Lord of Industrialization

The previous four Golden Durian Award Ceremonies of the Wessen Science Society were all held in the auditorium of Wesenberg University. In addition to the winners, the attendees were scholars. It is inconvenient to travel far now, so the number of people is not large, and the auditorium is sufficient. .

On August 8, 1034, the Fifth Golden Durian Award Ceremony was postponed for more than half a month to catch up with the First World Expo. In order to expand its influence and popularity, Psyche invited many dignitaries and businessmen from various countries. The venue was arranged in a football stadium north of Weissenburg.

Frank, Florence and Jurgen had dinner early, put on their formal clothes, and arrived at the venue in the family carriage.

Since Diesel's research field shifted from air guns to implosion engines and achieved great success, there have been more and more new types of transportation in Weissenburg.

Frank has been envious of masters who ride in horse-drawn carriages since he was a child, so even now that he has become the Minister of Health and the family has a van sent by Frederick, he still travels by horse-drawn carriage.

Frank urged the driver to hurry up several times along the way. Jurgen had the intention to say that it would be better to start driving the van, but he still endured it.

A stage was set up in the middle of the football field, with small round tables placed in front. Three or four VIPs could sit around each table, and the auditorium further away was open to ordinary people.

In front of the stage is the band pit, where the Wesson family's newly formed symphony band using new instruments is playing soothing music.

Frederick's table was in the middle of the first row, with royal members of various countries and tonight's winners extending out on both sides. The positions of the two waves of people alternated between them.

Florence was in a trance when she was brought to her seat. On her right were Duke Wesson, Master Psyche and Miss Eltar, and on her left was His Majesty Fatih from the Ghazi Empire. Only then did she confirm that she was waiting. Going up to receive the award.

Frederick had arrived early and saw Jurgen coming with Florence, so he immediately arrested him for interrogation.

Elsewhere, Fatih nodded to Florence.

Fatih only brought Hakan here tonight. Just now Hakan went to chat with other winners and build relationships. He reported the situation to the leader when he came back.

Currently, the Golden Durian Award has six awards: magic, alchemy, mathematics, physics, biology, and medicine. Except for a large number of reissues in the first edition, in principle, there is only one winner for each category every year. It is better to lack than to waste.

The influence of an award is not determined by the amount of the prize, but by the quality of the award-winning results.

Under the control of Psyche, the award-winning results over the years represent major breakthroughs in this field. In just a few years, the quality of the awards has been widely recognized by people in the industry and has become a benchmark for research.

Half of this year's six awards were won by people from Wesson. Hakan went to contact the other four winners and Fatih will visit them in a few days.

While the two were talking, all the guests and the audience had arrived, the time was up, and the music changed from soothing to "Red Carpets" commonly used for company annual meetings.

Psyche got up from her seat and walked onto the stage. Tonight she was wearing a red silk and gold embroidered robe, a purple silk belt around her waist, and a purple and gold olive leaf crown.

Psyche walked to the stage and began to speak, expressing warm congratulations to all award-winners, extending high respect and sincere greetings to the scientific research workers, and expressing heartfelt thanks to the domestic and foreign guests who attended the award ceremony.

Her reputation was only spread among high-level academic circles, especially since she had traveled to the Far East for many years, and after returning, she pretended to be a student in Constantbul to eat and drink, so her legend was almost lost in the world. As Frederick rose to prominence in a short period of time, she also began to receive attention from all parties.

Psyche handed the stage to Frederick after a brief welcome speech.

Today, Frederick was wearing a white double-breasted air force officer's dress and a large-brimmed hat, looking very energetic.

In his speech, Frederick pointed out that in the past year, in the face of complex and severe domestic and international environments, Wesson made remarkable achievements in economic development, which is inseparable from the fruitful achievements on the scientific and technological front. A number of landmark achievements have emerged and been transformed at an accelerated pace, which has led to the vigorous rise of public entrepreneurship. This land shows a scene of all things competing and full of vitality in innovation. At present, a new round of technological and industrial changes is taking place, and the in-depth adjustment of Weisen's economic structure will enter a new stage. Innovation must be placed at the core of the overall development, guided by new development concepts, and focused on expanding production and increasing income. , deeply implement the innovation-driven development strategy, accelerate the cultivation and expansion of a group of scientific research workers mainly composed of scholars, professional and technical personnel, technical workers, agricultural technicians, etc., and promote the rapid economic growth.

Frederick emphasized that in order to comprehensively improve scientific and technological innovation capabilities, we must aim at the frontier, closely follow the needs, and deploy forward-looking, focusing on promoting the construction of major projects, major engineering and major infrastructure, and strengthening the research and innovation of basic theories. Establish a long-term and stable win-win mechanism, encourage joint innovation with enterprises as the main body and market orientation, improve the efficiency of achievement transformation, and enable society, enterprises, and researchers to jointly benefit from innovation.

Frederick said that this is an inclusive land that not only supports local talents to reach great heights, but also supports foreign talents to start businesses and innovate, providing them with greater space to display their talents. We will further strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights and maintain a high-pressure approach to infringement and counterfeiting.

After he finished his speech, the candidates in the audience who will take the civil service examination next month were a little panicked. According to the time, it is estimated that the spirit of tonight's speech will probably appear in the application questions.

Next, Psyche announced the start of the award ceremony, and the first award was the mathematics award.

The first person to take the stage was Fatih, who was the guest of honor. Today, he was wearing a purple formal emperor's robe and a flaming crown embellished with rubies. He spoke in Pulan: "My friends all know that people are in a hurry. I can do everything except math problems."

Amid the laughter of the audience, he continued: "In my past understanding, the role of mathematics was just to calculate how much land I have, whether taxes have increased, and how many days I can have enough military rations."

"It wasn't until I saw "Minutes of Maternal and Newborn Care" in a bookstore that I realized I was wrong."

"Before I became emperor, the most respected person in my territory was not me, but a midwife, because she would deliver fifty babies before an adult or child would die."

"I asked someone to investigate at that time. In the territory, one person dies for every twenty childbirths. Twenty-five out of one hundred newborns will not live to be one year old, and less than sixty will live to be twelve years old."

"Even in the palace, my father had a total of fifteen children, only ten of whom lived to be one year old, and two of them did not survive the full and waning of the moon."

"For countless years, people have been looking for reasons to prevent infant death. When I was born, my grandmother used the traditional method to soak the area from the neck down in potion for a whole day in order to avoid belly button ulceration, but my twin brother He died two months later."

"I've also heard of a method where the newborn baby and its wet nurse have to live in a house surrounded by flames, and the fires around them cannot be stopped for a moment until the full moon."

"There are a lot of different approaches, but no one can say exactly what it takes to make the world's children and their mothers live longer."

"Miss Florence answered this question. She spent five years, visited countless places, accumulated a large amount of data, analyzed it using mathematical means, and told everyone the answer through simple and easy-to-understand tables and color drawings: Illness Among children, lung disease accounts for 59.25% of the incidence, and the mortality rate of sick children is 30%; the incidence rate of various infections is 29%, and the mortality rate of sick children is close to 80%; the biggest cause of maternal death is puerperal infection. Followed by massive bleeding.”

"We all know how valuable a direction and a goal are when exploring unknown territory."

"Perhaps we have not been able to solve all the problems so far, but Miss Florence's results point us to the biggest goals and let us know where to focus our efforts."

"I spent a lot of effort to get the qualification to present the award to Miss Florence, because I want to tell everyone through practical actions that her achievements transcend countries and religions and are the most precious wealth of all mankind!"

After the translator finished translating all Fatih's award speech, thunderous applause erupted in the venue and lasted for nearly five minutes.

When Florence came on stage, she looked a little dazed, as if she was walking on the clouds, cautiously, as if she would fall off and hit the bed with a little force, and found that it was a dream.

The staff member stood behind Fatih holding a tray, on which was placed a hollow gold-plated durian weighing half a kilogram, a Wesson Bank check for one thousand florins, and a gold coin that could be pinned to the chest every day. Durian badge.

Florence's hands were trembling when she took the tray from Fatih. When she faced the audience, she took a deep breath for half a minute before saying in a trembling voice: "I feel like I am dreaming. Please allow me to calm down a little." .”

After taking a few deep breaths, she said: "The reason why I can stand here today is first of all thanks to Duke Wesson."

"As His Majesty Fatih said just now, sailing on the ocean of knowledge is the most important goal, otherwise the wind in any direction will not be a tailwind."

"Duke Wesson is a beacon on the sea. Ten years ago, he pointed out the way to combine mathematics and medicine..."

Frederick in the audience just smiled. He had shocked Frank and Florence with this idea in the camp that received the victims. Strictly speaking, this award should be his.

But it was Florence who really put the idea into practice, combined statistics and medicine to form a new discipline, and used and improved it in actual work. She is well-deserved for this award.
