"The third winner is—"

"Lu Zhou!"

The spokesman's voice announcing the list of winners was still echoing in Academician Lu's ears, and the cigarette butts that had fallen in the ashtray since just now had been extinguished for a long time.

The award ceremony continued.

On TV, it's time to present the awards.

walked up to the podium in turn, and Lu Zhou, dressed in formal clothes, received the bright red certificate from the hands of an old man with a dignified face.

Staring at the TV screen, it took a long time for Academician Lu to sigh softly.

“…… This year's leadership team is a bit bold. ”

Also staring at the TV and looking at the bright red certificate on the screen, Academician Xu was happy for this talented man who walked out of Jinling University, but suddenly he had some gains and losses.

"You say, is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"What a good thing!" Re-lit a cigarette, Academician Lu laughed and said, "This is the first prize in natural science, how can it not be a good thing?" I want to exchange this title of academician for that kid. ”

There are often academicians, but scientific breakthroughs that can affect the world are rare, and scientific achievements that can be widely recognized are even rarer.

Just like the tens of thousands of theoretical physicists and engineers working at CERN, all of them play a pivotal role and all of them have essential work, but there are only a few Nobel Prizes that have been born.

Academician Lu felt that he had made a lot of achievements in most of his life, but it was really not enough to pick an outstanding achievement to select the first prize of natural science.

In contrast, it is still the highest national science and technology award, and this kind of lifetime achievement award is more suitable for itself.

Of course, the so-called "change" is just a joke.

Naturally, this kind of thing can't be changed casually.

Seeing that Academician Lu would misunderstand what he meant, Academician Xu shook his head and continued.

"I mean, if you get this award too early, you will inevitably be remembered. He is still young, and it may not be a good thing to face these things too early. ”

Academician Xu's concern is not unreasonable, because this kind of thing is not without precedent in the academic community.

Although Jinling University is a C9 strong school, its influence in the domestic academic community is not top for various reasons, and there is not much support for him.

"The things you said can't be avoided, maybe he won't be jealous if he doesn't have this first prize in natural science? How many Cratford Prize scholars are there in China, and how many Nobel Prize scholars are there? With all these achievements he has made now, I think it would be strange if no one should be responsible for him! ”

Speaking of this, Academician Lu smiled, cast his eyes out the window through the ethereal smoke, and continued slowly, "But even if it is jealousy, what effect does it have on him?" ”

The moment he heard this, Academician Xu was slightly stunned.

After a while, a smile appeared on his face.

"That's right."

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it; Walk above men, and the crowd will not.

Academia itself moves forward in controversy, and where the controversy is intended, sharp contradictions are bound to arise. A person with outstanding ability, some people can tolerate it, and some people can't tolerate it, especially in the academic world, these are inevitable.

It is precisely for this reason that the more excellent people are, the more they should learn the golden mean.

However, this law only applies to ordinary capable people.

If the ability is enough to rise to the height of a great man, if the achievement is enough to rise to the height of history, a tree becomes a forest, and a person is a many, so why care about any jealousy or criticism?

If he thinks so, his worries are indeed a little unnecessary......

……

At the same time, in the Jinling Institute of Computational Materials not far from the next door, an excited exclamation sounded.

"Awesome! 1st Prize in Natural Sciences! ”

Liu Bo's exclamation attracted the attention of the other researchers in the office, and many of them stopped what they were doing and gathered around.

When they saw the award screen on the screen, the surprise in their hearts was not much smaller than that of Liu Bo, and they also let out a small exclamation.

"It's ...... Our boss? ”

"I don't want to say anything, I just want to say a word about the awesome ...... of the land god"

"First Prize in Natural Sciences! We don't even have many Jinling University, right? ”

"How many more do you want? It's already strong enough to take it once, okay! The last time I remember was in 06, Academician Min of our Academy of Physics won this award, and he was rated as an academician the next year after winning the award! ”

"Then you say that our boss can be an academician?"

"This ...... I don't know, it seems that domestic work experience is really required to evaluate academicians, and I heard that the competition is fierce. But if Lu Shen is interested, it shouldn't be difficult......"

Compared with Liu Bo, who was also not much better, Qian Zhongming, who had been staring at the screen, was also quite surprised.

"This ...... It's already the highest honor in China. ”

Upward, there is only the highest science and technology award.

However, the highest science and technology award, although it carries the word "highest", is after all in the nature of lifelong achievement. This means that it is not awarded to outstanding achievements, but to individuals who have made significant and sustained contributions.

Under the age, there is really no qualification for selection.

If you want to talk about gold content, this top prize is really not comparable to the first prize in natural sciences.

To use an inappropriate analogy, it can probably be understood that the former is more respectable, while the latter is more academically rated.

It can be said that with Lu Zhou's current age, the first prize of natural science is already the highest honor that can be awarded to him in China!

Qian Zhongming is not the only one who knows this.

and at this moment, Lu Zhou is standing on the podium.

When he sat in the audience, and even when he heard his name, he could still maintain his usual calmness and calmness.

But standing here, accepting the baptism of the audience's gaze, Lu Zhou suddenly felt that even time seemed to be stretched out at this moment.

When he took the heavy red book from the old man's hand, he even faintly heard his own heartbeat.

After receiving the certificate, Lu Zhou shook hands with the old man with a dignified face.

Just as he let go of his hand, the old man standing opposite him suddenly smiled.

"Nervous?"

Lu Zhou nodded and replied honestly.

"It's a little."

"Young people, it's good to take on more pressure, pressure is motivation, and that's how everyone comes over!" patted Lu Zhou's shoulder, and the old man nodded approvingly, "Come on, I'm optimistic about you!" ”

Lu Zhou said solemnly: "Thank you." ”

Perhaps because he really admired his talent, the old man said these two more words to him when he presented him with the award.

Lu Zhou could also clearly feel that just because he said two more words, the people standing next to him looked at him with different expressions.

Envy?

It seems that there is a little.

Set store by?

There seems to be one too.

Fervent?

I can't tell......

Feeling the sight of everyone, Lu Zhou suddenly felt that the big red book with gold characters in his hand was a little heavier.

Part of this, naturally, stems from gravity.

But more than that, it also comes from responsibility.
