Shocking! This student is phenomenal!

"Oh, I'd like to hear more about it."

Su Jiang became interested and asked.

After all, the problems with scientific research in China are best understood by these few people who have been immersed in the field for a long time.

Qin Siyuan straightened up, leaned back in the small plastic chair, and glanced at Wang Delin.

Meeting Qin Siyuan's gaze, Wang Delin nodded slightly.

Qin Siyuan then spoke:

"Su Jiang, your research institute should do more applied physics research and as little theoretical physics research as possible."

"Of course, this applies not only to physics, but also to mathematics, chemistry, biology, and other subjects."

Upon hearing this, Su Jiang frowned slightly, but before he could ask any questions...

Qin Siyuan seemed to know Su Jiang's problem.

He immediately began to explain:

"Su Jiang, do you know how much our country relies on imports?"

In response, Su Jiang saw many statements made by so-called economists online, so he replied:

"Isn't China the world's factory? Apart from some resources that we don't have domestically and have to rely on imports, aren't we mainly export-oriented in all other light and heavy industries?"

"After all, many of our domestic industries have complete industrial chain systems."

"There probably isn't such a comprehensive system abroad."

He was actually quite proud when he said these things.

After all, China is indeed a major exporting country.

The annual export volume is astonishing, so he proudly shared his views with Qin Siyuan, Wang Delin, Wu Hongji, and the others.

However, he had barely finished speaking.

Qin Siyuan shook his head vigorously.

Wang Delin and Wu Hongji also sighed.

"Isn't that right?"

Su Jiang and Lin Wanqing were somewhat confused by their actions.

Is the truth different from what they know?

"Why."

Qin Siyuan also let out a long sigh.

"Our country's advantage lies in its vast territory and large population, so we can use quantity to overwhelm it and become the world's large factory."

"But you should know that much of the money that China works so hard to earn eventually flows back to developed countries like the United States and Japan."

"For example, many of the small electronic devices we use may have key components imported from abroad."

"For example, many of the parts in our cars, especially the chips, are imported from abroad."

"And then there are all those diagnostic instruments in our hospital, like CT scanners and MRI machines. Many of them are imported from abroad. China may seem like a major industrial country, but we can't make these things ourselves."

Following Qin Siyuan's words, Wang Delin also offered some explanations.

"Actually, many of these things use very common physics principles, but we just can't produce them."

"So when we study physics, sometimes we wonder, what's the point of investing so much money in theoretical physics in the end?"

"Do these so-called good research results, published in those major international journals, really help ordinary Chinese business owners?"

"It's difficult, but if we can apply the theoretical physics knowledge well, it can greatly improve people's living standards."

After Wang Delin finished speaking, Qin Siyuan didn't give Su Jiang any time to pause and continued:

"Look at how many hospitals, big and small, there are in our China."

"There are many patients who could have received medical care right at their doorstep, but because these devices can only be imported and are very expensive, many rural hospitals simply cannot afford them."

"This has led to many patients having to go to large hospitals in the city to queue for examinations. Not only is it expensive, but it also wastes a lot of time. They have to queue, and some even have to make an appointment a week later."

Upon hearing this, Su Jiang and Lin Wanqing understood.

For example, when they go to the hospital now, they often find that there are long queues for CT scanners and MRI machines.

There are too few machines and too many people, so the process is slow and expensive.

After all, the money comes from the sheep.

A CT scan typically costs at least 300 yuan, while an MRI is even more expensive, costing at least 500 yuan.

Ultimately, the reason lies in the fact that China is not capable of producing these machines on its own.

If China could produce these devices domestically, the price and cost of these equipment would be driven down immediately.

With reduced costs, naturally, the number of machines installed increased.

The testing costs for each patient will be lower.

"Su Jiang, these research areas are quite challenging for our Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and even less so for other universities."

"Therefore, applied physics is indeed a very good direction for your company's research, and I hope you can seize the opportunity."

Having discussed these important matters, Wang Delin and Qin Siyuan lost interest in eating hot pot.

The two of them talked for a long time, one after the other.

Finally, he nodded.

"I understand what you've said, and I will consider it carefully."

Indeed, what Su Jiang wants to do is a very large empire. Now, with the advice of several elders, Su Jiang understands even more clearly how he should proceed in the future.

No wonder people say that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. With these old folks, you can indeed get a lot of good advice on the road of life.

"By the way, Su Jiang, when are you and Wanqing getting married?"

After finishing talking about the research institute, Wu Hongji suddenly blurted out this sentence.

"Huh? This?"

Su Jiang and Lin Wanqing were both taken aback; the topic had changed too quickly.

How did the conflict suddenly escalate to their personal matters?

"Old Wu, we're still young. We're still in high school. Even if we're going to get married, shouldn't we wait until we graduate?"

Su Jiang glanced at Lin Wanqing, then said sullenly.

Although Lin Wanqing felt somewhat uncomfortable upon hearing this, after all, girls always need a sense of security.

However, Lin Wanqing also supported Su Jiang's words.

After all, he's only a freshman.

"Oh, people in ancient times had children as young as sixteen or seventeen."

Wu Hongji said it casually.

"Ah, this..."

Su Jiang was completely stunned.

Are you really a university professor?

He was still a hypocritical feudalist.

We strongly urge Tsinghua University to thoroughly investigate whether Wu Hongji's ideology is correct.

"Hmph, now that you have money and means, you can't bully Wanqing. She's my student, and I'm not only responsible for her studies, but also for her life."

"Back then, Wanqing had a deep affection for you, and she told me she liked you more than once."

Wu Hongji didn't make things difficult for Su Jiang, and just snorted.

Now everyone understands.

It turns out he was supporting his student Lin Wanqing because he saw how outstanding Su Jiang was.

She was afraid that as Su Jiang's circumstances improved, he would no longer want Lin Wanqing.

"Teacher Wu!"

Lin Wanqing was somewhat embarrassed by Wu Hongji's words.

Can these words be said in public like this?
