Chapter 380 Award Ceremony (Part 1)
The previous four Golden Durian Award Ceremonies of the Wesson Science Society were all held in the auditorium of Wesson University. In addition to the winners, the attendees were scholars. Now It is inconvenient to travel far, there will not be many people, and the auditorium is sufficient.
On August 8, 1034, the 5th Golden Durian Award Ceremony was postponed for more than half a month to catch up with the first World Expo. In order to expand its influence and popularity, Psyche invited many people from Dignitaries and businessmen from various countries arranged the venue in a football stadium north of Weissenburg City.
Frank, Florence and Jurgen had dinner early, put on their formal clothes, and arrived at the venue in the family carriage.
Since Diesel's research field shifted from air guns to implosion engines and achieved great success, there have been more and more new types of transportation in Weissenburg.
Frank has been envious of masters who ride in carriages since he was a child, so even now that he has become the Minister of Health and the family has a van sent by Frederick, he still travels by carriage.
Frank urged the coachman to hurry up several times along the way. Jurgen deliberately said that it would be better to drive the van at first, but he still endured it.
A stage was set up in the middle of the football field, with small round tables placed in front. Three or four VIPs could sit around each table, and the auditorium further away was open to ordinary people.
In front of the stage is the band pit, where the Wesson family's newly formed symphony band using new instruments is playing soothing music.
Frederick's table is in the middle of the first row. Extending out on both sides are members of the royal families of various countries and tonight's winners. The positions of the two waves of people alternate.
Florence was in a trance when she was brought to her seat. On her right were Duke Wesson, Master Psyche and Miss Eltar, and on her left was His Majesty Fatih from the Ghazi Empire. Only then did she confirm that she was waiting. Going up to receive the award.
Frederick had arrived a long time ago. When he saw Jurgen coming with Florence, he immediately arrested him for interrogation.
On the other side, Fatih nodded to Florence.
Fatih only brought Hakan here tonight. Just now Hakan went to chat with other winners and build relationships. When he came back, he reported the situation to the leader.
Currently, the Golden Durian Award has six awards: magic, alchemy, mathematics, physics, biology, and medicine. Except for a large number of reissues in the first edition, in principle, there is only one winner for each category every year.
The influence of an award is not determined by the amount of the prize, but by the quality of the award-winning results.
Under the control of Psyche, the award-winning results over the years represent major breakthroughs in this field. In just a few years, the quality of the awards has been widely recognized by people in the industry and has become a benchmark for research.
Half of this year's six awards were won by people from Wesson. Hakan went to contact the other four winners and Fatih will visit them in a few days.
While the two were talking, all the guests and the audience had arrived, the time was up, and the music changed from soothing to "Red Carpets" commonly used for company annual meetings.
Psyche got up from her seat and walked onto the stage. Tonight she was wearing a red silk and gold embroidered robe, a purple silk belt around her waist, and a purple and gold olive leaf crown on her head.
Psyche walked to the stage and began to speak, expressing warm congratulations to all award-winners, extending high respect and sincere greetings to the scientific research workers, and expressing heartfelt thanks to the domestic and foreign guests who attended the award ceremony.
Her reputation is only spread among high-level academic circles, especially since she traveled to the Far East for many years, and after returning, she pretended to be a student in Constantbul to eat and drink, so her legend has almost disappeared from the world. . As Frederick rose to prominence in a short period of time, she also began to receive attention from all parties.
Psyche handed the stage to Frederick after a brief welcome speech.
Frederick was wearing a white double-breasted air force officer's dress and a big-brimmed hat today, looking very energetic.
Frederick pointed out in his speech that in the past year, in the face of complex and severe domestic and international environments, Weissensee’s economic development has made remarkable achievements, which is inseparable from the fruitful achievements on the scientific and technological front. of. A number of landmark achievements have emerged and been transformed at an accelerated pace, which has led to the vigorous rise of public entrepreneurship. This land shows a scene of all things competing and full of vitality in innovation. At present, a new round of technological and industrial changes is taking place, and the in-depth adjustment of Weisen's economic structure will enter a new stage. Innovation must be placed at the core of the overall development, guided by new development concepts, and focused on expanding production and increasing income. , deeply implement the innovation-driven development strategy, accelerate the cultivation and expansion of a group of scientific research workers mainly composed of scholars, professional and technical personnel, technical workers, agricultural technicians, etc., and promote the rapid economic growth.
Frederick emphasized that in order to comprehensively improve scientific and technological innovation capabilities, we must aim at the frontier, closely follow the needs, and deploy forward-looking, focusing on promoting the construction of major projects, major engineering and major infrastructure, and strengthening the research and innovation of basic theories. Establish a long-term and stable win-win mechanism, encourage joint innovation with enterprises as the main body and market orientation, improve the efficiency of achievement transformation, and enable society, enterprises, and researchers to jointly benefit from innovation.
Frederick said that this is an inclusive land that not only supports local talents to reach new heights, but also supports foreign talents to start businesses and innovate, providing them with greater space to display their talents. We will further strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights and maintain a high-pressure approach to infringement and counterfeiting. After he finished his speech, the candidates in the audience who will take the civil service examination next month were a little panicked. According to the time, it is estimated that the spirit of tonight's speech will probably appear in the application questions.
Next, Psyche announced the start of the award ceremony, and the first award was the mathematics award.
The first person to take the stage was Fatih, who was the guest of honor. Today he was wearing a purple formal emperor's robe and a flaming crown embellished with rubies on his head. He spoke in Pulan: "My friends are all You know, people can do anything in a hurry, except math problems.”
Amid the laughter of the audience, he continued: "In my previous understanding, the role of mathematics was just to calculate how much land I have, whether taxes have increased, and how many days I can have enough military rations."< br>
“Until I saw "Minutes of Maternity and Newborn Care" in the bookstore, I realized that I was wrong."
"Before I became the emperor, I was the most respected person in my territory. The person in charge was not me, but a midwife, because it would take fifty births for an adult or child to die.”
“I asked someone to investigate at that time, and it was found that one death would occur every twenty births in the territory. Human beings, twenty-five out of a hundred newborns will not live to be one year old, and less than sixty will live to be twelve years old."
"Even in the palace, my father. There were fifteen children in total, only ten of whom lived to be one year old, and two of them did not experience the full moon.”
"For countless years, people have been looking for reasons to prevent infant death. When I was born, my grandmother used the traditional method to soak the area from the neck down in potion for a whole day in order to avoid belly button ulceration, but my twin brother He died two months later."
"I have also heard of a method where the newborn child and the nurse must live in a house surrounded by flames, and the fire around them cannot be stopped until the full moon."
“There are many ways to do it, but no one can tell clearly how to make the children and their mothers in the world live longer.”
“Eph. Miss Lawrence answered this question. She spent five years, visited countless places, accumulated a large amount of data, analyzed it using mathematical means, and told everyone the answer through simple and easy-to-understand tables and color drawings: sick children Among them, lung disease accounts for 59.25% of the incidence, and the mortality rate of affected children is 30%; the incidence rate of various infections is 29%, and the mortality rate of affected children is close to 80%; the biggest cause of maternal death is puerperal infection, followed by Hemorrhaging.”
“We all know how valuable a direction and a goal are when exploring unknown territories.”
"Perhaps we have not been able to solve all the problems so far, but Miss Florence's results have pointed out the biggest goals for us and let us know where to concentrate our strength."
"I spent a lot of time I have the strength to win the qualification to award Miss Florence, because I want to tell everyone with practical actions that her achievements transcend countries and religions and are the most precious wealth of all mankind!"
Wait! The translator finished translating all Fatih's award speech, and thunderous applause erupted in the venue, which lasted for nearly five minutes.
When Florence came on stage, she looked a little dazed, as if she was walking on the clouds, cautiously, as if she fell off and hit the bed with a little force, and found that it was a dream.
The staff stood behind Fatih holding a tray, on which was placed a hollow gold-plated durian weighing half a kilogram, a Wesson Bank check for one thousand florins, and a daily... A golden durian badge pinned to the chest.
Florence's hands were trembling when she took the tray from Fatih. When she faced the audience, she took a deep breath for half a minute before saying in a trembling voice: "I feel like I am dreaming. Please allow me to calm down a little." "
After taking a few deep breaths, she said: "The reason why I can stand here today is first of all thanks to Duke Wesson."
"Just like His Majesty Fatih said just now. , The goal of sailing on the ocean of knowledge is the most important, otherwise the wind in any direction will not be a favorable wind."
"Duke Wesson is a lighthouse on the sea. Ten years ago, he pointed out the combination of mathematics and medicine. Road..."
Frederick in the audience just smiled. He had shocked Frank and Florence with this idea in the camp that received the victims. Strictly speaking, he had shocked Frank and Florence. This award should be his.
But it was Florence who really put the idea into practice, combined statistics and medicine to form a new discipline, and used and improved it in actual work. She is well-deserved for this award.
