Chapter 176: Nobel Laureate Expresses Dissatisfaction

At the same time.

After announcing the policy for adjusting its technical system, Tianqi Group began the intensive process of re-evaluating the levels of all technical personnel and categorizing them according to different technical directions.

Ultimately, according to the brand-new evaluation method, out of more than 30,000 technical employees within the group, only 308 met the standards of the Tianke Academy.

Among them, there were two Level 13 Heavenly Scholars.

Six Level 12 Heavenly Scholars.

Twenty-three Level 11 Heavenly Scholars.

Seventy-two Level 10 Heavenly Scholars.

Two hundred and five Level 9 Heavenly Scholars.

For a time, these two Level 13 Heavenly Scholars entered the sight of everyone in the group, drawing countless gazes of envy and admiration.

Aside from Su Xin, the boss who had long since needed no honors to prove himself, these two Level 13 Heavenly Scholars could be considered the highest-level technical talents in the entire Tianqi Group.

This was equivalent to an official certification by the group.

The two of them were simply the best.

One must know that Tianqi Group was teeming with talent and did not lack recipients of various scientific honors; the most famous were the three Nobel Prize winners, two of whom worked at Tianqi Pharmaceutical Company, while the other worked at Tianqi Energy Company, not to mention the various recipients of lesser honors.

To be able to stand out from so many excellent technical R&D personnel and become the two at the highest level, how formidable must they be?

Under the attention of countless employees, the profiles of these two people also entered everyone's view.

What surprised many people was this.

Of these two, only one was among those three Nobel Prize winners—a researcher at Tianqi Pharmaceutical Company named Renisi Puerisi, who had won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine nine years ago and was one of the top big shots in the biomedical field of Beer Country.

With such a top academic big shot becoming one of the only two Level 13 Heavenly Scholars in Tianqi Group, no one had any objections.

Yet the other Level 13 Heavenly Scholar was merely a senior programmer at Tianqi Software Company named Feng Wenyao; although his resume was much more dazzling than an ordinary person's and he was undoubtedly a top talent, when placed among so many of the world's top technical big shots, he appeared relatively mediocre and had no notable honors to show for himself.

This left many people feeling unconvinced.

Especially the other two Nobel Prize winners.

One of them was rated as a Level 12 Heavenly Scholar, becoming recognized as a second-tier R&D staff member of Tianqi Group, second only to the two Level 13 Heavenly Scholars.

The last one was only rated as a Level 11 Heavenly Scholar, which could only be considered third-tier.

To many, this was an honor, but in the eyes of those two, this ranking felt more like a slight and a lack of respect toward them.

For such big shots at the pinnacle of the global scientific research community, reputation was more important than anything else.

In terms of technical strength rankings, how could they settle for being below an ordinary person?

Tianqi Energy Company.

Martin Kelaidun, one of the three Nobel Prize winners who had just been rated as a Level 11 Technician of Tianqi Group and selected for the Tianke Academy, left the Laboratory with a gloomy face. Amidst the curious and strange gazes of many, he took off his protective suit and strode to the door of Ding Kuiyong's office.

"Mr. Martin, President Ding is currently working. Is there something you need? Let me report it first."

A woman walked up to him.

Martin Kelaidun immediately reached out and shoved her aside, pushing the woman to the side, and walked directly into Ding Kuiyong's office.

"President Ding! I need an explanation."

Martin sat down directly opposite Ding Kuiyong and said in Eagle language.

Although Ding Kuiyong had a rough grasp of Eagle language, he still could not fully satisfy daily communication, so he was accustomed to turning on the Translator of the Tiantian Assistant.

He glanced at Martin, who was sitting opposite him with a gloomy face, and said to the mobile phone placed on the desk: "Tiantian, turn on the Long-Eagle Translator."

"Ding, translation function is now enabled."

Only then did Ding Kuiyong say calmly:

"Mr. Martin, you barged into my office uninvited; what kind of explanation do you want me to give you?"

Martin gave a light snort: "I strongly support the group's re-evaluation of technical levels, but why is my level so low? Two levels lower than an unknown programmer, and I didn't even make it into the second tier? I want to know why."

Ding Kuiyong's expression was indifferent: "The group has its own evaluation standards; everyone's past honors are only for reference, not the basis for the group's evaluation."

"Regarding this, I have nothing to explain; everything is evaluated by the group based on each person's various data performance."

"If you are unconvinced by those at higher levels, you can demonstrate stronger strength in the future, and the group will naturally adjust your level."

Martin's face still looked somewhat unpleasant.

He was a Nobel Prize winner in Physics and had made outstanding contributions to the research of graphene materials, and he also had deep attainments in the research of conductive polymers.

Previously, he had been engaged in the R&D of solid-state batteries and had already achieved good results; several technologies, such as the semi-solid-state battery developed under his leadership, were widely applied in the market and quite popular among various enterprises.

As it turned out, the Thor Battery appeared out of nowhere last year, and with a technical level far exceeding all similar products, it severed the hopes of everyone else.

His years of research had gone to waste.

While shocked and dejected, he developed a great interest in Tianqi Energy Company and Su Xin.

However, in his eyes, beyond suspicion, he mostly regarded Su Xin as a junior who had occasionally achieved success, feeling that although the other party did indeed have some ability, it was more due to good luck that he was able to develop the solid-state battery.

After all, Su Xin was only an eighteen-year-old student who had just started university at that time, had not won any scientific honors, and had not even published a decent paper.

Even with two magical products like the Tiantian Assistant and the Thor Battery, in the eyes of a big shot like Martin—a Nobel Prize winner who stood almost at the pinnacle of the global scientific research field—Su Xin was indeed just a junior.

But afterward.

As Su Xin developed one cutting-edge technology after another, his fame grew larger and larger across the world, sparking countless heated discussions and causing many, many scientists to truly recognize Su Xin's ability, even holding him in high esteem.

Even a top big shot like Martin had to admit that Su Xin was indeed the most formidable R&D genius in the world.

There was no "one of."

Su Xin did not need any honors to vindicate himself; his name had long since become the most weighty title in the scientific community.

Without that condescending mindset, Martin, yearning for more profound technology, took the initiative to come to Tianqi Energy Company.

He simply wanted to study the Thor Battery technology and, by using the technical foundation of the Thor Battery, incorporate graphene materials into it to develop a solid-state battery with even stronger performance, while also wanting to communicate more with Su Xin, this scientific research genius.
