Chapter 145: The Pain of Scientific Research
Chapter 145
In order to avoid embarrassment, Qin Guang didn't ask Zhang Yunuo to go to the scientific research center together, and after thinking about it for a while, he took Huo Chen and went by himself.
Before Qin Guang arrived, the scientific research center had already received the news that as the management of the scientific research center, Zhao Tiansheng, the vice president of Guangyun Technology, was at the gate of the scientific research center.
There was no welcome team, no banners, and only this Vice President Zhao stood there alone and looked forward to it.
If this meeting is replaced by welcoming others, the person who is welcomed will inevitably be angry, I damn it, I don't want to lose face, so chilling?
But Qin Guang didn't think so, on the contrary, he was very happy, on the one hand, he hated that kind of hypocritical welcome, on the other hand, the scientific research center is a place to engage in scientific research, and the people inside are either researchers or technical experts, every minute and every second of these people's work is Qin Guang's wealth, stop for a minute, Qin Guang is even a part of the wealth, he will not waste wealth because of that bit of vanity.
Vice President Zhao waited until Qin Guang came, first took Qin Guang to visit the scientific research center that has been completed and put into use, this alone is almost half a day, the scientific research center is very large, the position of scientific research in Qin Guang's design is quite important, so there is no ambiguity at all, the construction site was selected in the suburbs of Tongzhou, its size, I am afraid that there is not the size of a small town, this whole place, belongs to the Guangyun scientific research base.
There is still a large area that has not been put into use, which is all Qin Guang's preparation for the future.
After visiting the scientific research center, Vice President Zhao instructed someone to call the heads of each laboratory to the conference room to prepare for the meeting.
This is also what Qin Guang requested.
Guangyun scientific research base is divided into many laboratories according to disciplines, such as electronic laboratories engaged in electronic products, biomedical laboratories, materials science laboratories, and even weapons and equipment laboratories, unpopular front-end physics, and aerospace science and technology laboratories, etc., and so on.
After these people came to the conference room, from the order of seats, you can see the ranking of these laboratories in the base, the most profitable electronic laboratory, that is, after Vice President Zhao, the least profitable, for example, the person in charge of the cutting-edge physics laboratory, that is the last position, the most inconspicuous position, next to him, there are other unprofitable majors, several are difficult brothers.
Qin Guang was intelligent, so he could naturally see the situation in front of him at a glance, and he was noncommittal in his heart.
It is normal for such a situation to occur, and this is not just a problem faced by such a scientific research base, it is the same problem faced by the whole society.
Disciplines that make money get more resources, more respect and higher status, but unpopular disciplines that don't make money are the life of sitting on the cold bench.
There is no right or wrong in this, after all, scientific research is also a social activity, some people are participating, then it needs to spend money, since the money is spent, then it cannot be spent in vain, there are inputs and outputs, in order to attract more people to pour resources into it.
But what about a discipline like cutting-edge physics, where is the output even if the research is put in?
It's not that cutting-edge physics is not as important as electronic products, and without the foundation of basic physics, how can you have electronic products if you study electronics and the application of electronics?
But on the surface, cutting-edge physics is thankless.
Let's take an analogy, we all know that science is the first driving force of development, so I invested 100 million dollars in Newton to do scientific research, and then I waited to reap the profits and become a rich man.
Ten years later, Newton told me that he had done something.
I thought that my ten years of waiting was finally over, and I was going to turn over!
As a result, Newton tells you that his scientific research is gravity?
Just tell me, who doesn't feel like a mother wants to talk about this matter?
This is the status quo of the whole society, and it is better to say at the national level that if the country wants to develop, the foundation of various basic disciplines must be laid well.
However, Rao is still the case that theoretical research is less popular than practical technology research, and those who make money are more popular than those who do not.
Take US imperialism as an example, US imperialism ranks first in the world in terms of scientific research capabilities and the degree of attention it attaches to science and technology, but according to the financial report made public by the US imperialist government last year, the proportion of funds for practical technology in scientific research is three-quarters higher than that for theoretical research.
It's still like this at the national level, if it's thrown to the people, then let's not talk about it, there's no interest in being a bird.
Existence must be reasonable, this is a social reality, no one can do anything, you can't expect everyone in the world to look like a saint and throw money into it, right?
Cutting-edge physics is good for those who engage in theory, at least as long as they have the ability in this field, then the country will keep it, but the aerospace team is completely not loved by the father.
Don't look at the fact that all countries attach great importance to aerospace, but aerospace is even inferior to those who engage in theory.
Why?
If you are engaged in theory, at least spend a bit of B money, and even if you can't use the results in the end, it is a good thing to use them as scientific reserves, or to take them out to win awards and glory.
Astronautics? That's a complete bottomless pit.
On the side of the US imperialists, the cost of launching a space shuttle is $500 million, not counting the various maintenance and repair costs of the space shuttle and the training costs of astronauts, but is it possible to launch it only once?
In the end, the US imperialists really couldn't hold on anymore and directly stopped the space shuttle project.
All countries understand the importance of aerospace, the world's resources are limited, this one eats more, that one eats less, and one day these resources will be eaten up, everyone is looking for new economic growth points, so that the faltering human civilization can take a breath, and don't finally use war as an outlet.
It's like a reservoir, it's big, but it's always capped, and if you don't find an outlet, the water will fill up and you'll be ruined.
In the past, the real economy was this big reservoir, when the real economy developed to the peak, everyone felt that the cake was so big that it was inseparable, ready to roll up their sleeves and grab it with others, the Internet was born, sharing a large part of the pressure.
But no matter how human beings make moths and innovate on the Internet, in the end, the reservoir of the Internet will be filled, and in the future, even if human beings find new large reservoirs to share again and again, they will eventually face a problem, and the total amount of resources will remain unchanged.
Visionary people set their sights on the sky early and realized that the boundless sea of stars is the real way out of the future, where there are almost unlimited resources and infinite possibilities, and only going out is the best way to save mankind from self-destruction.
If aerospace is so important, why hasn't it been taken seriously by more people?
On the one hand, the current situation in the world has not reached the point where you can't go out, on the other hand, you spend billions, and the final result is a large monkey, can you stand it?
