Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Chapter 1046 Scientific research culture construction

On October 31, the China trip came to the fourth day.

The representatives of Huami technology companies are still in Hangzhou. This morning, everyone went to Alibaba, Geely and other companies headquartered in Hangzhou. At the same time, they went to the Science and Technology City Midtown in Hangzhou.

In the afternoon, everyone came to the last stop in Hangzhou, West Lake University.

For entrepreneurs, whether it is business studies or talents, it is the reason why they want to visit West Lake University.

During the trip to West Lake University, in addition to representatives of American technology companies, a delegation of American universities also came to Hangzhou.

Just after lunch, Meng Qian saw in the lobby of the hotel that Isglub from Princeton University and many leaders of American universities had arrived.

“Mr. Meng!” Isglub stepped forward and embraced Meng Qian enthusiastically. Although there was only a brief contact before, Isglub seemed to have a deep recognition of Meng Qian.

After the two greeted each other, Meng Qian shook hands with several other university leaders one by one.

“How do you feel in our colleges and universities in China in the past two days?” Meng Qian asked with a smile.

Isglub said from his own perspective, “The overall teaching quality of Huaxia Colleges needs to be improved, but we did see a lot of surprises.

And I heard that West Lake University is the pioneer of many ideas, so I must have a good experience this time. ”

Meng Qian patted Isglub on the shoulder, and then shook hands one by one with other university leaders from the United States.

At 1 o’clock in the afternoon, everyone set off for West Lake University.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the university, everyone saw the students waiting here.

The faces of college students are always full of youthfulness, but the biggest visual feature right now is no different from skin color.

At this time, at the gate of West Lake University, there are students with different skin colors and appearances. Everyone is here to welcome the arrival of the delegations of the two countries.

“West Lake University has been officially established less than ten years ago, and it has attracted so many overseas students.” Isglub sighed as he stood beside Meng Qian.

“Because in addition to the students who apply directly, there are many exchange students every year.” Meng Qian told the facts, there is no need for others to have a wrong perception.

But even so, everyone still feels the attraction of West Lake University. If there is not enough attraction, others are reluctant to exchange it.

Walking to the teaching building, everyone saw the introduction of teachers here. The characteristics of West Lake University’s teachers are also very distinctive. A large number of business elites are teachers here, full-time or part-time.

For example, Meng Qian will come to at least five classes every month.

“These guys come every month?” Nadella couldn’t help but ask when he saw a few names.

When everyone looked at it, many of the people he pointed at knew well. They were the top executives of several European companies, and there was no shortage of the names of the CEOs of several European companies.

Meng Qian nodded with certainty, “Even if they are part-time teachers, they have to sign an agreement and ensure attendance. If you can see their names here, it means that they will take time to come every month.”

Isglub took a sudden look at Bill Gates and joked, “Mr. Bill owes us several lessons.”

Bill Gates made an apologetic expression, Meng Qian led a smile, and everyone continued to move forward.

Many classrooms in the teaching building are in class. From a distance, everyone can see AR glasses, 5G remote control equipment and other technological products.

“West Lake University is a benchmark university of modern technology-assisted teaching and a pioneer.” Meng Qian can be regarded as boasting.

No one retorted. Everyone found an empty classroom and went in to take a closer look at the technologies.

“Each student is equipped with a personal intelligent teaching assistant system?” Bill Gates is most concerned about this thing.

Meng Qian nodded and confirmed, “Students will be bound to the personal intelligent learning assistance system when they enter the school, and this intelligent system will accompany them throughout their studies at school.

After graduation, all the data can be directly transferred to the cloud or their own device, and how to use it later is up to them. ”

Everyone vacated the equipment in the classroom for a while, and then followed Meng Qian to the laboratory building.

The laboratory building is divided into public laboratories and special laboratories.

The public laboratory is provided free of charge for those in need, just make an appointment in advance.

Specialized laboratories are laboratories with clear goals and long-term use by the team.

“Most of the specialized laboratories are cooperating with companies?” Koziannick realized after a while.

“Well, about 70% of the projects here are initiated by companies and students and jointly participated in research and development.”

“This also means that the students of West Lake University have already started frequent contact with corporate projects during their stay.”

“And the equipment here is also very advanced.”

“After all, cooperating with so many giant companies, you can’t be poor.” Meng Qian said in a ridiculous tone, but everyone can hear more of the meaning behind it.

“The cooperation between West Lake University and enterprises is very close, and the difference from traditional universities is very obvious. No wonder West Lake University can make so many donations a year.” Bill Gates whispered in Isgrub’s ear.

Isglub also said in a low voice, “Our U.S. universities and companies rely more on talent links, but West Lake University uses talents, faculty, and projects to link all aspects.

We can discuss this point when we go back. ”

“This is the Basic Science Research Center of West Lake University, right.” Moving on, Isglub pointed to an area and said, with a slightly different tone.

It can be seen that Isglub cares about this place very much, and the leaders of other colleges and universities in the same industry also care about this place. This makes the representatives of those technology companies a little confused, because they don’t know why they care about it so much. local.

It wasn’t until they followed in and took a tour, coupled with Isglub’s explanation, everyone finally realized the value of this place.

“There are so many majors that ordinary universities don’t dare to touch…” Bill Gates looked at Meng Qian in disbelief, “How do you spread the basic scientific research so broadly?

Is China going to take a broad and broad route of basic scientific research? No, it doesn’t seem to be the case either.

Your projects… how do you build the faculty team? What is the basis for the project? What is the financial support plan? ”

“This is probably the reason why you feel puzzled.” Meng Qian said with a smile, “You think too much. Nowadays, people seem to have a habit of doing things. They have to have a purpose and have a result when they do everything. , And even have to be rewarded.

The reason why I want to take you to the Pure Land Laboratory first is to make everyone realize that there are such a group of people in this world who do not have so many reasons to do some things. Maybe it is because they like it, or it is because of curiosity. Perhaps it is an inexplicable sense of mission, similar to the chosen son of heaven.

What we are doing now is indeed not a broad and broad line of basic scientific research, but the construction of scientific research culture. ”

“Scientific research culture construction?”

“Most scientific research fields, especially basic scientific research fields, are in fact a dangerous path with invisible light and traps everywhere. You should all be aware that universities now seem to have many majors and are involved in a wide range of fields, but in fact The areas that we have not yet touched are far from knowing how many times our current majors.

We don’t know what the future development needs, how far human technology can go, and how long it will take to make breakthroughs in modern technology. We don’t know anything, but we should know what kind of attitude is the most correct to engage in scientific research. .

At least from our more than ten years of experience, in this field, don’t think too much.

Just as many colleges and universities like to win the Nobel Prize, you should know this too.

The Nobel Prize has been developed for so many years, and many rules have begun to be understood by everyone. Which projects are more likely to be awarded the Nobel Prize, and which breakthroughs are the areas with high probability of winning the Nobel Prize in the near future. Colleges and universities will hold meetings on this issue every year. , And increase investment in corresponding fields to increase the probability of winning the Nobel Prize this year.

To be honest, many people use the Nobel Prize to mock our country’s backward science and technology. After all, the influence and gold content of the Nobel Prize are still there, just as the Neon Country saved the publishing industry with a Nobel Prize.

But after some discussion we decided to focus on the construction of scientific research culture.

It’s not that we don’t care about the Nobel Prize, let alone that we look down on the Nobel Prize, but that we have to make a first choice at the moment when China Science and Technology has just begun to explode. After all, our energy and financial resources are also limited, and our The choice is scientific research culture first.

As for the Nobel Prize, it will be there in the later period, and there will be no.

After all, China will not win a few Nobel Prizes in the next ten years, or even if it will not be awarded the Nobel Prize in the next ten years, the impact on us is not so great. Anyway, taking a few will still be ridiculed.

However, if Huaxia universities can comprehensively promote the construction of scientific research culture, a group of people will be proactively entered into more scientific research fields over a period of ten years, thus forming a snowball effect.

Then I believe that in 20 or 30 years, our current decision must be more meaningful to China and to mankind than to win a few more Nobel Prizes. ”

Meng Qian explained all this calmly, and some of the people around him were a little turbulent.
