"That's right," Director Qian nodded, and continued, "This academician's title is not important to him at all. His opinions can already influence high-level decisions, and the support he can get from the national level is not ordinary. It’s all an academician can get. Even if he has an additional academician title, it will at best be the icing on the cake for him.”
The election results are inspected and confirmed by the standing committees of each academic department, which is the so-called review. After being reviewed and approved by the standing leadership body of the Academician Conference, it will be notified in writing to all academicians.
In his original idea, being an academician of the Academy of Sciences was a stable one. After all, he had always positioned himself as a mathematician, but he did not expect that the old professors from the Academy of Engineering would also recommend his name.
However, although it is indeed worthy of celebration, Lu Zhou himself did not pay too much attention to the selection of academicians. He only smiled and praised Wang Zengguang of the Nuclear Industry Group, Li Jiangang of the Luyang Institute of Physics, and Xiang Xiang of the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Huanan and several other senior academicians edited an email and sent it to express their gratitude.
Wang Shicheng: "..."
So the question arises. On the premise that the Academy of Engineering will definitely give him the academician title, is it necessary for the Academy of Sciences to give it to him
In the future, we will develop biosphere b, c, d and other series for the Martian environment and other special outer space environments, and develop life support devices for colonists to live in specific planetary environments.
Therefore, at this time, all departments and departments are almost breaking their heads for the few places available.
After finishing the specific work of the "Tinder" project, Lu Zhou, who still had things to deal with when he returned to Jinling, did not stay in the desert for too long. He left the camp in the same jeep he came with the next day. After returning to Urumqi, I took the train back to Jinling.
However, the trouble is that this big guy is so awesome that his name has been included in the preliminary list of both the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering.
but…
There are scholars who serve as academicians of both academies at the same time, but two academician titles were awarded in the same year...
Needless to say about the Academy of Engineering, the Chief Designer of the Controlled Fusion Project is basically a sure thing to be selected into the Department of Energy and Mining Engineering. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to join the presidium of the Department after waiting for two or three years. At least he is a candidate. Dean of the department or secretary-general of the committee.
The situation on Lu Zhou's side was somewhat different from that of others.
Although the launch of Xiangrui was successful, there are still many areas worthy of improvement.
There are no major violations of laws and disciplines, academic misconduct, or style issues. Basically, there will be no problems in the review process. After passing the review, there will be a secret ballot. As long as the candidates receive no less than two-thirds of the votes cast, they can be elected in order according to the number of votes received in their department, until the quota is full.
Every time it is the academician election year, the most troublesome thing is the standing committee of each academic department.
This was the second headache for him.
The next launch mission is planned just before the Spring Festival. The time left for him is very tight and there is no extra time to waste.
Since any slight disturbance may lead to unpredictable consequences of the experiment, the biosphere must be built in a restricted area of life away from living animals and exclude outside interference to the greatest extent possible.
There is no more suitable location for this artificial biosphere than the desert in the center of the basin.
Deferring him for one term would be a good choice...
Many professors with very senior qualifications are still waiting in line, and some of them have made significant research achievements. It is hard not to think too much about receiving two academician titles at once.
"Let me guess," Director Qian smiled and asked, "Is it about Lu Zhou?"
Just when Lu Zhou returned to Jinling and held a meeting with the designers of the Auspicious Cruise, Academician Wang Shicheng, director of the Department of Mathematical Physics, who was responsible for the recent selection of academicians, came to the office of the Academic Affairs Bureau of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Wang Shicheng didn't answer, put the tea cup on the table, and said simply.
Director Qian shook his head: "I think you think this issue is too complicated."
"This is not an easy matter to handle."
Director Qian: "No, I mean... Whether he is elected or not is not important to him, but it is important to us."
Wang Shicheng: "Complicated?"
There is no need to guess, it must be these people who recommend themselves to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The review must adhere to standards, follow the principles of fairness and objectivity, and conduct a comprehensive and scientific evaluation of candidates.
As long as you get the title of academician, it means you gain both power and status. No matter which university or research institution you are in, you can basically go anywhere.
Although I don’t really care about the selection results, I still need to thank the recommender. This is both polite and human.
According to the academician selection process, after the list recommendation is completed, the standing committee of each academic department organizes academicians to review and elect the candidates.
If something goes wrong, not to mention that half of China's nuclear power generation people don't agree, I'm afraid they won't be able to pass the presbytery.
The domestic academic community is relatively closed and forms its own system. For most locally trained scholars, it is quite difficult to obtain a higher-level honor internationally, and the title of academician can be said to be the ultimate goal for more than 99% of scholars in domestic academic circles. .
Stopping the pen in his hand, Director Qian of the Academic Affairs Bureau, who was sitting behind his desk, asked his secretary to pour a cup of tea for Academician Wang and said with a smile.
However, although Lu Zhou was very relaxed and left the matter of academician co-optation aside, many people were troubled for a while because of his name.
The first phase of the project is the foundation part, and welded stainless steel will be used to isolate the ground in the enclosed area. The second phase of the project mainly involves the construction of the support part. Tensile and compression-resistant steel will be used to support a six-grid steel skeleton for the entire hemispherical artificial biosphere. As for the third phase of the project, double-layer special glass will be installed on the bracket, and special coating will be applied to the outer layer to coordinate with the cooling tower to balance the temperature in the biosphere.
Wang Shicheng stopped talking.
It took Lu Zhou three days to investigate the nearby geological environment. During this period, he consulted the suggestions of Professor Hu and another geologist. Finally, Lu Zhou made a decision and chose the location of Biosphere A of the "Fire" project in a building. Close to roads and near sand dunes with sparse vegetation.
"What else could it be for?"
Looking at Director Qian sitting behind his desk, Wang Shicheng paused for a moment and then continued: "I heard that someone at the Academy of Engineering also recommended his name. I was thinking about whether to suppress his application first. It’s staggered away from the Engineering Academy.”
Looking at these three emails, Lu Zhou felt dumbfounded for a moment.
This is too exaggerated.
Probably because they knew it couldn't be torn apart, or because there was no shortcoming to expose, all the candidates tacitly put this guy aside and ignored it. Logically speaking, this is a good thing. In the end, just go through the motions and let everyone vote and award the title to him. There won't be any controversy anyway.
The cloudy pupils flickered slightly, and Wang Shicheng pretended to be careless and asked: "What do you mean... it doesn't hurt to push back."
But the brilliance of the Nobel Prize and the Fields Medal is so dazzling, and coupled with the weight of the Lingyun Medal, no one is suitable to brush him off. After all, let alone China, even if you look at the entire international community, it is basically impossible to find a scholar with a more dazzling aura than him.
The total investment of the entire project is as high as 1.5 billion RMB, of which 1.3 billion is supported by 41 national vertical project funds, and the remaining 200 million is provided by Star Technology. Relative to the entire moon landing project, this fund only accounts for a smaller part, but its significance is extremely important.
Fortunately, China has a vast territory and rich resources, so it is easy to find a place like this.
Not to mention turning against each other and becoming enemies, it is common for them to expose each other's shortcomings.
"Oh," Director Qian smiled and asked, "Then help me think about which young talent from Yanda University is more suitable than Professor Lu?"
After doing these things, Lu Zhou turned his attention to the space shuttle.
It's quite a coincidence. Almost as soon as he got off the bus from Jinling, Lu Zhou received emails from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Engineering, and the University of Jining, and learned that his name appeared on the preliminary list of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering respectively. .
After picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Wang Shicheng sighed.
The entire Tinder Plan project is divided into three phases.
"Why are you suddenly free to come to my place today?"
"I was thinking that no choice was suitable, so I came to discuss with you. Whatever you think is more appropriate, then do it." Unable to think of a solution, Wang Shicheng decisively kicked the ball to Director Qian .
JJTU has not produced an academician for many years, and several of the treasures of the Academy of Physics are already in their 70s or 80s. This time Lu Zhou's name entered the primary election for the co-optation of academicians of the two houses, which is undoubtedly a matter worth celebrating for JJTU.
