Chapter 398: A Tree Makes a Forest

"The third recipient is—"

"Lu Zhou!"

The voice of the spokesperson announcing the list of winners was still echoing in Academician Lu's ears, and the cigarette butt that had fallen into the ashtray from just now had been extinguished for a long time.

The award ceremony continues.

On the TV, the scene of the award ceremony has already arrived.

Walking up to the awarding platform in order, Lu Zhou, who was wearing formal attire, took the bright red certificate from an old man with a dignified face.

After staring at the TV screen for a while, Academician Lu sighed softly.

"...The leadership team of this year is a bit courageous."

Also staring at the TV, looking at the bright red certificate on the screen, Academician Xu was happy for this great talent who had graduated from Jinling University, but suddenly he became a little worried about gain and loss.

"You say, is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"It's a good thing!" Lighting a cigarette again, Academician Lu laughed, "This is the first prize in natural science, how could it not be a good thing? I want to exchange the title of this academician with that kid."

There are often academicians, but scientific breakthroughs that can affect the world are rare, and scientific achievements that can be widely recognized are even rarer.

Just like the tens of thousands of theoretical physicists and engineers working at CERN, everyone is playing a pivotal role, and everyone's work is essential, but there are only a few Nobel Prizes born in the end .

Academician Lu felt that he had made a lot of achievements in most of his life, but it was really not up to the standard to select one outstanding achievement for the first prize of natural science.

In contrast, it is still the highest national science and technology award, and this kind of lifetime achievement award is more suitable for me.

Of course, the so-called "exchange" is just a joke.

Naturally, this kind of thing cannot be changed casually.

Seeing that Academician Lu would have misunderstood what he meant, Academician Xu shook his head and continued.

"What I mean is that if you get this award too early, you will inevitably be missed. He is still young, and it may not be a good thing to face these things too early."

Academician Xu's concern is not unreasonable, because there is no precedent for this kind of thing in the academic world.

Although Jinling University is a strong C9 school, due to various reasons, its influence in the domestic academic circle is not top-notch, and there is not much support that can be given to him.

"The things you said are unavoidable. Maybe he won't be envied if he doesn't have the first prize in natural science? How many Craford Scholars and Nobel Scholars are there in China? As far as he is now With all these achievements, I would feel strange if no one should think of him as a person!"

Speaking of this, Academician Lu smiled, looked out of the window through the misty smoke, and continued slowly, "But even if it's jealousy, what effect does it have on him?"

The moment he heard these words, Academician Xu was slightly stunned.

After a while, a smile appeared on his face.

"makes sense."

If the tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it;

Academia itself is advancing amidst debates, and where there are debates, sharp contradictions will inevitably arise. Some people can tolerate a person with outstanding ability, but others cannot, especially in academia, these are unavoidable.

It is precisely because of this that the more outstanding a person is, the more he should learn the golden mean.

However, this rule only applies to ordinary capable people.

If the ability is enough to rise to the height of a great man, and the achievement is enough to rise to the height of history, one tree becomes a forest, one person is all, so why care about any jealousy or criticism?

If he thinks so, his worry is really unnecessary...

...

At the same time, an exclamation of excitement resounded in the Jinling Institute of Computational Materials not far from next door.

"Amazing! First Prize in Natural Science!"

Liu Bo's exclamation attracted the attention of other researchers in the office, and many of them stopped their work and surrounded them.

When they saw the awarding screen on the screen, they were not much less surprised than Liu Bo, and they also let out small voices of surprise.

"This is...our boss?"

"I don't want to say anything, I just want to say that God Lu is awesome..."

"The first prize in natural science! We don't have many in Jinling University, do we?"

"How many more of these do you want? If you can get it once, you are already very strong, okay! The last time I remember it was in 2006, when Academician Min from our Academy of Sciences won this award, and he was awarded the award the following year. academician!"

"Then do you think our boss can be an academician?"

"This... I don't know. It seems that the evaluation of academicians really requires domestic work experience, and I heard that the competition is fierce. But if Lu Shen is interested, it shouldn't be difficult..."

Compared with Liu Bo, it was not much better. Qian Zhongming, who had been staring at the screen, had a rather surprised expression on his face.

"This... is already the highest honor in the country."

At the top, there is only the highest science and technology award.

However, the highest science and technology award, although it bears the word "highest", is after all a lifetime achievement. This also determines that the object of its reward is not outstanding achievements, but individuals with significant and continuous contributions.

If you are under the age, you really don't have the qualifications for the selection.

In terms of gold content, this highest award is really not comparable to the first prize of natural science.

To make an inappropriate metaphor, it can be understood that the former is more respected, while the latter has higher academic evaluation.

It can be said that at Lu Zhou's current age, the first prize in natural science is already the highest honor that can be bestowed on him in China!

Qian Zhongming is not the only one who knows this.

And at this moment, Lu Zhou is standing on the podium.

When sitting in the audience, even when he heard his name, he still maintained his usual calmness and composure.

But standing here, receiving the baptism of the audience's eyes, Lu Zhou suddenly felt that even the time seemed to be stretched at this moment.

When he took the heavy red book from the old man, he even vaguely heard his own heartbeat.

After receiving the certificate, Lu Zhou shook hands with the majestic old man.

Just when he let go of his hand, the old man standing opposite him suddenly smiled.

"Nervous?"

Lu Zhou nodded and answered honestly.

"is a bit."

"Young people, it's good to bear more pressure. Pressure is motivation. Everyone came here like this!" Patting Lu Zhou on the shoulder, the old man nodded approvingly, "Come on, I'm optimistic about you!"

Lu Zhou said cautiously, "Thank you."

Perhaps because he really admired his talent, the old man said a few more words to him when presenting the award to him.

Lu Zhou could also clearly feel that just because he said a few more words, the people standing next to him looked at him differently.

envious?

Seems like a little bit.

Pay attention to?

There also seems to be.

Eager?

can not say it clearly……

Sensing everyone's gaze, Lu Zhou suddenly felt that the big red book inlaid with gold letters in his hand was a bit heavier.

Part of it is naturally due to gravity.

But more, it also comes from responsibility.
