This phone call and the family talked for a long time.

Until the conversation is almost over, "By the way, do you have any photos of shaking hands with the leaders?" ”

Li Jianxing suddenly asked.

Li Mu was stunned: "It seems that there is." ”

Li Jianxing immediately said with a smile: "You send the photo back, I will frame it and put it at home, this photo has to be kept, I will show it to your grandfather when I go back, after he saw the news today, it can be called a happy one, saying that you have a future." ”

Li Mu couldn't cry or laugh, this is the only way to be emotional.

"Okay, okay, I know, I'll send you the picture when I get back."

"Well, pay more attention to safety outside, if you are in Beijing now, you can also go and meet your sister."

"Got it."

"Well, that's not much to say."

After hanging up the phone, Li Mu shook his head helplessly, and then contacted the relevant personnel to apply for an electronic version of the photo he took with the leaders.

Anyway, since the family really wants to see it, then he will do it.

After this matter was settled, QQ suddenly popped up a notice of all the staff of Aite.

It's information about their dorm complex.

Li Mu clicked in to take a look, and saw that it was Zhang Leifa.

[@全体成员, this year's National Science and Technology Award has been announced, and none of the members of our group have been selected, especially the management and group owners have not even received an invitation to the meeting. Please reflect on our shortcomings and how to carry out our work in the future, and I hope you will pay attention to it. 】

Xu Sheng: [?] Do you take our brother Li in your eyes? 】

Chen Kaiming: [@李牧, Brother Li, look at this surnamed Zhang, he can still ignore you]

[Zhang Lei withdrew a message]

Zhang Lei: [@全体成员, this year's National Science and Technology Award has been announced, I am very happy, Comrade Li Mu in our group was successfully selected, and won two awards, the first prize of the National Natural Science Award and the special prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award. I also ask other personnel to conscientiously study the spirit of Comrade Li Mu, continue to carry forward the fine traditions of our group and our dormitory, become bigger and stronger, and create more brilliance. 】

Seeing this news, Li Mu was amused, and then replied with a message: [Thank you for the attention of the group owner, and I also hope that our group can develop better and better, and continue to win more honors, we are 232, the most awesome! ] 】

His appearance immediately aroused the excitement of his roommates.

Xu Sheng: [Wucao, Brother Li, are you really there? 】

Chen Kaiming: [Brother Li! Brother Li! Brother Li! 】

Zhang Lei: [Brother Li! When will you be back? We miss you so much! You went to Beijing and didn't come back for two months. 】

Li Mu: [I'll go back after a while, and the matter here is almost over.] 】

In fact, he could have gone back after discovering the cryptotetraquark peculiar hadron containing strange quarks, but because the neutral concomitant particles had not been discovered for a long time, he had doubts about the accuracy of the Standard Model, so he stayed in the Institute of High Energy, and then because of the National Science and Technology Award Conference, so he stayed until now.

Zhang Lei: [Okay, good! By the way, can you not wash your hands before you come back? I want to experience what it's like to shake hands with the big guys. 】

Xu Sheng, Chen Kaiming: [Plus 1]

Li Mu: [?? 】

Li Mu: [Get out! 】

Damn, I thought these guys really missed him, but I was still weirdly moved in my heart, and I thought about it like this?

He went to wash his hands.

I chatted with my roommates in the group for a while, and the time gradually got late.

It's been a busy day today, especially after the awards ceremony, and he also gave an interview, which is the one his dad saw on the news, so now his body is a little tired.

So he didn't continue to stay up late to do research, he went straight to sleep.

……

In the next few days, the matter of the National Science and Technology Award Conference has also been on the list of hot topics, and the attention has always been high.

Especially Li Mu, even more so, anyway, one day, he found that the number of Weibo fans reached 5 million, 5 million without any moisture.

It seems that because of this award, he has attracted millions of fans.

This is probably the gold content of national awards, at least in China, the recognition of national awards is still very high.

However, winning two awards in a row still caused a controversy in the academic community.

有一些人认为这种事情实在有些太过高调，尤其是李牧这么年轻，就获得了如此巨大的成就，不利于国内学术界的平衡，对其他那些老资历的学者们也不太公平。

In short, what these people mean is that there must be a rule in everything.

Of course, there are naturally many people who support Li Mu, arguing and arguing, which in turn caused a scolding in the academic community.

Some even began to stir up.

There are so many people who have won awards, and there are so many scientists who have made contributions, but now that the news has spread, Li Mu has almost taken away all the attention by himself.

These people used such statements to make other award-winning scientists feel emotional about Li Mu.

Even in the end, such a statement found the winner of the highest science and technology award.

……

"Academician Gu, first of all, congratulations on winning the highest national science and technology award, which is obtained by your hard work for half a life, congratulations!"

Academician Gu's home ushered in an interviewer.

The interviewer's name is Chai Jing, a former CCTV reporter, who later resigned and began to work alone, spreading through past resources and networks, and is quite famous.

The ability to conduct an exclusive interview with Academician Gu also stemmed from his personal connections, contacting one of Academician Gu's students through various channels, and then using this student to match, and finally facilitating this interview.

After all, he has been a reporter at CCTV for so many years, and he still has these relationships.

Academician Gu smiled and said: "Hard work is not counted, it can only be said that it is my interest, you will find that when the work becomes an interest, no matter how hard it is, I will be willing to do it." ”

"What's more, you think that I study fighter jets, how enviable is this?"

The journalist immediately laughed: "You're right, studying fighter jets sounds interesting. ”

"yes!" Gu Lao said with a hearty smile.

Although he is old, Gu Lao is still talkative.

In this way, the interview entered the formal session.

The questions designed by Chai Jing are all very ingenious, and they can also make Gu Lao have something to say.

Time passed, and half an hour passed.

“…… Thank you for your patience in answering so many of my questions, of course, I talked about your experience before, so finally, I would like to talk to you about other topics. ”

"I'm sure you've also seen that our famous genius Li Mu has caused a lot of talk recently, I want to know what you, as an old-timer, have to say about Li Mu winning two awards in a row?"

Chai Jing's previous question, Gu Lao would think about it for a while before answering, but he didn't think about this question at all, and said directly: "It's very good, he has achievements, and the award should be awarded to him." ”

"What you said is, indeed, Li Mu's achievements are indeed worthy of these two awards." Chai Jing said with a smile: "But I have also seen some statements on the Internet, and I feel that it makes sense, Li Mu is so young and has received such a high honor, will it make him ...... Proud? Something like this, zoomed in to all young people, is also something worth discussing. ”

"Especially after the end of the National Science and Technology Award Conference, Li Mu has attracted all the attention in the past, I also think it is unfair to an old scientist like you, young geniuses are important, but we can't forget old heroes like you."

Gu Lao's brows furrowed, "I don't need you to feel unfair for me, if the old man can't accept the young man's catch-up, then don't be there all day long lamenting that the young man can't do it, and look forward to the hope that the heavenly prince will be vigorous and will not stick to one pattern to reduce talents." ”

As he spoke, he reprimanded: "The Heavenly Father has already lowered talents, and he doesn't want to give concessions to young talents, occupying the pit and not, do you think this is stupid?" ”

Chai Jing didn't expect Gu Lao's reaction to be so big, and hurriedly said: "Gu Lao, you misunderstood, I'm not ......"

Old Academician Gu waved his hand: "If I knew that you were this kind of reporter, I shouldn't have agreed to an interview, you can go." ”

Then he called his assistant and drove Chai Jing out.

"Nowadays, people are so impetuous and scheming, how can there be so many doorways when we took young people to do research?"

重新坐回到座位上，顾老大概是不解气，又骂了一句：“他妈的。 ”

"The interview didn't seem very pleasant."

Suddenly, a voice with a slight smile came from the side.

Another old man walked in, and judging by his age, he might be about the same as Gu Lao.

In fact, in the entire physics community, the name of this old man can be said to be known to everyone, and everyone knows it.

Yang Zhenning, Yang Lao.

He is a Nobel laureate in physics, the proposer of the law of non-conservation of universal symmetry, and the builder of the Yang-Mills equation.

For the entire physics community, Yang Lao's contribution is not insignificant, the cosmic non-conservation theorem directly helped Yang Lao win the Nobel Prize in Physics, and the significance of the Yang-Mills equation is that even the cosmic non-conservation law has to be slightly behind.

The most important Standard Model in particle physics is based on the Yang-Mills equation, without which the Standard Model would not have been derived.

In a more profound sense, the Yang-Mills equation reconciles the various theories of particle physics, making it possible to connect the different theories and discuss the three forces of electric weakness and strength in a single structure.

It's like a martial arts alliance leader, connecting all the masters of all parties together, forming an alliance, abiding by the same framework.

Therefore, Yang Lao's status in the entire physics community is considered to be second only to Newton and Einstein.

As for Yang Lao, why is he here?

It's very simple, the old friend won the highest science and technology award, and he came over to help the old friend celebrate.

In fact, he had already arrived, but when Gu Lao was being interviewed just now, he went to another room to wait.

Gu Lao glanced at Yang Lao, shook his head and said, "I thought this reporter was a normal person, but in the end, he was exposed. ”

Yang Lao sighed slightly: "Different people always have different ideas, we are all so old, don't be angry with someone." ”

顾老摇摇头：“我可憋不住这气，回头我就写封信给领导，这种事情居然还能闹这么大，人家李牧不偷不抢地拿了奖，当时也没人提出反对，怎么现在就偏偏吵起来了？ ”

"Oh, by the way, there is also this kid Lu Zhengmin, this reporter is the one he found, I have to scold him."

As he spoke, he took his mobile phone from the side and started calling.

Lu Zhengmin is the student who helped Chai Jing contact him, and now he also has a high status in the domestic aerospace industry.

However, Gu Lao didn't care whether his student status was high or not, and when the phone was connected, he trained him.

Yang Lao next to him couldn't help laughing when he heard Gu Lao's scolding words.

But then, he read it in his mouth: "Li Mu......"

Of course, he had heard of Li Mu's name many times.

Especially since this time.

Let's not talk about the National Science and Technology Award Conference, let's talk about what Li Mu did in the high-energy institute, which has already attracted his attention.

After all, he studied theoretical physics, especially particle physics.

The discovery of any new particle in the world, he will be interested.

Soon, Gu Lao finished scolding people and hung up the phone directly.

"It's much more comfortable now." Gu Lao laughed: "When I go back and write a letter to the leader, I will clean up all the noisy guys now, even if it is completely enjoyable, that reporter is probably picked up by those guys, hey, when I am senile, will I be brought in by them?" ”

Yang Lao shook his head with a smile, but then asked, "Then what do you think in your heart?" ”

"What's going on in your heart?" Gu Lao waved his hand: "What I said just now, I just thought in my heart, and even felt that this award was arranged very well." ”

"Lao Wang and I, both of whom are so old, won the highest science and technology award, and then the first prize in natural science is below, Li Mu is such a young man who came up, counting the Bao and Xin and Zhao Yuandong in front."

"It's just a mix of the old, middle and young, don't you think this is a lot of inheritance?"

Yang Lao was stunned for a moment, and then cried and laughed: "You think so about feelings?" ”

顾老笑了笑：“世界是我们这些老家伙的，但归根结底还是年轻人的，我们的社会发展了这么久，其实永远都是年轻人在推进着，你想我设计歼八的时候是多少年前，然后歼二零又是多少年前设计的？ ”

"I've seen the guy who designed the J-20, and it's very good."

Yang Lao laughed: "How old were people when they designed the J-20, and you still say that people are young people?" ”

"In front of our old guys, aren't they all young people?" Gu Lao smiled: "Sometimes it's good to talk to young people, such as you, don't you want to meet Li Mu?" I heard that he is also doing well in theoretical physics. ”

Yang Lao pondered for a moment, and then said, "Since you said so, then I'll go see you later." ”

"Hmm." Gu Lao nodded.

The two old men chatted for a long time.

It wasn't until after dinner that Yang Lao Fang left, while Gu Lao wrote a letter.

……

Gu Lao, who had just won the highest science and technology award, wrote a letter in person, and the leaders immediately paid attention to it.

In just one day, the relevant controversy was silenced, and in the face of the conversation of the relevant departments, the dissatisfied people could only express their dissatisfaction.

At the same time, it didn't take long for the newspaper to publish an article titled "Learn from Li Mu and do scientific research in a down-to-earth manner".

With this article, the tone was directly set.

李牧获奖了就是获奖了，只要踏踏实实做科研，搞出了成绩，奖项少不了你的，但如果自己能力不足还质疑奖项颁发的公正性，那以后就别想着获奖了。

Thus, this incident, which caused controversy in academic circles for several days, came to an end.

……

High Energy Institute.

Li Mu's dormitory.

“你小子可以啊，顾老院士为了这件事情，直接亲自给上面写了封信，一下就让那些人的嘴给闭上了。”

Yue Lang said to Li Mu with a smile, very relieved in his heart.

After all, Li Mu is his student, and questioning Li Mu is questioning him, and now of course he is relieved.

Li Mu was stunned, "Old Gu? ”

Yue Lang nodded, and sighed with emotion: "Yes, it is Academician Gu Lao who won the highest award, Gu Lao is a good person." ”

Li Mu came back to his senses, and then nodded as well.

He didn't really care too much about what happened in the past few days, like even though he won the award, he was only happy for two days, and then he returned to his research on the Standard Model.

However, Gu Lao is willing to help him solve this dispute, and he still wants to express his gratitude in his heart.

"Okay, in addition to this matter, I came to you to tell you, we will be ready to go back to Shanghai tomorrow, and you can also prepare here."

"Okay."

Li Mu couldn't help but sigh, and finally wanted to go back.

But at this time, Yue Lang's mobile phone rang.

He answered the phone and listened to a few words, he was surprised for a while, and then said to Li Mu: "Yang Zhenning Yang Lao, he has come to the high-energy institute, he wants to see you." ”

And Li Mu was stunned for a moment.

That old Yang who made great contributions to the establishment of the standard model?
