Chapter 394: Immeasurable Merit

After award certificates were awarded to all the winners, the conference had passed for almost three hours. Not only had the leaders of the awards changed several times, but the audience below were also a little tired.

Not to mention online live broadcasts, there were only over one million people left in the live broadcast room that originally had tens of millions of people.

"...China's modernization is a major change unprecedented in human history. Our prospects are very bright and our tasks are very arduous."

"The greater the responsibility, the greater the career, the greater the responsibility, the greater the achievement."

"Academicians of the two academies and the vast number of scientific and technological workers, let us raise the sail of the 1.4 billion people's longing for a better life, and continue to advance toward a world technological power, toward the great rejuvenation of the nation, and toward a better future for mankind!"

After hearing this concluding remarks, everyone immediately gave warm applause and felt that the conference should have come to an end.

However, what was unexpected was that after everyone's applause slowly subsided, the old man actually spoke again:

"Finally, in order to commemorate the scientific researchers led by Academician Kang, who successfully ignited the hope for the future of the country and civilization and officially kicked off the third scientific and technological industrial revolution of mankind, after discussion and decision, February 12th of each year will be designated For the National Fire Day, it has become the 8th statutory holiday in our country!”

Wow——

When the old man announced the news, the scene immediately became excited.

No one expected that the country would set up a festival specifically for the ignition of Golden Crow 1.

And it’s also a legal holiday! !

"Holy shit, is it true?!!"

"At this moment, I just want to say one thing: leadership is great!"

"Thank you, Mr. Kang, for giving us an extra day off for all the people in the community!"

"There are 1.4 billion people in the country, and one day for each person is 1.4 billion days. Mr. Kang's meritorious deeds are immeasurable!"

"Kneel down to Mr. Kang!"

"It's only one day. Brothers, be brave. When controllable nuclear fusion plays a greater and greater role, maybe the five-day working day can become four or three days... and finally you can even go to work freely. Sometimes I go to work just to improve my quality of life and realize my self-worth. If I don’t go to work, I don’t have to worry about food, clothing or starvation.”

"Haha, how much did you drink just now?"

"Be confident, as long as Mr. Kang is here, everything is possible!"

"Although I also think that with the development of technology, it is entirely possible to work freely, but that is definitely a series in my lifetime..."

"..."

When Shou saw the last wave of viewers in the live broadcast room, he suddenly lost his sleepiness and started a heated discussion in the live broadcast room.

After the award ceremony, there was a state banquet waiting for them to reward the scientific researchers for their hard work and efforts over the past year.

"Congratulations to Academician Kang and Academician Zhong on the Ignition Festival... I didn't expect that now you will really go down in history!"

"That's right. Whenever we celebrate this festival every year from now on, we will definitely think of your contribution. This will last forever!"

"..."

As Kang Chi stole the show at today's conference, naturally many people came over to get acquainted with Kang Chi at the banquet.

And the topics they talked about were all inseparable from "National Fire Day".

Kang Chi also expressed his gratitude to those who came over and took the initiative to make friends with Dao Xi, and responded politely.

But Kang Chi also heard it,

Although they said congratulations on their lips, in fact, all they revealed in their words was envy...

After all, the words "fame will go down in history" are engraved in the bones of Chinese literati their pursuit of life.

Who doesn’t want to do something earth-shattering and great in life and be admired and worshiped by future generations...

But how many can really do it?

After the banquet, on the way back to the hotel, Kang Chi finally couldn't help but said to Chen Hai: "Actually, I didn't expect that the leader would set up a special holiday for this matter. Do you think there is something else in it? mean?"

Chen Hai suddenly smiled: "What do you think?"

Kang Chi rolled his eyes at him: "I can guess it, why do I ask you?"

Looking at Chen Hai's reaction, he knew that this guy must know something.

After all, he works in the National Security Bureau, is relatively well-informed, and ZZ is more sensitive than him...

"Well... I just made a personal guess based on some news I heard and combined with today's events..."

"Establishing one more holiday is, first of all, because this scientific achievement does have historical commemorative value, and secondly, it is also sending out a signal to reduce the burden on everyone..."

"Anyway, I heard that the labor arbitration department may be ready to take action in a while to rectify the culture of overtime and involution in the workplace, especially the phenomenon of free overtime..."

"real or fake?"

"I'm not sure about things that haven't been decided yet, but there are actually more meanings and reasons behind the matter of rectifying the workplace, so the possibility is still high."

"What's the meaning and why?"

Seeing Academician Tangtang Kang's humbly asking for advice, Chen Hai couldn't help but feel a little proud, and said with a pointing expression: "It's actually very simple."

"This matter must be viewed from two perspectives, one is the economy and the other is the workplace."

"What is the current economic situation? There is excess low-end production capacity and insufficient domestic demand."

"If you want to stimulate domestic demand, you must first let everyone have money, but it is difficult to directly distribute money. You must also know the reason. If everyone sends money, it means that there is no distribution, and it will also cause direct inflation."

"In addition, this may breed too much laziness like the previous direct poverty alleviation. I want to reduce everyone's burden, but it cannot make everyone a completely useless person. Perhaps in the future, when technological progress completely liberates productivity, Maybe it doesn’t matter if everyone works or not, but at least it’s still too early at this stage..."

"So normally the best way is to print money, cut interest rates and lend money, so that the boss can use the money to expand production and drive a virtuous cycle of economic development."

"But the question is, how do you give this money to the boss? Nowadays, many companies are very cautious in lending. Some bosses even play financial games instead of investing, spending and distributing the money after they get the money. This is It can easily lead to the phenomenon of stagflation, where inflation and deflation occur simultaneously. While prices are rising but wages are not, everyone’s economic pressure is even greater.”

"This is an economic issue, and the other, even simpler, is a workplace issue."

"On the one hand, people working are exhausted and one person has to do the work of several people, so there are complaints. On the other hand, the unemployment rate is getting higher and many people can't find jobs..."

"In this contradictory situation, rectifying the overtime culture and free overtime phenomenon in the workplace can actually directly increase the number of jobs. Not only will everyone have a job, but it will also make everyone feel more relaxed, which will help solve the problem of economic stagflation. It also helps to some extent with the deflation problem.”

"Of course, the premise for all this is that the scientific and technological productivity of society as a whole is developing rapidly, otherwise it will easily lead to inflationary bubbles."

"Okay!" Kang Chi couldn't help but smile happily after hearing this, "I don't see that you have some research on economics and sociology. Although I haven't thought about this issue carefully, in fact, our group has always been doing this. "

"Well... Speaking of which, maybe your group has also played a pilot role. I heard that they visited your group some time ago for inspection and research to understand your corporate culture and the skills development academy. I heard that they also got Focus."

"Well, that would be great if that could happen."

"Of course it can, especially after you make our technological level higher and higher, I feel that the utopian world where everyone lives in wealth is getting closer and closer to us."

"Although we are closer, there is still a long way to go..."

——

After taking a nap in the hotel, Kang Chi had no plans for the afternoon and was preparing to visit the group's Yanjing office to pay a little attention to the group's development.

But a young man who claimed to be from the Organization Department suddenly found him and told him about his parents' plans to travel to Yanjing for the New Year. He also thoughtfully sent him an itinerary and asked him if he wanted to go shopping with the old man. .

"Is this decided by my parents themselves?"

"That should be the case. It seems that your parents mentioned that they wanted to come to Yanjing to visit, so the leader made arrangements."

"Yeah?"

Kang Chi looked at the itinerary in his hand with some confusion, and seemed to smell something unusual.

But he actually knew that his parents wanted to travel to Yanjing.

It's embarrassing to say that he seemed to have promised to accompany them before, but it has been two or three years and he still hasn't fulfilled his promise...

In fact, given his current conditions, besides going abroad, wherever the two old people want to go is not a matter of just a phone call.

The only difference is whether Kang Chi has time to accompany them.

Although the two old people were somewhat interested in traveling, they always felt that traveling should be enjoyed as a family, so the matter never got further.

Now, suddenly, without consulting him, he decided to come to Yanjing, and even planned to spend the whole year in Yanjing, which inevitably made Kang Chi a little suspicious.

"When will they come?"

"It's on the way. We'll arrive tonight."

Good guy, is it so fast?

Although Kang Chi always felt that this matter was a bit strange, since they had already set off, could they still be allowed to return home halfway?

Moreover, he really had nothing to do in the past few days before the New Year. He originally planned to go home to celebrate the New Year, but now he has spent time with his parents to relax, which is actually a good choice.

After the young man from the organization department left, Kang Chi immediately called Chen Hai over and threw the itinerary to him.

"What's going on?"

Chen Hai looked at the itinerary and said calmly: "It's just normal family benefits. You have made so many contributions to the country, so it is normal for you to arrange a trip for your parents at public expense to fulfill the wishes of the elderly."

"real?"

"if not?"

Chen Hai asked about Kang Chi.

Because since Chen Hai knows everything, it means that the safety of his parents is definitely no problem.

Apart from that, he really couldn't think of anything fishy in it...

After thinking for a moment, Kang Chi finally accepted this reality.

“There are so many people in this tourist area, can safety issues be guaranteed?”

"Don't worry, it'll be fine. This is Yanjing. I can vouch for it with my head. There is no safer place in the world than here! Moreover, there are several itineraries for scenic spots where the park is closed for rest. At that time, there weren’t many ordinary tourists.”

Although Chen Hai patted his head and assured that safety would be fine, Kang Chi was still a little worried.

After weighing it over and over again, he decided to only accompany his parents to those scenic spots that were closed.

As for other crowded places, he would not join in the fun.

Because if he went to crowded places, it would definitely greatly increase the difficulty of security work. At the same time, to a certain extent, his company would make his parents' safety even less guaranteed.

After all, what those people outside wanted most was definitely Kang Chi's life.

And attacking his parents would not only be meaningless, but would anger Kang Chi and China, which would be a thankless task.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Kang Chi successfully picked up Kang Daoming and Liu Xuemei at the airport.

After seeing Kang Chi, Liu Xuemei immediately took his hand, looked him up and down to see if he had lost weight, and then said with a happy and proud face: "We all saw it on TV. Your ignition made us so proud. I just heard a lot of people discussing the ignition festival on the plane..."

"Haha, your mother was so excited just now that she almost stood up and shouted that it was her son who ignited the fire..."

Kang Chi: "..."

Although they had already eaten the airplane meal, Kang Chi still took them to eat an authentic Yanjing roast duck, and then in the next few days, he either accompanied them to various scenic spots or had various social events, and time passed quickly.

At the same time, the ignition of Jinwu No. 1 did not stop fermenting internationally, and even a farce that made China laugh and cry occurred.

Because the previous Oriental Super Ring project was an international cooperation platform, many scientific researchers from Western countries including the United States also participated in this project.

So they used this reason as a breakthrough point and filed complaints in multiple international academic organizations, arguing that Jinwu No. 1 is actually the Eastern Super Ring Project, but when the Eastern Super Ring Project was about to succeed, it kicked out all the others and changed its name. Therefore, they strongly demanded that China fulfill its obligations as an international cooperation project and take the initiative to publish all the technical details of Jinwu No. 1.

For this rude request, the International Cooperation Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology directly chose to ignore it.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs did give some response, first emphasizing that before the end of the Eastern Super Ring, it had always fulfilled its obligations as an international cooperation project, and had always maintained openness and transparency for the scientific research results within the agreed scope. Before the project was disbanded, all parties also obtained satisfactory technical results, and there was no objection to the entire disbanding process.

Finally, regarding the request to publish the technology of Jinwu No. 1, they euphemistically said:

Dream on, don't even think about it!
