"Is this because my country's current system is not suitable for the development of science and technology?" is worthy of being a student from Beijing Normal University, Liang Xiao dared to speak like this even in the studio of the imperial court station.

Lu Rui's face turned dark suddenly, didn't she say that the people who came in had been screened by various schools? How could she still ask such a question? She looked at the leader behind the audience.

Lu Qiujian stretched out his hand to stop the staff's actions, and replied frankly, "It is true that part of it is due to the system, but this is not the key to the problem!"

"If we talk about the reason for the system, then the system of the Red Empire is similar to that of our country, but they also have many Nobel laureates such as Landau, Kapitsa, and Semenov! Even in the turbulent years of our country, there are many Nobel Prize-level achievements such as Mr. Tu Youyou's artemisinin, Mr. Tang Feifan's Chlamydia trachomatis, and the well-known synthetic insulin! So this is not the decisive factor!"

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the most important task of China's scientific community has been to catch up with the world's cutting-edge level, and the country's orientation is to focus on industrial applied research rather than basic research; while the Nobel Prize focuses more on the field of basic research, and it is not easy for applied research to win awards unless it is a subversive achievement!"

"Basic research is very expensive, and there is no return in the short term! This is not something that ordinary countries can afford! The Large Hadron Collider cost billions of dollars, and the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory cost $350 million, and it was irrational for China to conduct these studies in that era!"

For a country that is in ruins and waiting to be rebuilt, understanding the truth of the universe is far less important than how to increase the output of iron and steel and chemical fertilizers! As far as the country is concerned, Mr. Yuan's hybrid rice technology is far more important than the 10 Nobel Prizes! The state has not invested enough in this area, and it will naturally become difficult to win the award! "Just imagine, in the sixties and seventies, was it more important to build a power station or a collider? I am afraid that no rational politician would choose the latter.

For example, the former researcher of the Purple Mountain Observatory discovered the evidence of the possible existence of dark matter only after he found the advanced thin ionization energizer of the United States! Without this equipment, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars, he would not have been able to write the article published in Nature! The same is true for me. If it weren't for CERN's Large Hadron Collider, I wouldn't have discovered dark matter so early!

"In the field of application, you can seek funding from the higher authorities, and you can cooperate with enterprises! How to cooperate in the basic field? Which enterprise will be interested in studying gravitational waves and dark matter? Without experimental equipment and low salary, it will become normal for groups of talented researchers to either go abroad or change careers, and it will become normal if they cannot produce Nobel Prize-level results!"

For example, last year's award-winning achievements by Professor Higgs were published more than 40 years ago, but they were not finally awarded until last year!" "Lu Qiujian's rapid award for dark matter is a special case!" "China was still catching up with the pace of advanced science and technology in the West in that era, and it was not until this century that it gradually came into line with the world's advanced level, and the older generation of scientists used their lives to catch up with the pace of the West, and the task of surpassing them fell on the shoulders of our generation!"

Lu Qiujian finished speaking. The audience in the audience all showed thoughtful expressions; when he saw that the audience's mood was a little depressed, he began to cheer them up again, "Hehe, but don't be depressed! Now that our country's economic conditions have improved, investment in basic fields has gradually increased, and China's research and experimental development expenditure last year exceeded 300 billion yuan, and many key projects have also begun to be launched, for example, Sun Yat-sen University has restarted the Tianqin Project this year! If they can discover gravitational waves, it will also be a Nobel Prize-level achievement. Maybe in less than ten years, we will be able to see this scene!" This plan is also the result of himself and the prime minister's proposal.

"The golden age of another scientist is about 40 years old, so it takes about 20 years for a college student to enter the school and complete his studies, and then from the beginning of scientific research to the achievement of results! Since the resumption of the college entrance examination 30 years ago, China has accumulated a large number of highly skilled personnel. They are gradually dominating the field of scientific research!"

In 2001, the number of papers included in SCI ranked eighth in the world, and rose to sixth in 2002. In 2004, it rose to fifth, and now the gap from fourth place is very small, and it may overtake it in the year after next year! It is true that the number of papers in this paper has a certain amount of moisture. However, it can also show that the number of people who have invested in scientific research in China is very large! Otherwise, no one will copy it! At present, China does not have the technology to use artificial intelligence to write papers that can still be included in SCI, right? If there is such a technology, there is no doubt that it may win the Nobel Prize!

"There may be some problems with this data, so let's look at another data, China's world ranking in the number of scientific and technological papers cited every decade! In the decade from 1994 to 2004, it ranked 18th in the world, and in 1996-2006, it rose to 13th! This is because we are still in the catch-up stage in the 90s, and if it comes to 2006-2016, I believe this ranking will climb to the top three or even the second place!"

"Of course, in terms of high-quality papers, China still lags behind the scientific and technological powers such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany, but because the total amount of investment is gradually increasing, the absolute value of high-quality output can still crush many developed countries. And the results of this part of the high-quality output are the possible direction of the Nobel Prize in the future. In other words, there are indeed many people who are corrupt and cheating on scientific research, but there are always a large number of scholars who really need money to be supported.

"Neon surpassed the Red Empire in 78 to become the world's second largest country in terms of GDP, and since 2000 there has been a blowout of the Nobel Prize, with Hideki Shirakawa, Ryoji Noyori, Masatoshi Koshiba, and Koichi Tanaka winning awards one after another in the first few years of this century! This is exactly the twenty years it takes for a scientist to grow! So I boldly predict that there will be many Nobel Prize winners in China in 10 to 20 years after GDP surpasses Neon to become the second largest in the world!" (To be continued.) )
