The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 900 Academician Preliminary Election

The combat capabilities of heavy armed helicopters, medium armed helicopters and light armed helicopters are just like those of heavy fighters and medium fighters. There is a gap. The combat effectiveness of a heavy armed helicopter is equivalent to that of two medium armed helicopters.

Both the United States and the Polar Bear are developing heavy armed helicopters, after all, they are big countries; while the small and medium-sized countries in Europe are developing medium-sized armed helicopters, after all, their national strength is limited.

China is so large and the situation is so complicated. It needs both military and civilian uses, so naturally it needs to cover all kinds of helicopters. Heavy helicopters, medium helicopters, and light helicopters are all needed, and each has its own use.

In the military field, it ranges from material transportation to personnel transportation, battlefield deployment, reconnaissance and infiltration behind enemy lines, to fast-moving flying tanks, communications, rescue, battlefield surveillance, and so on.

In the civilian sector, it can be used for sightseeing, fire rescue, maritime first aid, drug detection, fire fighting, commercial transportation, medical assistance, communications, spraying pesticides and insecticides to eliminate pests, detecting resources, etc.

Different application scenarios naturally require different helicopters.

At night, Liu Tao took his secretary on his special "laser engraving" helicopter. Liu Tao personally drove the helicopter, left Guifei Group and returned to Panshan Group headquarters.

After arriving at the Panshan Group headquarters, the helicopter landed steadily on the helipad.

At the end of February, on the eve of the two sessions.

Beijing, Siheyuan.

Liu Tao took the preliminary list of academicians and checked them out one by one.

There are two preliminary lists, one is the preliminary list of academicians of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and the other is the preliminary list of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

According to the process of academician selection, after the list is recommended, the standing committee of each academic department organizes the academicians to review and elect the candidates.

The review must adhere to standards, follow the principles of fairness and objectivity, and conduct a comprehensive and scientific evaluation of the candidates.

If there are no major violations of laws and disciplines, academic misconduct, or work style issues, there will basically be no problems in the review process. After the review, there will be a secret ballot. As long as the candidate receives no less than two-thirds of the votes, he or she can be elected in order according to the number of votes in the department until the quota is reached.

The election results are checked and confirmed by the standing committees of each academic department, which is the so-called review. After being reviewed and approved by the standing leadership body of the General Assembly, they are notified to all academicians in writing.

Liu Tao is both an academician of the Huazhong Academy of Sciences and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. As an academician of both academies, and one with very rich qualifications and great say, he needs to take a look at these two preliminary lists of academicians.

A few years ago, Liu Tao began to promote reforms on the selection and requirements for academicians of the two academies.

In terms of selection, it is naturally a strict selection, and the implicit rules regarding qualifications will be further weakened. As long as one has the ability and no problems, one can be elected as an academician even if he is young. On the contrary, if one does not have the ability, one cannot be elected as an academician even if he is senior enough.

Furthermore, we should downplay the aspect of academic qualifications. After all, academic qualifications do not represent everything. Even if one has only a junior high school diploma, if one has made significant achievements and has the required level of ability, one can still become an academician.

As an academician, everything is based on ability and real knowledge is emphasized, which is a respect for science.

As for the original group of academicians who were critical, although their academician titles were not revoked, they were all called in for talks.

Another requirement is that academicians should not make remarks that are not related to their fields.

Liu Tao read it once and had an idea in his mind.

There are two main sources of recommendation for academicians: one is from university professors, and the other is from scientific research institutions.

These recommended people are actually of mixed quality. Some of them do not have the ability to achieve the goal, but they are relatively qualified and have disciples all over the country.

There are also some whose level is not up to the level of academician, but they are already among the best in China. This is like looking for a tall person among short people. The thirteen academicians recommended by Panshan Group are all on the list, and the seven academicians recommended by Southwest Associated University are also on the list. Zhang Chaoyang's name is very dazzling among them.

Liu Tao checked the information, including some departments' evaluations of the person.

With his authority, he can access the information of all scientific researchers across the country.

The country started to establish statistical archives ten years ago.

For example, Zhang Chaoyang even had things recorded clearly about his kindergarten days, and there may even be many things that Zhang Chaoyang himself doesn’t even remember.

There is a special department that is responsible for establishing archives, but very few people know about it.

Liu Tao looked at the list and even found that some people on the list were recorded for academic misconduct, but they appeared on the preliminary list.

Liu Tao marked them one by one.

With just this information, a large number of people can be eliminated.

Of course, he did not believe all of them, but asked the relevant departments to investigate again the people he marked.

Especially those who engage in academic misconduct are simply black sheep and should be expelled from the team, rather than letting a bad apple spoil the whole bunch.

Who could have imagined that at this time there would be a tutor who would take credit for his students' achievements, and it wasn't just once or twice that happened.

The rapid improvement in the treatment and benefits of academicians has made everyone scramble to become an academician. After all, this is the highest academic title in the country's science and technology, generally a lifelong honor. Academicians are also regarded as the country's wealth, the people's pride, and the nation's glory. In addition to enjoying high treatment, academicians also have great convenience in applying for project funds.

It can be said that as long as you become an academician, you will gain both fame and fortune.

But precisely because of the sacredness of academicians, the selection of academicians should be strict, those who should be elected as academicians should be elected as academicians, and those who should not be elected as academicians should not be elected as academicians for various reasons.

"We have a long way to go!" Liu Tao shook his head. This was the list that had passed the first round of review by various departments, and the result was still the same.

He could also understand that every time the year of electing new academicians came, the most troublesome thing was the standing committee of each department.

In this world, we are always inseparable from human relationships and worldly wisdom. The scientific research community is no exception and is also full of human relationships and worldly wisdom.

Five years ago, Liu Tao began to take the lead and no longer participated in the selection of academicians when he was over 70 years old. After all, there were continuous elections in the previous seven or eight years, and those who should be elected should be elected. If they are not elected, it is a problem of ability.

But up to now, there are still two people on this list who turned 70 this year, which is a borderline case, and six of them changed their ages privately.

But you have to know that when it comes to Liu Tao, he can tell clearly when the age was changed just by looking at it.

He just couldn't believe it. The information of each department was almost the same, but it still passed the first round of selection.

This time, Liu Tao saw a familiar name on the list. This lady was very famous, but had always been controversial.

The achievement of artemisinin is great enough, but unfortunately the world is always burdened by fame and fortune, and this has not changed over the years.
