Chapter 308 "Fu of Destiny"
On December 31, 2013, an announcement was published on the official website of Tangdu Jiaotong University.
The content of the announcement is very simple, and many people have not paid attention to it.
This announcement is about Tangdu Jiaotong University’s application for the 2014 National Science and Technology Award approved by Qin Province.
The selection for the National Science and Technology Awards actually started a year ago.
In this announcement, Wang Donglai's name did not exist at all.
However, Wang Donglai’s name appeared in the final list of winners.
And such a situation, in the eyes of people who don’t know the inside story, is undoubtedly more suspicious of a back door.
However, before the news spread on a large scale, it immediately received an almost harsh rebuttal.
The official account of Tangdu Jiaotong University personally refuted the rumors and rectified Wang Donglai's name.
Not only that, even many official media in Qin Province also forwarded rumors refuting information from Tang Capital Jiaotong University.
This doubt was completely suppressed before it made waves.
Wang Donglai naturally knew this situation.
But regarding this situation, Wang Donglai just thought about it and knew what was going on.
This award usually rewards last year’s technology this year, and there will be some lag.
Moreover, Wang Donglai did not apply for this award.
Most likely, the school registered his name, but when it was announced, his name was not there.
Then Zheng Hua was promoted halfway and recommended Wang Donglai's artificial intelligence medical auxiliary diagnosis system again in the name of the education authority. Only then did Wang Donglai win the second prize.
As you can imagine, Zheng Hua definitely put in a lot of effort in this.
After thinking about it, Wang Donglai's mood did not change much.
He kept in mind the support given to him by Zheng Hua, Xu Songyao and Tangdu Jiaotong University.
There is no need for any fancy things to express your attitude.
On the plane, the professors from Tangdu Jiaotong University heading to the capital were extremely excited, and they were not at all as elegant as they usually were in the lecture hall.
This is not surprising, it is still an honor to receive this award.
Unlike in previous years, some award-winning projects had already seriously lagged behind the market when the awards were given, giving people a sense of disobedience.
This time, the project that won the special prize was the research and development and application of ultra-deepwater semi-submersible drilling platforms, and the recommending unit was Huaguo Offshore Oil Corporation.
It is not surprising that this technology was selected as the special prize.
After all, oil resources are still very important. Offshore oil exploration is extremely troublesome. Once a breakthrough is achieved, it will be of great significance.
The first prize under the special prize includes my country's first effective prevention and control of the H1N1 influenza pandemic and integrated innovative research, key technologies for the construction and operation of my country's oil and gas strategic channels, and key high-end fault-tolerant computer systems Technology and application, innovative development and application of 600℃ ultra-supercritical thermal power unit steel pipes, complete set of digital automatic dyeing technology and equipment for cheese yarn, key technologies and equipment for fully mechanized caving at high mining heights in extra-thick coal seams, secondary development of Chinese patent medicines Research and development of core technology systems and their industrialization, design, manufacturing and maintenance of important pressure vessels under extreme conditions, basin water cycle evolution mechanism and efficient utilization of water resources, efficient exploration and key technologies of Yuanba ultra-deep bioreef gas fields, modern prediction Innovation and application of key technologies for stressed concrete structures, assessment and prevention of seismic geological disasters in Sichuan, research and development and industrial application of efficient chemical viscosity reduction technology for ultra-deep wells and ultra-heavy oil, State Grid Smart Grid Innovation Project and other high-tech projects.
The second prize below is for some specific technical project breakthroughs.
It can be said that there is no problem in the selection.
Although Wang Donglai’s artificial intelligence medical auxiliary diagnosis system has broad prospects, its current performance is still far from the level of first prize.
Wang Donglai will naturally not be affected by this.
After all, he is probably the only one in the world who knows how the future will change.
Through these studies of these technologies, Wang Donglai also made up for the omissions in his previous life.
Many people do not pay attention to the development of science and technology, not only because the threshold for science and technology is too high, but also because these are really boring.
But when some shocking ‘black technology’ appears, the country’s development will be exclaimed.
I had no idea that those so-called technological breakthroughs had actually been researched and invested in manpower and resources long before.
Another point is that a technological breakthrough does not mean that it can be directly applied to the whole society and be known by others.
The diffusion and penetration of technology takes time, just like lithium-sulfur batteries. If we don’t cooperate with BYD and CATL, we can only rely on Galaxy Technology’s own strength to rebuild factories, open up the supply chain, and train qualified workers. , process flow optimization, it will take at least two or three years to complete this set.
Not to mention, the sales problem after production.
So, many technologies may have been completed in the laboratory, but their actual application may be one or two years behind.
In addition, there is another reason, that is, people's attention and energy are limited.
Many people do not have the energy or interest to pay attention to many technological development breakthroughs.
Just like some of the technologies that won the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award this time, such as innovation and application of key technologies for efficient lychee production, cultivation and application of new varieties of poplar high-yield, high-quality and efficient industrial resource materials, Henan Creation and application of Zong No. 5 and Golden Group corn germplasm, creation of excellent disease-resistant watermelon germplasm, breeding and promotion of Jingxin series new varieties, establishment and application of Daheng broiler breeding and breeding technology system, etc.
Just by looking at the names, you can roughly tell what the research directions and content of these technologies are.
It’s either for food or for use.
These technological breakthroughs are of great significance to society and the Chinese people, but the attention they arouse is not high.
……
After arriving in the capital.
Wang Donglai and his party were properly accommodated.
Every science and technology award conference has thousands of participants.
It is no exaggeration to say that these scholars and professors who came to the capital are the backbone of the domestic academic and scientific circles, even pillars.
If something goes wrong with these people, the consequences can be imagined.
Therefore, the state has arranged extremely strict security for these treasure-like scientific researchers and professors.
With an exaggerated arrangement, everyone is protected.
After Wang Donglai and others arrived in the capital, it was naturally impossible to be locked up in a room or hotel. The security was not under house arrest.
Every science and technology award conference is an academic event in China.
After all, the scholars and professors who can come here are all elites in their respective fields. When a group of elites meet together, they naturally want to communicate with each other and confirm.
And this is also a purpose of the Science and Technology Award Conference.
Wang Donglai had just finished packing when Academician Huang from the Huaguo Mathematical Society found him and said that he was going to take Wang Donglai to meet people.
China has a population of nearly 1.4 billion, making it an absolutely populous country.
And a person can only know a thousand people in his lifetime.
Classmates, fellow villagers, colleagues, friends, and relatives are pretty much these.
There is a saying that the class of a person's friends proves his own class. The words are rough and the reasoning is not rough!
The social circle of farmers revolves around the countryside, while the social circle of workers revolves around factories.
As for the social circle of academicians, the lowest one must be a professor.
"By the way, I haven't congratulated you in person yet. At the age of twenty-one, you won the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award. It's amazing!"
"I had thought about it before, sooner or later. There will be your name, but I didn’t expect it to come so soon.”
"What's even more unexpected is that the project you were selected for this time is an artificial intelligence-assisted medical-assisted diagnosis system."
After Huang Yun took Wang Donglai to introduce it, he congratulated Wang Donglai and said.
Hearing Huang Yun's words, Wang Donglai smiled and replied: "Academician Huang is so polite, I didn't expect that!"
"This time, while many people are here, you and I will In the past, we became familiar with each other, which will be good for your future development.”
“You have also won foreign awards such as the Fields Medal and the Abel Prize. In terms of international awards, you are definitely the first. People.”
"However, the awards you receive in China are seriously inconsistent with your academic status in the world. Some of this is related to the fact that you know too few people."
"General domestic awards are just fine. Since you can win the National Science and Technology Progress Award, it proves that The above has noticed you, so you only need to go around with me now, and I will introduce you to some academicians, which will also be beneficial to your future development."
"How about it?"
Huang Yun persuaded Wang Dong Ali with some earnestness.
Because Huang Yun had already seen what Wang Donglai was thinking, he didn't want to go.
"Academician Huang, thank you very much for your kindness, but I am a stupid person who can't say nice things, have a hard bone, and am not used to bending down for no reason, so I won't go."
Wang Donglai naturally knows that Huang Yun had good intentions, but he was not prepared to do it.
Indeed, in terms of domestic awards, he only won the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award and the Sir Shao Mathematics Award, but other than that, there were no other awards.
A mathematical genius who has won three major awards in the international mathematics community has proved many world-wide mathematical problems. However, he failed in many domestic selections. This is simply a big joke.
There is also a very high-sounding excuse for these awards, that is, Wang Donglai did not sign up to participate.
However, everyone knows what the real situation is.
The original value of these awards was not high enough, and Wang Donglai didn’t care much about them.
That's why when Huang Yun said this, he did not hesitate and firmly chose to refuse.
Looking at Wang Donglai's determined expression, Huang Yun was silent for a moment before speaking out: "A tree that is as beautiful as the forest wind will destroy it. You have achieved such results at such a young age. In fact, you don't need to remind me. You should also know that many people will be dissatisfied with you. "
"General things will not have any impact on you, but some things may not."
"It stands to reason that if any domestic university professor can win the Fields Medal or the Abel Prize, there is a high probability that he will be selected as an academician."
"However, if it is replaced by It might be a little difficult for you.”
Having said these words, Huang Yun is definitely willing to give up.
And, it is true that he is really optimistic about Wang Donglai and has good intentions towards Wang Donglai. Otherwise, it would be impossible to say such things.
Wang Donglai also understood this, and said with a smile: "Academician Huang, I have also read "Ode to Destiny."
"People often say that a tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. In fact, they have misunderstood the meaning of this sentence."
"If understood in context, the meaning is exactly the opposite."
said After finishing, Wang Donglai picked it up and said, "Mu Xiuyu In the forest, the wind will rush it; if it is piled up on the bank, the current will be turbulent; if you walk higher than others, the crowd will not be far away. If you don't lose it, why? You will become famous by pursuing your ambition, and you will risk troubles and dangers to achieve your goal. The name, and the history of it, were discussed at that time. The reason why he was there was calculated. Zixia said: "Death and life have destiny, and wealth and honor are in heaven." Therefore, if the way is to be carried out, the destiny will be noble, so Yi Yin and Lu Shang will prosper. In the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Baili Zifang was used in the Qin and Han Dynasties. It is about to be abolished, and it is about to be humble. How can a gentleman be ashamed of it and not be able to do it? "
"Compared with others, I believe in my own ability. ! "
Huang Yun couldn't help but smile a little bitterly when he heard this.
Why didn't he understand what Wang Donglai meant? It was precisely because he understood that he smiled bitterly.
Young!
This is the first thought in Huang Yun's heart, and the second thought is childish and naive.
There are many capable and capable people in the world, but not every capable and capable person gets what he deserves.
Tu Aao's academic performance cannot be said to be low, but he does not have academician status.
Although to her, this title doesn't mean anything, but if it doesn't exist, it means nothing. Some people can take advantage of this to disgust her and block her.
There are not many such things.
Huang Yun naturally understood it very clearly.
It was precisely because of his understanding, plus his good impression of Wang Donglai and his cherishment of talents that made Huang Yun behave like this.
As a result, Wang Donglai rejected his kind intentions.
Huang Yun couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"Dong Lai, I think you should be a smart person, why are you so ignorant about this matter!"
"I can't harm you, and you can't do anything to me. What good is it? I wish you could be as powerful as possible. Only then would it be good for me. "
"What I said is from the bottom of my heart, and it is for your own good."
"The award meeting has not been held yet, there is still time, so you should take care of yourself first. Think about it, if you figure it out, come to me anytime.”
"I dare not say too much. When you are about thirty years old, it shouldn't be a big problem if you have an academician title on your head."
"How you choose depends on what you think. I'll wait for you. News."
Huang Yun finished saying this in one breath and was about to leave without waiting for Wang Dong to answer.
However, at this time.
A well-dressed young man in casual clothes and an elegant secretary came outside Wang Donglai's room.
"Professor Wang, a leader wants to see you. Please come with me!"
Huang Yun's expression suddenly became serious. He glanced at the two of them and then looked away.
There are no cases of fake staff here, so Huang Yun is not worried.
At this moment, his heart was already scratching with curiosity like a cat's claws.
What kind of leader would want to see Wang Donglai, and what would be the purpose of meeting him?
While Huang Yun was thinking, Wang Donglai also walked out and said to his secretary: "Okay, please lead the way."
Watching Wang Donglai leave, Huang Yun took a long time to react and asked himself in confusion Said: "Did I really underestimate him?"
