Chapter 120, Blueprint for the Space Age
If you want to run a university that can truly cultivate elites, you naturally can't make money like other private colleges and universities by hanging the name of a certain university or a certain college. At least you have to be able to meet the first batch of enrollment qualifications or have the qualifications for independent enrollment.
Li Fu prefers independent enrollment, because only in this way can he recruit the talents he wants, but this is also the most difficult to do. China is not Uncle Sam. There are very few schools in China that can recruit students on their own, and they are basically famous schools in the "Four Alliances".
Even for famous schools, the number and proportion of independent enrollment will not be too high, and it is also criticized by Chinese people, who believe that these famous schools' independent enrollment is not open, fair, and unequal. In fact, it is just a special channel opened up for the children of the rich and powerful.
Therefore, Sanjiang University basically has no hope of obtaining the qualifications for independent enrollment, even if Li Fu is now a Nobel Prize winner, a Chinese academician, and a top scientist at the national treasure level.
That's why Li Fu had to go the route of Wang Yun. Li Fu knew the great influence and energy of the old man in front of him. If he was willing to help, plus Li Fu's great contribution in the "Shenjian" aerospace fighter, he still had a good chance of obtaining the qualification for independent enrollment.
If it was an ordinary matter, Li Fu would never ask the old man for help, and if it was other matters, the old man would definitely not help, but when it came to education, the great plan of cultivating people for a hundred years, and things that were truly beneficial to the country and the nation, the old man would also support Li Fu.
The old man knew very well that Li Fu's net worth was now enough to easily rank first on the rich list, but Fuyun Technology Group was not listed, so there was naturally no need to disclose it to the public, so ordinary people could not figure out Li Fu's net worth, and Li Fu was definitely not the kind of person who wanted to make money by running a university.
The old man was more willing to believe that Li Fu was a pure scientist, and running a university was just for teaching and educating people, just to make his hometown develop better, which could be seen from the fact that Li Fu set up his company in his hometown.
"It's a good thing to run a university, but if you want to run it, you must run it well. Education has far-reaching implications, and we must not mislead students!"
The old man nodded slowly and said to Li Fu very carefully.
"Yes!"
Li Fu nodded solemnly. He had heard the old man's support for Li Fu from his words. As Li Fu expected, the old man was still very happy to help with things that benefit the country and the people.
"You just mentioned the interstellar era and the cosmic era. Do you think we will be able to enter the interstellar era and the cosmic era soon?"
After talking about education, the old man remembered the interstellar era and the cosmic era that Li Fu had just mentioned, and asked hurriedly. The old man knew very well that Li Fu was the main core scientist of China's "Shenjian" aerospace fighter, and he must have his own views on the development of future technology.
"Of course, after the successful research of our country's aerospace fighter, it will be very convenient for us to travel to and from space, and the cost has been reduced to a very low level."
"Now our China's Tiangong space station is much larger than all man-made objects in space. There are dozens of astronauts or scientists working on it at all times. This shows that the space age has arrived."
"In the future, China can build factories in space, develop energy, mine resources on the moon, and even land on Mars to try to transform Mars and turn Mars into a second Earth. The entire solar system can become our backyard, and countless resources are waiting for us to mine."
"I estimate that the space industry will become a supporting industry for our country in the future. From resource mining, energy mining, space factories, space agriculture, space transportation, planetary transformation, interstellar immigration, etc., any industry contains huge wealth."
Li Fu nodded. Thanks to the emergence of aerospace fighters, China's space technology is developing very rapidly. Sometimes the huge Tiangong space station can be seen with a telescope.
"The scene you described is indeed very attractive. Although the cost of going to and from space has been reduced, the cost of aerospace fighters is not cheap. Our country has only three so far, and there is no extra money to build more aerospace fighters."
"It is impossible to develop to the level you mentioned without decades."
At this point, the old man shook his head slightly. The cost of an aerospace fighter is more than 30 billion Chinese yuan, and this is just considering the cost factor. If other factors are taken into account, the cost of an aerospace fighter is at least 50 billion Chinese yuan. Such a huge amount of purple gold is not willing to build many even if the country is rich now.
"The current model and method of the country's development of space is still a bit backward. In fact, private capital is also very huge, and the future development of space must be inseparable from the power of the people, and it is absolutely necessary to participate in the private forces. So I think if the country wants to develop as soon as possible in this regard, it should also open up to the private forces in its own country as soon as possible to allow more people to participate."
"The cost of aerospace fighters is very expensive, but that's because there are many very precious rare metals among the materials used. Rare metals are very scarce on Earth, but they are very abundant in the universe. The rare metal reserves on the moon alone are very amazing, even richer than those on Earth."
"If we occupy the moon earlier and occupy more resources, the cost of aerospace fighters can be greatly reduced. Moreover, if we just sail in the universe, we don't need air-conditioned fighters at all, because there is no gravity in the universe, and ordinary spacecraft are enough."
"If we can form a situation where the government is the leader and private capital actively participates, our Chinese power in space will expand rapidly."
"Now is like the early days of the Earth's great navigation period. We are still very vague about the outside world. What we need to do is to bravely take our own steps and try to occupy the entire sun first. The more resources in the system, the better. In this way, even if other countries develop their technology, they will not have enough resources to develop in the future. "
"The opposite is also true. If we lag behind in the space age, then in the future we will probably be bullied and beaten again like a hundred years ago. If we let Europeans and Americans occupy more resources, our descendants will be controlled by others everywhere, and it will be more difficult to develop again."
"The entire solar system is very big, but it is also very small. The resources seem to be very huge, but in the future we will have to use the resources of the solar system as the foundation to move towards the interstellar age and the cosmic age, and these resources will seem very few."
Li Fu thought carefully for a long time in his mind, and then slowly spoke. Li Fu has seen a lot of things from the development experience of the Han Dynasty Science and Technology Empire. The Han Dynasty Science and Technology Empire has always attached great importance to resources. In many cases, even if there is no need now, resources must be circled first to lay the foundation for the development of future generations.
Of course, Li Fu said this out of his own selfishness. If Li Fu wants to participate in space legitimately, he must obtain the approval of the country. If the country can develop it with private forces, then Li Fu can legitimately follow the development. In this way, Li Fu can come up with more technology, which will not only promote his own development, but also drive China to circle the resources of the solar system as soon as possible.
"Private forces, seize resources."
After listening to the old man, he thought carefully in his mind. Li Fu's words undoubtedly opened up a new perspective for the old man. If he looks at the upcoming space age, he can formulate a strategy that can promote China's development faster.
After a long time, the old man nodded slowly. There was nothing wrong with what Li Fu said. The current space age is actually a competition to seize more resources first and lay the foundation for future development.
"Resources, resources, seize resources. China has too few resources, so we have many frustrations, such as birth policy. If China is also sparsely populated, we would not have to make such a helpless policy."
The old man also sighed for a long time. Their generation has been from the founding of the country to the present. They have experienced too much and too much. They know the preciousness of resources. They also know that although China is known for its vast land, it is actually very scarce in resources. When the population exploded, they had to choose a very helpless policy.
If it were a country like Canada and the polar bear, with a sparse population and vast territory, there would be no need to say that there would be a policy of restricting births. Everything is very helpless.
"If we can first seize the resources of the moon, and then use the moon as a base and springboard, we will march to Mars and transform Mars into a planet suitable for human habitation, then our descendants of Yan and Huang will not have to worry about land and resources for a long time."
Li Fu nodded and painted a magnificent scene, transforming Mars, monopolizing Mars, and turning Mars into a cradle exclusively for the descendants of Yan and Huang.
"Just listening to you talk about the space age makes me very excited. Unfortunately, I am already old. The future still depends on you young people."
After listening to the old man, he sighed for a long time and wished that he could borrow another 500 years from the sky. However, Li Fu saw a lot of things in the old man's eyes.
