The state of Chu is in fact also facing a potential economic crisis, and the state of Chu, which has the control of raw materials, must export these raw materials in large quantities in order to fulfill their value, and the state of Chu is in the downstream of an industry. And the state of Qin is in the upper reaches of an industry. Qin's industry required large quantities of cheap mineral resources. At present, these resources are mainly concentrated in the south of the Yangtze River in the Chu State. This creates two extremes.

These nobles were naturally aware of the current situation. However, they don't know strategy, but they all have their own little abacus. They are all calculating the actual gains and losses of their own interests.

It is clear that this engagement is only the beginning, and that it is not possible to reach some kind of agreement all at once. However, as long as there is this start, it will be fine. Next. As long as there is more contact with nature, the Qin State can achieve the goal it wants.

Just when the two countries of Qin and Chu had their first secret contact. A proposal was submitted to Shangwen's desk, and the assistant placed the document at the top of the list.

This is a report jointly submitted by professors from several universities in Xianyang. The content of this report is to set up special science and technology awards to encourage the development of science and technology in Qin. Shang Wen also ordered the assistant to mobilize the information of the Qin State Science and Technology Patent Office to compare the Qin State.

To be honest, Shang Wen himself thinks that a science prize like the Nobel Prize should be set up to encourage the research achievements of those scientists. Because the establishment of this award will help promote the development of science and technology in the Qin State.

The development of science and technology is actually the success of Qin's education. If there is no education as a foundation, then the upper achievements of science and technology cannot be transformed. Shang Wen believes that it is indeed time to mention the agenda. And right away.

It just so happened that the Qin State Science and Technology Patent Office also submitted a similar report. This report is mainly combined with the two reports, and we can see the speed of development of science education in Qin.

All basic education in the Qin State was free. In other words, the Qin government will pay part of the money to let Qin's children finish high school. But the university, that is, the science and technology of further study. What is required is for the students to do it themselves. Obviously, this is not possible. But the Qin state has various enterprises. Eighty percent of the technical talents of these enterprises come from these universities and colleges. A small part comes from society. This shows that talent training has begun to concentrate in universities and colleges. The high degree of attention paid by enterprises to science and technology has promoted the renewal of rapid technological development.

The state of Qin is experiencing a super explosion of scientific knowledge. Almost in two years, the Qin state has gone through the accumulation of scientific knowledge that would take centuries to complete. When Shang Wen saw this report and looked back at the past, he realized that the science and technology of the Qin State had developed so fast.

Although theoretically relatively lagged. The results are striking. But over time. In particular, the gap between science and technology separates. This situation is limiting the further amplification of Qin's achievements.

Science is the use of known scientific theories and techniques to explore unknown areas. This requires an accumulation of knowledge. This also means that the Qin State has to invest more in terms of capital and intelligence. Technology, on the other hand, doesn't need that. Rather, it can be obtained through a certain amount of technical experience. This experience comes from constant repetition, revision, etc. The difference between the two is huge.

Now the scientific achievements of the Qin State come largely from technical experience. For example, in terms of electricity. The industrial workers of the Qin State invented and created many new gadgets. For example, electric sewing machines. Chainsaws. After the appearance of ammonium nitrate, dry batteries appeared in the Qin State. The advent of dry batteries allowed Qin to have portable flashlights. And so on and so forth, which people have learned from experience.

But the report from the Science and Technology Patent Office shows that Qin's scientific and technological achievements are declining. Although this reduction is not visible for the time being, it vaguely worries the staff of Qin's patent office. This kind of research that only attaches importance to achievements and ignores scientific theories has caused some hidden dangers in science and technology to appear in the Qin State. Shang Wen had to re-examine the situation.

Time. What the Qin State lacked most was this kind of time accumulation. Especially in the future, the more important this kind of scientific and technological accumulation of the Qin State becomes. Shang Wen was born in science and engineering, so he naturally knows the accumulation of technology that needs to be understood in order to complete a scientific and technological achievement. This accumulation is something that takes a long time to complete.

In fact, the state of Qin was going through an important turning point. Although Qin had an absolute advantage in science and technology, there were great potential factors for this advantage. The Qin State has an extremely extreme utilitarianism, and the Qin State always hopes to spend the least amount of money in a short period of time, and it is best to achieve a one-time success. This can be seen in the innovation of military weapons.

But the more this is the case, the greater the potential hidden danger of the Qin state. Shang Wen felt that Qin's current situation was very similar to that of the American Electric Revolution. Although the king of invention appeared in the United States, and many creative inventions are in the United States, this kind of invention is only an invention close to life. But major scientific and technological theories have emerged in Europe. For example, the famous theory of relativity. Although the United States has also had several successful theories. For example, liquid rockets. But the end result is in Europe. Especially Germany. Germany is a country that attaches great importance to education, and many important scientific and technological technologies are in Germany, and if it were not for World War II, the United States would not have been able to develop so quickly.

Nuclear technology, modern rocket technology, and all sorts of advanced technologies come from German scientific research. The German study, on the other hand, took a long time to study. This research time includes countless technical experiments and financial investment. Material improvements. The time it takes for the state of Qin. Sneak into the study of some possible theories, and then gradually move forward.

Thinking of this, Shang Wen thought that it was necessary to change the current radical approach of the Qin State. In other words, let scientific research calm down. Rather than indulging in short-term research results, go one step further on such research results. The demand of the market is always so blind, expanding, pursuing the shortest time and the greatest benefit. And the government should guide it in a timely manner. Otherwise, there will be big problems.

The reports of professors from universities and colleges also have this meaning, and Shang Wen thinks it is very reasonable. It was decided to set up a special science and technology award for Qin. However, in terms of the specific awards and the time of promulgation, Shangwen has made significant adjustments with reference to later generations and the current situation. The awards awarded have been extended to education. The main thing is an educational method that can be successfully guided. Furthermore. There is also the time for awards. Set for four seasons. Because if it were once a year, it would be difficult to calm down other science and technology. The variety should also be increased.
