Chapter 829: Soaring Award Presentation (Part 1)

On November 1, 1900 AD, a grand awards ceremony was held in the Tai Chi Hall of the Imperial Palace. And this awards ceremony is also the day when the Royal Chinese government presents the Soaring Award. And this take-off award has mixed reputation in China. Some traditional literati believe that those who specialize in the development of "unique skills and obscene skills" should not be rewarded so much. And the next list made everyone almost blown away, because according to the announced list, there are generally 20 places in five disciplines among multiple disciplines. And the scientific and technological development contribution award is not permanent, so the number of places is not fixed, and it will only be available when it needs time. Therefore, the permanent quotas for science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, physiology, agriculture, etc. each have five individual quotas. Of course, this single item is the same as the Nobel Prize, and it does not stipulate that only one person can get it and can cooperate. He focuses on results, and does not specifically select those individual people for research and development.

However, when the list was announced, it caused a lot of heated discussions. Because in this list, there are actually fifteen foreign devils, and even in one aspect of physiology, there is actually one spot for the Japanese. This made everyone feel very uncomfortable, because this bonus made everyone jealous. This bonus is almost 20 years of salary income of university professors all over the world. And no matter which country the university professors are in, those with high urban incomes are definitely middle-class or even upper-class people. For those at the bottom of society, that is money that they will never be able to earn in their entire life.

But Wang Guorui gave so much money to so many foreign devils, and even a Japanese, which made many people feel dissatisfied. However, Wang Guorui still went his own way, decided to fight against all opinions, and absolutely gave all the bonuses that should be given. After all, Wang Guorui is deeply aware of the core of the Nobel Prize's authority in later generations. Although the Nobel Prize can't say that there is absolutely no shady, it is at least one of the awards with the least shady. If the Nobel Prize does not have enough fairness and credibility, no matter how high the prize money is, even if the selection criteria are strict, it will not be recognized by everyone.

The selection must first have credibility and fair selection criteria. If it's not fair enough, then even if you get more bonuses. Those real scientists will not be proud of winning awards, but will be ashamed of winning awards. So of course Wang Guorui cannot destroy his credibility for this. Although China's science is still in the development stage, there will be bread and milk in the future. But once the reputation is lost. That's hard to get back. So what is changed is still given.

"The awards ceremony begins!"

The awarding ceremony of the Take-off Award has begun, and the first to be awarded is the science course. For science courses, Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands will replace Wang Guorui to present the award, because these Europeans may not accept the award from the Chinese emperor Wang Guorui, so Wang Guorui asked Wilhelmina to present the award.

"Ma'am. This is a bonus for you and your wife. I hope you can make more contributions to the development of human science in the future!" Wang Guorui took the initiative to hand the trophy and medal to Wilhelmina, and then Wilhelmina gave it to Er a couple.

However, as the emperor, Wang Guorui was obviously more interested in the wife of that couple. Of course, this interest is not an interest in the general sense. Of course, if this woman hadn't been married and even had a daughter, then maybe Wang Guorui would have poached her as well. Because this woman is also the famous Madame Curie in history. Almost no Chinese does not know Madame Curie, Madame Curie Jedi is a scientific giant in human history. Even Wang Guorui, an otaku, knew it, after all, it was mentioned in elementary school textbooks. Even in recognized history, she is the only person who has won the Nobel Prize twice in different specialties. As for the claim that Tesla rejected the Nobel Prize more than a dozen times, there is no real evidence for this. Although many people have rumors, there is no evidence. The law pays attention to evidence, and it cannot be confirmed through some rumors. So even if there is a legend that he refuses to accept the Nobel Prize, Wang Guorui will not believe this statement until there is no real evidence. Maybe he would have been interested in this gossip back then, but now that he is the emperor, he pays more attention to evidence. If there is no evidence, you can't doubt people more casually.

Regardless of whether Tesla refused to accept the Nobel Prize eleven times in history, at least until valid evidence appeared, Wang Guorui would never believe it in public. Anyway, history is too foggy, and no one dares to say that he absolutely understands history. Only those who have experienced it can know. Therefore, the greatest scientist at present can only be Mrs. Distance, because she has solid evidence.

Wang Guorui saw this Madame Curie who was only thirty-three years old. Although she was not a top-notch beauty, she was still a royal sister. Therefore, Wang Guorui also regretted it a little. If he had traveled a few years earlier, he might have been able to poach corners.

Wang Guorui then said to the scientist Curie: "Mr. Curie, you married a good wife. If you were not married, I might have poached you. Maybe you will be remembered by future generations because of your wife! "

When that Curie heard this, he almost spit out old blood. Is this Wang Guorui praising him or scolding him? A man has to rely on his wife to be remembered by future generations, what the **** is this! But what Wang Guorui said is not bad, if it is not recorded in later generations that Mrs. Curie followed her husband's surname as Curie, I am afraid that this soy sauce man would not be remembered by history! So what if he won a Nobel Prize? He is not a great scientific man like Einstein, and there is only one reason why he can be remembered, that is, his wife has won two Nobel Prizes. If it wasn't for that woman being called Madame Curie, then he wouldn't even be qualified to play soy sauce in history.

"Madam, I heard that you have a daughter, are you interested in marrying my son?" Wang Guorui asked suddenly.

After hearing this, Mrs. Curie felt like ten thousand muddy horses passing by. Why is this emperor so unreliable? What did you say in front of your husband that if you would have come to poach the wall a few years earlier? Now he still wants his daughter to marry his son, is it to make up for his unfulfilled wish?

"Hmm!" Wilhelmina couldn't bear it anymore, and finally coughed twice on purpose. If things go on like this, maybe this awards ceremony will become an engagement meeting.

And Wang Guorui knew that the Curie family had won five Nobel Prizes, not only the Curies and his wife had won three times in total, but their daughter and son-in-law had also won one time, which counted as two people. So Wang Guorui couldn't help but want to poach their eldest daughter in advance, one by one! What's more, if her son can marry Madame Curie's daughter, won't she have to help her in the future?

"Okay, Your Majesty, can we talk about this kind of thing later?" Mrs. Curie couldn't help but replied.

"Okay, let's continue with the awards!"

Soon, Wang Guorui continued to present awards to those foreign scientists, and then these foreign scientists came here because they valued the prize money behind these awards and China, who took advantage of them. The bonus is huge, and there are many benefits behind it, so this is the reason why these scientists are willing to accept the award. If not, they would not bother to come to receive this Chinese science award. However, the reason why Wang Guorui gave them so many benefits was not simply to win over these scientists. Wang Guorui aimed at those middle-level scientists.

If science is regarded as an industrial chain, then any industrial chain has high-end, middle-end and low-end. High-end talents are precious and scarce, but if there are no low-end and mid-end talents at the bottom, it will not be able to maintain the entire industry. Just like a country, there can't be only the emperor and the prime minister, right? That also requires many layers of bureaucratic systems, so the same is true for science. Without low-end, there will be no high-end. Wang Guorui pays more attention to those middle-level people who come to China for development, which is very important for consolidating China's scientific foundation. If middle-level scientists have the opportunity to go one step further, they can become top-level, and if they take the next step, they can also cultivate many low-level scientific and technological talents ~lightnovelpub.net~ This is an advantage of the middle level. It can be used up or down, both aspects can be used, and the middle level is the most important level to maintain the entire technology system.

Wang Guorui intends to dig out the middle class of foreign countries, and then create a talent gap in the scientific system of the foreign devils, and then use these middle-level scientists to cultivate his own vast number of low-level scientists. Given China's population advantage, in another dozen years, there will be countless low-end scientists who will become middle-level, and finally a few lucky ones will be able to reach the top. Although science relies on geniuses, it requires a certain base of practitioners to produce geniuses.

No industry can be supported by one or two geniuses. Genius can only be used as a catalyst, absolutely not as a foundation. No matter how the catalyst is, it cannot replace the foundation that it should have, and the foundation cannot be ignored just because of the emphasis on genius. Only a sufficient foundation can continuously produce geniuses. Wang Guorui's strategy in the future will also be to take the initiative to dig out those middle-level foreign scientists.

Why is it that countries around the world are not crazy about the "organization" behind Wang Guorui even though they are afraid? That's because all countries have also inferred that the organization behind Wang Guorui may only be composed of a small number of geniuses, rather than having too much strength. Even geniuses are not comparable to European countries that have the entire industrial chain. So foreign devils are not too scared! (To be continued.)
