Chapter 813: Nobel Doesn't Beat the Ticket (I)
Soon, major European newspapers published that China had conducted a worldwide selection of science and technology awards, which was called the Tengfei Award. As long as you are a person, as long as you are a natural person, even if you are just a slave of China or other countries, you can participate in the selection. Those who are selected can also receive bonuses and some privileges. For example, as long as you are alive, you can join the Chinese nationality, even if you are a slave, you can apply for citizenship, and you can directly obtain the benefits of first-class citizens are much higher, and the subsequent wages and benefits are also very high.
And this immediately caused a sensation around the world, because this is not only China's money to promote, but also tells everyone that there are many benefits to the selection. With this take-off award, although those European scientists are not too keen on becoming Chinese nationals, they are also good for the benefits that follow. With this Take-off Award, even if you do not become a Chinese citizen, China will treat you as its own citizen, and you don't even have to pay for it.
With this medal, you can go to any of the foreign agencies sent by the Chinese government to apply for services at any time, and you will receive the best quality service, and it is unconditional, and you will not take the opportunity to ask you to do anything. And the resulting costs will also be reimbursed by the government, and there will be no payment. In this way, after having this medal, it is equivalent to having the protection of your own motherland, and it is also equivalent to having the protection of the Chinese government, and the other party still does not want you to pay any obligations for China, so they will help you.
Of course, there is another very attractive application, and that is the application for research funding for the Ascendas Award. Anyone who has won this Tengfei Award can also apply for a research grant from China at any time. And the other party will not ask you to send this research project to China. And this is an unconditional grant of funding for research, even if you use this research result to be an enemy of China in the future, they will admit it. And how generous, how fair!
And this also makes many scientists feel good about it, because many scientists will have to give up scientific research projects because of insufficient funding for scientific research. Even if some people provide funding. That's what you need to do, and even ask you to give the research project to that investor. So the merchant's money, that's not a good amount of money. The investment of businessmen and capitalists is to be returned, so many scientists are also very helpless, and they will inevitably lose their freedom if they accept the funding of businessmen!
Therefore, any scientist also knows that accepting funding from businessmen is a double-edged sword, and for those who really love science, they are naturally unwilling to be controlled by these businessmen. However, with the increasing need for funding for scientific research. They also have a lot of headaches. So this scientist is feeling a lot of pressure, but now someone doesn't put forward any conditions, so they are willing to fund you to do scientific research, so that any scientist will be tempted.
"The Ascendas Prize is selected once a year for those who have made great contributions to scientific progress in the previous year, and the prize money is 10,000 Chinese dollars, worth more than 1,000 pounds. In principle, each discipline should set up five individuals or cooperative combinations, and each group generally does not exceed three people. There are five departments: science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, and physiology. There are five places per year for each subject. Special contributions to the development of science and technology may or may not be awarded. In general, in principle, there is no way to make a big contribution that is not famous, and it can be left blank. ”
Anyone who looks at it will know that this award is for the Nobel Prize, specifically to compete for fame with the Nobel Prize. Of course, what makes everyone feel that this award has a wider range of awards than the Nobel Prize, because the Nobel Prize only has physics and chemistry. Physiology or medicine, literature and ******. However, the award of this Nobel Prize is determined according to Nobel's will, and as a descendant, he will definitely not be able to change the will, only these disciplines will be awarded.
In fact, physical chemistry can be called science, and mathematics can also be called science. Therefore, this Nobel Prize is extracted from physical chemistry and ignores the importance of many other disciplines. And for those who study mathematics, it makes them feel as if they have been neglected. Legend has it that Nobel's girlfriend ran away with a mathematician, but this is not the case. Nobel ignored the importance of mathematics and led to the Fields Medal.
As for the geography, there are many other geologies that have been neglected. Therefore, people who study these two subjects are also very concerned about this Tengfei Award, after all, it is not only a generous bonus, but also allows them to find a certain sense of belonging.
Of course, there are a lot of people who are even more surprised. That is, those engineers, those engineers are not studying science, they are studying engineering. Engineering is a person who transforms ready-made knowledge of science into actual products, and the scope of application of this kind of person is also very wide. However, at present, there are almost no international awards for engineering, and there is a gap. Even in later generations, there was a huge gap in the awards for engineering disciplines. There are far more people studying engineering and using engineering than there are people studying science. Although science is the foundation, the role of engineering cannot be ignored, and if there is no engineering, the various theories of science cannot be applied, and economic benefits cannot be generated, and finally the science of science can be fed.
And engineering is ignored by many people, which makes them feel dissatisfied. Now Wang Guorui has set up this take-off award, which can be said to allow people in engineering to get an award. And although this engineering subject was set up by Chinese, they also felt that their status had been improved and that they were valued. Especially those tens of thousands of engineers around the world, even more watched this prize worth more than 1,000 pounds flow out of the harazi, this is a real ticket! This is real wealth, and in this era of the gold standard, the currency will not be depreciated casually, which is definitely a good thing. No one will dislike having a lot of money, and wealth is always the most important thing that motivates people to progress.
As for some agronomy, this has surprised many people. Because this agronomy has always been a neglected subject, because since the West could not enter the era of industrialization, they have less research on agriculture. They have a large number of colonies and a large amount of land, so will they naturally study agriculture seriously? They have too many colonies in the West, and there is no food crisis for the time being, so naturally there is little demand for this agronomy. However, no one knew that in the coming decades, the colonies began to become independent, and at that time, the countries of the West began to study how to produce the most agricultural products with the least amount of land.
Later generations in China claimed to have fed a large number of people with hybrid rice, but how did this hybrid rice come about? In fact, it was not actively studied, but forced out by the real environment. If there is no real lack of food and increasing population pressure, the scientist surnamed Yuan will probably choose other research directions. The reason why the scientist surnamed Yuan was able to obtain such a high honor and status, and even all kinds of media boasted about it, was actually because his contribution to the population was large enough. Without his hybrid rice, the population pressure would be increasing, so his value is immeasurable.
However, the pressure on the world's population in this era is not great, and with the "collective suicide" of the two world wars, that population has been weakened. Therefore, only after the Second World War and the gradual outbreak of the food crisis will all countries really pay attention to agriculture. However, the current agriculture revolves around industry, and is completely subordinate to industry.
However, Wang Guorui set up this agronomy alone, obviously so that some people who study agriculture have a feeling of "finding an organization". So they saw the award, and they all said they were very enthusiastic about it. When they heard that this award was not limited to any nationality or race, and even Westerners could receive it, they all went to the Chinese legations and consulates abroad to inquire.
Even, they heard that the corresponding selection work has not been completely completed yet, so many of them even went to "self-recommend". This represents the vote, the ticket represents the gold, who is not tempted? Coupled with the various benefits in the back, no one asks you to join the nationality, nor does they ask you to serve them, this kind of Tianshan pie, who doesn't come!
All kinds of scientists and engineers throughout Europe have also been attracted by this ticket, and this reward is too rich. Because this bonus is almost their salary income for 20 years! With this bonus, they don't have to worry about any livelihood problems in the rest of their lives, and it is enough to eat the bonus directly at home for the elderly. So this makes them all feel that this red ticket is very valuable, especially those engineers who work for others, and they are even more hot. Therefore, all those who think they have some level have taken the initiative to come and hope to win this take-off award. Therefore, Chinese embassies and consulates in various countries have also come to recommend a lot of self-nominees, but it remains to be seen how specific their capabilities and achievements are.
