"Lao Xie, Lao Zhou, do you have a sense of mission?"

Huang Kun asked suddenly.

"A sense of purpose?"

The two were puzzled.

"Let's go! Lao Xie, you are sixty-five years old this year, Lao Zhou should be sixty-six years old, I am one year older than you, we are all half-buried people, I thought that life was like this, but SMIC was born, the country realized the importance of the electronics industry, and handed over the talents of the whole country to us.

They are all the future of the country! They are all the babybumps of the country, and what we old guys have to do now is to train them and let them smoothly take over the baton from us, and we will not see the day when the country will become rich and strong, but I hope they can see that day.

At that time, you and I will also be relieved under Jiuquan, because they are all our apprentices, and they also have a share of the credit for their achievements, isn't this the greatest achievement in our lives?"

Huang Kun is a steady person, but at this time he is also very excited, as if he has seen that a powerful country is about to be born.

"...... sense of mission!"

These three words echoed in Liu Lang's mind for a long time.

In the first generation of scientists such as Zhou Mingxiong and Huaizhi, this strong sense of mission has always run through their lives, and they have also followed their own mission and struggled all their lives, building a country that is poor and white into a country with a good industrial, agricultural, and scientific and technological foundation.

Don't look at the country's current economy is still not worth mentioning in the eyes of Westerners, but you must know that since the middle of the nineteenth century, the country has been caught in the flames of war, civil strife and foreign enemies are constantly surrounded, and the long-term war has made the country's national industry unable to develop at all, especially in the war with the island country, all the country's industrial base was destroyed, not to mention any machinery, even the simplest daily necessities can not be manufactured by themselves.

When the People's Republic of China was just founded, the country's foundation was really clean, and all the most basic industries of iron and steel plants, power plants, and mines had to be rebuilt.

In just two or three years, the country's annual steel output has soared from less than one million tons to five or six million tons of thermal power plants, cities and towns have basically been electrified, coal mines and oil fields have been discovered, and they have taken off the hat of an oil-poor country.

How did the countless inspiring achievements come about? It depends on the broad masses of workers and the unified decision-making of the state leadership, but the most important thing is the reliance on scientists like Xiong Huaizhi, Zhou Ming, Huang Kun, and Xie Xide.

The broad masses of workers can be mobilized, and the decisions made at the top of the country are easy to make, but without scientists, those achievements will undoubtedly be in vain.

Liu Lang always believes that the most fundamental driving force for the development of human society is science and technology, in which science leads technology and leads the development of the entire human race.

Don't look at what Qin Emperor Han Wu is in the world, what Peter the Great and what Emperor Napoleon, they are called great men, and they have established achievements that ordinary people cannot achieve in several lifetimes, but in Liu Lang's eyes, the achievements of great men may not be much stronger than some famous scientists.

The merits of great men lie in a country or a nation, but the merits of great scientists are sometimes the entire human race, just like Einstein, his achievements are more magnificent than those so-called great men, if the footsteps of human beings will one day go out of the earth to the universe, then Einstein's achievements will become a light shining on mankind in the face of endless deep space.

That's why Liu Lang has so much respect for scientists, especially the older generation of Chinese scientists, who have to do more to popularize science, train new people, teach workers and make equipment while studying scientific theories.

The work of scientists to be done, the work of engineers to be done, and even the frequent guest appearance of workers to go to the front line to do it themselves, this kind of hands-on work is much stronger than those scientists of the "new era" more than 20 years later.

It stands to reason that after 20 or 30 years, the country has become richer, has made tremendous improvements in all aspects, and its economic strength has reached the second highest level in the world, but why has the level of scientific research not been improved in line with its economic strength? That is, there are many scholars who do not have the sense of mission of the older generation of scientists.

If these people could be like Huang Kun, Xiong Huaizhi and Zhou Ming, the country's science and technology would have been improved long ago.

It has been five years since Liu Lang was reborn, and returning to the eighties made him feel a lot of discomfort. Blocked information, this is a kind of torture for a person who has experienced the era of mobile Internet, but he has seen with his own eyes the feelings of the older generation of scientists, they have no concept of personal interests in their minds, only national honor They never want to seek benefits for themselves, only for the development of the country, this lofty belief is deeply moved Liu Lang, Liu Lang asked himself, if he is in the position of the other party, he will never reach the realm of these old scientists, of course, the descendants have not experienced the life of the older generation, do not know what the weight of the word country is in their hearts, but treat their own careers, the descendants are still far inferior to them。

The rapid development of the times, in just 20 years the whole country, and even the whole world has undergone earth-shaking changes, it can be said that if the current people travel to 20 years later, they must think that they have come to another world, but the development of the times has also made many people lose their feelings, in this world, those who have achieved great things must have feelings, scientists are so, politicians are the same, the feelings of scientists are to explore the mysteries of the world, and the feelings of the whole human politician are for the welfare of the country and the nation, even if it is an ordinary person, maybe they do not have the same ambition as scientists and politicians, but as long as they have the feelings of being kind to others and working hard, that will also be a noble person, without feelings, this person will have no soul, and if scientists and politicians have no feelings, there will be no hope for the country.

"The feelings of the older generation cannot be cut off, they must continue to continue!"

This is what Liu Lang thinks at the moment.

Huang Kun, Xie Xide and Zhou Ming, these old scientists, don't think so much now, they just want to contribute all their income to the country while they can still work, and cultivate these young people.
