Chapter 61: Large strainer

How can Zhang Zhai not understand, the care of Lao Liu.
Lao Liu wanted him to be able to do some basic scientific research and truly make a great contribution in the academic field.
Zhang Zhai understands the importance of basic science. It can be said that all scientific and technological breakthroughs are derived from basic science.
And if he wants to be a scientist, basic scientific research will be his best choice.
But Zhang Zhai, just want to be a scientist?
So, he understands that for now, doing applied research is more suitable for him.
First, the limitation of the system.
For now, the black technology provided by the system is obviously biased towards application.
Also, it is difficult to use basic scientific research to bring him popularity.
As the most advanced research in basic science research, how many people can understand even if they make any achievements?
Far less than applied research, the products brought by it are more intense to the human senses.
Second, breakthroughs in basic science are distant, and it is difficult to see hope.
Although Zhang Zhai often said, what is money and power? Looking at the universe, the whole earth is dregs. But if you do n’t have money, you have no right to look at the universe.
Compared with applied research, basic scientific research is too slow to produce results, and it is difficult to say what economic value it has.
For these reasons, Zhang Zhai all thought very clearly, so when Lao Liu put forward such a proposal, Zhang Zhai could only choose-politely refused.
I heard Zhang Zhai's euphemistic but unshakable rejection. Old Liu sighed, knowing that Zhang Zhai had made a decision, he did not persuade him.
He changed his stubble, changed his tone, and asked, "So, Zhang Zhai, what are your plans for next?"
Zhang Zhang Zhai smiled and heard what Liu said and understood that he was no longer tangled.
"Maybe, do energy-related research." Zhang Zhai thought for a moment and replied.
"Why?" Old Liu felt strange when he heard what Zhang Zhai said. He sat upright and leaned to Zhang Zhai, asking with a serious face, "Zhang Zhai, what do you think?"
Zhang Zhang Di Wenyan did not answer directly, but asked, "Lao Liu, what kind of state is the development of science and technology now?"
Lao Liu Wenyan took a serious look at Zhang Zhai, then fell into contemplation, without anxious to speak.
Zhang Zhai said to himself, "When you were a kid, the media often said that we are in an era of technological explosion.
随着 But as I got bigger and bigger, I was able to think independently, only to find out that this didn't seem to be the case.
In China, the development of science and technology seems to be changing with each passing day. Looking back more than ten years ago, it seems to be two things.
However, at the level of the entire human race, science and technology have actually stagnated for decades.
In terms of transportation, energy, power, etc., there have been no breakthroughs in decades.
For example, before, the famous C919 large passenger aircraft did not break through the speed of sound, but in fact a long time ago, we already had a passenger plane that broke through the speed of sound, Concorde, so c919 did not make much progress.
The reason why we feel that technology is exploding is because we have absorbed 300 years of technology in the West in more than ten years.
Since the 1970s, the technology that is still booming is actually only IT technology, and even IT technology has slowly hit the ceiling.
Not to mention other fields, the development of science has been stagnant for decades. "
When Lao Liu heard Zhang Zhai's words, he nodded earnestly. He did not deny Zhang Zhai's words. At the forefront of science and technology, he understood that Zhang Zhai's words were basically correct.
"It is true. Although it is not to say that development has been completely lost, it will be difficult to see a revolutionary breakthrough for a long time in the future." Old Liu was so sure.
"Well, old Liu, I think the biggest problem facing humanity now is how to leave the earth."
Zhang Zhai ’s words seemed a bit appalling,
But the old Liu did not interrupt Zhang Zhai's words and motioned him to continue.
"The reason is simple. The resources of the earth are limited. We have been using non-renewable resources, such as oil. This is a plant on the earth. It has evolved and stored for hundreds of millions of years. However, within the next four decades, Will run out of oil resources.
Once the energy consumption is exhausted, technology will completely stagnate, because the development of technology requires more and more, increasing energy.
Once energy is lost, human civilization may go backwards.
Even if we say that we find other alternative resources, such as now, the fiery flammable ice is only prolonging this time. "
"Then, have you considered solar energy? This may be a good road." Old Liu said.
"In terms of current technology, the energy density of solar energy is too low to claim to be the use of civilization now," Zhang Zhai said, shaking his head.
所以 "So I said that the biggest problem for human beings now is to fly out of the earth, otherwise once we miss this opportunity, human beings will be completely trapped in the earth." Zhang Zhai looked to the old Liu,
"Lao Liu, do you know the big filter theory?"
Old Liu nodded. "I know, presumably, some key technologies, revolutionary technologies are like filters. If you ca n’t break through, civilization will be like a mosquito. Never cross it until it perishes. "
"Lao Liu, what do you think is limiting the progress of science now?"
"Energy!" Old Liu Shensheng said.
And, he also understood, Zhang Zhai said the significance of this series of words.
"Zhang Zhai, I understand what you mean." Lao Liu sighed. "As you said, the biggest problem for human beings now is to leave the earth, otherwise resources will be exhausted ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But at the same time, human beings If you want to leave the earth, you must first make a breakthrough in energy. Otherwise, if humans want to leave the earth, they are simply crazy. "
"Yes, fossil energy can never lead humans to the universe. If human beings do n’t call this last chance and get out of the earth, human civilization may miss the last chance and gradually regress and die on the earth!" One word, one word said.
"Ah ... Zhang Zhai, if you want to leave the earth and not succumb to it, energy will definitely need revolution, but as you said, the development of energy has been stagnant for decades.
Do you think it is possible for you to break through this stagnation curse? Lao Liu's eyes stared at Zhang Zhai intently.
Zhang Zhang smiled, confident, and said vigorously: "I think, I can!"
"Good boy, have ambition!" Lao Liu sighed,
"The development of science and technology seems to be the efforts of countless people, but breakthroughs are often made only by that genius. From ancient times to the present, that's the case. Hope, your kid is also such a character!"
"Hey, Liu, then you wait, write the history book with the name of Zhang Zhai's friend." Zhang Zhai laughed.
"Huh?" Lao Liu's eyes widened and seemed to be a little angry, "Why, in my life, in the end, I became your foil!"
After saying this, Zhang Zhai had not waited to explain, and Lao Liu couldn't help but laugh first.
"Your boy, it's arrogant enough, but ... I like it! If you encounter anything later, tell me, depending on my age, I can still support you!"
"Hey hey, then thank you."
不过 "However, old Liu, I have something to do now, and I want you to help."
