Chapter 657: Establishment of Science and Technology Awards

In fact, the state of Chu is also facing a potential economic crisis. The state of Chu, which masters raw materials, must export these raw materials in large quantities to realize its value. Chu state is in the downstream of an industry. And Qin State is in the upper reaches of an industry. Qin's industry needs a lot of cheap mineral resources. At present, these resources are mainly concentrated in the south of the Yangtze River in Chu State. This forms two extremes.

These nobles are naturally aware of the current situation. But they don't understand strategy, but they all have their own small abacus. They are all calculating the actual gains and losses of their own interests.

Obviously, this contact is only the beginning, and it is impossible to reach an agreement in a sense at once. However, as long as there is this beginning, it is enough. Next. As long as more contact is natural, Qin can achieve what he wants.

Just when the two countries of Qin and Chu secretly contacted for the first time. A proposal was submitted to Shang Wen's desk, and the office assistant put the document in the first place.

This is a report jointly submitted by professors from several universities in Xianyang. The content of this report is to set up special science and technology awards to encourage the development of science and technology in Qin State. Shang Wen also ordered his assistant to gather information from the Qin State Science and Technology Patent Office and compare it to Qin State.

To be honest, Shang Wen himself felt that a scientific award like the Nobel Prize should be established to encourage the research results of those scientists. Because the establishment of the award will help promote the development of science and technology in Qin.

The development of science and technology is actually the success of Qin's education. If there is no education as the foundation, then the upper-level achievements of this science and technology cannot be converted. Shangwen believes that this is indeed on the agenda. And immediately.

It happened that Qin Science and Technology Patent Office also submitted a similar report. This report is mainly combined with the two reports to see the development speed of science education in Qin State.

Qin’s basic education is all free. In other words, the Qin government will spend part of the money to allow Qin's children to finish high school. But the university, that is, the further research of science and technology. What is needed is that the students do it themselves. Obviously this is impossible to accomplish. But Qin state-owned various enterprises. Eighty percent of the technical personnel of these companies come from these universities and colleges. A small part comes from society. This shows that talent training began to concentrate on universities and colleges. The high degree of importance enterprises attach to science and technology has promoted the renewal of rapid technological development.

Qin State is experiencing a super explosive growth of scientific knowledge. In almost two years, Qin State has gone through the accumulation of scientific knowledge that will take several centuries to complete. When Shang Wen saw this report and looked back at the past, he realized that Qin's science and technology had developed so fast.

Although it is relatively lagging in theory. The results are amazing. But over time. Especially the separation of the gap between science and technology. This situation is limiting the further enlargement of Qin's achievements.

Science is the use of known scientific theories and techniques to explore unknown areas. This requires an accumulation of knowledge. This also meant that Qin had to invest more in capital and intelligence. And technology, you don't need these. It can be obtained through certain technical experience. This experience comes from constant repetition, modification, etc. The difference between the two is very big.

Now Qin's scientific achievements are largely derived from technical experience. Such as electricity. Qin's industrial workers invented and created many new things. For example, electric sewing machines. Chainsaw. After the emergence of ammonium nitrate, dry batteries appeared in Qin State. The appearance of dry batteries led Qin State to acquire a portable flashlight. And so on, these are what people get based on experience.

However, this report from the Science and Technology Patent Office shows that Qin's scientific and technological achievements are declining in numbers. Although this reduction is not visible for the time being, it faintly worries Qin's patent office staff. This kind of research focusing only on results and ignoring scientific theories has caused some hidden dangers in science and technology to appear in the State of Qin. Shang Wen had to re-examine this situation.

time. What Qin State lacks most is this kind of time accumulation. Especially in the future, the accumulation of science and technology of Qin State is more important. Shangwen was born in science and engineering, so he naturally knew that to complete a scientific and technological achievement, he needed to understand the accumulation of technology. This accumulation takes a long time to complete.

In fact, the State of Qin is going through an important turning point. Although Qin State has absolute advantages in science and technology, this advantage has great potential factors. Qin State has extremely extreme utilitarianism. Qin State always hopes to spend the least amount of money in a short time, and it is best to achieve a one-time successful result. This can be reflected in the innovation of military weapons.

But the more so, the greater the potential hidden dangers of Qin. Shangwen feels that Qin’s current situation is very similar to that of the American electrical revolution. Although the invention king appeared in the United States, many creative inventions are in the United States, but this kind of invention is only an invention that is close to life. But important scientific and technological theories have appeared in Europe. Such as the famous theory of relativity. Although the United States has several successful theories. Such as liquid rockets. But the final result is in Europe. Especially Germany. Germany is a country that attaches great importance to education, and many important science and technology are in Germany. If it were not for the Second World War, the United States would not have had such a rapid technological development.

Nuclear technology, modern rocket technology, and various advanced technologies all come from scientific research in Germany. The German research has spent a long time in research. This research time includes countless technical experiments and capital investment. Material improvement. The time that Qin needs. Sneak research some feasible theories and then gradually explore forward.

With this in mind, Shangwen believes that it is necessary to change the current extreme practice of Qin. In other words, let scientific research calm down. Rather than indulging in short-term research results, we must build on this research results. The demand of the market is always so blind, expanding, pursuing the shortest time and the greatest benefit. The government should promptly give guidance. Otherwise, there will be big problems.

The reports of professors from universities and colleges also have this meaning, and Shang Wen thinks it makes sense. It was decided to set up a special science and technology award for Qin State. However, in terms of the specific awards and the time of their issuance, Shangwen made major adjustments with reference to future generations and the current situation. The awards issued were extended to education. Mainly an education method that can be successfully guided. In addition. There is also the time for awards. Set for four seasons. Because if it is done once a year, it will be difficult to calm down other science and technology. The variety should also increase.
