In the great hall.
Everyone was pointing at Zhang Ye.
"What happened?"
"I don't know."
"Why are Mr. Liu and Mr. Han avoiding him?"
"I guess Zhang Ye has offended someone again?"
"Then let's hide further away."
"Right, right, right."
No one dared to come within ten meters of Zhang Ye.
Xin Ya asked in a daze, "How do you know so many scientists?"
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "Can't I have a few friends?"
"Friend?" Xin Ya nearly fainted. "Why are you so thick-skinned?"
Everyone is avoiding you!
They don't even want to talk to you!
You call this a friend?
Zhang Ye waved it off. "I'm going to take a seat."
"Goodbye." Xin Ya also went to the back to find her seat. She was in the 16th row and was quite far from Zhang Ye's seat in the first row.
In the front row.
Zhang Ye found a seat and sat down.
Beside him was a young research fellow from the Chinese Academy of Engineering named Lu Yi. When he saw Zhang Ye, Lu Yi was very respectful and whispered, "Fellow Zhang, long time no see."
Zhang Ye said, "You were nominated too?"
Lv Yi smiled sheepishly. "I'm just a bystander. If the highest award this time isn't vacant, only a few people will have the chance to win it. Everyone knows that."
"Yeah." Saying that, Chi Xue also sat down beside Zhang Ye. "Xiao Lu and I are just here to join in the fun. As for you, you really stand a chance."
Zhang Ye waved it off. "Me? Come on, I've offended everyone in the scientific community. "
Hearing this, Chi Xue and Lv Yi smiled bitterly.
Yeah, who hadn't he offended before? Sometimes, they really admired Zhang Ye's ability to stir up trouble.
Before he was sent to prison, Zhang Ye had only been in the entertainment industry for about three to four years. How many things had happened in the entertainment industry in these three to four years? How much trouble had he caused? Even the most experienced entertainment reporter in the industry probably wouldn't be able to calculate it in a short amount of time. Beating people up, scolding people, stirring up trouble, causing trouble, there were too many to count. After he was imprisoned, he stayed in the science and technology field for three to four years. With his temper, it would be strange if he didn't cause a lot of trouble!
…
Yao Jiancai's house.
"Dad, is the award ceremony today?"
"Yes, the Highest Science and Technology Award."
"My Uncle Zhang has also been nominated."
"It should have started, right?"
"It's a pity that there's no live broadcast. Let's wait and see."
…
Dong Shanshan's house.
Four of his old classmates came.
"Shanshan, is there any news?"
"The award ceremony should be starting soon."
"What's the use of having news? Do you really expect Zhang 'er to go on stage? "
"Yeah, what kind of occasion was that? What kind of award was that? I bet he wouldn't even get a consolation award. That Dale's Conjecture was something that happened four or five years ago."
…
On Weibo …
"A photo has been released."
"It looks like it's about to start."
"Do you guys think that a tech celebrity has a chance of getting on the domestic popularity rankings?"
"Of course there's a chance. The popularity rankings are based on popularity."
"I feel that in the future, there will definitely be a heavyweight tech star. He might even be able to enter the C-list rankings. The current trend is to develop technology."
…
Academy of Engineering.
"I hope the highest award will go to an academician of our Academy of Engineering."
"Among the old academicians of our academy, only Academician Qi and Academician Meng have the greatest hope."
"Yeah, the two old academicians have contributed a lot this year."
"Has it begun?"
"It should start."
…
Chinese Academy of Sciences.
"Fellow Sun has a chance."
"Yeah, I think so too."
"I can only say that there's hope, but there are many variables."
"We'll have to see how the Science Jury chooses."
"In terms of qualifications, results, and academics, it's really not easy to choose."
…
Everyone's attention was on them.
The media bombarded them.
In the conference hall. The leaders entered the venue.
The huge venue immediately quietened down. Applause rang out constantly.
One.
Five.
Ten.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The China Space Agency.
The military commission.
The leaders entered the venue one by one and took their seats.
Soon after, a leader who was in charge of science and technology went onstage. He picked up the microphone and gave a speech. His speech lasted for more than ten minutes before he announced the start of the award ceremony.
The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became heavy.
Xin Ya took a deep breath.
Chi Xue looked at the stage.
Lv Yi also got nervous.
Countless people's eyes turned to the rostrum.
The first science and technology award was announced: the Natural Science Award.
The leader on the rostrum announced, "I hereby announce that the scientists who have won the Natural Science Award are —" He lowered his head and read the list of winners, "Zhang Heng, Li Xicheng, and Yu Lei!"
Applause erupted.
The three of them were either pleasantly surprised or stunned as they stood up. Without exception, the three of them were scientists over 50 years old. The oldest among them was 72 years old. When the oldest, Li Xicheng, heard the news, he couldn't help but tear up. He didn't know how long he had waited for this moment.
The eyes of Li Xicheng's disciples were also red.
"Teacher!"
"Congratulations, Teacher!"
"You've finally won it!"
"This is great! This is great! "
The three of them went onstage to receive the award and gave their acceptance speeches.
Zhang Heng held the microphone. "Thank you, thank you."
The microphone was passed to the next person. Li Xicheng also said, "Thank you for the trust and affirmation of the party and the people."
His speech was very short.
Zhang Ye was a little unused to it. "Why is his acceptance speech so short?"
Chi Xue said in a speechless manner, "Do you think this is the entertainment industry's award ceremony? We've all been doing scientific research all our lives, so how could we be as eloquent as you guys? "
Zhang Ye said, "That's true. It's nice to be concise and concise."
Then the next award was announced.
The leader on the rostrum announced, "The winner of the National Technological Invention Award is —"
Zhang Ye was still looking forward to this award a little.
Will there be me?
Will there be a chance for this bro to go onstage?
The leader said loudly, "Han Cheng, Bai Xiaoyan!"
Zhang Ye smiled to himself. Alright, there's no chance.
Bai Xiaoyan covered her mouth in excitement as tears rolled down her cheeks.
Han Cheng was also stunned in disbelief. He couldn't react for a long time until a colleague from the research institute beside him congratulated him in surprise. Only then did he snap out of it and rush onstage.
The awards came one after another.
Finally, there were the categorized awards.
The electrical one.
The medical one.
The engineering one.
And so on.
…
In the back row.
Xin Ya was already chatting with the people next to her.
"Fellow Meng has won the Science and Technology Progress Award."
"That means he won't be getting the highest award."
"Yeah, I also thought that Fellow Meng had a very good chance of winning."
"Elder Qi has also won the engineering award. That should be considered a consolation prize, right?"
"Several of the popular old fellows have been eliminated early?"
"How could that be?"
"Then who will the National Science and Technology Award go to?"
"There are still a few old fellows who have a chance of winning it."
Xin Ya and the others analyzed for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer.
…
In the front row.
Lv Yi took a deep breath. "It's the last award!"
Chi Xue also held her breath. "We're here!"
Zhang Ye looked up at the stage. "It might still be empty."
The next moment, they saw that the leader who had announced the award on the podium had already walked down the podium with a smile. Then, a figure stood up gently and walked up slowly with a smile.
Some people in the surroundings were already gasping softly.
"It's the chairman!"
"The chairman is presenting the awards?"
"That means that the highest award won't be vacant this year!"
"Who are you giving it to?"
"Who is it?"
The chairman stepped onto the stage and picked up the microphone.
The audience was silent. Everyone's eyes were wide open.
The chairman flipped open the list of winners and spoke word by word slowly and steadily. He smiled and said, "Next, I would like to announce that the winner of the Highest Science and Technology Award is …" He paused for a moment and read aloud, "Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering —"
The ground below had already exploded.
Everyone whispered to each other.
"Engineering Academy?"
"He's from the Chinese Academy of Engineering!"
"Who is from the Chinese Academy of Engineering?"
"Academician Liu?"
Following that, the chairman read again, "Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences —"
Everyone was stunned.
Xin Ya was also stunned.
"Academician of the Academy of Engineering? Academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences? "
"F * ck!"
"Two academicians?"
"There aren't that many Two Academicians!"
"Yeah, the number of Two Academicians who are still alive in the country can be counted on one hand!"
"Who is it?"
Everyone looked up at the stage in surprise.
The chairman looked at the audience and read out a name that no one could believe!
"— Zhang Ye!"
