After communicating with Shuimu for two or three days and finalizing some general details, this session of the 'National Science and Technology Awards Conference' also began.
The award ceremony will be held in the General Assembly Hall.
When Xu Chuan followed the reception staff into the venue, the auditorium was already packed with people.
Some people were sitting and some were standing, but everyone was chatting in twos and threes.
For Chinese scientific researchers, this is a grand event, even more important than the Nobel Prize ceremony and the Fields Medal award ceremony.
After all, even if the latter two are surrounded by big bosses, it will be difficult for them to say anything in the country.
But this conference is different. All the truly top bosses in the country are in it. In an environment like China, there is nothing wrong with making more friends and getting to know a few more people.
So most people will come one or two hours or even two or three hours in advance.
In comparison, Xu Chuan, who arrived on time, looked like a weirdo.
Of course, with his current achievements, he doesn't really need to deal with these worldly things.
The honors of the Nobel Prize and the Fields Medal have made him break away from these things.
In one sentence, it is not in the Three Realms, but outside the Five Elements.
...
The follower guided the staff into the venue, and his appearance immediately caused a lot of commotion.
Although the scholars in the auditorium who came to participate in the award ceremony were all well-known figures and would not be crowded around, everyone's eyes were focused on this extremely young figure.
"Why are you here just now?" In the auditorium, Chen Zhengping, who also came to attend the award ceremony, naturally noticed the movement here and walked over with a smile.
Xu Chuan smiled sheepishly and said: "This is my first time attending this kind of meeting. I thought half an hour in advance would be enough. I didn't expect everyone to arrive so early."
Chen Zhengping shook his head and said nothing more, instead saying: "Here, let me introduce someone to you."
As he spoke, he led Xu Chuan to the other side: "This is Academician Chen Quan, an expert in the fields of solid ionics and energy materials, a dual academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, and a leading figure in the national energy field."
"Our domestic research and development of lithium-ion batteries and the industrialization of lithium-ion batteries were led by Academician Chen."
"Mr. Chen, this is my former student, Xu Chuan."
Taking Xu Chuan with him, Chen Zhengping introduced each other between the two.
He knew that Xu Chuan was researching lithium batteries, but he didn't know the specifics.
Fan Pengyue wouldn't tell him, after all, he signed a confidentiality agreement.
"Hello, Academician Chen."
Hearing Chen Zhengping's introduction, Xu Chuan quickly stretched out his hands. He is a double academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering. This is a real top boss, at least in China.
Of course, what is more worthy of respect is his spirit of dedicating his life to the country.
If he remembered correctly, there seemed to be less than twenty academicians of both academies alive at present, and each one of them was a valuable weapon in a great country.
He knew that this was the path paved for him by his mentor Chen Zhengping. Being able to get in touch with such an elder in China would save him a lot of detours.
Chen Quan shook hands with a smile, looked at Xu Chuan twice, and said: "I have heard of you for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to meet you. You look much younger than the legend. Heroes are born from young, and your reputation is well-deserved.
.”
Xu Chuan said modestly: "Compared to you, I still have a lot to learn."
Chen Quan glanced at Chen Zhengping, then looked at Xu Chuan and joked with a smile: "It's exactly what Xiao Chen said, you are like a handsome young man from an ancient book, gentle as jade, a humble gentleman. Unlike me,
When I had some success, no one looked down upon me."
Xu Chuan responded with a smile. The old man seemed to have a good relationship with his mentor.
But then again, who didn’t have a young age? Remember when he first became famous, he was also a young man wearing bright clothes and angry horses. He dared to reach the moon in the sky, go to the five oceans to catch turtles, scold Fang Qiu, and guide the country.
But as time goes by, your personality will eventually calm down.
.......
After chatting with someone and several acquaintances, Xu Chuan returned to his seat and waited for the conference to begin.
As time passed, professors and scholars who participated in the award ceremony took their seats one after another, as did leaders at all levels.
As it approached nine o'clock, the hall quickly became quiet.
As the old man whom I had seen before on Chang'an Street took his seat, the loud national anthem sounded in the assembly hall.
All the guests participating in the conference stood up. This award ceremony, which symbolizes the highest honor in China's academic and scientific research circles, kicked off with the national anthem.
After the national anthem was played, everyone took their seats again, the venue was silent, and China's annual science and technology awards conference finally officially began.
】
When the old man presiding over the conference completed his opening speech, the conference entered the most exciting and anticipated process.
Five awards were announced: the National Top Science and Technology Award, 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.
The first thing to be announced is naturally the National Highest Science and Technology Award.
This is the highest level award among the five awards and is unmatched by other awards.
It is generally awarded to scientific and technological workers who have made major breakthroughs at the forefront of contemporary science and technology or have made outstanding achievements in the development of science and technology, and who have created huge economic or social benefits in scientific and technological innovation, transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and high-tech industrialization.
Being able to win this award can be said to have reached the pinnacle of academic career in China.
