Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

“This is the power of technology!”

"The Maxim machine gun changed the battlefield forever."

"When there's a technological gap, it's useless no matter how many people there are..."

Xin Yuanjia and the others nodded frequently, marveling at Liu Hongyi's vast knowledge. They wondered where he had acquired all this knowledge. They could only attribute it to the over 100,000 foreign language books at Qinghua University.

But it is also a bit strange. What does this have to do with Liu Hongyi's great strategy?

Liu Hongyi continued, "So, no matter what time it is, whether a country is strong or not depends mainly on the level of technological advancement."

"Is that why you researched so many things?"

Xu Wenxin asked curiously.

Liu Hongyi shook his head and said, "My power alone is too insignificant and insignificant. The overall development of a country's science and technology depends on one crucial factor..."

"What factors?"

Xin Yuanjia and others stared at him with sharp eyes, as if they had begun to grasp the key points.

“That’s the number of scientific researchers.”

"As for other scientific research systems and environments, while they are also important, the number of scientific researchers is the most critical."

"Modern science and technology are too specialized. Each branch of science requires a large number of researchers to achieve breakthroughs. The situation in the past where a single genius scientist could drive the progress of an entire era is likely to disappear in the future."

"The brilliance of Newton and Einstein is difficult to replicate."

"Our country has a sufficient population base. However, if we want to train enough researchers from this billion-strong population, we must first address basic food and clothing needs. We must fully develop production, ensuring that society can produce sufficient materials, freeing more people from basic labor and allowing them to acquire more knowledge. Only then can we hope to produce more researchers and scientists."

"That's why, four years ago, I proposed to Comrade Ai Gaofeng and my father, Comrade Liu Chuan'an, that we must find ways and means to develop production at all costs."

"If we never have enough to eat during the day and can't afford oil lamps at night, how can we possibly train enough scientists?"

"So no matter what others think, in my opinion, developing production, popularizing education, and improving the nation's material civilization are the most important things. Only in this way can our country fully tap its potential and surpass those advanced Western countries in the shortest possible time."

“Only then will we truly have the confidence and ability to stand on our own among the nations of the world.”

"Time waits for no one. The current largely peaceful environment is so rare. We must firmly seize this window of opportunity for development."

Xin Yuanjia sighed deeply, but his eyes showed an expression of extreme relief and admiration.

“I see, so that’s how it is…”

"By solving this problem, you will naturally have a broad mind and a far-sighted vision!"

"I am far inferior to you..."

After returning to the county town from Guyuan Commune, Liu Hongyi immediately "convened" a meeting.

Of course, in name, Liu Chuan invited a few old friends to his home for dinner.

Sima Wu, Zhou Fanxin, Li Kaiyun, Li Songbai and others.

As juniors, Liu Hongyi and Ai Xiaoyu accompanied him.

The meal was not very sumptuous. We just bought a few bowls of steamed pork with rice flour from the office cafeteria, cooked a fish, fried a few other dishes, made a soup, and drank Chuzhou Daqu wine.

But it just fits Liu Chuan'an's honest and frugal character.

Everyone has long been accustomed to it.

Sima Wu liked to joke, "Hongyi, by this time next year, you should be graduating, right?"

The Class of 77 entered in the first half of 78, and the undergraduate program was still a four-year program, so they would graduate at the end of 81 or the beginning of 82.

"Yes, Uncle Sima, I will graduate at this time next year."

Liu Hongyi answered with a smile while busy pouring wine for the elders.
