"I want to create a prize like the Nobel Prize, but unlike the Nobel Prize, it contains more awards than the Nobel Prize and is awarded once a year, but only one award is given at a time."

Zhou Ming said to Li Mingzhi again.

Li Mingzhi was attracted by what Zhou Ming said. He asked Zhou Ming curiously: "Then how much are you going to set the prize for this award?"

Zhou Ming had previously despised that some awards were too small, but Li Mingzhi wanted to know how much prize money would he set for this award since Zhou Ming was planning to create an award himself.

In Li Mingzhi's opinion, people like Zhou Ming who are not short of money will have a bonus of one or two million.

"The bonus that is initially scheduled to be distributed every year is 10 million soft sister coins," Zhou Ming explained.

As soon as Zhou Ming said this, it was obviously far beyond Li Mingzhi's tone. Li Mingzhi on the other end of the phone was very surprised and confirmed the specific amount to Zhou Ming.

"How many?"

If what Zhou Ming said is true, once this award is determined, the amount of its prize can be said to be the highest among all scientific awards in the world.

Even the Nobel Prize, its prize amount soared from 6 million Swedish kroner in 1991 to 10 million Swedish kroner in 2001. Its value was equivalent to 144% of the initial prize, and it was not as high as Zhou Ming said now.

In recent years, due to poor investment returns of the Nobel Prize Fund, its bonus has shrunk to 8 million Swedish kroner since 2012, and the bonus amount has been maintained until this year.

However, due to the rise of biotechnology projects in the future, many foreign biotech companies have significantly reduced their returns, and some biotech companies are even on the verge of bankruptcy, and the stocks of related technology companies also have some large or small declines.

The Nobel Foundation's investor countries are mainly concentrated in North America and Europe. Countries such as Yingguo, America and Olia may fall again by next year due to the decline in returns.

"Ten million." Zhou Ming said the specific amount again.

"Ten million..." After Zhou Ming said the specific amount again, Li Mingzhi repeated the amount, and didn't know what he was thinking, but soon he said to Zhou Ming, "Then what awards are you going to include in this award? What is its name?"

"The most basic physics awards, chemistry awards, biology awards, mathematics awards, etc. There will definitely be some of them. As for the others, I have not yet thought about them. At that time, I will convene a group of scholars from all fields of the scientific community to discuss them together, and strive to include all scientific research.

Look, hasn’t this brought together a group of top scholars from various fields to China? It’s not just scholars in the field of mathematics.

As for the name of this award, I haven't figured it out yet. It would be too ostentatious if I named it after me, it would be unstoppable. This does not fit my personality.

But if you name it after the company, it will make the business atmosphere too strong and the academic atmosphere is not enough.”

Zhou Ming answered the questions Li Mingzhi had just asked. As for the peace prizes, literary prizes and so on in the Nobel Prize, Zhou Ming is not going to set up the prize. His main purpose of setting up this prize is to promote the development of social sciences.

In Zhou Ming's view, the establishment of the Peace Prize is just a decoration, you can tell by looking at the Nobel Peace Prize.

Therefore, Zhou Ming didn't say anything about these two awards.

"If you are preparing to award one award in one year, judging from the achievements in recent years, the awards from the previous years may have to be given to you.

Whether it is a biology or a mathematics award, you are the most qualified to win.

And if you continue to produce research results at this speed, you may be the winner of this award every year in the future.

But you were the organizer of this award, and then the award was only awarded to you. Although it was awarded based on the contributions made by the research results to the society, this is also very reasonable, but reasonable does not mean that it is reasonable.

If you win other awards, no matter how many you get, no one will say anything.

But if you win this award from yourself, it will probably make many people gossip.

In the eyes of others, whether you set up this award or not has anything to do with others."

Li Mingzhi reminded Zhou Ming that if Zhou Ming is preparing to establish this award, he wants to make it an international top prize like the Nobel Prize, then the winner must be recognized by most scholars.

As for Zhou Ming’s achievements in biology and mathematics in the past two years, there is no doubt that he won the award, and it would be a problem if he didn’t win it.

But the problem lies here. You set up this award to encourage the most outstanding scholars in the world. Now you are encouraged to be alone. What's the matter?

However, Zhou Ming had already thought of a solution to this point, and he said to Li Mingzhi: "Director Li, I have already thought about how to deal with this point, so don't worry."

"You just think about what to do after you have done it yourself. I'm just reminding you, then when will your award be established?" Li Mingzhi asked Zhou Ming again.

"At the end of this year, I will send an invitation to invite scholars from all fields of academia to discuss. It should be established next year, and the first award can be awarded next year or the year after." Zhou Ming said.

After that, Li Mingzhi didn't say anything to Zhou Mingduo, and the two quickly hung up the phone.

Zhou Ming also started to deal with his own affairs, but before he could handle his own affairs for a long time, he received another call.

"Okay, today I either call someone or someone else calls me. I haven't arrived yet this morning, why did there be another call?"

Zhou Ming had just walked around the laboratory of the artificial synthesis project and was about to go to the laboratory of the space synthesis biology project to take a look, and he heard his cell phone ringing again and said this to himself.

After taking out the phone and looking at it, Zhou Ming found that it was Zhou Chunli who had called him before.

"It's arranged so quickly? Isn't this too fast?"

When he saw that it was Zhou Chunli's call, the first thing Zhou Ming thought of was the thing he had just called Zhou Chunli not long ago.

"Hey, President Zhou." Zhou Ming shouted cordially after answering the phone.

Zhou Chunli felt that Zhou Ming's voice seemed much more friendly than the one just now, and I don't know if there was something wrong with his ears, but Zhou Chunli didn't care too much about this, but said to Zhou Ming directly: "Professor Zhou Ming, I have already told that person about what you just told me. I will soon choose a good person for you and arrange someone to go there.

However, the one who just told me that the space synthetic biology research project in your scientist studio has recently developed two results?

One is what can help build bases on Mars, and the other is the transformed bacteria that can improve the recycling of waste in closed space.

Then please tell me if your modified bacteria can be used now. If it can be used, we will first use it on the simulated space station on the ground. After a few years, our country will board its own space station. Your modified bacteria will also have better uses.

Our space station can also reduce some load-bearing according to the effect of transforming bacteria, and can also develop the direction of transforming bacteria in a more practical direction through actual use."

After hearing what Zhou Chunli said on the other end of the phone, Zhou Ming realized that Zhou Chunli called and did not say that he wanted to talk about the driver, but about transforming bacteria.

If astronauts want to survive in the space station for a long time, they need at least three things: food, oxygen and water.

Food was naturally brought from the earth, and they do not have the ability to farm in the space station yet.

As for the oxygen in the space station, either transports oxygen cylinders directly from the ground to the space station for astronauts to breathe, or transports pure water from the ground to the space station and then makes oxygen.

The bacterial transformation result studied by Zhou Ming's space synthetic biology research project team is that it can use solar energy and available nutritional resources to reproduce and produce oxygen.

The original plan of the China Space Station was to use oxygen cylinders to supply oxygen. If the bacteria Zhou Ming researched can really work, then they would not have to carry oxygen cylinders specifically, nor would they have to carry pure water to make oxygen.

However, for the safety of the astronauts, it is necessary to simulate it on the ground to make sure it can really replace oxygen cylinders before it can be added to the system of the space station.

In terms of water use, China is preparing to send about 1 ton of water resources to space in advance, which can also reduce the load.

In fact, as for what Zhou Chunli mentioned about the simulated space station on the ground, this matter was forced to do.

If you can go to the International Space Station, who doesn’t want to go to the International Space Station first, and after you train a group of astronauts who have life experience in the space station, you can directly let these astronauts go to their own space station directly, or let them train the next group of astronauts from China’s own space stations.

However, the International Space Station has no exception.

Zhou Ming remembers that in Baidu Knows, another netizen asked this question in 2009: "When will it be the Chinese turn to go up to the International Space Station?"

At that time, a netizen replied with the sentence "If Chinese people want to go to their own international space station, it is not fun to go to others." Although China has been working hard for this goal, it has been seven years since then and we still don't have our own space station.

If we look at it before Zhou Ming did not have much impact on the world, China will probably not be able to board its own space station in about 5 years, that is, 2021.

Although Zhou Ming has gained a lot of future knowledge through life simulators and is already very knowledgeable, Zhou Ming's main research direction is still in biology, followed by mathematics and artificial intelligence.

Although Zhou Ming also has some understanding of aerospace, he certainly does not have the ability to serve as the chief engineer of aerospace engineering such as space station system and lunar exploration.

When China was going to build a base on the moon later, Zhou Ming could serve as the chief engineer of the moon base design.

However, these things will happen several years later.

Let’s talk about the issue of space stations. In fact, many people from many countries have visited the International Space Station. Even Malaysians and Chinese people have been on the Internet. The reason why no one in China has been on the Internet is actually to mention the original Galileo plan.

The Galileo plan is not a space station plan, but a satellite navigation system plan.

In the local wars in the 1990s, GPS positioning showed amazing military and application value, after three years of ties with each other, European countries finally decided to make their own satellite navigation system, which is the Galileo plan.

Their total investment is about 3.6 billion euros and they also invited China to join.

However, after China and Ou Meng signed the agreement and invested 230 million euros, they were unable to enter the core technology level. The space agency there also set a lot of obstacles and technology did not provide technology.

What they mean is that you invested money and joined us, this is OK.

But if you want to do it with us, this is not possible.

It's like you invest money with some so-called friends to build a car, and in the end they ask you to build some car shells, tires and parts that don't have much technical content.

Finally, the car was built, and the car was theirs. If they were in a good mood, they would lend it to you for a few days. If they were in a bad mood, they would not let you drive it.

But if you invest all your money, it is impossible to withdraw it again, right? Otherwise, your money will be really wasted. After the car is built, people will not lend you the car even if they are in a good mood. If you want to drive, you have to spend another money.

However, if you don’t withdraw, you have to continue to invest manpower in it.

In the end, the upper class of China did have the courage to withdraw from the Galileo plan decisively, and the money would be wasted, so talents could not be wasted like this.

After withdrawing from the Galileo plan, China no longer expects others and begins to work on its own Beidou system.

After Galileo's plan, they set up another space station plan.

However, because of the previous experience of losing to Galileo's plan, China simply did not apply and directly prepared to study it and launch the space station itself.

This is why there are no Chinese people on the International Space Station. It is not that they turn us out, but that we have never applied for it.

"Of course it can be used. But..."

Zhou Ming hadn't finished talking about it later. He just paused for a moment, and Zhou Chunli couldn't wait to ask, "But what?"

"However, we will further transform this modified bacteria later. When our space station goes up, the modified bacteria should be updated and iterated several versions.

So, if you can, when designing a space station, it is best to design iteratively as an alternative type of bacteria when designing a space station.

Of course, if the core cabin has been designed and built, it can also be designed in the next space station."

Zhou Ming reminded.

Zhou Chunli, who was on the other end of the phone, felt a little incredible when he heard Zhou Ming say these words. He said to Zhou Ming with some uncertainty: "Update? Iteration? Why do I feel like you are talking about computers, not biological?"

"Director Zhou, you heard it right. What I am talking about is biological and bacterial transformation, update and iteration." Zhou Ming said again.

"Professor Zhou Ming, I understand that you still have many plans.

It seems that our previous ideas were wrong. We thought that your research results must be produced in at least years. Many of us think it is too soon.

In your plan, when will the next update result of your modified bacteria be updated? What functions can be added? Just say it roughly. I am not studying this aspect. I can't understand what you said in detail."

When Zhou Chunli heard Zhou Ming's tone on the other end of the phone, she knew that Zhou Ming was confident.

"The next time is about the beginning of next year or later, but it will definitely not exceed June. This is a bit difficult to say about the specific functions. It depends on the specific experimental results, but it will definitely increase its efficiency in producing oxygen and plan to make it produce water." Zhou Ming explained.

"It seems that you have to come here, at least you have to join this project and communicate, otherwise the plans of the aerospace project will not keep up with your research and development.

You should receive a call in the afternoon. I have to tell you about it quickly and have to go there again. Let’s talk about other things when we meet, and we will hang up first.”
