Chapter 206 (1/2)
Zhang Wei has always delivered speeches off the paper. This time, he is no exception. He stepped onto the stage, picked up the microphone, smiled and began to speak, ”distinguished king, Queen and members of the royal family, ladies and gentlemen:
according to the Convention, Nobel Prize winners are supposed to deliver speeches, but I was absent from this link before. I'm sorry to you, and then I decided to The topic of my speech is: we live in a great era.
There are several famous ”prophecies” in the history of science and technology.
More than 100 years ago, Professor Philip von jolly, a teacher of German physicist Planck, advised him that ”physics is basically a completed science”.
In 18-99, the director of the U.S. Patent Office asserted that ”everything that can be invented has been invented”.
Decades ago, Watson, a senior director of IBM, predicted that ”the size of the global computer market is five.”.
Now, these predictions are ridiculous, but these people are the most outstanding talents in this field at that time. Their prediction of failure is not because of shortsightedness, but because the demand power of social and economic development is far beyond everyone's prediction, the potential of human innovation is far beyond everyone's imagination, and technology is endless.
Today, we can learn about the news events on the other side of the earth in a few minutes. We can communicate, discuss and hold meetings with people in any corner of the world anytime, anywhere. We can buy our favorite products at home. Even the anti gravity flying car and intelligent robot, which only existed in science fiction movies two years ago, came to me In our lives.
Why has our life changed so much? No doubt, it's technology. The accelerated development of science and technology has promoted such an unprecedented historical change and changed our mode of production and lifestyle.
In my opinion, the development of science and technology will be faster and faster. Many technologies are about to break out. We have entered an unprecedented era of historical upheaval.
In the field of computer, strong artificial intelligence has appeared, the intelligent earth is being realized, and the virtual world is coming out.
In the field of advanced materials and manufacturing, we have been able to design and intelligently manufacture new materials from the molecular level. In addition, breakthroughs have been made in polymer materials, nano materials, graphene materials and optoelectronic materials.
In the field of space, we have also made a revolutionary breakthrough. The development of the moon is about to become a reality. The next step is to colonize the moon, Mars and more distant space.
In the field of energy, great progress has been made in solar energy, shale gas, wind energy, hydrogen energy, wireless power transmission technology, nuclear fusion, etc. Moreover, since we can develop the moon and obtain abundant helium-3 on the moon, the energy problem will not be a problem in the next few thousand years.
In the field of life science, we have been able to read the gene code of all living creatures, and are exploring the mechanism and process of each genome participating in protein synthesis. When we fully understand the gene, we will be able to cure all diseases and create species at will, and man-made species will replace the specialty created by God. That is to say, we can do God's business.
In addition, there are quantum computing, quantum communication, quantum network, quantum simulation, nano robot, 4D printing, ecological maintenance in closed space, antimatter, dark matter, warp engine
Every moment, there are countless high-tech products invented, every minute, there are countless advanced theories put forward or realized, so I will say that we live in a great era, because we will see the birth of a great technology, and our life will change unimaginably. I can assert that if you spend five years isolated from the world in the virgin forest from now on, when you come back to human society from five years later, you will think that you have come to the future world one hundred years later.
I would like to tell you that the future belongs to the era of science and the flourishing age of scientists. Those who are interested in scientific research should not hesitate to join the field as soon as possible. As Newton said, he just picked up some beautiful shells on the seashore of truth. Truth and countless extremely valuable knowledge for human beings are waiting for us to discover. As long as you put into this field, you can certainly find your own shells.
In the end, I will follow the example of my predecessors in science to make some predictions.
