When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Chapter 308: Fate

On December 2013, , an announcement was released on the official website of Tangdu Jiaotong University.

The content of the announcement was very simple and many people did not pay attention to it.

This announcement is about the public announcement of the 2014 National Science and Technology Award projects approved by Tangdu Jiaotong University through Qin Province.

That is, the National Science and Technology Awards, the selection actually started a year ago.

However, Wang Donglai’s name does not appear at all in this announcement.

However, Wang Donglai's name appeared on the final list of winners.

In the eyes of people who don't know the inside story, such a situation undoubtedly raises the suspicion of using a backdoor.

However, before this news spread on a large scale, it was immediately met with almost harsh rebuttal.

The official account of Tangdu Jiaotong University personally came out to refute the rumors and clear Wang Donglai's name.

Not only that, many official media in Qin Province also forwarded Tangdu Jiaotong University’s rumor-refuting information at the same time.

This doubt was completely suppressed before it could even cause any waves.

Wang Donglai naturally knew this situation.

However, Wang Donglai only thought about this situation and knew what was going on.

This award is usually given to last year's technology, so there will be some lag.

Moreover, Wang Donglai did not apply for this award.

Most likely, the school registered him, but his name was not on the list when it was announced.

Then, Zheng Hua took a step forward and recommended Wang Donglai's artificial intelligence medical assisted diagnosis system again in the name of the education authority, which led to Wang Donglai's second prize.

It can be imagined that Zheng Hua definitely paid a lot in this.

After thinking it through, Wang Donglai's mood didn't change much.

He always remembered the support from Zheng Hua, Xu Songyao and Tang Du from Jiaotong University.

There is no need to use anything fancy to show your attitude.

On the plane, the professors from Tangdu Jiaotong University who were traveling to Beijing together were all extremely excited, without any of their usual demeanor in the classroom.

This is not surprising, it is an honor to receive this award.

Unlike previous years, some winning projects had already lagged far behind the market when the awards were presented, giving people a sense of disharmony.

This time, the project that won the special prize was the research and development and application of ultra-deepwater semi-submersible drilling platforms, and the recommending unit was China National Offshore Oil Corporation.

It is not surprising that this technology was selected as the special prize.

After all, oil resources are still very important. Offshore oil exploitation is extremely troublesome, and once a breakthrough is achieved, it will be of extraordinary significance.

The first prize below the special prize includes my country's first effective prevention and control of the influenza A (H1N1) pandemic and integrated innovative research, key technologies for the construction and operation of my country's oil and gas strategic channels, key technologies and applications of high-end fault-tolerant computer systems, innovative development and application of 600℃ ultra-supercritical thermal power unit steel pipes, a set of digital automatic dyeing technologies and equipment for cheese yarn, key technologies and equipment for high-height fully mechanized mining of ultra-thick coal seams, core technology system creation and industrialization of secondary development of traditional Chinese medicines, design, manufacture and maintenance of important pressure vessels under extreme conditions, evolution mechanism of water cycle in river basins and efficient utilization of water resources, efficient exploration and key technologies of Yuanba ultra-deep bio-reef gas field, key technology innovation and application of modern prestressed concrete structure, evaluation and prevention of earthquake geological disasters in Shu, research and development and industrial application of efficient chemical viscosity reduction technology for ultra-deep wells and ultra-heavy oil, State Grid smart grid innovation project and other high-tech technologies.

The second prize is for some specific technical project breakthroughs.

It can be said that there is no problem with the selection.

Although Wang Donglai's artificial intelligence medical auxiliary diagnosis system has broad prospects, its current performance is far from the level of the first prize.

Wang Donglai would naturally not be affected by this.

After all, he is probably the only one in the world who knows how the future will change.

Through these studies and technologies, Wang Donglai also made up for the omissions of his previous life.

Many people do not pay attention to the development of science and technology, not only because the threshold of science and technology is too high, but also because it is indeed boring.

But when some shocking "black technology" appears, people will exclaim at the country's development.

They have no idea that those so-called technological breakthroughs had actually been researched long before and involved investments of manpower and resources.

Another point is that a technological breakthrough does not necessarily mean that it can be directly applied to the whole society and become known to everyone.

The diffusion and penetration of technology takes time, just like lithium-sulfur batteries. If Galaxy Technology does not cooperate with BYD and CATL, and relies solely on its own strength to rebuild factories, open up the supply chain, train qualified workers, and optimize process flow, it will take at least two to three years.

Not to mention the sales problem after production.

Therefore, many technologies may be completed in the laboratory, but their actual application may lag behind by one or two years.

In addition, there is another reason, that is, people's attention span is limited.

Many people do not have the energy or interest to pay attention to many technological breakthroughs.

Just like some of the technologies that won the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award this time, for example, the innovation and application of key technologies for efficient litchi production, the cultivation and application of new varieties of high-yield, high-quality and high-efficiency poplar industrial resource materials, the creation and application of Yuzong No. 5 and Golden Group corn germplasm, the creation of excellent disease-resistant watermelon germplasm and the selection and promotion of the Jingxin series of new varieties, the establishment and application of Daheng broiler breeding and breeding technology system, and so on.

Just by looking at the names, you can know what the research directions and contents of these technologies are.

It's either for eating or for use.

These technological breakthroughs are of great significance to society and the Chinese people, but the attention they have attracted is not high.

……

After arriving in the capital.

Wang Donglai and his group were properly accommodated.

Every science and technology awards conference has thousands of participants.

It is no exaggeration to say that these scholars and professors who came to Beijing are the backbone, or even the pillars, of the domestic academic and scientific communities.

If something goes wrong with these people, the consequences can be imagined.

Therefore, the country has arranged extremely strict security measures for these precious scientific researchers and professors.

With an exaggerated arrangement, everyone is protected.

After Wang Donglai and others arrived in Beijing, it was naturally impossible for them to be locked up in a room or a hotel. Security is not house arrest.

Every science and technology awards conference is an academic event in the country.

After all, the scholars and professors who can come here are elites in their respective fields. When a group of elites meet together, they naturally want to communicate and verify with each other.

This is also one of the purposes of the Science and Technology Awards Conference.

Wang Donglai had just packed up when Academician Huang from the Chinese Mathematical Society found him and said that he was going to take Wang Donglai to meet someone.

China has a population of nearly 1.4 billion, making it an absolutely populous country.

In a person's lifetime, the number of people they can meet is only a few thousand.

That’s pretty much what classmates, fellow villagers, colleagues, friends, and relatives are.

There is a saying that the social class of a person's friends is a testament to his own social class. This is a rough saying but true!
A farmer’s social circle revolves around the countryside, while a worker’s social circle revolves around the factory.

The social circle of an academician must at least include a professor.

"By the way, I haven't congratulated you in person yet. At the age of 21, you won the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award. That's incredible!"

"I thought before that your name would be mentioned sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon!"

"What I didn't expect was that the project you were selected for this time was an artificial intelligence-assisted medical diagnosis system."

After Huang Yun introduced Wang Donglai to everyone, he congratulated Wang Donglai.

Hearing Huang Yun's words, Wang Donglai smiled and replied: "Academician Huang, you are too polite. I didn't expect that!"

"This time, since many people are here, why don't you come with me and get to know them. This will be good for your future development."

"You have also won major awards such as the Fields Medal and the Abel Prize. In terms of international awards, you are definitely the first person."

"However, the awards you received in China are seriously inconsistent with your academic status internationally. This is partly related to the fact that you know too few people."

"General domestic awards are fine, but since you were able to win the National Science and Technology Progress Award, it proves that the higher-ups have noticed you. So now you just need to go around with me, and I'll introduce you to some academicians in the academic world, which will also be beneficial to your future development."

"How about it?"

Huang Yun tried to persuade Wang Dongali earnestly.

Because Huang Yun had already seen through Wang Donglai's thoughts, he didn't want to go.

"Academician Huang, thank you very much for your kindness, but I am not good at speaking, I am stubborn, and I am not used to bending over for no reason, so I will not go."

Wang Donglai naturally knew Huang Yun’s good intentions, but he was not prepared to do so.

Indeed, among the domestic awards, he only won the Chern Shiing-Shen Mathematics Award and the Sir Stephen Shaw Mathematics Award, and other than that, nothing else.

It is a huge joke that a mathematical genius who has won the three major awards in the international mathematics community and proved many of the world's most difficult mathematical problems failed in many domestic competitions.

There is also a very high-sounding excuse for these awards to the outside world, which is that Wang Donglai did not sign up to participate.

However, everyone knows the real situation.

The value of these awards is not high enough, so Wang Donglai doesn’t care much about them.

So when he heard Huang Yun say this, he chose to refuse without hesitation and firmly.

Seeing Wang Donglai's determined expression, Huang Yun was silent for a moment before he spoke up: "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. You have achieved such results at such a young age. In fact, you should know that many people will be dissatisfied with you without my reminder."

"Generally speaking, it won't have any impact on you, but some things may not be the case."

"In theory, any university professor in China who wins the Fields Medal or the Abel Prize will most likely be selected as an academician."

"But if it were you, it would probably be a little difficult."

By saying this, Huang Yun was definitely risking everything.

Moreover, he really has high hopes for Wang Donglai and has good intentions towards him, otherwise he would never have said such words.

Wang Donglai also understood this, so he smiled and said, "Academician Huang, I have also read "Ode to Fate."

“People often say that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, but this is actually a misunderstanding of the meaning of this saying.”

"If you take it into context, it means exactly the opposite."

After he finished speaking, Wang Donglai began to recite, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be blown away by the wind; a pile that stands out on the bank will be washed away by the current; a person who is superior to others will be criticized by the crowd. The person in front is not far away, and the chariot will overturn and follow the track. However, the men of ambition and benevolence still follow it without regret, and hold on to it without losing it. Why? They want to achieve their ambitions and gain fame. In order to achieve their ambitions, they brave the wind and waves on the dangerous road; in order to gain fame, they endure slander and criticism at the time. The reason why they do it is probably calculated. Zixia said: "Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven." Therefore, when the Tao is about to be implemented and destiny is about to be honored, Yi Yin and Lu Shang rose to prominence in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and Baili Zifang was useful in the Qin and Han dynasties. They did not seek but obtained it, and did not seek but met it. When the Tao is about to be abolished and destiny is about to be despised, is it only the gentlemen who are ashamed of it and do not do it? They also know that they will not get it if they try."

"Compared to other things, I believe in my own abilities more!"

Huang Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.

How could he not understand what Wang Donglai meant? It was because he understood that he smiled bitterly.

young!

This was Huang Yun’s first thought, and his second thought was childish and naive.

There are so many talented and capable people in the world, but not every talented and capable person gets what they deserve.

Tu Aoao's academic achievements cannot be said to be low, but he does not have the status of an academician.

Although this title doesn't mean anything to her, it means nothing, and some people can use this to disgust her and hold her back.

There are many such things.

Huang Yun naturally understood it very clearly.

It is precisely because of his understanding, coupled with his liking for Wang Donglai and his appreciation for his talent, that Huang Yun does this.

As a result, his good intentions were rejected by Wang Donglai.

Huang Yun couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

"Dongla, I thought you were a smart person, but why are you so clueless about this?"

"I can't possibly harm you, and it won't do me any good. I hope you become as powerful as possible, that's what's good for me."

"What I said came from my heart and was truly for your own good."

"The awards ceremony hasn't started yet. There's still time. Think about it carefully. If you figure it out, feel free to come find me."

"I can't say much, but when you're around 30, it shouldn't be a big problem to have another academician title on your head."

"It depends on what you think. I'll wait for your good news."

Huang Yun said all this in one breath and prepared to leave without waiting for Wang Donglai to answer.

However, at this time.

A well-dressed young man in casual clothes and an elegant secretary came to the outside of Wang Donglai's room.

"Professor Wang, a leader wants to see you, please follow me!"

Huang Yun's expression suddenly became serious. He glanced at the two of them and then looked away.

There wouldn't be any fake staff here, so Huang Yun wasn't worried.

At this moment, his heart was already like a cat's claws, and he was very curious.

What kind of leader would want to see Wang Donglai, and what is the purpose of seeing him?

While Huang Yun was thinking, Wang Donglai also came out and said to the secretary: "Okay, please lead the way."

Huang Yun watched Wang Donglai leave for a long time before he reacted. He asked himself doubtfully, "Did I really underestimate him?"
