In fact, it is difficult to achieve the two conditions mentioned above, and it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult. Regarding the first difficulty, Zhao Yi has actually made a move unintentionally.
That is to comprehensively promote 15-year compulsory education and increase investment in higher education. With the country's huge population and a complete education system, the talents of students will certainly not be buried.
Even though the proportion of geniuses is relatively low, with the huge number of students, the number of students with outstanding talents is definitely worth it in absolute terms.
In the future, not only will the education system continue to be improved, but also because of the blessing of Intellectual Milk, many students who were originally ordinary will also have a certain talent foundation.
There is a certain relationship between talent and achievement, but it is not an absolute positive correlation. Some talented people may end up disappearing from the crowd because they do not study systematically.
And some people with average talents can achieve something through hard work and systematic study. Although most of them have difficulty reaching the top, they are the backbone of the huge domestic scientific research system.
Moreover, many scientific discoveries are accidental to a certain extent. Ordinary scientific researchers with a solid foundation and a large number of researchers may make unexpected discoveries during the experiment.
Or at a special point in time, they suddenly have an idea and have an interesting idea. With the idea, combined with their solid basic skills, it is not difficult to make some major results.
It’s just that our country is still in the stage of great economic development. Both the country and enterprises pay more attention to economic benefits and input-output ratio, and may have neglected basic theoretical research.
After all, it is difficult for basic theoretical research to produce economic value in a short period of time. It often takes decades, or even hundreds of years, before it is possible to apply these theories in actual production.
This is not a good deal for a country that is still developing rapidly and is catching up with developed countries.
Only when you are at the pinnacle of science and technology do you need to turn around and re-examine the basic theoretical research that you originally ignored.
This is the law of development and an inevitable trend. Just because Zhao calls on the country and enterprises to pay attention to basic theoretical research, they will obediently invest large sums of money in these areas where there is no hope in the short term.
Therefore, after having a large number of available talents, Zhao Yi still needs to spend a lot of money to invest in basic theoretical research. Only Zhao Yi can invest large sums of money into basic theoretical research regardless of short-term interests.
Some people may ask, since Zhao Yi already has the Zhouling Space, there is no need to spend a lot of energy and money on such basic theoretical research.
He only needs to sit at home and be a copywriter. He can copy and publish those undiscovered basic scientific theories. This will not only speed up the development of science and technology, but also save a lot of money and energy. Invest.
Zhao Yi himself also considered this issue, and finally concluded that he could not do this for two reasons.
The first point is that no matter how outstanding a person is, it does not represent the degree of evolution of a civilization. Instead, all people in the civilization need to evolve to a certain level, so that it can be considered the evolution of a civilization.
Therefore, Zhao Yi can only act as a leader of civilization, rather than replacing the entire civilization to achieve self-evolution. This will not only not allow the civilization to evolve, but may bring disaster to himself.
If you are half a step ahead, you are a genius. If you are one step ahead or countless steps ahead, then you are an alien or a lunatic. Not only will you not get the recognition you deserve, you may also be ostracized by the entire civilization.
This is why Zhao Yi only makes improvements on the basis of existing theories when promoting technology in his companies. The technology is still a little ahead of the world level. Even if it is much ahead, it will not be too far off.
Then among the many improved theories, Zhao Yi will include some of his own private goods, but it will not appear too abrupt. It is also an extension of other theories, or has some correlations.
The second point is that it will cause a deviation between thought and science, causing chaos within civilization, and even more serious, it may even cause the self-destruction of civilization.
This is not an alarmist statement by Zhao Yi, but a reality. Take nuclear bombs as an example. If one of the two major confrontation camps cannot come up with a nuclear bomb that can fight within a short time at the beginning, it will definitely bring unpredictable consequences in the end.
Of course, the lagging party may also choose to surrender, but this is only a choice, not an inevitable option, and other options will cause unpredictable consequences.
Even if you choose to surrender, it is actually not good for the development of civilization. It will inevitably cause the surrendered party to be enslaved and oppressed, while the advantaged party will slowly slack off because there are no competitors, which will ultimately bring about the decline of scientific development. slow.
This is just an example. If Zhao Yi comes to do it, the serious consequences may be much more serious than this. It may not be a problem between hostile forces, but a problem within himself.
Zhao Yi would rather develop slowly than be radical, because he himself will not know some of the consequences. Only by developing science in small steps can the above two dilemmas be avoided.
Even if there are some adverse consequences, the degree will be very slight. As long as it needs to be adjusted in time, it will not cause major problems.
Zhao Yi actually has the conditions to solve the first problem, so next, Zhao Yi will establish many basic research institutions and incorporate scholars with talents in this area into this system.
In Zhao Yi's view, this is nothing more than investing money. Now that he is so rich, with the development of the global economy, more and more wealth will be gathered into his hands, and he will have to spend it. .
Anyway, it has to be spent. There is nothing wrong with taking some funds out of it and using them as funds for basic scientific research. It can even be said that doing so can better safeguard the cornerstone of social development.
The second problem is that Zhao Yi adopts the method of "Western Learning Eastward", translating major Western scientific works into Chinese versions, so that domestic scholars and ordinary people can keep abreast of international scientific and technological achievements.
If it is an ordinary person, it will definitely not be able to solve this problem. Translating foreign works, especially scientific theoretical works, is very difficult.
One is to overcome language barriers, and the other is to have good scientific literacy. Only scholars with these two advantages can take up this job.
There are tens of millions of foreign works. If they all arrange for big names of this level to carry out this work, not to mention the waste of intelligence caused, even their energy will not be able to take care of it, and they will not be able to find enough manpower to carry out this work. Work.
In the past, translation was selective, and some works that had major breakthroughs or were translated by well-known scholars were translated. Although this was helpful, it failed to achieve the purpose of comprehensive communication.
But these difficulties are a piece of cake for Zhao Yi, because Zhao Yi has primary artificial intelligence in hand. By training primary artificial intelligence, he can cultivate an all-round translation expert.
Moreover, this translation expert not only has a wide range of knowledge, but also has work efficiency that cannot be achieved manually. This is Zhao Yi's confidence.
Of course, no matter how junior artificial intelligence is cultivated, there is still a gap between it and top masters. For example, junior artificial intelligence cannot accurately translate brand-new theoretical discoveries or emerging scientific terms.
At this time, manual intervention is required. Although there is this flaw, it is not particularly serious and the problem can be easily solved.
A very simple way is to highlight these doubtful questions and send them to Zhao Yi or other top collaborating scholars so that they can solve these problems.
As long as these problems are solved, the next level of artificial intelligence will no longer require manual intervention, and it will be able to accurately translate relevant papers or works by itself.
Moreover, Zhao Yi also has the basic conditions to cultivate artificial intelligence for this kind of work translation. Previously, Zhao Yi asked Tianwen University to digitize and photocopy the books in the library. The original purpose was to adapt to the reading needs of the Internet era.
These photocopied books will play a huge role in the Internet era, allowing netizens across the country and even the world to read any book they want without leaving home.
Just a move that was originally considered like this can be used to train artificial intelligence software for professional translation of works. When the artificial intelligence translation experts are trained, it will not only solve the current problems, but also be used for other purposes.
It's very simple, it's online education, which has many similarities with the previous smart teachers from Zhao Yinong, but is more professional and has a deeper level of knowledge.
The investment in compulsory education means that smart teachers are not for profit. Relatively speaking, the profit-making ability is very weak. Even Zhao Yi did not consider the profit-making issue in this aspect at the beginning.
And this kind of higher-level knowledge education, Zhao Yi can allow Chinese education companies to make profits, not only domestically, but even expand their business to the world. After all, the reach of the Internet is where their business development is. Place.
Another basic condition is that Qing Ning Entertainment was previously allowed to acquire major book publishers around the world. The original acquisition plan was just to allow Qing Ning Entertainment to hold more intellectual copyrights, especially those types of books.
In the future, we can also build an online bookstore or online reading, so that these books can be sold online, which greatly expands the business boundaries and will definitely bring greater benefits than what is currently available offline. This is out of profit considerations.
Now there is an added advantage. After the intelligent translation expert training is successful, a large number of translation originals will be needed, and most of the copyrights of these original books are in the hands of international publishers.
Not to mention the cost of purchasing book copyrights separately, the complexity involved requires a dedicated team to operate, which is particularly troublesome.
If the publishing house is purchased, or it is absolutely controlled, the convenience brought will definitely be more than a little bit stronger.
At that time, intelligent translation experts only need to work hard to translate, and do not need to worry about insufficient translation. Moreover, they can also translate the latest works in real time, without making readers wait too long. (End of chapter)
