"This way of eating is quite novel."
Ge Qingping was holding a plate of cakes, smiling from ear to ear.
Wang Zhongshu gnawed on the sheep's hoof and said, "Teacher Ge, please eat less sweets."
Ge Qingping rolled his eyes at him: "You are already old, so eat less oil."
Next to him, Qian Mao was amazed: "I have lived so long and I have never seen anything that can eat like this. Tsk, tsk, buffet, what a buffet."
"Oh, this is so delicious."
"There is also wine to drink. But it is all light wine, not strong."
"You're talking nonsense, how can you participate in an event when you're drunk?"
“…”
The buffet scene was very lively and grand. After all, I have never seen this way of eating. It is very fresh, very practical, and even more high-end.
The guests who participated in the seminar were not mainly there to eat. They gathered together in groups holding wine glasses, discussing and building relationships.
"Mr. Xu, hello."
"Eh? Hello, Mr. Liu."
"This time is really grand and unprecedented. This is the first time in my life to participate in such a grand event."
Another person lowered his voice and said with a smile: "When Emperor Xun ascended the throne, it was never such a sensation."
"Don't dare to say nonsense."
"Think about it, when the emperor ascends the throne, all the nine states will surrender. Look at this summit, half the world is here. There are foreign scientists and scholars everywhere."
"That makes sense."
“…”
"Hey, do you know where we can buy the steam car we're taking today? I asked the driver on the way, and he said to stay tuned."
"That's a project of Liu Jianye of Xingtu Group. You can ask Mr. Liu later."
"But, I feel like this thing is not cheap. I'm afraid it will cost tens of millions of coins, right?"
"That's no need. I've heard that it's probably tens of thousands of coins."
"Ten thousand?"
“…”
There were also intellectuals who gathered together to discuss and chat together during the buffet.
"Prince Jin, here's a toast to you."
"Hello. I have long admired my name, Ding Mao, a senior in the field of physics."
"I don't dare to take it seriously. I heard that Prince Jin has been studying something in recent years. Has it been successful?"
"Of course it worked."
"Have you written your paper?"
"Of course I have to write it."
"Well, I... I also want to write a paper, but I can't explain the reason for my result. I heard that the purpose of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences is to know the reason. I can't figure out why. .”
"Then you are in trouble, try to explain it. But it's okay, this is the first time. There will be opportunities in the future. We, the first batch of people, are lucky and can accumulate experience and gain insights."
"Yes, the scale of this event is beyond my expectation. If you win an award here, it will be a great honor. It will be recorded in history in the future. After all, even Ge Qingping is here to be one of the judges."
“…”
'Bang bang bang'
At half past eight, the roar of artillery suddenly came from the distant sea.
The entire Laoshan Mountain fell silent, and everyone became nervous.
"here we go."
“…”
A dozen etiquette ladies walked to the buffet venue and said with a smile: "Master Li stipulated that the chemistry project should be carried out first. I would like to trouble all the guests and chemists to move to the auditorium."
Then, the etiquette lady led the way, leading a group of people to the Chemistry Road of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences, to the Chemistry Department Auditorium.
Scholars majoring in physics and mathematics were stunned on the spot. It turned out to be a competition one by one. Quick selection in draft mode.
Many people wanted to watch the excitement, so they went along, wanting to see what kind of battles were going on at the scene so that they could learn more later.
But another group of etiquette ladies came over: "I guess you didn't sleep well last night. A separate room has been arranged for you. You can choose to take a short rest or discuss knowledge."
Jin Shiteng and others wanted to go to the School of Chemistry, but they were too embarrassed. They could only follow them into their respective rest rooms.
Whoever is in the mood to rest is here. To say that you are not nervous would be a lie.
Everyone simply got together and took advantage of this time to start discussing knowledge. The opportunity for this high-end exchange meeting is hard-won.
In the auditorium of the Department of Chemistry.
Names were placed on all the seats. Guests who joined the meeting were seated according to their own lives and ranked according to their status. People with higher status sat in the front.
Without further ado, after everyone took their seats, Li Zhen and Ge Qingping walked up to the rostrum above. A female classmate guest-hosted the show and introduced the opening remarks. Explain the importance of chemistry from the simplest to the most profound level.
After all, the vast majority of people sitting here are not so professional. They do not need a specific process. They only understand that as a public judge, they only need to judge two conditions.
First, whether this research is of great significance and whether it will be of great value in the future.
Second, whether this research project can advance the entire academic field.
The host was introducing the opening remarks, and backstage, the prepared chemists couldn't help but become nervous.
There are not many candidates for the Chemistry Prize, only four.
Two of them are from the Department of Chemistry, Kyushu Academy of Sciences. It's two teams.
The other two are local intellectuals from Kyushu.
One of them was a professor of chemistry at Fuxing University. When he saw that many of them were students he had taught, he felt a little sneered and looked down upon.
Don’t you know the level of the students you taught back then? He felt that the one million coins from the chemistry prize belonged to him.
And soon, his name was called: "Next, Mr. Xing Fu, professor of chemistry at Fuxing University, will bring us his scientific research results. 'Highly bright light bulb that does not require electricity.'"
There was a lot of noise in the field, and everyone started whispering to each other: "Aren't light bulbs that don't use electricity just kerosene lamps?"
"No, what's the point of this?"
"Is it to save electricity?"
"I think his scientific research results should be to save power. If it saves battery, it does have some meaning."
"I have to listen to the principle of his electricity-free light bulb later. If the investment cost is not high, and if it can replace the existing battery-powered light bulbs, I will invest in this project."
“…”
After a while, a confident old man carrying a box came out: "My name is Xing Fu, and I am a professor of chemistry at Fuxing University. Before I talk about my project, I have a request."
Everyone fell silent. Are there any more requests
Li Zhen smiled and said, "Teacher Xing, please tell me."
Xing Fu looked at Li Zhen with a complicated look. Li Zhen had taken care of him before, but now he was so powerful. He felt a little emotional.
Xing Fu glanced at Xu Shenxue, who was sitting in the first row at the guest table, and said: "Because this scientific research result is my hard work, I must keep it secret. I will find investors to invest in production when the time comes. This will provide I have brought huge profits. Therefore, I don’t want my results to be spread out today. I don’t want to explain the principles and let everyone here understand the truth, so as to avoid piracy. That’s the only requirement.”
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in the venue. Everyone frowned.
Li Zhen smiled and said: "Mr. It is announced to the world that you still have the patent, and everyone in the future will know that you discovered this phenomenon."
Xing Fu interrupted impatiently: "I don't care, that's the future, it's too long. I only know that my discovery will bring me huge immediate benefits, and I don't want to announce my hard work to the world."
Li Zhen smiled and said: "The Jiuzhou Science and Technology Award is voluntary and independent. Mr. Xing Fu can also choose not to participate, or he can observe and consider it first."
