In the entire auditorium, all the scholars did not come back to their senses for a while.
They were all shocked by this third first prize winner.
Just the fact that three first prizes were awarded at once surprised them, not to mention that the third winner was actually Li Mu.
Because Li Mu is too young.
Comparing the other two teams, they were both led by academicians, and both academicians were unknown how old they were compared to Li Mu.
What's more, the project for which Li Mu won the award was an individual award.
The first two award-winning projects are both teams led by academicians. According to the list of winners, there are four people in each.
But now the only winner of Li Mu's first prize project is Li Mu.
Of course, this is mainly due to the particularity of mathematics topics.
However, this also aroused the envy of almost all the scholars present.
This is the first prize of the National Natural Science Award!
Since the establishment of the National Natural Science Award in 1956, there have been no more than 100 first prize winners. How can Chinese scholars not be envious of such a huge honor?
Countless eyes were cast on Li Mu, and finally, the applause sounded slowly, as if people had remembered him, and finally like a tide, it gradually resounded throughout the entire auditorium.
No matter what, Li Mu's youth or anything else cannot conceal the great significance of the proof of the Hailstone Conjecture to the mathematical community.
A problem that has been discussed by so many famous mathematicians around the world for decades. If this is not enough to win the first prize, it will be a joke.
However, Li Mu, who was sitting in his seat at this moment, was still a little confused.
Did you just win the first prize?
Is this the surprise Hu Yunping told him that day?
It came quite suddenly.
In fact, he originally thought that it would be a surprise to win the first prize of the Science and Technology Progress Award, because the Science and Technology Progress Award is slightly lower than the Natural Science Award and the Technology Invention Award, so the strictness of the award evaluation is lower. Including special prizes that have never been awarded in the Natural Science Awards, the Science and Technology Progress Awards are awarded almost every year.
Now, he could only sigh in his heart that this surprise was indeed a surprise enough.
Academician Yue Lang, who was sitting next to him, was also smiling and applauding Li Mu. It was very honorable to have such a student.
Think about it, when chatting with old friends in the future, if you mention that your student is Li Mu, you will probably gain a lot of envy.
Seeing that Li Mu was still sitting in his seat, he stopped applauding, patted Li Mu on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and receive the award."
Li Mu finally recovered from the surprise, then stood up, smoothed his clothes, and walked up quickly.
Amid applause, he walked to the rostrum - in a sense, it was a veritable rostrum.
Arriving in front of the boss.
"Congratulations, Li Mu. In fact, many of your achievements are worthy of the first prize. However, in the end, you chose the Hailstorm Conjecture as your winning project. I hope you can make more outstanding achievements. "
Taking over the certificate of the first prize of the National Natural Science Award from the boss, Li Mu also solemnly replied: "I will continue to work hard."
"Very good." The boss smiled and nodded at Li Mu: "Of course, I also look forward to the day when you return from studying abroad."
Li Mu responded solemnly: "I will."
Indeed, as Hu Yunping said at the beginning, there are many big guys paying attention to him...
Subsequently, the same group photo was taken, and then he also walked off the stage amidst applause.
Next, it was finally the second prize’s turn. Because there were so many people, the second prize did not come one by one like the Supreme Science and Technology Award and the first prize. After reporting all the winning projects and their team leaders, they were asked to come on stage one by one. Receive the award.
In this way, the Natural Science Award passed and it was the turn of the Technology Invention Award.
The Technical Invention Award and the Natural Science Award have the same level, but they are mainly in application.
Soon, as all the technical invention awards were awarded, it was finally the turn of the science and technology progress award.
This award has also made many people look forward to it.
“This year’s Science and Technology Progress Award, a total of three special prizes will be awarded, including one for general projects and two for special projects.”
Everyone in the audience was suddenly surprised.
Although it is not surprising that there are special prizes for the Science and Technology Progress Award, there are actually three special prizes this time, which is indeed quite a lot, just like the Natural Science Award just now.
As for the special projects in the special prize, generally only the winner will be announced, and the specific project content will not be explained, because the special projects are basically applied in national defense technology and are confidential technologies that cannot be disclosed.
But being able to win the special prize must also show that the results of this project are very important.
As for general projects, they can be made public.
The scholars present could not help but wonder which general project would win this special prize.
The host quickly revealed: "The general projects that won the special prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award are - electronic power mechanism and two types of conductor interface reaction mechanism!"
“The winners are Li Mu and Wu Mengyuan from Shanghai Jiao Tong University!”
"Their results not only explained the electronic power mechanism from a mathematical perspective, but also revealed the microscopic mechanism of the electrochemical reaction process, strengthened the chemical community's understanding of conductor interface reactions, and the methods used in it have contributed greatly to the world's chemical community. All have played a guiding role and are major achievements with reform significance in the chemical community."
“Now, let’s invite the two winners to come on stage to receive their awards!”
At this time, everyone in the audience was stunned again.
Li Mu actually won another award, and this time it was a special prize?
Even though this is the special prize of the Science and Technology Progress Award, it is still a special prize!
Why is this?
However, among the scholars present, as long as they study chemistry, especially theoretical chemistry and electrochemistry, they could not help but sigh at this time.
They all know the importance of the results of this project in chemistry, so although Li Mu won this award, although it was unexpected, it was also reasonable.
Only that Wu Mengyuan...
Chemists can only lament his good luck.
Mu De, why weren't they invited to the team by Li Mu?
Applause gradually sounded. No matter what, the facts have been established, and the scene that should be there must still be there. Didn't you see that the big guys sitting on the podium all applauded?
Of course, others were surprised, including Li Mu and Wu Mengyuan.
They did submit the project, but they never expected that they would win a special prize.
Wu Mengyuan clearly remembered that his mentor at the time said that it would be best to win a first prize in natural science, or a first prize in the Science and Technology Progress Award, but he never expected that it would be a special prize.
Finally, thinking of Li Mu, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, he was once again taking advantage of his students.
