I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 992 The So-Called Innovation

In fact, Li Tian also vaguely felt it before, and Tiangongyuan has fallen into a short-term bottleneck period at this time.

Everything seems to be developing smoothly.

But in essence, it is still based on the technical reference given by Li Tian.

They still have no way to break away from the scope that Li Tian set for them, and create their own innovative technology.

Even if Li Tian proposed to them the reference of the new technology, without specific objects as a reference, they still don't know what to do next.

This is like a student who has just entered elementary school and is still ignorant of everything. He only follows what the teacher teaches every day, and learns a little bit.

Not yet ready, self-study, self-thinking preparation.

But you can't blame them either.

After all, unlike Li Tian, ​​they have a clear understanding of the development of science and technology in the next few hundred years, and know in what direction this technology should be innovated and improved.

In addition, they have not studied systematically like Li Tian, ​​the most basic science subjects such as physics, chemistry, and mathematics.

Even the most outstanding talents of Tiangong Academy, Zhou Zhen and others who have passed the Jinshi examination, are only very strong in the classics and history collections.

For technical and engineering subjects, the research is not so thorough.

This is true for him, the top leader, not to mention those craftsmen who may not have even read the book, and rely on all their crafts, word of mouth, or a little bit of groping by themselves.

Without systematic study and basic knowledge, they will not be able to broaden their horizons and foresee the future development direction.

There is an old saying that is very true. Without a reference, it is undoubtedly the most difficult to open up an unprecedented path.

The reason why China in the future can leap from a poor and weak country to the world's second largest economy in just over twenty years, and even be called the world's factory.

Although there are unremitting efforts of the older generation, there are many references in the world to refer to, which is also a very important reason.

As for their poor foundation, Li Tian actually noticed it very early.

However, this problem is a problem that cannot be solved in a day or two.

That's why he was so anxious and asked them to get out the Gongdian first.

And spent a lot of time and energy to sort out their own understanding of basic natural science, and help them improve and expand the Gongdian to a certain extent.

It can be said that as long as the compilation of the Code of Engineering is completed and all the scientific researchers of the Tiangong Institute have a thorough understanding, their self-research ability and innovation ability can definitely be improved to a great stage.

Li Tian attaches great importance to the compilation of this great work.

They often find the staff responsible for the compilation and discuss it all night. Whenever they encounter difficult problems, they will basically go to Li Tian for advice.

And Li Tian didn't tire of taking the trouble, explaining to them over and over again.

But what he can do alone is still very limited, after all, no matter how detailed he explains.

Inevitably there will be mistakes and omissions.

If it is placed in later generations, if a point of knowledge is wrong, someone will naturally point it out to him if he is found out, but now, even if he is wrong, no one can tell.

And these errors, when they are actually used in the future, are likely to cause great trouble.

Therefore, when Li Tian explained certain knowledge to them, he was careful and cautious, for fear that there would be a major mistake somewhere that would lead to an accident.

It can be said that not only the editors were very difficult to hear, but even Li Tian was very tired.

But he had to do it again.

After all, in this era, he is the only one who has insight and knowledge reserves far beyond this era, and this is also a key factor for Daming to rise at an extremely fast rate in the future.

Zhou Zhen and others couldn't think of Li Tian's far-reaching place. In fact, they have always felt very good, and they have even begun to feel complacent.

They are proud and proud, Li Tian has no objection, but he has to deal with complacency.

So at the beginning of the meeting, Li Tian raised this issue very seriously.

"During this period of time, the progress of Tiangong Academy is obvious to all, and I am also proud of you.

But there is one thing that you may not remember, I want to remind you again today. "

"In fact, you can find all kinds of things I handed over to you in ancient books, similar or even more complete records.

This knowledge, in fact, has been studied by our ancestors a long time ago.

But have you ever thought about why such a long time has passed, and those things that were supposed to shine have disappeared quietly in the dust of history. "

"Maybe it's because we cherish ourselves, or maybe it's out of date, but there is one thing in common.

That is, not paying attention, not understanding, not understanding.

Not only the people who created those technologies are like this, even those in power don't care much. "

"Everything we have created now can be regarded as picking up the wisdom of others and improving on the basis of the creations of the sages.

Although we have achieved certain results, in less than half a year, we have created a value worth millions or even tens of millions.

But have you ever thought about it.

What should we do if one day the essence of our predecessors is used up by us, and we can no longer obtain new knowledge from their skills? "

At the beginning, everyone in Tiangongyuan was still in high spirits. After all, what Li Tian said was basically praising them.

But the last sentence made them slowly fall silent.

Especially Zhou Zhen and other main persons in charge of Tiangong Academy.

Ordinary craftsmen may not understand the importance of this sentence, but they understand it very well.

For things like technology, only by constantly updating and iterating can we firmly grasp the competitive advantage.

Since they can find these valuable inventions and creations from ancient books.

Then others may also copy it.

Take the most profitable soap currently.

To sum up, his manufacturing process is not very responsible.

But anyone who has been working for more than half a year and has been in contact with all manufacturing processes can basically replicate this technology as long as he is more careful.

Soap is so violent, there are countless people who want to spy on the production process every day.

No matter how strict they are, it may not take a year or so for someone to figure out the principle and copy it.
