"In terms of personnel and equipment, it will be more troublesome for Peng Lao and Professor Han."

"If you have any questions, you can contact me by phone or email, and if you have an emergency, you can also contact my driver Zheng Hai, and he can contact me directly."

After chatting for a while and arranging some things, Xu Chuan also got up to say goodbye and leave.

After all, controlled nuclear fusion has just been established, and both sides are quite busy, and there is a lot to do.

Peng Hongxi nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, although I'm a bad old man who is eighty years old, I can still do something." ”

Xu Chuan said with a smile: "Old Peng, you are old and strong, and you are not weaker than back then. ”

Peng Hongxi laughed and said: "Busy with your go, I'm okay with chores, I can't help you much." The burden of controlled fusion engineering still falls on your shoulders. ”

Here, Xu Chuan is busy with a controlled nuclear fusion project.

On the other side of the country, in Beijing, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, which belong to the National Academy of Sciences, are holding meetings and carrying out intense work.

After an interval of two years, the election of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering was once again launched.

For Chinese people, academician is the highest honorary title that a scientist or scholar can get, and it is also one of the authoritative symbols of China's scientific and technological circles.

The selection of academicians requires candidates to have made outstanding academic achievements in the fields of natural sciences, engineering technology, agricultural sciences, medicine and health. It is also necessary to have a Ph.D. or equivalent level of research and have made outstanding contributions in their own research field.

Of course, there is no problem with these basic conditions for scientists or scholars who can be nominated for the list of academicians.

To borrow a phrase from Mr. Mei Yiqi:

"The so-called university is not only a building, but also a master."

Under today's education system, academicians can also do an approximate understanding.

Director Wen Hongwen, who is in charge of the recent co-optation of academicians, is flipping through the list in his hand.

Whether it is for him, for the Chinese Academy of Sciences, or for the entire country, the biennial election of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences is undoubtedly one of the most important things in China, and it also involves the attention and attention of countless people.

Just when Wen Hongwen was busy with work, the office door was knocked a few times, and then an old man walked in slowly.

Wen Hongwen raised his head, and after seeing the old man in front of him, he put down the pen in his hand and got up to greet him with a smile.

After pouring a cup of tea for the person in front of him, he smiled and said, "Why does Pan Lao have time to come to me today?" ”

Pan Deming took the teacup and took a sip, and said, "What else can I do for it?" ”

Hearing this, Wen Hongwen smiled and asked, "Is it for Professor Xu's business?" ”

Pan Deming sighed and did not speak.

The biennial academician selection activity is a grand event for both the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, but it is also a headache.

For a superpower with a population of more than 1.4 billion, academicians represent not only glory and authority, but also various scientific research resources and connections.

In many parts of the country, an academician represents a discipline or even a school. The flow of academicians will also drive the flow of resources of the entire discipline, and the significance to the university involves all aspects, which is difficult to summarize simply.

In other words, in China, as long as you get the title of academician, it means multiple gains of power, status, reputation, and resources; It also means that in the country you can go sideways.

Therefore, at this time, for the sake of a limited number of places, the candidates who are qualified to nominate academicians will even compete with the factions and connections behind them.

It's common for each other to turn against each other and expose each other's shortcomings, and sometimes there are even cases of falsifying materials to frame each other.

On the other side, Wen Hongwen smiled indifferently, reached out and picked up a document from the table, handed it to Pan Deming, and said, "Why don't you take a look at this first?" ”

Pan Deming glanced at Wen Hongwen, took the materials and flipped through them.

【List of candidates for the 14th co-opted academician of the Faculty of Energy and Mining Engineering in 2019】

【Li Ning, Huaguo Petroleum Co., Ltd. Exploration and Development Research Institute】

[Shu Biaoyin, Huaguo Huaneng Group Co., Ltd., . 】

【. 】

[Xu Chuan, . 】

In the shortlist, a familiar name was reflected in Pan Deming's pupils.

He raised his head, looked at Wen Hongwen, and asked in surprise, "He also entered the candidacy nomination of the Academy of Engineering?" ”

Wen Hongwen nodded with a smile and said: "Several big bulls in the field of nuclear energy and batteries jointly recommended, and the project of "Nuclear Energy β Radiation Energy Aggregation and Conversion of Electric Energy" that was accepted in June this year should have heard of it, and this technology can be said to liberate the productivity of nuclear power to the greatest extent. ”

After a pause, he continued: "So in fact, it's not just our side that has a headache, but also the engineering academy side. ”

Hearing this, Pan Deming smiled and said, "In the same year, I was selected as a candidate for both the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, this is the first time in history, right?" ”

Wen Hongwen nodded and said, "Yes, so this matter is quite troublesome, the nomination of the academician of the two academies, plus his age."

For this year's co-optation of academicians, neither the Chinese Academy of Engineering nor the Chinese Academy of Sciences expected such a situation.

For the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the selection of Professor Xu is a sure thing.

After all, the Nobel Prize and the Fields Medal, two of the world's top awards, shine too brightly.

From the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem to the Xu-Hodge conjecture, from the extended application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem to the discovery of inert neutrinos, the achievements of this big man can be said to be enough to pick out any one of them to make other scholars be nominated as academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

On the other hand, for the Academy of Engineering, the achievements of this big man should not be underestimated.

Artificial SEI film solves the problem of lithium dendrite, allowing Huaguo's lithium battery industry to take off directly and take the lead in the world.

The project of "Nuclear Energy β Radiation Energy Aggregation and Conversion of Electricity" solves the problem of nuclear waste, which not only greatly alleviates the pressure on energy, but also exchanges a variety of scarce technologies and equipment from other countries for the country.

For the energy and mining engineering students under the name of the Academy of Engineering, whether it is the lithium dendrite problem or the nuclear waste problem, any one is enough to nominate.

Therefore, several big bulls in the field of nuclear energy and batteries have joined forces to recommend this big guy.

And now, they are the ones who have a headache.

After listening to Wen Hongwen's words, and seeing this material, Pan Deming was relieved.

He took a sip of the teacup and sighed with a smile: "Before, we were still arguing about whether to let him be elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences this year, some people think that he is too young to wait a few more years, or to consider it after he turns thirty." ”

"After all, even the youngest academician Lu in China who was elected in 2003 was thirty-eight when he was elected, but he was only twenty-three years old, and he will not be twenty-four until the end of this year.

"Now it seems. Tsk"

Pan Deming sighed twice, and then said: "I'm afraid what should be considered is not whether he can be selected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences this year, but which one of the academicians of the two academies should be given to him this year." ”

Wen Hongwen smiled mildly and said, "Why can't you give both?" ”

Compared with Pan Deming, as the director of the general office, he knows more things, and he also knows the views and support for this young professor.

Hearing this, Pan Deming was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "Give both, the same year?" ”

Although it is not uncommon for scholars to serve as academicians of both the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, is it a bit too exaggerated to award the number of academicians of the two academies to one person in the same year?

You must know that there are only a few places for academicians, and there are many candidates waiting for each selection.

Not only are there many professors with old qualifications, but there are also many professors who have made major research achievements or contributions.

Wen Hongwen picked up the teacup and blew the tea, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said: "Don't forget, on that person's body, there is also a Morning Star Medal. ”

It was a medal created especially for that person, not only for glory, but also for a profound meaning.

Hearing this, Pan Deming was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood and completely relieved.

To be honest, before he came here today, he had already argued with the other people on the math and physics side.

is to fight for Xu Chuan for a place as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Although Peking University had a feud with him before, there is nothing that cannot be dissolved.

What's more, a Nobel Prize + Philippine Prize winner can't get an academician in China, what do the Chinese people think of this list as soon as it is announced?

But after coming here today, he didn't worry much about it.

Listening to what Director Wen meant, this year's academician co-optation may have a good show.

PS: Ask for a monthly pass.
