Chapter 268 Drunk

With so many people taking the stage together, more empty seats originally reserved on the rostrum can be put to use.

There are a total of 225 people, and there is a certain distance between each person, so that when the leaders present awards later, they can wear Sun Creation Medal for each of them.

At this time, several carts were pushed up, and they were filled with medals.

It's exactly Sun Creation Medal.

The size of Sun Creation Medal is not as good as Sun Medal and Solar Ring Medal, but its exquisiteness is not bad at all.

The overall shape is similar to a tortoise shell, which is actually derived from the design of Oracle Bone Script. There is still a sun in the middle, but it uses a hieroglyphic sun, which looks more ancient.

And if you look carefully, you can also find that the "tortoise shell" is also engraved with the characters Oracle Bone Script.

If you bury this medal in the ground and then dig it up after a while, people may suspect that you have dug up some treasure from ancient times.

Of course, don't worry even if you can't understand these Oracle Bone Script, because the translation written in cursive on the back is: This medal commemorates the day created by mortals and its makers.

In this way, people can clearly know what this medal is used to commemorate.

Of course, this shape also represents that achieving nuclear fusion and igniting an artificial sun is a mythical feat just like those ancient legends.

For a time, more than 200 people turned their attention to these medals, as if they were a little starved for it.

At this time, the old leader also came over, followed by Xiao Yi, and the two began to put medals on these Sun-Making Plan researchers and engineers.

Xiao Yi introduces each person's name and the position they hold in the project to the old leader, and the old leader shakes hands with each person and says thank you for your hard work.

There are more than two hundred people, and there is no shortage of everyone.

At this time, all the members of Sun-Making Plan realized that their Chief Designer not only remembered each of their names, but even knew their positions.

Working is not like going to school.

When we were in school, we handed out homework and the teacher called on us by name, and gradually we all got to know each other.

But work is completely different. The number of meetings between different departments may be very few. As for immediate leaders like Xiao Yi, it is even more rare to be able to recognize them all, let alone even remember their positions.

For a time, these researchers and engineers were deeply moved.

Giving awards to more than two hundred people was naturally quite time-consuming, so in the end it was a bit late, so other leaders also came over to give medals to the remaining people.

Of course, the old leader insisted on shaking hands with everyone and asked Xiao Yi to introduce everyone to him.

Finally, everyone except Xiao Yi has been awarded.

Only Xiao Yi is left.

Back in the first row, Xiao Yi rejoined the queue.

The old leader walked forward with a smile, put the Sun Creation Medal on Xiao Yi with his own hands, and shook hands with him.

"Chief Designer Xiao, finally I want to say thank you."

"It's all for the country."

The old leader smiled and nodded, and finally stood next to Xiao Yi, and then took the last group photo.

With the awarding of Sun Creation Medal, it also means that the commendation conference for Sun-Making Plan has also come to a complete end.

At the same time, it also represents the end of this National Science and Technology Awards Conference.

Afterwards, relevant news spread like wildfire.

Today's Chinese people are becoming more and more interested in science and technology. Of course, they are also becoming more aware of the importance of science and technology. Perhaps this has been the case since the chip incident that year.

Now, the country's science and technology are developing more and more vigorously, and various technologies have made great progress. Even chips that have been stuck before can now be produced.

Therefore, based on the pride in national science and technology, people are paying more and more attention to various matters related to national science and technology.

Ever since, as soon as the news about National Science and Technology Awards Conference and Sun-Making Plan commendation conference was broadcast, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The first is the news about State Preeminent Science and Technology Award, which immediately made it to the hot search list.

Unsurprisingly, the two winners also received all kinds of attention.

Among them, Xiao Yi's name and photo are particularly eye-catching.

Many netizens were immediately shocked.

No, they read it right?

Scholar Xiao, actually obtained State Supreme Science and Technology Award?

Are you really not kidding?

Doesn't it mean, State Supreme Science and Technology Award, that generally only scientists of the older generation can win the prize?

Looking at the photos of the two winners together, one is nearly eighty years old and looks quite old in the photo, while the other is young...

It doesn't feel like it can be put together.

For a time, various comments appeared on the Internet.

[So, Scholar Xiao is actually an old scientist in his 70s or 80s, and the country already knows about it. It's just that he has good looks, so he looks like a young man in his twenties?]

[God, you have the skills to take care of your beauty. If you have the skills to take care of your beauty, you can take care of your beauty from seventy or eighty years old to your twenties? Are you treating this as a novel about cultivating immortals?]

[So after excluding all possibilities, the most likely thing is that Scholar Xiao is actually an immortal species. He has lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and the academic problems he has studied have actually been thousands of years old. And then he just took these things out in the 21st century?]

[Don't say it, don't say it!]

[Thanks to netizens for providing me with inspiration, I will write the next book, called "I have lived for 100,000 years, starting a technological revolution in the 21st century"]

[Books without a shop to smash]

[Hurry up and write a ten-dollar bill first.]

[Although I know the people above are joking, I still can't help but feel suspicious when I see these two photos.]

[That's right, if you don't doubt it, you're not human.]

[...]

Undoubtedly, these two photos formed a sharp contrast, which made most netizens feel a very big gap.

However, this sense of gap was quickly forgotten by them. Anyway, Scholar Xiao is their Scholar Xiao, not other countries' Scholar Xiao. The fact is here, they just need to be happy.

Then, people's attention was attracted by the next news.

News of several major awards including Natural Science Award, Technology Invention Award, and Science and Technology Progress Award once again attracted a lot of attention.

However, right behind these news is the news of Sun-Making Plan Commendation Conference.

This is also the news that netizens are most excited about.

Especially the Sun Medal obtained by Xiao Yi, its gorgeous shape makes people wish they could wear it too.

Relevant central media also have detailed information and photos about Sun Medal. As these information and photos were released, more people were amazed.

[Sun Medal] immediately climbed to the top of the hot search list, just like when Medal of the Republic first came out.

For a time, netizens rushed to comment again.

[I'm super, this medal, isn't it so pretty?]

[So handsome, not much different from Medal of the Republic]

[It's not that much different, it's exactly the same grade. And if you look at the chapter chains, they all have completely different patterns. They all seem to be Oracle Bone Script?]

[Yes, you read that right, it's Oracle Bone Script. Didn't the design inspiration mentioned above? It is a feeling of imitating a myth. Mortal Sun Creation is a myth created by our modern people with our own hands. Such a feeling.

The combination of Oracle Bone Script above Sun Medal means: interpreter of technology, leader of civilization, pioneer of energy, creator of the sun, conqueror of the universe.

This is probably what it means. The currently known Oracle Bone Script may not have some of the words in it, but they are basically the same.]

[Awesome, I don't know how powerful I am]

[Wori, the creator of the sun and the conqueror of the universe, sounds like a fortress when he hears it.]

[Can this thing be reproduced?]

[I still want to engrave it. This is a national award. If you see that there is no national emblem on the medal, it is illegal for you to engrave it, just like Medal of the Republic.]

[Oops, no wonder I can't find any imitations of Medal of the Republic, it turns out it's illegal]

[Doesn't that mean that there is only one Sun Medal in the world?]

[If you are looking for medals with the same name, I guess there are a lot of them, but if you want to find one that belongs to nuclear fusion and looks like this, there is really only one like this in the world.]

[Let me try, I'm afraid this guy of three or four thousand won't be able to get off, right?]

[Three or four thousand? I'll just tell you a number, tens of thousands!]

[If Scholar Xiao runs out of money at some point and sells this thing, how much money will it make?]

[Just kidding, don't worry about this kind of thing. There is no way Scholar Xiao will ever have no money. Even if he does, the country will support him. Don't worry]

[That's right.]

[This is equivalent to the results of Two Bombs, One Satellite, need I say more?]

[But having said that, Scholar Xiao is so rich now. When I look at his photos, I don't see any luxury goods on him. It seems that in a photo he took before, the watch is just a Huazi smart watch?]

[There is no way. If you are a little more luxurious, you will have to be criticized by some netizens. What's more, I feel that Scholar Xiao has no such demand at all. Basically, Scholar Xiao's pursuit is all about scientific research.]

[That's right.]

[...]

People's enthusiasm for the discussion about Sun Medal has always been maintained, and the subsequent Solar Ring Medal and Sun Creation Medal have also attracted more people's attention.

The design of Sun Creation Medal has also been more sought after by people, and it has also brought more interpretations.

For example, using such an ancient and mysterious style to commend advanced and technological achievements such as nuclear fusion also represents China's long history, but it has always been proud of the achievements of the world's nations. It has only declined for a hundred years or so. Now that technology such as nuclear fusion has been developed, the future situation is almost bright.

Or to put it another way: Although China has made such great achievements now, it has never forgotten its long history and culture. After all, myths and legends are inherently a kind of culture, so this is called the blooming of technology and culture.

Such interpretations.

Of course, no matter what the interpretation is, it represents people's yearning.

It is unknown whether the designers thought of this.

While people across the country are discussing the Science and Technology Award Conference, on the other side, Sun-Making Plan's celebration banquet is not over yet.

And this time it was an official celebration banquet.

All the staff were invited to Diaoyutai State Guesthouse to participate in the banquet.

Then quite a few leaders also attended the banquet, and the old leader also delivered a banquet speech.

Including Xiao Yi also gave a speech.

Of course, it's nothing more than words of encouragement.

Afterwards, the old leader toasted with tea instead of wine and left.

The remaining people began to celebrate.

Although Xiao Yi doesn't usually drink, on such occasions, he would inevitably drink a lot of wine under the toasts of everyone.

To be honest, his drinking capacity was a bit ordinary, and he got drunk after a while.

Fortunately, when he was drunk, he didn't make any noise, but he staggered a little when walking.

At this time, the people present realized that their Chief Designer Xiao was indeed just an ordinary person.

Also gets drunk.

As the banquet ended, Xiao Yi, with the support of Wang Li, got into the car and returned to the hotel.

After getting out of the car, Wang Li looked at Xiao Yi and said, "Professor Xiao?"

"I'm listening."

Xiao Yi said.

Wang Li showed a strange expression. "Professor Xiao, weren't you pretending to be drunk just now?"

"Of course." Xiao Yi said in a very calm tone, "I'm definitely not drunk."

Then he took a step forward and went out.

As a result, his body fell to the side.

Wang Li was suddenly helpless, okay.

It can only be said that their Chief Designer Xiao looks like a scholar even when he is drunk.

The premise is that it is not moving.

"Professor Xiao, come on, you should go back and rest first."

And at this moment, a voice came from the front. "How much has he drunk?"

Wang Li looked up and saw Luo Mingya coming over.

This hotel is the hotel where Science Island Laboratory joined the National Science and Technology Awards Conference team. Now Luo Mingya is considered a member of Science Island Laboratory, so he also came here.

And it was Wang Li who told Luo Mingya to come down.

"Anyway, I drank a lot." Wang Li thought for a while and said, "I guess there must be nearly twenty cups, I'm afraid it must be more than three taels."

"This..." Luo Mingya shook his head helplessly. "I have never seen him drink so much."

Wang Li also nodded and said, "Me too."

He has been following Xiao Yi for several years, but he has never seen Xiao Yi drink.

No one can force him to drink.

As for today...

It can probably only be said that I am too happy.

"You take him to the room first."

Luo Mingya said, "I'm going to ask the front desk if there is anyone who can relieve the hangover."

"Okay." Wang Li nodded.

Xiao Yi next to him still looked calm when he was being supported, and he didn't drink alcohol, so he looked like he was fine.

He just said, "I don't need to, just take a nap."

Luo Mingya rolled his eyes and said, "You have never drank before and you drink so much. Alcohol will harm your body."

Xiao Yi stopped talking.

Later, Wang Li took him back to the room.

After a while, Luo Mingya also came, bringing Hangover Relief Oral Liquid up with him.

Wang Li saw her coming, and then said, "Miss Luo, please take care of Professor Xiao first, and I will go outside to find some hangover cure. I remember that there is a store nearby that sells Hangover Tea, which is very useful. I will go look for it."

Luo Mingya nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Wang Li smiled and said, "It's not troublesome, I'm here to serve Professor Xiao."

Then he left the room and closed the door.

After leaving the door, he looked at the door and said to himself, "Professor Xiao, I hope you can give me some help. I'm here to help. This is what the leader asked me to do, so don't blame me."

Then he ran to another room.
