Reborn America, this is my time

Chapter 56 Lick!
Although Ethan Jones couldn't understand how such a nonsense law in California came about, on the way home, his sister Evelyn Johnson provided him with a way to solve the problem.

The United States may not be built entirely on the basis of technology, but it must be a strong country based on technology.

During WW2, Vannevar Bush’s Scientific Research Bureau showed its power during the war, which made the United States reap a lot. Therefore, in 44, Mi Shizu, who saw the charm of scientific and technological progress, offered to Vannevar Bush when WW2 was about to end. The bushes posed four questions.

The first question is how to make wartime technology enter the public life as soon as possible on the premise of ensuring military security.

Regarding the question raised by Mi Shizu, Dr. Van Neva consulted with other scientists and wrote a report "Science: Endless Frontiers". Decide in which field your invention will be applied.

Evelyn, who was leaning on the co-pilot, rested her chin on one hand and said with a smile: "In the eyes of Dr. Van Neva, the personal freedom of technical R&D personnel cannot be restricted. Doing scientific research in a university, if he wants to enter a government department, the government department must provide him with a convenient environment. At the same time, the R&D personnel of a technology are the people who know the technology best, and they have the right to decide whether their invention should be used or not. kept secret."

"Although these things are difficult to achieve in reality, it is actually quite understandable for California to set up laws based on this kind of free thinking. After all, if California wants to develop, it needs more scientific and technological achievements."

"Only relying on agriculture and general manufacturing, the economy here will only rise steadily, and there will be no qualitative leap."

At this point, Evelyn stopped.

Self-deprecation was also written on his face, "Of course, so far, we don't know what technology will bring."

"Because the only ones that are famous now are HP, Intel, and Fairchild, right?"

"These companies have indeed brought some changes to California, but the qualitative leap...

"To be honest, we didn't see it ourselves."

Ethan raised his eyebrows at his sister's words.

Because he knew that what made California a qualitative leap was actually the real popularization of computers.

When computers entered thousands of households, the technologies of Silicon Valley really came into play.

As for the key to open this door...

While ensuring safe driving, Ethan also turned his head and glanced at the other party.

The exquisite profile on the co-pilot made him laugh, "A qualitative leap is coming soon."

"Because the key to open that door is 6502."

"Maybe people won't know your name, but people in the circle will definitely remember your promotion."

"Because you woke me up by scolding me and asked me to help Chuck Paido and the others solve their legal problems."

"Scientists who profit from it will thank you."

"Oh—Ethan—" Evelyn laughed idiotically, "Your words are too nasty."

She was looking at the scenery, she turned her head to look at her younger brother, and said, "Why do you describe yourself as the villain?"

"No way, in order to support your greatness." Ethan said a witty remark, "Behind every successful Superman, there is a bastard who is trying to destroy the world. If this bastard is still Superman's family, then this Superman All the greater because he places righteousness above family loyalty."

"Hahaha--"

Ethan's words made Evelyn laugh heartily.

His right hand kept tapping on the car door.

After a while, she finally recovered.

And in order to prevent his sister from fainting happily, Ethan also decisively changed the subject.

"Well, no kidding, Evelyn, I want to know, why does California think this way? Why do they think they will lead the technological change?" Ethan asked: "Don't other states have this idea? "

Yes, this is actually the strange point of Ethan.

If the rise of Stanford and the birth of Silicon Valley are due to Stanford embracing Fred Terman, what about California?As a region with independent legislative power, why do they firmly believe that they will be the next core of the world?
If the outdated laws and regulations are revised based on the results of development, then Ethan can still understand.

But now...

There are already laws to promote communication!
This kind of foresight is too outrageous!
Ethan's question made Evelyn stretch.

"Ethan, of course other states have such ideas, but Dr. Vannevar has only so many students."

"Every university wants to hire his students to do scientific research, but only we at Stanford can guarantee that we can hire Fred Terman to teach, because Fred Terman's father, Lewis Terman, is our father. Professor at Stanford."

"WTF?!!!"

Ethan suspected that something was wrong with his ears!

The best president in Stanford history was trained by Stanford himself?

What the hell!

What the hell is this?
Buying a lottery ticket doesn't bring such a winning prize!

And his surprise made Evelyn giggle, "Surprised, isn't it?"

"Actually, when I got into Stanford the first day, I was surprised too."

"Because our teachers told us directly that our engineering school is the most detached school at Stanford."

"Not only because HP came out of here, but also because President Fred Terman will never leave Stanford."

"All scientific researchers are likely to be poached by other schools, but President Fred Terman will not, because he was already playing on Stanford's campus when he was ten years old. That was in 1910, right? At that time, his father, Lewis Terman, was hired by Stanford as a professor of educational psychology, and later, he was promoted to the head of the psychology department."

"Before his death, his father had been teaching at Stanford, because his father liked this place, and Principal Fred Terman played here since he was a child. The feelings built up over time cannot be shaken by others. of."

"Some media outside said that it was an accident that Fred Terman was teaching at Stanford, because after he graduated, he got a job offer from MIT, and stayed at Stanford only because he contracted tuberculosis when he came back to visit his father. .”

"But actually..."

"As far as we know, before he came back, Stanford, who knew that he studied under Dr. Vannevar, had already prepared him a professorship letter of radio engineering and made him the director of the electronic communication laboratory."

"Do you think other schools don't want to poach people?"

"Do not……"

"It's because they can't dig it out at all."

"More importantly, Principal Fred was only 25 years old when he became director."

Having said that, Evelyn also stared at Ethan with straight eyes.

Feeling the hot gaze, Ethan, who was driving, glanced at the rearview mirror in the center of the car.

When this behavior was captured by Evelyn, she pursed her lips and said, "So you know why California thinks it can lead technological change, right? Because Stanford University gave them hope."

"And the reality proves that everyone's predictions are correct."

"Because before Dr. Vannevar put forward the report of "Endless Frontier", President Fred Terman had already learned from his teacher that the other party wanted to vigorously promote the development of scientific research in universities."

"He told Stanford about this, and when the "Endless Frontier" report came out, Fred Terman was promoted to the vice principal of the school, and then, in this name, he communicated with the scientists of the Wartime Research Bureau communicate."

"At that time, he was at Harvard. Under the leadership of Dr. Vannevar, he was in charge of a scientific research project with more than 800 people. When he told the scientists there that the war was coming to an end, Stanford would like to invite everyone to go to Harvard. Do research……"

"What do you make those scientists think? Many of them think that President Fred conveyed Dr. Vannevar's will, and many people who are willing to follow Dr. Vannevar came to Stanford."

"Then, the following year, the Stanford Research Institute was established."

'...'

Ok!

Ethan was deeply moved by her sister's narration.

If California's permissive environment was the result of a postwar influx of scientists, the outrageous legal provisions would make sense.

After all, this law protects the interests of California's largest source of income, those scientists who have been proven by war!

They are the foundation of America's success!
When these people can't control their own inventions, where does the motivation for research come from?
So, how can it be called plagiarism if the patent inventor copies his own things?
This is obviously a re-study of previous scientific research results!

As for those capitalists who hold patent rights?
Without the patents developed by scientists, how could it be possible to breed capitalists who make profits?

　Note: ① Fred Terman's father, Lewis Terman, is very famous. Currently, the longest and longest longitudinal study in psychology "Terman Gifted Research" is done by him, and the current IQ test' The Binet Intelligence Scale' was also standardized by him. ②The matter of Fred Terman robbing Stanford is very interesting. He poached Harvard’s corner on the Harvard campus, and directly told those scientists that going to Stanford can get better treatment. If he hadn’t been a student of Vanneva got kicked out. ③Stanford Research Institute is a long-term project. Stanford wanted to do it in 1920. The trustee at that time was Michinzong, but it failed because Michinzong was not engaged in academics and had no resources.Later, in 45 years, Lockheed wanted to do it, and he recruited the Illinois Institute of Technology to provide scientific research strength for Stanford, but it didn't work out.For the third time, Fred Terman, the principal whose family lives in Stanford, came. Compared with the previous two times, Fred Terman, who is backed by Van Nevaux, has a natural scientific research advantage.It took more than 20 years to develop technology in the Bay Area. Of course, no one thought that it would be able to embrace such a big thigh in the end.
