Great Power Technology

Before Ye Zhou ended the call with Chen Hao, he made a new request.

Send him the drawings of all the underground fortifications available in Xiong Er's territory, including those that Xiong Er currently has no actual control over.

Ye Zhou believes that with Rabbit's strength, this kind of information should be preserved. Even if there are no detailed drawings that can be used directly, he can obtain some fragmentary information faster than Ye Zhou trying to figure it out by himself. .

Chen Hao did not raise any questions about Ye Zhou's request. He just told him that this kind of information is difficult to find and not to have high hopes. Ye Zhou also expected this and briefly explained the main information he needed. Then hung up the phone.

He desperately needed rest now. The period of subconscious chaos at the beginning of the plot simulation had consumed far more energy than he imagined.

After returning to the room, Ye Zhouqiang replied to an email from the Liubi project team for the last time, and then fell on the bed and fell asleep.

On the other side, in a small red house, several invited industrial strategy analysts and scientific researchers were gathering in this small room to discuss the content on the screen.

"I personally think that among the three directions mentioned in this material, laser technology is the most mature. We have accumulated technology, and what we lack most now is a breakthrough in theoretical technology. Once this breakthrough is completed, the entire The industrial chain can quickly follow up and implement applications, which is the most cost-effective from the perspective of end-to-end effectiveness.”

“Laser has a wide range of applications, especially in the field of nuclear fusion. What we lack most is high-energy pulse laser technology. If this theoretical technology can be realized, we will take a big step towards controllable nuclear fusion. "

"In addition, the laser anti-missile system we are currently working on also highly relies on high-energy laser weapons, so overall, this technology can have a relatively smooth application transition from the short term to the long term, and it is also the least likely to fall into a technical trap. technology."

The speaker was a gray-haired old man. He was thin and had some difficulty speaking, but he always tried to maintain a steady speaking speed and clear enunciation.

After he finished speaking, everyone in the room nodded together, and one of the scholars wearing glasses raised his hand and spoke:

"I agree with Mr. Xu's opinion. Although I am engaged in genetic engineering, objectively speaking, if the results are only gene sequencing results, the effect on our clinical medical applications will still be limited in the short term."

"I estimate that it will take at least three years to move from theory to practice and from data to clinical practice, and within these three years we will consume a lot of resources - these resources cannot be reported in a timely manner."

"This is a very simple logic. Anticipation technology is not like other technologies. You have the technology and can cure patients, but the treatment process is still a process that consumes resources. After the treatment is completed, the patient cannot immediately become productive. .”

"This statement is rather inhumane, but it is indeed true."

The man in Chinese tunic suit sitting in the middle nodded slightly, and then asked:

"However, we currently have an urgent need for genetic technology, don't we?"

As soon as his words came out, the whole room fell silent.

Everyone knows what the rigid needs he is talking about are, but no one can give an accurate opinion in this regard.

After a long time, the white-haired old man spoke first:

"We do have urgent needs in genetic technology, especially in response to potential genetic weapons attacks, which is more urgent."

"But as Xiao Liu said, the process of genetic technology from theory to technical application is relatively long, and a lot of resources are invested. And if you want to build a so-called genetic defense line, the difficulty is unimaginable."

"I predict that within five years we won't be able to do what you want to do."

"So, instead of pursuing a fundamental solution to the problem in this period, it is better to resort to preemptive measures and counterattack through other means. At the same time, we constantly look for the right time to launch this project at the most critical time. .”

The old man's words are very clear. Now the enemy's genetic offensive is almost an open secret. It is like a dam with rats constantly drilling holes. We can choose to clean up rats and repair loopholes, or You can choose to directly replace this dam with an iron one.

But compared to the first two, the latter is more difficult and time-consuming. If it is started, it will be free to do other things. Therefore, before the situation reaches the critical point, his advice is not to rush Instead of replacing the dam, we should optimize the hole-filling strategy and extend the working time of the old dam as much as possible.

This is the most economical and safest strategy.

After listening to his explanation, the man in Chinese tunic suit nodded slightly, and then he continued to ask:

"What about reconstructing perception technology? Isn't there anyone discussing this? In your judgment, its priority is so low?"

"Compared to other theoretical research, this technology is not a low priority, but compared to the other two technologies we are comparing now, it is indeed not that important."

"This is a technology with unlimited potential, but also extremely limited in the short term. Before the first two technologies are applied, I do not recommend investing too many resources in this technology - to maintain a certain degree of stable operation. That’s good.”

The white-haired old man said decisively.

"Understood."

The man in Mao suit closed the book in his hand, took a sip of tea from the side, then breathed a long sigh of relief and said in a relaxed tone:

“We’ve almost discussed the technical topics, let’s talk about something off-topic.”

"I called you here urgently today just to see this material. But I not only want to hear your opinions on the arguments of this material, but I also want to hear your opinions on the material itself."

After hearing the man's words, several people in the room were stunned.

“What is an opinion on the material itself?”

"From the perspective of the arguments and logic of writing this material, give me a relatively objective evaluation of the writer of this material - frankly speaking, this evaluation will affect our subsequent appointment of this person."

After the man finished speaking, the conference room fell into a brief silence.

No one spoke rashly, because the key information of "influencing appointments" is really too important.

They all know in their hearts that the person who can submit this material to this man will definitely not be a small role. This person may even have achieved certain results in his position and will soon face an important assessment.

At this time, what one says may decide one's future for the rest of his life.

Seeing everyone's expressions, the man smiled and did not speak to urge them.

What he needs is the most objective evaluation from an uninformed person. This evaluation will tell him how far Ye Zhou, or Suiren, has grown.

Two minutes later, a relatively young scholar finally raised his hand.

After the man nodded, he said:

"I personally think that this material has actually reached a very high level - of course, I am not saying that it is perfect. It still has flaws in all aspects, such as incomplete arguments and a negative impact on the domestic industry. I didn’t know enough and even made some small mistakes.”

"However, on the whole, the author of this material has reached the top level in the country in terms of overall vision and strategic considerations."

"To be honest, I have been engaged in strategic industry analysis for nearly 20 years. If I were asked to write this report, I would definitely be able to write it better than him. However, my outline, or my draft, It must be inferior to him."

The man nodded without showing any obvious attitude, and then he turned his attention to the white-haired old man.

After noticing his gaze, the old man pondered for a moment and said:

"Logically speaking, I shouldn't make any comments on people who are about to be appointed or dismissed on this occasion, because my position is here, and you can't treat everything I say objectively. .”

"But since you want me to say it, I'll say it bluntly."

"From my point of view, on the whole, this material is not particularly well written, but in one aspect, he did a particularly good job."

"When I say extremely good, I mean that none of us sitting here can do better than him."

"That's how thoughtful he is in thinking about things."

"Let's take a simple example from the material."

“This material mentions that if we want to prioritize the application of technology in the laser field, we need to consider that some unscrupulous businesses will use the gimmick of laser technology replacement to engage in marginal industries to make money, occupy and consume the funds issued, thereby affecting core research and development. .”

"Here, he gave an example, which is the laser beauty industry."

"Frankly speaking, I didn't consider this, but we did suffer a loss."

"When nanotechnology first emerged, the industry chaos we faced was a typical case - including all the ridiculous scientific research directions after the emergence of quantum concepts. This is also true."

"So, based on this, I think that the author of this material does still have problems in various aspects, but from the perspective of rigor alone, it is enough for him to bear greater responsibility."

After listening to the old man's words, the man nodded slightly.

In fact, before asking this question, he did not presuppose the answer he wanted, but now, he did get the answer.

That's right, as a leader who is about to embark on the path of strategic scientific research, what Suiren needs is not only strategic vision and technological accumulation, but more importantly, what the old man calls meticulousness.

He can do things slowly, his perspective on problems can be less high, and his understanding of the situation can be less broad. These are all things that can be compensated for through official resources.

However, he must not make mistakes.

Because the mistakes he made, especially technical ones, were almost impossible for anyone to detect.

Thinking of this, the man breathed a sigh of relief and then waved for everyone to leave.

Later, he sat alone in the office and signed a document about Suiren.

From this day on, the word "Suiren" officially became part of the strategy.

Its importance has been elevated to the same level as an important domestic water conservancy project.
