Chapter 530: They are here to receive the prize, are you here to purchase goods?
It wasn't until Chang Haonan walked up, shook hands with the host, and walked to the middle of the stage that everyone finally came to their senses.
The flood of applause was late, but fortunately it was not absent.
After all, there are many experts in the field of industrial control sitting below, and they have no objection to the value of this achievement itself.
Chang Haonan's improvement of the DE algorithm can almost be said to have brought the field of multi-objective optimization into a new era.
In fact, the core technology used in the power grid project that just won the third first prize is the differential evolution algorithm.
This kind of algorithmic achievements used to tend to be classified into the Natural Science Award rather than the Science and Technology Progress Award.
Logically speaking, if the algorithm itself wins the first prize, then the results achieved by using the algorithm as a tool should generally not be included in the same series of awards at the same level.
However, the situation this time is indeed a bit special.
When two people are singing duet on stage, it is naturally not the turn of others to make any comments...
Of course, some people have some thoughts about Chang Haonan's appearance, which looks even younger than Xu Yang's just now, and feel that he is a bit too young.
“The winner of the special prize of the 1997 National Science and Technology Progress Award is the Gas Turbine Research Institute and the large-scale high-altitude simulation test bed of aero-engines!”
Chang Haonan bowed slightly to the audience, and then walked off the stage from the other side with the certificate and trophy.
Others at the scene were holding their breath, waiting for the announcement of the special prize.
However, he did not go out to receive the award immediately. Instead, he shook hands with Chang Haonan, who was sitting next to him and had just put away the trophy and certificate, and patted the latter's shoulder.
Liu Zhenxiang went into the mountains and worked hard for more than ten years to build the high-altitude platform. Naturally, his core pursuit cannot be to gain fame and reputation.
Just now when he gave his acceptance speech, he said that his mentor is Academician Du Yishan.
Because he has dealt with too many systems and units, he needs to analyze who should be thanked specifically for this project...
But when an honor commensurate with the efforts falls on you, it would be absolutely false to say that you are not excited.
After the applause died down, the host spoke again:
“Dear guests, the list of winners of the National Science and Technology Progress Award is still not over.”
Chang Haonan received the trophy and certificate from the award leader, and then, as usual, he held it up and showed it to the scene.
In short, there is no need to cause trouble.
When judging awards, in addition to looking at level, qualifications must also be considered.
The moment he heard his name, Liu Zhenxiang, who was already in his sixties, perked up. He waved his fist forward like a child, then stood up and greeted the crowd at the scene.
The acceptance speech stage was not very exciting.
And now, it is obvious that he has a close relationship with Academician Liu Zhenxiang...
"thank you all!"
So the speech is not long.
When he raised the trophy to the audience, the spotlight in front of the stage inadvertently reflected the tears shining in the corners of his eyes...
For Liu Zhenxiang, who has been elected as an academician, this award actually has no “use” in terms of utilitarianism.
According to the general speech template, after saying thank you, it is natural to express your stance:
"This award is not only an affirmation of my past work, but also an incentive for my future work. I will not forget my original intention, redouble my efforts, and continue to work **** the road of scientific research..."
Furthermore, considering that in Yang Fenghao's previous project, the second person to complete the project was also Chang Haonan, which obviously shows that this person's network of relationships is intricate.
The conference affairs did not set a time limit for Liu Zhenxiang's acceptance speech.
Originally, this occasion is not for you to give an academic report.
“With the approval of the Awards Committee, the International Science and Technology Committee and the relevant leading departments of the State Council, it was decided to award a special prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award in 1997.”
As the host finished speaking, Chang Haonan, who had just taken his seat, felt Liu Zhenxiang tremble next to him. He even clenched his fists slightly and glanced towards him unconsciously.
“The first person to complete the project, Liu Zhenxiang!”
Furthermore, this is already the fourth first prize. Even if one of them is cancelled, there will be no second prize to replace it.
But it couldn't stop his smiling face.
Chang Haonan walked slowly behind the podium, pointed at the microphone, and then thought for about two seconds.
At this time, Chang Haonan's status in the circle was even more confirmed.
"I would like to thank the National Science and Technology Award Selection Committee for awarding this honor to me. In addition, I would like to thank my alma mater, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and my mentor, Academician Du Yishan, for their training in me, as well as the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The future was not clear at that time. Under such circumstances, it provides valuable supercomputing resources..."
Can you afford to offend this?
Even those who had some ideas before have forgotten them now.
The special prize also comes with a trophy and a certificate, but the certificate is significantly larger than the first and second prizes. Liu Zhenxiang hugged it to his chest and even slightly blocked his chin.
After filling the scene with suspense and atmosphere, the host finally waved his arm to signal the staff behind him to switch the projection content.
In the auditorium, applause resounded throughout the audience again.
The main reason is that the time is too short, the longest cannot exceed three minutes.
However, it represents the voice of a new generation of scientific researchers.
Obviously, his heart is not as plain as it seems.
Even if you have some ideas, after seeing that many experts in the field of control science and computer algorithms showed no abnormalities, you should be able to feel that this award-winning project is not easy to defeat...
But it is a recognition of him, 624 Institute, and the entire high-altitude platform project team.
However, the people who can sit in this venue may have evil intentions and may be weak-minded, but in short they cannot be fools.
So he talked for a long time and had a lot of content.
From the beginning of drilling into ravines in the 1980s, to the belt-tightening of the military industry at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s, to the first light of dawn, and then to the results after the high-altitude platform was put into use.
Even though a lot of content that is not convenient for public disclosure has been concealed, Liu Zhenxiang's speech has still become a microcosm of the fate of military workers and even all Chinese researchers since the 1980s.
At the end of the story, not only him, but also many people below shed tears.
Liu Zhenxiang also specifically mentioned Chang Haonan.
Of course, he did not explain the relationship between the latter and the new national military standard, but only expressed his gratitude for his contribution to the application of high-altitude platforms—
The revision of the national military standard involves the struggle for dominance in the development of China's aviation industry. The involvement is too wide. Therefore, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense has always been led by Liu Zhenxiang and did not expose Chang Haonan prematurely.
Generally speaking, the Science and Technology Progress Award is the most awarded, and therefore the one that attracts the most attention among the three awards (the International Cooperation Award is not awarded together).
Hence, Liu Zhenxiang's acceptance of the award should basically be regarded as the climax of the entire ceremony.
The following technical invention awards and natural science awards are generally awarded very quickly.
Including the acquaintances Chang Haonan met before the meeting, most of them also received the Science and Technology Progress Award.
For Chang Haonan, being able to take home a first prize is considered satisfying.
After all, the two king bombs in his hand, the turbofan 10 and the heavy die forging press, have not yet produced results.
There are still opportunities to get them later.
So, after Liu Zhenxiang received the award, he felt completely relaxed.
And because I didn't get much rest this whole day, I even started to feel drowsy very quickly.
However, things developed beyond his expectation.
Just when Chang Haonan was trying to fight off sleepiness, he suddenly heard his name again.
“1997 National Technological Invention Award Special Prize…”
In fact, when the award was read out by the host, there was already a small commotion at the scene.
“Is there a special prize for the Technical Invention Award?”
“Yeah, I thought it was only for the Science and Technology Progress Award…”
“Is it newly established this time?”
Soon, someone with more seniority explained:
“Yes, in 1981, Mr. Yuan's indica hybrid rice won the Special Prize for Technical Invention, but after that, it should not have been awarded again..."
“Wouldn't it be that it has been vacant for fifteen or sixteen years?”
“We originally thought that this special prize was a customized award for hybrid rice, and we stopped giving it out after it was given out. But we didn't expect it to be given out again this year..."
“I just don't know which project can have such a big impact…”
At this time, the host has also revealed the suspense——
“Portable modular flood control reinforcement kit 'Xi soil', winner, Chang Haonan!”
The whole house was in an uproar!
Chang Haonan himself was suddenly awakened from his half-dream.
Those who knew Chang Haonan almost all subconsciously looked at where he was sitting.
Even several leaders who were responsible for taking turns to present awards on stage, and even some members of the awards committee, all showed expressions of confusion or shock.
The selections for different categories of awards are conducted separately, especially the selection committee of the Science and Technology Progress Award. They had no idea that the Technology Invention Award next door had awarded Chang Haonan a special grade.
In turn, the Technical Invention Award Jury actually only found out that Chang Haonan won the first prize when the awards were just handed out...
Only the host who had rehearsed in advance, and a few people such as Song Jian who had known the inside story for a long time, looked normal.
It is an unprecedented feat for the same person to win twice in the same selection.
What's more, one of them is a special prize for technical invention that has not been awarded in more than ten years...
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the flood protection reinforcement kit is definitely related to last year's major floods.
Those who know a little bit about the inside story will speculate that this should be the kind of new equipment that can turn the world around at the two key points of Xunyang and Jiangling.
Considering the selection process for the Grand Prize, this is probably an instruction directly from the top...
Chang Haonan has just finished his confusion and is ready to go on stage to receive the award again.
The people in the audience were thinking further.
More than half of the eyes in the venue were focused on the last series of awards, which is the director of the selection committee of the Natural Science Award.
The meaning is obvious.
You won't give him an award, right?
Originally, everyone just thought about it casually.
However, the person being stared at was already sweating on his forehead.
Seeing that the situation at the scene had changed, Song Jian simply asked the host to tell the following content directly.
I can only say that he is a live host hired from CCTV, and his professionalism is not at all high.
Faced with this complete deviation, it only took a few seconds to find the one he needed from a pile of cards in his hand, and then stood at the front of the stage again, facing Chang Haonan who had just recovered. :
“Comrade Chang Haonan, I have another piece of good news to tell you.”
“As the first person to complete the project, he won the first prize of the National Natural Science Award... The winning project is 'Prediction and Prevention of Severe Weather Conditions Affecting Aviation Safety'!”
When he said this sentence, even the host, who had rehearsed several times and already knew the plot, was a little numb.
Even if he is not a scientific researcher, he can feel that the young man in front of him who is younger than himself seems a bit too unnatural.
As for the other people in the audience...
It's even more numb.
Everyone is here to receive awards today.
And Chang Haonan.
But it seems like I'm here to purchase goods…
