Technological power starts with upgrading lenses

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 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 prelude to 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 also unquestionable, and no one has any objection to him 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 the question...

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 warm applause gradually began to ring out at the scene, Zhong Weijian still felt a little bit 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 this thing 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 has not retired, being able to complete trial and error on a technical route and prove that it really doesn't work is actually a great scientific achievement.

Just like the fact that Bell's inequality was proven to be invalid is a trial and error result, and it can also win the Nobel Prize.

Therefore, before retiring, he is completely possible and qualified 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 Dongfang Super Ring to achieve success at such a fast speed.

And these experiences are absolutely indispensable to Zhong Weijian.

Finally, it may also be the most important reason.

In fact, this is to continue to build momentum for Kang Chi and give him a "step".

Imagine if the second winner today is not Zhong Weijian, then if nothing unexpected happens, he may not have the chance to win the highest science and technology award in his life...

Such a result, even if Zhong Weijian himself has no objection, what about others?

If Kang Chi wants to do research in other fields in the future, will everyone feel that his joining will take away everyone's credit, so they will have some concerns about him?

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 steal 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 have some psychological grievances.

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, and even if he knew it, he would still say what he should say, and there is no need to block Academician Zhong. It is also good for the two to go on stage together to receive the award.

"Awesome, a research project has won two high science and technology awards!"

"After all, it's controlled nuclear fusion."

"Really, the first year of controlled nuclear fusion!"

"One person's success brings success to everyone!"

"As long as Mr. Kang is willing to take me flying, I'm willing to be a chicken."

"Please leave the position of dog to me!"

"..."

Just as netizens were discussing this online, everyone at the conference slowly stopped their hands.

Although they all had a strong urge to discuss, influenced by the solemn atmosphere at the scene, no one really raised any objections at this time.

Logically speaking, after announcing the winner of an award, he would go on stage to receive the award, but unexpectedly the old man's voice rang out again.

"Humanity's curiosity about the natural world continues to drive 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 still one?

This year, for the first time, three high-tech science and technology awards will be awarded!

high!

It’s really high!

Even Kang Chi couldn't help but secretly give the leader a thumbs up.

Treating special situations in a special way, not sticking to the rules, weighing all sides, and maintaining a balanced bowl of water requires courage.

And it is not difficult to guess from this opening sentence that this is definitely for the field of aerospace research.

The aerospace bosses who originally thought they had missed out on this year's High Science and Technology Award could not help but become a little nervous at this moment. They sat upright with their ears raised and continued to listen...

"...The moon is the first threshold for mankind to go into deep space. Studying the moon can also help solve many mysteries that plague mankind itself, such as the formation of the earth, the origin of mankind, and whether there is life outside the earth..."

"Over the years, the Chang'e lunar exploration project of the National Space Administration's Lunar Exploration and Aerospace Engineering Center 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, profoundly explaining Understand the importance of lunar exploration in laying the foundation for the future of mankind.

"The third winner of the country's highest science and technology award is: Academician Li Xinqiang, chief designer of China's lunar exploration project!"

There was thunderous applause at the scene, especially scientific researchers from the aerospace field, who gave the main pillar of China's aerospace industry their warmest applause.

As the three winners were announced, the familiar award music finally sounded.

Amid rounds of applause, the three winners slowly walked onto the awards podium in the order in which the names were announced.

After taking the bright red certificate from the old man's hand, Kang Chi immediately said thank you solemnly.

"It should be the country that thanks you for your efforts and contributions to the prosperity of the country and the great rejuvenation of the nation!"

After hearing these words, Kang Chi couldn't help but feel his heartbeat speeding up, his blood gushing out, and his whole body felt a little dazed...

When the audience burst into applause again, Kang Chi couldn't help but look around and saw countless pairs of eyes full of excitement and hope focused on his face at this moment.

A sense of satisfaction that he had never experienced before enveloped his entire being.

When this sense of satisfaction gradually fades away, what remains is a stronger sense of responsibility and mission.

The great rejuvenation of the nation...

This slogan that used to feel somewhat distant, at this moment, seems to have become closer to him in both scales of space and time, and it is no longer a simple slogan...

After taking a group photo, Kang Chi returned to his previous position with the certificate. At the same time, he also made eye contact with Zhong Weijian. From his eyes and reserved posture, it is not difficult to see that this old man who is twice his age The scholar is actually more nervous than him at this time...

In other words, it was a big psychological burden for Zhong Weijian to win this award.

So after Kang Chi came back, he couldn't help but whisper in his ear: "Actually, you don't have to bear such a big burden. What the leader just said is absolutely right. The valuable experience you have accumulated in the past is the golden crow. The key to successful ignition, if it weren't for your information, I would have been able to figure it out all by myself. And you were also instrumental in making the plasma injector."

After listening to Kang Chi's words, Zhong Weijian's psychological burden suddenly became much lighter. After nodding gratefully to Kang Chi, he puffed up his chest and walked to the old man's side...

When Zhong Weijian accepted the award, Kang Chi focused on Li Xinqiang again, smiled and nodded to him.

Kang Chi had also heard about this big shot in the aerospace field for a long time. His grandson Li Chen and Kang Chi were also old friends. This would become the topic of their first communication.

"How is Li Chen doing now?" Kang Chi took the initiative to chat, "Has he graduated?"

"Not yet. I took a break from school to make your movie. I have to go back and study for another year."

"Uh...okay."

"It's okay. It's good to make a movie first and get some exercise... By the way, I heard that you are planning to engage in aerospace next? If you don't mind it, I can apply to the leader later to make the lunar exploration total. I'll give you the position of master... Anyway, I can hardly do this with my old bones."

"Uh... don't! I still have a few important projects to finish, and I'm exhausted every day."

"Okay, then come over as soon as you're done. Anyway, the moon landing position has been reserved for you."

"..."

——

After the High Science and Technology Award is awarded, there are still four awards to be given out, 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 all have first and second prizes, and there are quite a lot of places, so the entire commendation conference takes quite a long time.

If they are not in the scientific research community, or are doing it for zz missions, there are probably not many people who can persist in watching the entire live broadcast.

If the leader hadn't kept chatting with Kang Daoming about home affairs, he would probably have turned off the TV in a few minutes after seeing Kang Chi receive the award, and then went to brag with his fishing friends...

"Will Academician Kang go home to celebrate the New Year this year?"

"Who knows."

Speaking of this, Kang Daoming couldn't help but grumble in a dissatisfied tone: "This kid hasn't been back to his hometown for the New Year for two or three years. Every year he asks us to go to Dongyang."

"To be honest, the feeling of celebrating the New Year in Dongyang is completely different from celebrating the New Year at home. It's so cold and 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, it depends on him. Anyway, he is now independent and we can't control him."

Liu Xuemei, who seldom spoke, suddenly couldn't help but He interrupted and said, "I think your leaders need to find a way to help us with this matter, and don't put too much pressure on Xiaochi."

"He said before that when he built that plane, he could get home in an hour or two, and then he could eat at home every day, but 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 only get back in half an hour with his plane, but he still says he doesn't have time!"

"..."

Hearing Liu Xuemei's slightly blaming tone, the leaders on the scene couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Director Li of the Organization Department quickly apologized with a smile: "This is indeed our work error. 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 boy himself. If he wants to rest and go home, can anyone stop him? In my opinion, this boy 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 so sensible, Director Li was relieved immediately.

"Well, Uncle Kang, Aunt Liu, I have a suggestion..."

"I heard that you have wanted to travel to Yanjing for a long time, but Academician Kang has never had time to accompany you. It just so happens that he is in Yanjing now, and the Chinese New Year is just a few days away. 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. Before the New Year, you can go around and visit the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, etc. On New Year's Eve, you can also watch the Spring Festival Gala live. I guarantee that the New Year atmosphere will be absolutely amazing!"

After hearing this, Kang Daoming and Liu Xuemei were immediately tempted.

"Watch the Spring Festival Gala live?"

"Yes, and in the front row, you can see it clearly!"

"Well...what if we go and Xiaochi doesn't have time?"

"Don't worry about this. 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!"
