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 in a hurry to find her today, so she was destined not to be able to start the 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 with a smile.
In fact, they had already called each other to greet each other during the Spring Festival, and the gifts were all arranged by Chu Bu to be sent to their homes. However, at the beginning of the new year, greetings were never too much, and too many gifts were never too much.
"Happy New Year, Mr. Wu." Chu Hengyuan's voice was filled with joy and a smile. "I heard you started working today? You can take a longer vacation and don't need to be so strict!"
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 studies 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 immediately devoted himself to conquering the NS equation. In the end, he made a proof of the NS equation that shocked the world.
"It's okay, Chief 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!"
"The National Science and Technology Awards Conference?" Wu Tong was surprised. It was only now being held? She had thought it had already been held! The J-35 project team had been isolated from the outside world for some time, so she hadn't paid attention to this matter and simply thought that her information was delayed.
"Yes, this year's conference will be slightly delayed and will officially begin on the 6th!" Minister Chu's voice was steady and calm. The recipients of the most important awards were all still working tirelessly to advance national scientific research. Naturally, the higher-ups wouldn't simply exclude these distinguished individuals for the sake of presenting an award. Honor is the most sincere gift the nation can bestow upon researchers who have made significant contributions to the nation.
"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!"
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 award ceremony will present certificates and prizes to the winners.
The highest award, the natural science and scientific progress award, and the scientific invention award are all the most popular 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 science and technology community and is basically an award for lifetime achievement.
Wu Tong had a fleeting thought about whether she could win a prize at the conference on the 6th, but she didn't even consider the top prize.
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 his significant contributions to manned space flight projects;
Dr. Wu established the key theoretical and technical systems of liver surgery, opened up new areas of basic and clinical research on liver cancer, created the world's largest liver disease research and treatment center, and trained a large number of high-level professionals...
Each of them was a groundbreaking, renowned senior figure. Wu Tong wouldn't underestimate himself, but neither would he be arrogant enough to think he could be compared to these greats!
The purpose of the Science and Technology 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 science and technology award with a wide coverage.
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, 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, scientific and technological managers, and scientific and technological research, development, and management who have made important contributions to China's science and technology cause in bilateral or multilateral international scientific and technological cooperation. Wu Tong has no involvement in cooperation in this regard at all.
Wu Tong felt that some of these three areas were not particularly relevant to her. She felt that although she had made some contributions to materials science, most of them were optimizations based on previous work, not special inventions.
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 participate in the competition 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 Union of Mathematicians 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 didn't set high expectations, maintaining a calm mind as she continued her research. In the four or five days leading up to the sixth meeting, Wu Tong systematically reviewed and thoroughly studied the entire range of cruise and ballistic missiles. She vaguely sensed a direction forward. While still unclear, there were signs of a bright future ahead.
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.
