After hearing Vice Dean Zhang, even Minister Qi fell silent for a moment. As the leader responsible for the field of scientific research, he was equally aware of the issues facing scientific research in China. Many times, he felt a deep sense of indifference.
The disconnect between generations is a very real problem in China's scientific research field. Therefore, although he did not agree with Vice Dean Zhang's approach, he still recognized his original intention; at least his starting point was good.
"However, you shouldn't buy trending topics to hype up the robot competition; it's just too obvious..." Minister Qi couldn't help but comment. This was done so clumsily that anyone with clear eyes could see it was paid for; it would be strange if netizens didn't collectively 'attack' it!
"Xiao Zhang, give me the phone so I can talk to Xiao Qi." The elder, who leaned on a cane and had difficulty walking, quickly spoke up. His words startled Vice Dean Zhang, who hurriedly handed over the phone without any hesitation.
"Xiao Qi..."
"Yes, Elder Qi, go ahead!" Minister Qi's face changed several times as he slowed his speech, his tone very sincere and subtly respectful and cautious. He knew that Elder Qi had a name with the Grand Elder and had even been received by the leadership last year, receiving a medal from him.
This was a person who had weathered many storms and dedicated his life to the New China; just this alone made him admire him greatly.
"Elder Qi paused for a moment, organizing his thoughts and said, 'The success or failure of a country's scientific research depends largely on the younger generation. For those of us who are already halfway buried in the ground, our days of contributing to the country are actually numbered.
In the 1990s, it was widely said that 'selling tea eggs is better than researching atomic bombs!' Many important researchers in various fields have left their posts, leading to numerous projects failing and severely dragging down the development of science and technology in our country.
In recent years, we have just begun to regain our vitality, and now we find ourselves at another critical juncture. The younger generation is busy chasing stars, eager to become big names, idols, top influencers, singers, or internet celebrities, yet very few are willing to become scientists. This indicates that the scientific atmosphere in our country is gradually declining.
Being a scientist often means taking on heavy research tasks and engaging in endless discussions and explorations, with pain and loneliness constantly tormenting the hearts of researchers. They are tirelessly making breakthroughs in the field of science, yet all of this may remain unknown to the public.
Chasing stars is not inherently wrong, but the younger generation should understand what kind of stars are truly worth pursuing...'
As he finished speaking, the words of this octogenarian carried a hint of earnestness, and his eyes sparkled as if he could see a red sun rising above the horizon, bringing boundless vitality.
'Elder Qi, rest assured, my call to Old Zhang is not to hold him accountable; it's not that serious,' Minister Qi quickly explained. 'I will definitely convey your hopes for the younger generation to him.'
'In that case, I will contact Central Mother and arrange for them to set up a Science Forum in due time. I hope you and all the Big Shots can make an appearance and engage with the kids?'"
He shouldn't get too involved in the matter of online fishing reels, but he certainly has a lot to say about traditional media. As for various influencers on social platforms like Weibo, who deliberately distort information to capitalize on clickbait, it's not the right time to deal with them. Once the heat of this issue passes, we can hold each one accountable and handle it according to the law.
"Alright, Xiao Qi, thank you," he said.
"Hey, there's no need to be so polite with me! Shall we leave it at that for now? Take care of yourself!"
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he hung up the phone.
Looking back at the trending topic he purchased, the overall sentiment regarding fishing reels had clearly shifted to a more positive tone. Rational voices began to emerge.
"National Robot Competition?"
"Can this robot transform like Transformers?"
"If it can, that would be a man's romance!"
"What do you mean by 'man's romance'? I studied mechanics too, even though I'm currently operating an excavator at a construction company!"
"Some people just can't mind their own business. As one of the top universities, Pantech University should decide how to spend its research funds without interference from outsiders."
Just three hours later, the National Robot Competition, which was originally trending at over forty, shot up to sixth place on the trending list. Even a large number of Official WeChat Accounts like Purple Gold Pavilion began to repost and comment in support.
At this moment, the influencers who were sensitive to current events suddenly realized something was off. Some noticed that certain influencers who had been deliberately stirring up negativity had quietly deleted their outrage-filled comments and instead praised Pantech University for this National Robot Competition, expressing their interest and expectations.
"Hahaha, these haters are just typical fence-sitters; they sway whichever way the wind blows."
"You have a knack for stirring trouble; why don't you just go all the way? Don't be so cowardly!"
"Haha, watching the excitement without caring about the chaos, just waiting for the influencer to be invited for tea!"
"What's tea compared to this? I think giving them a silver bracelet would be more reliable."
"Just a reminder to all brothers and sisters, check out the other posts from the big V on Weibo; there are surprises!"
"Oh my God, turns out it's an old trickster! Everyone, report this wave with me!"
In recent years, the interactive activities organized by Weibo have been exploited by a large number of influencers.
Some have started to pursue "bad publicity is still publicity," deliberately expressing bizarre and skewed viewpoints to provoke others into criticizing them.
The most frustrating part is that the more people criticize them, the more money they make!
The National Robot Competition at Pantech University has gained immense popularity, leading to increased attention on Ji Yuan's robot-making videos as well.
The comments and likes are countless!
The heat has shot up to eleventh place on the trending list, closely following the official news of Pantech University's National Robot Competition.
