Originally, Zhao Yi was too lazy to pay attention to the discussions about him on the Internet and the media. Anyway, through this appearance, his goal was achieved. As for appearing frequently in public, he was not very interested.
Originally, he didn't pay too much attention to these malicious speculations. After all, the mouth is on someone else's body, and it is impossible to completely control it.
But as the trend gradually grew, not only foreign media speculated like this, but also a group of people in the mainland followed suit, making the government departments a little passive and had to ask him to personally come forward to clarify.
According to the opinions of the relevant departments, it is best to accept a conversational interview. There are programs in this area, whether on ATV or CCTV, and they have good influence.
ATV's talk programs have great influence internationally, while CCTV's talk programs are only more influential domestically. If he wants to participate, ATV's talk programs are more in line with his requirements.
Although talk shows do not need to waste too much of his time, he is still very reluctant to go back and forth because the robot research work has entered a critical period and he does not have much time to waste.
If he didn't need a chance to show his face in public, to be honest, he wouldn't even bother to attend the opening ceremony of the Beijing-Tianjin high-speed railway. Anyway, without him, it wouldn't have much impact.
As a result, his purpose of showing up was achieved, and far exceeded his deadline. He became famous not only domestically, but also internationally, becoming the focus of global discussion during this period.
In particular, what ATV has collected about his achievements in various academic fields has made the world more curious about him. What kind of person is he who can achieve such great academic achievements in so many fields.
Even Tianwen, the top domestic journal that publishes papers bearing his name, has entered the international public eye, which was unimaginable before.
According to statistics from Tianwen Publishing House, there are very few institutions in China that subscribe to the journal "Tianwen" because not many people can understand the square characters written on it.
It is not easy to write proficiently in square characters, let alone an academic paper written in square characters, which is even more difficult to understand.
People who are familiar with Chinese may not necessarily have much academic literacy, and those who are academically literate were not willing to learn Chinese before, but their English is becoming more fluent than the last.
Coupled with the popularity of Polaris' smart translators in international trade, there are even fewer people learning Chinese because they are simply not needed for ordinary communication.
This is also an important reason why my country’s foreign trade has developed so rapidly and the international proportion is so high, but the number of people learning Chinese has not increased on a large scale.
Professional translation software is currently only used in domestic universities and research institutes, and has not yet been directly oriented to the external market, so they cannot translate through professional translation software.
The wording of academic works is very strict. If you use ordinary translation software to translate, if you only miss one or two words in the translation, the meaning may be completely different, and the consequences will be serious.
Therefore, after the ATV documentary came out, the number of foreign subscriptions to the "Tianwen" journal surged significantly. This obviously attracted the attention of foreign academic institutions and forced them to face up to the academic results published in the "Tianwen" journal.
But after getting the "Tianwen" journal, their headache is how to understand the text on it. Those who translate such top-level academic papers must have both excellent bilingual skills and excellent academic qualities.
Only those who have both can bear the important task of translation. Currently, those who have this ability are basically the international students sent by our country to study abroad.
Although our country's scientific research environment and strength have made great progress over the years, many students can learn top scientific knowledge without studying abroad, resulting in a significant reduction in the proportion of top domestic students studying abroad.
However, in order to better understand the status of international academic research, our country still sends a large number of international students to study every year. Although there are not many top talents, there are still many inferior talents sent out.
Because top talents have entered the top laboratories in the country, Zhao Yi's laboratories have recruited many talents, as well as national laboratories. In recent years, scientific research funding has increased significantly and the research environment has also been greatly improved.
In addition, Tianwen Publishing House translates a large number of foreign academic works and academic journal contents, allowing domestic scientific researchers to understand the scientific research trends and progress of foreign countries without going abroad.
Moreover, in many fields, our country's research progress is obviously much ahead of that of foreign countries. In our leading fields, there is no need to send a large number of talents to study abroad. Secondary talents will be enough.
The international students who were previously tepid abroad have received great attention from their tutors after this incident. They clearly feel that the relationship between their tutors and them is much better than before.
The journal "Tianwen" is released from time to time. When enough academic papers have been accumulated, they will be published. At the beginning, it was published once a month.
Nowadays, with the increase of domestic scientific research results, the frequency of publishing an issue is basically maintained at once a week. The reason why it is so high is mainly because "Tianwen" is a comprehensive journal and covers many academic fields.
This gives international students a relatively fixed job, which is to translate papers related to their own academic fields in each issue. Although it is a bit of hard work, the benefits are also very obvious.
During the translation process, they inevitably have to exchange opinions with their tutors, and the process of exchanging opinions is actually a learning process, which is very helpful to their own academic growth.
Using international students to translate these academic papers can only be a stopgap measure. If you want to better communicate with our country's academic community, these scholars still need to learn Chinese in person. Otherwise, they will always have to ask for help from others and get only second-hand information. .
Such a result is what Zhao Yi wanted. As long as my country's top academic journals are recognized by the global academic community and can make scholars from the global academic community willing to learn Chinese, half of the goal will be achieved.
On the other hand, we hope that scholars around the world can get used to writing their papers in Chinese and then publish them in our journals. If this effect is achieved, it means that we have mastered the right to speak in the global academic community.
However, we are still close to achieving this goal. We still need to work hard for a long time to further improve our country's academic research until we are fully ahead of foreign levels. Only then can we achieve this.
Being able to complete half of the goal in such a short period of time is considered a good achievement. At least the relevant plans we made before were successful, but because the time is still short, the maximum effect has not yet been achieved.
Since he didn't want to go out and waste time, he was going to record a video in his laboratory and hand it over to Qianxun Technology Company for promotion. By the way, it would also increase the popularity of their short video platform, which was killing two birds with one stone.
His laboratory is very large, and he plans to take some photos to let the outside world know about his current working environment, so as to dispel the doubts of the outside world.
It's just that there are too many confidential scientific research projects involved in his private laboratory. Before recording the video, he needs to clean it up to avoid accidentally taking pictures that he shouldn't take.
As for the robot research he is currently conducting, he simply does not plan to take pictures this time because it is too messy inside and will be very troublesome to clean up, and it will take time to restore it to working condition later.
After simply cleaning up, he picked up the shooting pole, installed the Polaris company's smartphone, and then started recording, wearing laboratory clothes.
"Hello everyone, I have been working on my own research projects during this time. In fact, it is not just this time. It can be said that most of my time is spent on research. This is why I don't appear in public very often. main reason.
I think most of the accomplished scientific researchers in the world basically live a similar life to me. They invest day and night in a certain research and are very happy for a little experimental breakthrough.
The main purpose of shooting this video this time is to respond to the speculation and doubts from the outside world. If it were not for this incident, I would not want to waste time shooting the video, because my time should not be wasted on such things.
If it hadn't caused so much trouble to all parties, to be honest, I don't think the unwarranted media's groundless or malicious speculations would have the right for me to waste my time clarifying it.
Everyone knows that the golden scientific research time of scientific researchers is not long. After the age of 40, it will gradually begin to decline. I am fortunate to be able to make a difference when I am still young. Of course, I must cherish the short and precious time more.
Without further ado, the place I am in now is my own private laboratory. Although the laboratory space is very large, I am the only one.
There are two main reasons for this situation: The first reason is that I don’t like excitement and want to do the research I like alone.
Another reason is that the research projects involved are highly confidential. The more people there are, the greater the management difficulties will be. It is not as comfortable as doing scientific research alone.
Now I invite all netizens to follow my camera lens to see what the environment of my private laboratory is like. At the same time, I also ask you to guess what equipment I used to shoot this video.
What we are in now is a mechanical laboratory, which contains important experiments that I am conducting. Since it involves confidentiality issues, I will not take detailed photos for everyone to see.
Now we go to other laboratories. Not far from the mechanical laboratory is the electronic laboratory, which is mainly used to study electronic semiconductor hardware. Due to the needs of experiments, many electronic hardware equipment need to be customized and researched by ourselves.
The equipment you see is all built by Tiangong Precision Instrument Company. Tiangong Precision Instrument Company is the world's leading precision instrument R&D and production enterprise. Their industrial processing equipment is widely used in my country's industrial processing and production fields.
Maybe you don’t have a very intuitive feeling when I say this, but anyone who has studied in college will know which company their school’s experimental instruments are from. You can also ask the staff of major domestic industrial enterprises for detailed information.
Going on to say this is a bit like advertising for Tiangong Precision Instrument Company, but the experimental equipment they developed is so easy to use that I couldn't help but say a few more words.
However, it is easy to use, but the price is too expensive. For example, this small laboratory lithography machine sells for 150 million yuan per unit. From here, you can see how much money is spent on scientific research.
Although the number of equipment here is not very large, they are actually multi-functional instruments and equipment that can provide complete electronic and semiconductor experiments. The total equipment adds up to 1 billion yuan.
It can be said that my electronic semiconductor laboratory is the most advanced electronic semiconductor laboratory in the world. Even if their investment is larger than this, the advanced level of the equipment is definitely not as good as mine.
At this point, Zhao Yi was like a child showing off his toys, introducing in detail the specific conditions of each experimental instrument and equipment, including which experiments could be performed and so on. "
The main purpose of Zhao Yi's behavior is to help Tiangong Precision Instrument Company expand its influence, rather than just having a certain reputation in the country.
As for the laboratory equipment for takeout, it may not be as advanced as the ones introduced now, because these are on the national control list and cannot be exported even if they want to.
But even sub-level laboratory equipment is higher than similar equipment abroad, and the gap between laboratory research results and industrial production products is very large.
In addition to helping Tiangong Precision Instrument Company advertise, the other thing is to send a signal to scientific researchers around the world that if they want to use the most advanced experimental instruments and equipment, they still have to come to China.
Not only does it have more scientific research funds and scientific research environment, it also has top-notch scientific research instruments and equipment, which will give their research wings to take off and realize their dreams as soon as possible.
In fact, academics doing basic scientific research around the world have relatively few prejudices, they value scientific research itself, and they care far more about exploring nature than other messy things.
These academics who are really doing scientific research are what our country is striving to strive for. As long as we introduce enough basic scientific research talents, we can quickly make up for our shortcomings in this area.
As for practical technical talents, Zhao Yi is not particularly worried, because as my country's high-IQ generation grows up, there will be more and more talents in this area, and we already have a solid foundation in technology.
"I just took you to see the electronic semiconductor laboratory, and then we went to the biochemistry laboratory. The biochemistry laboratory is different from ordinary laboratories, and the safety measures inside are quite strict.
Therefore, before entering the biochemistry laboratory, we must carry out necessary disinfection and sterilization, so I paused the recording first and waited until this step was completed before recording inside.
Well, after going through some tedious procedures, we finally arrived at the biochemistry laboratory. Everyone was a little disappointed when we saw it. Except for the experimental equipment, it was deserted.
This is mainly because there are no experimental projects on biochemistry in my current research project, so I just cleaned it up, but don’t think it is so simple.
Please take a look at this experimental equipment. Does it look a bit like a microscope? In fact, it is not. This is the world's most advanced cryo-electron microscope, which is indispensable for studying cytology. The price of a single unit has reached more than 80 million yuan.
However, the total value of the equipment in the biochemistry experiment is not as high as that of the electronic semiconductor laboratory equipment, but the total value has reached 500 million yuan, not counting the various biochemical preparations used in the experiment.
Moreover, the safety level of the biological laboratory itself is very high, which leads to very high construction costs. Although my laboratory is small, the safety level has reached P5 level, and all biological experimental projects can be studied.
I know that the highest level now is the P4 laboratory, and the security level of my laboratory is even higher. As for why I do this, I won’t tell you here.
If I had to give a reason, it would be 'having money and being willful'. "
In fact, what he said was not true. It was just that the biochemistry experimental equipment he displayed was not of high value, because it was all conventional experimental equipment from the outside world, but it was just more advanced.
For example, the genetic technology he studies involves very advanced experimental equipment, some of which were even made by himself. Otherwise, how could he modify genes at will, or even create new creatures out of nothing.
It's just that these things are not easy to show to the outside world. Before shooting, these equipment were removed from the laboratory to make everything here look very normal.
Then Zhao Yi came to the physics laboratory with a camera. As usual, he introduced the instruments and equipment inside to the audience. However, there was a very powerful experimental instrument and equipment here. Zhao Yi explained it emphatically.
"Have you seen this equipment? There is only one in the world. It is in my laboratory. This equipment is called a microstructure imager. It is mainly used to observe molecular and even atomic structures.
We all know that in the past, when studying microstructure, we observed and drew conclusions through indirect experiments. However, my equipment can directly observe the molecular structure and atomic structure, and take pictures.
This plays an important role in microphysical research. I won’t explain the specific implementation principle here. Everyone knows that there is such an artifact, but you won’t understand it even if I tell you. "
This is true. This equipment was built by Zhao Yi himself. It is the only one in the world. Because the production is too difficult and involves a lot of new theoretical knowledge, it cannot be explained too much.
Although this equipment plays an important role in studying microstructure, it only stays at the atomic level. As for more microscopic particle structures, it is powerless.
If you want to observe more microscopic particles, you need to use a high-speed particle collider to blast the atoms into pieces. After collecting the data through various sensors, you can draw some conclusions through big data analysis.
Carrying out this kind of experiment is not something that can be accomplished in his small laboratory, so I won’t go into too much detail here.
In this way, Zhao Yi spent two hours touring the laboratory that could be displayed to the outside world. There was information deliberately disclosed to the outside world. In short, after recording, he asked the junior artificial intelligence to process it and then handed it over to Qian Qian. Released by Xun Technology Company.
After Qianxun Technology Company received the video given to them by their boss, they quickly started working. The first step was to have the editor manually review the content of the video to see if there was anything wrong with it.
Then the video clip was uploaded to the short video account specially prepared for Zhao Yi. After completion, a concocted news was immediately added to their news headlines, using very conspicuous colors and fonts.
As long as you log in to their Internet news platform, you will see this news. After clicking on the news, the following is a brief introduction, plus a short video link.
Since it is a short video platform, and the video he gave is very long, I helped edit it and divided it into several short videos, which were automatically played continuously.
After the news was published, it really attracted the attention of a large wave of Internet users. In just one hour after it went online, the global click rate reached hundreds of millions, and the number of video views was basically the same.
Such a big hot topic was naturally reported and cited by major media around the world immediately. ATV was also one of the fastest TV media to take action. They temporarily included this news in their news channel.
These short videos recorded by Zhao Yi have brought several sensational effects. The first one is the news title given by Qianxun Technology Company, which is also adapted from a sentence in the video content.
"You have no right to let me waste my time, but the media did it!" ”, that is, this shocking news headline, caused this news to occupy the entire Internet world in a short period of time, and then spread to the point where everyone knows it through traditional media.
If this sentence were said by ordinary people, it would only be scolded, but when it came from Zhao Yi's mouth, it actually made the media reporters feel proud.
For a scholar with extremely high academic achievements like Zhao Yi, time is very precious. This can be seen from the fact that he almost disappeared before. This incident actually blew him up, and a video was specially shot to clarify it.
Through the spread of the Internet and global traditional media, this sentence suddenly became a mantra for young people around the world, expressing disdain for something, but at the same time having to face it helplessly.
The second point is that the expensive high-end experimental instruments and equipment Zhao Yi showed in the video made ordinary viewers around the world truly feel why scientific experiments are a waste of money.
Many people used to think that scientific experiments were just about asking a group of researchers to study technology and solve problems. They were not clear about the huge cost involved in experiments.
Through this video, everyone knows that scientific experiments are such a costly activity. The equipment inside often costs tens of millions of yuan, and some even cost hundreds of millions of yuan.
There have been extensive discussions on the Internet and traditional media around these laboratory instruments and equipment, and some TV media have even invited relevant experts to introduce the experimental instruments and equipment inside.
With the interpretation of various experimental equipment inside, people around the world know how high-end and high-end the experimental equipment inside is. There are even some experimental equipment that these experts and scholars have never seen or even heard of. .
With so many advanced instruments and equipment, it seems that it is not surprising that Zhao Yi can achieve such great academic achievements at such a young age. This is the mentality of ordinary people.
For professionals, it was a different experience. Through this video, they realized that there are such versatile scholars in modern society, which opened their eyes.
In the context of today's increasingly subdivided scientific research, there are fewer and fewer generalists, and it can even be said that they are almost extinct. Unlike in the early days of scientific development, many big names covered a wide range of fields and seemed to know everything, such as Darwin.
In today's era of such prosperous scientific development, the scope of research is becoming wider and wider, and there are more and more subdivided fields. Many people can achieve something in one subdivided field throughout their lives, which is already a capital to be proud of.
The third point is about how much money Zhao Yi has. It is mentioned in the video that this is his private laboratory, which means that it is not invested by the state, but invested and established by himself.
According to statistics on the prices of the instruments and equipment introduced in the video, the total cost of these instruments and equipment alone has reached tens of billions of yuan, not to mention experimental consumables, which may cost even more.
In this era, hundreds of millions of dollars can make you move around the world's richest list. However, how someone as young as Zhao Yi can earn so much money has aroused the curiosity of many people.
The first point is that the money must not have been obtained through illegal means, otherwise the state would not ignore it. It only means that he earned the money through formal channels.
As for the formal channels, everyone can only guess. Zhao Yi has no obligation to tell them, but a relatively reliable guess is that the money may have been obtained through licensing of patented technology.
The development of domestic science and technology in recent years is indeed a bit extraordinary. Many technologies have gone from being backward to leading the world in just one or two years. Many people have to make connections in this regard.
Especially the electronic semiconductor laboratory introduced by Zhao Yi in the video, combined with the development history of my country's semiconductors, always gives people the feeling that there is an unusual connection, but neither Zhao Yi nor the domestic semiconductor giants have come forward to answer.
However, the impression of "scientific research is expensive and also very profitable" has been left in the minds of the general public. Especially for the people of our country, this is very important and is the best way to get rid of the current situation. (End of chapter)
