It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

Lv Yongchang stretched out his fingers and lightly brushed the big gilt characters on the letter paper, his heart trembled slightly.

The letter paper, as thin as a cicada's wing, seemed to have an inexplicable weight at this moment, pressing deeply on his heart.

Since the founding of Xia Kingdom, not many people have won this level of award.

In a sense, this is actually similar to the so-called lifetime achievement award.

Therefore, this award is generally awarded to older researchers.

It is undoubtedly a great trust and encouragement for the chairman of the congress to award the award to him, a young man who is only 21 years old!

Fang Xu on the side stared eagerly at the letter in Lu Yongchang's hand, and swallowed slightly.

"Yongchang, you are sitting at the top of Xia Kingdom's academic world!"

Lu Yongchang chuckled, folded the letter paper in his hand and put it in his pocket.

"What are you talking about? It's just a nomination. I don't know if I won an award!"

Fang Xu pouted, but did not reply.

In his opinion, unless the judges' brains are kicked by donkeys, this award will definitely belong to Lu Yongchang.

As for the so-called shortlist and award conference... it's just a process.

……

a week later.

Sandaokou University.

Office of the Dean of the School of Nuclear Physics.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

Hearing the hasty knock on the door, Jiang Yongxing subconsciously looked up at the clock on the desk.

10:18am.

He frowned slightly.

"Who is it?" Jiang Yongxing put down the pen in his hand and asked loudly towards the door.

"I!"

"Tian Zhixuan!"

Hearing the loud voice outside the door, Jiang Yongxing couldn't help being stunned, then stood up and walked quickly to the door and opened the door.

"Old Tian? You're not staying in your material school, what are you doing here?"

Looking at Tian Zhixuan's excited face outside the door, Jiang Yongxing frowned even deeper: "What? Have you made any new breakthroughs?"

Tian Zhixuan's expression froze, and his eyes suddenly became strange.

"You do not know?"

Jiang Yongxing frowned and shook his head.

"Hey! You let me in first, and I'll talk to you slowly!" Tian Zhixuan waved his hands carelessly, and walked towards Jiang Yongxing's office with his legs open, "By the way, there is a TV in your office, right?"

Jiang Yongxing nodded slightly, turned sideways to let open the door of the office, and welcomed Tian Zhixuan in.

"Old Tian, ​​what's the matter?"

Seeing the old god Tian Zhixuan sitting on the sofa, Jiang Yongxing's eyes became more and more suspicious.

Tian Zhixuan didn't speak, but reached out and turned on the TV beside him, and tuned it to Xiaguo News Channel.

Looking at the golden and red hall on the TV screen, Jiang Yongxing couldn't help but froze in place.

He frowned and glanced at the date, his eyes showed a bit of surprise, but then, this sudden look was covered up by heavier doubts.

"I remember correctly, this should be the National Science and Technology Awards Conference?"

"What? You came today to show me this?"

Jiang Yongxing returned to his seat angrily: "I don't remember anyone from your School of Materials winning any awards!"

Tian Zhixuan's eyes became more and more strange.

He turned his head to look at Jiang Yongxing, and asked softly, "I said Old Jiang, have you really not heard the news?"

Jiang Yongxing's eyes became more confused and puzzled: "What news?"

"This kid Lu Yongchang has been nominated for the highest national science and technology award!"

Jiang Yongxing's pupils shrank slightly, he stood up suddenly from the chair, and put his hands on the desk in front of him: "What?!"

"What are you saying is true?!"

Tian Zhixuan didn't say any nonsense, but pouted at the TV: "If you don't believe me, don't you know it by watching TV yourself?"

As soon as the words fell, Xia Guoguo's singing came from the TV.

The meeting has begun.

Jiang Yongxing's eyes moved, and he stared at the TV in front of him.

"Since ancient times, energy has been the greatest obstacle limiting human progress."

"From the Age of Steam to the Age of Electricity."

"From burning coal to generating electricity from wind and hydro."

"We think about energy all the time."

"..."

Hearing this series of award speeches, Jiang Yongxing's eyes flashed in a trance.

"Stable." Tian Zhixuan's voice came from the side, "This highest science and technology award belongs to Lu Yongchang!"

The next moment, the voice from the TV came.

"...The following is the winner of the highest national science and technology award, Professor Lv Yongchang!"

With the sound of music and applause, the TV screen cut to Lu Yongchang.

Looking at the slightly youthful face in the picture, Jiang Yongxing and Tian Zhixuan fell silent.

After a long time, Jiang Yongxing sighed: "There are talented people from generation to generation, and each has been in the limelight for hundreds of years!"

……

Standing on the awards platform, Lu Yongchang couldn't help but feel a little dazed looking at the various eyes of the audience.

Even with his experience, the moment he heard his name, his heart couldn't help but twitch violently.

After all, as a scientific researcher of the Xia Kingdom, the symbolic meaning of this award is extremely huge!

Just when he was a little dazed, the figure of the chairman of the congress appeared on the side of the awarding platform.

Councilor Li walked slowly onto the stage, and handed the medal and certificate to Lv Yongchang solemnly.

"keep it up!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Mr. Li's mouth: "I'm waiting for the scene you described to me!"

While talking, Councilor Li reached out and patted Lu Yongchang on the shoulder lightly.

Lu Yongchang was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the chairman of the council was talking about the Heavenly Court Project.

He nodded vigorously, with a flash of determination in his eyes: "Chairman, don't worry, Xia Guo will never perish!"

"Crack!"

The flash went off and the scene was permanently recorded by a nearby camera.

Chapter 118 Pathfinder Calls Houston, Discovers UFOs

Mars orbit.

A black "cuboid brick" quietly passed by in the Mars synchronous orbit.

"Call the ground command center, Xuannv-[-] has reached Mars synchronous orbit, please give instructions!"

Bai Yixuan's voice was transformed into an electromagnetic wave, which was transmitted to the earth 8200 million kilometers away.

"Okay, now it's time to wait for the reply." Bai Yixuan shrugged and said helplessly, "We have a full 9 minutes of rest time now."

Before Bai Yixuan finished speaking, Hong Fan who was beside him had already unbuckled his seat belt first and stood up from his chair.

"This space suit is really well designed!"

Hong Fan walked in the cabin on special electromagnetic boots.

Under the action of the magnetic force, Hong Fan's body was firmly attracted to the floor of the cabin.

Although there is no gravity in outer space, the carefully calculated magnetic force can simulate the feeling of walking on the earth just right.

Xia Wanyi at the side touched the silver-white space suit on her body that was several times lighter than before, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

"you do not say!"

"I heard from the ground crew that this suit is made of the latest materials developed by Professor Lu, and the cost is almost three times that of the original!"

Hong Fan was speechless to himself.

Triple the cost!

Just as he was about to say something, there was a sudden burst of strong electric current on the radio.

"Che...chi..."

"The ground command center received it and started to execute the mission!"

Lu Yongchang's slightly distorted voice came to everyone's ears.

Bai Yixuan looked slightly solemn, turned around and sat back in the chair, fastened the seat belt, grabbed the fully enclosed helmet that was set aside, and put it on his head.

"Everyone, get ready, we're about to land!"

After the two companions fastened their seat belts and put on their helmets, Bai Yixuan pressed a few buttons on the console and pulled the joystick.

The flying posture of Xuannv No. [-] was slightly adjusted, and it plunged into the crimson sparks!

……

"Andrew, help me see, how many places do we still have to drill?"

Bruno's listless voice echoed in cabin one.

Andrew, who was sitting on the chair, straightened up with difficulty, tapped the keyboard in front of him a few times, and glanced at the computer screen casually.

"Ok?"

Andrew's spirit was lifted suddenly: "Everyone, good news! We are only short of the last place where we have not carried out the drilling mission!"

As soon as the words fell, two teammates got up from their chairs and jumped to his side.

Bruno's eyes were full of hope, and he asked eagerly.

"Where?"

"Is it far away?!"

Andrew tapped the keyboard again.

The image on the computer screen turns into a satellite map.

The moment he saw the map, Andrew fell into silence.

He pondered for a moment, then said with a troubled face: "The distance is not far, but... we may need to climb a mountain."

"???" Bruno looked blank, "WTF? Mountain climbing?"

Joey on the side also looked confused: "Andrew, are you sure?"

Facing his teammates' doubts, Andrew sighed deeply, and then zoomed in on the satellite map a bit.

The whole picture of the crater was presented in front of the three of them.

"The crater is about 1000 meters away from us, not very far."

"It's just that the height of the crater is about 1000 meters."

"The bottom of the pit is about 500 meters deep."
