During the meal, Senior Mao Rui was crazy about Wu Bin's wave of programmers, programmers are wonderful, and programmers make money and croak.

But Wu Bin is still indifferent, not that he is really not interested in solving this procedural problem, on the contrary, he is very interested, but he has not succeeded in tackling graphene as a material so far, so he really has no intention of doing other projects that require a lot of time and attention.

Seeing that Wu Bin's will was so firm, Mao Rui finally gave up lobbying, but still left his contact information, saying that if Wu Bin is interested in this one day, he is welcome to come to him at any time.

"Hey, from what I just talked about, I see that you don't seem to be interested in making money?" After the procedural problems came to an end, Mao Rui found a topic again.

Wu Bin smiled after hearing this, "Who wouldn't be interested in money, but I think making money should come naturally." ”

"Tsk, young people are still naive." Mao Rui shook his head, "Do you think that as long as you make achievements in scientific research and have patents, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money?" ”

"I didn't think I could make a lot of money." Wu Bin corrected a word in Mao Rui's words.

"Anyway, you think of making money as a by-product of scientific research, right?"

Wu Bin didn't speak after listening, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"Oh, the times are changing, now undergraduates don't have a little economic and financial knowledge, it is about the same as illiteracy, people are social people, social people are economic people, no matter life or scientific research, they can't escape money."

After taking a sip of soup, Mao Rui continued: "What physicist doesn't want to spend hundreds of billions of dollars to build a particle collider to do research, no matter how bad it is, it would be a dream to build a small black hole, but the reality is that you can't make money by doing theories, and you don't need high-end devices to do applications, which is very embarrassing." ”

After listening to Mao Rui's remarks, Wu Bin shook his head, "I have a different opinion on this point. ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. Mao Rui looked at Wu Bin with interest.

"Whether it is national scientific research or enterprise scientific research, it is built on a stable national environment, economic foundation and the environment supported by a sound industrial system.

"Hmm." Mao Rui nodded, "And then?" ”

"Take the particle collider you just mentioned as an example, this kind of scientific research topic with an estimated cost of 100 billion yuan, in South Korea, Germany, Japan and our country, China will be vetoed by a high vote, why? Is it really impossible to build? No, gritting your teeth, smashing the pot and selling iron can always come out. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Bin sighed, "But it hurts too much, it will completely break the balance between scientific research and the economy, especially scientific research, from putting forward hypotheses to verifying hypotheses - and then revising hypotheses, during this period, not only need to spend money, but also be able to withstand failure." ”

"For a long time, it is normal for the money invested in scientific research to have no return, but if a great scientific research success cannot produce economic benefits in the eyes of scientists, it will only cost the people money in the eyes of the people."

"You mean...... Higgs boson? Mao Rui tapped his index finger.

"Yes, for those in the know, this achievement is not just worth the price, it is priceless, it is a guiding light for physics, but this does not prevent most people from still thinking of the Large Particle Collider as a money-burning scientist toy."

Speaking of this, Wu Bin suddenly looked at Mao Rui and asked, "Have you watched "The Three-Body Problem"?" ”

"Of course I did." Mao Rui nodded.

"In China, the Trisolarans used Zhizi to seal the basic scientific research of the earth, and in reality, Zhizi is GDP, if a country really blindly smashes scientific research, it can be said that there is no difference between it and reckless military force."

Mao Rui nodded: "It's because I just expressed a problem, and I didn't say that you can make money to the point where you can play something like the collider, I just want to say that if there is some scientific research you want to do, it will still be more comfortable to have money in your hands, at least you don't have to ask people around." ”

At this time, Li Yan, who had been an audience, suddenly smiled, pointed at Wu Bin and said: "Let me interject, there is a sentence that he will be too pretending to be B when he says it, or let me say it, in the eyes of this guy, the only thing that can make him worry is this kind of scientific research project that is beyond the scope of social tolerance, and as for the following, it is not a problem for him." ”

"Hahahaha, confident enough." Mao Rui laughed a few times, "Self-confidence is a good thing, it can always help you overcome the failure in front of you." ”

"Yes, I think so too."

After hearing this, Mao Rui stood up and stretched out his right hand to Wu Bin: "It's a pleasure to meet you, or that sentence, I very much hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you on this project, I am waiting for you to contact me at any time." ”

"If you have the chance, you must." Wu Bin stood up and stretched out his hand, and Mao Rui shook it.

"Then I'll go first, the herd of animals is still waiting for me to go to DOTA." After stuffing the laptop back into his bag, Mao Rui waved at the three people.

Say "goodbye" to each other, and Mao Rui left the cafeteria.

"What you just said is wonderful." Qin Simeng looked at Wu Bin and praised.

"Thank you." Wu Bin nodded at her.

"Actually, I'm also curious about the Higgs boson you mentioned, I know it's called the God particle, but what exactly does it do?"

Wu Bin thought for a while and replied, "Have you ever used navigation?" ”

"Yes." Qin Simeng nodded.

"For most people, navigation is like other high-tech, with the phrase 'modern technology is really developed' suddenly appeared in their lives, but in fact, the birth of navigation can be traced back to 1854, when Riemann proposed Riemann geometry before I wanted to start talking."

"...... 1854," Qin Simeng muttered to himself.

"Yes, after Einstein published the special theory of relativity in 1905, Robert Goddard began to study rockets in 1912, Einstein published the general theory of relativity in 1916, and used Riemannian geometry as a mathematical tool in theory, in 1957, the first artificial satellite Sputnik 1 was successfully launched, and in 1973, the United States decided to develop a global satellite positioning system ......"

"That...... Do you have that legendary ability to remember? She can understand these events, but it is an exaggeration to remember the specific year so clearly.

At this time, Li Yan on the side hurriedly replied: "He has a very strong memory, but he has not yet reached this point, and the reason why he memorized a piece of rolling melon is probably to argue against those economists who do not support large-scale scientific research at some kind of national conference in the future." ”

"You guessed it?" Wu Bin glanced at Li Yan.

"That's not it~ It's not like I've known you for so long." Li Yan smiled proudly.
