4336 (AD 1639), January 15th, the Lantern Festival.
Since the gate of Huaxia University opened at five o'clock in the morning, the entrance of Huaxia University has become bustling with people.
At ten o'clock this morning, the Longteng Award award ceremony will be held in the auditorium of Huaxia University.
Many people who bought tickets chose to come early to attend.
Emperor Su He personally presented the awards to the winners. You must not be late today to leave a bad impression on Emperor Su He.
What's more, today's security check at Huaxia University is also extremely strict.
Get up close and personal with Emperor Suhe, where soldiers from the Qilin Guards have taken over the defense of Huaxia University.
It only takes ten minutes for each person to pass through the security check.
If you don’t come here in advance, you may not even be able to get through the gate.
Kong Renxin, the Minister of Medicine, got off the bus in front of Hua Xia University in his regular uniform.
He did not expect that the project developed by him and a group of old brothers would pass the preliminary review of the Academy of Sciences and would hopefully win the Dragon Award.
Kong Renxin is not busy with work and can still find time to study basic medicine.
As one of the six new ministries, the Ministry of Medicine has the lowest status among the six ministries, even lower than the previous Ministry of Industry.
The Ministry of Medicine manages all medical institutions and doctors across the country and controls the approval of drugs.
Kong Renxin only regarded the medical department as a large imperial hospital.
The medical department is the sixth department with the most women and the most technical department.
Most officials in the Ministry of Industry do not need to understand technology.
The Medical Department is a department founded by the Empress. From the beginning, it has attached great importance to individual medical skills.
You may not be good at medical skills, but you must not understand them.
It is precisely because of this characteristic of the medical department that the work in the medical department is very easy.
As long as there is no sudden plague, Kong Renxin's usual work is very simple.
He only needs to spare half a day to complete his work, and the rest of the time can do his own thing.
Studying basic medicine is not a dereliction of duty.
Kong Renxin thought about what was in his mind and walked quickly into Huaxia University.
"Lao Kong, you're here to see the fun too. I asked everyone to come together the day before yesterday, so why are you shirk-ing yourself away?"
Kong Renxin followed the voice and saw that it was Jinyinhua, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, greeting him.
Zhang Dezhi, the former minister of the Ministry of Industry, suffered a stroke. Now he can't speak. He still led people to treat it himself.
When his condition is so serious, he can only resign and stay in the hospital to rest.
Jinyinhua, the governor of Guangzhou, took over as minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Kong Renxin is the director of the field hospital of the First Army and has been stationed in Guangzhou for a long time.
As the most skilled doctor in Guangzhou, he often treated Honeysuckle, and the two of them were quite familiar with each other.
He knew that Jinyinhua had just taken over as Minister of the Ministry of Industry and wanted to get familiar with the officialdom of the capital.
During this time, Honeysuckle kept in touch with officials he was familiar with.
Kong Renxin saw that they were guests attending the Dragon Awards.
Honeysuckle also invited herself to participate in this grand event the day before yesterday.
In order to prevent Honeysuckle from misunderstanding, Kong Renxin made enemies over this trivial matter.
He showed the invitation letter in his hand and explained: "It's my fault that I didn't make it clear the day before yesterday. I am one of the candidates for the Dragon Award.
There is no way I can be a guest with you in the audience.
We can't be in the same place and can't move together."
Honeysuckle looked at the unique invitation letter in Kong Renxin's hand, and said with envy: "Master Kong has superb medical skills, I never thought that Master Kong could participate in the competition for the Longteng Award.
I am here to wish Mr. Kong that he will win the Dragon Award."
Kong Renxin said politely: "I have only contributed some insignificant results, which are all the efforts of other brothers."
They said hello and approached Huaxia University from two different passages.
…………………………
Liu Dongliang took his wife Qin Yun's hand and came near the auditorium of Huaxia University with an excited look on his face.
A room specially provided for Dragon Award candidates to rest.
Qin Yun said excitedly: "There are many people here this time, and the competition is very fierce.
There are many seniors and seniors who don’t know if we can win the award."
Qin Yun's research and development results did not even pass the preliminary review of the Golden Dragon Award, but only passed the preliminary review of the Silver Dragon Award.
She looked at the people present, and she felt that the status and achievements of many people were better than her own.
When Qin Yun thought of this, she became a little nervous.
Liu Dongliang was very nervous before, but as the Longteng Awards approached, he felt much more relaxed.
He sighed deeply and said: "Honey, don't be nervous.
We are still young and cannot win this year. I believe that given us a few more years to settle down, we will have a high chance of winning in the future.
Now the main focus of physics is mechanics, and I major in electricity.
I shouldn’t be able to win the award this time, but I believe that in ten or twenty years, we will definitely usher in the era of electricity.”
Liu Dongliang was confident enough that his experiment had once again achieved breakthrough results.
But this experimental result was obtained too late.
Just relying on his previous achievements may not necessarily lead to him winning the prize.
If he really wins the prize this time, he will show off his new achievements on the spot.
Qin Yun listened to her husband's statement that they were still young, so there was no need to worry about gains and losses.
She said openly: "In selecting the Dragon Award in recent years, one's achievements must be ignored.
That is the teacher.
Only if the teacher does not participate in the selection of the Dragon Award will we have a chance.
Teachers participate in the selection of the Longteng Award, and no one else has a chance."
Liu Dongliang nodded and agreed from the bottom of his heart: "That's true. It can be said that the teacher created the subject of science.
We have only achieved a little bit in a certain field.
The teacher always said that he was complex but not expert, but he was proficient in various fields of knowledge.
Whenever I get some results, I go to the teacher to ask questions, especially new electromagnetic problems.
I always feel that my teacher has a deeper understanding of electromagnetism than I do.
The teacher simply wrote down a few knowledge points and was able to point out the way forward for me."
Liu Dongliang and Qin Yun are waiting for the official start of the Dragon Award.
They took advantage of this gap to connect with other scholars.
If you look familiar in front of everyone, no one knows when one day you will have to work together to break through a certain problem.
Liu Dongliang felt that there was a technological breakthrough direction that required cooperation with disciplines related to mechanical sound.
…………………………
Yang Tengfei looked confused. He had just returned from Tianjin. As soon as he walked out of the train station, his father pulled him into a carriage to participate in the Longteng Award.
The carriage was speeding on the road, and Yang Tengfei looked confused.
"Dad, when you become a congressman, you just raise your hands every day, and you have a lot of free time.
Your son and I have to manage the family company.
I just visited an industrial zone in Tianjin and learned that the new factory is short of workers.
I have made an appointment with Lu Ming today to discuss things together.
He had opened up channels to the Japanese country and purchased a large number of slaves.
Our textile factory requires a large number of slave workers.
Our family helped behind the scenes, but we did not participate in it.
If the decision is not made immediately, these slave workers will be snatched away by other families."
When Yang Wencai heard what Yang Tengfei said, he immediately slapped Yang Tengfei on the forehead.
"Your father and I are so smart all my life, how could I give birth to such a stupid son like you?
If you break your promise today, you will lose at most a few slave workers. If you don't participate in the Dragon Award, you will lose future development."
Yang Wencai saw that the carriage had stopped. He opened the curtains of the carriage window and pointed at the carriage outside Huaxia University.
There are many luxurious carriages here, and the carriages have company logos on them.
As Dahua's domestic industrial products become more and more abundant.
Nowadays, it is no longer a matter of opening a small factory to produce random things and sell them immediately.
Nowadays, people are not only pursuing cheap things, they are also pursuing high quality and low price.
A group of businessmen began to imitate Shaofu's companies and brand their own products.
Doing this can reduce the time people spend choosing, and in disguise tells people that their products are of high quality and low price.
Several companies that have taken advantage of others have experienced leaps and bounds of development, including the Yang family.
Today's large companies have their own trademarks.
The company's logo can already serve as a representative of the family.
Yang Tengfei looked at the carriage outside. Dahua's top businessmen were all here.
Li Gong and Du Baonian, leaders of the Nanyang Gang who are often away from Dahua, all come here.
Yang Pengfei asked curiously: "Dad, you are all old foxes. Your son and I have only been in the business for a few years, so I don't understand the mystery of it."
Yang Wencai looked at the crowds of people outside the carriage. Many people had tickets to attend the Dragon Awards and were now queuing up outside the door to wait for security check.
There are only 3,000 tickets for the Dragon Award, and most of them are held by dignitaries.
They spent a certain amount of money to win two tickets.
You need to go through an identity check when buying tickets. People who are not clean will not pass the review at all.
Yang Wencai did not answer his son's question, but asked: "Pengfei, what do you think is the important reason why we people can get rich?
Regardless of the fact that we are Hanzhong people, we will develop after the emperor.
This is the most important reason. Without the influence of the general environment, it would be impossible for us to make a fortune.
There were so many businessmen in the Ming Dynasty who had more money than us, and most of them became ordinary people.
But there are many businessmen doing the same thing as our family.
Our Yang family can make a fortune quickly, what do you think makes us better than others?"
Yang Pengfei recalled the history of their Yang family's fortune.
Excluding the influence of the general environment, Emperor Suhe provides an excellent business environment.
He thought about what the Yang family had in common with many businessmen who could make a fortune.
Yang Tengfei's eyes lit up and he said: "Businessmen in Hanzhong have one thing in common: they can rise quickly in the early stage, regardless of their decline in the later stage.
That was the technology that was passed down from the Prince of Qin's palace when it was auctioned at a high price, and a hydraulic factory was created.
Textile factories and woolen textile factories are the key to the rise of our Yang family."
Yang Wencai nodded happily and said: "Yes, our Yang family accepted technology transfer and established a hydraulic factory. This is the beginning of the rise of the Yang family.
Many merchant families that rose early fell into decline.
They have a common characteristic, that is, they have not kept up with the development of steam engines.
Industry must keep up with advanced technology. If the technology falls behind, it will be eliminated.
The Longteng Award represents Dahua’s most advanced technology.
Even the technologies that are candidates for the Dragon Award are worthy of our attention.
The size of the Yang family now allows us to not be the first to eat crabs.
But we must not ignore new technologies, we must understand cutting-edge technologies."
When Yang Pengfei heard what his father said, he realized what he was doing.
If they rest on their laurels, they will soon be eliminated by more advanced factories.
If they want to continue to stay ahead, they must ensure that their factories adopt the most advanced technology.
Advanced technology means lower costs and higher efficiency.
Yang Wencai educated his son well and let him learn lessons.
Only in this way can he continue to lead the development of the Yang family a hundred years later.
The father and son stepped off the carriage, passed the complicated security check, and went to the auditorium of Hua Xia University to watch the first Longteng Award.
…………………………
Melodious music sounded, accompanied by rhythmic drums.
Tian Jiapeng, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, walked to the center of the auditorium of Huaxia University.
When he came to the stage, the noise in the audience immediately disappeared.
Tian Jiapeng announced loudly: "I am Tian Jiapeng, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, presiding over this Dragon Award.
The Longteng Prize is awarded by His Majesty the Emperor to the top achievements in the fields of natural science and technology in order to promote the development of science and technology around the world."
The original intention of the Longteng Award was only to be awarded to people from Greater China.
Tian Jiapeng and Emperor Su He discussed the Dragon Award for the last time.
Emperor Su He chose to expand the scope of candidates for the Dragon Award to all over the world, without restrictions on nationality.
In the early days of the Dragon Award, it could only be awarded to people from Greater China.
In the future, with the frequent exchanges between countries around the world, many princes will go overseas to found countries.
The Dragon Prize cannot refuse the participation of all the Xia countries.
Openness will promote the development of science and technology, while isolation will only lead to the stagnation of science and technology.
After careful consideration, Su He chose the Dragon Prize to be presented to everyone in the world.
China now has the upper hand. He believes in the wisdom of the Han people and will not be at a disadvantage when competing with everyone in the world.
After Tian Jiapeng explained this rule, he smiled and said: "This year, no one from other countries in the world has signed up to participate in the Longteng Award. It can only be competed by many domestic scholars.
I guarantee here that the Dragon Award will be awarded entirely based on the importance of the results, and will accept everyone’s doubts.
The results achieved by the Chinese people are really lagging behind others, and the Longteng Award will never choose lagging results for reasons such as face.
I believe that domestic scholars are among the best and are not afraid of competition."
As soon as Tian Jiapeng finished speaking, the audience immediately burst into warm applause.
The Chinese people originally had the idea of a heavenly empire.
Dahua is now opening its doors to the country, and people are gradually learning about the situation in foreign countries.
People of insight are extremely wary of Western navigation technology.
After all, these Westerners can travel thousands of miles by boat and arrive at the doorstep of Dahua.
But with the victory of the Nanyang War, everyone realized that Dahua still maintained absolute force.
The people's confidence in Dahua and their national pride have not been affected.
China has a profound heritage and a civilization that has been passed down for five thousand years. They look down on everyone in the world.
The people of Dahua have no fear of competing with people from other countries.
Tian Jiapeng waited until the applause ended and waved his arms.
A salute sounded outside the auditorium, and a large number of fireworks rose into the sky to celebrate the opening of the Dragon Awards.
Tian Jiapeng said: "You are here to participate in the Dragon Award, and you don't want me to be verbose here.
I declare that the Dragon Award Ceremony has officially begun.
Please invite His Majesty the Emperor to announce the winners."
Tian Jiapeng immediately stepped down and gave up his position to Emperor Su He.
Su He was wearing a dragon robe, and Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi followed behind him, holding a jade plate.
There are prizes for the Dragon Award in the jade plate.
Su He came to the stage and looked down with a smile.
Everyone in the audience held their breath and listened to Emperor Su He's speech.
"The Dragon Award is the highest award established by the Dahua Royal Family to reward those who have made outstanding contributions in the fields of science and technology.
After the preliminary review by the review committee of the Academy of Sciences, I made the final review.
The candidates for the Dragon Award have been decided, and I will first announce the technology that won the Silver Dragon Award."
Those who hope to win the Silver Dragon Award are waiting for Emperor Su He to announce the Silver Dragon Award.
Of the two awards of the Dragon Award, the Silver Dragon Award is obviously not as high-status as the Golden Dragon Award.
But this is also the highest award in the technical field. Only when you win this award can your life be considered complete.
