The atmosphere in the arena fell silent for a while.

Li Zhen couldn't give a positive answer.

In fact, compared with hybrid rice and the foundation of bacteriology, it seems that the study of lithium is not so significant.

But in fact, there is a layer of political demand that no one can say.

Because the researchers of lithium are Siamese. He is also the only one in this Kyushu Science and Technology Award who has been nominated for the award for scientific research.

Li Zhen doesn't want the Kyushu Science and Technology Award to become a new Kyushu people's award, and this award can only have a greater influence if it is expanded to the whole world. You can't be happy alone, you have to be happy for a long time.

So in any case, Siam's lithium research cannot be brushed down.

And hybrid rice can't be brushed down, it's almost certain, this is the winner of this year's Kyushu Science and Technology Award Chemistry Award.

Lin Guofu's bacteriology, it was just enough not to mention it before, but now that it has been proposed, Li Zhen remembered it. That certainly can't be brushed off either.

Because compared to others, Lin Guofu's research results are not significant, but penicillin and cellular bacteria. Penicillin is not of much use to the people of New Kyushu, after all, there are only a few people who get pneumonia, and there are not many people who are sick at all, and he only found penicillium, and he cannot purify penicillin.

But he did open up a discipline of bacteriology for biochemistry. It also laid the foundation for the new and vast discipline of bacteriology. Meaning, greater than reality.

Ge Qingping frowned and said, "Actually, according to what I think." This year, we have made an exception and created three places to be determined for the Chemistry Prize. ”

Li Zhen was embarrassed and said: "But there are only two places in other categories. There are three places in chemistry, even if they are exceptionally shortlisted, researchers in other disciplines will inevitably feel unhappy and feel that this is not fair. ”

Ge Qingping is also embarrassed. The same is true, it was said in advance that there were two places, but now only chemistry has become three. What would other scientists think?

Jia Liping suddenly spoke: "Actually, Master Li doesn't have to be embarrassed. Three is three, and the truth is still the same. However, it depends on what is said. 、”

"What do you mean?"

Everyone spoke in unison.

Jia Liping said with a smile: "If you declare it to the outside world, the Kyushu Academy of Sciences is also very difficult, and it is difficult to decide which one to eliminate." This is certainly not true, and it will reduce our prestige and authority. Others think too much about it. But in other words, that's a different story. ”

"How?"

Jia Liping said: "We announce it to the outside world. This year is a blowout year for chemistry. This year, chemical researchers all over the world have made great progress and improved to varying degrees. Chemistry research around the world has been brought to a new level. There are many applicants for chemistry, and the gold content has surpassed that of other disciplines. Therefore, this year, three scientists were selected to be shortlisted for the award-winning pending area. ”

Li Zhen frowned: "This statement...... Not proper. ”

Jia Liping said: "I didn't finish it. ”

"Don't sell it, hurry up."

Jia Liping hurriedly said: "And then I would like to add: I hope that researchers from other disciplines will work hard, and I hope that the next scientific discipline that can make blowout progress is physics or mathematics." When that day comes, physics and mathematics will naturally make it difficult for us to choose, and there will be three exceptional places. ”

Li Zhen's eyes lit up: "Go on." ”

Jia Liping said again: "In other words. It will not cause other families to be depressed and rejected. On the contrary, it will give everyone a feeling of a scientific explosion, and in such an environment, they will not doubt the authority of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences, but will only have a competitive mentality at a macro level. ”

Li Zhen laughed: "It's still your brain." ”

Ge Qingping also praised with a smile: "Xiao Jia is indeed lively." ”

Jia Liping smiled shyly: "I'm just good at drilling these trails." ”

"Then it's decided. Liping, you go and do it. This year, there are three finalists for the Chemistry Prize. Five nomination awards. ”

"Yes, Master Li."

“……”

After solving the dilemma of the Department of Chemistry, Li Zhen and others went through all the scientists and scientific research projects that had been identified. Be foolproof.

Li Zhen made a final summary:

"Faculty of Mathematics, two places for the final award to be determined. One is Chen Jingrun, who is only 18 years old from Imperial College London, who discovered the law of bounded functions. The other, a professor at the Department of Mathematics at Fuxing University, proposed the concept of indefinite integrals in calculus. ”

Hou Qiang nodded: "Yes, after repeated confirmation, verification." These two concepts of high mathematics have a great influence on the current mathematical community. ”

Li Zhen snorted and said: "There are three pending awards in the chemistry community, the first is that Yuan Bing has studied the law of hybrid rice and the idea of solving the problem of world grain production. The second is that Lin Guofu studied the role of white cells, as well as Penicillium, Escherichia coli, and platelets on the human body, and opened up bacteriology. The third is Song Phasan from Siam, who proposed lithium and proposed the idea of lithium batteries. ”

Everyone was stunned.

took a deep look at Li Zhen, and then Ding Zhenzhen hurriedly took notes and wrote down all the original words Li Zhen said on paper.

This is a very profound statement.

When you talk about a math prize, you say, "One is, the other is." ”

And when it comes to chemistry awards, it means "the first is, the second is, the third is." ”

These different terms already represent Li Zhen's thoughts.

There's no such thing as a dark box here, but it's better not to say something explicitly.

Everyone knows that the winner of this year's chemistry prize must be Yuan Bing. But this cannot be said in advance. Just know what to expect.

This is not because Yuan Bing is deeply loved by Li Zhen, but simply because Yuan Bing's research findings are very milestone. His research, in the next 10,000 years, the world will have tens of millions, hundreds of millions, and even no one will die of hunger.

That's the meaning.

The award of science is not based on who is at the top, but also on what kind of contribution it has made to all mankind. There is such an impact on society.

The purpose of the existence of science is not to war, but to serve the people, and the purpose of its existence and advancement is only to make human life better. Make the world a better place.

Therefore, Yuan Bing was awarded by Li Zhen in advance, and no one would object. No one even felt that there was anything wrong with it, because even Song Pashan and Lin Guofu felt in their hearts that it was better to win the award for hybrid rice.

After all, tackling hunger is the top priority today. Don't be blinded, only see Laoshan is good, Dongzhou is good......

Li Zhen paused, and then said: "There are two pending lists of physics awards, one is Mr. Jia's photographer. One is the latest research of the School of Electromagnetism this year, the invention of three-phase AC motors, and the application of DC motors and AC motors in different fields. No problem, right? ”

Several people shook their heads: "No problem." ”

Li Zhen said: "Quickly print out these documents. Later, it will be distributed to the guests participating in the Kyushu Science and Technology Award, so that they can know in their hearts, don't start tomorrow, and don't know what the meaning of various inventions is. ”

"Understood."
