Chapter 5489 There is motivation for independent innovation
The ancestor said calmly: "Two venerables, the creativity you understand is not the same thing as what I mean. The creativity I mean refers to people who have a certain accumulation of technology and a certain foundation.
On the basis of sufficient subjective motivation, he can develop new technological advancements in the industry he is engaged in and make the entire industry move forward. Judging from this standard, the examples you cited are not very suitable."
"First of all, although the tenants of these Jiangnan farms are engaged in farming, they do not master much technology, especially the technology to increase the output per unit acre, because this involves irrigation, water sources, and even the fertilizers applied.
There are requirements for use, seeds, and farm tools. The reason why aristocratic family manors can have higher output is that they have gathered the wisdom of everyone in collective production.
There are hundreds of thousands or millions of people engaged in farming. In the process of production by so many people, there will always be new discoveries or experiences. Even some small discoveries may be used on a large scale.
If it is widely promoted and used, it will also become a very significant technological progress. Of course, being able to provide these technological advances to others is an innovative ability. It does not mean that accidental discovery is innovation."
Doupeng murmured: "What you mean, ancestor, is that these innovations require a sufficient technical foundation and a certain amount of knowledge to be able to summarize and discover these new technological developments, and then
They are also willing to share these findings with others. Then managers will share these findings with a large number of practitioners in other industries and ask them to follow suit. In this way, these new discoveries
and new technologies will be quickly mastered and accepted by the public."
Heipao gritted his teeth and said, "Why should we share these new discoveries with others? If we just know these new discoveries ourselves, why should we tell others? In terms of human selfishness, not sharing is more likely."
The ancestor smiled slightly and said: "Because this is collective production. It's not like a small household that can hide its secrets. It's like a craftsman in a handicraft industry who often hides his craftsmanship and technology and prevents others from learning it. Even if
Even between a master and a disciple, one must keep a secret, for fear of teaching the disciple to starve the master to death, but in the process of collective mass production, there is no way to hide it."
"Just like the technology of making ordnance and armor, if it was made by individuals in the past, and when the government came to pick it up within a limited time, there would be all kinds of armor with different styles. However, since Liu Yu invented the method of filling sand with molten iron in the supply camp when he was young,
, after using a mold to make nail leaves,
This method of producing armor pieces in large quantities and quickly, and then combining them into strong armor, took shape quickly, so that the Beifu Army's sophisticated armor, which was difficult to produce before, could produce nearly 100,000 sets of armor in one or two years.
The entire army fighting the Feishui War. This is the power of technological innovation."
"If Liu Yu was like the ordinary craftsmen in the supply camp and was exiled to the supply camp because of his slave status or low status, with no future, no hope, and no freedom, then he would be thinking about how to develop new technologies all day long.
, do you want to do a better job at the job you are doing? I’m afraid he only thinks about completing tasks every day, or even procrastinates and slows down work for various reasons. This is human nature, laziness and selfishness.”
The black robe nodded: "I agree with the ancestor's statement, but even in the situation you mentioned, Liu Yu's willingness to share his findings and popularize this technology of making armor has nothing to do with freedom, because
Liu Yu entered the supply camp just because he made a mistake in a previous exercise and his companions were killed or injured. He will be punished under military law, but with Liu Yu's status, he will be transferred sooner or later.
He who returned to the Tiger Army knew this himself, so he did not regard himself as a slave or a sinner in the supply camp, but regarded the Beifu Army as his home. How could someone like him regard himself as a whole army, or even
How many soldiers are there who are placed above the many generals? Not everyone is engaged to a daughter of a noble family like Wang Miaoyin at this time."
Doupeng laughed: "Yes, Liu Yu's situation is too special and cannot be treated as a routine. Ancestor, if you want people to be willing to innovate and make inventions, they must be people with high authority, so that they can be satisfied
Your conditions are: first, you have enough knowledge and technology, and second, you have the motivation to share these new technologies. Only
Only when people who study and invent various technologies all day long make breakthroughs can they ask the people below to try them further. Moreover, these people must have enough initiative to make these new technologies mandatory.
If used in large quantities, this kind of use must be of sufficient benefit to these people."
Having said this, Doupeng paused and sneered: "Just like Liu Yu, when he was in the supply camp, he didn't really regard himself as a blacksmith. He still thought about how to fight and how to serve in the army all day long.
With neutral military merit, he could atone for his sins early, go back to continue his engagement, and continue his career in the army. He invented the hundred-refined steel iron knife and the mold.
The purpose of turning armor leaves is to have weapons and strong armor, which can help him charge into battle. Not only himself, but also the whole army can have these equipment, so that the battle can be won. Therefore, Liu Yu is doing it for
Only when the army can win the war is he willing to share these technologies. In the final analysis, the emergence of these new technologies is consistent with his own personal requirements."
The ancestor smiled slightly: "Yes, so isn't this what I mean by initiative? If there is no freedom and no hope, then inventing these new technologies will not benefit you personally. Who would be willing to do these things?
?So, only collective production can verify and promote new technologies, and individuals have enough motivation and ability to invent these new technologies. Both are indispensable, but once successful, it will have a great impact on the country where it is located.
The industry has received a huge boost.”
Heipao gritted his teeth and said: "Then Liu Yu is doing this now, making households into households for tenants and farmers, and dividing their land. How can these people who used to just farm the land have any initiative or accomplish anything?
Has technology progressed? What happened in Jiangbei has long proved that it is really
Those who can innovate and make progress in farming are not ordinary farmers, but the village leaders. These people are in charge. They live a good life under the aristocratic family. Why should they work for Liu Yu? They are the ones who are in charge.
People who really hide their secrets in technology!" (End of this chapter)
