In addition, it is to increase the national scientific community's understanding of genetic technology. If we do not study genetic technology, we will not have a clear understanding of genetic technology and will have a natural fear.
If the scientific community is afraid of genetic technology, then ordinary people in society will be as afraid of genetic technology as snakes and scorpions, which will be very detrimental to Qinnong Biological Laboratory's ability to produce more advanced genetic technology products.
The reason is very simple. If the Qingnong Biological Laboratory develops animals with excellent meat quality and feeding conditions, if the scientific community does not understand genetic technology, they will first face their opposition.
Once they oppose it on a large scale, the country will definitely impose restrictions and even formulate stricter relevant laws and regulations, which will seriously hinder the development of genetic technology.
Not to mention the common people, their understanding of genes is even less. As long as there are rumors, even if the government does not prevent related products from being released, the plan will be aborted due to low market acceptance.
This is also the same as Zhao Yi has a lot of technology, but does not use it, because the social economy and science have not developed to that level, and using it often does not necessarily lead to good results.
For example, if we want to obtain meat products now, we can only raise livestock, but Zhao Yi has the technology to directly multiply and differentiate somatic cells.
If you want mutton, you can directly extract the somatic cells of the sheep, and then you can grow a square piece of mutton from the petri dish.
With this technology, people no longer need to raise livestock as before, and meat products can be continuously produced in factories.
Not to mention meeting the domestic demand for meat products, as long as there are sufficient raw materials, it will be easy to satisfy the world's meat needs.
By analogy, there is no need to grow fruit in the future. It will be produced directly from the factory. You can produce as much as you want, and there is no need to consider weather and climate changes.
But whether such a product can be sold, Zhao Yi has a big question mark in his heart. If the people don't accept it enough, he may not only not get any benefits, but he may also make a fuss.
Zhao Yi has many more advanced technologies than this, but he will not take them out easily. He must wait until social civilization has developed to a certain level, otherwise he may still be treated as a monster.
This is also the development of civilization that Zhao Yi has always emphasized. Only when civilization develops to a certain extent can he come up with science and technology that is suitable for it. If you are half a step ahead, you are a genius, and if you are one step ahead, you are a madman. This sentence is not for nothing. of.
In addition to these scientific research projects that have attracted Zhao Yi's attention, Zhao Yi will also cooperate with the government to invest in some other projects, otherwise he would not need so much funds at all.
After this meeting, Zhao Yi conducted relevant negotiations with the government. During the negotiations, Zhao Yi clearly reiterated his first attitude, which was that he hoped that more government funds could be invested in the field of basic theoretical research.
This is not only the responsibility of the government, but also because the scale of funds invested by the government is also limited and can only focus on investing in some scientific research fields. However, basic theoretical research often has low commercial value. If the government does not invest, there is basically no hope for development. .
For example, if we want to accelerate the development of high-energy physics in our country, it is inevitable to independently develop a high-energy particle accelerator, and the construction cost of this device is as high as tens of billions of yuan.
Another example is the lunar exploration plan, which aims to land humans. The entire project also requires huge financial support, and private capital will not participate in these areas.
Of course, Zhao Yi is different from ordinary capital after all, so he will invest appropriately in these aspects, but he hopes to occupy a higher share in projects that can be used in practical applications and projects that can obtain economic benefits in the short term.
After some negotiations, Zhao Yi won 50% of the investment share in the high-speed rail project.
In the future, the income will be based on this proportion, and the government will use existing train research units and enterprises as equity capital to jointly establish a very large enterprise to operate this matter.
In fact, Zhao Yi can also develop it on his own, but the railway is still in the hands of the government and there is no sign of opening up, so even if he develops it on his own, the final order still needs the support of the Ministry of Railways.
As for the controllable nuclear fusion project, Zhao Yi chose to develop it alone, and the government will also invest funds to support a research team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to conduct research and development.
This is because the technical route chosen by Zhao Yi and the country is different. The national team follows the existing controllable nuclear fusion theory and uses magnetic confinement, which seems to be much less difficult to achieve.
What Zhao Yi chose was the most difficult one, which was to be tough on the materials and not play with the imaginary ones. In other words, Zhao Yi was going to develop a model that could withstand the high temperatures of nuclear fusion and at the same time, be able to withstand the medium temperature. The material the sub hits.
With this kind of material, the problem of controllable nuclear fusion will be easily solved. However, it is impossible to study such a material in a short time. This is why the international community has never considered this solution.
It's just that Zhao Yi has a golden finger, so it's not that difficult to realize it. Of course, he won't take it out from the beginning, and will let Xinhui Energy Company study it for the time being.
I don’t expect them to be able to actually research this material. I just hope they can produce some other materials in the process of researching this material. In this case, it is possible to earn back the money invested.
When the time is right, it will not be too late for Zhao Yi to intervene. By then, controllable nuclear fusion will become very simple, and he will definitely be able to eat a bowl of soup.
The space program is mainly funded by government funds, supplemented by his own funds. After all, the smooth implementation of the space program can enhance domestic national pride, greatly enhance the country's international image, and benefit the government much more.
As a private capital, the initial investment is in vain, and it is basically impossible to get back the capital. It is regarded as supporting national space exploration. The real space technology will still be handed over to the Future Space Technology Company.
Zhao Yi did not participate in the genetic engineering projects listed in the general outline. The government did not quite understand what he meant at first. After all, he was quite enthusiastic about genetic technology.
As a result, Zhao Yi agreed to let Qinnong Biological Laboratory authorize the provision of some basic genetic research technologies and patents to these genetic research project teams, and the government knew what Zhao Yi meant.
This is due to the fact that the two are not on the same level in the field of genetic research. If the research is merged, it will be an aid to the national team, and it will be difficult to talk about cooperation.
In addition, Zhao Yi has also reached more than 100 cooperation projects with the Science Development Fund, some of which Zhao Yi has invested a large share of, and some of which the government has invested a large share of.
When the dust of this negotiation is settled, domestic scientific development will enter a new stage.
The demand for scientific research personnel will also surge. It can be said that this is a huge good news for domestic scientific research talents, at least the salary level will rise a lot.
This desire for high-end talents will also promote the development of domestic higher education, and the impact will definitely be far-reaching.
In addition to cooperation on specific scientific research projects, Zhao Yi and the government have established corresponding scientific awards respectively. Zhao Yi has independently funded the establishment of the Natural Science Award, which mainly rewards breakthroughs in scientific theory and is benchmarked against the Nobel Prize.
Zhao Yi also thought about naming this award after himself, but he was too young and not yet at the point where he needed to name the award after himself, so he gave up.
Of course, the natural science awards will not involve liberal arts awards. In Zhao Yi's view, liberal arts awards are difficult to quantify. Wen Wu is not the first to talk about it. There will be controversy no matter what, so it is better to just focus on scientific awards.
Moreover, in Zhao Yi's view, things like the Nobel Peace Prize are just a joke and have become nothing more than dolls of Western politics. He himself is particularly disgusted with such things.
The awards are set for mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biomedicine. Each winner can receive a bonus of 1 million yuan. This amount of money is still very objective when the RMB has not depreciated.
Moreover, each award may be received by multiple people every year. The maximum number of recipients of each award is 5 and the minimum is 1.
The purpose is to avoid the situation like the Nobel Prize, where people queue up to receive the award. The people who receive the award are all old and eighty years old. In the end, it becomes a lifetime achievement award. Zhao Yi thinks that is not interesting at all.
What he hopes more is to reward these scientific geniuses and give them fame when they first show their talents, and then allow them to obtain more resources and make more contributions to society.
Instead of giving them some awards and honors when they are too old to do anything, such honors actually have no big effect. Apart from adding honor to the recipients, they have little practical significance.
Of course, there will definitely be many new theories that will not be verified immediately. For example, Einstein's theory of relativity did not win the Nobel Prize for it until his death. Instead, he won the Nobel Prize for his early photoelectric effect.
Because Einstein's theory of relativity cannot be conclusively proven to be right, and of course it cannot be proven that it is wrong. For such undeterminable reasons, it was not awarded the Nobel Prize.
Such a situation will not exist on Zhao Yi's side, because Zhao Yi holds Zhou Ling and Zhou Ling space, and it is much easier to verify whether these theories are correct or not.
Of course, Zhao Yi's verification may not necessarily win the recognition of the scientific community around the world, but what does it matter? As long as Zhao Yi thinks their theory is correct, he will give them an award.
Anyway, this award was established with his own funds, so he has the qualifications to be willful.
This is also the reason why Zhao Yi chose breakthroughs in scientific theories to establish the award. Only he has this condition and can judge whether this theory is correct in a short period of time.
The country does not have this condition, so the awards established by the country are more application-oriented. The name is the National Science and Technology Development Award, which mainly promulgates research-based breakthroughs in the field of science, technology and engineering.
For example, the theory of controllable nuclear fusion is now understood by everyone, but it cannot be created. If controllable nuclear fusion is really achieved, then it will definitely win the Science and Technology Development Award.
The awarding rules are similar to those in the previous life. The scope of awards is mainly based on domestic technological breakthroughs, while overseas awards are based on technological breakthroughs in cooperative projects. The scope is smaller than the awards established by Zhao Yi.
This is determined by the nature of practical technology. A pure scientific theory will benefit the whole world after it is released. Therefore, in the face of this purely theoretical science, everyone has greater goodwill, and the battles within it will not be very serious. fierce.
In terms of practical technology, competition between countries is actually quite fierce. From a national perspective, there is no need for me to use my own money to reward scientific and technological achievements that may pose a threat to my country.
If other countries have developed atomic bombs, do we still need to award awards to the technical teams that developed them? I’m afraid it’s too late to feel awkward.
This is one of the reasons why theoretical researchers have a higher international reputation. Another reason is of course that theoretical research is the basis for scientific development and can be regarded as the guiding light of human scientific civilization.
In addition to setting up awards, Zhao Yi also unites major universities and scientific research units in the country to jointly develop a top scientific magazine, because all the good names related to science have been occupied by others.
So Zhao Yi proposed to name the magazine Tianwen. Although it makes people feel that it is related to Tianwen University, in the absence of a good name, this name seems very suitable, and it is particularly Chinese.
In addition to its good name, Zhao Yilai is basically responsible for all the expenses for this magazine. The uncle is the one who pays for it. Of course, other universities and scientific research units have no objections.
The goal of this journal is to benchmark against top foreign comprehensive magazines, so that domestic scientific researchers have a place to publish their results, instead of having to submit to foreign magazines for publication in order to gain recognition, as in previous generations.
It's not Zhao Yi's nationalism, it's because in this case, our country will never be able to grasp the right to speak scientifically from Western countries. This is also one of Zhao Yi's efforts to promote domestic scientific development this time.
Of course, since you want to benchmark against top international scientific journals, the articles published there must also have a certain technical content. There may be certain difficulties in collecting high-quality papers in the early stage.
Therefore, Zhao Yi still needs to let his companies and research units release some research results appropriately.
For example, Tianxing Semiconductor Company can publish their research results on second-generation semiconductor materials, and Qingnong Biological Laboratory can release some biological research results to bolster the reputation of this top magazine.
Of course, the paper on the discovery and characteristics of graphene materials written by Professor Shi Gaolin will also be published in this magazine. As for whether foreign countries will subscribe to it, Zhao Yi has no control over it.
This groundbreaking theory was published in Tianwen magazine. If foreign research institutions and scientific and technological workers do not subscribe, it will be their own loss, not ours.
Another item that attracts the attention of many experts and scholars is the government's decision to establish the National Science Development Council as the highest guiding academic institution for domestic scientific development.
Being able to join this committee is the highest recognition given by experts and scholars in the field of science and technology. Every expert and scholar who joins must be a leader in the field.
Zhao Yi did not intend to join it. After all, this academic committee has a certain official nature. As a private individual, there is no need for him to participate, and there is no need to use the resources inside to support himself.
After all, he has nothing to ask for anymore. A little more honor or a little less honor will not have much impact on him. Therefore, although he proposed the establishment of the National Science and Technology Development Committee, he is not very enthusiastic about participating in it.
It was just that he had the greatest achievements in the field of mathematics in the country, and he inevitably ended up serving as a member of the mathematics development group. He was originally supposed to be the leader of the group, but Zhao Yi rejected it.
He simply has no interest or time to worry about such administrative matters. If there are any suggestions for mathematical development, he is willing to act as an expert and provide some consulting suggestions. This aspect does not take much time and does not require too much worry.
What makes Zhao Yi more helpless is that the chairman of the National Science and Technology Development Commission still falls on the government staff. This is something Zhao Yi cannot decide.
Besides, except for some private research institutions, most of the scientific workers who want to work in the country hold public positions, and Zhao Yi is the only white person in the entire committee.
Fortunately, the rules within the committee stipulate that the candidate to serve as president must have an academic background. This is because it is afraid that laymen will lead experts.
Although it is impossible for the president to still be on the front line of scientific research, at least he was once a member of the academic field and would not make common sense mistakes. This is something Zhao Yi is a little relieved about.
The first thing the National Science and Technology Development Commission did after its establishment was to integrate domestic scientific research forces and form several highly influential scientific research institutes.
This is also one of the ten points proposed by Zhao Yi. In addition to strengthening academic exchanges and improving the academic influence of related scientific classifications, the other purpose is to provide a certain level of living security for those who concentrate on research.
Not everyone is suitable to teach in universities. They prefer to conduct their own research in obscurity, but their research is more theoretical and cannot bring them much economic income.
Such talents need the state to provide certain financial support so that they can conduct their own research with peace of mind. At the same time, bringing these relatively introverted people together will facilitate academic exchanges between them and be quite beneficial to their research.
Moreover, these basic science research institutes are all under the name of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The Chinese Academy of Sciences actually had related institutes before, but the scope has not been expanded to this extent, and the funding provided will not be as sufficient as it is now.
Otherwise, there would be no situation where the Institute of Computing would have to go out to generate income on its own. This is because the Institute of Computing has something to do with practical technology. Like pure theoretical research, it would be difficult to generate income.
This move can be regarded as an upgrade to the existing scientific research system. Zhao Yi remains optimistic about their future development.
As for the transformation of scientific research results, Zhao Yi's suggestion is that the government should encourage the development of patent technology intermediary companies and agency companies. Only in this way can these intermediary companies or agency companies sell the patented technology in their hands as much as possible.
As long as it can be sold, scientific research results can be truly transformed into real economic development power. (End of chapter)
