The benefits that the science city publicly displays are enough to attract talents from all over the world.
Perhaps the image that China portrays its scientists as indifferent to fame and fortune, and selfless in their dedication.
In reality, scientists are not very relevant to these eight words. Due to their highly developed brains, their desires are even stronger than those of ordinary people.
Especially in Western countries, the maritime culture and the evolution of thought after the Renaissance have determined that they must put their own feelings first.
As for national and ethnic consciousness, it may exist, but it can be absent when faced with self-interest.
Otherwise, so many German scientists and former Russian scientists wouldn't have been recruited by America after failing in their own countries.
These scientists had already defected to America and other Western countries before their failures in their home countries.
The most enticing perk of the Science City, besides extending lifespan, is the availability of AI assistants who can help you verify many ideas and write papers.
An assistant capable of handling almost all your daily and research tasks, who, with use and familiarity, can understand your intentions nearly 100%.
For someone passionate about scientific research, they can devote all their energy to exploring the unknown, rather than to trivial matters.
The number of people applying to become permanent residents of the Science City has been surging year after year, from two million in the first year to twenty million this year.
If you are applying on your own, you must have at least a PhD.
However, for those talents with real potential and qualifications identified by Zheng Li through virtual reality scanning equipment, there are no academic requirements.
Since 2000, the growth rate of highly educated talent worldwide has been rapid. Even though doctoral degrees are scarce, the number of doctoral degree holders globally remains a significant figure.
In China and America alone, the number of newly awarded doctoral degrees is around 70,000 each year.
Of course, a degree does not equal ability, but for a position where demand exceeds supply, it is still necessary to set certain thresholds.
Are positions in large companies really only suitable for graduates from 985 and 211 universities?
Obviously not.
In the first two decades of the 21st century alone, large state-owned enterprises hired top consulting firms like McKinsey to carry out corporate transformation and restructuring.
The core objective is to break down the company's business into smaller, manageable steps, so that even if all employees were replaced with high school graduates, the company could still manage it.
Therefore, the larger the company, the more standardized its business processes become, and the lower the skill requirements for individuals.
This is why code from large companies is easier to maintain than code from small companies, because large companies have their own set of standards for code writing.
Since the larger the company, the simpler the job content is, why set up entry barriers?
Because there are too many people who want to come, we use the explicit requirement of academic qualifications to filter out individuals who do not meet the requirements.
However, there are also deities who do not conform to the explicit rules.
Generally speaking, if you see a list of new employees filled with graduates from Tsinghua and Peking Universities, interspersed with a few local graduates from second-tier universities in Beijing, you should have a good idea of the company's strengths and weaknesses.
The reason why the science city sets a doctoral degree as a threshold is not because there are not enough positions, but because the job is too well paid and lacks a clear management and assessment mechanism.
Scientific research is a process of accumulating knowledge and experience before making a breakthrough. If the problem you are working on is too difficult, you may not get results even if you think about it every day.
For example, if Zhang Yitang hadn't made significant contributions to the study of twin primes, no one would have known that he was an outstanding mathematician.
In the Science City, there is no such thing as a three-year promotion-or-leave policy; if you don't achieve results, you will have to leave.
Even during the three-year evaluation period, you are only asked to talk about some of your thoughts and interim achievements over the past three years.
The three-year evaluation period is to verify your ability and potential, rather than requiring you to publish certain articles or achieve a certain impact factor.
Such weak constraints inherently avoid meaningless research that is results-oriented.
The science city has been in operation for about five years.
Over the past five years, the outside world has gained a general understanding of the operation of the science city.
More and more scientists hope to join the science city, and one prominent figure wrote on his personal blog:
"I really want to work in the Science City of Singapore."
The benefits and unique environment of the science city were just one of the factors that made me want to go, but not the deciding factor.
The real reason I want to work in the Science City is that their performance evaluation mechanism is not results-oriented.
In the modern academic system, there is a complete worship of results.
Nobody cares about your grades in high school, nobody cares which school you graduated from.
The only thing that might be somewhat useful is which advisor you worked with during your doctoral studies.
What people care about is what papers you've published, in which journals, and what your impact factor is.
Whether these papers themselves are meaningful is of little concern to most people.
Whenever a new direction is discovered, everyone is concerned about how many papers can be published in this direction and how much benefit can be gained from it.
As for truth, few people care about the spirit of science itself.
Most researchers aim to write a paper that can be accepted for publication, rather than to produce something of value.
Although most papers are indeed not of practical use, this phenomenon is becoming increasingly common in this day and age, and the spirit of pursuing truth is gradually being lost.
