Chapter 206: Zhang Wei's Prophecy
(Every one of your subscriptions, recommendations, and monthly passes is a great support for "The Great Inventor of the City"! It is not easy to write a book, and please support it a lot! Thank you!)
Zhang Wei has always given unscripted speeches, and this time was no exception, he walked on the stage, picked up the microphone, showed a smile, and began to speak, "Honorable kings, queens and members of the royal family, ladies and gentlemen,
As is customary, Nobel laureates are to give speeches, and I apologize for being absent from this session, and then I decided to combine the speech with this speech, and the topic of my speech is: We live in a great era. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There are several famous "prophecies" in the history of science and technology.
More than 100 years ago, Professor Philipp von Jolly, the teacher of the German physicist Planck, advised him, "Physics is basically a science that has been completed." ”
In 18~99, the director of the U.S. Patent Office asserted, "Everything that can be invented, has been invented." ”
Decades ago, IBM Chairman Watson Sr. predicted that "the size of the global computer market is five." ”
These prophecies seem ridiculous in retrospect, but these men were some of the most brilliant minds in their field of their time. Their predictions have failed, not because of short-sightedness, but because the demand for socio-economic development is far beyond all predictions, the potential for human innovation is far beyond everyone's imagination, and technology is endless.
Today, we can learn about news events happening on the other side of the world in a matter of minutes, communicate with people anywhere in the world, discuss work, hold meetings, buy our favorite goods at home, and even anti-gravity flying cars and intelligent robots that existed only in science fiction movies two years ago have entered our lives.
Why has our lives changed so much? Technology, of course. The accelerated development of science and technology has promoted such an unprecedented historical change, changing our production methods and lifestyles.
In my opinion, the development of science and technology will be faster and faster, many technologies are about to explode, and we have entered an era of unprecedented historical upheaval.
In the field of computers, strong artificial intelligence has emerged, a smart earth is being realized, and a virtual world is about to emerge.
In the field of advanced materials and manufacturing, we have been able to design and intelligently manufacture new materials at the molecular level. In addition, breakthroughs have been made in polymer materials, nanomaterials, graphene materials, optoelectronic materials, etc.
In space, we have already made revolutionary breakthroughs, the development of the Moon is about to become a reality, and the next step is to colonize the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
In the field of energy, there have been significant advances in solar energy, shale gas, wind energy, hydrogen energy, wireless power transmission technology, nuclear fusion, etc., and since we can develop the moon and get the abundant helium-3 on the moon, the energy problem will not be a problem for thousands of years to come.
In the field of life sciences, we have been able to read the genetic code of all existing organisms, and are exploring the mechanism and process of each genome involved in protein synthesis. That is, we can do God's work.
In addition, there are quantum computing, quantum communication, quantum networks, quantum simulation, nanorobotics, 4D printing, ecological maintenance in enclosed spaces, antimatter, dark matter, warp engines, ......
Every moment, countless high-tech products have been invented, and every minute, countless advanced theories have been put forward or realized, so I will say that we are living in a great era, because we will see the birth of a great technology, and our lives will undergo unimaginable changes. I can assert that if you spend five years of isolation in the primeval forest from now on, when you return to human society five years from now, you will think that you have come to a future world a hundred years from now.
I would like to tell you that the future is an era of science and a prosperous age for scientists, and those who are interested in scientific research should not hesitate to devote themselves to this field as soon as possible. As Newton said, he has just picked up a few beautiful shells on the shore of the sea of truth, and truth and countless invaluable knowledge of mankind are waiting to be discovered, and everyone who devotes themselves to this field will surely find their own shells.
Finally, I would like to follow the example of my predecessors in the scientific community and make a few predictions.
The first prophecy is that there are aliens in the universe and that we are likely to meet them within a hundred years.
The second prophecy states that within 50 years, we can extend our life expectancy to 500 years.
Thank you. ”
Well, these two prophecies are actually not prophecies at all, because Zhang Wei can be sure that there are really aliens in the universe, otherwise he will not be able to explain the origin of the great inventor system, and as for meeting aliens within a hundred years, it is his goal for himself. As for the second prophecy, it has been partially fulfilled, as long as the genetic evolution liquid is injected, the lifespan can be extended to one hundred and fifty years old, and as for five hundred years old, it is also the goal he gave himself.
In general, this is not only Zhang Wei's goal for himself, but also the pressure Zhang Wei puts on himself, a person like him who loves face, if he blows the out in public, he will definitely work hard to achieve it, so as not to slap himself in the face.
As soon as Zhang Wei's words fell, there was a wave of applause in the blue hall, and at this time, Zhang Wei, who was walking off the stage, seemed to suddenly remember something, stopped abruptly, turned around and returned to the stage, and picked up the microphone.
Everyone present was stunned, what kind of rhythm is this?
"Everyone. ”
Zhang Wei paused and continued, "Everyone, I'm sorry, there is one thing I forgot to announce just now, I have developed a gene injection ~ solution for the treatment of cancer, and this drug will be in clinical trials soon. ”
The audience fell silent for a few seconds, and the next moment, almost everyone stood up and applauded vigorously, and the applause was thunderous, shaking the audience.
With the "Future No. 1 Gene Injection~ Solution" that can cure 100% of AIDS, everyone in the audience subconsciously believes that the gene injection ~ liquid for the treatment of cancer invented by Zhang Wei this time can also perfectly cure cancer.
Now, there are more than 10 million new cancer patients in the world every year, and more than 7 million patients die from cancer every year, which is a terrible number! There are quite a few people who are suffering from cancer, and there are also terminal patients, and the kind of physical and psychological torture makes them realize the horror of the word "cancer." Especially in the late stages, the feeling of despair is unbearable.
It can be said that as long as the gene injection ~ solution for the treatment of cancer is confirmed to be effective, the winner of next year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine must and can only be Zhang Wei.
"Huh?"
At this time, someone found a very interesting question, if the gene injection ~ solution for the treatment of cancer is confirmed to be effective, then Zhang Wei has conquered AIDS and cancer, these two achievements are enough to win the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine, then Zhang Wei is competing with himself for the Nobel Prize! This is really an interesting thing, and it will inevitably become a beautiful talk!
Next, the other Nobel laureates also took the stage one by one to deliver their short thank-you speeches, however, everyone present was still in a state of shock, and they didn't even pay much attention to what these Nobel laureates said, and the applause was sparse, which made these Nobel laureates a little depressed, "Being in the same era as a genius like Zhang Wei, even if they have made great achievements, they will be overshadowed, because Zhang Wei's light is too dazzling, enough to cover up the light of all other scientists." This era seems to be an era exclusive to Zhang Wei alone. ”
As all the Nobel laureates finished their speeches, the banquet also came to an end.
At this time, Zhang Wei was already surrounded by people, including scientists, members of the Swedish royal family, and celebrities. (To be continued.) )
