Chapter 290: The Tianwen Project and Educational Reform

After writing down the concept for the Tianwen Website.

More ideas popped into Su Xin's mind.

He could move all academic papers and textbooks for every subject onto the Tianwen Website, building it into the world's richest knowledge base.

Then, by utilizing the Tiantian Intelligent Search Engine, he could provide everyone with powerful knowledge-answering capabilities.

With such a rich and comprehensive knowledge base, combined with the powerful retrieval technology and Artificial Intelligence technology of the Tiantian Intelligent Search Engine, it would be enough to become the most knowledgeable teacher in the world.

With such a top-tier teacher in the world available to answer questions and resolve doubts for students anytime and anywhere, everyone's learning efficiency would surely increase significantly.

This technology alone could greatly improve educational conditions worldwide, making learning easier for everyone and allowing for deeper study.

It could even serve as a research aid, solving many problems encountered by people in their scientific research.

Many people rate Artificial Intelligence as a peak technology no less than Controlled Nuclear Fusion, believing that Artificial Intelligence will be what triggers the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Regardless of whether this statement is correct, at the very least, it is enough to see the power of Artificial Intelligence technology.

Of course.

This refers to true Artificial Intelligence.

The Tiantian Intelligent Search Engine can only be considered a branch of Zhǔn Réngōng Zhìhuì, focusing solely on search, but its utility is also quite powerful.

"The richest knowledge base, plus the strongest Artificial Intelligence, to create the strongest personal teacher—this project can be called the Tianwen Project."

"As long as the Tianwen Project succeeds, it will allow more top-tier talent to emerge throughout society."

At this moment, Su Xin thought of another problem.

"Academic papers are an important way for scholars to conduct academic exchanges and are also important tools for describing scientific research successes; these are often things that only scholars who have already achieved initial success can publish."

"To improve the quality of education and cultivate more talent, we should place more importance on basic textbooks and various advanced learning materials."

"Therefore, in addition to rewarding excellent papers, we should also reward more excellent textbook-style books, letting those top experts and scholars write books whenever they have time, share their experiences and insights, educate the younger generation, and further enrich the knowledge base of the Tianwen Website."

"Papers are frontier technical theories."

"Textbooks are systematic foundational knowledge."

"By supporting both aspects heavily and supplementing them with the intelligent tutoring of the Tianwen knowledge base, we will certainly be able to significantly improve the quality of education and give birth to more talent."

When Su Xin first awakened his Godspeed Ability, he relied on the massive collection of books on various subjects in the library to acquire knowledge; that knowledge was relatively basic but also very comprehensive, allowing Su Xin to have a profound and systematic understanding of every subject.

A ten-thousand-foot building rises from the ground.

Every knowledge system requires a good foundation to climb to higher peaks.

For promoting education, basic textbooks might be even more important than frontier papers because they affect more people and can also lay a more solid foundation for all students.

Su Xin recorded all his thoughts, then called Hao Zude, stated his ideas, and asked him to arrange for top educational experts to communicate with him in person.

Hao Zude naturally agreed to everything.

Three days later.

Several senior expert consultants from the education department, accompanied by Hao Zude, arrived in Tianjing together and met with Su Xin in a conference room at the Tianqi Group headquarters.

Also present was Luo Jialin, the president of Tianqi Education Company, which is under the Tianqi Group.

"Education is the most important cornerstone of social progress and the most important cause for the whole of society."

Su Xin said with a solemn face:

"The economy of Long Country has already taken off in all aspects, but education has yet to keep up with the pace of development in the new era."

"Therefore, it is time for a change."

The middle-aged man with black hair sitting to his right was the chief education consultant, Lu Fangmao.

Upon hearing this, Lu Fangmao smiled and said:

"For President Su to be so concerned about education and the future of Long Country is truly a blessing for Long Country."

"Actually, regarding the issue of education, we have had many in-depth discussions over the past two years."

"But precisely because education is so important, we cannot change our policies casually, nor can we make major adjustments, otherwise the impact would be too great."

"Therefore, we have formulated some policies over the past two years and conducted pilot programs in some cities."

"However, wanting to push these policies nationwide is likely not an easy decision to make."

Su Xin waved his hand and said heroically:

"With Long Country's current foundation and development momentum, there is no need to be overly cautious now; we can fully afford to take larger strides."

"As long as the economy is good, it is easy for everyone to find good jobs and earn money; even if there were truly problems with educational policies, they would all be covered up."

"Moreover, with Tianqi Group providing free technical support, employment resource backing, plus the high welfare benefits of our partner enterprises, the large personnel shortages in state-owned enterprises, and the Fourth Industrial Revolution triggered by Controlled Nuclear Fusion, it is guaranteed that everyone will have a way out, and education will not be in chaos no matter what."

"This is the best era, and we can take advantage of the economic takeoff to carry out sweeping reforms."

Hearing this, several people were moved.

Indeed, Long Country's current economy, military, and international status are already number one in the world.

The stronger the strength, the higher the fault tolerance.

Especially the economy, which is far ahead of the second-place Yingjiang Country; last year's total annual GDP reached three times that of the latter, and the upward trend is still very obvious, with quite strong staying power.

Under such a powerful economy, as long as no major mistakes are made, it is impossible for any problems to arise within Long Country.

Just like the former Yingjiang Country, which implemented so-called happy education for the civilian class; even if their cultural level was not high, there were many people who could not even mentally calculate simple three-digit addition.

But so what?

At that time, Yingjiang Country's economy was strong enough, ranking first in the world for decades, and far ahead of any country behind it.

Even if the quality of education for the common people was very poor, and some people were as stupid as cows, as long as they worked a little seriously, they could have a decent life.

At such times, no one would question the education issue; instead, many people would praise it.

Actually, this is not because Yingjiang Country's education policy was so good, but simply because all the drawbacks were covered up by the developed economy.

They only needed to ensure elite education, let the elite class possess sufficiently strong capabilities, and combined with the talent-siphoning effect of being the world's number one power, gathering top talent from around the globe, they could ensure that talent was sufficient and excellent enough.

And the bottom layer.

One only needs to use various forms of "tittytainment" and consumerism to raise those lower-class commoners into happy broiler chickens.

However, this kind of education policy is only suitable for an immigrant country like Yingjiang Country, and only conforms to the fundamental system of Yingjiang Country; it is not suitable for Long Country.

Today's Long Country is far stronger in every aspect than Yingjiang Country was a few years ago; although it will not adopt that policy known as "happy education," which is in reality "fool-the-people education," there is also no need to worry about unreasonable policies causing any chaos.

They can completely reform with peace of mind and boldly use practical actions to explore.

This meeting lasted for two hours.

Until noon, after the group finished lunch at the cafeteria of the Tianqi Group headquarters, Su Xin arranged for Luo Jialin to see the others off.

After the several experts returned, they discussed with others, relayed Su Xin's opinions, and worked together with Luo Jialin, the president of Tianqi Education Company, to formulate various cooperation policies.

Within a short month.

The education sector announced major policies one after another.

From elementary school to high school, from vocational school to junior college, from university to master's and doctoral programs, all stages have corresponding educational support policies.

Among them.

The point that sparked the most heated discussion is—providing all teachers, as well as all students above the third grade, with a free smart watch equipped with the Tianwen Website knowledge base, with free replacements supported every three years; even if lost or damaged, they can be purchased at a very low price.

In addition, the examination system has also undergone major adjustments; the subject of English has been directly cancelled, and several other major subjects have also seen significant changes.

For example, social competition points have been added.

And social competitions refer to some events jointly held by Tianqi Group and the education department, including sports competitions, scientific experiments, essay contests, handicraft competitions, and so on, encouraging students to participate in these social activities; it is similar to the previous college entrance exam bonus points, just with richer categories.

At the same time.

The college entrance exam supports self-selected subjects for participation.

University admission policies have also undergone major adjustments.

It is not just admission based on total scores; single-subject grades will also serve as important admission indicators.

Some genius students who are severely lopsided in their studies, having top-tier grades in only one or a few subjects, and who are also very skilled in these subjects in social competition points, can completely choose to take exams only in the subjects they are good at during the college entrance exam, and ultimately enter the university they want to attend.

Math geniuses can focus on studying mathematics.

Physics geniuses can focus on studying physics.

For example, the admission requirements for the Physics Department of Jing University only require grades in physics, mathematics, biology, and chemistry to meet the standard, along with meeting the standard score for that subject in social competitions, and that is enough.

Of course, the trade-off is that the difficulty and total score of all subjects have increased to a certain extent, with each subject being worth two hundred points.

This can pull a larger gap between the grades of each subject and reflect true proficiency.

That is to say.

From now on, the high school and university stages will no longer focus on cultivating all-around grades, but will focus on cultivating areas of expertise.

High school will begin to stream students, implementing a system of compulsory and elective courses in a form similar to universities.

This can not only reduce the learning burden and examination pressure on students but also allow everyone to go further in the directions they are good at.

The major adjustments of these various policies caused a strong sensation in the education sector of Long Country.

Shortly thereafter.

The Tianqi Charitable Foundation under Tianqi Group officially announced to the public the establishment of three education support funds.

The first item is a scholarship for all university students, with a total amount of one billion credit coins per year, distributed to fifty thousand students with outstanding performance.

The second item is for all students, professors, and talents in society, regardless of nationality or age; as long as they publish valuable papers on the Tianwen Website, they will be issued cash rewards of varying amounts based on the final assessed grade of the paper, with a total annual amount ranging from one hundred million to ten billion.

The third item is for textbook-style books; whether they are academic or technical, as long as they are published on the Tianwen Website, pass the plagiarism check, and possess a certain value, they will be given cash rewards of varying amounts.

These bonuses can be used by the authors for self-publishing or kept for personal use; if published, there are additional cash rewards based on different sales volumes, with no limit on the total annual reward amount.
