Chapter 364: The Scientific Research Foundation was established

At the same time, the physicists of the Institute of High Energy Research were also overjoyed, because the scale of this project is absolutely very huge because of the investment of 200 billion yuan to build the particle collider.

Even some high-energy physicists have to run both at home and in Europe all day long, and even have to look at the faces of white people in order to verify a project.

Moreover, the domestic particle collider project has not been approved for a long time, and even if they approve the project, I don't know how much time it will take from site selection to the finalization of the plan and the start of construction.

But what they didn't expect was that a technology company invested such a large amount of money, and invited them to go to Jiangcheng to finalize the planning and research plan of the project, and serve as consultants.

This is simply something that I can't dream of, at this time, even the bad old man who has been immersed in the research institute all the year round, obsessed with researching science, and does not care about the world, has been invited out of the mountain, planning to go to Jiangcheng with the scientific research team.

And some people who criticize the particle collider as a large toy have also closed their mouths, after all, this is Datang Technology spending its own money, not spending the treasury's money.

First, there is no transfer of assets, second, there is no tax evasion, third, there is no violation of laws and disciplines, and it is still to make a contribution to the promotion of science, even if it is a water army, there is nothing to hack.

The phrase "we don't have fewer brains than them" began to become popular on the Internet with the gradual fermentation of popularity.

Subsequently, various official media big Vs on Weibo came down one after another, saying that this is what a responsible entrepreneur should do, and called on all entrepreneurs to learn from Ye Fan.

Soon, the live broadcast of a central media on Weibo began to become popular on the whole network, and attracted nearly 80 million people to watch online at the same time, causing the server to crash for a while.

Even platforms such as Yudou Live and National Treasure Live had to be ordered to broadcast the live broadcast, attracting more and more users to watch it.

[Shocking! After donating 180 billion yuan, Datang Technology plans to invest 200 billion yuan in a budget to build the world's largest particle collider.

After the title, there is a link to the live video, and it can be seen that a reporter from a central media interviewed Ye Fan.

At this time, Ye Fan was also wearing a black suit, sitting calmly in the president's office, and facing some questions from reporters, he was also fluent.

"I think that some of our achievements now, whether in scientific research or in other industries, are like high-rise buildings built on the beach, if the foundation is not stable,

Then it will be very dangerous in the future. It's also very risky, which is why I invest in a part of basic science. ”

Sitting opposite Ye Fan was a female reporter, who looked very dignified, and she said, "So Mr. Ye, what do you think of our domestic basic science?" ”

"With the continuous upgrading of our industry, we need to rethink our emphasis on this aspect of basic science, and it can be said that in the past, the state also attached great importance to this aspect.

However, we have seen the lack of non-governmental involvement, especially in the field of private enterprises, so many projects are in the laboratory, not grounded, and not connected to various application scenarios. ”

"So I hope that more companies can devote themselves to this kind of basic research, including many public welfare projects of such enterprises in the past

But more in poverty alleviation, children, pension and other projects, in the research of basic science, many large public welfare funds, in fact, also have support, but the support is not too large. ”

"So we also hope that with the help of this large-scale project to build the particle collider, we will unite many scientists and experts.

At the same time, we also hope that more people or companies will participate in the future, and can focus on basic research, and we plan to establish a foundation for basic science.

Recognition and financial incentives for relevant scientific research. Ye Fan looked at the female reporter in front of him and said lightly.

At this time, not only the female reporter, but also the people who were watching the live broadcast on the whole network were stunned.

How rich is this Datang Technology, this is 180 billion at once, and 200 billion at once to build a collider, and now what kind of foundation is going to invest money to set up?

No matter how rich Datang Technology is, it's not so consuming, right?

In just a few days, it has been announced that it will spend 380 billion yuan, and even private enterprises with deep pockets dare not play like this.

No matter how high Datang Technology's profits are, even if the confidence is sufficient, there is no need to be so exaggerated, right?

The female reporter quickly calmed down: "Are you saying that you plan to open a separate foundation to financially reward and fund scientists who have made outstanding contributions?" ”

"In fact, this award is not only for the development of our Datang Technology, but also for the better development of the industry.

It is given to some scientists and projects who have achieved fame and have already produced results, which is in many ways some rewards for research results. ”

"However, the awards set up by Datang Technology are more talent awards, in order to see many young scientists in the exploration period, and even for some who have not yet had clear research knowledge.

However, we also hope to encourage and support this research program in a promising field, and hope that more young scientists will devote themselves to this kind of research.

The research and development of such basic cutting-edge technologies, which may not see commercial returns in the short term, is also my initial assumption. Ye Fan also said seriously.

"So Mr. Ye, how much budget do you plan to invest in the foundation this time? How many young scientists are expected to be supported? Will you choose graduates of key science and technology colleges in China for a certain amount of cultivation? ”

"Yes, I plan to invest one billion yuan this time, as the first phase of the project, the investment in the follow-up project will increase by about 10%-20% per year,

Through a very complete mechanism, we hope to select 50 young scientists every year, each of whom will be supported by about 1 million to 5 million yuan per year, and can also apply for special research grants. ”

At this time, the female reporter also asked curiously: "So Mr. Ye, what made you make such a large donation to the technology industry?" ”

Ye Fan's gaze also became deeper at this time: "Because a great man said before that if we fall behind, we will be beaten, and we don't want anything to develop science and technology, just to have the ability to fight back when others beat us." ”
