"I really didn't expect that one day, I can look forward to the Science and Technology Awards Conference again."
Before the conference officially started, Li Jiangan, who was sitting next to Xiao Yi, couldn't help but sigh.
Zhao Zhanyou on the side also nodded and said with a smile, "In the past, we didn't dare to think about winning awards or anything."
It is quite difficult to win awards for nuclear fusion.
Of course, they would never dare to think about winning a prize.
However, now they can bring so many people with them and wait for the awarding moment.
This feeling, for them, can be regarded as getting through.
"You deserve this too."
Xiao Yi said.
Li Jiangan smiled, "I think this is all brought to us by Chief Designer Xiao."
Xiao Yi waved his hand. "What has been done is not to mention the credit. What's more, each of us can enjoy the credit today."
"I have always admired Chief Designer Xiao's mentality."
Li Jiangan nodded.
"Also, how is the construction of your reactor over there?"
Xiao Yi asked again.
"The foundation has been laid, now we're just waiting for the materials to arrive."
Li Jiangan said.
Xiao Yi nodded. "That's pretty fast."
Li Jiangan smiled and said, "I was too lazy and just learned 90% of Sun-Making Reactor's plan, so I just started construction."
"Then coupled with the support from the state, the funds will arrive quickly, and the construction speed will be fast enough."
"As the saying goes, quality and quantity are guaranteed and delivery is guaranteed."
"It is estimated that it will be completed in about nine months."
"That's good."
Xiao Yi nodded.
After all, they have experience, so it is normal for them to be faster behind them.
After chatting for a while, they also became quiet, waiting for the official start of the conference.
Just like that, the time came to 10 o'clock.
This National Science and Technology Awards Conference officially begins.
As always, the host came to the stage to host and announced things related to this National Science and Technology Awards Conference, and then invited the old leader to give a speech.
After some speeches, the award ceremony officially began.
The first award, as always, is State Supreme Science and Technology Award.
Who will receive this award this year?
Most of the people present were not particularly curious. Anyway, no matter whose family the flower fell into, it would not be possible for it to fall into their own family.
"Next to be announced is the winner of State Supreme Science and Technology Award."
"The first winner, Xiao Yi!"
Everyone in the audience, who had been a little calm just now, immediately sat upright when they heard this name.
What?
Did they hear it correctly?
The first winner turned out to be Xiao Yi?
Among the older generation of domestic scientists, is there another one named Xiao Yi?
For a moment, they didn't even dare to think of Xiao Yi himself.
Some people even felt that they heard it wrong and it should be someone else's name.
But no matter what, there is only one Xiao Yi who is most familiar to the scholars in China, so many of them still turn their attention to Xiao Yi who is sitting in the first row.
However, at this time Xiao Yi also seemed a little unprepared.
Before coming, Liu Cong just told him that there would be an award ceremony specially prepared for Sun-Making Plan, and he, Chief Designer, would also have a very special award to be presented.
Didn't he say that he would be awarded a State Supreme Science and Technology Award?
For a moment, he himself doubted whether the host was talking about him.
However, the host's next words completely confirmed to everyone that this Xiao Yi is that Xiao Yi.
"Professor Xiao Yi is a famous mathematician, physicist and Materials Science scientist in my country. He is also an internationally renowned and world-renowned scholar."
"He has solved many unsolved problems and conjectures in mathematics and physics, including the famous Goldbach Conjecture, Twin Prime Conjecture, as well as the existence and smoothness of the solutions to the Navier-Stokes equation, which are listed as Millennium Prize Problems by the international academic community, and the Yang-Mills existence and mass gap problems."
"Besides, he also..."
State Supreme Science and Technology Award itself is a lifetime achievement award, so when awarding the award, introducing the various achievements of the recipient in the past is part of the process.
However, once all the achievements made by Xiao Yi are listed, it is simply impossible to stop.
The shock of other researchers present when they first heard that this award was awarded to Xiao Yi gradually turned into numbness, and in the end it became a matter of course.
Which person who won the highest award was not over sixty years old?
As someone who won an award in your twenties, you should have achieved more than ordinary people!
Ever since, the people present gradually accepted it.
As for Xiao Yi, what else can he say?
His mentality has never changed. I am lucky to gain, and I am destined to lose.
To be able to win this award, I can only say that I am indeed lucky.
"... And, under the leadership of Professor Xiao Yi, he has successfully overcome various difficulties in the process of realizing a controllable nuclear fusion commercial reactor, bringing this nearly infinite and clean energy to China and all mankind. It is a landmark event for mankind to enter the third industrial revolution."
"Professor Xiao Yi's contributions to scientific theories and technological inventions are enough to be called great."
"Therefore, the first winner of this conference, State Preeminent Science and Technology Award, is officially awarded to Professor Xiao Yi."
"Professor Xiao Yi, please come on stage to receive the award."
The BGM became high-spirited, and everyone in the audience accepted this incident and applauded Xiao Yi.
"Chief Designer Xiao, congratulations."
Li Jiangan next to him also smiled and said to Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi shrugged, then stood up from his seat and walked onto the stage.
The old leader was already waiting for him on the stage.
"Chief Designer Xiao, thank you for your hard work."
The old leader patted Xiao Yi on the shoulder and encouraged him.
Xiao Yi was flattered and kept saying, "It's not hard, it's not hard."
The old leader smiled.
When he presented the award to Xiao Yi three years ago, he asked Xiao Yi about nuclear fusion. He never thought that three years later, it would be a success.
"Well, accept your honor."
The old leader said, then took out a medal from the side and put it on Xiao Yi himself.
Xiao Yi picked up the medal with his own hands. It was heavy and full of weight. He lowered his head and took a closer look. The delicate design was also very pleasing to the eye.
The central pattern of the medal is five five-pointed stars, symbolizing the national award; the outer ring uses visual elements such as streamers, peonies, wishful shapes and wings, symbolizing honor, auspiciousness and the spread of science and technology.
Xiao Yi, who has participated in several conferences, has also seen this medal many times.
It's just that I was only able to look at it a few times before, but never touch it with my own hands.
But now, he not only touched it, but even put it on.
Hmm...
Among all his collections, it can be placed in the middle position.
Many people in the audience looked at the scene in front of them and expressed emotion.
I really didn't expect that this medal would one day be awarded to such a young person.
The applause started again.
Today, some people may still think that Xiao Yi is young, but no one will look down upon him because he is young.
There may have been people who didn't take it seriously in the past. They may have thought that the achievements made by Xiao Yi were only theoretical, and that his achievements were just castles in the air and could not be implemented in practice.
But now, in the face of a technology like nuclear fusion that can truly benefit the country and all mankind, people with such ideas can only express their complete conviction at this time.
After receiving the award, I still had a red certificate in my hand, and then took a photo with the old leader.
At this point, the awarding process for State Preeminent Science and Technology Award is completed.
"Okay, sit here."
The old leader smiled and patted Xiao Yi on the shoulder and pointed to the seat next to him.
As the winner of State Preeminent Science and Technology Award, you can sit directly on the podium, and when other awards are presented later, you will also be awarded awards to the winners together with many leaders.
Xiao Yi nodded, and then sat on the seat prepared next to him.
Then, the award ceremony continued and the second State Preeminent Science and Technology Award was awarded.
The second winner is an old man. At this time, it fits the impression of State Preeminent Science and Technology Award by the people present.
Soon, State Preeminent Science and Technology Award was issued.
Next, the three grand prizes will be awarded.
Natural Science Award, Technology Invention Award, and Science and Technology Progress Award.
Altogether, more than a hundred projects were awarded.
And Xiao Yi has not won any more awards. After all, he has indeed not made any achievements in other areas in the past three years.
However, it is a different experience to go from being a former award winner to becoming an award presenter?
Facing the winners one by one, he continued to award certificates to them.
If you look at it from an age perspective, this feeling is a bit strange.
A young man was actually giving awards to a bunch of people in their forties, fifties and sixties, and there were even older ones among them. It looked really weird.
Just like that, in this weird feeling, the three award ceremony finally came to an end.
Afterwards, there were some international cooperation awards and the like, which were all awarded quickly.
In the past, the conference would have ended here.
However, everyone here knows that it is still not over yet.
As the BGM changes, the atmosphere of the whole venue changes.
Then, the host came back to the stage and said to the people present, "Now, the major awards have been awarded. Now, the theme we will enter is the Sun-Making Plan Award Ceremony."
"Sun-Making Plan, the full name is Mortal Sun-Making Plan, is a major scientific research plan that our country finally established based on the present, looking forward to the future, comprehensively considering various basic technologies and human resources, and based on the suggestions of Chief Designer Xiao Yi."
"The main goal is to successfully achieve controllable nuclear fusion power generation!"
"After Sun-Making Plan was established, the team led by Chief Designer Xiao Yi, after more than two years of hard research, was finally officially ignited on January 31, 2027, and achieved a power generation power of 15GW in the first ignition!"
"The nuclear fusion reaction in Sun-Making Reactor has been running continuously for nearly five months to this day, and has always maintained stable operation."
"Today, with the experience of Sun-Making Plan, our country now has seven nuclear fusion reactors under construction, and more than five reactors are under planning. In the future, there will also be plans to build nuclear fusion power stations across the country, truly making our country the first country in the world where more than 80% of the power supply comes from nuclear fusion clean energy."
"And with the help of nuclear fusion power generation, we will also become a real energy power! It will truly help us realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese Dream!"
"In order to commend the contributions of all members of Sun-Making Plan, according to the government's decision, a commendation meeting will be held here!"
As the host finished speaking, everyone present immediately applauded.
Basically, everyone knew something like this was going to happen today.
But everyone also knows that this is the reward that Sun-Making Plan everyone deserves.
"The first one awarded is, Sun Medal."
"Sun Medal, award to Sun-Making Plan Chief Designer Xiao Yi in recognition of Xiao Yi's most outstanding contribution in the entire research plan."
Applause rang out, and everyone once again turned their attention to Xiao Yi, who was already sitting on the podium.
Xiao Yi stood up, bowed to the scientists and leaders present, and then walked to the rostrum.
The old leader also stepped forward and came to Xiao Yi's side.
The staff also pushed a cart forward. On the cart, there was a piece of red velvet cloth, and there was a tray on the red velvet cloth. In the box, there was Sun Medal.
It is said to be Sun Medal, which seems very simple, but its design is quite extraordinary.
The body of the medal is a sun, and in the middle of the sun is the national emblem, which also means that this award is a national award, just like State Preeminent Science and Technology Award and Medal of the Republic.
A five-pointed star is also formed around the sun. On each corner of the five-pointed star, there are some Oracle Bone Script carved on it. The combination of Oracle Bone Script means: Mortal Sun Creation.
The ribbon of the medal is not a simple red ribbon, but a medal chain similar to Medal of the Republic. It looks gorgeous, but the Sun Medal medal chain incorporates quite a few elements of Oracle Bone Script into it, adding a mysterious and ancient feeling to the medal as a whole. This is also to symbolize that Mortal Sun Creation is a feat that can match the ancient myth.
Xiao Yi had already taken off the previous medal of State Preeminent Science and Technology Award at this time, and then put on Sun Medal.
Beautiful and gorgeous.
Applause rang out again, and everyone in the audience sent their own congratulations.
Looking at the medal in his arms, Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows.
The collection in the collection room is +1 again.
Hmm...
It can be placed in the center together with State Preeminent Science and Technology Award.
Of course, there will definitely be other prizes later.
Sun Medal, just reward him alone.
Sure enough, as he returned to his seat, the host began to announce the next award.
"The following is issued, Solar Ring Medal."
"Solar Ring Medal, awarded to those who have made outstanding contributions in Sun-Making Plan, Li Jiangan, Zhao Zhanyou..."
The host began to read the names of the winners.
Then, Li Jiangan and others also had big smiles on their faces, and then stood up to go on stage to receive the award.
There are a total of eighteen people, representing researchers, engineers, etc. who have made major contributions to the project.
Solar Ring Medal is not as gorgeous as Sun Medal, but it is also very beautiful. There is a sun ring on the outside, with the sun in the middle, and a five-pointed star in the middle of the sun.
Solar Ring Medal has been awarded, and finally there are rewards belonging to all members of Sun-Making Plan.
"The next award is, Sun Creation Medal!"
"Sun Creation Medal rewards everyone who has contributed to Sun-Making Plan and put in their wisdom and sweat! I would like to commemorate every hero with this!"
With a bang, everyone in the upper left corner of the auditorium stood up. A total of more than 200 people came to the stage to accept the award from Sun Creation Medal.
And Xiao Yi is also among them.
This is a medal for each of them!
