Chapter 393 The position has been reserved for you
When the applause slowly fell, the old man continued in a loud voice: “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The success of Jinwu No. 1 is also inseparable from our persistence and exploration of controlled nuclear fusion…”
After hearing this, many people at the scene couldn’t help but change their faces slightly.
Because this is obviously not another summary of Kang Chi, but a foreshadowing of the next winner! Many people’s first reaction was that it was a bit outrageous and unfair…
”…Not only has the Eastern Super Ring always been in the leading position in the field of international controlled nuclear fusion, its accumulated valuable experience is also the key to the successful ignition of Jinwu No. 1. At the same time, Luzhou Plasma Research Institute has also taken the initiative to assume responsibility in the Jinwu No. 1 project to help the rapid advancement of the research and development project…”
The old man paused for a moment before continuing to announce solemnly:
”The second winner of the High Science and Technology Award is from the Luzhou Plasma Research Institute of Huazhong University of Science and Technology-Academician Zhong Weijian!”
As soon as the voice fell, everyone’s eyes immediately focused on Zhong Weijian,
And Zhong Weijian was also confused at this time. This year’s two places were all given to controlled nuclear fusion? To be honest, if Kang Chi hadn’t joined suddenly, he might have been a strong contender for this award in a few years.
But under Kang Chi’s leadership, controlled nuclear fusion has been ignited in advance.
And Kang Chi’s leading role in the entire Jinwu No. 1 is unquestionable, and no one has any objection to his winning the award.
Therefore, including Zhong Weijian, everyone thought that when Kang Chi won this supreme honor, it also meant that Zhong Weijian and the scientific crown of controlled nuclear fusion were basically out of luck…
But who would have thought that the country not only gave him this honor, but also gave it to him at the same time in one year!
Even though the scene gradually began to sound warm applause, Zhong Weijian still felt a little unbelievable…
Even Kang Chi was very surprised by this result.
But soon, he realized that there were actually several very critical reasons behind the leader’s decision.
First, the epoch-making significance of controlled nuclear fusion itself has the qualification to take up two places, which is the basis of everything.
Second, whether Zhong Weijian himself is qualified.
This is actually beyond doubt. The achievements of the Eastern Super Ring have been obvious to all. Even if it fails in the end, its research on plasma can greatly promote the progress of multiple disciplines and fields. Moreover, if Kang Chi had not joined, it is estimated that the magnetic confinement route would have to continue for at least ten years before it could find the real bottleneck. By then, Zhong Weijian might have retired.
Even if he had not retired, being able to complete trial and error on a technical route and prove that it really doesn’t work is actually a huge scientific achievement.
Just like the fact that Bell’s inequality was proven to be invalid, it is a trial and error result, which can also win the Nobel Prize.
Therefore, before retiring, he is completely likely to be awarded this award based on his life’s achievements.
In addition, when Kang Chi designed Jinwu No. 1, he did absorb a lot of experience in domestic controlled nuclear fusion research. Jinwu No. 1 was completely based on the shoulders of the giant Eastern Super Ring to achieve success at such a fast speed.
And Zhong Weijian absolutely contributed to these experiences.
Finally, and perhaps the most important reason, this is to continue to build momentum for Kang Chi and give him a ‘step’.
Just imagine, if the second winner today is not Zhong Weijian, then if nothing unexpected happens, he may never get the highest science and technology award in his life…
Even if Zhong Weijian himself has no objection to such a result, what about others? If Kang Chi wants to do research in other fields in the future, will everyone have some concerns about him because they think that his joining will take away everyone’s credit? But now Zhong Weijian has also won the award directly, and the result is completely different.
This can let everyone know clearly that Kang Chi’s joining will not only not take away their peaches, but may accelerate their accumulation of academic achievements.
So this is to completely clear the obstacles for Kang Chi’s future path, and he may even become the most popular person in the academic world because of this.
Of course, the corresponding price paid for this decision is that it may make this year’s strong competitors feel a little bit resentful.In fact, if Kang Chi had spoken out about lunar mining and the second-generation controlled nuclear fusion earlier, the leader might have waited until Zhong Weijian helped Kang Chi to develop the second-generation nuclear fusion before giving him the award, which might be the best result.
But Kang Chi is not a prophet. Even if he knew, he would still say what he should say. There is no need to hold back Academician Zhong. It is also good for the two of them to go on stage together to receive the award.
”Awesome, a scientific research project, actually won two high science and technology awards!”
”After all, it is controlled nuclear fusion.”
”Really the first year of controlled nuclear fusion!”
”One person’s success brings success to the chickens and dogs!”
”As long as President Kang is willing to take me flying, I am willing to be a chicken.”
”Please leave the position of the dog to me!”
”…”
Just as netizens on the Internet were discussing this, the people at the conference slowly stopped their hands.
Although they all had a strong urge to discuss, no one would raise any objections at this time due to the solemn atmosphere.
Ordinarily, after announcing the winner of an award, they would go on stage to receive the award, but unexpectedly, the old man’s voice rang again.
”Humanity’s curiosity about nature constantly drives us to explore the unknown world. The earth is the cradle of mankind, but mankind cannot be bound to the cradle forever…”
After hearing this, everyone was stunned.
There is more?
This year, for the first time, three high science and technology awards will be awarded!
High! Really high!
Even Kang Chi couldn’t help but secretly give the leader a thumbs up.
Special treatment for special circumstances, not sticking to conventions, weighing all parties, and being fair also requires courage.
And it is not difficult to guess from this opening speech that this must be given to the field of aerospace research.
The aerospace leaders who originally thought they had no chance of winning this year’s high science and technology award could not help but get a little nervous at this moment. They sat upright and pricked up their ears to continue listening…
”…The moon is the first threshold for mankind to go into deep space. Studying the moon can also help solve many mysteries that trouble mankind itself, such as the formation of the earth, the origin of mankind, and whether there is life outside the earth…”
”For many years, the Chang’e lunar exploration project of the Lunar Exploration and Space Engineering Center of the National Space Administration has greatly promoted the country’s technical strength in the fields of aerospace telemetry, measurement and control communications, and deep space exploration, and has achieved many world-renowned results, which profoundly interprets the important significance of lunar exploration in laying the foundation for the future of mankind. ”The third winner of the National Highest Science and Technology Award is: Academician Li Xinqiang, chief designer of the Chinese lunar exploration project! ”
The scene was immediately filled with thunderous applause, especially from the scientific researchers in the field of aerospace, who all gave the warmest applause to this main pillar of China’s aerospace industry.
With the announcement of the three winners, the familiar award music finally sounded at the scene.
Amidst the applause, the three winners slowly walked up to the podium in the order of the list announcement.
After receiving the bright red certificate from the old man, Kang Chi immediately said thank you with a solemn face.
”It should be the country that thanks you, thank you for your efforts and contributions to the prosperity of the country and the great rejuvenation of the nation! ”
After hearing this, Kang Chi couldn’t help but feel his heartbeat speed up, his blood boiling, and his whole spirit was a little dazed…
When the applause sounded again from the audience, Kang Chi couldn’t help but look around and saw countless pairs of eyes full of excitement and hope, all gathered on his face at this moment.
A sense of satisfaction he had never experienced before enveloped him completely.
When this sense of satisfaction gradually faded, what remained was a stronger sense of responsibility and mission.
The great rejuvenation of the nation…
This slogan, which seemed somewhat distant before, is now, at this moment, on the two scales of space and time. It seemed to have drawn closer to him, and it was no longer just a slogan…
After taking a group photo, Kang Chi returned to his previous position with the certificate, and at the same time made eye contact with Zhong Weijian. From his eyes and stiff standing posture, it was not difficult to see that this old scholar, who was twice his age, was more nervous than him at this time…
Or, it could be said that Zhong Weijian had a great psychological burden to receive this award.
So after Kang Chi came back, he couldn’t help but whispered in his ear: “In fact, you don’t have to feel such a great burden. What the leader just said is absolutely correct. The valuable experience you have accumulated before is the key to the successful ignition of Jinwu No. 1.The key is, if it weren’t for your information, I would have never figured it out by myself. And you have made an indelible contribution to the manufacture of plasma injectors. ”
After listening to Kang Chi’s words, Zhong Weijian’s psychological burden suddenly lightened a lot. After nodding to Kang Chi gratefully, he straightened his chest and walked to the old man…
When Zhong Weijian received the award, Kang Chi turned his attention to Li Xinqiang again and nodded to him with a smile.
Kang Chi had heard of this big man in the aerospace field. His grandson Li Chen was also an old friend of Kang Chi. This happened to be the topic for the first communication between the two.
”How is Li Chen now?” Kang Chi took the initiative to talk, “Has he graduated?”
”Not yet. I took a leave of absence to shoot your movie. I have to go back to study for another year.”
”Uh… okay. ”
“It’s okay. It’s good to make a movie first and exercise a bit… By the way, I heard that you are going to go into aerospace next? If you don’t mind, I can ask my boss to let you take the position of chief designer of lunar exploration… Anyway, my old bones are almost unable to work.”
“Uh… Don’t do that! I still have several important projects to finish, and I’m exhausted every day.”
“Okay, come over as soon as you finish, the position of lunar landing has been reserved for you anyway. ”
“…”—— After the High Science and Technology Award was presented, there were four more awards to be presented, including the National Natural Science Award, the National Technological Invention Award, the National Science and Technology Progress Award, and the International Science and Technology Cooperation Award.
These awards have first and second prizes, and there are quite a lot of quotas, so the entire commendation conference took quite a long time.
If you are not a member of the scientific research community, or you are doing a zz mission, there are probably not many people who can watch the entire live broadcast. If the leader hadn’t been chatting with Kang Daoming all the time, it is estimated that after seeing Kang Chi receive the award, he would have turned off the TV in a few minutes, and then went to brag with his fishing friends…
“Is Academician Kang going home for the New Year this year?”
“Who knows?”
Speaking of this, Kang Daoming couldn’t help but nag in a dissatisfied tone: “This kid hasn’t been back to his hometown for the New Year for two or three years, and he asks us to go to Dongyang every year. ”
“To be honest, the feeling of celebrating the New Year in Dongyang is completely different from celebrating the New Year at home. It is so deserted that there is no New Year atmosphere at all. So we have decided not to go to Dongyang this year and celebrate the New Year in our hometown.”
“As for whether Xiaochi will come back or not, it depends on him. Anyway, he is now independent and we can’t control him.”
Liu Xuemei, who was sitting next to him and rarely spoke, suddenly interrupted and said, “I think your leaders should find a way to help us with this matter and don’t put too much pressure on Xiaochi.”
“Before, he said that when he built that plane, he could get home in an hour or two, and then he would eat at home every day. What happened?”
“The helipad at home has been built, but he hasn’t been seen for three or four months. The most annoying thing is that he was in Luzhou a few days ago. How far is Luzhou from us? He can come back in half an hour at most by driving his plane, but he still says he has no time! ”
“…”
Hearing Liu Xuemei’s slightly blaming tone, the leaders on the scene couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.
Director Li of the Organization Department quickly apologized with a smile: “This is indeed our work mistake. In the future, we will definitely ask Academician Kang to pay more attention to rest and go home more often.”
“That’s right. Although our Xiaochi is capable, you can’t tire him out. Otherwise, no matter how capable he is, it’s useless if he’s in poor health, right?”
“Go away, don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand.” Kang Daoming quickly interrupted Liu Xuemei, and then smiled at Director Li and said, “I know it’s not your fault. The legs are on the kid himself. If he wants to rest and go home, can anyone stop him? I think this kid doesn’t want to go home because he is annoyed by his mother’s urging.”
“Yes, yes, Uncle Kang is right. Who dares to stop Academician Kang! ”
Seeing Kang Daoming being so reasonable, Director Li was relieved.
”Well, Uncle Kang, Aunt Liu, I have a suggestion…”
”I heard that you have long wanted to travel to Yanjing, but Academician Kang has never had time to accompany you. It just so happens that he is in Yanjing now, and it is only a few days before the Chinese New Year. He must have nothing to do at this critical moment. After being busy for several months, he must have a few days of rest, right?”
”Otherwise, you can go to Yanjing to celebrate the Chinese New Year this year. You can go around before the New Year, take a look at the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, etc., and on New Year’s Eve, you can go to Yanjing to celebrate the Chinese New Year., and you can watch the Spring Festival Gala live. I guarantee that the New Year atmosphere will be absolutely amazing!”
Kang Daoming and Liu Xuemei were both excited after hearing this.
”Watch the Spring Festival Gala live?”
”Yes, and it’s the front row, so you can see it clearly!”
”Well…what if we go and Xiaochi doesn’t have time?”
”Don’t worry about that. If Academician Kang really doesn’t have time, can we still let you wander around Yanjing by yourself? We will definitely help you arrange your itinerary beautifully!”
