Chapter 1246 Obligation
Outside Gong Qiao’s office.
Professor Cai was waiting anxiously. He was not a very entitled person, but he was quite enthusiastic about the honors of Peking University.
This is the case for scholars of his age. Because of their top academic achievements, they often participate in the formulation of central policies, which makes them often unwilling to go to local offices even if they have the opportunity. The occasional yearning for power is often met through other channels, and they do not need to focus on high-ranking officials and nobles.
However, those who have been in school for a long time are always obsessed with honors, especially academic honors that have never been received, which is even more so.
This is more like a hobby like a card collection, especially scholars in top universities, who want to take all the honors. When they are old, they live in a remote corner of the school. They go around the yard such as Weiming Lake with their husbands. Occasionally, if a student breaks into his territory, they will talk to him a few words. If they like him, they will teach him two tricks. Seeing these juniors scratching their ears and heads, they are anxious and dare not offend them.
The so-called successor is something engraved in the bones, and cannot be satisfied by simple money and power. Even the most evil politicians always hope that their policies can be continued, their foundation can be immortal forever, and even the dirtiest businessman always hopes that their company can survive and their careers can flourish.
The Nobel Prize is like a towering monument to a university.
If Southwest Associated University is still there, the names of Li Zhengdao and Yang Zhenning alone can bring them a huge number of students.
Today, China has no more honor to boost morale than the Nobel Prize. Especially after the reform and opening up, the Chinese who saw the world open their eyes and need a reason to maintain their precarious confidence. The great powers are so powerful, how should we deal with it?
It is easy to study for the rise of China, but difficult to rise. Faced with the motherland that is in destruction, many scholars sighed and wished to stain the land with blood, just to see a trace of green seedlings to prove that this barren land still has vitality.
Li Siguang first learned ship manufacturing, but China did not use steel to make ships, so he transferred to smelting. However, China did not use iron ore to smelting, so he studied geology... Ordinary people felt pain when studying a major, let alone studying several majors, supporting the young man and supporting this nation, nothing more than passion. What else does the Chinese have besides passion?
The British came and arrived in Guangzhou with the most cutting-edge achievements of the First Industrial Revolution. The dark warships could not shoot arrows and could not climb onto each other. The black dog was useless. Even if they had a passionate heart, what's the use?
The Russians came and sent troops to Yili, and warships were cruising in Tianjin. Even if they were full of passion, what was the use?
The Japanese have also come, and they have been fighting in Korea and destroyed the Beiyang. Even if they have a passion, what's the use?
The Westernization Movement, the Xinhai Revolution, the golden decade, and World War II, the world's powers wrestled each other's brains, and the Chinese finally exchanged their reputation as a victorious country with 30 million erotic passion...
Reading, technology and science have never been able to win, but it is just that the passionate blood has a little value and some meaning.
The Chinese in 1986 stood in front of the largest economic, political and military gathering in human history, trembling. They were not that their blood had cooled down, but that they did not know where to spray their full blood.
Professor Cai and Academician Zhu are old and have nowhere to express their passion.
When striving for Yang Rui's scientific research future, both of them actually took risks, not only academic risks, but also political risks.
For two people who have only been in the exercise for ten years, such risks are not necessary.
But both of them felt obliged.
What does risk have to do? If you have a passion, you can get a Nobel Prize. In fact, why should you exchange Nobel Prizes? In just 1986 years, 23 young researchers in the Beijing area of the Chinese Academy of Sciences died. They did not make for illusory ideals, but just got out of the track in the journey of chasing time.
If possible, Professor Cai and Academician Zhu really want to support Yang Rui all the way to the Nobel Prize.
If China has a native Nobel Prize, scientific research will definitely be taken seriously, the treatment of scientific researchers will definitely be greatly improved, and the Chinese people will definitely be full of confidence in China again...
Professor Cai leaned against the sofa and was distracted by accident.
Academician Zhu held the cup in his hand and closed his eyes to rest.
He wanted to drink water, but was afraid that if he wanted to go to the toilet for a while, he would delay his work, so he held the water cup in his hand and gently rubbed it with his fingertips.
"Academician Zhu, Academician Cai, Mr. Yang, please come in." The secretary of the office walked out gently and called out.
Professor Cai and Academician Zhu stood up all of a sudden, but neither of them walked forward, but looked back at Yang Rui.
Yang Rui's reaction was a little slow. He hesitated for a while before laughing: "You two, please go ahead."
"If you let you go ahead, just go ahead. So much nonsense, hurry up, don't let Gong Qiao wait in a hurry." Professor Cai pulled Yang Rui and asked him to stand in front.
Whoever walks ahead means who is the person who is reporting today.
Yang Rui paused for a moment, walked up to the front with his head raised and his chest out. Now, why are you still afraid of?
There was a vague sound from Gong Qiao's reception room. The three of them waited for a few minutes before they saw the door of the reception room open, and the man with an official looked like a man retreated with his waist in his mouth.
"Three, please." The secretary in charge of guidance stood at the door.
Yang Rui, Academician Zhu and Professor Cai entered one after another.
"Researcher Yang Rui is here." Qiao Gong stood in the middle of the room without sitting down, smiling.
Yang Rui's nervous mood was suddenly diluted, and he responded slightly relaxedly and said hello.
He had met Mr. Qiao several times. If it weren't for this time, he wouldn't have been nervous.
Gong Qiao smiled and nodded, then pressed his hands down, and said, "Sit, sit, I'm tired of sitting just now, I want to stand for a while, just sit down, don't worry about me."
He said, taking two steps back so as not to feel too oppressive when standing.
"Mr. Qiao, this time we want to report to you on Comrade Yang Rui's latest research." Academician Zhu and Mr. Qiao have a closer relationship. They have also done basic communication before. In a few words, they will tell you about the things that happened in the past few days.
Gong Qiao listened quietly, and when Academician Zhu finished speaking, he looked at Yang Rui naturally and smiled: "I didn't expect that our Nobel Prize winner is so young."
"It's still a long way to go from the Nobel Prize." Yang Rui was modest.
"This is indeed a big thing, and I agree in principle." Qiao Gong then raised his head and asked, "What kind of support do you need now."
Academician Zhu looked at Yang Rui and gave him the opportunity.
At this point, Yang Rui also said unscrupulously: "First of all, I hope that the country can show an attitude of actively integrating into the mainstream scientific community in the world."
Gong Qiao didn't expect Yang Rui to make such a request, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "How to show it?"
"I take Japan as an example." Yang Rui said: "The problems that Japan encountered before World War II were actually very similar to what we are facing now. At that time, the Japanese scientific community was not paid attention to by the European and American scientific community. Many achievements were excellent, but they could not be valued by scientists from other countries. In order to reverse this situation, Japan sent a large-scale scientific delegation to visit Sweden and reached a number of agreements. The biggest task of this delegation was to announce to the European and American scientific community that Japan would invest double the scientific funding to support the Japanese in the competition for the Nobel Prize."
Yang Rui looked at Qiao Gong and said, "A delegation, such visits and promises, and with appropriate publicity, is a way to open the Nobel Prize exterior. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Japanese who were outsiders to win the Nobel Prize as a Chinese who were outsiders to win the Nobel Prize."
"It's not that Chinese people have won the Nobel Prize." Academician Liu reminded Yang Rui, and gave him more opportunities to explain.
Yang Rui indeed followed and said: "The primary condition for Chinese or third-world scholars to win the Nobel Prize is to leave their motherland. Foreign scholars who are studying for graduate students, doctoral students, and scholars who have completed their main work abroad are the easiest to win the Nobel Prize, and they are also considered to be people in the circle. But I am not, and most scholars in our country are not."
Gong Qiao said "Oh" and looked at Academician Liu.
Academician Liu thought for a while and said, "This is the situation. If you count it carefully, Yang Zhenning went to the United States for 45 years and Li Zhengdao went to the United States for more than ten years. Ding Zhaozhong is an American-born Chinese, a university in the United States and a professor in the United States."
Professor Cai said: "There are similar situations in other third world countries. Looking forward, Milstein, who won the Nobel Prize in Biology in 1984, was born in Argentina and also studied for undergraduate and doctoral degree in Argentina. However, he later went to Cambridge, England to study for a doctorate and worked in the UK for a long time."
"That is to say, we not only have to go out, but also let foreigners see us." Qiao Gong concluded.
"Yes." Yang Rui was as concise as possible.
Gong Qiao nodded, but said, "Xiao Yang, why didn't you consider studying abroad? That's much easier than coming to find me."
"Some things can be followed by them, and some are not necessary." Yang Rui said and laughed, saying, "I want to go out and take a look, but I also want to go abroad to teach them after I get the grades."
This sentence is a bit ostentatious, but at Yang Rui's age, it does not seem too much.
Gong Qiao looked at Yang Rui who was slightly angry and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I agree."
Chapter completed!
