products of scientific development, not science itself."
"Science. It is an orderly knowledge system based on testable explanations and predictions about the form and organization of objective things. It is a knowledge system with truth. ”
"There are people who sometimes have trouble turning their heads after traveling to the magical world. They don't realize that since magic can be taught and developed, it means that it is a kind of knowledge that has been systematized and formulated. This is also one of the characteristics of science itself. . ”
“Experiments here are now considered to be a process of careful observation, description and classification. Most of the experiments are about adding more water to the noodles or adding more water to the noodles and getting new results. There is a lack of generalization, let alone summary. Use mathematical tools. ""What, you want to be bacon?"
Frederick nodded after taking a sip of hot milk tea. It was really nice to have someone who understood his thoughts. convenient.
Francis Bacon believed that experience should be regarded as the only real source of knowledge, and then use thinking to sort out the experience.
Now someone had taken the first step, and Frederick wanted to finish the rest.
"What do you want to do?" Psyche asked him with interest, "Publish another book?"
Frederick shook his head and said seriously: "I I want to build an Academy of Sciences, an Academy of Sciences that has nothing to do with politics or beliefs, and only focuses on scientific research. "
Psyche said with a smile: "What a big ambition, if nothing else, the first president of this Academy of Sciences. The leader must be highly respected, have results that convince everyone, and must be fair and righteous, and be able to coordinate with those proud scholars. You... uh... idiot! Are you trying to trick me?"
The more she talked, the more she felt that among the people Frederick knew, she was the only one who best met the above conditions.
An innocent smile appeared on Frederick's face, obviously he had Psyche's idea.
Psyche was silent for a moment, and finally sighed and said, "Oh, forget it, I have to leave early. Let's leave some shadow before leaving."
Felt Lie was stunned for a moment, then calmed down and asked: "When will you leave?"
Psyche replied: "More than two hundred years later, there has been some turmoil in the neighboring worlds recently. Leave here." The window period has been advanced."
"Oh." Frederick nodded, "Then I can't send you off, just give me a stick of incense before leaving."
Then he returned to the topic of the Academy of Sciences: "The role of this Academy of Sciences is to bring together talents. Both professional scholars and people who like to do research can join. The Academy of Sciences organizes various activities regularly or irregularly."
" The Academy of Sciences has established a board of directors for management, and the personnel are elected. At the same time, it has established an achievement reward system and a peer expert review system.” ”
Psyche said angrily: “Let me add it, right?”
“But that’s okay, at least your attempts to set up various awards have failed. , people ignore you and use the platform of this Academy of Sciences to carry out this work.”
"I will pay you the bonus. In a few days I will collect all the things I have left and deposit them in the bank. The interest for one year will be enough to use as a bonus."
Frederick smiled Said: "Then name it after you, call it 'Psyche Award'?"
Psyche thought for a while, then said with a bad smile: "Let's call it 'Golden Durian Award', except The prize, the winner also has a silver-plated durian.”
Frederick’s expression was distorted when he heard it, but she paid for it, so let her do it.
But if you think about it carefully, a durian made of silver as a prize is still a magical fruit from the far east. It is quite a gimmick in terms of substance and name.
"Let's do this for now." Psyche stood up, "This can't be done in one day. You go skating with your girls first."
Frederick was stunned. He scratched his head and said, "Why are you mentioning this again?"
"That's for sure." Psyche rolled up her sleeves and said, "I received their reward, and I will arrest you even if I take action. Get out.”
Frederick was speechless.
