Chapter 313: Additional Election?
No matter how much she has achieved, these teachers are her elders. It is proper to pay New Year's greetings and respect teachers. Last year, she was working on a project, so she didn't talk about other things. She just focused on the project and made special arrangements.
This year, when she was in Beijing, Wu Tong did not ignore this point and visited her teacher in the proper manner as a disciple.
Earlier than expected, Dean Pan and Professor Zhou Wenping met Wu Tong. They were very surprised to have Wu Tong come to their house. They smiled mysteriously and revealed to Wu Tong the special arrangement of Beijing University to help Wu Tong submit the nomination.
"Academician? Dean Pan, Teacher Zhou, you..." Wu Tong opened her eyes wide and was shocked when she heard it for the first time. She was really flattered and shocked. She never thought that the school had already started to help her get this arrangement.
Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences can be said to be the highest academic title in science and technology established in China, and it is a lifelong honor! In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the original committee of the academic department was established in imitation of the big brother next door. Later, during a special period, it was suspended for 10 to 20 years. In 1990, the election of academic department members was carried out again, and it was determined to be carried out every two years.
The selection criteria for academicians flashed through Wu Tong's mind. She remembered that they were based on academic achievements, contributions to promoting China's scientific cause, and loyalty to the people's cause.
Researchers, professors or scholars and experts with equivalent titles who have made systematic and creative achievements and major contributions in the field of science and technology, love the motherland, have a decent academic style and are Chinese nationals, including Chinese scholars and experts living in Hong Kong, Macao Special Administrative Region and Taiwan Province, as well as residing in other countries, may be recommended and elected as academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Academicians who are 80 years old or older will be awarded the title of Senior Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Foreign scholars and experts who have made important contributions to China's science and technology and have a high academic status internationally can be recommended and elected as foreign academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences...
If it is said that Wu Tong has no understanding of this area, that is not the case. She can be said to be well-informed. These basic experiences are basically just glanced at and stored in her memory.
What she hadn't expected was that at her current age, she could already be included in this selection! In her usual impression, this kind of lifetime honor achievement always requires a certain age to match such a position. She is still young now, and she has never thought about that honor for the time being.
However, she didn't expect that without her knowing, the teachers had already reported the progress to her.
"Haha... It's rare to see our Professor Wu so surprised!" Wu Tong is usually calm and steady, especially in research. He is used to big scenes. Now that they see the surprised expression on Wu Tong's face, they all can't help but smile with the care and concern of an elder.
"Dean Pan, Teacher Zhou, I can't help but be shocked. That's academician, an honor I never dared to think about!" She had just stepped into the adult line, and the list of academicians for election was usually announced in March or April. Even if she was one year older at birth and one year older during the Chinese New Year according to her hometown, she was only twenty years old. With such an honor, she felt a great sense of responsibility.
Wu Tong didn't say that she didn't have the confidence that she might be able to receive this honor in the future. Her academic achievements were there, and she would accumulate more in the future. She would eventually reach this level. However, she never expected that this opportunity would come so quickly!
Dean Pan smiled even more deeply. Wu Tong still had not properly positioned his academic level and his position in China! In terms of academic achievements alone, Wu Tong could be considered the best in China, and the best by a huge margin.
Who else could have this honor but her? If Wu Tong was not qualified for this honor, the election of academicians this year could be suspended directly to avoid being discussed by the public and discrediting this highest honor!
"Don't worry, Wu Tong. This is not an honor imposed on you by us. It is what you deserve. Whether it is the three major conjectures you proved before, the proof of the Goldbach conjecture, or the proof of the Millennium Problem NS-equation, these major achievements make it well-deserved for you to be elected as an academician of the Academy of Sciences!"
Even if Wu Tong's confidential achievements in materials science are included in the above, Wu Tong is worthy of being an academician of the two academies!
Although Dean Pan did not know the details of Wu Tong's achievements that were protected for confidentiality, the protection of Wu Tong and the rewards from the independent research institute... this series of actions made him feel that Wu Tong must have made a great contribution like his mathematical achievements.
This was an implicit guidance given to him by the higher-ups who thought he was an old comrade who could be trusted, so that he could provide convenient support and better protection for Wu Tong.
"If you don't make it into this sequence, I have no face to stay in this sequence!" Zhou Wenping added. He was also one of the candidates nominated for additional election this year. However, compared with Wu Tong's sure win, he was not a bit worse. It's just that his academic achievements could definitely not be compared with Wu Tong's. In other words, if they were elected together with Wu Tong in this session, they were destined to be eclipsed.
However, Zhou Wenping felt that being able to serve as Wu Tong's foil and being selected together with Wu Tong was also an interesting thing. He did not mind comparing his academic achievements with Wu Tong's. In this world, there were only a few people who could achieve the same miraculous achievements as Wu Tong, and there was only one shining sun, Wu Tong.
However, his inclusion in this additional selection sequence is the result of his solid academic achievements over the years. Although Zhou Wenping is ashamed that he has not made greater achievements, his solid resume is not in vain.
"Thank you, Dean Pan and Teacher Zhou, for your concern for me again!" Wu Tong was deeply grateful. To be honest, she felt a little ashamed that she had not made much teaching contribution to the school in the past six months. In the second quarter, she was almost out of touch. However, when she was busy, the teachers did not hesitate at all and still made arrangements for her.
"This is not what we should do. Wu Tong, please don't be polite with us. Being polite will only make us feel distant. Your achievements and honors are also the glory of our Peking University and our School of Mathematics. Your proof of the NS-equation is an academic achievement that surpasses thousands of ordinary teaching tasks. The school has no objection to your concentration on research!" Wu Tong is currently in his academic ascendancy. It would be their fault for distracting Wu Tong.
Contributing to the country is an obligation. Most of the top math and physics experts in their school have participated in confidentiality missions, and he and Xiao Zhou have both participated in them. Wu Tong does not need to worry about these.
Wu Tong is capable of achieving greater research results, so their school has asked Wu Tong to engage in ordinary teaching tasks. It is a real waste of talent to restrict Wu Tong in this way.
