Rewrite the Technological Landscape

On November 12, 2001, a science and technology conference with the theme of the future of technological development was held in Yanjing.

This meeting was actually led by the Ministry of Science and Technology, but the Ministry of Science and Technology seems to be reducing its presence in this meeting, perhaps to allow more scientific research institutions, universities and enterprises to conduct more research at this meeting. Effective communication.

At the conference site, Meng Qian met many acquaintances again, including several old faces in the Internet industry. Although there seems to be a debate on whether the Internet is a technology, the country has always recognized the Internet as a technology industry anyway.

QQ has also won a bunch of technology awards.

In addition to these old faces, Meng Qian also met entrepreneurs such as Liu Chuanzhi from Lenovo, Qiu Bojun from Jinshan, and Liu Qingfeng from the University of Science and Technology. However, some entrepreneurs like Liu Qingfeng were not very famous at this time.

As the sponsor, the Ministry of Science and Technology first gave an opening speech.

The core of the speech was on talent cultivation, and the full text spent a lot of time mentioning the talent development needs and goals of the development of science and technology.

And this is in line with the current background of the times.

In 2019, many people realized the strength of China, but it seems that many Chinese people attribute the reason for their self-strength to money. When talking about why their motherland is strong, many people's first reaction seems to be big market, lots of money

Anyway, going around is money, but in the West, is their core reason for targeting Huaxia really because of money? Are they really afraid that Huaxia has money?

What they are more worried about is another matter, which has been precipitated since 2001, more precisely, since 1978.

As mentioned many times before, Huaxia began to lag behind in technology at the enterprise end in the 1980s, but it was also in the 1980s that the country began to lay out one thing.

From 1988 when science and technology was the primary productive force, to 1995 when science and technology was the primary production force, and then in 1999, an extremely important event happened. The National Science and Technology Innovation Conference set a new tone for the development of science and technology. And in this keynote, there is a profound sentence:

Further implement the national strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, and build a national knowledge innovation system.

Then, came the next critical time point. In 2001, Huaxia started the world's unprecedented training plan for natural science talents and engineering talents in colleges and universities.

As of 2019, in just 18 years, Huaxia has added more than 1,800 colleges and universities, and has trained more than 8 million talents in the field of natural science and engineering, accounting for 25% of the world. 5 million, which is 10 times that of the United States, and among the talents in the corresponding field in the United States, 70% are Asian faces, of which China and India account for 50%.

Why is the concept of science and engineering so big that we only have to talk about the fields of natural science and engineering?

Because engineering talents determine a country's industrial base level, and natural science talents determine a country's scientific research capabilities.

Industrial foundation plus scientific research, this is the technological future of the industrial age.

Before 2001, the number of talents in the field of natural sciences in China was not even a fraction of that in the United States. In just 18 years, China has created a talent miracle, and these talents are entering various fields of application.

Although they have not been able to fully shine in 2019, the United States can see clearly on this future issue.

So many people on the Internet wondered what the United States is afraid of in China. We are still behind him. What the United States is afraid of is not the current China. What the United States is afraid of is the future China, especially the legendary China in 2050 .

Of course, talents who can make the United States fear are looked down upon by many people in China. They are often regarded as low-end talents in China. After all, there are always some people who do not study hard and feel that all students in China do not study hard.

It doesn't matter, anyway, these "low-end talents" who are looked down upon have built bridges that can cut rivers, aircraft carriers that can sail long distances, and jade rabbits that can fly across the sky. The keyboard will never shake their achievements.

Moreover, the most outstanding feature of Huaxia's scientific research talents lies in their achievements at a young age. The chief architect of the third aircraft carrier is born in the 1980s, and the core R\u0026D team of Yutu has a group of people born in the 90s.

Back at the scene, Meng Qian could see that listening to such a speech at the moment, the people present hardly felt any emotion. Perhaps, no one would have imagined that Huaxia would have such a future.

So don't say that the West is afraid. Sometimes when people become awesome, they are even afraid.

After the leader had finished speaking, it was the Chinese Academy of Sciences' turn to give a speech, followed by Tsinghua University, Yanda University, and Liu Chuanzhi.

A group of bigwigs came to the stage one after another to share.

"What is Boss Meng remembering?" Zhang Shuxin, who was a little tired from listening, turned his head and saw Meng Qian writing furiously in his notebook.

"Write down the core of everyone's speech." Meng Qian responded while writing.

Zhang Shuxin couldn't help laughing, "The manuscripts are not necessarily written by them, what's the use of memorizing them."

"It doesn't matter whether the manuscript is written by the speaker or not. The important thing is that the manuscript can represent the organization behind it. At least, the scientific research results they say are more or less true." Meng Qian kept his eyes on the stage.

Zhang Shuxin chose not to speak anymore, but seeing Meng Qian's appearance, he couldn't help being a little more curious.

"This young man, what is his goal?"

After the speech session is over, there is communication. Basically, the bigwigs who gave the speech just now returned to the stage one after another, and then there will be some prepared topics for everyone to discuss. At the same time, people sitting in the audience can also participate Come in.

Afterwards, there will be free discussion time. Anyone can ask questions. If everyone thinks it is meaningful to discuss, they can talk a little more deeply.

However, Meng Qian did not participate in the discussion throughout the whole process. He was always listening to what everyone was concerned about as a bystander, trying to further understand the scientific research environment and technological environment of this era.

The last part of the meeting is the awarding ceremony.

Meng Qian, who has been sitting all this time, can finally move his body, because he won an award this year, although it is not a grand award, it is the Youth Science and Technology Innovation Award together with nine other people, and it is not the kind awarded by the highest level of the country. The ratio of the National Science and Technology Innovation Award is much lower in gold content.

However, among these ten people, Meng Qian was selected as the representative to briefly say a few words because of the current achievements of Dafeng Technology Innovation.

Standing alone on the stage, facing the bigwigs in China's technology circle, Meng Qian took a deep breath to relax himself, "Hi everyone, I'm Meng Qian, it's a great honor to be standing here at this time.

Recently I read a very popular novel, which describes the planet in 2020, with spaceships, intelligent robots, and aliens.

I am a person who likes to imagine the future, so I often wonder what China will look like in 2020.

Let me make a bold guess today that in China in 2020, there will definitely be a large number of people who love to gossip. "

Now everyone showed puzzled expressions.

Meng Qian paused and said, "Because it's 2020, the Chinese people will definitely be too full and free."

"Hahahahaha." Unevenly distributed laughter rang out at the scene, chatting leisurely, which is a common saying in this era.

"But think about it the other way around, if it really takes 19 years to make so many people who are still hungry too full, isn't this just the power of technology.

What kind of power can technology have?

Perhaps, it can easily change the lives of more than one billion people.

thank you all. "

With Meng Qian's resignation, more and more people in the audience began to recall these seemingly simple words he said.
