In the lecture hall of the Black Bamboo Academy.
Looking at the students sitting below with bright eyes, Ren Baqian felt a sense of satisfaction. These young people were the future of this world and the fruits of his hard work over the years.
There were aboriginals, Jing Tribe, and people from the Yun Nation. As time went on, the number of people in these two areas increased.
Ren Baqian stood on the stage with a smile and spoke in a heavy voice.
"Knowledge is power!
The fist is only the power of the physical body, but it can't move the world, while knowledge can!
"Armor can arm your body, but knowledge can arm your mind. The power of the physical body is only a narrow range, but the mind allows you to get close to the truth of the world through your knowledge, thereby becoming stronger and having a wider range of power …
"The power of the physical body brings destruction and ruins, while the power of knowledge brings prosperity and civilization, creation, and value …
"Look at the capital today, look at this city, and think about the places you used to live and go. All of this is brought about by knowledge.
Trains, cars, airplanes, electric lights, telephones, and projections — these are the values created by knowledge!
The essence of knowledge is the changes we bring to this world when we understand the various phenomena of this world and search for the essence of the world …
"The Academy Award was created to reward those students who have made contributions in academia and realized their value in creation. You have brought a better side to this world! "
After finishing his speech and listening to the applause of the students below, Ren Baqian paused for a moment before continuing, "The Academy Award will be held annually in the future to reward those who have made outstanding contributions …
"Now, the award for the best industrial design of the year, 'Research on the Control Method of an Aeroengine Based on the Lyapunov Function,' by Shi Yu!"
Tong Lan and Shi Gan's expressions changed slightly as they looked at a girl in the same row. They didn't expect her to be the first winner of the Academy Award.
A delicate and pretty girl in her twenties looked at Ren Baqian in surprise and couldn't react for a moment.
"Don't just stand there. Go up!" Xu Peng poked her shoulder from behind.
"You will forever be remembered in the history of the Black Bamboo Academy, and your photo will be hung in the Hall of Fame!" Ren Baqian smiled. "The academy is proud of you!"
After Shi Yu recovered from his shock, he ran up to the stage and heard those words. His eyes reddened and he almost cried.
As a commoner student, he had gone from being illiterate to being the only commoner student in the Bachelor's class. He had gone through a lot of hardships, hardships, and temptations.
The other commoner students had long since joined the workforce, and many of them had even become sixth or fifth rank officials in the Ministry of Works. They had long since improved their family situation.
She was the only one who persisted and devoted herself to endless study and research.
Many times, she had thought of leaving the academy and working in various departments. Her family situation would be much better. It was just that she preferred the atmosphere in the academy and the process of constantly learning new knowledge.
This sudden award made her feel that everything she had done before was worth it.
He then picked up a box from the side and opened it to reveal a bottle.
This was fifty crystals.
The students below immediately revealed looks of envy, and the applause became even more intense.
These days, the news of Origin Crystals had already spread out.
Or rather, it could be said that under Ren Baqian's push, the news spread to everyone through the newspapers and other news channels.
No one could ignore the value of Origin Crystals.
It could increase the speed of cultivation. Just this alone was enough to make countless people go crazy.
This was especially true for people who weren't aboriginals.
Before reaching the Cardinal Heaven level, Origin Crystals were valuable to the aboriginals, but food with sufficient energy was more valuable.
However, for the warriors of the Jing Tribe and the Yun Nation, Origin Crystals could be absorbed into the body and transformed into essence qi along with the blood essence, speeding up the speed of cultivation.
For the warriors who had reached the Earth Embryo Realm and began to interact with the outside world, this speed was greatly accelerated. It could even help increase the chances of breaking through the Path to Heaven.
For the spirit and Cardinal Heaven level warriors, Origin Crystals were even more useful.
Under such circumstances, how could the world not go crazy?
However, Origin Crystals were currently only in the hands of a few people. Only the court officials who had reached the Cardinal Heaven level had a small amount of them.
In the outside world, the price of Origin Crystals had already skyrocketed. Even Level Five Origin Crystals were the same.
A Level Five Origin Crystal was equivalent to 100 taels of gold.
These fifty Origin Crystals were equivalent to 5,000 taels of gold and 50,000 taels of silver.
Coupled with entering the academy's Hall of Fame, as long as one's name was recorded in history, how could the students not be envious?
"Thank you, thank you!" Shi Yu choked with sobs.
"You deserve it!" Ren Baqian smiled.
The reason why this award was held in such a high-profile manner was partly to commend the students, but most importantly, it was to stimulate the enthusiasm of the students.
As for whether Shi Yu would get into trouble for possessing these Origin Crystals, Ren Baqian believed that no one in the capital would dare to target the students of the academy.
As for whether Shi Yu would sell them … This was for sure because these Origin Crystals weren't very valuable to her. Shi Yu's talent could only be considered average. Besides, it would be better for the aboriginals to exchange the Origin Crystals for Earth level beast meat. Furthermore, her family's situation would also improve.
After all, Shi Yu came from an ordinary family and wasn't well-off.
In addition, Ren Baqian wanted to inflate the price of the Origin Crystals so that he could release the remaining few thousand Origin Crystals.
Shi Yu was just the beginning …
"Next is the Best Scientific and Technological Progress Award of the Year — [Some Expansion of the Hydrodynamic Equation Around the Flow Problem], Aerodynamic Research Group!"
This time, it was a group of four people who were one year younger than Tong Lan and the others.
The four of them smiled very brightly. Although the Origin Crystals were very valuable to them, it was far less meaningful than the recognition of their research.
After the four of them left, two more awards were handed out, and it was time for the highlight.
"Next is the Most Valuable Award of the Year — Giant Automatic Circulation Control Calculator, Electric Machinery Group's Ancient Crystal, Ancient Water, and Xiong An!"
Ren Baqian announced loudly with a smile on his face.
That's right, this was the biggest surprise he had recently received.
The so-called Giant Automatic Circulation Control Calculator could actually be called a relay calculator!
This was a real computer, the prototype of a modern computer.
Although the researchers had done research on this and made much faster progress than the students, the researchers were all scientists that Ren Baqian had abducted from various countries, and computers had long been integrated into their lives.
They had sufficient understanding and cognition of computers, so Ren Baqian placed the most important part in the research institute.
However, the students of the academy were different. They didn't know much about computers and didn't even have a concept of them.
It was just that a few of the students wanted to solve the large amount of data involved in their studies and research. As a result, they wanted to design a device that allowed them to be lazy.
Although the Giant Calculator had a very slow speed of operation, only being able to perform addition and subtraction four times in one second and multiplication and division every ten seconds, it could be said to be very primitive and slow. However, this couldn't hide the brilliance of wisdom that it was full of.
From a certain perspective, lazy people could change the world!
First, set a small goal, such as one second. Remember: Scholar House
