At noon the next day, Lide took Felita to have a meal with Zhan Mei and Bai Luo.
The restaurant is located in the Zhenwei Building. Sha Yan, the owner of the restaurant, learned that Lide used Lingyun City as his main city, and immediately built a restaurant in this prime location. . Once Li De asked him where the millennium came from, Sha Yan scratched his head and said that there must be no history. This is looking forward to the future, hoping that his restaurant can be passed down from generation to generation, at least for a thousand years.
After Lide took care of their family's business several times, this place has naturally become the first choice for the dignitaries of Lingyun City to dine, and the business is very prosperous. But Sha Yan also understands that the box on the top of the building is always reserved for Li De, and it is specially used for Li De to entertain more distinguished guests.
In front of Zhan Mei and Bai Luo, Felita returned to her usual aloof appearance.
Zhan Mei is a very unrestrained northerner, eating meat and drinking is indispensable. Bai Luo looked like a handsome old man, although his body was already old, but he looked very young both in his demeanor and mentality. While eating vegetables, he chatted with Lide about his past. When he was young, he also walked from south to north, from white to black. As long as he was on the road, anyone who saw him had to respectfully call him Luo. Lord.
What Lide didn't expect was that Bai Luo was from Yunhai. After all, he has some relatives with Baihuang, but his lineage is a side branch, and his status in Yunhai is not high, and he himself has no idea of using this connection at all. When talking about the sea of clouds, Bai Luo said unabashedly:
"This matter came out of my mouth and into your ears. I hope you can keep it a secret from Baihuang. When I was young, I did some impulsive things. I turned my face against the previous Lord of the Sea of Clouds for a girl, and calculated in the business field. Even now, his own family is still on the blacklist. The method at that time is somewhat disgraceful to mention it now, so I won’t say it myself. If you are interested, just ask Bai Luo casually on the road, and you will naturally understand. "
After chatting for a while, Lide put down his chopsticks and said calmly:
"I called you to have dinner together this time, and I still have some things to tell you. He Yue will also tell you about the mission of the research institute and the future of the magic society. Before that, let me say a few words. Give you a vaccination in advance."
Zhan Mei put down her wine glass, and Bai Luo also lowered her hands, as if listening attentively. Felita sat upright early, waiting for Lied to speak.
Lied tapped the table twice with his fingers and said:
"Felita should already know about the history of the research institute and the magic club. I'll tell Zhan Mei and Bai Luo again. In the earliest days, there were no research institutes and magic clubs in Yuxi City. At that time, there was an education, An organization that integrates research and production is called the Northern Industrial Base."
"At that time, because of the small scale, there was basically no feeling of being separated from small workshops. Education was used to cultivate talents, talents engaged in research work, research and creation of new technologies acted on factories, bringing intuitive economic benefits. Part of the money entered into the account continued Invest in education and research, and another part is used to support the overall construction of Yuxi City, which is why we can quickly snowball."
"But now, the former northern industrial base is divided into three parts, namely Yuxi Academy, Research Institute and Industrial Park. In essence, not many changes have been made, but the division of labor has become clearer. Each department operates independently. There is no need to squeeze together like before. The northern industrial base was actually quite chaotic in the past, and the roar of factory production often directly disturbed schools and research departments. We used to have no choice, but now that we have the conditions, it is naturally better to separate. "
Zhan Mei nodded vigorously and said:
"It would be much better to be separated. I agree with that. Although I haven't been in contact for a long time, I can probably imagine that if these departments are always together, it is easy to go astray. For the overall benefit of the industrial base, the university must They will specialize in cultivating talents in the research direction, and the research department will also select the most profitable fields to explore. Although it is not impossible, but judging from your plan, it seems that you don’t want to stop there.”
Lide added a chopstick of steamed fish with black bean sauce, and replied:
"That's right. After becoming independent, Yuxi University can cultivate talents in various fields more freely, the research institute can do all kinds of research, and the industrial park no longer has to worry about the start time, and the efficiency will also improve. In the final analysis, Yuxi City's past The developed technology has brought us huge economic benefits, but the technology itself is not born just for money."
Li De glanced at Bai Luo, and continued:
"Everyone likes money. The most intuitive benefits brought by science and technology are economic benefits and military benefits. Pills, spirits, these can be developed at a very low cost through scientific methods, and then sold at high prices. Such technology It can directly promote economic development. In the same way, military research will produce new weapons, which will greatly help Yunyang's military growth."
"We have invested as much as 700,000 gold coins in the research institute every year. Since we have made such an investment, we must hope that it will bring returns. It's just that this return is not limited to the two fields of economy and military, but It penetrates into all walks of life. For example, ideology, culture, administration, medical care, etc. In a word, I hope to use the development of science and technology to promote the continuous progress of the whole society, so that Yunyang as a whole can continue to move forward, so that everyone Everyone can live a better life.”
Bai Luo let out a breath and said:
"The lord hopes that I will not just stick to creating wealth with technology, and not let the research institute become a tool for making money."
Lide said noncommittally:
"The improvement of technology will definitely bring a lot of new things. Let's take Lingwu as an example. Because of the appearance of compressed magic cannon, the iron wall defense line can be established, and the number of people who need to go to the border every year is greatly reduced. These people, some are migrant workers, some Farming is creating wealth, and Lingwu has gradually gained some vitality from the bitter cold place—"
Lid paused, and continued:
"Afterwards, you will realize this more and more intuitively. The development of science and technology will change many things. I hope that you who are closest to this inner circle can guide the public to change in a good direction. This is my wish to you The requirements are not only to manage the personnel changes of the research institute, but also not only to use the research institute to create wealth. You should find a way to make the public accept the change, find a way to promote our research results, and find a way to make every Yunyang The common people can get the dividends brought by the development of science and technology.”
Lide raised his head, the corner of his mouth was still smiling, but his eyes were a bit cold, and he said in a flat tone:
"I don't need a new monopoly class built on the basis of technology. Because at present, most of the technology here is developed with the help of my theories, and others do not have the qualifications; All new things are hidden away and become their own cash cow."
