Chapter 169 Awards
Chapter 169 Awards (Updated)
The box is decorated elegantly and warmly, with soft lighting shining on the dining table.
The middle-aged man with gray hair on the temples sitting in the innermost part was He Jincheng, the old father of He Youwei and He Dangdao. The other middle-aged woman was naturally He Youwei's mother Li Jingwan, whose face was filled with joy and gratitude that was difficult to conceal.
As soon as she saw Jiang Miao coming in, Li Jingwan greeted him enthusiastically: "Professor Jiang, you are our family's great benefactor!"
He Jintang also nodded repeatedly, tears in his eyes. If it weren't for Jiang Miao, the future of his two children would definitely not be as easy as it is now. This made He Jintang, who seldom showed his joy, show his true feelings.
"Professor Jiang, don't just stand there, take a seat quickly."
"Hello, Mr. He, Ms. Li."
After everyone sat down.
Li Jingwan personally poured a glass of soda water for Jiang Miao. She heard from her daughter that Jiang Miao didn't like to drink beverages outside, so she only drank soda water occasionally. She said with a smile on her face: "The child's illness can be cured, all thanks to your careful treatment and patient guidance. Jintang and I have been worried all these years. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do."
He Jintang continued, "Professor Jiang, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. If you need anything in the future, just let me know. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help Professor Jiang.
"Professor Jiang, you're welcome. Try the fish first." Li Jingwan opened the squirrel fish and scooped a large spoonful of fish meat into Jiang Miao's bowl with a spoon.
Jiang Miao smiled and waved his hands: "This is what I should do. I am also very pleased to see Youwei and Dangdao recover. At least I have not let you down."
During the meal, Li Jingwan kept picking up food for Jiang Miao, while He Jintang kept expressing his gratitude.
They also specially prepared an exquisite gift for Jiang Miao.
"Uncle Miao, this is a gift I prepared specially for you." He Dangdao opened the box directly, and found a yellowed document.
There were more than ten pages of manuscripts, with signatures of various meritorious scientists who contributed to the development of the two bombs and one satellite. Obviously, these were the manuscripts left behind by that group of meritorious scientists.
He Jintang smiled and said, "I asked a few friends from the Academy of Sciences to help collect these. Professor Jiang may not need other gifts, so I'm just offering them as a token of my appreciation."
"I like this gift very much. Thank you for your trouble, Mr. He." Jiang Miao accepted the dozen pages of antique manuscripts which were very memorable.
In fact, this was also He Youwei’s suggestion.
She had lived with Jiang Miao for more than half a year and had some understanding of his personality and preferences. Ordinary gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and the like would probably not catch Jiang Miao's eye.
As for other luxury goods, money and assets, with Jiang Miao's current wealth of over 10 billion, they are also not suitable to be given to him as gifts.
After thinking about it, He Youwei remembered that once when she visited Jiang Miao's home, she saw various spacecraft models in the study, and she guessed that Jiang Miao might be interested in outer space.
Although she felt that Jiang Miao was a little strange, as he was a biologist and agronomist, he liked the starry sky and aerospace.
But this did not prevent He Youwei from catering to his preferences.
I ate until I was about 60% full.
Li Jingwan poured Jiang Miao another glass of soda water, and then asked uncertainly: "Professor Jiang, in your opinion, can Youwei and Dangdao get married and have children in the future?"
He Jintang, who was standing aside, also felt nervous and looked at Jiang Miao quietly, waiting for what would happen next.
"From the perspective of eugenics, as carriers of lupus-related genes, they are not suitable for marriage and childbearing, but..."
"But? Is there any other way?" Li Jingwan asked anxiously.
He Youwei was somewhat helpless: "Mom! It doesn't matter if we don't get married and have children."
Jiang Miao didn't have any taboos: "If their partner doesn't carry a genetic disease like lupus, they can give birth to a healthy child through artificial screening of sperm and eggs."
"Screening? Is the technology safe?" Li Jingwan asked quickly.
Jiang Miao explained with a smile: "In fact, it is based on the technology of in vitro fertilization, with the addition of sperm and egg screening. This is more commonly used in dairy cow breeding, and it can also be used on human embryos."
"Dairy cow breeding? Can Professor Jiang perform this operation?" Although Li Jingwan felt that it was a bit disgusting to use the technology of dairy cow breeding on humans, she did not want her two children to live out their lives alone.
He Jintang has some knowledge of cutting-edge technology: "I have heard of the relevant technologies of dairy cow breeding. With Professor Jiang's level, there should be no problem. What's more, the field is still young. In another ten years, maybe the technology will be more mature and safer."
"That's good, that's good." Li Jingwan also put her mind at ease.
He Youwei was speechless because of her mother, but she didn't say anything. Even for her, this kind of technology could be mastered quickly as long as she practiced at the dairy cow breeding base for a period of time.
However, she will definitely not give birth to children herself. It’s not that she doesn’t like children, but because He Youwei is aware of her physical condition. Now she is using special medicine to control her disease, which can indeed allow her to live like an ordinary person.
However, if she became pregnant, the abnormal hormone secretion in her body, coupled with the fact that she could not take any medication casually during pregnancy, might trigger another outbreak of lupus erythematosus. Even though she believed in Jiang Miao's technology and medical skills, she did not want to take the risk.
Her brother, on the other hand, does not have this risk, because he himself does not need to get pregnant. As long as his wife is healthy and the sperm and eggs are well screened, there will basically be no problem.
After getting the answer you wanted.
The atmosphere of the banquet became more relaxed.
As they drank, He Jintang asked curiously, "Professor Jiang, a lot of people in Beijing have been talking about you these days. Your company has contracted over 100 million mu of desert sand and saline-alkali land in the south of the desert. Are you sure you can transform it into farmland?"
"Whether it can be done or not will depend on October this year."
He Jintang didn't think Jiang Miao would do something without a purpose. After all, he was in a hurry to contract hundreds of millions of acres of desert before the results were verified. He didn't believe that Jiang Miao would do such an unsure thing: "Professor Jiang, I see that you seem to be full of confidence!"
"I'm definitely not 100% sure, but I'm 90% sure," Jiang Miao replied modestly.
Hearing this, He Jintang had already roughly understood that Jiang Miao was very confident in transforming the desert into farmland, and it could be said to be a sure thing.
"If Professor Jiang can succeed, he will definitely have a seat in the election of academicians next year," He Jintang said very affirmatively.
After all, this technology can transform hundreds of millions of acres of desert. Judging from Jiang Miao's series of major actions, its transformation cost is definitely acceptable, and this achievement will definitely qualify for selection as an academician.
He Jintang even had no doubt that if Jiang Miao really achieved this result, even if there were people in the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering who opposed Jiang Miao's election as an academician, they would be forced to elect Jiang Miao.
What's more, most of those academicians are smart people and know what can be done and what cannot be done.
Jiang Miao has achieved such great results that they cannot be stopped.
Rather than being a bad guy, it is better to do a favor.
Moreover, Jiang Miao himself is not a weak and powerless person. Currently, there are six academicians in Lion Rock Agricultural University, plus five academicians from Seris Feed Association, which makes a total of 11 people.
These academicians also have other academician friends behind them.
With the achievements of the Senzu Bean series, many academicians would even take the initiative to show their goodwill to him.
this is the truth.
As for the fact that Jiang Miao will only be 29 years old next year and the insufficient number of relevant papers, it will not prevent him from becoming an academician.
Because the strong do not need to adapt to the environment, but the environment will actively adapt to them.
After eating and drinking, He Jintang hurried back to work.
Li Jingwan drove her son home.
He Youwei continued to serve as Jiang Miao's tour guide and took him to visit scenic spots in the capital.
unconsciously.
June 6st arrived quietly.
After two days of eating, drinking and having fun in the capital, Jiang Miao dressed up and arrived at the Great Hall of the Capital early in the morning.
At the entrance of the Great Hall, after showing the invitation letter, the staff enthusiastically took him into the Great Hall.
Soon he was taken to the rest area for winners and scientific researchers.
"Boss Jiang, long time no see."
Hearing this powerful voice, Jiang Miao turned his head and looked behind him, and saw Academician Li, the president of the Feed Association, and next to him were several elderly and middle-aged people with extraordinary demeanor.
Jiang Miao walked over and greeted him with a smile: "Academician Li, how are you?"
"Mr. Jiang, let me introduce you." Academician Li patted one of the younger middle-aged men and said, "This is Academician Jiao, currently the director of the National Feed Engineering Technology Research Center and secretary-general of the National Animal Nutrition Steering Committee." "Hello, Mr. Jiang, I've heard of you for a long time. I have never had the opportunity to communicate with you face to face. I can't miss this opportunity today." Academician Jiao greeted him warmly and shook his hand.
Academician Li smiled and explained: "Academician Jiao's main research direction is animal nutrition and feed science. At present, breakthroughs have been made in protein and amino acid nutrition metabolism, low-protein amino acid balanced diet technology and product development, feed antibiotic replacement core technology and product creation, etc. I'm sure you have something in common."
"I know, I have also read Academician Jiao's papers..." Jiang Miao accurately described the details of Academician Jiao's core papers.
Academician Jiao was delighted to hear this. After all, someone could remember the contents of his papers so clearly, which could only mean that the other person was very familiar with his research work.
It’s a pity that Academician Jiao was a little too self-sentimental.
Jiang Miao did not specifically memorize his paper, but he had the ability to remember everything he read.
"Come on, President Jiang." Academician Li interrupted the two people's discussion and pulled him to another older man: "This is Academician Yin."
"Hello, Academician Yin, I have read your research on the metabolism and regulation of amino acid nutrition in pigs. The technical system for evaluating the digestibility and absorption rate of feed nutrition in pigs that you helped to create has been very inspiring to me..."
"Oh? President Jiang actually knows so much about my research..." Academician Yin also smiled.
Anyone who meets a young man like Jiang Miao who can accurately describe his research results as soon as they meet, and who is such a talented young man, will feel good about him.
With the help of Academician Li.
After the round, Jiang Miao became familiar with 7 academicians and 13 well-known experts and scholars.
Another academician, Li Yu, who is engaged in edible fungus research, pulled Jiang Miao aside and asked, "Mr. Jiang, why didn't your wife come? I want to discuss some issues about edible fungus cultivation technology with her."
"My wife got pregnant some time ago and is currently staying at home to take care of the baby. She can't come this time." Jiang Miao explained with a hint of apology.
Academician Li Yu looked regretful: "That's really a pity. I can only do it next time."
"There is a long way to go, there will be opportunities in the future."
Jiang Miao communicated with the academicians, experts and scholars present for more than an hour.
His solid basic skills and extensive knowledge made it possible for many academicians to chat with Jiang Miao. At least both sides could understand the content of their communication.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
The staff informed everyone to take their seats according to their numbers.
After all the participants were seated, the TV crew also prepared for the relevant work.
Dr. Zhang Shengli, head of the evaluation committee of the Seres National Science and Technology Progress Award, and the TV host came on stage.
At the same time, the recorded video begins to appear on the camera screen.
The host smiled at the camera and said slowly in a rhythmic voice: "Dear leaders, experts, and guests, hello!
Welcome to this special occasion today - the National Science and Technology Progress Award Review Conference. In this solemn and dignified conference hall, we gather together to witness another glorious ceremony in the field of science and technology in my country.
Science and technology are the foundation of a country's prosperity, and innovation is the soul of national progress. In today's era, science and technology are developing at a rapid pace, constantly promoting social progress and the evolution of human civilization. Today, we gather here to commend those outstanding teams and individuals who have climbed to the top of science and technology, continuously innovated, and made outstanding contributions to the country's scientific and technological progress.
Here, every scientific and technological achievement participating in the evaluation embodies the wisdom and sweat of countless scientific researchers. They represent the cutting-edge level of my country's scientific and technological development and demonstrate the innovative spirit and hard-working style of my country's scientific and technological workers.
Our review...
Now, I declare that the National Science and Technology Progress Award Ceremony has officially begun. Dr. Zhang Shengli, Chairman of the Review Committee, will announce the list of winners..."
clap clap clap...
There was applause.
Zhang Shengli took the microphone, nodded slightly to everyone, and then said directly: "The winner of the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award in 25 years is..."
In the audience, Jiang Miao listened to representatives of several winning groups going up to receive their awards, display their achievements, and give acceptance speeches.
Academician Li at the side asked quietly: "Mr. Jiang, have you prepared your speech?"
"It's ready, two servings at least." Jiang Miao replied with a smile.
An hour later, it was finally Jiang Miao's turn.
Zhang Shengli, who was thirsty, continued, "The two groups that won the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award are: Dr. Jiang Miao's team and Lin Shuya's team from Lingnan Hailufeng Company. They have developed artificial breeding technology for Pacific eels and artificial cultivation technology for white truffles, respectively. Please welcome Dr. Jiang Miao to the stage to receive the award."
clap clap clap...
Amidst thousands of applause, Jiang Miao slowly walked up to the podium under the spotlight.
After receiving two certificates from Zhang Shengli, he took the microphone with a smile: "Hello everyone, I am Jiang Miao. I am very honored to be here today to introduce my achievements to you, and of course, my wife's achievements."
Applause broke out again.
The large screen on the podium displayed an introduction and images of artificial breeding technology for eels.
“…This is the artificial breeding technology of eels.”
“…The above is a brief introduction to the artificial cultivation technology of white truffles.”
After Jiang Miao's brief introduction, many industry experts and scholars present had already understood part of the content. As for replicating the technology based on this introduction, it was obviously impossible.
Even if it is really possible to replicate them, they will not do so, because these two technologies have been registered with relevant patents and cannot be replicated and used casually in China.
After introducing the technical success, the next step is to give the acceptance speech.
Jiang Miao spoke again: "First of all, I would like to thank my family for their continued support. I would also like to thank my alma mater and teachers for the knowledge they have taught me..."
The first part of the opening remarks begins with thanks, which is basically the basics.
"After several years of research, I found that humans have their limits. Perhaps traditional scientific research methods have reached their limit. Just as hybrid breeding is increasingly unable to meet the needs of breeding, new technologies such as transgenic technology, cell fusion technology, gene editing technology, genome analysis technology, and metagenomic detection technology have made our breeding work faster and faster."
Jiang Miao paused for a moment, then continued: "However, with the rapid advancement of science and technology, there are also immeasurable risks. In scientific research where opportunities and risks coexist, how to make choices has become a problem we need to face."
The reason why he said this was mainly for some subsequent arrangements.
However, the experts and scholars in the audience were not listening very seriously.
After all, acceptance speeches often follow similar templates.
However, several experts and scholars who had contact with Jiang Miao showed a thoughtful look. They recalled some of the things Jiang Miao had said before. Although they did not say it directly, they had guessed that Jiang Miao and Hailufeng Company might make big moves next.
Of course, Hailufeng Company has made a lot of big moves recently, such as launching a specialty store APP to compete head-on with other e-commerce platforms; and contracting hundreds of millions of acres of desert sand and saline-alkali land in the south of the desert.
All these things show that Hailufeng Company has great ambitions.
“…The 21st century is the starting point of the Anthropocene, an era of new technologies and theories, and also a new era of biology. My company and I will be committed to developing biotechnology to open up a new living space for mankind.”
"thank you all!"
clap clap clap...
Applause rang out again. Jiang Miao handed the microphone to the staff, and then, amid the envious gazes of the audience, he slowly returned to his seat with the certificate in his hand.
In fact, many people were surprised to see Jiang Miao's young face. These people mainly came from other industries, and many of them did not have much direct intersection with Jiang Miao.
After Jiang Miao went on stage to receive the award, many people secretly inquired about Jiang Miao's relevant information.
After some understanding, they seemed to see a rising sun, about to descend into this era.
After all, Jiang Miao is too young, and he has not only a lot of relevant achievements, but also good technical value.
This has made many people active.
