Chapter 833: Academy of Sciences and Academy of Engineering (I)

After the award ceremony, Wang Guorui let the foreign award recipients leave, and then let the Chinese award recipients and the Japanese Tomitaro Makino who had just expressed his willingness to join China stay here. ↑, and then the scene suddenly became deserted, because the dozen or so people who received the awards just now were all foreigners, and only five of them really belonged to the Chinese. If fifteen people left, the rest would be deserted too. not enough. When Wang Guorui saw these people, he also started to ask questions.

"How do you feel? The Tengfei Award that I created actually allowed foreigners to occupy 15 places. How do you feel?" Wang Guorui asked.

Huang Feihong, Fu Tiandi, Qu Huanzhang and others also bowed their heads on their own initiative, because this time the Soaring Award is an award established by China, but it was given to so many foreigners, and most of these foreigners took the bonus After that, most of them will not come to feed Wang Guorui. It means that these bonuses are not floating in their hearts at all, so the money can only be regarded as the bone of gold, attracting those middle-level talents to come here. But now they all felt a sense of shame, after all, China gave so many awards to foreigners, which made them feel ashamed.

Although Wang Guorui said that there is no distinction between countries and beliefs, but in fact, who can really make no distinction at all? And the prize money of the Take-off Award comes from Wang Guorui's industrial profits, so most people think it is best to give it to the Chinese. At least don't let it go outside, at least it's rotten in the pot for your own people. But now being eaten by others, they all feel quite depressed. No one would feel comfortable giving such a large amount of wealth to outsiders for nothing.

"What is the reason for this? Here, besides blaming Manqing, we actually have our own reasons. Science has indeed been neglected since ancient times, and it has been the same in all dynasties. This cannot be blamed on Manqing alone. The interests of scientists are not guaranteed, and no one is interested in researching science. This is the real reason why they are unwilling to study science enthusiastically. So I posthumously confer titles on those who have made certain achievements in history, which is also a right They are a kind of commendation. However, the people in the past have passed, and we still have to look forward. Therefore, I plan to set up an organization to manage scientific experts, and then make up those scientific experts. Then manage by ourselves. It turns out The Hanlin Academy has also been transformed into the Academy of Social Sciences. Since the Academy of Social Sciences has a place for research, why can't we also set up an institution specifically for this science, let those scientists form an association themselves, so that they can Manage yourself!" Wang Guorui said.

But Huang Feihong asked: "Isn't it managed by the science and technology department now? Why should it be set up separately?"

"Technology department? Hmph, bureaucrats!" Wang Guorui snorted.

Wang Guorui naturally knew the situation of those science and technology departments. In the final analysis, those science and technology departments were actually some bureaucrats. Let them manage the scientists. What would happen to those scientists with "simple" personalities? Wang Guorui has also heard of many scientific and academic frauds in later generations. Some professors even fought for a position, even for an official position, even if it was only a position with little real power.

What is the reason that those who should be mainly engaged in academic research are so keen on being an official instead of doing research? In fact, in the final analysis, it is because scientists are managed in a bureaucratic way, which will definitely make scientists bureaucratized. Those scientists have their own ideas, and maybe some people find that they don't make much profit in terms of speaking, but those who sit in official positions have no achievements, but they can yell at them. No knowledge but ride **** on their heads. And those who are uneducated have more resources and higher income than those who have real talents. Under such circumstances, some scientists will definitely not be reconciled.

Once those scientists are not reconciled, they will also be involved in these competitions for official positions. Once they get involved in the struggle of these bureaucrats and become bureaucrats or quasi-bureaucrats themselves, how much energy do they have for scientific research? The bureaucratic activities they are busy with receiving and sending are far more than the time they spend on scientific research.

Also, the other kind may be really out of public interest. The reason why they want to compete for those offices is not because they like being an official and want to hold power. It is because those who have all kinds of economic resources and research resources are in the hands of those officials, and then they all count on being officials for better research. In particular, their research knowledge results cannot be effectively respected by others, so they will definitely think that they have suffered a disadvantage, so they must want to pass the official position. Then gain the respect of others and master more resources to prepare for your own research.

But how sad this is, how ridiculous it is to force scientists to become bureaucrats. Wang Guorui firmly believes that a good system can make bad people dare not do bad things, but a bad system can force good people to become bad people. Scientists and bureaucrats are completely unrelated things, and their thinking is completely different. To manage these scientists with the method of managing bureaucrats, wouldn’t this force those scientists to become bureaucrats? If scientists are made into bureaucrats, can they still study science seriously?

"I think bureaucrats and scientists are not the same kind of people, and they should not be confused. In the future, those science and technology departments will be responsible for science and technology development policies, popularize science and technology education, review scientific research projects and funding, and provide platforms for foreign science and technology exchanges on behalf of the government. That's fine. As for the specific research, don't interfere. The Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering should let them manage themselves, and don't let them be ruined by those bureaucrats. The science and technology department is only responsible for the policy of technological development and will not continue to be responsible Manage these researchers."

"Of course, absolute freedom is impossible. I just provide them with a place where relative research will not be disturbed. It does not mean that they can study whatever they want. It must also be in step with the country's development strategy. Therefore, the approval power for research funds still lies with the science and technology department. Different science and technology departments have different approval powers, and this also depends on the local situation. So scientists don’t want to research anything, and we will all take advantage of this. Of course, If you have won the Soaring Award, then we can give additional consideration, but if you have not won the Soaring Award, then don’t talk about the privilege with me. The Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering still have to accept certain supervision, but supervision The power lies in the highest level of the cabinet and in my hands, not in those science and technology departments. Of course, this is only the highest academy of sciences and engineering. Institutional oversight to ensure that there will not be too much interference."

According to Wang Guorui's plan, the science and technology department will only be responsible for science and technology policy and provide policy support for scientific research of various enterprises and units, popularize the level of science and technology, and be responsible for the management of private patent applications. They are only responsible for policy matters, and cannot intervene in the specific scientific research process. Avoid too much contact between those bureaucrats and scientists, causing scientists to be influenced by those bureaucrats, and all of them become bureaucrats, which will be troublesome.

Of course, those scientists can't just get funding for whatever they want to research, and these specific research funds are still managed by those science and technology departments. These scientific research funds are managed by the science and technology department, and then those scientific research projects must be reviewed and approved.

Because in fact, in many cases, what projects scientists research is also in line with the national development strategy. If the country needs something, it is natural that funds should be invested there, not in some other places. At present, what China needs is industry, to study basic industries, not to study basic physics. At present, China is still relatively poor~www.readwn.com~The industrial foundation is too poor, and it must be used in important places instead of investing that money in a bottomless pit.

Wang Guorui knows that many physics experimental instruments also cost a lot of money, but currently China simply does not have the conditions to obtain them. What high-energy physics, it is impossible to just spend money on research. Those high-energy physics are equipped with a set of experimental equipment, so Wang Guorui will also go bankrupt. Although Wang Guorui is currently one of the richest people in the world, if his little money is invested in high-energy physics research, he may not even see a splash in the end. As the main force of scientific research, it still needs the support of the whole people in the end. Relying on the support of the whole people's funds and resources, even if Wang Guorui alone has more money, it seems like nothing! Therefore, this review is still necessary. The most important thing is to invest the current limited funds in the most critical places.

As for now, the most important thing is to restore people's livelihood and improve industrial capacity, rather than to consider what to study basic physics. The review funds still have to be handed over to the government. Otherwise, if those academicians want to study whatever they like, they will have to empty the country's treasury without making a fuss!

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Academy of Sciences and the Imperial Academy of Engineering, how do they manage internally?" Huang Feihong continued to ask. (to be continued.) u
