Chen An recognized the reward standards set by Fuyao, but decided to add a special grade.
"Special Science Award: The star coins and energy crystals awarded are the same as the first-level award, but the winner also receives the title of Train Science Pioneer, doubling their existing benefits. They can also request a reasonable reward from the train."
All reward rules have been recorded and can be made public at any time. What level of rewards are being offered by the Energy Research Institute this time?
"First-class. After all, the super shield is made with Imperial technology, not original creation."
"But since I've set it up as a special award, I have to use it once, otherwise it won't have a good incentive effect. The suborbital gun is original and has a significant impact on trains. So Steno deserves the special science award."
Chen An considered putting Soto on as well, and Soto provided a lot of help to Steno.
But the core foundation of the suborbital gun is the extraordinary particle accelerator. If Steno had not insisted on doing experiments, it would never have succeeded.
"Since the opening of the research center, a lot of achievements have been made. You will give rewards based on the contribution level. I will prepare an awards ceremony."
Ten seconds later, Fuyao gave all the ratings, and a total of one hundred and thirty-seven scientists won awards.
Chen An checked carefully and found that most of them were fine, except that the ratings of a few people were low, so Chen An raised them.
"The importance of scientific research cannot be limited to trains; it also counts if it has a significant impact on passengers."
After confirming that there was no problem, Chen An asked Fuyao to issue a train announcement.
…
The train will hold its first science awards ceremony in half an hour. All passengers are requested to watch it in time.
Most of the passengers either had nothing to do or were traveling in other surrounding galaxies on exploration ships.
After receiving the train notification, they were very surprised. They didn't expect there would be such an activity.
"It has nothing to do with us. It's an award for scientists."
"The conference is being held online, so it's quite fun to watch. I heard there are new rating rewards, I'd love to check them out."
"I'm now a sixth-level transcendent, which means I've added six hundred years to my lifespan. What if I become a scientist someday?"
"Haha, that's right. As long as you spend time learning, everyone has hope."
The science awards ceremony has become a hot topic on the Internet, and passengers are enthusiastically discussing it, looking forward to seeing who will be on the list.
The most excited people are of course the scientists at the research base.
"Zhou Suo, you will definitely be there this time."
Zhou Zhenfeng couldn't stop smiling, of course he was happy to win the award.
The watch suddenly received a call, it was Qin Mingguang.
"Teacher Zhou, congratulations!"
Zhou Zhenfeng frowned: "It's too early to tell the truth."
"Hehe, I heard your energy research institute has made some progress. Maybe the conductor started the awards ceremony just because of you."
Zhou Zhenfeng, with the typical modesty and tact of the Purple Star people, said calmly, "It's definitely not me, it should be Steno. If we talk about achievements, no one can compare to him."
"That's true. I heard the suborbital cannon he developed is very powerful, and every fleet wants to be the first to equip it. Is there a venue for the awards ceremony?"
"It's being held in the conference room at the command center. I'm on my way there. You can watch it online; it seems to be livestreamed."
On the way there, Zhou Zhenfeng met Steno.
Steno kept his head down the whole time, muttering to himself.
After hearing Zhou Zhenfeng's call, Steno raised his head, his confused eyes widening, and whispered, "If we could replace all the laser cannons on the train with sub-orbital cannons, we would be absolutely invincible at this stage."
Zhou Zhenfeng teased, "You're too obsessed. If someone who doesn't know you sees you, they definitely won't recognize you as the director of the weapons institute. They'll think you're just an ordinary Cobo."
Steno's appearance seems very ordinary to the Purple Star people, but if viewed from the perspective of the Cobo people, he is considered young and handsome.
"Oh, it's the Zhou Institute. Sorry, I was a little distracted. Actually, I prefer something more ordinary, because the more ordinary, the safer. If a large-scale war breaks out, scientists are usually the most dangerous."
Zhou Zhenfeng was surprised: "You also have research in this area?"
Stino stroked the tentacles on his head and said seriously, "If you want to do good research, you must dabble in all walks of life. It's best to have a deep understanding, otherwise your thinking will be limited. I heard that your extraordinary shield was successful?"
"The experiment was successful, but it's still a long way from being implemented."
"What's the problem?" Stino's eyes were full of interest, completely different from his previous indifference.
Just then, Soto came down the aisle with his coat under his arm, and the three of them entered the command center together.
Zhou Zhenfeng talked about the problems he encountered.
"First, creating a shield that covers the entire ship requires a very large energy generator. Second, the ship will be moving very quickly, and spatial positioning may be problematic, causing the shield to collapse prematurely. Furthermore, if the ship is engaged, the shield will block the energy fired by the suborbital cannon, causing it to self-melt. In other words, the suborbital cannon and shield cannot be activated at the same time. And to switch between them smoothly, the material requirements will be very high. It is estimated that new materials will be needed, and they will need a lot of them."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Zhenfeng looked at Stino and Soto expectantly.
The two men thought for a while, and Steno asked first, "Don't you know about spiral crystals yet?"
Zhou Zhenfeng was stunned.
"I really didn't understand it. I thought it could only be used on weapons."
Steno: "The function of spiral crystals is to efficiently transmit super energy. The suborbital cannon uses spiral crystals to shorten the time and greatly reduce the volume. I will give you the information after the conference. You will understand it after you study it thoroughly."
Zhou Zhenfeng was delighted: "Thank you very much. Science really needs more communication. Thinking alone is not as good as a little advice from others."
In fact, Zhou Zhenfeng is not bad, but because he is limited to Zixing Technology, he is naturally inferior to the Cobo people in terms of scientific level.
But Zhou Zhenfeng studies hard and is trying hard to catch up.
After the three entered the conference hall, Soto said, "You're worried about changes in spatial positioning, which could lead to the shield's collapse. Why is spatial positioning necessary? Can't we use energy membranes? Surfaces are always more stable than points, and since a plane can traverse all points, wouldn't it be stronger?"
Zhou Zhenfeng replied, "The Empire's technology uses spatial positioning to transmit energy to form thin sheets, and then countless thin sheets are combined to form a shield. If you want to directly generate a thin film, it is tantamount to re-developing it, and the difficulty increases exponentially."
Soto: "The Sun Worship Empire's extraordinary technology isn't absolutely definitive; it has many flaws. If you can deploy the shield in a flat manner, you can also create gaps at will. This means the suborbital cannon and the shield won't conflict. I personally think you could put more thought into this. If successful, the army's defensive capabilities will be greatly improved."
These words inspired Zhou Zhenfeng. He thanked him repeatedly, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he had his own ideas in his mind.
