Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 1349 The Eternal Temple (Third update, please subscribe)
It's hard for a follower to become the first, so be the leader!
This is especially true in scientific research.

"If we just blindly chase after others, we will always be left behind. We must be scientific pioneers."

Being a pioneer has its price. After all, no one can guarantee whether the research direction is correct. If the direction is wrong, then the efforts will be in vain.

Sometimes, choosing the wrong technology tree is more terrible than being a follower, just like in another world, the Soviets directly chose the electron tube, and the consequences were disastrous. Even if they suddenly realized it after just 10 years, the consequences were already doomed. Even if they wanted to make amends later, it would be difficult to reverse the situation.

Sometimes, this world is so cruel. As a pursuer, you will be left behind by others and you won't even be able to see their taillights. If you want to surpass others, but click on the wrong technology tree, the result will be more than just not being able to see their taillights.

Therefore, for developing countries, this choice seems to be difficult, because if they are not careful, they will be doomed.

However, at NBC, this does not seem to have any impact because there is one person who controls the overall direction.

Every weekend, unless there are any unexpected events, Li Yian, who is also a scholar, will invite some young scholars to visit him. In the past, it was at the official residence, but now it is at the "new official residence".

Here they talk about academic issues, discuss scientific theories and the development of applied technology. Although Li Yian is just a listener most of the time, sometimes he plays the role of a "prophet" and, through appropriate reminders or guidance, allows those young scholars to go further on the road of scientific exploration.

Is this "cheating"?

Of course not, but for the common progress of all mankind.

"…while conducting research on semiconductors, I discovered…"

Looking at the young man who was talking, Li Yian looked at him encouragingly, motioning him to continue.

Cui Qi!

PhD in Physics from NBC University!

When he saw this name, Li Yian checked his file specifically. Yes, it was Cui Qi from Baofeng County, Central Plains Province. In another world, Cui Qi won the Nobel Prize in Physics together with European and American scientists for discovering and explaining the special phenomenon of electronic quantum fluid.

In this world, he still chose physics and continued to engage in research in solid-state physics, and his research direction was still semiconductors.

Sometimes, life is so wonderful.

Although Li Yian did not study physics, he stood on the shoulders of historical giants by relying on the physics skills that were systematically instilled in him and integrating the physics knowledge he learned in high school and college.

In the field of physics, he is definitely at the "master" level.

In fact, to a certain extent, this system is actually a "master system". Its purpose is not to teach Li Yian to master skills, but to make him a master in a certain field with its help!
At least a master in academic knowledge.

And this kind of master, although he is only good at "paper talk", in many cases, is just a "written" copy.

But for NBC's scientific development, it is the biggest booster!
There will be countless pits on the road of human science, and most of the time, it is scientists who use their lives to fill them up bit by bit!

Like Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao, there are many people who seem to have been blessed with a life of luck. They achieved breakthroughs in their research fields and became successful at a very young age.

What is the biggest bug in human scientific research?
Many scientists proposed a theory or made a new discovery when they were young, and then spent ten or twenty years conducting research. After continuous trial and error, by the time they succeeded, they were already old, thus missing the era when it is easiest to produce results.

Because the human brain ages, the corresponding perception, memory, calculation speed, reasoning ability, etc. will continue to decline with age. This physiological phenomenon is called "fluid intelligence."

A person's fluid intelligence reaches its peak at around the age of 20, reaches its peak at the age of 25, and then slowly declines after the age of 25, so the older you are, the lower your fluid intelligence.

By the time these geniuses achieved corresponding breakthroughs, they were already old!
And what about future generations?

Although in-depth research can be conducted on their basis, the gap between talent and genius is obvious.

Genius is genius!

Li Yian is clearly aware of this, especially at salon gatherings in the past few years, where he has indeed come into contact with many geniuses.

However, the life of a genius is limited, and the research they conduct in related fields, from a certain perspective, seems to be a waste of life.

Therefore, this is exactly the goal of establishing this salon, whose purpose is to give these geniuses "guidance" so that they will not work hard in the wrong direction for decades.

In other words, wasting their precious lives.

From a probabilistic point of view, the number of geniuses is limited.

If we look at the long history of human science, we can clearly see that there are only a few geniuses in each period of time. In fact, in each period of time, it is those geniuses who promote the development of human science.

It is definitely a very beneficial thing for human beings to give full play to the intelligence level of geniuses. After all, geniuses are more likely to achieve success and breakthroughs in certain fields.

Therefore, we must cherish their lives and let them devote their limited lives to the infinite cause of science.

It is also for this reason that it helps the geniuses and talents of this era to broaden their horizons and gives them inspiration that transcends their times, thus promoting a leap forward for the entire era.

Simply put, it is to give full play to the role of genius and promote the growth of talents.

Make key breakthroughs, focus on the big and let go of the small.

In fact, this is a very simple matter. When chatting with Chen Ning Yang, we can talk about quantum physics. With Tsui, we can also talk about two-dimensional electron physics. All we need is appropriate theoretical guidance.

In fact, sometimes it is the "key move", that layer of window paper, just like the invention of optical fiber, the core breakthrough is glass of higher purity.

But it took Kao several decades to make this discovery.

Sometimes, human scientific development is so incredible, as if there is a huge "BUG" in human society that restricts the development of human society.

In the past few years, Li Yian has been overcoming this "BUG" by chatting with contemporary scientists on theoretical issues at the "New Official Residence" science salon.

As a "cross-border expert", he does not want to be Einstein himself, but to give appropriate guidance, just like a teacher, to point them out of the confusion and help them clear the fog at the appropriate time.

The rest is left to them. After all, they have to attack head-on and achieve breakthroughs in theory and application.

My role is, at most, the number one on the list. I can give them “rocket” to achieve “acceleration of human civilization”!
That evening, at the scientific salon in the "New Residence", there was not only Tsui Qi, but also many other people, most of whom were talented.

No one knows whether there are geniuses among them, but what is certain is that in the past few years, too many young scientists have emerged from this salon.

Some of them have already made certain breakthroughs and progress in many scientific fields, and it is unclear how high they can push human civilization.

I'm afraid only God knows.

Li Yian is not clear about the future, but when discussing academic issues and scientific application research with these young scholars,
Looking at them, what Li Yian saw was the future.

"...chips, or integrated circuits, are the future. The 2000 million times computing power of Deep Blue 2000 has indeed shocked the world, but this is just the beginning. In the future, a chip the size of a fingernail may have the computing power of Deep Blue , or even be equivalent to dozens or hundreds of Deep Blues..."

Such a statement naturally aroused their curiosity, and after being surprised, some of them would naturally ask questions.

"How can this be?"

This question is not worth mentioning. Compared with such surprise, Li Yian hopes that someone will ask:

“How do we make that happen?”

Yes, how do we achieve this?

In response to a question from a young scholar, Li Yian smiled slightly and then talked about his "idea".

That evening's "Science Salon" was the same as any other day, starting at 6:30 p.m. and ending at midnight. After the salon, Li Yian, as usual, saw off these young scholars. He came to the new official residence, sent them to the car one by one, and said goodbye to them one by one.

"goodbye……"

Looking at the car going away, Li Yian waved his hand and looked at his sons around him. He said:

"Some of them will become eternal!"

"what?"

Their father’s question stunned the brothers Li Yixuan and Li Yiyuan. In the past few years, they also joined the salon, but they were not participants, but spectators.

"Power is an ancient temple that can stand for hundreds of years. But the people who hold power will change. With the death of the emperor, the former greatness has become insignificant and the worship has turned into smoke."

Standing in front of this majestic palace, Li Yian felt calm:
"But scientists are eternal. People will remember the names of Archimedes, Newton, Watt, Einstein and many other scientists. Even hundreds of years later, their names will still be engraved in the temples of mankind. They are eternal!"

When he said this, Li Yian was calm. In the past nearly 20 years, perhaps sometimes, as a cross-border knowledge king, he felt that he was omnipotent.
But he knew very well what eternity was.

Even the greatest empires can fall, and even the greatest emperors can die.

With the fall of the empire and the death of the emperor, the former greatness will turn into insignificance and the worship will vanish into thin air.

Only a few people have achieved eternity, namely scientists who have promoted the progress of human society.

Compared to them, politicians... are simply scum of the earth!
A politician who does not hold back scientists is already a good politician, and a politician who knows how to promote scientists' research is extremely rare.

While expressing his emotion, Li Yian said with a smile as he looked at the children around him who were taller than him.

"Therefore, our responsibility is to create a good environment for their research and let our names be eternalized under their glory..."

When it comes to borrowing light, Li Yian is good at it.

"Dad, you are also a scientist!"

Li Yian was stunned by his son's words, and then he smiled:
"I... almost forgot this. In life, you always have to make choices. I..."

Turning around and walking towards the majestic palace, Li Yian silently said:
“I chose NBC!”

At this moment, his figure gradually lengthened under the illumination of the lights, merging into the temple of power...
