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

Chapter 74 Awards Ceremony [Please read on! ]

Due to special reasons, the National Science and Technology Conference has not been held for many years.

Of course, the previous National Invention Award and other scientific and technological awards have also stopped being selected and awarded.

Now, the National Science and Technology Conference will be resumed.

At the same time, the selection of scientific invention awards was resumed, and the establishment of awards such as the National Natural Science Award and the National Science and Technology Progress Award was promoted.

This is a grand event in the scientific community and scientists are very excited.

In fact, over the past many years, Longguo's technological development has never stopped, and a large number of advanced scientific and technological achievements have emerged.

There are as many as six or seven thousand items that have been reported.

With so many achievements, the competition is quite fierce.

There are so many achievements, many of which are quite important.

But at this meeting, Wang Haoran unexpectedly became the focus.

Why? Because he is too young, only in his 20s, but he has submitted several achievements for this award.

Among these achievements are herbicides in agriculture, casting equipment and agricultural motor tricycles in machinery manufacturing, and even the 77 fully automatic rifle in the military industry.

His achievements covered so many industries that they shocked the veteran scientists.

This young man is amazing.

While Wang Haoran shocked the conference, he also posed a difficult problem for the judges: Wang Haoran's scientific research results are quite outstanding, but he is too young, and many veteran scientists would be dissatisfied if he were awarded an award.

The prizes are so limited and the competition is so fierce.

Someone suggested that: Comrade Wang Haoran is still young and will have plenty of opportunities to win awards in the future, so this award should give way to the old comrade.

This suggestion was agreed by many people.

In fact, Fang Yi also agreed with this suggestion in his heart.

However, the unit that reported Wang Haoran for the award included the military, which made the situation tricky and difficult to fool.

Fang Yi is now in a dilemma.

Just when Fang Yi was a little hesitant, a staff member came up to him quickly, put a piece of paper in front of him, and said, "Comrade Fang Yi, please take a look."

Fang Yi opened it and saw that it was written by the leader himself.

The content of the note was very simple: Comrade Wang Haoran must be awarded the prize! Science and technology awards are based on achievements, not qualifications! This is the most fair principle!

Fang Yi felt a little ashamed after reading the note.

Yes! Since it is a science and technology award, it should only look at the results, and not just because the other party is young! This will obviously dampen the enthusiasm of young people.

It is not easy for Longguo to produce an outstanding young scientific and technological worker like Wang Haoran.

With this in mind, he coughed lightly and said into the microphone: "Comrades, I just received a note from the leader. This note is about a young man who was dissatisfied."

"Would you like me to read it to you?"

When everyone heard this, they knew that the controversy surrounding Wang Haoran had alarmed the leaders above.

Someone said, "Comrade Fang Yi, please read it to everyone!"

Fang Yi coughed lightly and read the contents of the leader's note.

After he finished reading, he said, "Comrades, I think the leader is right!"

"Since it is a scientific award, it should be judged based on achievements, not seniority."

"Wang Haoran has reported five achievements this time. Two of them are groundbreaking achievements that fill the gaps in our country! Another one fills a gap in the world, that is, the agricultural motorized tricycle he invented!" "I personally think that his achievements are worthy of a science and technology progress award! What do you think?"

Fang Yi's words caused the meeting room to fall silent for a moment.

However, the silence didn't last long, as Vice President Hua Luogeng said, "I support Comrade Fang Yi!"

"It is truly commendable that a talented young man can produce so many important scientific research results in such a short period of time!"

“We have to encourage it!”

"As for the idea that he is still young and will have many opportunities in the future, and that if the old comrade misses this opportunity, it may cause lifelong regret, I don't agree with this idea!"

"In this era, we urgently need to rapidly develop various scientific and technological fields, and we need a leader to emerge among the young people!"

"And Comrade Wang Haoran is such a suitable person!"

As soon as Hua Luogeng finished speaking, another vice president, Qian Shanqiang, immediately spoke up: "I also support awarding Comrade Wang Haoran the Science and Technology Progress Award!"

"At the same time, I also suggest that he should be considered for the election of academic committee members this year."

"We should not always look down on young people. Young people are the hope of the future. We must do our best to cultivate outstanding young people and enable them to become talents as soon as possible!"

The vice presidents expressed their support one after another.

Influential faculty members also expressed their support.

This made Fang Yi feel relieved.

Fang Yi smiled and said, "Okay, then, let's move on to the award judging session..."

After selection, Wang Haoran finally won a science progress award.

This is already quite rare.

Wang Haoran has also set a record: the youngest winner of the National Science and Technology Award!
Previously, the youngest winner of the National Science and Technology Award was in his forties!
The selection results soon reached the ears of Wang Cunxian, who had been paying close attention to this matter.

Wang Cunxian breathed a long sigh of relief.

The Science and Technology Progress Award is a relatively lower-level award.

The highest award should actually be the Science and Technology Invention Award.

In fact, according to the definition of scientific and technological inventions, the agricultural motor tricycle, Type 77 fully automatic rifle, the Shilong, and thermobaric bullets developed by Wang Haoran are all groundbreaking inventions.

Moreover, these are very useful to the country.

Wang Cunxian hurried to see his leader with the results.

After hearing this, the leader laughed and scolded: "Well! I risked my dignity to ask them, and they just gave me a perfunctory response."

"But the Science and Technology Progress Award is not bad either."

"It can be regarded as an explanation to Comrade Haoran!"

"Next, we must hurry up and resume the college entrance examination!"

"We can't delay any longer!"

The issue of resuming the college entrance examination has been discussed for several months and there have been many controversies.

Now, it's time to hold a meeting on resuming the college entrance examination!
……

Yes, it was almost October 1977, and Wang Haoran had been eagerly awaiting the announcement of the resumption of the college entrance examination.

That morning, when Wang Haoran woke up, he opened his eyes and saw Xiao Lijuan standing in a daze with her eyes wide open.
