Zhao Jun said, "In the next twenty years, the Song Dynasty must focus on scientific research, increase investment in scientific research, and use the power of the country to comprehensively accumulate knowledge. I believe that within fifty years, it will not be difficult to complete the completion of all basic sciences."
"Complete all basic science in fifty years?"
Yan Shu was surprised and asked, "Hanlong means to raise all scientific levels to the level of the future?"
"Um."
Zhao Jun nodded and said, "You may not know this, but this basic theoretical knowledge was actually completed after World War II. Since the 21st century, there have been no major breakthroughs in basic science for a century. This is because humans had already discovered all the most basic laws of nature by that time. Scientific progress mainly relies on using existing knowledge to solve routine problems, rather than solving abnormal problems by changing or overturning the foundation of existing knowledge. Therefore, it is impossible for basic theoretical achievements to continue."
"How could such a thing actually happen?"
Everyone was stunned.
"Don't underestimate human wisdom."
Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Often, a single exceptional scientist can achieve a major breakthrough. Newton and Einstein were both outstanding examples. As long as humanity focuses on scientific research and produces a few exceptional scientists, it's possible to achieve the accumulation of basic science in a very short period of time."
"I see. This might be the technological explosion mentioned in those movies I saw before."
"What a pity! Back then, Lü Yijian often lamented that he was born and died too young, missing out on many things. He only saw the train appear. Now I can truly understand that feeling. I really want to see what the Song Dynasty will be like fifty years from now."
"You old men, forget it. Han Long is the only one here who will live a few more years, maybe even into his eighties, and maybe even see such a prosperous era. The rest of us should just get into our coffins."
“Hahahahahahaha.”
Everyone laughed and joked.
Fan Zhongyan suddenly thought of a question and said, "Can it be achieved just by relying on the government's promotion?"
"Of course not."
Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Besides subjective promotion, certain objective conditions are also required. After all, the country can only control the general direction. It is difficult for a country to control all the details of the actual context."
"oh?"
Fan Zhongyan became interested and asked, "What ideas do you have?"
"Of course."
Zhao Jun looked out the door with a deep gaze and said softly, "Remember what I said before? My mentor, Professor Wen, once said that modern science was born out of war. Because Europe had not yet achieved unity, it developed vigorously to meet the needs of war weapons."
"so?"
Fan Zhongyan pondered: "Do you want to start a war?"
"No."
Zhao Jun looked at him, grinned, and said, "I just want to bring peace, peace in the name of the Great Song Dynasty!"
