Chapter 260
It's time for the last three days of '97.
Huo Qixuan finished his first final exam.
Although he no longer needs to take the exam, the rules still have to be followed.
As long as he has not officially graduated from the bachelor's degree, the final exam cannot be missed~.
At the end of December, Yanjing officially entered winter, the leaves of the plane trees in the school had long since fallen, and the stubborn and thin branches stood in the cold wind, and now they must be fully armed when they go out.
Affected by Christmas, New Year's Day and the upcoming winter vacation, Huo Qixuan's learning and life rhythm are also proceeding in an orderly manner!
After the exam, Huo Qixuan specially went to the optical store and asked someone to customize a pair of exquisite reading glasses, all of which were of the highest quality.
He is ready to visit Academician Yu Wei, and by the way, he will take the digital configuration of his heart, set up the number sequence and structure, and start editing the algorithm.
With a beautiful glasses case, Huo Qixuan walked towards Academician Yu Mian's apartment building.
For a scientist of Yu Mian's level, he no longer needs any expensive gifts, only really useful things, such as glasses!
The eyes of the elderly are getting worse and worse, and they often read books, and protecting their eyes is more important than anything else, so sending a good pair of glasses is in line with the needs.
Arriving at the apartment building, Huo Qixuan took the elevator upstairs.
The apartment building is old and has little luxury decoration.
Everything is ordinary.
However, it gives people a deep sense of academic history.
Knock knock!
Huo Qixuan knocked lightly on the door.
Not long after, a gray-haired grandmother opened the door.
"Hello, I'm Huo Qixuan, I'm visiting Academician Yu Mian!" Huo Qixuan's tone was very polite and his attitude was also very respectful.
"Please come in!" Yan Lan smiled and invited Huo Qixuan to enter the door.
"Elder Yu is in the study, I'll take you to meet him." Yan Lan led the way.
Come to the study and make a strict gesture of invitation.
"Thank you!" Huo Qixuan thanked him and walked into the study lightly.
Yu Mian was writing something with a pen, when he heard the voice, he looked up, his old and wise eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly beckoned:
"Child, you are here, come and sit!"
Huo Qixuan hurriedly walked over and bowed:
"Hello Academician Yu! The brat took the liberty to come and disturb. "
"Don't disturb don't bother, come on, sit down!" Yu Mian smiled.
Huo Qixuan walked over and sat down, handed the glasses he brought to Yu Mian, and said:
"Academician Yu, this is a little bit of the kid's heart, please accept it Academician Yu!"
Yu Mian took the glasses case, smiled happily, opened and took out the glasses inside and put them on.
"Oh, it's clear and comfortable." Yu Mian was very satisfied.
"Academician Yu likes it." Huo Qixuan said with a smile.
"You have a heart!" Yu Mian looked at Huo Qixuan, did not mince words, and said directly: "You are the most potential person of the young generation I have ever met, you give me the bottom, what are you creating this algorithm for?" "
Huo Qixuan looked at Yu Mian and said seriously:
"Academician Yu, in the basic field of the cutting-edge of science and engineering technology, we are at least thirty years behind the West, it is too difficult to catch up, and the West is very guarded against us, and will not give us the opportunity to develop the basic field."
"Against this background, I chose to take a different approach, overtaking in the financial and economic sphere, occupying the basic level of this field, which can at least become a means of countering the West."
Yu Mian took a deep look at Huo Qixuan and suddenly laughed:
"You're smart enough to realize that our basic areas are weak. Child, you are right, we are in the high-end field, the gap with the West is actually not so big, our real disadvantage lies in the basic field. "
Yu Mian sighed, his face a little helpless:
"I've never believed that technology has no borders. Technology has national boundaries, and it is stricter than human boundaries. "
"For ordinary technology, they will coax the world with the ridiculous reason that technology has no borders, but when it comes to technology in core fields, such as military and aerospace, it will jam your neck for various reasons."
"Westerners say one thing and do another, we people have long seen through it, in the face of core interests, there is no negotiation, even if there is money, it is useless."
Huo Qixuan listened quietly to Yu Mian's words, and he knew that Yu Mian had not yet reached the point.
Sure enough, Yu Mian continued:
"Child, you know, we were once completely blocked by the West, but we all came over and created atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, and Dongfanghong satellites, from scratch!"
"However, the world can only see the side of our successful breakthrough, but it cannot see the deeper side, that is, the breakthrough of science and technology, which needs to be accumulated."
"How much time is this accumulation? It's hard to say, ten, twenty, even thirty years ... Or longer! "
"In this process, we have to endure countless days and nights of boredom and loneliness, and most of the time, we actually look like losers."
Speaking of this, Yu Mian's face showed worry:
"After the change, the economy will become more and more developed, and people's living standards will be higher and higher, but it will be accompanied by the impetuosity of the entire society, and more and more people will not be able to adhere to this boring and lonely road of scientific research."
"The Yingguo people created the steam engine, and then the Germans imitated it for more than a hundred years before catching up with the Yingguo, seizing the opportunity of the electric age, and surpassing the Yingguo."
"Later, the beautiful country and the cherry blossom country walked at the forefront of the world in the same way, child, do you feel in your heart that we can also imitate in the same way, and then innovate our own things, and then catch up with the beautiful country and the cherry blossom country?"
"Isn't it?" Huo Qixuan was puzzled.
"It's not! This kind of thinking is dangerous! Yu Mian immediately retorted:
"If it's just imitation, we can only catch up behind and won't overtake!" Because no one is doing basic science, we're going to become more and more pragmatic. "
"Basic scientific research is our most fatal weakness, and if we don't solve this thing, we will always be left behind in the process of 0 to 1."
"No matter how well the process of 1 to 100 is done and how great the achievement is, the process of starting from scratch is nothing more than comparable, because it is the accumulation process of science and technology, it is the explosion of science and technology, and this flashpoint is grasped by the West."
Huo Qixuan was silent!
Yu Mian slowly got up, and Huo Qixuan hurriedly went over to help him.
The two came to the balcony of the study. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
Yu Mian looked at the snowflakes outside the window, and his thoughts seemed to drift away:
"The vast sea of stars, the long river of history, the ships of civilization drift leisurely in time and space. All the inspiration and ideas that make human beings dazzle, suddenly realize, and make scientific and technological progress come from the brilliant sparks left by the ancient sages. "
"The wise words left by the three emperors and five emperors, the ingenuity of Mozi's machinery, the cautionary words of Laozi, the profound knowledge of Zhang Heng's astronomy and geography... The meaning of their existence is not in the world, but in the descendants of the queen to light the lamp. "
"The foundation of Euclidean geometry, the source of Pythagorean deduction, the Aristotelian doctrine of logic... They are all giants' treasures, accumulated into mountain-like civilization heritage. "
"Eighteen hundred years later, Newton can stand on the shoulders of giants and use the light of ancient Greek wisdom to open a new era of modern science. Human civilization ushered in a glorious era of the explosion of science and technology. "
"However, the flames were followed by a long cooling. When the accumulated fuel is lost, the pace of science falls silent again. The great wheel of civilization is gathering strength in calm, waiting for the opportunity of the next leap. "
As a result, the absurd and nonsensical conjectures of antiquity, and the strange ideas of the Middle Ages, have become valuable gifts. Even if it is trivial, even if it is unexpected, even if it is not practical, as long as the idea is circulated, one day it will become a forest and ignite the fire of the heart of future generations. "
"Science is useless, but it is of great use. History has accumulated into the most precious wealth, and civilization has stood tall because of it. The source of inspiration continues to endure, and the tree of science is always alive. "
"Such a law is all over human civilization, such a cycle, and the cycle goes on and on. The progress of civilization depends not on the present, but on the past. Each of us stands on the shoulders of countless giants in order to see farther and clearer. "
When Yu Wei talked about the laws of science, the whole person seemed to be sublimated.
Huo Qixuan stood behind and listened to it gradually fascinated.
The scientific idea that Yu Mian wants to express is simple:
Science, by accumulation!
And this process of accumulation may not be of any use to contemporary people.
Because it is providing nutrients and fuel for future generations.
The same applies to basic scientific research.
In this world, anyone who does things must do things with a purpose.
They want to achieve something, achieve something.
However, basic scientific research is a matter that has no purpose and no effect.
It's an accumulation process.
It will only be effective decades or even centuries later.
Similar to the scientific and technological explosion of the twentieth century, it did not appear suddenly, but was the result of thousands of years of accumulation,
Behind the explosion of science and technology is a huge historical accumulation. These accumulations include not only academic thought, but also the hard work and selfless dedication of our ancestors.
Only when we truly understand the meaning of history can we understand the importance of inheritance and development.
Each generation should clearly explore and summarize the wisdom of its predecessors, and give new life to the needs of the present.
Only then can new ideas thrive on ancient foundations.
The biggest problem with Huaxia is that no one wants to do this thing, only foreign countries are still doing it, which is the real gap between Huaxia and foreign countries.
"Our exam-oriented education system is actually difficult to cultivate that kind of imaginative and very individualized genius, eccentric."
"But there is no way, the population of Huaxia is too much, only to achieve the wisdom of the whole people, from the huge crowd, to fight a peerless genius without a million."
Yu Mian looked at Huo Qixuan and said with a slight smile:
"I don't know if there will be that kind of peerless genius in the future, but I have met a young peerless genius now."
"Child, your potential is endless, your talent is incomparable, the old man wants to ask you one thing, use your wisdom and influence, adhere to basic scientific research, at least in the system you created, insist on doing this thing."
