The event started at nine o'clock in the morning and lasted until five o'clock in the afternoon.
Although there are only one or two first prizes for the five major science and technology awards, the number of second prizes is quite large; there are nearly 20 second prizes for the Natural Science Award this year alone, plus the group photos
What, it's normal for it to take a longer time.
After the award ceremony, there will be a state banquet in the evening.
For such a grand event, the size of the state banquet can be said to be fully booked. Its scale is much larger than what Xu Chuan had last time.
State banquet lion head, state banquet boiled cabbage, state banquet Buddha jumping over the wall, jar stuffed three-treasure duck, safflower shark fin with rice, puff pastry shark fin cup...
Although it is not a Manchu-Han Banquet in the traditional sense, the various dishes are even more exaggerated than the Manchu-Hanban Banquet.
Each of these dishes served on the table can be said to be the top quality of each cuisine, and each dish is produced by a true top master, which is extremely rare.
Xu Chuan, who has never been very demanding about food, hated himself for not having two mouths to eat, let alone other people.
"Congratulations, Professor Xu."
At the dinner table, as soon as Xu Chuan put the duck meat on the kuaizi into his mouth, a sound came to his ears.
The person who came over to say hello was a middle-aged man. He didn't know which research institution he was from, but he soon found out.
After swallowing the food in his mouth, he skillfully picked up the wine glass and stood up to touch it with the other person. He said thank you and asked about the other person's identity to leave an impression in his mind.
"Han Kaiyu, a professor at Shanghai Jiaotong University, mainly studies analytic number theory and algebraic number theory. I hope to have the opportunity to chat with you about mathematics in the future."
The middle-aged man in front of him smiled and introduced himself.
"Hello, Professor Han."
Xu Chuan smiled and nodded. Although he didn't know the other person, there were many people who took the initiative to say hello to him today and make themselves familiar.
As this year's first prize winner in natural sciences and a double winner of the Nobel Fields Prize, his performance at the awards conference was the envy of everyone.
Especially the closeness shown by the old man made people even more jealous and wished they could take his place.
But to be able to sit here and participate in the award meeting today, everyone is not stupid.
Even if some old stubborn people have opinions in their hearts, they would not show it on their faces under normal circumstances, so they express their dissatisfaction here.
Anyone who knows how to do such a thing will not be able to enter the Great Hall.
Apart from these people, most people showed considerable kindness and concern.
Not only because of the first prize in natural science, but also because of the bonuses of Nobel Prize, Fields Medal and age. More importantly, it was because of the importance shown by the old man when receiving the award.
After all, this is in the country.
Therefore, many people came up to greet and communicate with him after the award ceremony.
...
After a brief chat with Professor Han and exchanging contact information, Xu Chuan once again indulged in eating and drinking to fill his stomach.
After the state banquet of eating and drinking, this grand event was almost over.
If it were anyone else, they could leave now.
However, for scholars like Xu Chuan who won the first prize, there will be an exclusive interview the next day.
After all, being able to win the first prize among the five major awards at the Science and Technology Award Conference is enough for the country to fully promote it to the entire society.
Especially, as the youngest winner of the first prize in natural sciences in history, he is a representative figure promoted by senior officials.
In a quiet reception room, Xu Chuan met a familiar reporter.
"Professor Xu, we meet again."
CTV reporter Sun Yutong walked up to say hello with a bright smile.
Seeing this familiar reporter, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Hello, Reporter Sun."
Although he didn't know why he was interviewed by the same person every time, he didn't care.
Interviews with acquaintances are also good, but having a different person do the interview every time makes people feel uncomfortable, at least for him.
Sun Yutong smiled and said: "The interview may take up a little time, I hope it won't disturb your research."
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "It's not that exaggerated. I can't do research 24 hours a day."
"Shall we start now?" Sun Yutong asked with a smile. The entire interview was only given half an hour, so she had to hurry up.
"Of course." Xu Chuan nodded.
"Professor Xu, how do you feel about being the youngest scholar in history to win the first prize in natural sciences?"
Xu Chuan: "Excited? Proud? It's hard for me to describe my feelings. Of course, the first thing is to thank the country for its trust and support in me..."
For this kind of formal interview, his answers were also quite formal.
"Many Chinese people and students regard you as a role model and learn from you. Do you have anything to say to them?"
Xu Chuan thought for a while and said: "Deep in everyone's heart, there is infinite potential, and to explore them, you need your persistence and efforts."
"Persevere, and one day when you look back, you will thank yourself for your hard work. Come on!"
"...."
"Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule. That's all for today's interview." The half-hour interview passed quickly, and Sun Yutong stood up and said goodbye with a smile.
Although today's interviews and questions were quite satisfactory, as a central media outlet, this is enough.
.......
After handling matters related to the awards conference, Xu Chuan took the high-speed train back to Jinling.
At the gate of Nanjing University, several big red banners were hung.
[Warmly celebrate the 2016 graduates of our school and our professor ‘Xu Chuan’ won the Fields Medal!]
[Warmly celebrate the 2016 graduates of our school and our professor ‘Xu Chuan’ won the Nobel Prize in Physics!]
[Warmly congratulate the 2016 graduates of our school and our professor ‘Xu Chuan’ won the National Natural Science Award!]
There were so many banners that they could no longer be hung at the school gate, which made Xu Chuan feel ashamed when he glanced at them from the car.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He doesn’t have any objections to hanging the banner. After all, it is not only his glory but also the glory of his alma mater that he won those awards.
But anyway, isn’t it a little too long for the banner that won the Fields Medal in August to still be hanging there in December?
Is it possible that the alma mater is really prepared to fulfill its original promise and let these banners hang for half a year?
.......
After finding Principal Liu Gaojun's office, Xu Chuan knocked on the door and walked in after hearing the voice of 'please come in'.
"Why are you back?"
In the office, Liu Gaojun asked in surprise as he looked at the person who appeared in front of him, then smiled and stood up to make tea.
Seeing the principal's surprise, Xu Chuan spread his hands and said with a smile: "After all, I seem to be a professor at Nanjing University. Why do you sound so surprised?"
Liu Gaojun laughed loudly and said, "My fault, my fault."
Although Xu Chuan is a professor at Nanjing University, he has not taught a single class since the beginning of the semester, and he has not admitted any students at Nanjing University except for the two students he brought from Princeton.
At first, NTU students were looking forward to seeing this great man teaching them, but now they have almost given up on this idea.
Not to mention the students, even the school leaders did not expect him to appear on campus.
The position of professor is more like a temporary appointment or an honorary professor.
Although this is a bit against the rules, who's to say anything.
"By the way, I just came back and saw the award banner at the door. Why is the Fields Medal for August still hanging on it?" Xu Chuan asked with a smile.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Liu Gaojun, who was making tea, asked curiously.
"Isn't this a little too long?" Xu Chuan said helplessly.
"How long?"
Liu Gaojun smiled and handed over a cup of tea, and then said: "This is our country's first Fields Medal! Even if it hangs there forever, no one will find it too long."
The corner of Xu Chuan's mouth twitched and he kept hanging there, maybe let him go.
Skipping this topic, Xu Chuan asked: "When I went to Beijing this time, I discussed a cooperation project with the chemical engineering department of Shuimu University, and I was going to borrow it from there... I don't know about my alma mater.
Are you interested? If you have ideas and are interested, I can reserve a few spots."
He briefly talked about the previous cooperation with Shuimu University in Beijing and invited Nanjing University to join.
Although the chemical engineering department of NTU is weak, not as good as physics and astronomy, it is still a top 98 school and one of the earliest chemistry departments established. It is not that weak.
"Computational chemistry? Of course I'm interested. But, are you busy? Don't you have two projects on hand? Plus mathematics research..."
Liu Gaojun didn't think much and agreed directly.
Whether it is cooperating with Xu Chuan, a Nobel Prize winner, or working with Shuimu University, this is a rare opportunity for NTU.
Whether the project will succeed or not is not within his scope of consideration. A project carried out by two top universities and a Nobel Prize winner can still produce some results no matter how bad it is.
And apart from the results, the talents cultivated in project cooperation are also the focus.
It's just that he has some doubts about Xu Chuan's time and energy.
According to his previous understanding, Xu Chuan should currently have two large-scale projects on hand, and this will add one more, that is, three. In addition, I heard that he is also studying the ns equation and other problems.
After so many things, I can probably count the things at hand more than I can count on one hand. This energetic machine is like a robot, and it feels like it only needs engine oil to keep running 24 hours a day.
Hearing this, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, I will arrange it."
Liu Gaojun nodded and said with concern: "The project is actually not very important. Don't squeeze your time so much. The future is still long, so don't drag yourself down."
For Xu Chuan, Nanda pays more attention to and cares about his health. After all, he is a student who came out of here. As long as he still recognizes Nanda as his alma mater, Nanda will continue to benefit from him in the future.
As for scientific research results, he is only 21 years old. Even if one is produced in the next ten years, there will be so many.
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, one of the projects I'm working on is about to be completed. Time and energy are not a problem."
Hearing this, Liu Gaojun was a little surprised: "There are results so soon? Is it about lithium batteries or nuclear energy?"
He knew about Xu Chuan's research. The confidentiality level of the principals of 98 universities was not low, and many national confidential studies were also conducted in universities.
"This is kept secret for now. You will know after a while."
Xu Chuan smiled mysteriously and did not disclose the results of the two projects.
"Then I'll wait for your good news." Liu Gaojun said with a smile.
"certainly."
...
After inviting his alma mater to participate in computational chemistry projects, Xu Chuan left NTU.
The conversation with Principal Liu Gaojun was just a rough arrangement.
The establishment of follow-up projects, resource requirements, personnel arrangements, etc. still require NTU, Shuimu, and others to sit down and discuss in detail.
As for now, it is time to start the next scientific research stage of the "Nuclear Energy Beta Radiation Energy Concentration and Conversion Electric Energy Mechanism Project".
After sending a message to Zheng Hai, Xu Chuan came to Qidong City on the coast.
A few months ago, this place was a deserted area.
But just four months later, the barren hills turned into buildings everywhere. The main building of the Nuclear Energy Research Institute of the huge campus has been completed.
In four months, a nuclear power plant and a research institute covering an area of 2,000 acres were repaired. Even if it was just the main body, this efficiency could only be achieved by China in the world.
】
The title of "Infrastructure Maniac" is not given for nothing, but it was built through one world miracle project after another.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!......
"Qi Gong, how long will it take for the institute to be usable?"
After finding Qi Zhongxing, the chief engineer in charge of the entire project, Xu Chuan smiled and exchanged greetings before asking.
Qi Zhongxing made some calculations and replied: "This depends on the time of supply of radiation isolation materials from your side. If everything goes well, it will be officially put into use in March or April next year."
Xu Chuan nodded and said: "Don't worry about the isolation materials. The corresponding manufacturers have been arranged to produce them. According to the demand data you provided before, a total of 650 tons of isolation materials will be produced."
"The first batch of 300 tons can be delivered before January 15th, and the rest can be completed before January lows."
"If so, I can ensure delivery before March 15th."
Qi Zhongxing nodded and replied seriously, for such a national-level project, the Huaguo Nuclear Industry Construction Group, which is responsible for the construction, has signed a guarantee letter.
There are strict requirements on what standards and when it can be completed.
If the project is not completed within the time limit, the person in charge will be punished, or in the worst case, the project will be delayed. It is not unusual for a single person in charge to stay there for several years.
After getting to know the construction situation at the institute's site, Xu Chuan walked around the park again to ensure that there were no problems with the overall progress of the nuclear energy project, then stood up and prepared to leave.
"On the construction side, I have a lot of trouble with Qi Gong. After the research institute is completed, I will come back to you to ask for credit."
In front of the industrial park, Xu Chuan said goodbye to Qi Zhongxing with a smile.
Although this is a state-owned project, if you want people to do their best, rewards are indispensable.
"No trouble, this is what I should do."
Qi Zhongxing responded quickly, feeling a little happy in his heart. With the energy of the person in front of him, just saying a few words on it would enrich his resume a lot.
Of course, the premise is that he has to do what he is doing well. If something goes wrong with the project, he will probably have to go to court without the other party saying anything.
