But in the present, even the influence of the "sage" will not return to the past.

After a long-term entertainment and relaxed living environment, the thinking mode of the Knicks has changed dramatically, and the cult phenomenon of the sages has gradually disappeared.

Major media prefer to report eye-catching gossip news, or entertainment news, after all, attract attention to make money.

Serious themes seem too tiring, there are too few people like, and no one will be slowly eliminated.

And on the other hand, since the beginning of the Eutideon era, after the end of the golden age that lasted for a hundred years, there have been few major discoveries in the scientific community, and few inspiring big events have occurred.

In particular, physics, since the completion of the Standard Model hundreds of years ago, the time behind it has been almost stagnant!Quantum computers are the last breakthrough!

The other sages at the back have made significant contributions in the life sciences, not in physics.

Baxter, for example, was a brilliant biologist in his own right who now has to worry about it...

Physicists . . . are too incongruous, not uncontroversial, and give them too little research funding.

The Large Hadron Collider spent tens of billions of dollars, did not find any, and wasted a lot of money; controlled nuclear fusion, which has not been made for hundreds of years; the large space station, which has long been crashed, has this thing in addition to being forced?

The Knicks, more than 0.6 light-years away from the stars, where can they go?

Especially now that energy is running out and there are signs of deflation, ordinary people are becoming more and more demanding.

This is also a problem, that is also a difficult encounter, have been experiencing difficulties for hundreds of years, who is willing to invest?It was also a white vote.

The Knicks’ sages, especially physicists, seem to be in a huge run.The complexity of science is getting higher and higher, no matter which aspect is difficult to have a big breakthrough, but without a breakthrough, there is no money to invest in, no money, no development; without development, there is no new blood pouring in, become talent withered.

It’s a vicious cycle, and this dilemma has been going on for a long time.

Both the government and the investors are too impetuous and eager to get an immediate return from their investment.This concept has weakened the enthusiasm of the Knicks for high-tech research, because the more things are, the more difficult it is to produce results.

In the face of Baxter's proposal, one of the senior officials said: "... we hope that our sports coaches can improve their performance in two years and leave; politicians only have two, four or six years of tenure and then leave."In these areas, there is only a short period of time, from investment to return.”

"If you can't get out of the way, you have to go down."

“So when someone tells you that it’s going to be 10 or 100 years from now, it’s hard to buy it.”

“Mr. Baxter, you know, it’s the world of capital, and it’s not the government that matters.We can only apply to Parliament as much as possible... whether we can apply or if we can apply, or two things...”

The sage Baxter sighed, not just it, but the group of scientists behind it.

The whole world turned into this way, making them feel strange.

Even if the end of the world comes, a hundred years later, this group of ignorant people is still immersed in their fantasy countryside... this is almost unimaginable.

But this is the case for ordinary people, who will only look at the economic benefits of the immediate years, or even the immediate months.

Decades or a hundred years from now is still a little far away.

Those who can consider ten years later are already elite; those who consider thirty years later are like heroes; consider that people who are a hundred years from now are called civilized leaders.

But in the face of the tide of democracy, even the call of the leaders seems so powerless.

For capital or the people, those who make you have a bad life tomorrow are the enemy by minute, and tomorrow will let you step down.

Invest in technology?It depends on what it is, it can be achieved!

Changing the public’s mindset is hard.

“Do they really think that technology is still advancing?”One of the scientists said indignantly.

Yes, people really think so in their hearts.

However, Baxter's heart is very clear, although the variety of technology is now emerging, but in the eyes of really smart people, these things are not as practical as carvings.

The man who invented the carving technique was a pioneer, great.

The person who carved the first apple with carving technology is an innovation and great.

But the people behind, constantly using carving techniques, carving pears, apples, bananas, strawberries... every result can be a paper.What is this?Is this also scientific innovation?

Now, most of the scientific and technological progress is the progress of the IT class... It is true that it is indeed progressing, but the depth is also beginning to stagnate, but the breadth is getting higher and higher.

Well, the media and the general public think so.Everyone is obsessed with this scientific development... They still believe that they are in the era of the explosion of science and technology.

“Mr. Baxter, what you are worried about is very reasonable indeed.But is nuclear fusion engineering that has been developed for so long really feasible?”

At the banquet, the Prime Minister of Balgaria finally said: "In the face of energy shortage, we can also develop energy-saving technologies and extend the time it comes."Uranium ore deep in the Earth's crust, or even seabed resources, could also be developed.”

"The amount of uranium used on the surface is less than one-thousandth of the planet's total?The vast majority of energy is lurking underground, and there is a lot of room for development.So I’m very supportive of this nuclear fusion project, but only as an alternative.”

Baxter turned his head in disappointment, and the prime minister was about to step down, unwilling to have more trouble at such a time.

As for "developing the underground, developing the seabed", it is purely a political slogan.

Is it possible?

Possible, but difficult.

The depth of more than 20,000 meters under the sea and the surface of the ice shell hundreds of meters thick have brought great engineering difficulties.At most, the development of a little shallow sea area, how much can be developed, no one knows.

As for the deeper resources underground, do the Knicks still dare to dig into the mantle layer?The Knicks’ technology has not yet been able to contain the extent of volcanic eruptions.

So, this is just a political slogan, but the people believe it...

Yes, the planet does have a lot of energy, which is currently less than one in 10,000.As for how to dig, that is something to consider after a hundred years.

“So be it!”

Baxter eventually gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "I am willing to sell all of my shares in the bio-company as the start-up capital of the nuclear fusion project, and I hope that governments can put some shares in it..."

The Prime Minister seemed shocked to hear this sentence, and he was thinking about the feasibility of this solution.

Because of the reliable character of the sage, as well as good influence, some rich people also began to move.They think that if all the high-tech talents in the world are gathered, this thing may be feasible... so it is cost-effective to enter some shares at this time.

Soon, under the call of the sages, a large number of rich people, a group of investors and the governments of the world began to raise funds, and this controllable nuclear fusion project reached an unprecedented 18,000 billion yuan!

$180 billion!

This kind of funding is a big deal in history!The "nuclear fusion" project has attracted the attention of everyone in the world for the first time.

The Uttton Nuclear Fusion Research Center was established!The study is named after the great men of history, indicating the ambition of these groups of scientists.

The group of scientists concentrated in the city of Thor is also unprecedentedly luxurious, and can be said to be the most intelligent group of people in the whole civilization.

They want to launch a general attack on "controllable nuclear fusion" technology and try to conquer it before the energy crisis occurs!

Now the money has arrived, I believe it is no longer a problem of money, everyone to do it!

Baxter looked at the established headquarters and thought...
