Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 939: Who is the Grantor?
The academician awarding ceremony came to its final stage after Zhou Rui’s speech amid thunderous applause.

That is issuing certificates.

Academy of Sciences, is a dark blue hardcover book.

The Academy of Engineering has a big red hardcover book.

The presidents of the two houses stood in the center and presented the awards one by one in an alternating manner.

Perhaps it was the fruits of years of hard work, or perhaps it was Zhou Rui’s speech that stirred my heart.

Every new academician who came up to receive the honor looked particularly solemn.

Each academician will hold up his certificate and take a photo with the dean as a souvenir before returning to his seat.

And Zhou Rui was naturally the last one.

When the president of the Academy of Sciences called Zhou Rui's name, everyone's eyes turned to him.

If they were more curious about Zhou Rui before, now they have a personal feeling of "honor".

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhou Rui walked to the center and nodded to the president of the Academy of Sciences.

The dean was about to say something when suddenly, Mr. Sun Jiadong from the audience said, "Dean Hou, I have an unwelcome request."

Dean Hou finally realized that it was something he had agreed on before, but he had only sent dozens of them, and they were already ingrained in his muscles.
So he took a half step back, leaving space for Old Sun.

Old Sun's legs and feet were still very nimble, he just walked very slowly. He wore the most formal Zhongshan suit today and even polished his own leather shoes.

Under Zhou Rui's surprised gaze, Old Sun walked up to Dean Hou step by step and took the dark blue notebook from him.

He wanted to personally pass this honor to Zhou Rui.

Finally, he looked at Zhou Rui deeply, then picked up the certificate, brushed the words on it with his skinny fingers, and read aloud:
"Comrade Zhou Rui! You have made outstanding achievements in the fields of mathematics and number theory, and have innovative scientific and technological achievements. In recognition of the country's scientific and technological progress, you are now awarded the honorary title of Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences for life."

Old Sun smiled and looked at Zhou Rui: "It's a pity that aerospace is now assigned to the Academy of Engineering. I wanted to give it to you, but this is also good, hahaha."

"Comrade Zhou Rui, please accept this honor and move on."

Zhou Rui placed his hand on the dark blue book, but did not take it immediately. Instead, he smiled and said, "Comrade, I wonder who gave me the title?"

Sun Jiadong was stunned.

Zhou Rui whispered, "Mr. Sun, help me improve my image! Make me look awesome!"

Seeing Zhou Rui's lively eyes, he seemed to understand what Zhou Rui meant.

Old Sun laughed, and then said in a louder voice: "It is awarded by! Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, winner of the Two Bombs and One Satellite Medal! Winner of the Republic G Medal! Sun Jiadong! I have the honor to confer it!"

Zhou Rui took the certificate from Mr. Sun with a serious expression.

He didn't really want to show off, but just wanted to make Mr. Sun happy.

Just now, when Mr. Sun was reading aloud, Zhou Rui also used his "Left Eye of Insight" to take a peek. Mr. Sun's physical condition was fine, but his mind was rather weak. It seemed that he had been worried for a long time, and the result of accumulated grief.

There is no cure for it, but it is helpful to have a good time every now and then.

After a special title awarding ceremony, Zhou Rui and Mr. Sun took a photo together. Dean Hou, who was standing behind them, wanted to come forward and show his face, but he didn't get the chance.

Afterwards, Zhou Rui was very sensible and did not return to his seat, but looked at Dean Li of the Academy of Engineering who was a few meters away.

The other party was holding a red notebook and was about to come up to speak when another voice came from behind.

The elder stood up with trembling legs: "Then I'll join in the fun, otherwise it's a wasted trip~"

The local accent brought a natural sense of humor, and many people smiled.

Dean Li could only take a few steps forward, supporting the elder, and come to the center.

The elder glanced at Zhou Rui like a naughty boy, then opened the certificate.

After a while, there was silence.

Then he looked to his side and said, "I forgot to bring my reading glasses."

Well, Dean Li could only help get the glasses again.

Finally, the elder held the certificate and said solemnly: "Comrade Zhou Rui has made outstanding achievements in launch engineering, overall design of spacecraft and intelligent equipment manufacturing, and has made major engineering breakthroughs. In recognition of the achievements of national scientific and technological progress, he is now awarded the lifetime honorary title of Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering."

Zhou Rui winked and said, "Can you also help me improve my level?"

The elder chuckled and said, "Awarded by! An academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering! A recipient of the Order of the Republic G! An old expert in rice planting! Do you think this will work?"

Zhou Rui nodded with satisfaction: "That's enough, enough to pretend for a lifetime."

The elder shook his head: "You are still young, it will take you a lifetime to make a big fuss out of such a small matter!"

"Haha, you're right. I'll try to make some big moves in the future!"

Blue book in the left hand, red book in the right hand.

The ceremony of awarding the title of academician officially ended.

And Zhou Rui also took over a new chapter from the two old men.

--------

At the end of the academician ceremony, there was a group photo taken in front of the auditorium.

The position for group photos is no longer determined by seating order, but by height and gender.

The nine female academicians were in the front middle, while someone like Zhou Rui, who was tall and had long legs, was naturally placed in the last row.

This is the first time that the newly elected academicians of the two academies have taken a group photo since the founding of the Academy of Engineering in 94.

After that, we returned to the hotel and had dinner.

Some academicians already have projects with the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, so they will stay for a while longer, while others, in theory, can leave now.

Before parting, Zhou Rui made an appointment with Yuanlao and Sun Lao to return to Shanghai together the next day, and then returned to the hotel.

The mess on the ground is still there, mainly because Lintuo didn't dare let anyone touch it, for fear that there might be something important inside, (parentheses) - although there really isn't anything.

He didn't even throw away the garbage, but just helped Zhou Rui tidy it up and put it aside to make the room look better.

Zhou Rui put his hands on his hips, sighed and said, "Okay, clean it up yourself."

But in the end, it still couldn't be completely restored. After all, the bed was dismantled to make a wooden plane, so the only choice was to pay for it.
As for tonight, Zhou Rui just spent the night on the mattress.

The next morning, Zhou Rui got on the car to pick up Qiu Lixun, and then met up with the veterans and Mr. Sun at the high-speed railway station and returned to Shanghai together.

They directly booked a business car. The train was more stable and suitable for the elderly, but the more than four hours was still unbearable. Both Yuan and Sun fell asleep.

Zhou Rui was browsing his phone, telling his parents the good news while checking the news.
Although the "Xingtian Project" has entered the second half, he can free up some of his energy, but there is still a lot to do in the next few months.

Because in less than a month, on September 9, the G4 will open.

By then, leaders from 36 countries will attend the conference, which will be the most fully attended in more than a decade.

(The G20 is actually 19+1, the 1 is the European Union, a supranational entity, plus some others, so the actual number is greater than 20)

The conference is also accompanied by the "G20 Business Summit", "G20 Civil Society Summit", "G20 Think Tank Summit", etc.

The participating countries together account for 85% of the global GDP and 75% of international trade. Realistically speaking, the combined strength of the remaining 150-odd countries is far less than that.

When China does big events, it either doesn't do them at all or does them so well that other countries feel ashamed of themselves. Therefore, the Hangzhou Summit is the largest in scale and the most thoroughly prepared.

The leaders of Hangzhou City even went to the emperor to file a complaint and took down Kaiming Smart, paying it to renovate the main venue and supporting communities.

While Zhou Rui was busy working on brain science and aircraft, the employees of Kaiming Intelligence had already been working there for several months.

Zhou Rui was notified early in the morning and he would also participate as a representative of the business community.

Just as he was thinking about this, Zhou Rui saw a message on his phone and then he reacted.

Another global event in the second half of the year has already begun.

Rio Olympics.
