Chapter 522： Mad Earth Academia

Science and technology are primary productive forces, but science and technology cannot be directly transformed into productive forces.

Just like the old Chinese saying goes: It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!

Any productivity revolution brought about by science and technology is bound to be accompanied by countless experiments, and any experimental product consumed by these experiments needs to be exchanged for money.

Edison experimented with thousands of materials as he searched for the most suitable filament material for his light bulb, eventually inventing a very practical incandescent lamp. And where do these thousands of materials come from?

Of course it is money.

Even when Edison was conducting these experiments, his food and clothing cost money.

Without money, let alone the invention of the incandescent lamp, people would starve to death.

Therefore, for many people engaged in scientific research, what they lack most is never knowledge, but money that allows them to conduct various experiments to their heart's content.

…

Mars is a professor and lecturer at Harvard University in the United States. In fact, what he hates the most is teaching students, because it will delay his research time.

However, the reality forced him to follow the schedule and teach those students who only played with their mobile phones and laptops during class. Because if he didn't teach, then he wouldn't have a salary, and he wouldn't have a lab at Harvard that belonged to him.

"Why haven't the materials I needed arrived today?" Mars had just finished a boring class today, and when he stopped by to collect the experimental materials he applied for a week ago, he got a very unfortunate news.

The staff in charge of receiving Mars calmly adjusted the glasses on his nose, and said with a smile: "Professor Mars, I'm sorry, we can't complete the purchase of the materials you applied for temporarily due to market reasons. Please go back and wait patiently, when we have purchased it, we will naturally notify you to come and pick it up, or we will send it to you directly."

Mars couldn't understand the underlying meaning of the staff member at all, and said angrily: "What market reasons will prevent you from completing the purchase? I seriously suspect that it is your work mistakes. You'd better help me get these materials now. Buy it back, otherwise, I will go to the dean to complain to you."

The smile on the staff's face disappeared in an instant, and they said, "Professor Mars, if you must complain to us, you'd better do so now. Less, so there is a good chance it will be outlawed next term."

Mars was really furious now, and shouted: "What did you say?"

The staff still had a straight face and said: "I believe you have heard what I said clearly. I suggest you go back and think about it yourself. Go slowly and remember to close the door for me."

Mars is now in his fifties, and he wanted to continue to get angry, but he felt some pain in his chest. After glaring at the staff member fiercely, Mars put his hands on his chest and walked slowly towards the door.

Passing by a magazine rack, Mars picked up a copy of "Science". Of course, Mars would definitely not close the door, but instead opened it wider.

After returning to his laboratory, Mars sat down weakly. On the journey back to his lab, no matter how low his EQ was, Mars figured out the staff member's clumsy excuses and the reason for his fearlessness.

"Could it be that my experiment is really going to be shut down?"

Mars looked at this unusually simple laboratory and sighed.

As a professorial lecturer at Harvard Medical School, he could actually be better off. But it is a pity that he chose a very unpopular research project—limb regeneration!

Different from regenerative biology in the conventional sense, the limb regeneration technology studied by Mars is not by cracking the biological gene capable of limb regeneration, and then transplanting this regenerative ability into human beings.

His research direction runs counter to the mainstream regenerative biology. He wants to replace human limbs, skin and even internal organs with artificial objects to complete the treatment of limb regeneration.

"However, my research is the most suitable regeneration technology for human beings. How many monsters will be created by those researches that achieve regeneration by changing human genes? If human genes are changed, then human beings can still be called Is it human?"

Mars was very puzzled as to why he was in the current situation. In his opinion, his research direction should be the mainstream direction of human research on regenerative technology. However, the reality gave him a slap in the face. Not only has he not found a sponsor until now, but even the pitifully small research grants he received through his lectures at Harvard University are about to become a thing of the past.

After half an hour in a daze on the chair, Mars still looked weak.

When he was about to go back to rest, Mars realized that he was holding the latest issue of "Science" magazine in his hand.

"Hehe... Allow me to take this magazine, why not use the money to buy this magazine to fund my research."

Mars is now at the end of his rope, otherwise he wouldn't value the little money for buying magazines.

I casually opened the magazine, wanting to see what new papers or scientific and technological achievements appeared recently, but I didn't expect that the first page I opened was completely different from the previous "Science" magazine.

"Advertising?" Mars was surprised, and said to himself: "Has "Science" magazine also been reduced to the point where it needs to advertise?"

But in the next second, Mars jumped up from the chair in shock. He couldn't believe the content of the advertisement he saw.

"100 billion U.S. dollars? Will it be spent in three months? Recruiting scientific research institutions all over the world?" Mars said excitedly: "Is it my eyesight, or is the king of New Tuvalu going crazy again?"

Mars closed his eyes, then took a deep breath, opened his eyes again and looked at the advertisement published in the "Science" magazine.

After confirming that he read it correctly, Mars frantically rushed to the computer in the laboratory, then packed up his current research materials and sent them to the mailbox listed in the advertisement.

As for whether this is a scam in New Tuvalu?

Mars smiled wryly and said: "Even if the research materials are deceiving me, what's the point? I don't even know when I will be able to research them, and no one supports my research. What does it matter?"

…

After the latest issue of the "Science" magazine reached the hands of many researchers, it instantly triggered a huge storm in the academic world. Soon, these skeptical researchers saw the exact same content in dozens of authoritative academic journals around the world, such as "Academic", "Nobel", "Technology", etc. advertise.

Even, on these advertisements, there is an endorsement by the most popular person in the academic world recently.

"I'm Harvey, that's right, I'm the very lucky guy you mentioned. Here I want to tell you that New Tuvalu really has the best research environment in the world, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to develop a cure The method of cancer. Now, His Majesty the King has once again invested a research fund of 100 billion U.S. dollars. Although I really want to spend all the money on me. But I know that my research team cannot be spent, so when will you come over? ?”

Harvey has become the most envied person in many academic circles, not only because he has developed a cure for cancer, but also because he has received tens of billions of dollars in return.

How many scientists can turn their research results into tens of billions of dollars in profits? Although tens of billions of dollars is only 10% compared to the hundreds of billions of dollars in profits in the cancer treatment market, who would be dissatisfied?

The entire academic world is crazy, and everyone is jealous of the $100 billion research fund. Because they understand that no one project can require so much money, there must be dozens or even hundreds of projects to divide the research fund.

So, will there be a share of your own research team?

In the new Tuvalu King's villa, Ultron reminded: "Your Majesty, you have received 27,000 research plans and materials, do you need to start screening?"

Li Daniu laughed and said, "Of course! I don't want anyone to cheat me of my money."
