Chapter 320 National Award
Even earlier than the graduate student interview is the awarding of the national award.
Not long after she hung up the phone with Dean Pan, Wu Tong's hotline rang again. This made her raise an eyebrow when she put down her pen and answered the phone. They were rushing to find her today, so she was destined to not be able to start her research today.
However, Wu Tong was not impatient at all. Her hotline would not be served by those messy advertising and sales calls. It was normal for it not to ring once in ten or twenty days.
However, those who can call are all serious matters.
"Minister Chu, Happy New Year!" After seeing who was calling, Wu Tong picked up the phone and greeted them with a smile.
In fact, during the Spring Festival, they had already called each other to greet each other, and the gifts were arranged by Chu's department to be sent to their homes. However, at the beginning of the new year, greetings are never too much, and too many gifts are never too much.
"Happy New Year, Mr. Wu." Chu Hengyuan's voice was full of joy. "I heard that you started working today? You can take a longer vacation and don't need to be too tense!"
Looking at the achievements Wu Tong has made in the past two years, each one may be the result of others' years or even a lifetime of hard work. Few scholars would use their time so intensively, participate in so many research projects in such a short period of time, and deliver such great results.
"Your health is the most important thing. The country is not in a hurry!" Last year, except for a few days of recuperation, Mr. Wu was not idle. Even during the recuperation, Mr. Wu only relaxed for a few days and then immediately devoted himself to the solution of the NS equation. Finally, he made a proof of the NS equation that shocked the world.
"It's okay, Director Chu. Research itself is a fun and exploratory thing for me!" Wu Tong laughed. She had just entered the school and knew everything she needed to know.
"You still need to relax moderately. The Science and Technology Awards Conference on the 6th will be held in the Great Hall. Please take the time to attend!"
"National Science and Technology Awards Conference?" Wu Tong was surprised. Is it being held now? She thought it had already been held! The J-35 project team had been isolated from the world for some time, so she had not paid attention to this matter and just thought that her news was delayed.
"Yes, this year's conference will be slightly delayed and will be officially held on the 6th!" Chu said calmly. The winners of the most important awards are still working hard to advance the country's scientific research. The higher-ups will not let the heroes miss the event just for the sake of awarding them. Honor is the most sincere gift the country gives to scientific researchers who have made contributions to the country.
"It's my honor, Chief Chu. I will be there on time on the 6th!" Wu Tong agreed without hesitation. She definitely couldn't miss such a grand event.
"See you at the meeting on the 6th!"ยทยทยท
After hanging up the phone, Wu Tong was a little stunned.
China has established five national science and technology awards: the National Highest 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 awards ceremony will present certificates and bonuses to the winners.
The highest award, the natural science and scientific progress award, and the scientific invention award are all the most watched highlights. Among them, the highest science and technology award has a prize of 5 million yuan and no more than two winners each year. It is the highest honor in China's scientific and technological community and is basically an award for lifetime achievement.
Wu Tong actually had a little thought about whether she could win the award at the conference on the 6th, but she didn't even consider the highest award.
All the scientific researchers who have won this award have made great contributions to the country. They are pioneers and leaders in the field of hybrid rice research and have made outstanding contributions to the development of my country's grain production and agricultural science.
Mr. Wang has made outstanding contributions to the development of strategic rockets, ground-to-ground tactical rockets and launch vehicles, especially in manned space flight projects;
Mr. Wu founded the key theoretical and technical system of liver surgery, opened up a new field of basic and clinical research on liver cancer, established the world's largest liver disease research and treatment center, and trained a large number of high-level professional talents...
Each of them is a pioneering and famous senior. Wu Tong will not underestimate himself, but he also does not think that he is comparable to these big guys!
The purpose of the Scientific Invention Award is to reward scientific inventions, and the scope of the Science and Technology Progress Award covers all industries of the national economy. It is a broad-based science and technology award.
In terms of the nature of the projects completed by the candidates and candidate units, they include the development of new products and new technologies, the promotion and application of new technologies, the industrialization of high-tech technologies, enterprise technological transformation and technological progress, technological foundations and major engineering construction, the introduction, digestion and absorption of foreign new technologies in the development of major equipment, or the independent development of innovative technologies.
There is no need to consider the International Science and Technology Cooperation Award. This award is given to foreign scientists, engineers, technicians, science and technology managers and scientific and technological research, development, and management who have made important contributions to China's science and technology cause through bilateral or multilateral international science and technology cooperation. Wu Tong has never been involved in any cooperation in this regard.
In Wu Tong's opinion, some of these three items should not be related to her. She felt that although she had made some achievements in materials science, most of them were optimizations based on the work of her predecessors, and there were no special inventions or creations.
Therefore, Wu Tong felt that if she really had a chance to win an award, it would probably be the National Natural Science Award. The two achievements of proving the Goldbach conjecture and the NS-equation should give her the opportunity to compete for this award.
However, according to international practice, the proof of such a major achievement requires at least two to three years, and possibly as long as ten years, before it can be truly recognized by the world. Although it has been recognized by scientists around the world through academic conferences and the International Mathematical Union has positioned it as a theorem, its real impact still needs time to ferment.
After all, she is still young and is not too anxious to win the award.
Therefore, after a rough analysis, Wu Tong felt that he was most likely an ordinary participant. However, being able to participate in such a meeting was already very good.
Wu Tong did not set high expectations, and continued her research with a very stable mentality. In the four or five days before the sixth meeting, Wu Tong systematically reviewed and thoroughly studied the entire cruise missile and ballistic missile. She vaguely felt the direction to move forward. Although it was not very clear, there were already signs of seeing the blue sky after the clouds were cleared.
On the 6th, with the arrival of the traditional Lantern Festival, the National Science and Technology Awards Conference kicked off, and the award ceremony venue, the Great Hall, was fully prepared to receive the guests.
