Chapter 289: Education and Scientific Theory Support

Just as the news of the Room-Temperature Superconductor and Controlled Nuclear Fusion shocked the globe.

Tianqi Group successively released several new chips, as well as lithography machines with more advanced processes.

However, these messages were drowned out by the frantic discussions on the internet, and not many people paid attention; only industry insiders noticed the leapfrog performance improvements within them.

Subsequently, Tianqi Group held a press conference to announce that the maglev train project plan had achieved a breakthrough, and officially announced that they were accepting orders from all over the world, causing another global sensation.

By this time, Su Xin no longer paid attention to these reports and had returned to his own laboratory.

During this period, although he had diverted his energy to provide technical guidance on the maglev train and Controlled Nuclear Fusion projects, he spent more time focusing on the research of the Tianlong Cell.

Other projects with lower technical content, as well as more tedious management and operational affairs, were left entirely to Tianqi Group.

This was the benefit of having one's own power.

There were people to help him earn money, people to help him expand business everywhere, and people to help him research and develop technology.

He only needed to focus on what he wanted to do.

In these three months, Su Xin had repeatedly activated the Ten Thousand Times God Speed state for long periods to contemplate, and had also initially established a large model of the Tianlong Cell in the supercomputer to assist in R&D, which greatly improved his research efficiency.

However, alien cells were ultimately quite different from human cells; without a sufficient theoretical foundation, even Su Xin could not successfully strengthen the Tianlong Cell in a short time.

The research progress had temporarily fallen into a standstill.

Su Xin was not discouraged, however.

Seeing that it was already noon, Su Xin changed out of his protective suit, picked up his personal items, and headed to the cafeteria on the second floor to eat.

In the cafeteria on the second floor of the laboratory building, security personnel and researchers all dined here, but the meal times were staggered, so it did not appear too crowded during lunch.

Su Xin got a meal, greeted a few people he brushed past, and sat alone at a seat on the side to eat quietly.

Everyone was long accustomed to Su Xin's presence, so they did not feel uncomfortable because of his arrival, and each chatted while eating.

Su Xin habitually placed his phone in front of him, watching the news while eating.

His phone was the highest-end series developed and produced by Longwei Company, priced at over fifty thousand credit coins, with all configurations being top-tier; it possessed the most advanced eye-tracking technology, capable of accurately detecting eyeball movement and capturing changes and shifts in the pupil and iris to control the phone.

Even without using hands or voice, one could simply use their line of sight to control the phone, managing the sliding and page-turning of the phone interface.

At this moment, it had been nearly a month since the news of the Room-Temperature Superconductor and Controlled Nuclear Fusion was released; although these products had not yet officially entered the market, their influence was already everywhere.

On the internet, these two topics maintained explosive popularity even now.

The names of the two inventors, Wan Zhiyu and Chang Minjuan, were mentioned countless times by countless people, and some even touted the two of them as the top scientists of the contemporary era, second only to Su Xin.

A small handful of people even claimed that the scientific contributions of Wan Zhiyu and Chang Minjuan had already surpassed Su Xin, ranking as the best of the contemporary era.

Although Su Xin had no small amount of credit in the Controlled Nuclear Fusion project, this series of breakthroughs could, to some extent, be considered as having been brought about by the Room-Temperature Superconductor.

These remarks were refuted by many people.

Su Xin, however, did not pay much attention to it.

He knew that this might be some forces secretly sowing discord, attempting to provoke his arrogance.

After all, the technical strength of Tianke Academy had long reached a global lead, and it was normal for it to cause wariness among various countries and major enterprises.

With Su Xin and Tianke Academy combined, all forces in the world had no chance of catching up.

Once the discord was successful, leading Su Xin to dislike the existence of Tianke Academy and even abolish this department that was stealing his spotlight, various countries and major enterprises would at least have a chance to catch up with the development pace of Tianqi Group in certain fields.

Although this hope was not great, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, they were willing to try.

For the past two years, they had lived too desperately under the shadow of Tianqi Group, completely unable to see any hope of catching up, let alone surpassing it.

Even though Su Xin had not released any commercial products to the public for so long, Tianqi Group still swept across every technological field in the world, invincible.

This was precisely because of the existence of Tianke Academy.

Su Xin also knew this, so not only did he not feel unconvinced by these remarks, but he felt very gratified—

These were all talents he had cultivated.

"This shows that the Tianke Academy Plan is very successful; perhaps I can consider extending the Tianke Academy Plan further to cultivate more talent."

A thought suddenly flashed through Su Xin's mind.

The development of Tianqi Group over these two years had long verified the success of Tianke Academy.

The two scientists, Wan Zhiyu and Chang Minjuan, who developed the Room-Temperature Superconductor, made Su Xin feel even more that cultivating more talent definitely had many benefits.

In case someone like the two of them had a burst of luck and suddenly developed some incredible technology or published some wild theories, it could all be helpful to Su Xin.

Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang.

As long as there were enough talents, there would always be ideas that made Su Xin's eyes light up, and they might even bring inspiration to Su Xin to achieve breakthroughs.

"One Tianke Academy is far from enough."

"Tianke Academy is a place for researching technology, and it is full of talents in scientific research."

"And besides R&D, scientific theory is also particularly important for the development of science."

"I must cultivate more talent, let science have better soil for development, let talents have better treatment, and become the object of envy for the whole population."

"If Tianke Academy is selecting the tall from the short, then when ordinary scientists all possess the level of the original Nobel Prize winners, how powerful will the Scholars of Tianke Academy be? And how fast will scientific development be?"

Su Xin's eyes gradually brightened.

All his knowledge was learned from various professional books; the knowledge level of those book creators was far inferior to Su Xin's, but they were still of great help to him.

Because Su Xin could see the train of thought of every creator from various books, which could broaden his horizons and increase his inspiration.

No matter how high his wisdom was, he could not conjure knowledge out of thin air; he needed to absorb the knowledge of others and innovate to possess a knowledge level stronger than everyone else.

And if everyone's knowledge level were to be greatly improved and various theoretical knowledge continued to emerge, Su Xin's level would also be greatly improved.

"Encourage scientific education."

"Cultivate talent across the whole society."

"Further promote scientific progress."

Various thoughts flashed through Su Xin's mind.

He simply put down his bowl and chopsticks, returned to his office, recorded his thoughts one by one, and began to think about the various details of the plan.

"Scientific cultivation must start from childhood."

"The first step is to promote basic education worldwide, cultivate children's interest in science, and set up incentive policies for gifted students."

"We could establish a Blue Star Education Alliance to forcibly promote basic education in every country..."

Thinking of this, Su Xin shook his head.

"Forget it, now is not the time. The cultural environment in some places is simply too backward; it is impossible to promote universal education in a short time. It is better to focus on the educational environment of Long Country first."

"For the first stage of compulsory education, the focus should be on cultivating scientific interest and environment."

"Exam-oriented education needs to be adjusted..."

Su Xin frowned and began to ponder the current educational environment of Long Country.

He himself was a typical product of exam-oriented education; he had focused on studying since he was young, had basically no hobbies, and possessed no special skills.

If he hadn't awakened his Godspeed Ability, his normal development path would have been to get into a good university, then pursue a master's and doctoral degree, enter society, and find a job at a large enterprise.

His studies were all just to obtain higher scores, to get into a better university, to obtain a higher salary after graduation, and to live a better life in the future.

It couldn't be called right or wrong.

Effort is all for the sake of a better future.

This is normal.

But he had never truly been interested in learning before, let alone scientific research.

In many cases, interest is the best teacher, and it is often the greatest driving force for continuing on the path of science.

Furthermore, science requires imagination.

Therefore, it is necessary to maintain students' curiosity and desire for exploration, as well as all kinds of wild ideas.

If one rigidly ranks people by scores, it will stifle everyone's creativity and imagination.

However, if one adds performance scores or flexible assessment items to exams, it leaves a lot of room for manipulation and will inevitably breed many unknown shady dealings.

Especially for important exams like the college entrance examination.

The impact on the future is too great; no matter how strict the review and punishment systems are set, there will always be people who take risks and use underhanded methods to manipulate scores.

"Interest cultivation..."

"Examination system..."

Su Xin pondered for a moment.

Having no good plan for the time being, he put this issue aside, preparing to find time to make suggestions to Hao Zude and find some top education experts to discuss specific policies together.

The issue of basic education involves too wide a scope; even Su Xin could not rashly propose adjustments and would still need official cooperation.

"Then, let's consider the second step: higher education and support for scientific theory."

"This step is much simpler."

Su Xin continued to type text into the computer.

"In terms of higher education, we can set up a high-amount scholarship for all colleges and universities nationwide to incentivize those top students, try to ensure they have no worries about their studies and lives, and also incentivize others to focus on learning and growth."

"Then set up various scientific competitions, using high rewards to attract those gifted students to participate."

"In addition, issue rewards to authors of excellent papers; whether they are students or talents in society, as long as they publish valuable papers, they will be rewarded."

"With the Tianwei Butler, a powerful Artificial Intelligence program, and the support of the Supercomputer, we can fully automate plagiarism checks and accurately filter out fluff papers, leaving only true quality work. Then, we can invite some senior professors and the group's Scholars to serve as special editors to further cross-review the quality of the papers and determine their grades."

"According to different grades, unconditionally provide cash rewards of different amounts."

When he typed to this point, Su Xin's hands paused. After thinking for a while, he continued to type:

"Let's simply create a website to collect various papers and open it unconditionally to everyone."

"The grading of papers and the distribution of rewards can both be publicized on the website."

"The name of the website shall be... Tianwen."
