On April 14, 2051, the 156th National Affairs Conference was held in Beijing, and more than 3,000 people from all over the country came to attend the meeting.

The first article of the charter of the conference is to cut scientific research funds, this time, it is an overall reduction, the original annual state investment in scientific research funds as high as 3 trillion yuan, but this time directly cut 1 trillion, only 2 trillion left. Among them, the research fund on biological genetics has been reduced from one trillion yuan to 30 billion yuan, which is about one-thirtieth of the original.

Although Professor Ma Yuan and others also raised objections, believing that it was now in the stage of monster research, and too little funding was not conducive to research, but in the voting at the meeting, the proposal was still approved by an absolute majority.

Article 2 of the charter, the state formally established the Mecha Research and Engineering Institute, with an allocation of 80 billion yuan, mainly responsible for the research and development of mecha, under the jurisdiction of the research institute Mecha Machinery Research Institute, Mecha Neurology Research Institute, Mecha Electronic Communication Research Institute, Mecha Power Research Institute and so on. Qin Ran led the work of the Mecha Research Institute.

80 billion, this number may not be worth mentioning compared to the heyday of biological genetics, but compared to other scientific research units, it is already a huge number.

After all, the Mecha Research Engineering Institute has just been established, and it is the only one, and it has not been rolled out across the country, and this fund is enough.

Article 3 of the charter is to establish a special mecha construction factory, invest 60 billion, and build four [Horizon Warriors] at the same time to realize the mass production of giant mechas.

As for the person in charge of the new mecha construction project, Wang Xuezheng is still in charge, after all, he has experience in this area and is familiar with the road.

And the chief technical leader of the new mecha project is Professor Wu Ke, not Qin Ran.

After all, Qin Ran is now an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and he has to lead the work of the Mecha Research Engineering Institute, so he can't run at both ends, and Professor Wu Ke also participated in the construction of the first [Horizon Warrior], which is enough to serve as the chief technical leader of the new mecha construction project.

There were a total of ten articles listed in the charter of the meeting, most of which were about mecha and monsters, until the third day, when it was time for him to speak, Qin Ran couldn't help but be the first to stand up.

"I suggest starting from primary school to cultivate students' hobby for mecha, and at the same time set up a special mecha university, and also open mecha-related majors in other key universities to cultivate more talents for mecha design, mecha manufacturing, and mecha driving."

The mecha industry has just started, and there are not enough talents of all kinds, not to mention that the number of mecha pilots is rare, even if it is a scientist engaged in mecha research, it is far from enough, although Qin Ran can transfer talents from other academies to integrate into the mecha research academy, but those people are half-way after all, and many ideas are solidified, so it is okay for them to study step by step, and it is difficult to achieve innovation in mecha research.

Only by injecting new vitality into mecha research can mecha have a bright future.

It's a pity that Qin Ran's suggestion failed to pass.

The reason is that Qin Ran's suggestion was too early, this is the third monster invasion, maybe there will be no monster invasion in the future, or maybe humans will find the monster's lair and eliminate it at the source. If that's the case, Mecha University doesn't make much sense.

To put it simply, the future of the mecha industry is unclear, there are too many external factors, and there are no conditions for sustainable development, so there is no need to waste a lot of educational resources.

In this regard, Qin Ran was a little discouraged, he really didn't know how to persuade others, did he want to tell them that the monster attack would not stop, and it would last for ten or even a generation.

Although this meeting did show the importance of mecha, but in Qin Ran's view, this attention is only superficial, if it is really important, then we should pay attention to the cultivation of mecha talents, only with enough talents, the mecha industry can bloom.

However, Qin Ran couldn't convince everyone present.

Since there was no way to make the country pay attention to the cultivation of mecha talents, Qin Ran could only retreat and make suggestions again.

"I propose to build a mecha industrial production chain, including the manufacturing and processing of various mecha parts, mecha maintenance, mecha transportation, etc., so that the mecha industry is not subject to the existing industry, and can develop more efficiently and rapidly."

However, Qin Ran's proposal was also rejected.

The reason is similar to the previous one for rejection, the monsters are not sure if they will continue to attack, and even if there are still monsters, [Horizon Warriors] will be able to deal with it. Wouldn't it be a waste if you build a mecha industrial chain, and when it's done, the monsters won't come?

Most people believe that whether or not a mecha industrial chain can be formed can be decided by the market economy, rather than guided by the state.

There is nothing wrong with this idea in itself, but the mistake is that it is based on the fact that the strength of the monsters in the future is equal. No one would have imagined that the invading monsters would become more and more powerful as time went on.

This is the habitual thinking of people at work, the monsters that appear now are strong enough, even if the monsters are powerful in the future, how strong can they be?

A monster is a kind of creature, and all living things have limits, and in the eyes of people, the current monsters have reached the limits of living things.

In other words, the combat power of a monster is at most related to its height, shortness, fat and thinness, and it is impossible to break through the definition of a creature and achieve the sublimation of life.

Just like a person, he can improve his combat effectiveness through training, but it is impossible to cultivate the immortal method and become an immortal on the ground.

Therefore, Qin Ran did not forcibly argue about his proposal being rejected, the general environment is like this, and it is not something that can be leveraged by one person.

Only when the monsters in the back land one after another can they change people's minds and abandon the ridiculous luck in their hearts.

Two proposals in a row were rejected, and it was impossible not to be lost, which also made Qin Ran sober.

Perhaps it was because of the sense of accomplishment brought by the mecha killing the monster that Qin Ran mistakenly thought that the country would really attach importance to the mecha, but now he understands. In the eyes of everyone, mecha has never been a long-term academic science, but only a tool used to destroy monsters.

When the monster exists, the mecha will exist, and when the monster disappears, the mecha will also be abandoned by people.

The cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackey Heng. This is a more ancient truth.

But even so, Qin Ran was unconvinced in his heart, he didn't want such a result, and the temporary defeat could only inspire him to have a stronger fighting spirit.

Therefore, on the way back to the research institute after the meeting, Qin Ran silently swore in his heart that he would make the mecha a real academic, not just a tool only used to destroy monsters.

Even if Qin Ran knew that the path he had chosen was long, far away, and full of mud, bumps, and thorns, he would not give up.

Because only in this way can the mecha continue, instead of the death of the monster with the passage of time, thrown into the dust of history.
