The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Chapter 336 Awards Controversy
However, just when Liu Xianchao was in trouble, the units that had originally recommended Wang Haoran as a candidate called one after another to withdraw their recommendations for Wang Haoran.

Liu Xianchao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Haoran is no longer among the candidates, but there are still many Dragon Country scientists on the list of candidates for the Pangu Applied Technology Award.

Because, in recent years, Longguo has developed rapidly in the fields of electronic technology and communication technology, producing a large number of very influential inventions that have truly benefited mankind around the world.

In comparison, the stars in other parts of the world are much dimmer.

The previous three Pangu Awards were all won by foreigners.

It would be too unfair if the award was given to a foreigner this year.

Liu Xianchao also talked to Wang Haoran specifically about this matter.

Wang Haoran told Liu Xianchao: When judging the Pangu Prize, we must still follow the principle of giving priority to results and pay attention to maintaining global influence, but we must also take into account the principle of highlighting the country's strong scientific and technological capabilities.

The Pangu Prize has been awarded for three sessions and has now had a huge influence around the world, basically overshadowing the Nobel Prize.

At this time, we must pay attention to the principle of "highlighting our country's strong scientific and technological capabilities."

In any case, domestic scientists will win more awards than foreigners. This principle is certain.

When Liu Xianchao thought of this, he knew what to do next.

……

Qiu Bojun was busy in his office.

He is actually only 23 years old this year.

However, he has worked at Pangu Technology for many years.

Strictly speaking, he can be considered one of the founding employees of Pangu Technology.

Today, Qiu Bojun serves as the head of Pangu Technology Software Company.

This position is considered to be a high and powerful one.

He now manages hundreds of thousands of programmers.

Today, almost all important computer application software in the world were developed under his leadership.

Qiu Bojun is very grateful to his teacher Wang Haoran.

Until now, he often recalls the winter of that year when he was brought to Wang Haoran.

He didn't know why the teacher recognized that he, a teenager from a small place, had a talent for computers.

But he knew that if his teacher had not discovered him, he might not have achieved what he has today.

He is only 23 years old, but he is already successful.

Qiu Bojun was working when his secretary brought him the day's newspaper.

In fact, he hardly reads the newspaper anymore.

Because he mostly uses Weibo to read the news.

"Boss Qiu, you are now the most popular candidate for the Pangu Technology Application Award."

"You may very well win this year's Pangu Award!"

The secretary said as he put down the newspaper.

Qiu Bojun was stunned: "Ah?! Are you kidding?"

"Can someone like me win the Pangu Award?"

The secretary blinked and said, "Look at the news!"

"Today's third edition of People's Daily is about speculation on the most popular candidates for the Pangu Awards."

Qiu Bojun shook his head and picked up today's People's Daily.

Qiu Bojun never considered himself a scientist.

He is a programmer!

Well! He actually participated in many other scientific research projects led by Wang Haoran.

But that was just helping out.

The Pangu Award is currently the most well-known and influential science and technology award in the world!

Moreover, the Pangu Prize has now surpassed the Nobel Prize.

How could I possibly win the Pangu Prize?
Qiu Bojun opened the People's Daily.

The third edition is indeed a prediction of the top candidates for the Pangu Awards.

And he is a popular candidate for the Pangu Applied Technology Award.

His award-winning work is the Pangu document office suite software.

This package includes a lot of things, mainly text, tables, PPT, picture display, etc.

Pangu Document Office Suite is actually a software project led by Qiu Bojun under the auspices of Wang Haoran.

Wang Haoran also provided a lot of guidance on this set.

Thanks to Wang Haoran's guidance, this office suite was produced very quickly.

After it was released, it immediately became a nationwide sensation.

Then Pangu Document Suite began to become popular around the world along with Pangu Technology's computer products.

To date, almost all office word software used by people around the world is Pangu Document Suite.

The influence of this software is quite powerful.

Qiu Bojun took a deep breath.

After reading the analysis of his chances of winning, he felt a little excited.

He thought to himself, why did I never think that the Pangu Document Set was so important?

Besides, it seems that this software suite is not the result of my own efforts alone, but the collective efforts of all.

Moreover, my teacher actually made the greatest contribution, because he explained to me the architecture of this software.

He also taught me to use the programming database software he had developed.

Qiu Bojun felt a little uneasy.

He remembered that his teacher seemed to be the favorite for this award a few days ago.

However, the teacher was afraid of a bad influence and resolutely withdrew from the award queue.

Qiu Bojun thought that all the teachers had quit.

What if I win the prize, wouldn’t people laugh at me?

I actually stepped on the award my teacher won.

This doesn't look good either...

As Qiu Bojun thought about this, he became more and more uneasy.

He got up and went to find Wang Haoran.

Wang Haoran is not in the office at the moment.

He was directing his team members in the test workshop to build a model of the stealth fighter jet that he was helping Chengfei to develop.

When Qiu Bojun came over, Wang Haoran was operating a lathe to make a part.

The main purpose of making this model is to blow the wind tunnel.

Qiu Bojun came to Wang Haoran's side and began to help Wang Haoran.

Wang Haoran glanced at him and didn't say anything at first.

After finishing the accessories, Wang Haoran said, "Bojun, what can I do for you?"

Qiu Bojun said a little embarrassedly: "Teacher, I think I have been selected as the most popular candidate for the Pangu Applied Technology Award again."

“I feel quite ashamed.”

"I want to ask you, how can I cancel the qualification for this competition?"

"If I call the selection committee and tell them, will they withdraw it?"

Wang Haoran was a little surprised: "Why do you want to cancel it?"

Qiu Bojun said: "You have cancelled all of them..."

Wang Haoran said: "I withdrew my application because I am the founder of this award. If I participate, it will be like being both a judge and a contestant, which is unfair to others."

“So, I have to refuse to participate.”

"You are different!"

Qiu Bojun said: "But I feel that I am not qualified at all!"

“I haven’t accomplished anything great.”

"If I really get selected and win the award, I think it will cause a lot of controversy."

"I don't want you to be criticized because of me."

Wang Haoran shook his head and said with a smile: "It seems that you underestimate yourself!"

"Bojun, Pangu Document Suite is currently popular all over the world. It is the most popular application software!"

"Conservative estimates would be that 20 to 30 billion people are using this software."

“So, it can be said to be a representative of the software field.”

"As a key creative staff member, you deserve this award!"

"Application software is also a part of applied technology!" "Besides, I think application software is no worse than hardware!"

"So, there won't be any controversy about you winning this award!"

Qiu Bojun said: "But, in fact, this software also has a lot of your hard work."

"Besides, the Pangu operating system you preside over is much more important than the Pangu document suite..."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "But I won't participate in the judging."

"Don't think too much."

"Just wait for the award results."

"As my student, it's normal for you to win this award!"

Qiu Bojun scratched his head.

In fact, he also saw Xiao Renming's name among the scientists most likely to win the award.

Xiao Renming became a candidate because he made very important contributions to the development of high-speed digital cameras.

Xiao Renming ranks fifth among the favorites to win the award.

It's ranked relatively far back.

That’s the teacher’s father-in-law.

"What? Do you have anything else to say?" Wang Haoran asked with a smile.

Qiu Bojun said: "Oh, nothing..."

"I just saw that Teacher Xiao is also a candidate."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "He has no chance."

"The impact of his work is far less than that of your document set, and more people benefit from it."

Qiu Bojun blinked and said, "Teacher, he is your father-in-law."

Wang Haoran said, "You kid, half of it is in your mouth and half of it is in your stomach. What do you want to say?"

"Even if he's my father-in-law, he won't win the award if his results aren't good enough!"

"Go ahead, it's yours, you can't hide from it!"

Qiu Bojun said: "If I win the prize, I will donate all the prize money."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Just make the decision yourself."

By the way, Xiao Renming naturally also saw the People's Daily on that day.

He had actually been on the list of candidates for the Pangu Prize before.

Last year, he was nominated for being the leading inventor of the color computer monitor and was even ranked second in the Applied Technology Award.

However, in the end he failed to create a miracle.

In fact, Xiao Renming was very indifferent at this time.

He is now a double academician and has won the first prize of the National Science and Technology Invention Award.

He no longer has any great desire for honor.

He just wanted to do more for the country in his lifetime, that's all.

After Xiao Renming finished reading the news, he threw the newspaper aside.

He just treated this as a minor incident.

But at this time, Peking University President Li Baoping came to visit.

Li Baoping previously served as the director of the Department of Radio Electronics.

Because of his outstanding professional ability, he gradually rose to the position of school leadership.

At the beginning of this year, he became the new president of Peking University.

"Teacher Xiao, congratulations! You are once again the most popular candidate for the Pangu Science and Technology Application Award." Li Baoping said.

Xiao Renming smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Don't take this seriously."

“I never thought about winning this award.”

Li Baoping said: "How can we not take the Pangu Award seriously?"

"It's now the world's number one prize!"

"It has been three years since the award was given, and Beijing Institute of Technology has already had winners, but no one from our school has won any prizes yet..."

"All the teachers and students are a little unwilling!"

"Teacher Xiao, why don't you try harder?"

Xiao Renming shrugged: "How can I work hard on this?"

Li Baoping lowered his voice and said, "Look for Comrade Haoran!"

"Comrade Haoran has the final say in judging the Pangu Prize!"

"If he wants someone to win the award, isn't that easy for him to do?"

Xiao Renming was stunned: "Who said this?"

"Haoran doesn't have that much ability."

"What he requires is that the award must be fair, just, open and transparent. There must be no trickery allowed!"

Li Baoping smiled and said, "What you said doesn't make any sense."

"There are definitely some things in this world that are not shady, but I don't think there are many!"

"As long as Comrade Haoran is willing, he can definitely help make it happen."

"By then, you will be the first person to win the Pangu Award."

“It’s almost like a lifetime achievement award.”

"Teacher Xiao, aren't you moved?"

Xiao Renming shook his head: "It's better not to do anything that breaks the rules."

"It is not easy for our Pangu Prize to have the global reputation it has today."

……

Of course, Xiao Renming would not tell Wang Haoran that he wanted to win the award.

However, just because he didn't say it doesn't mean his wife won't say it.

When Lin Yaling saw that her husband had another chance to win the Pangu Prize, she became a little uneasy.

It was a big hit last year, but only ranked fifth this year.

This means that Xiao Renming probably still won’t have any chance this year.

"But if you don't seize this good opportunity, you will probably regret it in the future, right?"

So, that evening after Xiao Renming returned home, Lin Yaling discussed with Xiao Renming and wanted to go talk to Wang Haoran.

Of course Xiao Renming refused to let his wife tell it.

Because this is a bit uncivilized.

However, Lin Yaling still insisted on going to Wang Haoran to talk about this matter.

Wang Haoran didn't expect that his mother-in-law would plead for his father-in-law.

He decided to say something from the heart to his mother-in-law.

He told his mother-in-law that if he really interfered with the Pangu Award judging, he should be able to change the final result of the award.

He should be able to help his father-in-law get the award.

However, this will cause quite a stir, create a lot of uproar, and may even completely ruin the reputation of the Pangu Award.

The Pangu Prize, after all, is actually a handle and an important tool for Dragon Country to compete for technological dominance.

This award must not have any flaws! This is an important factor in the victory of the super giant competition.

"Mom, in order to avoid criticism from others, I have even withdrawn from the qualification of judging the award forever."

"So, please understand me, okay?"

Wang Haoran said to Lin Yaling sincerely.

Lin Yaling sighed, feeling a little ashamed.

She felt that she was indeed a little too selfish.

"Haoran, I'm sorry. I was confused at the time and thought that helping your father win the Pangu Award would make his resume more glorious."

“I didn’t even think about it.”

"I swear, I will never do such a thing that drags things down again."

Wang Haoran finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had convinced his mother-in-law.

He thought to himself: My mother-in-law is actually a very reasonable person...

By the way, it is really difficult to maintain the purity of the Pangu Award.

However, the ways of the world are something that must be discussed everywhere.

It is very difficult to stick to principles, but you have to grit your teeth and persevere.

Zhang Huaigong, the director of Shenfei, got a full set of design drawings from Wang Haoran. In order to catch up with the progress, he returned overnight after getting the drawings. After returning, he immediately called a meeting with technical personnel to speed up the development of the stealth fighter designed by Wang Haoran. Of course, he encountered a lot of troubles in the process.
