Chapter 303 High-level people
In the following time, Pang Xuelin began to devote his main energy to the research and development of lithium air batteries.
However, his main job is to coordinate the development of the entire project. Only when a certain group encounters difficulties in research will it intervene in specific matters.
In this way, He Wenyan, Qiu Qiwei, Xu Ting and others realized the extraordinaryness of Pang Xuelin again.
Because no matter what problems the project team encounters, if it is fast, it will be one or two days or slower, three or five days, Pang Xuelin can always find a solution.
This makes people feel a little incredible.
You should know that the problems they encounter are often not problems in chemistry theory or mathematics, but problems in the field of engineering design.
Solving these problems often requires some wonderful ideas.
But Pang Xuelin seemed to know it by nature and could always find a solution.
In this way, everyone was only envious of Professor Pang's amazing talent.
Only Ye Xingmin thought it was rare and strange for everyone.
He has long been used to Professor Pang's operations.
It was December unknowingly.
At present, the public announcement period for the new academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has ended, and Pang Xuelin has officially been transferred from Professor Pang to Academician Pang.
After New Year's Day, Pang Xuelin still has to go to Beijing to attend the meeting of all academicians of the Department of Mathematical and Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
That afternoon, Pang Xuelin just came out of the laboratory of the School of Chemical Engineering and received a call from President Xu Xincheng, Jiang University.
"Academician Pang, where are you now?"
"I just came out of the lab, what's wrong?"
"Then come to my office quickly and find you if you have important things."
Pang Xuelin was slightly stunned. Xu Xincheng's tone was very formal. He rarely spoke to himself in this tone.
Pang Xuelin hurriedly said, "Okay, then I'll go there right now."
Fifteen minutes later, Pang Xuelin appeared in Xu Xincheng's office.
In the office, in addition to Xu Xincheng, there is also a middle-aged man who looks like an official. He is in his fifties, has a bald head in the middle of his head and wears glasses, and looks like he has a vague temperament of a scholar.
Xu Xincheng smiled and said, "Academician Pang, let me introduce you to you. This is Vice Minister Lu Wenlin of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Lu Jun, and this is Academician Pang Xuelin of our school."
"Hello, Academician Pang, hello, I have been very impressed by Daming for a long time. I finally saw you today!"
"Hello, Minister Lu!"
Pang Xuelin and Lu Wenlin shook hands and said with a smile.
Lu Wenlin said seriously: "Professor Pang, I will come here this time to notify you one thing."
"What's up?"
Pang Xuelin was slightly stunned.
Lv Wenlin smiled and said, "Professor Pang, this year's highest national science and technology award has been released. You are the only winner of the 2020 National Highest National Science and Technology Awards. This time I came here to invite you to attend the National Science and Technology Awards Conference held in Beijing half a month later."
After saying that, Lu Wenlin took out an invitation letter from his briefcase, held it in both hands, and handed it to Pang Xuelin.
Pang Xuelin was slightly stunned. He took the invitation letter and opened it and read it:
Dear Academician Pang Xuelin,
The 2020 National Science Awards Conference will be held in Beijing on January 5, 2021. We sincerely invite you to attend this conference.
1. Meeting time: January 5, 2021 (Tuesday) from 10:00-11:30 am
2. Location: rm conference hall
3. Note: You can check in the Capital Hotel with this letter and enter the RM Hall
Please attend at that time.
Contact: Shi Wei Phone:******
He Lan Telephone:******
email:******
Below the invitation letter, there is also the seal of the General Office of the State Council.
Pang Xuelin smiled and nodded and said, "Minister Lu, thank you, I will definitely participate at that time."
In fact, Pang Xuelin did not expect that this year's National Highest Science and Technology Award would be awarded to him, and he was the only candidate.
You should know that at the end of last year, although Academician Tan Hao came to Jiangda specifically, he told Pang Xuelin that he had become one of the candidates for the National Highest Science and Technology Award in 2020.
But what Pang Xuelin thought at the time was that the possibility of 2020 was not high, but it would be his turn after a few years.
Especially the turmoil that I caused not long ago in the lithium air battery field. Unless I can really create a real lithium air battery in half a year, awarding myself to this node will only cause controversy.
But Pang Xuelin didn't expect that the country would choose to support itself under such circumstances.
Lu Wenlin might have seen what Pang Xuelin thought and said with a smile: "By the way, Professor Pang, I heard you were going to get a lithium air battery before. How is the project progressing now?"
Pang Xuelin smiled slightly and said, "Everything goes well. You should be able to create a prototype battery product that is acceptable in half a year."
Lu Wenlin narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Will I go and visit me?"
"Of course it's OK."
In the next few days, Lu Wenlin stayed at Jiangcheng University.
Most of the time, he spent his time in three experimental groups with Pang Xuelin to learn about the overall technical route, design plan and overall progress of lithium air batteries.
Only then did Pang Xuelin realize that Vice Minister Lu was an expert in the field of electrochemistry. He graduated from the Technical University of Munich in his early years and served as the president of Nanyang University.
He just retired from the academic circle and went to the Ministry of Science and Technology to work.
But even so, most of his work is still dealing with people in the academic world.
It was not until three days later that he had a deeper understanding of the entire lithium-air battery project that Lu Wenlin left Jiangda and returned to Beijing.
Before leaving, Lu Wenlin asked Pang Xuelin to prepare. After the National Highest Science and Technology Awards Conference ended half a month later, there should be heavyweights who wanted to meet him.
Pang Xuelin was not surprised by this.
He knew very well in his heart that Lu Wenlin came to Jiangda this time just to send him an invitation letter.
His real goal is probably the legendary lithium-air battery.
In the past two years, the Sino-US trade war has been in full swing. One is a veteran superpower, a well-deserved overlord in all fields, and the other is an emerging superpower with the potential to replace the United States.
It can be said that in recent years, all-round collisions have been carried out between China and the United States, from economy, science and technology, politics, military and other fields.
China is still at a slight disadvantage overall.
But lithium-air batteries are precisely a strategic product that can overturn the US's advantages and even completely change the global landscape.
Once Pang Xuelin successfully creates it, major changes will occur in both China's future and human history.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the senior leaders sent the deputy minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology to investigate.
