This night.
The whole Laoshan was sleepless again.
All the intellectuals held a book of physics nominations for the Kyushu Science and Technology Award, looking at the ten nominated people and the ten nominated scientific research results.
Everyone was in shock.
Professor Imura from Yamato was extremely shocked: "Electrolyzed water? The water actually contains such powerful energy."
"Professor, this steam turbine is so powerful. Alas, although we seem to know the principle, it seems that with the strength of our Yamato country, it is impossible to develop it."
"Yes, after all, the Kyushu Academy of Sciences has kept some contents secret. For the steam turbine, we only know the appearance and the inner working principle. But in fact, it is impossible to imitate it. Unless Yamato also has an amazing talent physicist."
"Why can't you copy it, Professor?"
Professor Imura murmured: "This involves the fluid mechanics, mechanical dynamics, and the law of conservation of energy and the law of conservation of mass that they mentioned. It seems like it is just a simple principle, but in fact it involves It is an extremely large subject support. Any small component requires corresponding data. We do not have such data. And it is actually difficult for us to study such data."
“We can do trial and error.”
"Trial and error...trial and error just mostly exists in chemistry."
"Why?"
"Do you know how much it costs to conduct trial-and-error research in physics? Trial-and-error in physics is not at the same level as trial-and-error in chemistry."
“…”
Finally, the Jiuzhou Science and Technology Award came to an end.
But the hearts of the thousand guests were hanging on. The scientific personnel had completed their mission, but they had not yet.
How to choose three people among three subjects? Every scientific research result can be described as shocking.
Qian Mao meditated all night, and he was extremely haggard: "I don't understand mathematics, so I can only rely on my feeling that inferring statistics is of great use. Who should give physics? Hot air balloons have proved the theory of human flight. The idea of airships has gone a step further. It proves the possibility of human flying, which is of great significance. However, the steam turbine will change this era. And the idea of alternating current is simply another great revolutionary significance. The electric motor... will promote a new era of power. This ...Each one has extremely huge significance. How to choose the physics prize?"
There are many people like Qian Mao who stay up all night.
In the past few days, those thousand guests have completely integrated into this era of prosperous science and have taken part in it. They all understand the huge burden they carry, and they are responsible for the future direction of Kyushu.
Which award is given to whom
This is a huge question of choice.
It's not just the thousand guests who are in trouble. The entire Laoshan County has completely fallen into a state of madness.
When intellectuals go crazy, that is something even more terrifying than a mob.
Every intellectual has received a nomination letter. Every intellectual has seen the award process and knows the significance of each award in the future. And every intellectual is enthusiastically supporting one or two of them.
One o'clock in the morning on the 3rd.
Riots outside the Kyushu Academy of Sciences.
Li Zhen and others quickly put on their clothes and walked out. Before they walked out, they heard the noise outside, the scolding of officials, and the neat and loud slogans.
A team of 1,000 people marched on the streets in the early morning, holding banners with black and white letters.
The leader was an old man with gray hair, his face flushed with excitement, and he kept waving his fists and shouting: "All the top physicists in Kyushu strongly recommend that the physics prize be awarded to the idea of alternating current!"
"All the top physics professionals in Kyushu strongly recommend that the physics prize be awarded to the idea of alternating current!"
A thousand people raised their fists and shouted in unison.
Everyone knows that the 5th is the time for the awards. These days are a time of decision-making for everyone. And every intellectual has an obsession in his heart, and whatever he believes in is the most correct thing.
When a person firmly believes that a certain achievement should win a prize, a large number of like-minded people who share the same idea with him will gather. When people get together to discuss or give advice, they are afraid that what they support will fail.
So the parade happened.
Li Zhen and Ge Qingping walked to the door with their coats on, but saw that the door of Jiuzhou Academy of Sciences was crowded. Those neat and loud slogans woke up the entire Laoshan Mountain.
At a glance, Li Zhen saw more than a thousand people sitting cross-legged at the door of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences, with banners scattered everywhere.
As soon as he saw Li Zhen coming out, the leader shouted: "Dean Li, there is a rumor that the award has been decided internally to be awarded to a hot air balloon. Think again. Alternating current is the overall trend of Kyushu in the future and will change the entire People’s livelihood in Kyushu. Dean Li, think twice.”
"Think twice!"
Li Zhen looked solemn and shouted: "I don't know where you heard the gossip from. There is no inside story. The choice is all based on personal opinions."
At this time, another pair of people marched over from the south: "The winner of the physics prize must be a steam turbine!"
Before this wave of theirs ended, another wave started again. A group of teams with many foreigners came shouting slogans: "The winner of the Mathematics Prize must be Ms. Hou Qiang's calculus tangent. This will bring great benefits to the world of mathematics." Major reform!”
“…”
When one group started marching, disagreement arose. All intellectuals have their own choices in mind, and they cannot see the people they support lose the election. When you see others going to march, you will definitely be unable to bear it any longer. You will urgently gather like-minded people and march along the street shouting slogans.
Along the way, each parade team continues to grow. Intellectuals with inclinations are constantly joining in.
The officers and soldiers were completely stunned.
In just one hour, smoke erupted all over Laoshan County, and slogans came from all directions, southeast, northwest, and resounded throughout the starry sky.
A thousand guests stood at the entrance of Jiuzhou Yuan, looking at banners everywhere at the entrance, and intellectuals with opposite opinions everywhere shouting and scolding each other, making a lot of noise.
Everyone became more nervous.
Everyone is more solemn.
They understand better the meaning of this award and the importance of the award. Everyone's decision should not be hasty, and no one should make a random decision based on their own preferences.
They have a deeper understanding of the importance of this guest status.
"Steam turbine wins prize!"
"AC wins the prize!"
"Alternating current is just an idea. Why should it win the prize? Why should something that is just a theory win the prize?"
"Fuck you uncle, do you know the greatness of alternating current? Do you know the future significance of alternating current? Are you an intellectual? Do you have knowledge?"
"Who are you talking about? Say it again!"
“…”
There was a commotion. Two groups of people, at least a thousand people, got into a scolding war. Then, the chaos became more intense, and a confrontation broke out after a small physical encounter.
Li Zhen shouted anxiously: "Quick, maintain order, don't fight!"
Yanagisawa Kei was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Thousands of soldiers were urgently transferred from the garrison to maintain order. Only then was the chaotic scene stabilized.
However, the incident intensified. Li Zhen also gradually understood that this award... cannot be given randomly.
However, it cannot be kidnapped by the public.
What should be done
Difficult.
