Chapter 374 Special Award Ceremony
“That thing was just made, we need to test it several more times to confirm its safety...”
“Don’t worry about this, the equipment After it comes out, we will conduct various tests, and each function will be tested at least a hundred times to confirm that there are no problems. We have always paid great attention to safety, and naturally we will not invest in this new equipment rashly.”
Professor Yu laughed out loud, which was a reassurance to Chen Lin.
But the professor soon turned the topic to the upcoming award ceremony: "This time you and our scientific research team will accept the association's highest honor award together. Your identity is regarded as a senior researcher at the Hongshan Base. , but the main research project is not the portal..."
Chen Lin nodded and heard Professor Yu continue to say to him: "But don't be disappointed. The official awards are only group awards, but there are many individual awards for you. President Li will I will personally present you with the contribution award and lifetime honor related awards. This is actually to protect you. Your identity is still top secret. For the entire association, only a very small number of people know your identity.”
"I understand."
Chen Lin hummed, with a calm expression on his face. He had been very aware that such a situation would happen since he arrived at the Hongshan Base. After the portal opened, In order to protect his personal safety, the association adopted the suggestions of Professor Yu and others and hid all his identity information. Most people only knew Chen Lin's military rank and some special positions, and had no idea that Chen Lin opened the portal.
Obviously, this has indeed perfectly protected Chen Lin's safety. At least so far, Chen Lin has not encountered any dangerous situations.
This proves that the previous measures are very effective.
Domestic aircraft have not yet been replaced with the new engines and engines on the Origin Star. As a result, although their speed is faster than ground transportation, it still takes a lot of time to fly from the Hongshan Base in Shanhai City to Xanadu Airport.
At this time, Xanadu is in the coldest time of the year, with the temperature hovering around zero during the day. Chen Lin and the others couldn't help but shiver when they got off the plane.
Professor Yu smiled and greeted the secretary-general who came to greet them. The secretary-general was none other than Anwei, whom Chen Lin had met before.
“Meet Mr. Chen again.”
Secretary An smiled and came up to shake hands with Chen Lin, which made Chen Lin somewhat flattered: “I didn’t expect Team Leader An to be like this The position really surprised me.”
"Haha, Mr. Chen was joking. I was just doing what I could do. After what happened before, the association took it very seriously. I happened to be working at Origin Star at the time, so they sent me over to guide the work."< br>
Secretary An smiled and said: "Mainly because of Mr. Chen's special status, it is necessary for us to do this."
Chen Lin shook hands with An Wei tightly. , and immediately everyone got in the car under the guidance of Secretary An.
He was still guided to sit with An Wei, Professor Yu and others in the car. Secretary An seemed extremely approachable. He first asked everyone about their recent work status, and then asked about work problems and difficulties. Finally, he encouraged everyone to exert their energy and said that the association would support their related work as much as possible, not to have any psychological pressure, and just do their best in scientific research...
For Chen Lin, Secretary Anwei’s words But the content has been changed.
"Does Mr. Chen have any needs recently?"
"Needs?"
"Yes, Mr. Chen is 26 years old, right? This age is actually not too young. If you are willing, The association can help you solve your marriage problem."
"Ahem, the Labor Association has taken the trouble, but I don't want to get married yet."
"It seems that Mr. Chen. Not ready yet... It's okay. Mr. Chen can contact me at any time if he has these ideas, and I will help you solve it."
Secretary An smiled and said to Chen Lin: "If you don't talk about these things, do you have any other ideas?"
"For example, the needs on the earth."
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he didn't know what to say, until Professor Yu next to him half reminded and half spoke on his behalf, talking about virtual devices.
“I heard that Chen Lin is planning to open a company before. The young man is very ambitious and wants to make a name for himself.”
“Company? I don’t know what kind of company it is. ?”
Secretary An was not surprised at all and still had a smile on her face.
"Secretary An should remember the content of the project he submitted before, right? We have modified and upgraded it several times with the help of the pioneers and AI from Blue Sea Star, and it is now very mature."
Hearing Professor Yu's words, Secretary An's eyes flickered, and then he looked directly at Chen Lin: "Do you want to open a related company?"
Chen Lin also reacted at this time. Coming over, he nodded without hesitation.
“Virtual devices, just like what was described in those online game novels more than ten years ago, or called virtual reality, can upload the wearer’s consciousness into the virtual world... My idea was originally reported It’s been made very clear that we can create a digital world like a virtual online game, just like the original online game novel.”
Chen Lin spoke for a long time, and Secretary An showed no intention of interrupting. He patiently listened to all his words and then nodded slightly.
“I understand.”
The smile on Secretary An’s face never changed. He said to Chen Lin: “The idea is very good, but we must consider the equipment. The stability of this type of thing directly affects the wearer's brain consciousness, so you must be cautious when using the device."
"There will be no problem in establishing a company. If Mr. Chen is ready at that time. Well, the association will come forward to help you solve the early problems, don’t worry.”
“Thank you very much!”
Chen Lin immediately stepped forward and grabbed Secretary An's hands with joy. Of course, his hands were also wearing special gloves.
Secretary An calmly smiled and pulled out his hand, and then talked about the next operations after their group arrived at the ceremony venue. Chen Lin naturally listened very carefully, after all, they were about to go. It is very formal, far beyond what scientific research sites and comprehensive bases like Hongshan Base can compare with.
The minibus stopped slowly. Chen Lin and his group slowly got out of the car. Chen Lin raised his eyes and saw the landmark building of the Red Dragon Association. The huge square building stood directly in front. There are five sets of stairs, extending all the way to the top door. The guards on both sides stood at their posts intently, giving people an invisible sense of majesty.
“This is my first time here.”
Chen Lin followed Professor Yu. At this time, Yu Linyu could already walk normally like a normal person. The maintenance equipment obtained from the Origin Star had undergone several upgrades and modifications. At this time, it was now possible for Professor Yu to walk normally. The disabled person regains a semblance of "normality."
"Are you nervous, young man?"
Professor Yu smiled heartily and saw Chen Lin showing a helpless expression of "What do you think?"
"After all, this is the core of the association, this is Xanadu!"
Chen Lin lowered his voice and said to Professor Yu: "I didn't think so much before I came. I only thought about it after I arrived. Realizing the majesty here, I saw that the guards on both sides felt nervous!”
"There is no need to be so nervous. The main reason for our group is that we are in a hurry. If we follow the previous process, we will stay here a week or even two weeks in advance. The award ceremony is usually held later, so there is enough time. Let's prepare..."
Professor Yu comforted Chen Lin with a smile: "The inside is actually similar to the auditorium of the Hongshan Base, and there are not many people watching below, so there is no need for you to be nervous. When the time comes, we can just go up to the stage and receive the trophy and certificate from the president.”
Chen Lin took a deep breath, but he still felt a little nervous. The white marble steps under his feet were not high, but he seemed to feel like it. It's like climbing Mount Tai...
In fact, the whole process is very fast, because the situation at the Hongshan Base is special, and Chen Lin's identity is special. At present, the main thing is to transport resources from the Origin Star to the Earth. Chen Lin returns The Earth side directly caused the Origin Star to be unable to deliver various materials to the Earth. A delay of one hour was equivalent to a huge loss. This directly caused Chen Lin to accompany Professor Yu and others to Shangdu, which was a rush and slow task.
Chen Lin and his party didn’t even stay here longer. After arriving at the scene, they were immediately taken to the stage. After waiting for a few minutes, President Li was surrounded by a group of people. When he got on the stage, he smiled and said hello to the people on the stage. As a steady voice rang out, the collective awards presented to Professor Yu and other researchers at the Hongshan Base were officially awarded to them.
At this time, Chen Lin also received a separate certificate for the collective award as one of them. Although the scene was not fancy, it gave him an unprecedented feeling. After all, when he arrived in the building here, he received a certificate from Chairman Li. Presenting an award in person is something that 99% of ordinary people cannot do.
The award ceremony ended quickly after taking pictures. Many scientific researchers, professors and scholars at the scene were invited by various parties. Those who gave lectures gave lectures and taught lectures. Only Chen Lin followed Secretary An. Here we quickly entered the back of the auditorium building.
Here, Chen Lin met President Li alone for the first time.
"Chen Lin, we meet again."
President Li smiled and greeted Chen Lin. He did not take the initiative to extend his hand. It was obvious that he knew exactly what Chen Lin's hands were. What magic.
"President Li...Okay."
Chen Lin smiled nervously at the middle-aged man in front of him.
“I can see that you are a little nervous. Actually, you don’t need to be so restrained. It’s not the first time that you and I have met... Besides, haven’t I often appeared on various TV news before?”
Chairman Li's words made Chen Lin couldn't help laughing, but after realizing the scene here, he quickly stopped laughing and said to the president of the association in front of him: "This is my first time here. It’s true that I’m a little nervous.”
“It’ll be fine if I come back more often.”
President Li smiled and picked up the round badge from the square box held by the staff who came over. "Time is urgent. The work on Origin Star depends on you to maintain it. After you come back, Origin Star will deliver resources to the earth." It stopped, which is a loss for the association."
"So let's keep everything simple and speed up as much as possible."
Chen Lin nodded slightly and immediately heard Li Hui. The leader continued: "You have made an indelible contribution to the entire Red Dragon Association, providing the association with the possibility to open up a unique branch path in the current global competition. People can substitute and question.”
“This is an exclusive medal awarded to you.”
President Li put the medal in his hand directly on Chen Lin’s neck. The golden medal was engraved with extremely beautiful patterns, and the golden light shone with a strange luster. Chen Lin realized that the medal was most likely fused with special minerals from the Origin Star, otherwise it would not be so beautiful.
"Thank you, President Li. I also thank the association for its trust and support."
"You are being humble. I should express my personal gratitude to you on behalf of the association."
President Li smiled He patted Chen Lin on the shoulder and said, "The contribution you have made is enough to leave a name in the history books. The association will never forget your huge contribution, so we have listed you as a lifetime honorary association member. Don't underestimate this." Since the establishment of the association decades ago, as of today, the number of people holding this award has not exceeded fifty.”
“With this status, you will enjoy it in the Red Dragon Association in the future. Top-notch benefits, including medical care, security, food, travel... This is something you can’t find on the Internet or even within the association, and your identity will no longer be ordinary.”
< br>“As long as the association exists for one day, you can enjoy the top-level treatment brought to you by the association.”
Chen Lin had been mentally prepared before, but after these words came out of the mouth of the association president, he was still a little unbelievable.
"This is what you deserve."
President Li smiled and said to Chen Lin: "In other words, your destiny will be closely linked to the association. "
Chen Lin nodded slowly, and then heard Chairman Li's voice again: "I heard from Secretary An that you are planning to open a company somewhere, Xanadu or Xanadu? Shanhai City, or your hometown or any other city under the jurisdiction of the association... As long as you speak, I can divide those places to you at any time, no matter how core the area is."
"Ahem... …That’s not good, sir?”
"What's wrong? If the project you envisioned is developed, it will not be a problem to replace 90% of today's technology companies. In addition, as you said before, this is just a leather company, and you are responsible for the superficial Publicity, the association is responsible for content and equipment maintenance... It is actually a state-owned enterprise, so it is very suitable."
Chen Lin did not expect that the chairman would know what he said casually. He was deeply shocked and shook his head at the same time: "I don't want to be anywhere yet, but according to the current situation, I can only be responsible for the portals of the Origin Star and the Earth, so the best place is still Shanhai City..."
