Chapter 775: Elder Wu

Even Academician Xu actually voted in favor!

Academician Tong was surprised, and Academician Xu also looked over. When he looked into Academician Tong's eyes, the latter raised his chin, still with the look of a stubborn old man.

That expression seemed to say: I voted for Xu Qiu just because he has the qualifications, and it has nothing to do with you, a senior academician.

Academician Tong saw Academician Xu's psychological activities, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

But he was still shocked.

Academician Xu was also an unrivaled genius when he was young, and Xu Qiu was the only young person who could be recognized by him.

…

"Unanimous approval?"

At the headquarters of the Ministry of Health, the minister was shocked.

The director of the National Health Commission was also a little dumbfounded.

Once the recommendation qualification of the senior academician is used, the recommended person will almost certainly be elected.

But, it can only get more than 50% of the votes in favor.

There are always some academicians who are dissatisfied with this privilege, abstain from voting, or even strongly oppose it...

Before the academician candidate review meeting was held, the minister and the director of the National Health Commission knew that Xu Qiu would definitely pass, but several respected academicians might vote against it.

But they didn't expect the final result to be so abnormal!

"Even Academician Xu agreed?" The Minister of Health was shocked.

He had dealt with Academician Xu before, and the other party didn't even bother to look at him as a minister. Unexpectedly, he actually gave in on Xu Qiu's matter!

The director of the National Health Commission shook his head at this time and smiled and said: "This is not a concession. Academician Xu is an upright person, even upright to the point of being a little pedantic and out of place. The reason why he agreed was just because Xu Qiu was qualified. Even if he didn't have the veteran-level recommendation qualification of Academician Tong, Academician Xu might still nominate Xu Qiu!"

Is it really like this...The Minister of Health also reacted suddenly.

He immediately smiled and said, "Xu Qiu is indeed a rare genius. He is well-known among patients and famous among ordinary people. What's more rare is that he is recognized and respected by countless peers."

It is difficult to achieve any of these three points.

And it is almost impossible to take both into account at the same time.

For example, Academician Tong, as one of the pioneers of Daxia medicine, is only well-known among patients and respected by peers, but is not known by ordinary people outside the medical community, and his reputation is not prominent enough...

Or some Internet celebrity doctors are only active in front of ordinary people. As for how his patients and peers view him, it is likely to be negative...

"It seems that Academician Tong has wasted this quota." The director of the National Health Commission said with a smile.

Looking at this situation, even if Xu Qiu goes through the normal nomination and review process, he may be successfully elected within a few years, and there is no need to waste the only recommendation quota for the veteran academician.

The Minister of Health smiled and shook his head, saying, "Given Academician Tong's character, if he doesn't give Xu Qiu this position, he probably won't use it."

That's right... The Director of the Health Commission nodded.

If Xu Qiu hadn't been qualified to be an academician, Academician Tong wouldn't have recommended him. Although the latter wasn't as extreme as Academician Xu, he was also an upright intellectual of the older generation.

The Director said easily, "Let's prepare to issue a notice. We should also show our respect for Xu Qiu. As long as he is a talent, Daxia will use him regardless of his status!"

"That makes sense." The Minister of Health also smiled, looking more pleased than ever before.

The Academician Building of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The thunderous applause lasted for a long time, and many academicians stood up at the same time, with encouraging and appreciative eyes on the young man at the back.

Xu Qiu stood there with an unchanged calm smile, his face unchanged.

"As expected, he is the academician recommended by Academician Tong!" At this moment, a loud voice came from the side.

The venue fell into a brief silence. Academician Xu in the front row, Academician Tong on the stage and others all looked over. When they saw the person clearly, their expressions were suddenly filled with astonishment.

"Old Wu?" Academician Tong's eyes flashed with surprise.

Academician Xu's pupils also shrank slightly. He did not expect that Old Wu would come to join in the fun.

"It's Old Wu!" Other young academicians at the venue were also surprised.

"Isn't Old Wu a veteran academician of the Academy of Engineering? Why is he here!"

"Could it be..."

Everyone suddenly thought of a possibility, and their faces showed a look of surprise.

Academician Tong is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and those he can recommend are naturally academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Daxia roughly divides into three types of academicians.

One is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the other is an academician of the Academy of Engineering.

Both represent the authority in the field of science and technology in Daxia, marking the highest level of science and technology in Daxia. There is no difference in status and treatment, but the emphasis is different.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences commends talents who have made great contributions in the field of science and technology, while the Academy of Engineering pays more attention to innovative achievements in the field of engineering technology.

To put it bluntly, the Chinese Academy of Sciences are pioneers in theoretical knowledge research, while the Academy of Engineering are cutting-edge talents with breakthrough progress in engineering practice.

Above these two academicians, there is a third category of academicians.

Academicians of both academies!

That is, they enjoy the honors of both the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, also known as double academicians.

There are very few such talents. If you want to achieve world-renowned achievements in both theoretical research and engineering application at the same time, you need not only outstanding talents, but also an era with a lack of talents and extremely developed scientific and technological power.

Like the last century, when Daxia cleaned up its mess and was on the eve of becoming a powerful country, it was such a stage.

In recent years, there have been almost no double academicians.

So far, Daxia has only had 34 double academicians.

These 34 people were basically all elected before the 21st century, 30 in 1994, 4 in 1995, and no one since then!

Xu Qiu has now passed the academician review meeting of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. If he goes further, he will either move up from academician to the position of Academician Tong, or even become the head of the academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; or develop horizontally and get the academician of the Academy of Engineering, two paths running in parallel.

"Is Mr. Wu... going to nominate Academician Xu?!"

The academicians present were a little dazed.

Academician Wu is the leader in the medical field of the Academy of Engineering, and his status is similar to that of Academician Tong in the medical field of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

His sudden appearance at the academician meeting of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, what is the purpose is self-evident.

Sure enough, under the attention of everyone, Academician Wu slowly stood up, nodded to Xu Qiu with satisfaction, and then said:

"Xu Qiu has made many works and great contributions in the field of basic theory, but he has not neglected the field of engineering application. The automatic craniotomy machine, the hybrid operating room, the seaward small blood vessels and the seven-star tablets are all achievements that benefit millions of patients in the clinic...

"Of course, it is easy to get a nomination based on these alone, but it is too difficult to be elected as an academician of the Academy of Engineering.

"But Xu Qiu has ten achievements under development!"
