"A country is composed of hundreds of millions of people, and everyone has a division of labor. Farmers grow food for everyone to prevent people from hunger; construction workers build cities so that we have a place to live; and master workers make goods so that we can enjoy them.
A better life, so what do we college students need to do?
It seems that we can’t do anything, but in fact we have to do everything. We can use knowledge to transform the world, use knowledge to expand agricultural production, use knowledge to build taller buildings, use knowledge to improve productivity, and create better quality products.
Products, this is the essential work of our college students.
But it is not easy to do this well. It requires a kind of spirit, that is, the spirit of innovation!
There are two kinds of innovation. One is invention and innovation, which creates things that did not exist before. For example, Watt invented the steam engine, which brought the whole world from agricultural society to industrial society. For example, Edison invented electrical appliances, which brought the world from the steam age.
The electrical age.
There is also improvement innovation, which is to improve technologies with low productivity to achieve higher efficiency. For example, Professor Xiong Huaizhi is leading the employees of Huaxia Industrial Technology Co., Ltd. to study German machine tools. Once a breakthrough is achieved, advanced machine tools will be localized.
, then our country’s industrial level will instantly increase several times, and many machines that could not be built before will no longer be a problem.
Our world was born through continuous invention, creation, evolution and improvement. With innovation, the world's productivity will become stronger and stronger. In the future, our farmers will drive automatic harvesters in the vast farmland.
Harvesting food, thousands of acres of land and thousands of tons of food can be harvested in one day; our construction workers
People will use the latest construction materials to build buildings hundreds of meters high. Standing on the top of the building, you can overlook the mountains; our workers will control advanced machine tools, create extremely precise instruments, and lead mankind into an unknown world.
fields, exploring the latest mysteries, these must be realized by us intellectuals.
I can tell you with certainty that scientific innovation is the ultimate driving force for the advancement of our entire human race. Everyone must work around scientific innovation. We intellectuals must study science, understand science, and then achieve innovation, while the national government
It is necessary to ensure the development of science, organize and coordinate the greatest strength, so that intellectuals can relax and innovate. Only in this way can a country and a nation become strong and prosperous. All crooked ways and conspiracies are nothing in front of them.
Just a monster.
So, how do we innovate scientifically? First of all, we keep learning and mastering a solid foundation is the foundation of innovation.
Innovation is a process of breaking the inherent thinking and breaking the original common sense, sometimes accompanied by challenging authority.
This not only requires us to have a strong reserve of knowledge, but also a questioning spirit. The essence of this spirit is loyalty to science, rather than obedience to authority... A great scientist must have a firm will.
Like Einstein, the whole world did not understand the theory of relativity, but he still discovered the secret of the universe. This is not accidental but inevitable, because all innovations are like jewels in the crown, and only the best talents can reach the top to pick them.
To that dazzling treasure!"
Liu Lang's speech is to tell everyone that as intellectuals, we must maintain the highest respect for science. What is science? Science is the most objective reflection of the world and will not be changed by human consciousness.
Why does water freeze? Why does the sun heat? These are objective laws. Scientists want to summarize objective laws in nature. Objective laws have existed there forever, waiting for people to discover them.
But discovering these laws is not an easy task. It requires scientists to have a firm will and sometimes even face life threats. For example, Bruno was burned alive by the church for defending the heliocentric theory.
Such things may seem absurd to modern people, but in fact they happen all the time. For example, if your research conflicts with some authoritative figures, it will cause losses to the other party, and you may be suppressed by the authoritative figures. In this case,
What would you do in this situation?
So this requires you to have a firm will.
After Liu Lang finished speaking, the students in the auditorium burst into the warmest applause, mixed with cheers. They were all students, and they were college students after the reform and opening up. They formed their own shape after being impacted by some foreign ideas.
values, the core of which are freedom and equality. These concepts coincide with Liu Lang's philosophy of not fearing authority.
The applause lasted for several minutes.
"I know why you are applauding, because we are all passionate young people who hope to be more free... I am the same, but in my heart, the foundation of freedom does not lie in letting go of some things, but in the construction of legal equality and fairness.
A healthy society is the criterion for a strong country. Our country is now in the early stages of reform and opening up.
There are various problems, which take time to build. They are not formed by a group of people. Just think of ourselves. We have made many mistakes in the process of growing up. These mistakes have allowed us to sum up experience and lessons, and then improve ourselves and the country.
The same is true. When he discovers his mistake, if he does not make changes, he will also be punished...
I always think again, what kind of world will the future be like?
In terms of science and technology, with the continuous development of science and technology, a large number of new things will appear in front of us. Fifty percent of the things we will need in ten years have not yet appeared now, and 100% of the things we will need in twenty years have not yet appeared.
, We don’t know now, for example, cars, there will be cars in the future, but the cars at that time no longer require people to drive themselves. The cars can drive themselves and be guided in real time through communication satellites all over the sky.
Buildings in the future will be four to five hundred meters high, with thousands or even tens of thousands of people living and working in one building, maximizing the use of space.
The future of communication has exceeded our imagination. We walk around with small phones in our hands, and the signals are transmitted through satellites. Even friends in the United States can answer my call immediately and communicate in real time!
At that time, the entire world was connected by advanced technology. We could know what was happening in the United States instantly. Similarly, all kinds of information about our country would be known abroad immediately. Human beings at that time had been integrated by technology.
The distance between hundreds of countries is no longer unreachable. This situation can be summarized in one word, that is, the global village. Our earth has become a village. If someone in China shouts, Americans can hear it immediately.
.
The country will also change under the impact of these powerful technologies. The so-called ideology has become unimportant. People are only concerned about whether they live a better life. This development is an inevitable trend and cannot be resisted, and many of you here
Everyone can see this trend coming.
All of us must look forward, and the things we do must move forward, and we must contribute to the development of the world, rather than act against the development of the world. As long as we control the development of the world,
If you follow the trend, you will become a trendsetter, and endless scenery will gradually appear in front of us.
All of us are at the juncture of a great historical process. The excitement of the next thirty years will far exceed the sum of the previous thousands of years. Therefore, I hope that everyone here will keep up with the pace of the times and stand high.
Appreciate the elegance when the great era comes, time flies, when this era enters the twenties
In the first century, when we look back at the present, we will realize how ridiculous and naive our current ideas are. I hope that by then, we people will sit together again and reflect on everything that has happened in these years. This will be our
The best twenty years of my short life, not a bitter memory!"
