Section 270

The old leader patted Xiao Yi on the shoulder with a smile, and asked: "Science Island Laboratory, have you encountered any difficulties recently?"

Undoubtedly, this sentence means that if Science Island Laboratory needs help, just ask.

But Xiao Yi thought about it and really didn't know what difficulties there were.

There is money, enough people, and it is also being expanded.

The policy is inclined towards Science Island Laboratory, not to mention in the whole province, even in the whole country, it is completely sufficient.

So he simply said: "Not yet, how about I ask you when there is?"

Maybe when the nuclear fusion reactor is built, there will be a demand?

The old leader laughed at once.

If it were someone else, who would dare to ask him such a request.

However, he didn't say anything, and said directly: "No problem, you can ask me anytime."

"In addition, I heard that you are studying a very important technology recently. How is the current research situation?"

Hearing the old leader mention this matter, Xiao Yi could also feel the importance of the other party.

Yes, after all, this is nuclear fusion.

He thought for a moment and said, "It's too early to draw a conclusion, but I can say that we are very close to the first step of success."

The old leader nodded with satisfaction: "That's good, that's good."

Perhaps suddenly remembering that it was time to present the awards, the old leader took two certificates from the side and handed them to Xiao Yi in person.

Then Xiao Yi took one in each hand, facing the camera, and took a group photo.

Everyone in the audience was a little curious for a while, what exactly did they talk about just now.

But at this time, the awards had been presented, and Xiao Yi was ready to step down, so people applauded again.

Amid the applause, Xiao Yi returned to his seat, and several people next to him immediately surrounded him.

"Brother Xiao is awesome!"

"Brother Xiao, can I touch your certificate?"

"I want it too! Let me see it!"

Looking at the excitement of several people, Xiao Yi laughed and shook his head, but didn't say anything, and directly handed both certificates to them and let them look at them.

He had seen this thing three years ago anyway, so it didn't matter.

Then, the award ceremony continued.

Under the announcement of the host, another first prize in natural science was awarded.

This project is called Computational Prediction of Topological Electronic Materials. It was completed by the Institute of Physics, and the leader of the winning team was Pang Cheng, the director of the Institute of Physics.

The Institute of Physics was not far from the location of the Science Island Laboratory. When Xiao Yi heard the news, he smiled and applauded Pang Cheng.

Pang Cheng was also very surprised at this time. After noticing Xiao Yi, he nodded to him.

Speaking of which, his achievement was also related to Xiao Yi.

At first, Xiao Yi completed a project in his team, mainly studying things about FeSe/SrTiO3 single-layer superconductors. In this project, Xiao Yi provided some help in computational materials science, and finally directly helped their project to complete a big step.

And it was precisely because of Xiao Yi's help in this regard that Pang Cheng's project was indirectly successful.

At first, he wanted Xiao Yi to join the research group, but at that time, Xiao Yi was being watched by the entire physics community because he discovered the superheavy phenomenon of W bosons in high-energy physics, so Pang Cheng gave up the idea of ​​getting Xiao Yi to join.

Soon, Pang Cheng went on stage to receive the award and returned to the stage.

So far, three first prizes in natural sciences have been awarded, and the next is the second prize.

There are 48 second prizes in total. As the host reads out the names of these winning projects, the leaders of these project teams also went on stage to receive the awards.

In this way, 48 second prizes in natural sciences have been received.

The host said: "Next, the first prize of the National Technological Invention Award will be awarded!"

The Technological Invention Award is naturally a more applied award than the Natural Science Award. The latter is a theory and method, while the former is a real product, process, material and other achievements.

Those scientists who are mainly engaged in research in this area also became nervous.

Although the value of the Technology Invention Award is lower than that of the Natural Science Award, it is a very important award for them, which is related to the future awards and honors.

At the same time, beside Xiao Yi, Liu Xiaodong and others were also very nervous, looking at the host on the stage, looking forward to it.

"The first award-winning project is..."

"Key technology and equipment for chemical mechanical polishing of integrated circuits!"

Applause rang out, and everyone was equally convinced of the award of this project.

This technology is referred to as CMP polishing, which is mainly used for polishing silicon wafers to achieve the flatness of their surfaces.

And the silicon wafer is the body of the chip, also known as the wafer.

This technology successfully solved the "bottleneck" problem of China in silicon wafer polishing technology, which is considered to be a major achievement in the field of strategic issues related to chips.

The person in charge is from Qinghua University, and he quickly went on stage to receive the award.

Then, the host continued to announce the winners of other first prizes.

Until five first prizes were awarded.

"Next, the first prize of the sixth National Technology Invention Award will be awarded!"

At this time, everyone in the audience was already a little numb.

Although the first prize of the Technical Invention Award is not as valuable as the first prize of the Natural Science Award, it will be awarded basically every session.

But now five have been awarded, and there are still more?

How many important technologies have emerged in the past three years?

However, they want to know what this sixth project is!

Just when everyone was thinking this, the host revealed the answer.

"The sixth project is - lithium-sulfur solid-state batteries and corresponding new material technologies!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then became angry.

Okay, this sixth project is probably even better than the first one that solved the stuck neck technology.

CMP polishing technology allowed Huaguo to achieve a breakthrough, and this lithium-sulfur solid-state battery directly allowed Huaguo to completely dominate the battery industry.

Now that lithium-sulfur solid-state batteries have been born for six months, finished products have been produced. Although they have not yet been used on a large scale, there have been quite a few tests.

For example, in terms of mobile phone batteries, some manufacturers have already come up with concept models that can last more than three days under normal use.

These concept models have already been blown up in the industry.

In the past, the gaming industry was filled with comments that slandered and attacked each other from fans of major manufacturers. It was full of hostility. But now with the birth of these "endurance machines", the hostility has been slightly weakened, and even more so. Many people have turned their attention to these new machines.

Of course, these mobile phone manufacturers are not just focusing on extending battery life, so some manufacturers have also produced some "feature phones". These feature phones rely on more powerful batteries to pack in more sensors. It has a more powerful screen and so on, and improves the functionality of the mobile phone by squeezing more power. Therefore, this kind of mobile phone has also attracted widespread attention from consumers. After all, one day of battery life is enough, and one charge a day. The vast majority of people can still guarantee it.

Maybe, future mobile phones will be divided into two camps: endurance phones and feature phones, and then they will compete with each other.

As for the role of lithium-sulfur solid-state batteries in other fields, needless to say, whether it is electric vehicles or drones, which are fields that attach great importance to battery life, they have also expressed great interest in this new battery. expect.

For example, DJ drones will probably be able to continue to expand their territory in drones after using this new battery. After all, this new battery technology will definitely be given priority to DJs, and foreign competition will The opponent will be slightly behind.

"Oh yeah!"

As for the seats in the Science Island Laboratory, Liu Xiaodong and the others were already celebrating.

I never thought they would actually have a chance to win such an award.

This is the first prize for technological invention!

These rookies, who are not even professors, actually won the first prize that all the other experts dreamed of.

For a moment, their eyes looked at Xiao Yi as if they were going crazy, and they had a feeling of "If I don't give up, I will be my adoptive father."

The people around him also became aware at this time.

Good guy, if I remember correctly, the lithium-sulfur solid-state battery is also Xiao Yi's achievement!

This is equivalent to saying...

Xiao Yi directly won three first prizes in one conference? ?

Will anyone be able to surpass this in the future?

Everyone was shocked again.

At this time, Xiao Yi also stood up again and walked onto the stage again.

Everyone looked at his expression as if he was a little reluctant.

need tomato!

Damn it!

When he went on stage to receive the award, the old leader smiled and teased him: "Here we go again."

After receiving the award quickly, he stepped down from the stage again. As expected, the certificate was once again passed around by Liu Xiaodong and others to read.

As for the two certificates of the first prize in natural science, they were returned. After all, these two certificates only belonged to Xiao Yi, and now the certificate of the first prize in technological invention belonged to the five of them.
