Chapter 673: Speech at the Opening Ceremony

……

"Before I took the stage today, my administrative secretary prepared a 20-page, 10,000-word speech. It is gorgeously worded, the sentences are smooth, and it is very outstanding to praise the nobility and morality of my establishment of 'Shennong Academy'. In addition, I would like to express my words of praise to all the well-known figures from the political, business and cultural circles who are here today. Finally, it also expressed the 'Shennong Academy' and that you, as students of Shennong Academy, will have a bright future. It can be said that this speech can satisfy everyone present. I'm sorry, though, I'm not satisfied. So, as you can see, I came up empty-handed just now. But even so, I would like to acknowledge the work of my administrative secretary, who has worked very hard. However, sometimes his boss's sycophants are difficult to shoot and it is difficult to serve. ”

As the words fell, a burst of laughter erupted from the group of students below. But Wang Zheng didn't stop there.

"So, today I'm also going to learn about Mr. Ma Yun and give an off-script speech!" At this point, Ma Yun, who was sitting below, smiled, and the live TV camera was also given to him.

“… So what is the topic of my talk today? In a nutshell: past, present, and future. … Of course, I'm not a professor of history, let alone an anthropologist, so the broad themes covered by these seven words should be condensed to a large extent, focusing on the most important aspects of scientific and technological development, and extending them to a certain extent. ”

The first industrial revolution began in Britain in the 60s of the 18th century, with the invention of the steam engine and the widespread use of coal, industrial power officially replaced manpower, and the textile industry and transportation industry have undergone earth-shaking changes, which have had a profound impact on human technology, society and civilization. ”

"The Second Industrial Revolution refers to the completion of bourgeois revolutions or reforms in European countries, the United States, and Japan in the mid-19th century, which promoted economic development. In the late 60s of the 19th century, the second industrial revolution began. Humanity has entered the 'Electric Age'. The second industrial revolution made the development of capitalist countries unbalanced in the economic, cultural, political, and military aspects, and the struggle of imperialism for market economy and world hegemony became more intense. The Second Industrial Revolution promoted the formation of the world colonial system, which led to the final establishment of the capitalist world system, and the world gradually became a whole. ”

"The third scientific and technological revolution is another major leap in the field of science and technology in the history of human civilization after the revolution in steam technology and electric power technology, which began in the forties and fifties of the last century. It is mainly marked by the invention and application of atomic energy, electronic computers, space technology, and biological engineering, and involves a revolution in information control technology in many fields, such as information technology, new energy technology, new material technology, biotechnology, space technology, and marine technology. ”

"From the three scientific and technological revolutions, we can draw several simple conclusions, first, the beginning of the scientific and technological revolution begins with the transformation of the energy structure. For example, the first scientific and technological revolution was steam power, the second was electricity, and the third was nuclear energy. Second, the scope of the scientific and technological revolution is becoming more and more extensive, for example: the first scientific and technological revolution gave birth to industrial equipment dominated by steam engines, but it is also more limited to steam engines; the second industrial revolution gave birth to electric energy, and in addition to generators and electric motors, there are also internal combustion engines, optical equipment, primitive mechanical computers, various household appliances based on electricity, and so on; as for the third industrial revolution, if we compare the life we enjoy now, we can conclude that its influence and scope are much broader than those of the second scientific and technological revolution。 In the end, the cycle for the beginning of each industrial revolution is basically maintained at about 100 years. The first industrial revolution was in the sixties of the eighteenth century, the second industrial revolution was in the sixties of the nineteenth century, and the third industrial revolution was in the forties and fifties of the twentieth century. ”

"Can we boldly predict that the Fourth Industrial Revolution will take place in the forties and fifties? If it does happen, what disciplines and technologies will it involve that we have not touched or that we have only tasted yet? And what kind of major impact will these technologies have on the international community today? If there is a fourth scientific and technological revolution, when will the fifth scientific and technological revolution begin? and in what way?"

Wang Zheng's series of questions attracted the attention of everyone present in an instant, and at the same time made everyone involuntarily imagine the future.

"What does the future look like? I don't know, and I don't think anybody knows. But we can take history as a mirror and make bold speculations. If the Fourth Industrial Revolution had started in the forties and fifties, how would it have begun?" After a pause, "According to my own humble opinion, 'nuclear fusion' and 'solar energy' are the two most likely ways. They will replace the current nuclear fission and internal combustion engines and become a new energy source for the development of human society. On this basis, we will make leaps and bounds in the development of new materials, life science and technology, communication technology, and space technology, and make certain progress in energy technology, gravity and antigravity, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, quantum science and other disciplines, and make certain achievements in the research of interstellar travel, antimatter, optical quantum, biological masterbrain, superstring theory, and chaos theory. ”

"Of course, since it's a prediction of the future, there must be inaccuracies, but I believe that most of what I just said will appear. Now let's talk about the Fifth Technological Revolution!"

After a pause, Wang Zheng's eyes quickly swept over the audience, "If we human beings can usher in the fifth scientific and technological revolution, it must be in the 22nd or even 23rd century! According to historical inference, the first scientific and technological revolution is coal and steam engines, the second scientific and technological revolution is the internal combustion engine and electric energy, the third scientific and technological revolution is nuclear fission, and the fourth scientific and technological revolution is nuclear fusion or solar energy, so what is the starting point for the outbreak of the fifth scientific and technological revolution?"

"Antimatter, general relativity, string theory, or other new options, we don't know yet. But there is no doubt that antimatter, gravitational waves mentioned in the general theory of relativity, string theory, or the grand unified theory go further! If the fifth scientific and technological revolution comes, let us imagine what our human life is like? First, convenient interstellar travel may allow you to stay on Earth today and Mars for a few days the day after tomorrow. If you have a month-long vacation, you can choose to relax in a tourist resort in the Magellanic system or the dwarf galaxy in the constellation Canis major. ”

"Second, books may no longer be a channel for acquiring knowledge. It's more of a way to relax. Because the biochip that connects the nerves and the brain can download any knowledge you want and appear whenever you want. The speed is as simple and fast as downloading a movie with 10,000 megabits. ”

"Third, the earth's ball book is as sought-after as today's Beijing hukou. Because people living on hundreds of other immigrant planets want a decent job and a life. ”

"Fourth, there is no problem. Pay a sum of money and freeze for a hundred, two hundred, or even more years, and you can come back to life. ”

"Fifth, words such as 100 years old, 70 years old, and so on will no longer exist, because the lifespan of a normal person has long exceeded 200 years, or even longer. ”

"Sixth, the dimensional space that once only appeared in science fiction will truly become a reality. When you go out in the future, you don't need to bring any luggage, a dimensional space ring or bracelet can take away all the luggage and items you want to bring, and even move the house away without any problem. ”

"Seventh, short-distance space teleportation is possible. ”

"Eighth, it's also a good treat to go to the zoo on the weekend to see the 'dinosaurs'. ”

Wang Zheng said fourteen or five articles in a row before stopping.

After listening to this, some people, no, there must be a lot of people who will ask: What's the use of saying these nonsensical words? Aren't you called a business wizard? Why don't you teach us how to start a business? How to succeed is more attractive. After a pause, Wang Zheng raised his right index finger and said with a serious expression, "But what I want to tell you is that the above are my ideals and beliefs." I hope to be able to see with my own eyes and do my part to promote the arrival of the fourth and fifth industrial revolutions, so that humanity can truly go beyond the earth. … Of course, I definitely can't do it on my own, so I founded Shennong Academy, eager to cultivate more like-minded talents to work together and eventually achieve it. ”

"Also, I would like to warn everyone that you should never start a business because you want to be rich. Wealth is nothing but a by-product of realizing one's own ideals and values! The ancients said: "There is a golden house in the book, there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a thousand bells in the book." Therefore, every student of Shennong Academy should remember that from the moment you step into the school, you should understand what your ideals and beliefs are. ”

"In an ordinary life, no one will criticize you, but if you want to be great, I, and every teacher in the school, will do my best to help you... Thank you, I'm done!"

"Whoa......!"

The thunderous applause lasted for a long time.

After smiling and smiling, Wang Zheng turned around and walked down the steps next to him.

At this time, when he returned to his seat, he clearly noticed the complex eyes of the guests who were sitting in the front row and invited or volunteered to attend the opening ceremony of Shennong Academy.

"Brother, I didn't expect to come to listen to such a deafening speech from you this time, it's really worth the trip!" After Wang Zheng sat down, Ma Yun on the left hand side leaned over and lowered his voice.

"Brother won the award, I learned a lot from you when it came to speeches!"

Hearing this, Ma Yun smiled. Because of the atmosphere of the scene, he didn't say much. And Mesati, who was sitting on Wang Zheng's right hand, didn't speak much on this occasion because of the secret relationship between him and Wang Zheng.

After Wang Zheng's speech, it was the turn of the outstanding teachers to give speeches. However, after his major event passed, the subsequent opening ceremony was tepid. The opening ceremony, which was originally planned to be an hour and a half, ended twenty minutes early.

“… Thank you very much for coming to you today, and the opening ceremony of the first batch of new students of Shennong Academy has come to an end. In addition, in order to thank all the guests for coming, we have prepared a thank you luncheon on the second floor of the school cafeteria, please move under the guidance of the staff!"

"President Mesati, Minister Zhang, Mr. Ma Yun, everyone, let's go together?"

After Wang Lei's words, Wang Zheng, as the landlord, took the initiative to stand up and greet him.

"Well, Mr. Wang's Barilla is now the largest restaurant chain in ASEAN, with first-class taste and outstanding reputation, and it is widely praised by the ASEAN people. I don't think it's going to be bad for today's luncheon!" Mesati said, standing up.

As the person with the highest status on the surface of the face who is here today, as soon as he opened his mouth to agree, then Gu Zhu, vice minister of foreign affairs, and Wen Huijun, minister of education, who came with him, naturally had no reason to disagree.

"Mr. President, you may not know. Although Baiweiju is good, the real food is in Mr. Wang Zheng's Taoyuan Villa, which is the place where you can eat once and have a real aftertaste. Ma Yun said with a smile.

"Oh?" Mesati's eyes lit up, "so I'm really going to want to taste it." ”

"Taoyuan Villa, welcome Mr. President at any time!" Wang Zheng smiled.

Messati nodded, turned around and instructed the secretary to revise the itinerary.

The people around who watched the whole process in their eyes obviously looked at Wang Zheng with a little more different in their eyes.

"Everyone, please follow me!"

When the words fell, Wang Zheng was in front and led everyone towards the school cafeteria.

Because it has been arranged in advance, the second floor of the canteen of Shennong Academy, which was originally ordinary, is still not as good as the banquet hall of a five-star hotel, but it can also be seen.

However, compared to the ordinary dining environment, the real attraction is the delicious ingredients that have been carefully prepared by the chef using the ingredients of Tao Yuanji.

Moreover, in order to leave as much space for everyone to communicate as possible, of course, it is also to facilitate Wang Zheng to expand his social circle. The dinner took the form of a Western-style buffet.

In order to act on the scene and pretend to be an outsider, Wang Zheng had a 'cordial' exchange with Mesati for more than ten minutes. Only then did he leave the political circles that surrounded him.
