The event started at 9 a.m. and lasted until 5 p.m.

Although there are only one or two first prizes in the five major science and technology awards, the number of second prizes is quite large; The second prize of the Natural Science Award alone, there are nearly 20 of them this year, plus what to take a photo for, it is normal to take a longer time.

After the awards ceremony, the evening was the state dinner.

For such a grand event, the specifications of the state banquet can be said to be directly full. The scale is much larger than what Xu Chuan had eaten last time.

State Banquet Lion Head, State Banquet Boiling Water Cabbage, State Banquet Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, Canned Sanbao Duck, Safflower Shark Fin Rice, Puff Pastry Shark Fin Cup......

Although it is not a Manchu and Han banquet in the traditional sense, the various dishes are more exaggerated than the Manchu and Han banquets.

Each of these dishes served on the table can be said to be the top quality of each cuisine, and each dish is from a real top master, which is extremely rare.

Xu Chuan, who has always had no high requirements for food, only hated himself for not having two mouths, let alone other people.

"Congratulations, Professor Xu."

At the dining table, as soon as Xu Chuan put the duck meat on the fast son into his mouth, a voice came from his ears.

The person who came to greet him was a middle-aged man, who didn't know which research institute it was, but he soon found out.

Swallowing the food in his mouth, he skillfully picked up the wine glass and got up to touch it with the other party, said thank you, and asked the other party's identity by the way to leave an impression in his mind.

Han Kaiyu is a professor at Modu Jiaotong University, mainly researching analytic number theory and algebraic number theory. I hope to have the opportunity to talk to you about mathematics in the future. ”

The middle-aged man in front of him introduced himself with a smile.

"Hello Professor Han."

Xu Chuan smiled and nodded, although he didn't know the other party, there were many people who took the initiative to come up and greet him today.

As the winner of the first prize in natural sciences + the winner of the Nobel Fields Double Medal this year, his performance at the award conference made everyone envious.

Especially the closeness shown by the old man, which made people even more jealous and eager to replace him.

But to sit here today for the incentive meeting, no one is stupid.

Even if some old stubborn have an opinion in their hearts, under normal circumstances, they will not show it on their faces and express their dissatisfaction here.

Those who can do such things will not be able to enter the General Assembly Hall.

Aside from these people, most of them showed considerable kindness and concern.

Not only because of a first prize in natural sciences, but also because of the Nobel Prize, the Fields Medal and the bonus of age. What's more, it's because of the importance shown by the old man when he received the award.

After all, this is in the country.

Therefore, there were many people who came up to greet and communicate with him after the award ceremony.

......

After a brief chat with Professor Han and exchanging contact information, Xu Chuan sank into eating and drinking to fill his stomach again.

After the state banquet of eating and drinking, this grand event is almost over.

If it's someone else, it's okay to leave.

However, for scholars like Xu Chuan, who won the first prize, there was an exclusive interview the next day.

After all, being able to win the first prize of the five major awards at the Science and Technology Awards Conference is enough for the country to fully promote it to the whole society.

In particular, he was the youngest ever winner of the first prize in natural sciences and was promoted by the top management.

In a quiet reception room, Xu Chuan met a familiar reporter.

"Professor Xu, we're meeting again."

CTV's reporter Sun Yutong walked up with a smile and said hello.

Seeing this familiar reporter, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Hello, Reporter Sun." ”

It's not clear why it's the same person every time he interviews, but he doesn't care.

Acquaintance interviews are also good, and it feels uncomfortable to change someone in each interview, at least for him.

Sun Yutong smiled and said, "The interview may take up a little time, I hope it won't disturb your research." ”

Xu Chuan smiled: "How can it be so exaggerated, I can't be doing research twenty-four hours a day." ”

"So let's get started?" Sun Yutong asked with a smile, the whole interview, only half an hour was given, she had to hurry.

"Absolutely." Xu Chuan nodded.

"Professor Xu, how do you feel as the youngest scholar ever to win the first prize in natural sciences?"

Xu Chuan: "Excited? Pride? I'm also a little hard to describe how I feel. Of course, the first thing is to thank the state for its trust and support......"

In this kind of formal interview, his answer is also quite formal.

"Many Chinese people and students take you as a role model and learn from you, do you have anything to say about them?"

Xu Chuan thought for a while and said: "In the depths of everyone's heart, there are infinite potentials, and to explore them, it takes your persistence and hard work. ”

"Persevere, one day when you look back, you will thank yourself for your previous efforts, come on!"

“.......”

"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule, and that's all for today's interview." The half-hour interview passed quickly, and Sun Yutong got up with a smile to say goodbye.

Although today's interview and questions are quite decent, as a central media, this is enough.

.......

After dealing with the matters related to the award ceremony, Xu Chuan took the high-speed train back to Jinling.

At the entrance of Nanda University, several big red banners were hung.

[Congratulations to our 2016 graduate and professor 'Xu Chuan' for winning the Fields Medal!] 】

[Warmly celebrate the Nobel Prize in Physics won by Xu Chuan, a 2016 graduate of our school and a professor of our school!] 】

[Warmly celebrate the 2016 graduate of our school and our professor 'Xu Chuan' won the National Natural Science Award! 】

Several banners were almost hung at the school gate, which made Xu Chuan, who was sitting in the car and glancing at it, embarrassed.

He didn't have much of a problem hanging the banner, after all, it was not only his honor to win those awards, but also the honor of his alma mater.

But anyway, isn't it a little too long for the banner that won the Fields Medal in August to still hang there in December?

Is it possible that the alma mater is really ready to fulfill its original promise and let these banners hang for half a year?

.......

Finding the office of the principal Liu Gaojun, Xu Chuan knocked on the door, and walked in after the sound of 'please come in' from inside.

"Why are you back?"

In the office, looking at the person who appeared in front of him, Liu Gaojun asked in surprise, and then got up with a smile to make tea.

In response to the principal's surprise, Xu Chuan spread his hands and smiled: "Anyway, I seem to be a professor at NTU, why do I feel so surprised when I hear it?" ”

Liu Gaojun laughed and said, "My fault, my fault." ”

Although Xu Chuan is a professor at NTU, he has not held a single class since the beginning of the school year, and he has not accepted students at NTU, except for the two students brought from Princeton.

At the beginning, the students of NTU were still looking forward to the scene where this big bull taught them, but now they have almost broken this thought.

Not to mention the students, even the school leaders didn't expect him to appear on campus.

The position of professor is more like a temporary position or honorary professor.

While that's a bit against the rules, who's to say.

"By the way, I just came back and saw the medal banner at the door, why are the Fields Medals in August still hanging on it." Xu Chuan asked with a smile.

"What's wrong? Any questions? Liu Gaojun, who was making tea, asked curiously.

"Isn't that too long?" Xu Chuan said helplessly.

"For a long time?"

Liu Gaojun smiled and handed over a cup of tea, and continued: "This is our country's first Fields Medal!" Even if it hangs there all the time, no one will be too long. ”

The corners of Xu Chuan's mouth twitched, and he kept hanging there, so let's spare him.

Skipping this topic, Xu Chuan opened his mouth and asked: "When I went to the capital this time, I talked about a cooperation project with the chemical engineering department of Mizuki University, and I was going to borrow the ..... there, I don't know if my alma mater is interested?" If I have an idea that interests me, I can leave a few slots to come out. ”

He briefly talked about the previous cooperation between Beijing and Mizuki University, and invited NTU to join by the way.

Although the Department of Chemical Engineering of NTU is weak, not as good as physics and astronomy, it is also a 98 strong school, and it is also one of the earliest departments of chemistry.

"Computational chemistry? Of course interested. It's just, are you busy coming? Don't you have two projects on your hands? Plus the study of mathematics ....."

Liu Gaojun didn't think much about it, and agreed directly.

Whether it is working with Xu Chuan, a Nobel laureate, or with Mizuki University, this is a rare opportunity for NTU.

Whether the project can succeed or not is not within the scope of his consideration, the project carried out by two top universities + one Nobel laureate, no matter how bad it is, can make some results.

In addition to the results, the talent cultivated in the project cooperation is also the focus.

It's just that he has some doubts about Xu Chuan's time and energy.

According to his previous understanding, Xu Chuan should have two large-scale projects in his hands at present, and this will add another one, that is, three. In addition, I heard that he was also working on the NS equation and other problems.

All in all, I am afraid that the things at hand cannot be counted on one hand. This energetic man is like a robot, and it feels like he can spin 24 hours a day with just oil on it.

Hearing this, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, I'll arrange it." ”

Liu Gaojun nodded and said with concern: "The project is actually not very important, don't squeeze your time so much, the future is still long, don't drag down your body." ”

For Xu Chuan, NTU pays more attention to his body and cares more about his body, after all, it is a student who walks out from here. As long as you recognize NTU as your alma mater, NTU will be able to benefit from it in the future.

As for scientific research achievements or something, he is only twenty-one years old, and even if one is released in the next ten years, how many will there be.

Xu Chuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, one of the projects in my hand is almost finished, and there is no problem in terms of time and energy." ”

Hearing this, Liu Gaojun was a little surprised: "There are results so soon?" Lithium-ion batteries or nuclear energy? ”

He knew about Xu Chuan's research that the secrecy level of the presidents of 98 colleges and universities was not low, and many national confidential studies were also carried out in colleges and universities.

"This is kept secret for the time being, and you'll find out later."

Xu Chuan smiled mysteriously and did not reveal the results of the two projects.

"Then I'll wait for your good news." Liu Gaojun said with a smile.

"Of course."

......

After inviting his alma mater to participate in the computational chemistry project, Xu Chuan left NTU.

The conversation with Principal Liu Gaojun was just a rough arrangement.

The establishment of the follow-up project, resource requirements, personnel arrangements, etc., still need to sit down and talk in detail with Nanda, Shuimu, and him.

Now, it's time to start the next stage of research on the mechanism of nuclear β radiant energy aggregation and conversion of electrical energy.

Sending a message to Zheng Hai, Xu Chuan came to the coastal city of Qidong.

A few months ago, it was a deserted area.

But just four months later, the barren mountains have become buildings everywhere. The main building of the Nuclear Energy Research Institute has been completed.

In four months, a nuclear power plant and research institute covering an area of 2,000 acres will be repaired, even if it is only the main body, and this efficiency will probably be achieved by China in the world.

】

The title of infrastructure madness is not called in vain, but through one world miracle project after another.

......

"Qi Gong, how long will it take for the research institute to be able to use it?"

Finding Qi Zhongxing, the chief engineer in charge of the entire project, Xu Chuan asked after greeting him with a smile.

Qi Zhongxing calculated for a while and replied: "This depends on the time of the provision of radiation isolation materials over there, if it goes well, it can be officially put into use in March and April next year." ”

Xu Chuan nodded and said: "Don't worry about the isolation materials, the corresponding manufacturers have been arranged to produce here, and according to the demand data you provided before, a total of 65 tons of isolation materials will be produced." ”

"The first batch of 300 tons can be delivered by January 15, and the rest can be completed by January low."

"If that's the case, I can make sure it's delivered by March 15th."

Qi Zhongxing nodded and replied seriously, for this kind of national-level project, the Huaguo Nuclear Industry Construction Group, which is responsible for the construction, has signed a guarantee.

There are strict requirements for what kind of standards and when they can be completed.

If it is not completed beyond the time, the light will be punished, and the project will be delayed, and it is not uncommon for the person in charge of a ticket to go in and squat for a few years.

After learning about the construction situation at the research institute's site, Xu Chuan took a turn around the park to ensure that there were no problems with the overall progress of the nuclear energy project, and then got up and prepared to leave.

"In terms of construction, there will be a lot of trouble. When the institute is completed, I will come back to you to ask for credit. ”

In front of the industrial park, Xu Chuan said goodbye to Qi Zhongxing with a smile.

Although this is a state-owned project, if you want people to do their best, rewards are indispensable.

"No trouble, it's something I'm supposed to do."

Qi Zhongxing hurriedly responded, with a hint of joy in his heart, with the energy of the person in front of him, he could make his resume a lot richer by saying a few words on it.

Of course, the premise is that he has to do a good job in his hands, and if the project goes wrong, it is estimated that he will have to go to court without saying anything from the other party.
