Great Country Academician

White room, in an office.

The length of the immigrant ju is facing a certain president with a cool hairstyle.

"If you want to take any measures, now should be the best opportunity. According to our information, this Professor Xu should choose the same route as when he came, from the Baltic Sea to Tsarist Russia by ferry, and then return to China by train. "

"This is a talent, perhaps comparable to that of the last century. Moreover, he is older. If he can also show terrifying talent in the application field, we may miss a good opportunity."

In the office, the middle-aged Chief Ju was expressing his opinions.

On the opposite side, the president with a cool haircut flipped through the documents in his hand without even raising his eyelids.

After a while, he raised his head: "This is not a very good idea. Today's Huaguo is not what it was 20 years ago."

"If the opponent is in the United States, it doesn't matter if we make some small moves. But if we make a move internationally, this will break the unspoken rules and prompt the opponent to retaliate. Especially if the opponent is capable."

"And the situation is more complicated now. He went back through Tsarist Russia. In that country, it is even more difficult for us to do anything. Once those two countries are united, it will not be easy for us."

"What's more, taking action against an internationally renowned scholar is not a good thing for the scientific or political circles. If the other party has this ability and is worthy of our action, it doesn't matter, but at present He didn't show it."

"Let's increase the price and see if we can win the other party over."

"Didn't he just win the Nobel Prize? Invite the other party to come here to hold a report or give a speech. If he comes, then we have the final say."

"By the way, isn't there a reward for the seven major problems at the Pere Institute? He seems to have solved one before? Let's use that as a reason to invite him over."

On the opposite side, the boss of the immigrant ju nodded. Although he had some different opinions, since the boss has already made a decision, let's implement it first.

Just, I hope there is no problem with this decision~

Sweden, Stockholm ferry port, Xu Chuan boarded the ship again.

The coastline was gradually receding, and the cold sea breeze was blowing on his face. He looked at the bustling city behind him, and felt a little emotional in his heart.

If there is no accident, he probably won't come again for a long, long time.

The cruise ship was sailing in the Baltic Sea, looking at the blue ocean, Xu Chuan looked up at the sky.

Only civilizations that yearn for the sky have sufficient development potential. This is his speech at the Nobel Lecture. It is not only a reminder that governments should set their sights on the universe, but also a warning to himself.

Looking at the sky, a thought suddenly appeared in Xu Chuan's mind.

"What is the future of mathematics, physics, or science and human beings?"

For the vast majority of people, this is probably a question of whether the sun will go out tomorrow, whether the earth will stop spinning, and so on.

But for people like Xu Chuan who have already stood at the top of the pyramid of science, this problem is within reach.

As the saying goes, in his position, seek his job.

No matter what position a person stands in, he will naturally think about the corresponding things.

Looking forward to the past, looking at the hundreds of years of modern science development, in fact, there are only a very small group of people who really stimulate the development of science and promote the progress of science.

Fields of physics such as Newton, Einstein, Maxwell, Planck, Bohr.

Mathematics such as Archimedes, Euler, Gauss, Newton, Riemann, Galois

It can be said that in every field, it is almost all a small group of people who promote its great strides forward.

And the vast majority of ordinary scientists can at most do some corner repair work, and some don't even have the ability to repair corners.

This is a very cruel fact.

In fact, not only science, but most fields are like this.

Just like the top Paris fashion week, it almost decides the popular color of each year, red is popular this year, yellow is popular next year, and gray is popular the year after.

The aesthetics of the general public has always been manipulated.

However, in the field of science, the problem is a little more serious.

This is a field that relies on 'wisdom' and 'knowledge'.

For scholars like him who have already stood at the pinnacle of civilization mind, sometimes a single thought may take civilization a big step forward, but it may also pull civilization into the abyss.

For example, the mass-energy equation, although its original purpose is to explain the mass loss in nuclear reactions and calculate the energy of particles in high-energy physics; but it also promotes the emergence of nuclear weapons, which destroy civilization.

With the number of nuclear weapons in the hands of various countries today, once there is a third world war, there is no doubt that it is unknown whether civilization can still exist.

Xu Chuan hardly thought about this problem before. In his last life, he was more obsessed with breakthroughs in certain extreme fields than he is now.

And after returning to the peak in this life, he seems to have a more delicate mind than before.

Of course, he has a strong desire to take a look at the distant universe and star sea.

Especially after this year's International Mathematical Conference, after further excavation of the extended application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem, he saw a glimmer of hope.

"Isn't this going to the port of Tallinn when we came?"

On the ship, Xu Chuan looked at the different scenery of the coastline and asked Zheng Hai beside him curiously.

Zheng Hai nodded and said: "Yes, because we received some news, the route back has been re-adjusted. We will go back to St. Petersburg instead of Tallinn. It will be safer to go back directly through Tsarist Russia instead of Estonia. .”

According to the information they received, the country on the west coast seemed to be planning to attack them. Although it was eventually rejected by the cool-haired president, the protection team chose to modify the escort route for safety reasons.

Although the motherland and Estonia maintain a relatively friendly and stable relationship, to be honest, Estonia is too weak and a member of NATO, and has little resistance to the demands of the United States.

But it is relatively safe in Tsarist Russia.

There are no permanent allies, only permanent interests. Compared with Estonia, the neighboring countries in the north need the help and support of Hua Guo.

As long as the interest relationship is not broken, they are still willing to help a little.

More importantly, this neighboring country has sufficient military strength.

These days, there is nothing like thousands of mushroom eggs in an arsenal.

Hearing Zheng Hai's answer, Xu Chuan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

It is enough to go back smoothly, anyway, these people hiding in the tourists escorting him are impossible to harm him.

In this regard, he has enough confidence.

After sailing in the Baltic Sea for several days, when Xu Chuan was getting tired of being bored, St. Petersburg finally appeared before his eyes.

The rest is to return to the motherland by the familiar train.

The sound of bang bang bang bang lasted for several days. When the K3 train crossed the border and entered Inner Mongolia, when the monument appeared in front of the eyes, whether it was Xu Chuan, Zheng Hai, or other people in the carriage , they all breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts were also relieved.

That small stele seems to have a reassuring magic power.

After returning to his motherland, Xu Chuan originally wanted to go directly to Nantah University.

But when he got out of the station, he was held back by Qin Anguo who came to greet him. He thought that the head of the science and technology department had something to do with him, and he didn't react until the other party said a few words.

"National Science and Technology Awards Conference!"

Hearing these words, Xu Chuan suddenly understood what it was.

After returning from Sweden, it is already mid-December. According to the usual practice, every December or January is the time to hold the National Science and Technology Awards Conference.

If the Nobel Prize is the highest honor in the world, then the various science awards awarded at the National Science and Technology Award Conference are the highest honor that a researcher or scholar can receive in China.

To win this laurel crown, you need to go through a lot of screening.

Including candidates, they are not applied by themselves, but recommended by others like the Nobel Prize.

And in order to ensure the fairness of this award, the National Highest Science and Technology Award Review Committee implements the ballot method, and each review member must be responsible for his own vote.

For the evaluation of an award, it needs to be passed by a majority of more than two-thirds of the committee members to be considered valid.

Xu Chuan knew about this award, but he never got it.

When he was eligible to enter the selection in his previous life, he was already locked up in the United States.

As for this life, he really hadn't thought about it before.

On the one hand, he doesn't really care much about awards and honors in various aspects, after all, he basically got what he should have won in his previous life.

On the other hand, several awards at the National Science and Technology Awards Conference, like the Nobel Prize, have the nature of lifelong honors.

Just like the Nobel Prize, although it does not stipulate the age of the winners, it tends to favor older winners.

After all, if this kind of honor is awarded to a young scholar, there will be no award for him to achieve greater achievements in the future.

Of course, the Nobel Prize can be awarded again, while the National Science and Technology Award can only be awarded once.

This is a very embarrassing thing.

But then again, he has won both the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize, and it would be unreasonable not to award him the National Science Award.

In this way, Xu Chuan stayed temporarily.

The National Science and Technology Award Conference started on December 25th this year, and now it is December 18th, and there is still a week to go.

Xu Chuan didn't waste this time.

Although he can't go back to Jinling, he can let people from the Institute of Nuclear Energy and Chuanhai Materials Institute come over.

After receiving his call, Han Jin and Fan Pengyue hurried over with some materials.

In fact, there is nothing related to research and development. When he left to receive the award, both projects had entered the stage of initial research and finalization.

What Xu Chuan wants to see is just the test report on the research and development materials of the two projects at the end.

Of course, there are some patent applications.

This also cannot be forgotten.

Especially for the material industry, it does not mean that if you develop a new material, this material will definitely be yours.

The application of material patents is a very important matter, and there are not many bloody incidents on patents in the material industry every year.

All kinds of disputes between professors and students, and contract disputes between bosses and experimental R\u0026D personnel are very common in the materials industry.

Without him, a good new material, the value is too great.

There are millions and tens of millions at every turn, even hundreds of millions and billions. In the face of such interests, it is normal for friendship promises to be torn up.

In the room of the Beihai Hotel, Xu Chuan was flipping through the materials sent by the two project leaders.

Whether it is the test structure of 'crystalline erbium zirconate material' and 'lead-free nanocomposite reconstitution protective material' in the Institute of Nuclear Energy, or the test structure of 'electrolyte' and 'artificial SEI film' in the Chuanhai Material Research Institute from the report The materials are all pretty good.

These materials can already be regarded as the results of the first stage.

In terms of patents, applications for electrolytes and artificial SEI films are already underway.

As for the "Crystalline Erbium Zirconate Material" and "Lead-Free Nanocomposite Reconstructive Protective Material" of the Institute of Nuclear Energy, domestic patents are granted casually, and foreign patents, whether to apply for them depends on the above meaning.

After all, the uses of these two materials are somewhat sensitive. In fact, many things in the field of nuclear energy will not be made public.

After all, if you apply for a patent, even if you dare not disclose all of it, you will disclose some technical solutions, beneficial effects and the like.

And these things often have the opportunity to bring some inspiration to hostile countries or competitors, prompting the other party to develop similar things.

Of course, there are still many advantages to applying for a patent.

According to the international patent law, as long as it is a patent that has been applied for, it is protected.

For example, common medicines, like Glenin in the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine", are actually protected internationally.

The development and production of patented drugs are restricted by the protection of intellectual property rights and cannot be imitated.

If you want to produce the drug, you must purchase the production rights from the patent owner, or wait until the patent expires.

This kind of international agreement is still guaranteed in most countries. Except for a small number of countries, such as the third brother, the patent protection of medicines is a joke to them.

For Xu Chuan, if the patent rights of the electrolyte solution and the artificial SEI film come down, by virtue of these two achievements, he can earn several billion dollars a year just from the authorization.

For him, this money can probably realize the freedom of wealth in the early stage of scientific research career.

As for the middle and late stages, then come to find a way.

Nothing costs more money than scientific research.

Billions of dollars are not enough to build a supercomputing center, nor is it enough to build a large and powerful particle collider
