Junxin didn't feel anything to be indignant about Principal William's use of himself, in fact, this is also an idea of most scientists after being used. Many scientific and technological achievements are made to be used by people after invention and research. The greatest value of science lies not in the discovery and research, but in the application based on such research findings. Therefore, when scientists know that they are being used, most of them will adopt an indifferent attitude, as long as their research can continue and their inventions are applied.

Of course, another value of science is to understand nature in order to explore the ins and outs of human beings and nature. Of course, this is also an important question. Compare these two values of science, the latter is the ultimate goal of science, and the ultimate goal of our exploration and development of new technologies. The former is a phased and repetitive process of the latter.

In the process of exploring the ins and outs of nature and human beings themselves, because of the progress and development of the times, human beings continue to make some new discoveries, and on the basis of these discoveries, they show another important value of science, that is, the application value.

For scientists, exploring the ins and outs of nature and human beings is their ultimate task. During the period of exploration, the conceptual word science gradually dispersed into all sorts of concrete things. Nowadays, the various disciplines that have become more and more refined are small branches that extend from the road of human exploration of science. Over time, more and more branches may be generated. Perhaps in the distant and unattainable future, all sub-disciplines, such as the unification of all laws in Chinese philosophy, may continue to be subdivided forever like the infinity in the concept of topology.

Therefore, for a scientist, the ultimate task is almost impossible to complete, correspondingly, scientists in each era consciously or unconsciously began to undertake their own tasks on the road of exploring the unknown.

Throughout history, whether it is Einstein, Newton or Darwin, Mendel, Watson, Crick; As well as Dalton, Davis, Euler, Gauss, Turing, von Neumann and others, they all consciously or unconsciously took on the tasks of their own times on the path they chose in their own times.

However, with the progress of the times, more and more sophisticated equipment, talents, etc. have become the most indispensable things in scientific research, especially high-end scientific research. It is commonly known as a resource. This has also led to the fact that in more and more developed societies, the importance of resources occupies an increasing position. At this time, it is the people who are in charge of the allocation of resources who are followed by scientists. In a normal sense, the term between the two is called cooperation, but Junxin has always called it utilization.

Yes, it's exploitation. Because this so-called cooperation itself has a strong compulsive character. So it's not cooperation in the sense of equality, it's ultimately a kind of exploitation. Resource allocators, by allocating resources to qualify for the use of scientists, and through the ingenuity of these scientists to create more valuable things, more resources, and finally a cycle is formed.

But Junxin doesn't hate this kind of exploitation, and even most scientists don't hate it. Because in their own eras, when they complete their tasks, they will need a lot of resources at their disposal. Especially in modern society, the demand for resources is increasing. Although they knew they were being used when they got them, they never hesitated. Without him, the pursuit of difference.

So in the end, Junxin didn't care too much about Principal William's use of the laboratory and his own abilities and prestige to launch some of his own reform measures. The reason why Professor Thurston's words surprised him was only because of the pure pursuit of science, so that he never thought that there were some twists and turns in this, and the first time he heard it, it was indeed a bit sensational, and it scared himself. Now that I look back and think about it, I don't think it's a big deal.

However, this incident also gave Jun a wake-up call that in the final analysis, the theoretical research breakthrough in modern scientific research is unlikely to develop by leaps and bounds, so the rest can only be that the research in application will continue to rise. In the final analysis, the application side is actually a competition for resource allocation. Of course, there may be seniors with high morals who would rather have fewer resources, but this is a minority after all. Most people don't care who you are, in their eyes, resources are the most important thing. Because without resources, it is equivalent to having no means to continue research, which is intolerable for any scientist.

The former is like Professor Ye Qisun, Professor Shu Xingbei, Mr. Gu Yuxiu and so on. In Junxin's view, after he made the achievement of quasi-crystal, some researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences who came to the door wanted to get something for nothing.

Therefore, although Professor Thurston's words explained to Junxin what the president planned and his status and role in the president's plan, in fact, some information accidentally revealed made Junxin more clear about the nature of scientists, the current status and essence of research in the scientific community.

Junxin couldn't imagine that without the support of Professor Cheng, Professor Liang and other five members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences from Mizuki University, he would have been able to keep the results of quasi-crystals in the hands of a group of wolf-like researchers after returning to China.

Although Junxin doesn't care much about this research achievement, after all, no matter how it changes, the person who finally discovers the substance of quasi-crystal will still be him alone, if the Nobel Prize Committee of this time and space insists on their rhetoric in the original time and space, then because of the discovery of quasi-crystal, he can still get a Nobel Prize medal. But not caring about the research results does not mean that he does not attach importance to it, on the contrary, Junxin attaches great importance to the research of quasicrystals.

Otherwise, because quasicrystals are an effect, a foundation sufficient to support a laboratory at one of the world's top universities. With this discovery, Junxin can build a top laboratory, so naturally, resources will be slowly tilted to his laboratory, so that more research results will appear, and then more people will be trained.

You know, Junxin's greatest wish is to become a person like Rutherford, not only to achieve great results in research, but also to achieve great results in training students.
