Back To The Age Of The '80s

"Nothing can be less physics, this thing is not authentic."

"Old Sun, what are you talking about, what can't be less than physics? Oh, your physics is more noble than other subjects?"

"Old Lu, the point now is not this!"

"That's it! Tell me clearly."

The meeting atmosphere in the 80s was much more casual than that of later generations, and the kind of quarreling in the middle of a meeting in Western society is also common in Huaguo now.

Seeing that the situation in the arena became more and more uncontrollable, Li Zheng coughed dryly.

The microphones and speakers in the Great Hall of the People were imported from abroad, and the sound effect was very good. Li Zheng's coughing sound reached everyone's ears, and everyone at the scene subconsciously looked towards the rostrum.

"About this physics award, the physics selection team said that it has issued invitations to the winners. The winner of the physics award is a respected senior who has dedicated his life to scientific research and is selfless. When he learned that he had won the award, He immediately told the selection team that he voluntarily gave up this award in order to inspire young people to fight for the cause of science."

"After intense discussions, the group decided that the Huaqing Prize for Physics will be retained, and at the same time, 200 million yuan of the award will be donated to the Research Foundation for young scholars to apply for funding for scientific research projects."

When Li Zheng heard the news, he was also taken aback. At the same time, he lamented the selfless spirit of scientific workers in this era. In this era of material scarcity, he saw too many shining things.

Professor Chen...

Li Zheng's words caused a burst of discussion in the audience.

"Guess who? It's amazing."

"Yeah, if it were me, with a research funding of 200 million, it would be impossible for me not to be tempted."

"Old Chen, why is your complexion a bit wrong?"

Old Chen twitched the corners of his mouth, trying to make himself smile, "I'm getting older and sitting for a long time, and my lower back feels uncomfortable."

"I have this problem too. Let the old lady rub it when I go home. Hey, you are number one in physics. You say that person is so generous. I need to get to know him better."

Professor Chen laughed dryly, "It's generous, selfless, and selfless." The hem of his clothes in his trouser pocket tightly clutched the soft flesh at the base of his thigh, ouch, it hurts, I don't know if it's from my heart or from being pinched .

Under the guidance of the guide, the winners boarded the rostrum to receive the award.Mr. Meng has passed away, and all his immediate family members are also dead. Chen Anbang and one of Mr. Meng's nieces received the award on his behalf.

The sadness on the faces of the two cannot be concealed. Meng Lao’s niece is a history lecturer at Yanda University. She said at the meeting that she will donate all the 200 million rewards to the foundation on behalf of Meng Lao. The fund's project team could remember the name Meng Jiayin after their experimental results came out.

When Yuan Zhengying received the writer's trophy, he was very emotional. His winning the literary award not only represented his personal honor, but also meant that journalism was recognized as a kind of literature, which was of great significance to the majority of journalists.

"The philosophy of the Huaqing Award is pragmatic! Whoever can contribute to social progress and whose projects can be transformed into productivity is the one who deserves the award!" Li Zheng said resoundingly.

He knew that such a seemingly utilitarian award concept would inevitably lead to many controversies. This was the result of long-term thinking between him and Zhao Depei. What China needs now is not the glory and the moon, independence from the world, but the reality that China needs now. is productivity.

Li Zheng's words fell, and the heads of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the education department on the rostrum fell into deep thought at the same time. The establishment ceremony of an award brought them too many surprises. This Professor Li Zheng and this Huaqing Award are amazing.

The Huaqing Award was established with the strong support of the vice premiers and them. The remarks made by the funders of the Huaqing Award in public will be considered as the current attitude of Huajing. benefit.

After the news broadcast was broadcast that day, people from different walks of life reacted differently. Ordinary people saw the news and found out that they could get so much money by doing scientific research and winning prizes. , and the number of applicants for scientific research majors such as physical chemistry has also surged, and the scientific research atmosphere in Huaguo is the same for a while.

As for the local officials in Huaguo, they saw the pragmatic attitude of the central government, and they couldn't help but take two points into account when adjusting the policy.

The one who can speak out on behalf of Huajing even praised Li Zheng's "productivity" theory in public, and even said two years earlier that "science and technology are the primary productive forces", which is familiar to all Hua people in later generations!

Li Zheng, who triggered such a big chain reaction, didn't notice it, because he flew to New York to attend the first expert meeting of the "Human Genome Project" on the third day after the Huaqing Prize inauguration ceremony.

The three Nobel Prize winners Watson, Gilbert, and Berg have great influence. The United States has clearly expressed its intention to carry out human genome research, and Italy, the United Kingdom, France, Japan, Canada, Israel, Sweden, Finland, and Norway China, Australia and other countries have more or less expressed their concern for this human genome research.

For a time, almost the top biological scientists in the world gathered in Cold Spring Harbor, and the security force on Long Island, New York was tripled in an emergency. Take responsibility, even if the White House is bombed, nothing will happen to Cold Spring Harbor!"

This statement was echoed by the world media.

Just as the armed forces of the New York government continued to be enriched, the first expert meeting was held in a lecture hall of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.

The lecture hall is not big, it can accommodate about 40 people. At a glance, there are about ten empty seats in a row. In other words, there are about [-] scientists present. They are all the top figures of the pyramid in the biology department. .

Later generations will call this meeting the starting point for human beings to truly know themselves.

The meeting was presided over by Gilbert and Berg. After explaining the significance of the Human Genome Project, Berg said: "I believe that everyone here understands the significance of the Human Genome Project to us and the entire human race. You understand, but you are not sure Yeah?"

A subtle smile appeared on Berg's face.

The biologists present looked at each other in blank dismay. Yes, genes carry the secrets of the human body, which is a fact recognized by the scientific community.Deciphering human genes is the dream of many biologists, because this is the shortest known path to human mysteries.

But what exactly is at the end of this path?Will it be what they want?None of them can speak well.

Perhaps the Genome Project has discovered that there are other causes behind the genes, but so what, isn't that what science is like?On the road of constant discovery, they have no burden for it.

Scientists are the most willful group of people in the world.They will swear to tell you that there is something you want on this road, and then the governments of various countries will go all out to help them prepare equipment, and even help them assemble cars, so that they can embark on the journey.

Then at the end, there was nothing.Scientists will just shrug their shoulders and blame it on the mysteries of science. What can governments do, of course, just continue to support it, because science is productivity, and productivity is the source of human progress.Scientists are the group of people who can create productivity.

"Berg, what do you want to say? The Human Genome Project is imperative." The speaker was an Italian biologist, a leader in Italian biological sciences and a national treasure. He had already made up his mind. He must participate in the Human Genome Project, and if Italy refuses to carry it out, he will participate in his own name. He thinks his country should not want him to make this decision.

"Of course, of course, Ang. What I want to say is that some of us may have uncovered a corner of the mystery of this project. Let us better visualize the wealth after the Human Genome Project." Very excited.

When he saw this experiment record for the first time, he almost jumped up excitedly. Through this record, he even felt that he had seen the scene after the Human Genome Project was fully realized.

Diseases are overcome, human potential is effectively utilized, life expectancy is extended, and all genes for appearance and height can be optimized by finding suitable methods. This will be a magnificent era.

Even, even, he dared to wonder whether the legendary Atlantis, the lost civilization, where the god-like existence was the result of human genes being infinite.This idea fascinates him, science, that's what he's after.

Gilbert coughed dryly, interrupting Berg's racing thoughts.

"Okay, okay, let's get to the point. I have obtained the authorization from the owner of this experimental record to let this prophetic experimental idea be displayed in front of us."

All the bioscientists held their breath, they knew Berg, that's not a slob, there must be something big on this slide.

The crew at Cold Spring Harbor turned off the lights.

A cover signed in square and square fonts appeared on the screen.

"What word is that? Not letters."

"It seems to be from Asia." As he said, someone looked at the only Japanese scientist in the field.

The Japanese scientist frowned and was silent for a long time before uttering a word in English,

,China.The owner of this experimental record is Chinese!
