Chapter 440: Skyfall?

ten o'clock in the morning.

Yenching University.

Inside Professor Li Hongwei's office.

Sitting on the sofa, drinking tea, Professor Li Hongwei took out a document and handed it to Zhao Heng.

"Professor, is this?"

Zhao Heng was a little puzzled. He came today mainly to deal with his studies and courses. He came to Professor Li Hongwei's side and just dropped in to see him.

With the care of Professor Li Hongwei, on the other hand, Zhao Heng has indeed produced scientific research results that far exceed the level of graduate students, and even the level of doctoral students. Therefore, Zhao Heng's continuous master's and doctoral studies are still very different from others.

Medicine is different from other disciplines. If you want to get a doctorate, you still have to go through this process at least.

Of course, if Zhao Heng independently produced results that could be published in "Nature" or "Cell", no matter which university in the world he is in, he would definitely be awarded a doctorate or even a professorship immediately.

The previous achievements were developed by Zhao Heng and Professor Li Hongwei. Even if he published a paper, he was only the second author.

To be honest, it is very rare for young people to have such support as Professor Li Hongwei.

Otherwise, judging from the actual situation of the current scientific research community, it is basically impossible for Zhao Heng to be a second author.

"You look first."

Professor Li Hongwei smiled kindly, looked at Zhao Heng and said.

For now, Zhao Heng is the most talented scientific researcher he has ever seen. It can be said that there will never be such a talented young man in the future.

After all, at this age, he can keep up with his scientific research ideas, and then he is on par with him in scientific research and development. In the current era where cutting-edge scientific research has been comprehensively refined and deepened, such young people can be said to be very few. .

Therefore, Professor Li Hongwei spared no effort in training and supporting Zhao Heng.

"Ah."

Zhao Heng nodded, took the document and read it carefully. After a while, Zhao Heng put down the document.

"Professor, isn't this a little too much?"

Zhao Heng looked at Professor Li Hongwei and said in surprise.

"You also participated in the whole process of research and development of siRNA colloidal bundles. It is no problem for you to get half of the patent royalties, and you played a key role."

Li Hongwei smiled in disbelief and said.

Obviously, he valued Zhao Heng more. As for the tens of millions of siRNA colloidal beam patent royalties every year, he really didn't care too much. If so, at least hundreds of millions.

A boss of his level has no pursuit of money at all. After all, in terms of life, there is nothing to worry about. Salary and bonus are just pocket money.

Not to mention the patents you hold in your hands, you can earn a lot of income every year.

Li Hongwei pays more attention to the inheritance of scientific research. At present, scientific research is basically out of stock in China, especially in the field of biomedicine.

"This document has come into effect, and the patent fee will be credited into your account every quarter in the future. I am no longer young. I know that you young people have a lot of ideas. Go ahead and do it."

Li Hongwei said with a sigh, although he is only in his early fifties, he is not too old for a scientist.

But his family knows his own affairs, and Li Hongwei knows that for the rest of his life, at most, he will strengthen and deepen the already developed nanotherapy and stem cell cultivation. If it takes decades to develop new fields, he no longer has the spare energy up.

Therefore, Zhao Heng's scientific research and development ability, as well as his age, were all seen by Li Hongwei.

It can be said that in Li Hongwei's eyes, Zhao Heng is the hope for the future of domestic biomedicine.

Although in the eyes of many people, Li Hongwei valued Zhao Heng and treated him beyond standard, which made many people quite critical.

But Li Hongwei knew that, at least in the field of biomedicine, if he continued to stick to the old rules and stick to the old rules of seniority, then there was really no hope at all.

Now in the field of scientific research, especially in the field of biomedical research, due to unspeakable reasons, foreign countries have surpassed too much. If young people and successors are not trained, it will not be a question of whether they can catch up or not.

"Thank you Professor."

Hearing Li Hongwei's words, Zhao Heng was a little moved. Of course, there are some problems in the domestic scientific research field. For example, some people ridiculed that the domestic scientific research is the kind where Hawking has to stand up and toast when he comes.

But foreign countries are not much better. For example, the biggest scam in the history of science is also the biggest dark history of the Nobel Prize. Karma took the brains of 20 people and turned 30 people into idiots.

If it is said that this happened in the last century, then in recent years, there have been a large number of fakes about mammalian stem cell heart regeneration by relevant fatal experts in the United States. The time span is nearly 20 years. Hundreds of fake articles and patents have been fabricated before and after, and billions of dollars have been defrauded. Seriously affected the normal development of related academic, huge loss of funds and time.

Therefore, this matter has both at home and abroad, and we cannot just focus on domestic issues.

Many people think that foreign scientific researchers have high status, good benefits, and a relaxed working environment. This is just propaganda.

In fact, there is a very good example, which is the popular American drama "The Big Bang Theory".

A researcher at school in California can only live in a shared apartment, finding a beautiful restaurant waiter to be his girlfriend is regarded as high-profile, and he even has to accompany a rich woman for research funding, and there are many other things.

"Xiao Zhao, many people now think that the country does not pay much attention to scientific research, and young people feel somewhat underappreciated. In fact, this is a wrong impression."

Professor Li Hongwei sighed again.

Regarding the fact that young people always feel that their talents are underappreciated, in fact, Professor Li Hongwei has a different view.

Many young people today feel that they are more or less unappreciated for their talents, and more people feel that their own platform has delayed their development, but in fact, when they really change platforms and can show their abilities, they immediately give up.

They all work in the same unit and have been together for so many years. How can there be so many underappreciated talents? They are all ordinary people, and they have not seen any unique insights and profound ideas in their work. The difference is that some people know that they are ordinary people, not geniuses.

In the field of scientific research, it is difficult to admit that you are mediocre. In contrast, it is easier to blame others.

To be honest, scientific research is really difficult.

There are three unalterable facts about scientific research.

For the first time, 90% of scientific research and scientific research personnel have not made any achievements in their entire lives, and the remaining 9% have only made a small achievement, but to find out who is the 1%, and who else does not know Where 1% of the roads are paved, the other 99% of people are required to pave the roads and be the denominator.

Secondly, scientific research will inevitably lead to a school of learning, because today, regardless of whether the natural sciences or the humanities and social sciences have developed to such an extent, most of the work done by researchers can only be understood by people in a small circle. If you can't understand what this is doing at all, then it will definitely form a small community of authorities in the discipline and form a school.Do you dare to imagine the scene where the Natural Science Foundation handed over the leadership evaluation or even the national draft to a few in-service masters and doctoral graduates of certain horse academies?

Furthermore, scientific research requires a lot of money, and the investment in science and engineering research is extremely astonishing. It is destined that only countries that are not short of money can make breakthroughs in the field of science and engineering. This is one of the major reasons for China's natural science achievements in recent years: Only money can buy enough high-precision instruments to support/poach the top team.Schools that are short of money are gradually falling behind, while schools that are not short of money are developing well.

These three points are the same all over the world. If you want to do scientific research, you will have these characteristics. It is a normal phenomenon. What you need to do is to consciously control the adverse effects, and promptly and decisively crack down on the serious problems.

"If you really want to be able to make achievements, or if you are a real genius, the radiance of such a person cannot be concealed by anyone or anything. Xiao Zhao, you must believe this."

After a pause, Professor Li Hongwei said again earnestly.

These words were his great expectations for Zhao Heng.

"I see, Professor."

Zhao Heng nodded. Professor Li Hongwei's words can be said to be heart-to-heart.

"Xiao Zhao, to a certain extent, biomedicine is the most important subject for human beings. But you also know that in terms of funding and attention, biomedicine is far from reaching the level it should be. When we engage in biomedicine, we should not be too rigid in our eyes.”

Professor Li Hongwei said again.

What he said has practical significance. After all, for a country, researching the latest generation of fighter jets, missiles, or aerospace technology must receive more funding and attention than researching a certain disease. This is something that cannot be changed.

"If all the funds and investment used to study how to kill humans were used to study biomedicine and agriculture, the average life span of humans may now exceed 100 years."

Hearing this, Zhao Heng also said half-jokingly.

This may not be a joke, but the fact is that this is the last thing humans can do, although it is the ultimate ideal.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to see this goal in my lifetime, but it may be a little hopeful in your generation."

Li Hongwei smiled very kindly and said.

Zhao Heng chatted with Professor Li Hongwei for a while, and left the office. Zhao Heng had nothing special today. After going to the school's Academic Affairs Office to deal with some academic and course matters, Zhao Heng rarely had this leisure, so he went to Yanjing Wandering around the university campus.

To be honest, Yenching University used to be the university that Zhao Heng wanted to go to the most, and Zhao Heng's college entrance examination results were also very good, but because of the territory of the college entrance examination, Zhao Heng failed to get into Yenching University.

I didn't expect to be able to study in Yenching University now, which can be regarded as an alternative dream come true. After all, it is the highest-level university in China, and it is the ultimate dream of all students!

So, how difficult is it to get into Yenching University?

Probably so.

If you are a high school student, and you travel around a provincial capital in a car, and you pass countless high schools in the fourth- and fifth-tier small towns, you must have the confidence to say [anyone from this school can just pull out one, I dare say I am The grades are definitely better than him, and the indicators in all aspects are definitely higher than any student in this school]

Because many schools have not produced a student who can go to a top5 university for more than ten years.

Passing by the provincial capital and the city and provincial key points of the first- and second-tier cities, you must have the confidence to say [Pull out a random person from the Rocket Class, Hongzhi Class, Qingbei Class, Zero Class, Small Class, and Competition Class, and you can at least hit it off with them Tie]

Zhao Heng's high school English teacher once told him that the English vocabulary of the province's number one scholar in science is [-]. What level is [-]?
The English major level [-] requires [-] words.

Therefore, in terms of learning, there are too many geniuses in this world.

But in the end, there are very few positions on the pyramid.

Of course, when it’s not difficult, you can be an actor, even don’t even know HowNet, and then you can be a Ph.D.

At the most difficult time, you have already been promoted to the university of your dreams, but you were dismissed because of your poor family.

Thinking of this, Zhao Heng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although he is still young in terms of age, but in terms of achievements and social status, he is definitely comparable to the top group of people in the previous generation.

In those years without a system, he also experienced the hardships of contemporary young people.

How difficult is it for contemporary young people?

Not to mention success, just surviving is already trying my best.

In fact, from a material point of view, the present is the best period in thousands of years of history, but why do young people today feel so painful.

Modern society is tending to form a system in which you and I must take the initiative to become tool people (giving up creativity) and accept control (giving up freedom) in order to be accepted by the group society, otherwise they will not be understood and then isolated .

The system forces you to give up some parts of your humanity, how can you not feel pain?

However, according to MKS, work should be joyful, and the essence of work is to meet the needs of oneself through a series of processes of perception, experience, analysis, thinking of solutions, and real-time transformation of the surrounding environment.

For example, you created a little poem, shared it with your friends and received praise, are you happy or not?
Do you ever get the urge to share in the excitement of having repaired an appliance yourself to make it look like new again?

Therefore, working and creating value should be an extension of human nature and a basic human need.

But in reality, migrant workers often feel like animals or robots—this can be seen from the increasing popularity of self-deprecating stalks such as mule horse people and tool people.

When did you feel like a human being?
when not working.

Why are some migrant workers reluctant to go to sleep even though they are exhausted?
Swiping the phone, lying in a daze. . .Even if such behavior is meaningless, it is enough to make him nostalgic, why?
Because it is only when he is not working that he can take back control of his body and feel like a human being.

We say that this kind of human nature is suppressed and thus distorted into something other than human, which is called alienation.

In modern society, people can often feel the pain caused by alienation, but they don't know how it happened, because people participate in it voluntarily, and they don't see the subject that puts pressure on them.

This phenomenon is even more pronounced among migrant workers.

To put it simply, as a worker, you and your boss have conflicting interests. If you want income growth and job stability, you must pursue irreplaceability, but what the boss pursues is to reduce the complexity of manual work and reduce the cost of employing people.

To sum it up in one sentence [You don’t do it, some people do it]

You say you are very capable, and you are amazingly talented, then the boss will definitely be able to find someone with a lower cost than you.

Therefore, everything eventually becomes a competition between tool workers to compete with each other for workload and whose cost is lower. Isn't this involution?

There was once a popular article called "Takeaway Rider Trapped in the Algorithm" - the ultimate goal of the algorithm is to squeeze the rider's physical strength to the limit and reduce the cost to the limit.

The most extensive algorithm, and also this logic, will eventually reduce the wages of workers to the point where they can only maintain the reproduction of labor.

In other words, the money you earn at work is only enough for you to recover your strength and continue to work the next day.

It's like a battery, charged to be discharged until it gets old and then discarded and replaced.

You work part-time today, so that you can continue to work tomorrow, so what is the significance of your part-time job?
The reason why people are human lies in their needs. In addition to the instinct of survival, there are also emotional needs and value realization.

But many bosses don't care about this, they just want to batteryize people.
