Shangjing, the second ring, a quaint study.

At the desk of the red log, an old man sat there and was reading the letters in his hand.

Although he didn't understand anything on the letter, his assistant had already helped him mark the key points. I can still understand the paragraphs that are too professional and leave them alone. If you only focus on them, he can still understand them.

Just then, footsteps came from outside the corridor, and the door of the office creaked softly.

The old man put down the letter in his hand and said, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and an old man in formal wear walked in and said with respect.

"Elder, are you looking for me?"

"I have no idea what I want, I want to consult you," Wu Lao, who was walking into the door, said the old man sitting behind the desk and said slowly, "About the young man, do you think it is a first prize? Second prize is good?"

Although the old man did not say the name of the person, he did not say what the first prize was, but Wu Lao immediately guessed who the old man said.

After hesitating for a moment, Wu Lao said.

“I don’t think it’s appropriate for the first prize or the second prize. It’s more appropriate than the National Natural Science Award or the National Science and Technology Progress Award.”

Although the National Science Progress Award is one of the top five awards in the country, it is slightly lower than the National Natural Science Award.

To make an inappropriate metaphor is probably similar to the difference between the city's three good students and the district's three good students.

Did not answer this question, the old man thought for a moment, as if talking to himself.

"In the 1980s, Mr. Chen won the first prize of the National Natural Science for his research on Goldbach's conjecture. According to this truth, he should be worthy of this glory."

As if to guess that the old man would say this, Wu Laoxin smiled and persuaded.

"The situation in the 1980s is different from the present. At that time, the domestic academic circles were far behind the world. At that time, the Goldbach conjecture was not only the Goldbach conjecture, but it was a banner. But now it is different, brother. Debach's conjecture is just a Goldbach conjecture. It is just a mathematical proposition."

The old man smiled and said: "What about lithium-sulfur batteries? This is finally a realistic result."

According to the plan made in the original White Paper on New Energy Development Strategy, it is necessary to increase the capacity of the battery to 300-350 wh/kg in 2020, and at the same time achieve the cost target of 1 yuan/ wh.

Now, with the continuous breakthrough of lithium battery related technology, the battery capacity in the market has been turned over several times than expected, and this goal has undoubtedly been overfulfilled.

As a solution to the "lithium dendrite problem" and the technical problems of lithium-sulfur battery cathode materials, in the strategic layout of the entire new energy development in China, the research results of that young man can no doubt be recorded.

For this young man who is capable and daring to be the first person, how does the old man think and how he likes it.

Probably guessed the attitude of the elders, Wu Lao, who is the head of the Ministry of Science and Technology, could not help but make a difficult time.

In fact, because of reason, he also believes that Lu Zhou deserves this honor.

However, the awards issued by state agencies are different from those issued by academic institutions. What needs to be considered is not only academic problems, but also the actual situation, especially the response of others.

After a moment of silence, Wu Lao changed his euphemistic point and spoke and said.

"You will now give this honor to him. What should I do if he has achieved greater success? Is it honored to give him the highest scientific and technological award?"

The old man smiled unconsciously. "If he really has this ability, why not?"

Wu Lao sighed softly: "The winners of the National Science and Technology Awards are over 80 years old. If they are awarded to a young person, I am afraid it is difficult to serve the people..."

Hesitated, he continued.

"And, Mu Xiu Yu Lin, the wind will destroy it. For him, this is not necessarily a good thing."

Not necessarily a good thing.

This time the old man did not speak, as if he thought of what it was like, and nodded thoughtfully.

After about a minute of silence, the old man said.

"You are busy with your first move. I will consider this matter again."

Director Wu sighed and nodded: "Yes."

After that, he turned and walked to the door.

However, just as he had just arrived at the door, the voice of the old man came from behind.

"Wait."

After stopping at the door, Director Wu looked back and respectfully said: "Is there anything else?"

The old man picked up a letter from his desk and the index finger pushed it out.

"I have a letter here, you take it back and ponder."

Director Wu immediately took the letter paper and opened it and looked up.

Then he squatted slightly.

I saw it on the letter and wrote a line of headlines.

"On the Application of Computational Science in Frontier Research Fields and the Trend of Future Disciplinary Development"

......

At this moment, Lu Zhou, who was far away from Germany, did not know that the letter he sent to Jinling University was sent up one by one, and finally who was handed over to him.

Compared with political matters, pure science is more interested in him.

After returning from the embassy, ​​he and Professor Cui Qing went to Greifswald in the eastern German city.

This small town with a population of less than 70,000 is almost exclusively for the University of Greifswald, quietly situated on the corner of the Baltic coast. To be an inappropriate metaphor, here is like the German version of Princeton, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, very suitable for reading and pension.

However, the destination of Professor Lu Zhou and Klee Qing’s trip is not the Greifswald University, but the Spiral Stone 7-x Institute located in the suburbs of the small town.

After entering the institute, Professor Cui Qing came to a laboratory with Lu Zhou, found the person in charge here, and introduced him to him.

"This is what I told you, Professor Ralph Kreiber. He has been working here for ten years, probably one of the oldest researchers and engineers here."

"Yes, I watched this little guy grow up, including its father," took off the hard hat and clipped it under his arm. Professor Kreiber, who had a slap in the face, grinned and extended to Lu Zhou. Right hand, "Welcome! Professor from Princeton University, I am very happy that you are interested in this great project."

Speaking of the imitation of the star, there is still a lot of relationship with Princeton University. Although Germany is the leader in this technology today, the concept was first proposed by Professor lyman Spitzer of the Princeton University physicist.

However, this idea was considered too advanced at the time, and it could not be achieved anyway, from the perspective of materials science or engineering.

It was not until more than a decade later that the prototype of the first imitation star was born. However, until fifty years later, the imitation star is just a prototype. From the complete realization of the idealized blueprint, there are still many 50 years to go.

Holding his hand and shaking, Lu Zhou smiled badly and said modestly.

"I am just a mathematics professor. I don't have any research on nuclear fusion. I am mainly here to satisfy my personal curiosity. I am afraid I can't help you."

"Haha, what's the relationship? In my opinion, Princeton's mathematics professor is more remarkable than the physics professor," Professor Kreb laughed and unscrupulously said that he was a Nobel Prize winner in physics. The physicist is very rude.

There was no opportunity for Professor Cleace to rebut, and after less than half a second, he put the helmet on his head again.

"It's the time for you to come. There is just an experimental arrangement today. Come with me, I will take you to see our little ones."

After all, he recruited and waved and walked outside the door.
