The frantic and busy night finally ended in the early morning.

When Ouyang Boyi and Shen Mingzhou came back from the police station, they were all exhausted from the journey.

Shen Mingzhou was alright, his face was pale, silent and introverted, making it hard for people to see him clearly.

Ouyang looked worse. After all, he was in a foreign country, and he was held hostage from the hotel for two hours, which was enough to live like a year.

When the organizing committee informed them that the awards ceremony, which was scheduled for a few hours later, was postponed.

Everyone just wanted to go back to their room to rest and not wake up.

No one is in the mood to care about Mr. Ivan Franky anymore.

Only when Shen Mingzhou returned to the room did he have time to think carefully about the whole incident.

The rescue operation was hasty and chaotic, and Ouyang Boyi's mood was relatively stable, but the kidnapper's intention she described involved serious implications.

Shen Mingzhou has never published the model code of solar energy conversion technology in papers or competition projects.

It can be said that apart from him, only Ouyang knows this set of codes.

Shen Mingzhou had to think about the fact that the core of the technology theory was coveted by others, which triggered the kidnapping.

The United States has always had a bad reputation, and it often resorts to hooligan tactics in international affairs, making ordinary Chinese like Shen Mingzhou see all the jokes of capitalism.

Now, the jokes have turned into harsh words, and the outlook is not optimistic.

Shen Mingzhou did not expect that such a risk would occur simply by participating in the global science and technology competition.

His thoughts were clear and he couldn't calm down, and he kept replaying the scene of the rescue moment.

Dragonfly's data transmission delay is still too high. He originally planned to isolate the prisoner and Ouyang directly at the moment the FBI broke the door.

However, even if the control was predicted in advance, it was about two seconds late. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to beat the prisoner who tried to resist Ouyang's hostage, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Shen Mingzhou couldn't sleep at all, he closed his eyes and was thinking about how to improve the transmission efficiency of the dragonfly.

After tossing and turning until it was slightly bright, Shen Mingzhou glanced at the time and decided to call Shao Lian.

Even if the wechat chat never stopped, at this moment he missed Shao Lian's relaxed and steady voice very much.

Reassuring.

The phone rang for a long time, and finally someone answered.

Shen Mingzhou thought a lot about the opening remarks about the dragonfly and the kidnapping case, and when he heard the thick nasal voice on the other side, he said without thinking: "I want to go home."

When had Shao Lian heard Shen Mingzhou complain in such a sticky and dependent tone.

He just opened his mouth to say a few words, but before he could make a sound, he started coughing.

A series of coughing, can not be suppressed.

Shen Mingzhou suddenly remembered that there was indeed something wrong with the set of pants and slippers Shao Lian wore in the selfie.

"You still said you had a cold! You lied to me again."

"It's almost ready, it's almost ready, cough..." Shao Lian's voice was hoarse and deep, "What's the matter, it will be the awards ceremony later. You can go home after winning the award, be good."

After saying be good, Shao Lian even coughed hoarsely with a smile.

Perhaps because of Shao Lian's infection, Shen Mingzhou, who was originally preoccupied, was swept away from the suppressed and heavy emotions.

"But the award ceremony was postponed until tomorrow morning, so I have to wait another day or two when I get home."

"It's only a day or two..." Shao Lian spoke intermittently, becoming more and more gentle, "Why the delay?"

This kind of global competition is rarely postponed.

Shao Lian was sick and dazed, but still felt something was wrong.

However, facing his sudden vigilance, Shen Mingzhou replied in a relaxed tone: "Oh, because Mr. Ivan Franky is coming. So the organizing committee decided to wait for him."

What he said is well-founded. The founder of the Global Science and Technology Contest and the founder of the Planetary Award, plus the identity of the founder of the funder company, make this reason full of convincing.

However, Shao Lian on the other side of the phone suppressed his cough and asked a fatal question.

"Frankie hasn't paid attention to these things for a long time. He's getting old and caring for his life. Ahem, why did he suddenly want to watch the game again?"

"Who knows?" Shen Mingzhou didn't want him to continue to delve into this matter, "Perhaps the old man had a whim and felt that the No.60 Global Science and Technology Competition is very commemorative, so he wanted to come and see it for himself."

The room was quiet, there was no voice on the other end of the phone, only low coughing and heavy breathing.

After a while, Shao Lian suddenly asked sharply: "Shen Mingzhou! You were kidnapped?!"

Shen Mingzhou: ...

"You wait, I'll book a plane ticket and come here now." There was a sound of getting out of bed and rummaging through the boxes on the phone, "Fuck! My passport!"

The short cursing passed, and the chaos on Shao Lian's side finally subsided.

Even though the patient's voice was hoarse, it was full of eagerness.

"Shen Mingzhou, what happened to you!" Shao Lian wanted to be gentle, but couldn't, "Be honest with me!"

"I'm fine. Something happened to Ouyang. I just assisted the FBI."

"..."

"Don't worry, the legal system in the United States is sound. Ouyang has returned safely. When the awards are broadcast live tomorrow morning, you can still see her alive and kicking on the stage to accept the awards."

"..."

"Mingzhou, I'm very worried about you." Shao Lian's hoarse voice touched Shen Mingzhou's heartstrings in the early morning in a distant foreign country.

He curled up under the quilt, and finally felt a hint of warmth in his cold hands and feet.

"I'm fine." Shen Mingzhou leaned very close to the mobile phone, as if he could convey all his emotions to Shao Lian unreservedly, "After Ouyang was kidnapped, the police came quickly, and because minors were involved, they immediately transferred to Shao Lian. FBI. Their master control is very useful, and it took me less than 5 minutes to locate Ouyang."

"FBI chief controller..." Shao Lian didn't know what expression to make, "Mr. Shen, you are amazing. You have only been to the United States for a few days, and the FBI even let you use the master controller."

Shen Mingzhou raised an arc, and said with a smile: "Because Professor Arnold helped me."

"..."

"He told me about when you were studying. Boss Shao, I didn't expect you to be quite cute when you were young."

In the second day of middle school, he is lonely and cute.

"Big baby, go to bed if you have nothing to do, what time is it in the United States, if you stay up late, you will be bald. Be good, good night."

Shao Lian slipped very fast.

Professor Arnold can come forward to help Shen Mingzhou. If something happens, the professor is more reliable than him, a patient trapped in the country.

Shen Mingzhou hung up the phone, closed his eyes, and the smile didn't fade away.

Sure enough, Shao Lian's voice was very effective. Listening to it, even the quiet early morning in the United States became extremely warm.

In one night, the news that the popular FBI in the United States solved the kidnapping case traveled across the ocean.

The morning is a good time for domestic office workers to fish and discuss international events.

"Extreme speed! The FBI rescued the hostages in two hours! Locating in 5 minutes! Rescue in 3 minutes!"

The news headlines that shocked the Ministry reflected the superiority of capitalism, but in the eyes of netizens who are immune to capitalism, they are similar to mobile phone advertisements that charge for 5 minutes and talk for two hours.

Everyone swayed and clicked in, and their glasses were almost taken off by the content.

It's really a kidnapping case!

The FBI used high technology to locate the kidnapper in 5 minutes!

3 minutes to rescue the hostages!

There were no casualties, not even a shootout!

After the shock department finished sighing, and slowly like an insider, he threw out the key points——

The abductees were contestants in a global technology competition.

The high technology that assists the FBI is the work of other contestants.

Putting together the cause and effect, it is "shocking! The student contestants assisted the FBI to rescue their companions, and it took less than two hours"!

Perfectly translated the reports of the American media, as if he was a window for capitalist propaganda.

However, the masses of the people did not feel the superiority of American imperialist technology, but only felt that capitalism was indeed living in dire straits, which was not at all like the happiness of socialism in our news broadcasts.

They read the news at will and browse Weibo at will.

But after a while, this meaningless transnational news actually became a hot search.

Click on it again, and the hot news is actually "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a safety reminder for going to the United States."

The content of the reminder clearly stated: During the process of the Chinese delegation going to the United States to participate in the global science and technology competition, the contestants were kidnapped with guns. , so that justice can be served.

Chinese team...

Wait a moment? !

Lazy netizens and friends suddenly had a strong signal to eat melons, and they threw themselves into the discussion of this hot news from all directions.

The global messaging network demonstrated unparalleled responsiveness at this moment.

From tweets to faces and then to major social media, the news released by many children who participated in the global science and technology competition is enough to stun the country.

"Someone would be kidnapped in a hotel. Chinese people's safety awareness is too poor."

"I didn't expect a contestant to help the FBI. This is too dramatic."

"Pray for Ouyang's safety. Although we don't know each other, we are all contestants who also came to the United States from the motherland. God bless."

"Shen is too cool. I took many photos of his dragonfly at the exhibition venue. I don't know if the kidnapper is so handsome [picture] by the dragonfly."

The porter within the wall sends the text and pictures to the intranet every minute.

Netizens who keep watching the topic closely and look for clues in it will be able to see the improved version of Dragonfly in the exhibition hall of the Global Science and Technology Competition with their own eyes.

The silver-gray exterior, shot in the air, reflects dazzling light in the brightly lit exhibition hall.

Netizens were stunned, confused, and filled with question marks!

Didn't Shen Mingzhou and Ouyang use solar energy to compete?What's up with this drone? !

The people outside the circle who did not understand the situation of the provincial competition of the Innovation and Technology Contest were belatedly aware of it at this time.

The reports really only mentioned solar energy conversion technology, and the well-known "ENE" paper.

Drone?

Even when it was reported, they thought, "Oh, it's just a drone."

Now, this "nothing more than" drone has become the focus of the kidnapping case.

Countless people are looking forward to it, waiting for the FBI to officially release the live video of the handsome drone quickly assisting the rescue, or the video of the media watching with exaggerated shouts!

However, no.

The 5-minute positioning method and the 3-minute rescue process are too short, and the official does not even have time to record a video to promote the FBI's brave appearance.

Inside and outside the walls, there was a lot of excitement, chatting about the same topics for the same international events.

After all, I just want to see Shen Mingzhou's drone.

"Go to see the awards ceremony of the Global Science and Technology Competition! It was broadcast live worldwide, and I heard that it was postponed because of their affairs."

"When is the live broadcast?"

"Tomorrow morning in the United States? Let me see how long it is in Beijing."

When the award ceremony of the Global Science and Technology Contest starts in the morning, it happens to be the beginning of the night life of the Chinese people.

Because the host venue is in the United States, the award ceremony was full of persuasive English hosts from the very beginning.

But it doesn't matter, the Chinese people with barrage can adapt well to the live broadcast without translation.

When various awards were presented, there were curious people asking questions on the barrage.

——Are you at the Planetary Awards?

No, it was awarded to Environmental Science.

——Why has the Chinese representative team not received any awards?

Because they are not participating in these projects!

The awards are presented one by one, and the winners appear on stage in order.

Finally, there are Chinese figures.

A group of people who don't understand what the award ceremony is talking about will be excited in advance when they hear the prefix "China"!

—Have you received the Planetary Award? !

Wake up!This is an honorable mention!

——Then Shen Mingzhou doesn't have a planetary award?

Not awarded yet, be quiet!

It is impossible to be quiet, and it is impossible to be quiet in this life. Only by frantically typing and refreshing the sense of existence in the bullet screen can I maintain my excitement.

Every time the Chinese representative team came to the stage to accept the award, they would ask the same question, and then the full screen of 666 ran past.

Although the strange netizens didn't know the children on stage, they felt a sense of honor from the bottom of their hearts when they thought that this was an award won by a Chinese child.

National pride is refreshed everywhere, and some people still express their curiosity.

"Where's Shen Mingzhou?"

"Where's Shen Mingzhou's drone?"

Watching an award presentation, unrelated passers-by actually cared more about the final results of the project than Shen Mingzhou himself.

Finally, the host said: "Next, Mr. Ivan Franky will announce the winner of the highest honor in this competition—the Planetary Award!"

Franky is in his 80s, thin, with white hair and sunken eyes.

The appearance of him wearing a shirt is not the old man's dying years, but a faintly indomitable spirit.

All the way to the stage, he seemed to have gone through 60 years of vicissitudes in the competition, and witnessed the dream of countless Nobel Prize winners set sail.

The venue was silent, and all eyes were chasing him.

"Good morning, boys."

Frankie spoke slowly, but clearly.

Given his age, all the judges and students here are as young as children in his eyes.

"It is a great honor to be here to participate in the award presentation of the No.60 Global Science and Technology Competition. It has been 60 years since I last held the list of winners."

His old face was full of the vicissitudes of time when he smiled.

"At that time, the first child to win the Planetary Prize, named Duke Donovan, won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 15 years after he won the Planetary Prize, in recognition of his research that led to human breakthroughs in tumors sexual awareness."

The brilliance and nobility of an event, through his simple introduction, become extremely tall.

The winner of the first Planetary Prize is also a Nobel Prize winner, as if the global science and technology competition is inseparable from the Nobel Prize.

The contestants in the audience have heard too much related information.

But the audience in front of the live broadcast room, because of this introduction, really discovered how awesome the Planetary Award is.

The barrage continues to act as a commentator.

The text that keeps popping up is not only responsible for text subtitles, but also has an explanation function.

——Not only the first Planetary Award, but also eight Nobel Prize winners in the global science and technology competition.

——The global science and technology competition is called "little Nobel" because the contestants are all middle school students!

With science popularization, the audience became awe-inspiring when they saw the old man's gaze.

But Franky said with a smile: "The Planetary Award, as the highest award in the global science and technology competition, has always been endowed with too much lofty meaning by the outside world."

"We have issued a total of 59 Planetary Awards to recognize research that solves human ailments. Therefore, the Planetary Award, also known as the Life Award, seems to have become a symbol of human beings breaking through themselves and exploring the future."

He let out a gentle laugh, with an expression of connivance and love for the younger generation.

"However, the Global Science and Technology Competition has a total of [-] categories of entries. When the Planetary Award was established, it was not an award exclusively for biomedicine."

After he said this sentence, there was a cry of surprise in the venue.

The contestants who had originally confirmed that the Planetary Award would also belong to the biomedical category this year suddenly became very curious.

They thought of the same name as the audience in the live broadcast room.

——Which category is Shen Mingzhou’s drone? !

——Engineering!It's engineering!

The excitement of the barrage turned into reality, together with the turmoil that gradually swayed in the venue, vigorously recalling the kidnapping case that was solved quickly yesterday.

Shen Mingzhou's name drifted down like spring rain, falling into everyone's heart.

"Today, I saw a young man full of light, using the power of technology to defend the bottom line of human ethics."

After Ivan Franky saw the news, he felt that a change should be made.

Change the inherent impression of the Planetary Awards, change the ruthless indifference that technology brings to the general public, and encourage more children to return to the essence of technology.

Use more advanced technology to save more people.

"So, when I came here, I wanted to thank him personally for allowing me to find the warmth and hope that belonged to human beings in the midst of icy technological development."

"China, Shen Mingzhou."

The old man's tone was resounding, echoing in the vast awards ceremony hall of the competition.

"Thank you for making me feel that this year's planets are extraordinarily bright."
