Genius of the Rules-Style System Chapter 522 - 310: An Annual First-class Natural Science Awa

"He’s going to receive his own award!"

Yan Xuelin chuckled as he explained, "Zhao Yi is not just another project. His mathematical research has a much bigger impact. If all goes well, he has already won the Natural Science Award, although it remains to be seen which research earned it."

"Yes, Zhao Yi certainly has an individual award."

"I heard from a friend that the awards committee is worried. They can’t decide what project Zhao Yi should be awarded for."

"He’s impressive with both the waveforms and Brother Guess. His waveform research alone covers several areas. Weakened proofs of twin pris also count, and the computer award could involve the sieve thod. Any of these could get him a big prize."

"I bet all of Zhao Yi’s projects receive full marks."

"..."

Zhao Yi, listening by the side, was grinning. Receiving a national science award was indeed a quite an honor. The thought of a high-ranking official presenting his award was a bit thrilling too.

For the next few days, wherever he went, he was greeted with words of congratulations.

"Congratulations, Zhao Yi, on the First-class Award of Natural Science!"

"This award is really impressive. Not many mathematicians receive it. The first person to receive it was Hua Luogeng."

"Too bad the award process takes age into account. Otherwise, you would certainly win the Highest Science and Technology Award."

"Yes, who doesn’t want that award!"

The highest honor among the national science and technology awards is the Highest Science and Technology Award.

Given Zhao Yi’s achievents, he definitely fulfills the criteria for the Highest Science and Technology Award, but traditionally, this award is given to mbers of the Science Academy or the Engineering Academy. And the youngest recipient has been sixty-seven years old, all of them notable figures in their field.

Zhao Yi has the academic contributions and the reputation, but he’s not yet a mber of an academy, and he’s a bit too young.

The award committee must be having headaches.

If he were to receive the Highest Science and Technology Award now, what else could they give him over the next half-century?

Of course.

Zhao Yi is not particularly concerned.

Everyone can only receive the Highest Science and Technology Award once, and getting it too early has no real benefits.

The First-class Award of Natural Science isn’t bad either.

The good thing about the Natural Science Award is that it targets research projects rather than individual achievents. With his influential contributions, he might receive the Natural Science Award repeatedly.

Receiving a First-class Award of Natural Science every year doesn’t sound too bad.

Then...

Does that an eting with the highest authority every year?

After one year, two years, three years... could they eventually chat during the award ceremony, "Oh, you are here again?"

"Yes!"

"How co we see you every year..."

"Well, my skills don’t allow to not... cough cough."

"..."

The national awards ceremony takes place at the end of January, right before the Lunar New Year.

Zhao Yi’s focus has been on the research in the lab, intending to complete the analysis of the VIF gene structure before the award ceremony.

Five days later.

There were cheers from the lab. The last piece of the puzzle was in place.

Zhao Yi, Zhang Wei, and Yan Yi embraced each other. Then they high-fived Ai Lixin and Liu Chengjie, saying seriously, "Finally, we’ve finished. We’ve completed a phase. Let’s organize the data. We’ll continue with the next task after the New Year."

"There’s no hurry for the report and the paper. We could find ti to finish them later."

"Let’s gather in the lab the day after tomorrow once the award ceremony is over. We can have a little eting, like a pre-celebration of our annual eting. Then..."

"A bonus will be distributed!"

"Oh~~~"

Collective cheer.
