Chapter 310: Mr. Qian's Question of the Century
Parents at the University of Tokyo have always attached more importance to education, and the concept of school district housing can make some parents obediently pay out a few million more.
But what’s interesting is that American companies prefer to run schools specifically for employees’ children. Needless to say, the Ad Astra School founded by Musk has been almost torn apart by the media.
Companies such as Google and Microsoft also have kindergartens, primary and secondary schools for employees' children.
Domestic technology companies are not very enthusiastic about this, they prefer to run universities.
When Chen Yuanguang said this, the applause was much louder.
The God of Light's encouragement to study can have a much stronger effect on one's children than encouraging them oneself.
After returning to the office, the first thing I did was a remote video conference with Chris:
"Chris, we need to add another module to the interior design of the space station," said Chen Yuanguang.
Chris Cummins was one of NASA's leaders in charge of the construction of the International Space Station. After leaving NASA, he co-founded a space startup company, Nanoracks.
The company's main business previously was commercial space laboratories.
After being forced to leave Nanoracks, Chris joined Light Armor Aerospace and was the person in charge of the space station project.
It can be said that Guangjia Aerospace came here with the belief that it would never return to America, with the vision of opening up a great era of space commerce.
"What module should I add?" Chris asked.
Chen Yuanguang said: "We need to add a module that can charge the robot."
Chris was puzzled and said, "In our previous design, the robot should have been arranged later. The initial core module should not include robots."
Although the huge space station cluster plan designed by Guangjia Aerospace requires the use of a large number of robots to carry out the work, it still depends on people in the beginning. This is also an important reason why Guangjia Aerospace wants to train its own astronauts.
Is it too radical to use robots right from the start?
Chen Yuanguang explained: "It was designed this way before, but now the situation is different, we have achieved a major breakthrough in robotics technology.
It needs to be brought into space from the beginning.”
From nine in the morning to five in the afternoon, it will be one after another. On the first day after officially going to work, a large number of issues need to be discussed with different groups, and a large number of plan details need to be confirmed.
On the Internet of Southeast University, the popularity of Chen Yuanguang winning the Nobel Prize has not yet passed. Today is the first day after the long vacation, and no one has entered the working state at all.
Many people are checking their phones, trying to get through the day off.
If you don't slack off while working, then working will become extremely painful.
Obviously, in this era of advanced social media, Lin Jia's speech in the Guangjia Aerospace Building in the morning was recorded by Guangjia Aerospace employees and then spread to major social media.
It quickly topped the Weibo hot search list, and many people were discussing it.
"Why isn't it the God of Light who speaks out? Isn't Lin Jia overstepping his authority?"
"Where is my God of Light? Won't the God of Light come out and say a few words?"
"The God of Light should be in Mianyang. I didn't believe that the God of Light was under house arrest before. Now it seems that it is more like house arrest than protection."
"Isn't it good that Lin Jia didn't say this? Why do people on the Internet put Lin Jia and Gu Sheng together to ridicule them?"
There is almost no negative public opinion about Chen Yuanguang on the social media of the University of Tokyo, and it has all been cleared out, so these opponents will focus on attacking him on Twitter.
However, even on Twitter, there is less and less negative public opinion about Chen Yuanguang, because it is difficult to find a suitable attack point to attack Chen Yuanguang.
The reality is here. Chen Yuanguang does not express his political views to the outside world. The biggest point of attack by the Chinese-speaking bloggers on Twitter is that Chen Yuanguang is in Dongda and works for Dongda. This point of attack is so weak that even their audience will not buy it.
On domestic social media, this dark side of public opinion was borne by Lin Jia, while on foreign social media it was borne by the official Southeast University.
There is no need to worry about too many lice, and the University of Tokyo is the all-purpose scapegoat on Twitter.
Of course, there are many untrue things in xxn’s remarks, such as the fact that Chen Yuanguang disappeared, which is obviously a lie.
The central bank has been announcing since National Day that it will arrange a live interview with Chen Yuanguang after the National Day.
If it were someone else, they would be arranged to broadcast live on the day they won the Nobel Prize. Chen Yuanguang still has privileges in this regard. He didn't want his vacation to be disturbed, so he deliberately postponed the interview to the first working day after the vacation.
For the central bank, there is more time for publicity. "In 1935, Qian went to America to study. Twenty years later, Qian returned to the University of Science and Technology despite many obstacles and made outstanding contributions to the aerospace industry and the entire scientific industry of the University of Science and Technology.
Fifty years later, in 2005, when then-President Xi Jinping visited Mr. Qian, he asked the famous Qian Xuesen question:
'One of the main reasons why China has not fully developed is that no university can run schools in accordance with the model of cultivating scientific and technological inventive talents. Without its own unique innovations, it has always failed to produce outstanding talents. This is a big problem.'
Twenty years later, this year a scientist trained by the University of Tokyo won the Nobel Prize in Physics.
This is the result of the all-round development of the society of Southeast University and the fruit of the scientific innovation of Southeast University. Today, our dialogue program invited Mr. Chen Yuanguang, the winner of the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics, to be interviewed by us.
Through this interview, we hope to answer Mr. Qian’s questions while also raising new questions for future generations.
This is the inheritance of the scientific research spirit of the University of Tokyo. Each generation has its own mission. I hope that people in the future can answer this question for us. "
Interview programs usually have a theme. Obviously, when Chen Yuanguang won the Nobel Prize, the theme chosen by CCTV was Qian Xuesen's Questions.
In addition to TV stations, the evening live broadcast is also broadcast simultaneously on many platforms, including Bilibili, Weibo, Tik Tok, CCTV's own app, etc.
A conservative estimate is that there are tens of millions of viewers watching.
Just by seeing the beginning, the school leaders of Jiangnan University smiled.
Why are you smiling? Qian Xuesen asked, and his original words were that no university can run schools according to the model of cultivating scientific and technological invention and creation talents.
Now that the central bank has set the tone, we have solved this problem.
Doesn’t that mean that there are universities in the country that are operating according to the model of cultivating scientific and technological inventions and creative talents?
Which university did Chen Yuanguang graduate from? Jiangnan University.
If this is the case, doesn’t it just show that Jiangnan University complies with this principle? Since the central bank has said so, Jiangnan University can do so in all aspects in the future.
Pure bonus from heaven.
After leaving school, some graduates like to say that the school should work hard to ensure that the scores they earned in the exams will not be wasted. However, people like Chen Yuanguang single-handedly raised the passing score of Jiangnan University's School of Chemistry by 20 points.
It was ten points before, but now it’s probably around twenty points.
Therefore, sometimes even if the school does not work hard, the efforts of alumni can also be useful.
"Let us welcome the God of Light." The host applauded.
The venue was very simple, just an office that had been randomly cleaned up. The people from the central bank simply decorated it, and even the chairs were directly moved office chairs.
"Hello, host, and hello, audience friends."
“God of Light, everyone seems to be used to calling you this, what do you think of this nickname?
Or, do you like this nickname yourself?" the host asked.
Chen Yuanguang said: "I think it's OK. In fact, when we were in college, we called each other gods, this god and that god. At that time, my nickname was the God of Light.
But later, as people matured, they stopped calling each other that, thinking it was a bit childish.
When I graduated from college, this title slowly came back to me. It was a pretty amazing feeling.
I don't mind it, the Light God is definitely better than the Primordial God." He even made a joke at the end.
There are also people who call him "Yuan Shen", but it is rare. Netizens who call Chen Yuanguang Yuanshen will be labeled as the original critic.
"Guangshen, what do you think of Qian Xuesen's question that we just mentioned at the beginning?
Let's take it step by step. Do you think the current situation of Southeast University can answer Qian Xuesen's question? "
“I think it’s solved, and I’m not so arrogant as to think that the problem has been solved because I won the Nobel Prize.
The reason I think it has been answered is that our country has already caught up with America in terms of both the number and quality of papers published.
The only gap between us and developed countries in scientific research is the number of masters.
Therefore, I think Mr. Qian’s question has been well answered by Modern Dongda.”
