Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

"Dear Professor Lv Yongchang, in view of your many breakthroughs in cutting-edge science and technology and your outstanding contributions to the Xia Kingdom, you have been nominated as a candidate for the Xia Kingdom's National Highest Science and Technology Award. The results will be announced at the National Science and Technology Award Conference next week. Please be sure to attend!"

Looking at the lines of big words on the letter paper in his hand, Lv Yongchang took a deep breath.

"Is this... is the chairman of the parliament serious?"

Lv Yongchang's eyes were slightly shaken.

He had never received this award in his previous life.

The reason is naturally very simple.

In his previous life, when he was eligible for this award, the Xia Kingdom had already become part of the Human Union, so naturally there was no such thing as the Xia Kingdom's National Highest Science and Technology Award.

"Of course I am serious."

Fang Xu's voice interrupted Lv Yongchang's thoughts: "Do you think the chairman of the parliament would joke about this kind of thing?"

"This is the highest level award among the five Xia Kingdom National Science and Technology Awards, tut tut tut..."

Fang Xu's voice was full of envy.

No scientific researcher can resist the temptation of this award.

Lv Yongchang stretched out his finger and gently brushed the large gold-plated characters on the letter paper, and his heart trembled slightly.

The thin letter paper seemed to carry an inexplicable weight at this moment, pressing deeply on his heart.

Since the founding of Xia State, not many people have won this level of award.

In a sense, this is actually similar to the so-called Lifetime Achievement Award.

Therefore, this award is generally awarded to older scientific researchers.

The fact that the chairman of the parliament was able to make an exception and award the award to him, a young man of only 21 years old, undoubtedly gave him great trust and encouragement!

Fang Xu on the side looked at the letter paper in Lv Yongchang's hand eagerly and swallowed slightly.

"Yongchang, you are also sitting at the top of Xia State's academic world!"

Lv Yongchang chuckled, folded the letter paper in his hand and put it in his pocket.

"What are you talking about? It's just a nomination. I don't know if I won the award!"

Fang Xu curled his lips and didn't reply.

In his opinion, unless the judges were kicked in the head by a donkey, this award would definitely belong to Lv Yongchang.

As for the so-called candidate list and award ceremony... it's just a formality.

...

One week later.

Sandaokou University.

The office of the dean of the School of Nuclear Physics.

"Knock knock knock!"

Hearing the rapid knock on the door, Jiang Yongxing subconsciously looked up at the clock on the desk.

10:18 in the morning.

He frowned slightly.

"Who is it?" Jiang Yongxing put down the pen in his hand and asked loudly outside the door.

"Me!"

"Tian Zhixuan!"

Hearing the loud voice outside the door, Jiang Yongxing was stunned for a moment, then stood up and walked quickly to the door and opened it.

"Old Tian? Why are you here when you're not staying at your School of Materials?"

Looking at Tian Zhixuan's excited face outside the door, Jiang Yongxing frowned even deeper: "What? Have you made any new breakthroughs?"

Tian Zhixuan's expression froze, and his eyes suddenly became a little weird.

"You... don't know?"

Jiang Yongxing frowned and shook his head.

"Oh! Let me in first, I'll tell you slowly!" Tian Zhixuan waved his hand carelessly, spread his legs and walked towards Jiang Yongxing's office, "By the way, do you have a TV in your office?"

Jiang Yongxing nodded gently, turned sideways to open the door of the office, and welcomed Tian Zhixuan in.

"Old Tian, ​​what's the matter?"

Looking at Tian Zhixuan sitting on the sofa calmly, Jiang Yongxing's eyes became more and more puzzled.

Tian Zhixuan didn't say anything, but just reached out to turn on the TV next to him and tuned it to the Xiaguo News Channel.

Looking at the golden and red hall on the TV screen, Jiang Yongxing couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

He frowned and looked at the date, with a hint of realization in his eyes, but then, this hint of realization was covered by a heavier doubt.

"I remember correctly, this should be the National Science and Technology Awards Conference, right?"

"Why? You came here today just to show me this?"

Jiang Yongxing returned to his seat in a bad mood: "I don't remember anyone in your School of Materials winning any award!"

Tian Zhixuan's eyes became more and more strange.

He turned his head to look at Jiang Yongxing and asked softly: "Old Jiang, have you really not heard the news?"

Jiang Yongxing's eyes were more confused and doubtful: "What news?"

"Lv Yongchang has been nominated for the National Highest Science and Technology Award!"

Jiang Yongxing's pupils shrank slightly, and he stood up from his chair suddenly, with both hands on the desk in front of him: "What?!"

"Are you telling the truth?!"

Tian Zhixuan didn't say anything nonsense, but just pointed at the TV: "If you don't believe it, you can watch it yourself and find out, right?"

As soon as the voice fell, the national anthem of the Xia Kingdom came from the TV.

The conference began.

Jiang Yongxing's eyes moved, staring at the TV in front of him.

"Since ancient times, energy has always been the biggest obstacle to human progress."

"From the steam age to the electric age."

"From coal-fired power generation to wind and hydropower generation."

"We are thinking about energy issues all the time."

"..."

Hearing this series of award speeches, Jiang Yongxing's eyes flashed with a trace of trance.

"It's settled." Tian Zhixuan's voice came from the side, "This highest science and technology award belongs to this kid Lv Yongchang!"

The next moment, a voice came from the TV.

"... Now, please welcome the winner of the National Highest Science and Technology Award, Professor Lv Yongchang!"

As the music and applause sounded, the TV screen cut to Lv Yongchang.

Looking at the slightly immature face in the screen, Jiang Yongxing and Tian Zhixuan fell into silence.

After a long time, Jiang Yongxing sighed for a long time: "There are talented people in every generation, and each of them has been leading the trend for hundreds of years!"

...

Standing on the podium, looking at the various eyes of the people below the stage, Lv Yongchang couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Even with his experience, when he heard his name, his heart couldn't help but twitch violently.

After all, as a researcher in Xia Country, the symbolic significance of this award is extremely huge!

Just when he was a little dazed, the figure of the head of the parliament appeared on the side of the podium.

Councillor Li walked up to the stage slowly and handed the medal and certificate in his hand to Lv Yongchang solemnly.

"Keep working hard!"

Councillor Li smiled: "I'm waiting for the scene you describe to me!"

As he spoke, Councillor Li reached out and gently patted Lv Yongchang on the shoulder.

Lv Yongchang was slightly stunned, and then realized that the councillor was talking about the Heavenly Court Plan.

He nodded vigorously, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Councillor, don't worry, Xia Kingdom will never perish!"

"Click!"

The flash came on, and this scene was permanently recorded by the camera next to it.
