Technological power starts with upgrading lenses

Kang Chi's words made everyone present fall into deep thought.

Conducting research for future technologies…

This is a quite new and bold idea.

The application of cutting-edge technologies has always been accompanied by a long period of popularization.

After all, scientific research is inherently a business with extremely high returns and risks.

If you are still betting on a technology that has not yet been realized, conduct research on the application of this technology in advance...

Its return risk will definitely increase exponentially!

Therefore, the usual approach is to wait until a technology is stable and mature before relevant supporting research begins.

The time for the development, maturity, and promotion of these related technologies is the application period of the technology.

This is also what most researchers in applied research are doing now.

The time for technology application can range from a few years to dozens or even hundreds of years.

For example, Faraday discovered the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction in 1831 and used it to invent the first primitive generator. Later, Edison also invented a practical light bulb in 1879.

But it wasn't until the early 20th century that electric lights became common in ordinary households.

The same is true for internal combustion engines. Since French inventor Etienne Lenoir made the first practical internal combustion engine in 1860, it took nearly a hundred years for it to gradually become popular in Ouzhou, let alone other places.

Even now, cars are still a rarity in many countries.

It can be seen that the hysteresis of many common technological applications is much greater than people imagine.

But if, as Kang Chi said, we directly assume that these core technologies have been achieved and plan and research related industries in advance, we can definitely shorten the application period significantly.

To a certain extent, this is also the best way to first occupy the technological high ground and transform from a chaser to a leader.

It's just that all of this is based on the fact that those hard bones must be chewed off.

Otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Some professors subconsciously wanted to refute, but after seeing Kang Chi's confident demeanor on the podium and thinking of his murderous record, they

The words that had reached my throat were forced back...

Yes, there is such a powerful God of Death to help them clear the way, but they are still limited to whether they can help the God of Death share tasks and share the results of the battle, instead of thinking about how to occupy and consolidate the territory he has established...

The vision is too narrow.

No matter how powerful Kang Chi is, he has no clone skills. He can invent electric lights and generators, but he can't build a power plant and pull wires, right?

And as he said, the technology tree is constantly spreading and upgrading.

Compared with inventing a light bulb generator, building a power plant and pulling wires are actually technical tasks. Even technologies such as high-voltage transmission and transformers are no less valuable and difficult than inventing a light bulb.

Instead of blocking their road, Kang Chi opened a bigger window for them.

Outside the window, there is more beautiful and rich land waiting for them to cultivate.

Seeing that everyone had thoughtful expressions and no one raised any objections, Kang Chi knew that they had initially accepted his views and suggestions, so he continued:

"Next, we can enter the free-speaking part of this seminar. Everyone can use their imagination. Opportunities may lie in these wild ideas."

"We'll start with controllable nuclear fusion first. In fact, even ordinary people have been discussing this topic for a long time, but so far, no one seems to have actually taken action on these ideas."

"The main thing is that everyone subjectively believes that it has not been realized yet. Now I hope that everyone will treat it as if it has been realized today. Our electricity costs have been controlled at an extremely low level. What do you think is the most promising research direction?"

"Electric transportation!" A student immediately raised his hand and said, "All transportation, including large passenger aircraft, may become fully electric."

"I think electrolysis of hydrogen technology and then the development of hydrogen energy can directly skip the bottleneck of battery technology."

"What they are talking about is actually an area that is being researched vigorously. I am talking about a small track."

"Since energy is no longer an issue, what we should do most is to build a nuclear reactor that can synthesize specific materials, which can be used to synthesize scarce precious gold materials such as gold, silver, lutetium, and palladium."

"I have been thinking about three-dimensional farms for so long, but I don't seem to see any company actually researching this, such as how to convert electrical energy into the most suitable light source for the growth of animals and plants, thereby completely solving the food problem."

"In fact, food can also be synthesized artificially."

"But the taste is different, right?"

"Hmm...this needs to be studied."

"The speed of seawater desalination plants is still too slow. Otherwise, we should build a reactor to boil seawater and cool the steam to obtain fresh water resources. The floating steam can also solve the water level problem and flow directly inland after cooling."

"So the problem of seawater scaling needs to be solved."

"Calcium carbonate in seawater scale is a building material and chemical raw material, and magnesium hydroxide can be used as a flame retardant, adsorbent, etc. These by-products also have certain economic value. How to efficiently utilize this scale is also a topic worthy of study. ”

"..."

After some bold students began to speak first, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Even some relatively stable professors occasionally expressed their opinions due to the atmosphere.

From controlled nuclear fusion to efficient and cheap ground-to-air round-trip systems,

from biomedical technology to the era of space development,

everyone is constantly imagining the future, and at the same time discussing some practical technical difficulties and dilemmas from time to time.

The seminar lasted until 1 pm,

when everyone realized that their stomachs were growling with hunger, but everyone's faces were still filled with excitement and longing from the heart.

If you don't discuss it, you won't know. Once you discuss it, you will find that there are so many interesting topics worth studying,

and many topics still have high research value even if the core technology has not been broken through,

but before the core technology is broken through, their priority and benefits are not that high.

After Kang Chi left the National University of Defense Technology, Academician Bi and others immediately held a small internal seminar to discuss the signals released by Kang Chi.

"There are many people in the meeting today. Academician Kang obviously only mentioned a few things, but I think he has actually sent us a strong signal."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"His round-trip system will probably be broken through soon."

"That's obvious. Academician Bi's missile range extension project was killed by the booster he made. The booster has been completed, and it's only a matter of time before the entire system is completed."

"Ahem." Principal Yuan suddenly interrupted, "Well, today, Director Lu of the Ministry of Science and Technology revealed a piece of news to me."

"What news?"

"It seems that the higher-ups discussed the feasibility of orbital bombers and even space fortresses in a closed-door meeting..."

"!!!"

After hearing the news from Principal Yuan, the professors in the meeting were stunned.

Forget about the orbital vehicle,

even the space fortress has been proposed?

Shame on you,

I didn't expect that the vision of the upper echelons is more advanced than that of them who are engaged in research and development.

"In that case, we should really consider space attack and defense, and even the security of deep space enclaves..."

"Well, if missiles are launched from space, due to the extremely high initial speed and gravity, only a small amount of them are needed to change the trajectory to achieve global strikes..."

It was not until this time that Academician Bi finally understood why his project was stopped so quickly.

Compared to the research on missile range extension, how to improve existing missiles to make them more suitable for launch from space is the top priority.

I believe that at this time, some more confidential advanced research institutes are already studying it.

And university researchers like him who need to take into account the training of the next generation of talents for the country can only find some less difficult and lower confidentiality topics,

For example, the long-term storage observation experiment of different fuels in the space environment?

However, the people of this aerospace institute may have already been doing it.

Academician Bi pondered for a moment and soon came up with a general direction that suited him:

A small split missile that can launch ordinary bullets to attack multiple enemy satellites...

Summary and analysis meetings similar to the National University of Defense Technology are being held in many universities and research institutes.

Different from the slightly "empty" discussions at the daytime seminars, what they will conduct after the meeting is some serious research on the necessity and feasibility of technology.

Of course, these studies are limited to discussions. Whether they can really take action depends mainly on the attitude of the Ministry of Science and Technology.

So the pressure naturally came to the Ministry of Science and Technology...
