Chapter 243: The Highest National Science Award
October 8th.
In a flash, the National Day holiday passed.
Infinity Dream's employees who are still on holiday have also taken different batches of flights back to China.
This experience abroad has brought unforgettable experiences to many Chinese employees.
In the Infinite Dream rest area, almost all the employees of Infinite Dream gathered.
They were excitedly watching the CCTV live broadcast of the 'National Highest Science Award'. ’
At this time, the award has not yet begun, and more than 200 scientists in different fields have entered the venue one after another, and reporters are conducting random interviews one after another with microphones.
This award ceremony is unlike any other.
The first is the layout of the venue.
In the past, such a large meeting should be arranged in a serious manner, but this time it is arranged like a tea party, and the 'rostrum' is just a high step.
This arrangement is common in Western scientific circles, but it is indeed a very significant change for China, to be exact: reform.
This is a symbol of equality and freedom in science.
Secondly, these scientists are all dressed in tailor-made 'tunics'.
In the past, everyone wore a suit and shirt on such occasions. And this time the requirement to wear a tunic also has a certain connotation.
The reason why scientists are required to wear tunics is not to forget the national integrity and distinguish them from Western scientists.
Since the beginning of the 20th century, China has imitated Western countries in an all-round way.
Suits and dresses seem to be high-end, noble, and high-quality representatives as long as they are made by the elderly, while Huaxia's own things have become street goods.
This time, the organizer asked for it. It is also necessary to change the style of the past, no longer blindly follow the Western international, and create its own characteristics.
The so-called 'do it'.
If you want to change, you have to act first.
Perhaps one day, Westerners will wear a tunic to attend a science award ceremony in China.
The last difference is:
Now the leaders and scientists do not have speeches, and everyone is free to say what they want to say.
However, if you are prepared, the organizers will not confiscate it.
It's just that it's no longer going in the form it used to be.
Although these three points are only small improvements, they are no less than the original 'change' for scientists.
Through this incident, it can be seen that the country is gradually moving towards 'openness', which is no longer just superficial, but deep.
Inside. Poplar leaves play a vital role.
3 days before the award ceremony. Yang Ye accepted the invitation of the old man Daohong to Xiangshan as a guest.
At the luncheon, everyone talked about politics and science, from the current situation of domestic scientific development. All the way to the future of science.
The big boss asked Yang Ye what he thought about the event. So Yang Ye proposed 'eclecticism. Keeping up with the times'.
'Keeping up with the times'.
In fact, it means 'keeping up with the freedom and openness of the world's scientific community.'"
In the domestic scientific community, what is not good is a political puppet, just research for the sake of research. Rather than researching for hobbies.
Speaking of this, Yang Ye specially talked to the big boss about the story of 'Professor Hu Yue'.
Professor Hu had already left the country on October 4, and he sent an email to Yang Ye before leaving.
In the letter, Professor Hu explained his hardships to Yang Ye in a half-literate tone, and bluntly rejected his suggestion.
As he said, "I am ashamed of my love for my brother." A gentleman's way is to be honest, and since I have agreed to the American agency, I can no longer cooperate with you. ”
Finally, he attached an 'electronic file' to the mailbox, which recorded Professor Hu's views and personal theories about 'Hell Lost'.
Yang Ye was deeply moved by this document, so he flew from Ping'an to Huadu and met Professor Hu for the last time in China.
At that time, it was raining heavily, and Professor Hu couldn't help crying when he saw the wet Yang Ye coming in a hurry, beating his chest and shouting: "Ashamed, ashamed." ”
Yang Ye also shed tears under the rain.
This picture was quickly captured by a reporter from Huadu Daily, and soon a news picture of "Old and Young Scientists at the Airport" appeared on the Internet.
When people are talking about the two of them, who knows the bitterness of Professor Hu's departure.
Some people may think that he is too pedantic and too honest, but the fundamental reason is that there is no suitable environment for him.
If any company or organization in Huaxia were willing to sponsor Professor Hu, I am afraid that he would not have traveled far to the United States.
After listening to the story told by Yang Ye, the big boss was very touched, and he said that he wanted to carry out 'scientific reform'!
This award ceremony is the first step in change.
The actual proposal of 'tunics' was put forward by Yang Ye.
Yang Ye's proposal of 'being eclectic and keeping pace with the times' is to tell the big bosses: in terms of academic freedom, we are consistent with the world, but we don't have to deliberately imitate the world.
Britain has its own tuxedo, why can't we in China have our own tunics?
As a result, the tunic became a highlight of the ceremony.
If nothing else, after the meeting, the State Council will issue an opinion on the development of science in China.
At that time, the government will increase the encouragement and incentives for the development of the private scientific community.
In addition, at this award ceremony, Yang Ye also had a very important thing to announce.
……
Award Hall.
The academic atmosphere at the scene was very strong.
Because of the presence of experts and scholars in various fields, coupled with the unique 'openness' of this year, there are many media present.
The interaction between scholars and experts in different fields and journalists is also quite harmonious.
In fact, in terms of the content of their conversations, it is no less than the level of foreign scientific circles, but these contents are all theoretical, and there is still a considerable lack of large domestic laboratories.
"Mr. Yang, I've finally caught you."
As soon as Yang Ye, Liu Feiyan, and Wang Feng walked into the hall, they attracted the attention of many reporters, and the older generation of scientific circles also looked at this new generation of successors.
Many of them are people from the Tinder Lab.
Today, Yang Ye's tunic is very decent.
Under the soft light, the whole person looks neat and vibrant. I can see that many female waiters are 'fascinated'.
"Hehe, I'm not a small animal, I can't cook it if you catch it."
"Hehe......"
Yang Ye's witty words made all the men and women present laugh.
A set of reporters raised the microphone and smiled: "As the youngest winner of this year, what do you think?" ”
"Views? Do you want to hear something a little more modest, or something a little more honest? ”
Hearing this, the audience in front of the TV and everyone present put away their smiles and stared at Yang Ye intently.
Yang Ye looked at the camera and said bluntly: "To be modest, I feel that I can win the award this time." It's all the courtesy of the old-timers. ”
"Let's be honest...... I deserve it. ”
"Wow!" Yang Ye's 'amazing' words. It's like a pot of water dropping oil! TV ratings have skyrocketed.
Chinese people pay attention to 'gentleness, modesty and virtue'.
When many people heard Yang Ye's words, they began to think that he was a little arrogant.
"Do you think I'm arrogant? Without the modesty of young people? ”
Yang Ye smiled and Liu Feiyan looked at each other and said, "Then may I ask the person who thinks so much about me in my heart, why are you not because of a little achievement." Just be complacent. Proud for a lifetime? ”
"Words can be modest. The mindset can also be humble, so can scientific results be humble? ”
"If anyone can achieve what I am doing now, I am willing to give you the medal with both hands."
Wow -
Yang Ye finished speaking. There was applause in the hall, and many people understood the meaning of his words.
Next, Yang Ye's tone became calm and modest.
"Actually, Yang Ye didn't make any contributions, YOS is borrowing chickens to lay eggs, and Lotsd is also a mistake, plant power generation and water purification are the credit of the brothers in our laboratory."
"I thought about it all night yesterday and couldn't figure out why the award was given to me. Should I be disabled (neurotic)? And then special care? ”
(Hehehe, now and the TV are chuckling.) )
"There are 1.4 billion people in China, a few people with the same name and surname as me, and there are not a few who have the same scientific dreams as me, why can I do it, but you can't?"
"Isn't it possible to find a second young man in a big country of 1.4 billion, so do you have to come here every year to support this group of old-timers?"
As he spoke, Yang Ye turned his head to the 90-year-old Academician Li on the side and asked, "Comrade Li, which of you wants to come?" ”
"Grandson, your grandfather has arthritis." Academician Li feigned annoyance and waved his fists.
His words undoubtedly show his attitude.
Yang Ye's words really touched the hearts of this group of scientists of the older generation.
Since the 90s, the phenomenon of 'insufficient blood supply' has begun to appear in the Chinese scientific community.
Since 2000, a large number of high-achieving students have flocked to study abroad, and then they have never returned.
In 2010, although Huaxia scientific research began to develop like tea, there was no top-notch talent at all.
A huge country with a population of 1.4 billion people has not produced a Nobel Prize winner in 60 years.
To be honest, these scientists of the older generation have long wanted to 'abdicate and make way for the virtuous'.
"Look, the old man has to come to the award ceremony for arthritis, it's really not easy to win this award."
"Hehe......" Now the laughter sounded sporadically, more thought-provoking.
In the end, Yang Ye took a deep breath, stared at the camera and said, "From now on, I hope young people can show a sharp spirit!" ”
"If you can't afford to buy a house, you can complain about the state ......"
"If you can't get into college, you can't become a scientist, you can't realize your dreams, can you still complain about the country and the government?"
"What's going on with my Yang Ye, I guess everyone knows better than myself! I can stand on this stage from a sling with nothing, why can't you? ”
As he spoke, Yang Ye blushed and pointed to the podium behind him and said, "In addition to me, there are 9 vacancies waiting here, as long as you are willing to work hard, I dare to guarantee that there is a place for you here!" ”
"If you don't have money, I'll fund you, and if you don't have a laboratory, I'll help you build ......"
"I'm afraid you have no ambition, no dreams, and no courage!"
"Don't make excuses for yourself, don't think so low of yourself, everyone is the Nobel of the future, Washington, as long as we are willing to work hard, the world will make way for us!"
"If anyone thinks that I Yang Ye is arrogant, just rely on your real skills and come here to see me with your scientific project!"
"Uh...... Isn't it a bit too much? ”
"Hahaha, that's good!"
"Applause! Your grandfather's can be regarded as Lao Tzu's heart! ”
"Stinky boy, you can talk a lot!"
With Yang Ye's humorous ending, thunderous applause rang out at the scene!
Every scientist present applauded excitedly.
The general secretary and other senior leaders standing behind the stage also clapped their hands with a smile at this young man surrounded by honor.
With these words, he said what the country wanted to say for many years, but could not say......
"Xiao Ye has finally grown into a new generation of spiritual leaders...... Good! I was right! ”
