I Really Didn't Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World

Chapter 621: Chapter 396: The Old Thousand-Layer Cake_1

Harrison Clark discussed in detail his plans on how to focus on improving the living security of young scientific researchers.

Of course, top scholars with outstanding achievements, if they can complete epoch-making research and promise to share their knowledge with the association, will also have the opportunity to receive high bonuses.

Furthermore, the association only requires your knowledge without encroaching on your patents, and it does not monopolize.

The cooperation model emphasizes in-depth exchange, such as joining large-scale projects led by the association, being responsible for part of the technical challenges, or providing your ideas to the association, participating in assessing the significance of the prospects.

If the association recognizes your research, you may choose to accept research sponsorship and personal living support.

Different levels of sponsorship come with different conditions, but personal living support doesn’t require you to give up any additional rights.

If the association does not recognize your project, it has no right to forcibly stop you, but sponsorship should not be mentioned.

Harrison Clark’s association does not touch new patent rights or share the profits, its sole aim is to help top scientists evaluate whether their projects are meaningful or not.

The offer Harrison Clark made is very large. He hopes that they can stand up together to show their support, but Raulsen and others cannot make a decision immediately – they need to carefully consider.

Harrison was not surprised at their concerns.

Any new thing with significant historical significance, when born, will make people worry.

Furthermore, his association depends entirely on his noble sharing spirit and potentially vast financial support, which is still full of unknowns and may lead to stillbirth.

He is not in a hurry for people to decide, only to sow new seeds again.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the innovative projects are led by top scientists who are genuinely doing things, even if the research project is declared a complete failure, the failure itself still holds some value.

This value may only eliminate a wrong answer or discover some additional results during the process.

Assuming the projects across the globe with total investments of over 100 million yuan are sorted out, the following rough divisions can be made.

About 10% of the projects can exceed the expected goal, fulfilling the original plan, obtaining deeper conclusions or products, or some intermediate products with high value.

30% to 40% of the projects can just reach the expected goal. These types of projects are usually application-based scientific research and have strict planning for each phase from initiation to promotion. The project plan can be accurate to the completion of specific phases within specific months.

30% of the projects can be completed about halfway, involving both theoretical research and practical application.

About 30% of the projects fail completely. These projects usually start in the wrong direction from the beginning and cannot even deliver a reliable intermediate product.

The scientific researchers involved in these failed projects cannot be blamed.

Failure has the limitation of era-specific.

For example, ultra-low manufacturing process carbon structure chips and room-temperature superconducting metals, had it not been for his ability to directly give answers and lay out other related material science in the early 21st century, investing resources in these projects would have been a waste.

Letting some researchers involved in these projects go and grow sweet potatoes might make an even greater contribution to the era, as it minimizes losses.

The thing Harrison Clark wants to do most is to use his “foresight” to eliminate the last 30% of successful projects as much as possible.

Of course, this is also part of the work of the 500-Year Plan.

Mr. Clark believes it is time to get started.

In the past month when he was active in the 21st century, he spent most of his attention in the literary field.

That was because his strength was weak, and his influence was insufficient, making it inefficient to work in academia.

Now the situation is different, relying on the establishment of Summit Research Institute, the two versions of The Madman’s Conjectures Collection, and the words he spoke at Linton Research Institute, his academic influence has increased.

So when he saw an opportunity, he decisively began laying out his plans, trying to make the most of his advantage and knowledge of the future.

When he brings up a more profound leapfrog theory, he needs to be cautious to avoid misguiding others, but it is much easier to rule out incorrect answers.

When he sees a pitfall project, crushing it is definitely the right choice.

After almost everyone has finished their casual conversation, the conference formally begins, and everyone takes their seats.

Harrison Clark’s seat is quite close to the front row, with Raulsen on the left and Ethan Evans on the right.

One after another, well-known scholars take the stage to expound their views.

Unlike the groundless, sensational doomsday theories about extraterrestrial threats in the field of pseudoscience, those who can appear in this conference room and speak on stage are all credible.

This is a serious occasion, speakers cannot speak carelessly, and they must have sufficient persuasive support for their arguments.

For example, the first person to take the stage is an expert in the fields of artificial intelligence, computer programming, mathematics, and psychology.

He combines biology and computer science ideas perfectly, incorporating a lot of psychological knowledge and analyzing the direction of human brain thinking in a simple and clear way.

He believes that since the birth and evolution of mankind to this level, humans and human genes have been under the control of a higher civilization.

Human beings and their genes are products of ultra-high order programming.
