The winner of the International Star of Science Progress Prize in mathematics is the British mathematician Stokes G.G. Stokes was the second person to serve as Professor of Lucas, Secretary of the Royal Society, and President of the Royal Society after I. Newton, and he had considerable influence in Britain.

China Beiyang Science and Technology has extensive cooperation and exchanges with the Royal Society, among which Stokes introduced a large number of British scientists, professors and scholars to Beiyang Technology, which has played a very big role in the development of Beiyang Science and Technology.

Although Stokes has never agreed to enter Beiyang Science and Technology, he has the title of second-class academician of Beiyang Science and Technology, and his outstanding contributions to the mathematical calculation formula of aerofluid mechanics and viscous resistance side have provided a solid mathematical and mechanical foundation for the design and improvement of Beiyang Science and Technology in the aerodynamic layout of aircraft.

In addition to the recognition of Stokes' academic contributions, the mathematics prize was given to Stokes alone, and it has a strong political background, which is inseparable from the influence of the atmosphere of Sino-British strategic cooperation.

The winner of the award is the American fiction writer Mark Twain, who was chosen mainly because Wang Chenhao has loved reading Mark Twain's novels since he was in high school, regardless of the influence of the political background of the strategic cooperation between China and the United States.

The winner of the Economics Prize was Professor Sombart at the University of Berlin in Germany, for his thesis on the rapid development of the German economy for his thesis that science and technology are the primary productive forces. Germany was the world's scientific and technological center in the 19th century, and contributed greatly to Germany's emergence as the world's second industrial power. China's industrial reform is to take the German development path, Beiyang Science and Technology aims to build China into the world science and technology center in the 20th century, and the rapid development of China's industry, Beiyang Science and Technology has highlighted its huge driving role. Therefore, Sombart's economic theory has also become the guiding ideology for the enlightenment and development of China's economic circles.

It can be said that although the China International Science and Technology Achievement Star Award is awarded to people from different countries, what they all have in common are people who are helpful to China's current national interests. Although the Baoxing Award claims to be unaffected by political axes, looking at the world, any award has the shadow of the national interests behind it, and no award can avoid political influence.

After the full list of winners of the Baoxing Award is confirmed, the Ministry of Education of China will send invitation letters to each winner, inviting them to arrive in Yanjing, China to attend the award ceremony before June 24. At the same time, in order to make the Baoxing Award a top international symbol of honor, Wang Chenhao informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of various countries to send a note to the ambassadors, ministers, consuls and officials of various countries in China, inviting them to attend the Baoxing Award ceremony, and to inform the reporters and newspapers of various countries to participate, in an effort to make the Baoxing Award ceremony known to the whole world, so as to expand China's international influence.

Britain, France, the United States and Germany are very happy that the people of their countries have received the Baoxing Award from China, they don't care about the Baoxing Award and the huge prize of 50,000 dragon coins, they only think about the problem politically. Obviously, Britain, France, Germany, and the United States believe that they have a lot of influence over China.

In order to make the Baoxing Award the highest international honor, Wang Chenhao mobilized national strength to agree with the political axes of various countries and authorize the Academies of Sciences and well-known universities in 26 countries in Europe and the United States, including the Royal Academy of Sciences, the American Council of Science Management, the Royal Academy of Sciences of Germany, and the French Academy of Sciences, to have the right to recommend and nominate the winners of the Prize.

In this way, the China International Science Achievement Star Award has naturally been officially recognized by the political axes of various countries, and it is logical that it has become an internationally recognized honorary awarding organization. The huge prize money of the Baoxing Award has become a symbol of the world's top honors. The Nobel Prize, on the other hand, does not have this political advantage and monetary advantage, so the Prize has overwhelmed the unreleased Nobel Prize from the beginning, and over time, the Prize will become the world's highest symbol of honor.

A few years ago, Wang Chenhao's trip to Europe and the United States used money to blow a hurricane of China's scientific and technological development on the Western continent. At that time, more than 20,000 scientific and technological workers from all walks of life were collected from Europe and the United States, which caused a sensation.

Now, after China's Baoxing Award was made public, it once again caused a big stir around the world. A considerable number of European and American scientists disdained to become slaves of Chinese money and refused to go to China for the development of Beiyang science and technology. Nowadays, it is different, China is undergoing various reforms, is entering a civilized society, and the China Baoxing Award is no longer only tempted by money, but also by honor.

For 99% of scientists, honor is their life's goal. Today, the China Baoxing Award has been supported and recognized by the political axes of various countries, and has become the world's top honor symbol. As a result, a large number of scientists began to change their views on China, believing that China values science and respects scientists. The honor and huge prize money of the Baoxing Award are undoubtedly a great temptation for these scientists, so more scientists have begun to have a strong interest in China's Baoxing Award.

Subsequently, Beiyang Science and Technology Heavy Industry announced to the world that Beiyang Science and Technology has the world's largest laboratory, the most complete scientific classification, the most advanced test equipment, the best team of scientists, more than 20,000 experts, professors and scholars, more than 50,000 apprentices, and an annual investment of more than 24 million dragon coins, making it the world's largest scientific and technological work group.

Beiyang Science and Technology and Baoxing Award echo each other, so it has set off another storm in the international scientific community. The two storms were superimposed, and their influence set off the second wave of large-scale migration of scientific and technological workers to China around the world.

Different from the first great migration of Chinese science and technology a few years ago, only more than 100 of the more than 20,000 scientific and technological workers who entered China's Beiyang Science and Technology Work were scientists and professors with international influence, and the rest were basically technical workers with little theoretical foundation, and only relied on their enthusiasm to achieve invention achievements through continuous experimentation like Edison. Most of them only have a secondary school education, very few have a university degree, and even some technicians have never gone to school, so they have little potential for future development. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that they also have the same ability as Nobel.

The biggest difference in the second Chinese science and technology immigration is that most of the groups who applied to China Beiyang Science and Technology Heavy Industry this time are experts, professors and scholars with university degrees, they have no pressure to live, and they don't care much about the high-standard treatment given by Beiyang Technology, they care most about the huge scientific research resources of Beiyang Science and Technology, because no country attaches as much importance to the development of science and technology as Wang Chenhao's Beiyang political axe. Even Germany's investment in this area is far less than the huge scientific and technological investment of Beiyang Science and Technology Heavy Industry. These cutting-edge scientists, what they care about is the huge scientific research hardware and software of Beiyang Technology, the capital investment of up to 24 million dragon coins, which is the basis for scientists to conduct scientific research, and the Baoxing Award reward system, which represents the highest honor in the world, because that is the goal that scientists strive for all their lives.

In the Office of the Prime Minister's Office, Minister of Education Cai Yuanpei and Minister of Foreign Affairs Tang Shaoyi briefed Wang Chenhao on the arrangements for foreign scientists, professors and scholars to apply to visit or join the major laboratories of Beiyang Science and Technology.

At this time, Tang Shaoyi was promoted to Minister of Foreign Affairs because of his high political prestige in the matter of recovering Chinese Customs, while Li Hongzhang, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, retired in Tianjin because his health was not suitable for busy diplomatic work.

Since Tang Shaoyi took office as minister of foreign affairs, diplomatic relations with various countries have been markedly strengthened, and he has won unanimous praise from people in the international diplomatic circles. On the issues related to the international promotion of the Baoxing Award and the recognition of political axes in various countries, Tang Shaoyi has made great contributions.

"At present, hundreds of well-known scientists, professors and some scholars from Europe and the United States, as well as some foreign journalists, have submitted requests to visit Beiyang Science and Technology."

"Some people have even asked the political axes of various countries to send requests to our Ministry of Foreign Affairs and our embassies and consulates abroad, which we cannot refuse."

"Only after letting them visit can they finally make up their minds to join Beiyang Technology and contribute to the empire."

Cai Yuanpei and Tang Shaoyi cooperated very harmoniously, and after listening to their briefings, Wang Chenhao had already made a decision in his heart.

In Wang Chenhao's view, this is a great opportunity to show foreign people in the field of science that China's Beiyang political axe attaches great importance to scientific development and vigorously develops scientific and technological strength, through the visit of these well-known scientists, professors and scholars, from their mouths to say that China's scientific and technological strength and development prospects can be more trusted and recognized by the international community, and in the future, there will be more well-known scientists, top experts and prestigious scholars who are optimistic about China and choose to develop in China.

It's just that Wang Chenhao's consideration of the problem is very comprehensive and thorough, and many problems are not just superficial phenomena.

"Are you ready to defend yourself against espionage?"

Wang Chenhao's words immediately stopped Tang Shaoyi and Cai Yuanpei, they hadn't thought about this question. Although most of them are advanced technologies introduced from European and American science and technology powers, there are also many cutting-edge technologies that are unique to China and the world, such as radio communication technology, remote control technology, steam turbine technology, Hei Sojin super gunpowder technology, Shennong antibiotics and other forming and semi-forming projects, radar, sonar, optical measurement, electromagnetic, biochemical, aviation equipment and other research projects are being developed, radiation, nuclear physics, Space technology and other projects are under construction. These projects are basically China's original and internationally leading technologies, and once exposed, they will trigger a global scientific and technological panic, attract the peeps of foreign powers, and even set off a scientific and technological competition.

Once it reaches the level of science and technology competition, China will not have a relaxed international environment at that time, and the great powers will block technology exports to China, which is quite unfavorable to China's scientific and technological development that has just entered the door of the world's science and technology field.

Tang Shaoyi and Cai Yuanpei glanced at each other and shook their heads, they didn't think about this problem. The latter said: "These people are all internationally renowned figures, and even if there are spies mixed in, there must not be too many." Beiyang Technology itself has a strong security force, so let them do a good job of safety precautions and not let them approach the core area should be able to deal with it. ”

Wang Chenhao nodded, he didn't have a better way, he couldn't refuse them to visit because of this, then the previous efforts would be in vain.

"Let the National Police Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, and the CIA jointly monitor this visit to ensure that visitors do not leave our sight 24 hours a day."

Regarding the foreign scientists' visit to Beiyang Science and Technology, Wang Chenhao instructed Secretary General Ruan Zhongshu to be responsible for scheduling and coordinating to ensure that state secrets would not be exposed or leaked.

After dealing with the issue of foreign visiting groups, Cai Yuanpei retired, Tang Shaoyi did not leave, and he had other things to report to Wang Chenhao.

"Shaochuan, sit down and talk."

When there are no outsiders, Wang Chenhao and Tang Shaoyi are particularly cordial.

After Tang Shaoyi sat down, Wang Chenhao asked, "How is it, is the work going well?" ”

Tang Shaoyi hurriedly thanked: "Thank you for your concern, Shaochuan is only afraid that he will live up to the expectations of adults." ”

Wang Chenhao said with a smile: "I believe in my own vision and your ability, and you are the most suitable for this job." ”

Tang Shaoyi smiled modestly, then stepped into the topic, and said: "My lord, the Hague International Conference invited China to participate in the formulation of a treaty on the peaceful settlement of international disputes, what do you mean, my lord?" ”

Wang Chenhao said: "This is a good thing! Of course we want to participate! ”

Tang Shaoyi continued: "According to the investigation, this meeting was initiated by the political axe of Tsarist Russia, and there may be some cats in it. ”

Wang Chenhao thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Since it was proposed by Tsarist Russia, it must have something to do with Tsarist Russia's recent national defense strategy." ”

Tang Shaoyi nodded and said: "I think so too, Tsarist Russia is my country's number one enemy at present, and their every move may have something to do with our country." I'm worried that there is a conspiracy in this, could it be that Tsarist Russia wants to ease its international relations in Europe? ”

Wang Chenhao asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Tang Shaoyi continued: "I think that the reason why Tsarist Russia does not dare to start a war against China is that in addition to the fact that its Siberian Railway has not been opened and its logistical supply is difficult to support large-scale operations, Tsarist Russia's international environment in Europe is actually very tense, and Tsarist Russia's European territory is facing military threats from the Allied countries Germany and Austria-Hungary, West Asia is facing military threats from the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and Central Asia and South Asia are facing military threats in British colonies, which has restrained more than ninety percent of Tsarist Russia's troops. If the real purpose of this international peace treaty is to ease the international relations around it, then once it is reached, it is possible that Tsarist Russia will transfer troops from Europe, West Asia, Central Asia, and South Asia to the Far East. ”

Wang Chenhao's brows suddenly twitched, and he suddenly thought that Tang Shaoyi's words were most likely the true purpose of Tsarist Russia.
