Chapter 1028: Election of Academicians

At the end of December.

In Beijing, the election conference for the two academies was held.

After nearly a year of selection, the 2000 election of academicians, which has attracted much attention from the academic community, has finally come to an end.

With the end of the second round of selection in each department in October, the chairman's meeting finally decided on the final candidates.

With the convening of the two academies' academician conferences, after the voting of all academicians, it will be known who will be elected as academicians.

Since 1985, there has never been a case where an academician elected after voting was pulled down during the public announcement period.

After all, by the time of the second round of selection, those who were not capable enough or had not achieved strong enough results had already been eliminated.

Not to mention the academician conference!

The Chinese Academy of Engineering Academician Conference was held first, and outside the venue, a group of candidates were anxious.

Whether or not to be elected as an academician determines social status, field status, influence, and tangible benefits - scientific research funds!

In recent years, the selection of academicians has become more and more intense. In addition to the increasing number of Chinese talents, a very important reason is the benefits that the title of academician can bring.

Researchers themselves have to strive for it, units have to strive for it, cities and even provinces are also striving for it!

Different universities are competing for the number of academicians, different scientific research units are competing for the number of academicians, different provinces are competing for the number of academicians, and different cities are also competing for the number of academicians.

I don’t know when it started, but the ranking of universities, scientific research units, provinces, and cities, academicians have become extremely important indicators.

An academician can easily join any university. Universities are scrambling for it, and often offer generous conditions.

For example, in Beijing, if there is one more academician, the academician can get a single-family villa arranged by Beijing City, equipped with a car and a special driver, and given a 2 million settlement fee; in Kunming City, the condition for the academician is that he can get a single-family villa in Dianchi Lake or Fuxian Lake, equipped with a 500,000-level car and a special driver, and given a 3 million settlement fee, arranged jobs for family members, free medical care, and physical examinations twice a year.

All localities have introduced incentive policies to attract talents.

Even undergraduates can enjoy talent incentive policies, and the policy benefits for masters, doctors, associate professors, and professors are constantly improving. When it comes to national outstanding young scholars, the talent policy is enough to make ordinary people jealous.

As for the academician policy, that is the highest level!

As for being elected as an academician, the academician's scientific research projects are the easiest to get scientific research funds, not easy to be cut, and it will be easy for the academician to form a scientific research team.

In the scientific research community, academician is the highest honor, and this title originally carries huge benefits.

And once elected, it is a lifelong honor.

It can be said that for an academician, the interests are entangled beyond imagination.

Any academician is not a person, but represents a force.

This year, there are only 10 additional seats for the Chinese Academy of Engineering, but there are as many as 20,000 people who have registered for the preliminary election.

In the first round, 90% of the people were eliminated, and only 10% entered the second round, that is, 2,000 people. In the second round of screening, 95% were eliminated again, and only 100 people entered the final selection.

The academician conference is to select 10 people from these 100 people to be elected as academicians.

At this time, there are 100 academician candidates, most of whom can't sit still, walking around, with anxiety on their faces.

No one doesn't want to be elected as an academician.

The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit!

People in the world often can't escape fame and fortune. If not for profit, then for fame, and if not for fame, then for profit.     It has been like this since ancient times.

Being elected as an academician is really a matter of honor for the family, and it can be opened on a separate page in the family tree.

There are only two people here, and they are leisurely and relaxed.

The two people are Huang Qiang and Zhao Hua!

Both of them are Liu Tao's first graduate students, and they are already 40 years old. When they went to Liu Tao to study for a master's and doctoral degree, they were full of vigor and vitality at that time, and then after working, they were middle-aged and bald, but also became stronger.

Huang Qiang majored in firearms design and participated in the design of small-caliber guns. Later, he led the team to develop three types of firearms. He is a famous expert in Chinese firearms design and has enjoyed the special allowance of the State Council since 1995. In 2000, he was transferred from Panshan Group to Beijing University of Technology and served as the dean of the School of Mechanical Engineering, graduate tutor and doctoral tutor.

In the field of artillery, Zhao Hua has participated in the design of self-propelled howitzers, the development of 155mm howitzers and 203mm howitzers and other projects. He is a famous expert in the field of artillery in China.

The two were very relaxed. First, they thought they would definitely be elected. Second, they thought it didn't matter if they were not elected. They had no shortage of research funds and influence.

"Zhao Hua, I didn't expect that among all the students of the teacher, the first to be elected as academicians were Liu Ziyu and Chen Nianzhen, and even Yang Wei, who was elected as academicians later! On the contrary, our two senior brothers have only been elected as academicians now." Huang Qiang said with some emotion.

Liu Ziyu and Chen Nianzhen are three years younger than them, but they were elected as academicians seven years earlier than them. Both of them are academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, but they belong to the Department of Information and Electronic Engineering. If they are elected, they will be in the Department of Mechanical and Transportation Engineering.

Yang Wei was also officially elected as an academician two years ago, and is also an academician of the Academy of Engineering.

Zhao Hua said: "There is no way, they are too outstanding! There are indeed geniuses in this world. Didn't the teacher say before that hard work is not worth mentioning in front of talent!"

Zhao Hua is very open-minded in this regard.

In the eyes of ordinary people, he and Huang Qiang are already geniuses.

But in front of more geniuses, they seem ordinary.

Back then, the two of them persuaded Liu Ziyu and Chen Nianzhen to work in the research institute. Why start a business? How risky is it to start a business? As a result, within two years, Liu Ziyu and Chen Nianzhen became billionaires. As soon as the company went public, they were billionaires with hundreds of billions of dollars. Last year, they were even billionaires with hundreds of billions of dollars.

Liu Ziyu has been the richest man in China for many years.

Yang Wei is even more brilliant and highly valued by Liu Tao.

Calculated, Yang Wei is five years younger than them, but he was elected academician two years earlier than them.

Sure enough, when the door opened, someone congratulated Huang Qiang and Zhao Hua, congratulating them on their election as academicians.

Although they were mentally prepared, Huang Qiang and Zhao Hua couldn't help but smile brightly when they confirmed that they were elected as academicians.

Those who were elected as academicians couldn't help but get excited, while those who were not elected couldn't help but look frustrated. If they missed this year, re-election next year would not necessarily increase the probability, but would reduce it.

As for some older candidates, they couldn't help but close their eyes. They had missed this year and could never be elected as academicians again.

Unless they can make greater achievements at this age.

But it is obvious that this possibility is very small, so small that it can be almost ignored!
