Chapter 4147

On October 1st, the entire Hanhai Science and Technology, and even the entire Baozhou, was filled with joy. This day was not only the 60th anniversary of the motherland's founding but also the day the first Hanhai Science and Technology Award ceremony was held. For Hanhai Science and Technology and the people of Baozhou, this day had a dual significance, which could further stimulate their patriotic enthusiasm.

You must know that the Hanhai Science and Technology Award was the top technology award in the Chinese circle. Those who could win this award were all top scientists without exception. That this award could be presented in Baozhou was an honor for Baozhou and also an honor for Hanhai Science and Technology.

The award ceremony was held in the grand auditorium of Hanhai Science and Technology. This auditorium was usually used by Hanhai Science and Technology to hold large meetings and could accommodate thousands of people. Many guests and reporters had arrived at the auditorium early, waiting for the start of the award ceremony.

They were all sitting in their seats with excitement, chatting. The first Hanhai Science and Technology Award was a grand event in the technology circle. Being able to attend it could be considered lucky.

Among these guests, many were names familiar to the Chinese technology community, and many were even heads of excellent Chinese technology enterprises who were usually very influential figures. But at this moment, they were all gathered together because of the presentation of the Hanhai Science and Technology Award.

Su Xinghui had also arrived at the auditorium very early. His seat was in the front row, which was the best seat and could be seen most clearly. This was specially arranged for him by Hou Wenchang, and his status was worthy of this seat.

Sitting beside him was Xin Jing, a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee. In addition, there were several leaders from Yanbei Province related to technology, and even leaders such as the Director of the State Science and Technology Commission had come here to attend this award ceremony.

The presentation of the Hanhai Science and Technology Award was not only a grand event for Hanhai Science and Technology and Baozhou City but also a grand event for all of China. The Science and Education Channel of China Central Television also broadcast the entire award ceremony live.

Besides these leaders, sitting in the front row were those academicians of the two academies. Most of them had gray hair, but they were all in high spirits and radiant. For them, being able to attend the first Hanhai Science and Technology Award ceremony was also a matter that made them very happy.

Their lifelong wish was for China's scientific and technological cause to be prosperous and developed. Now, this Hanhai Science and Technology Award marked the prosperity of China's scientific and technological cause. What could make them happier than this?

These academicians of the two academies were not only guests today but also judges who selected the winners of this Hanhai Science and Technology Award. They would also serve as award presenters to present awards to these winners.

Su Xinghui had also visited these academicians of the two academies one by one last night and could be considered to have gotten to know them. His humility and politeness gave these academicians a very good impression of Su Xinghui.

Su Xinghui was no longer an unknown person. Several academicians had heard the name of this youngest mayor in the country and also knew some of his political achievements. They knew that the development of Baozhou City and the rise of Hanhai Science and Technology had a lot to do with Su Xinghui. And Su Xinghui's teacher, Professor Qin Jie, although in a different field of study from theirs, was also a leading figure in the domestic academic circle, so they naturally knew each other well.

Therefore, they also regarded Su Xinghui as their junior and chatted happily with him.

Su Xinghui also extended an invitation to them, hoping that when they had time, they could go to Linshan to take a look and provide guidance on Linshan's development. They all accepted readily, indicating that they would go to Linshan to take a look at an appropriate time, which also made Su Xinghui very happy.

Today, he was also chatting happily with these academicians in his seat.

Xin Jing sat on his right side. She was chatting elegantly and appropriately with several leaders from the province and the State Science and Technology Commission, waiting for the start of the award ceremony. She would turn her head from time to time to look at Su Xinghui. If anyone could see her eyes, they would definitely see the deep affection in them.

Also sitting in the front row were those candidates for the first Hanhai Science and Technology Award today. There were about thirty of them. They were all top scientists with outstanding achievements in their respective fields and were famous at home and abroad. Today, they were all here for the first Hanhai Science and Technology Award.

Although they looked very calm and had great demeanor, if you looked closely, you could still see a hint of nervousness in them.

This was the first Hanhai Science and Technology Award! If they could win, this would undoubtedly be a huge honor, and the substantial prize money was also the highest among similar awards. Even if they were indifferent to fame and wealth, they still needed such a sum of prize money, which could greatly improve their scientific research environment.

As for those reporters, they were also very excited. Being able to report on the first Hanhai Science and Technology Award ceremony was undoubtedly a kind of luck.

Time passed, and gradually, the time for the award ceremony finally arrived. The two hosts who presided over the first Hanhai Science and Technology Award also appeared on stage.

These two hosts were both hosts of the Science and Education Channel of China Central Television, one male and one female. They were both hosts who often hosted technology programs, had a deep understanding of technology, and had a very lively hosting style. Especially the male host, he was very witty and humorous, and even seemingly boring technology programs could be made interesting by him.

Therefore, these two hosts were very popular. This time, Hanhai Science and Technology also specially invited them to host this Hanhai Science and Technology Award ceremony.

After the two hosts went on stage, they were witty and eloquent, making the guests and audience off-stage laugh heartily, which also eased the slightly tense atmosphere at the scene.

After a few opening remarks, the host began to take out the first envelope to announce the winner of the Physics Award of the first Hanhai Science and Technology Award.

After the two kept the audience in suspense for a while, they finally opened the envelope, but then took out two smaller envelopes and said, "I really didn't expect that there are two winners of the Physics Award for today's first Hanhai Science and Technology Award. Each of them will receive a prize of 10 million RMB. Let us wait and see who the winners are today!"

The two hosts each opened an envelope and took out two slips of paper from the envelopes. The way of revealing the list of winners for this Hanhai Science and Technology Award, which currently had the highest prize money and strong authority in the country, was still so traditional.

The male host read out the first name: "Zhang Xueliang, a Chinese-American scientist, former gold medal winner of the Physics Olympiad, currently working at the Hanhai Science and Technology Group Research Institute. His research direction is quantum physics, and he is currently in charge of the Quantum Physics Laboratory of the Hanhai Science and Technology Group Research Institute. His achievement for winning the award this time is..."

At the same time, the giant LCD screen on the stage began to play Zhang Xueliang's award-winning achievements at the Hanhai Science and Technology Research Institute. At this moment, everyone saw the strong scientific and technological strength of Hanhai Science and Technology. On that giant LCD screen, various 3D animations and cool effects were dazzling, and they vividly and intuitively depicted Zhang Xueliang's achievements.

Warm applause erupted off-stage, and Zhang Xueliang also stood up excitedly, waving to everyone to express his gratitude.

The female host opened the other slip of paper and read out the name of the second winner: "Fan Jianxun, a Chinese-American scientist, former gold medal winner of the Physics Olympiad, currently working at the xxx Research Institute in the United States. His research direction is electromagnetism. His achievement for winning the award this time is..."

Fan Jianxun stood up off-stage, his face full of excitement. He also waved to the audience who applauded him. Being able to win the first Hanhai Science and Technology Award was also a huge honor for him.

The male host said, "Mr. Zhang Xueliang, Mr. Fan Jianxun, please come on stage."

Zhang Xueliang and Fan Jianxun went on stage together. As both were former gold medal winners of the Physics Olympiad and had both worked in scientific research institutions in the United States, they naturally knew each other. At this time, they went on stage hand in hand, which could be considered a beautiful story.

After the two went on stage, the male host first said to Zhang Xueliang, "Mr. Zhang Xueliang, may I ask when you went abroad?"

Zhang Xueliang said, "I went abroad after graduating from university in 1990, and after that, I stayed in the United States to engage in scientific research work."

The male host said again, "Then what year did you return to China? And why did you return to China?"
