Just after attending the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony, Liu Yichen returned to China. Instead of returning to Ludao, he went from the Shanghai Airport to the Beijing Airport, along with Feng Lin.

I came to the capital this time just for the purpose of co-election of academicians.

Among the previously announced candidates, Liu Yichen suddenly appeared on the list of candidates for co-optation of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"No matter how I look at you, you don't look nervous?" Feng Lin looked at Liu Yichen curiously.

This is an academician!

Academician is the highest academic title in science and technology established by a country and is a lifelong honor.

In China, the status of academicians is very high, and they enjoy deputy ministerial level treatment. Academicians are given generous treatment in various places. For example, the Shancheng Institute of Science and Technology announced that if the academicians are willing to serve in the academy and complete the agreement, the unit will provide

A house of no less than 200 square meters and a one-time settlement allowance of 2 million yuan is provided. Jizhou also provides special preferential treatment. The special living allowance for academicians in Jizhou reaches 200,000 yuan per person per year, for newly introduced and newly elected academicians.

Grant 1 million yuan in start-up funding for scientific research...

Incentive policies like this abound.

"What's there to be nervous about? I don't care about this thing!" Liu Yichen said with a faint smile.

Many people care about academicians, because being elected as an academician means that they have reached the top of the academic world and have a firm grasp of the academic voice. At the same time, their salary has been greatly improved, and there will be no shortage of scientific research funds.

But for Liu Yichen, he has all these things. In the field of mathematics, he is already a banner figure in the Chinese mathematics community, and it goes without saying that he has the right to speak. And he is the winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry and the Nobel Prize in Physics. In chemistry

The status of the world of physics is self-evident.

He won the first prize of the National Natural Science Award twice and the first prize of the National Science and Technology Invention Award.

According to the nomination qualifications for academician selection, they are generally: second prize of National Science and Technology Progress Award, second prize of natural science award or above; it takes about three rounds of selection to become an academician.

Previously, when Liu Yichen won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, the Chinese Academy of Sciences was criticized and controversial. It was complained that even the Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry was not qualified to become an academician.

Liu Yichen actually didn't think that he would be brushed off by the second rule that he needed to go through three rounds of selection before he could become an academician.

In the original trajectory, Yan Ning failed to be elected as an academician because she had not gone through three rounds of selection.

Feng Lin was speechless. If it were her, she would be extremely excited.

After all, academicians are very rare existences. There are about 1,600 academicians in the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering in total. The Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering each have about 800 academicians. It can be said that each of them is at the top of the academic world.

Thinking about this year's Nobel Prize in Physics, Liu Yichen was obviously not as happy as last year and seemed much duller.

Feng Lin could only complain, it was true that a well-fed man did not know a hungry man was hungry.

When they arrived at home that day, the two asked housekeepers to clean the room. After all, they hadn't stayed there for a while.

Living here, Feng Lin lamented Liu Yichen's foresight. The housing prices in this community had risen to 100,000 per square meter in just a few years. With its high quality, being surrounded by university towns and other advantages, this place had long been regarded as the best.

In terms of location, there may not be one transfer in a year.

On the morning of December 19, Liu Yichen arrived at the meeting place. In the morning, he held the co-election of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and in the afternoon, he held the co-election of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

"Professor Liu is here! Congratulations on winning the Nobel Prize in Physics!" Academician Wang from Shuimu University saw Liu Yichen and greeted him with a smile.

"Hello, Academician Wang!" Liu Yichen smiled and shook hands with Academician Wang. This nearly 80-year-old man was once the director of the Institute of Nuclear Energy Technology of Shuimu University and the president of Shuimu University. He is a famous scholar and strategic scientist in the field of international nuclear energy.

This time at Huaxia Jiulong University, Academician Wang recommended three of his disciples to him, which can be said to be beneficial in supporting the Nuclear Energy Technology Research Institute of "Huaxia Jiulong University".

To be honest, Liu Yichen admired this older generation of scientists very much. The research conditions in that era were far inferior to those now. During scientific research, he even had to grow his own vegetables and food to avoid starving to death.

Liu Yichen has watched the movie "Born Out of the Sky" and was deeply shocked and moved by the hard work and self-reliance of the scientists in it.

These older generation scientists don't care about rewards, don't seek fame or wealth, they just want to rise for China and no longer be bullied by foreigners. They get a meager salary a month, and even donate whatever they have in savings. They are real entrepreneurs.

Do good deeds without seeking fame or fortune.

One by one, the academicians arrived at the venue. In the field of mathematics, except for the Department of Mathematics at Yanda, all other academicians came to have a few exchanges with Liu Yichen. Then they looked at the academicians of the Department of Mathematics at Yanda and felt schadenfreude. A foolish move by Yanda back then directly eliminated the dominant team.

The mathematics department was disintegrated.

Regarding this situation, other mathematical academicians are happy to see the results.

Moreover, the establishment of 'Hua Xia Jiulong University' has caused very obvious changes in Hua Xia's higher education institutions. Although 'Hua Xia Jiulong University' is still under construction, the 'catfish effect' is already at work. Some people have resigned from Yan University and Shuimu University.

After joining the 'Hua Xia Kowloon University', Yan University and Shuimu could no longer bully their masters like before. Instead, they felt the crisis was coming and began to increase the establishment of the teaching staff and their benefits.

For these academicians, this is a good thing. Not only do they have one more option, but their disciples also have one more place to go.

It is not that Yanda did not try to prevent Liu Yichen from being elected as an academician. Unfortunately, the will of the higher-ups will not be shaken by the reluctance of the Yanda department. Anyone who knows the inside story knows that Liu Yichen's election as an academician is already a certainty.

In the first two rounds of selection, news continued to be released, and some people raised objections, thinking that Liu Yichen was too young. Although he had made good achievements, there were also many old experts who had worked hard all their lives and had been waiting in line for a long time.

If he is not elected as an academician, he will have no chance. Liu Yichen should give the opportunity to these old experts.

But there are more supporters. They believe that those who are ambitious should not be young, but those who are successful come first. Since Liu Yichen has already made achievements, he should be elected. Those who are capable should go first. This is a universally recognized principle.

Anyone who knows the inside story will know who is causing trouble behind the scenes. It's just a pity that in the face of the general trend, the Yan University Department is completely vulnerable to a single blow.

The candidates around them saw Liu Yichen chatting happily with each of the academicians, and they all looked at Liu Yichen with envy.

Academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences are elected every two years. There are no more than 60 places in each election, and there are thousands of candidates competing for no more than 60 places. You can imagine how fierce the competition is. Every person who comes to

Candidates at this level all have excellent results and are authoritative experts in the industry, but most of them will fail.

But now, Liu Yichen, who is only 23 years old, already holds a spot.

And this also means that there is one less place, and the competition will naturally be much more intense.

Liu Yichen looked at the candidates, most of whom were over 60 years old, and even over 70 years old. He sighed secretly in his heart. In fact, at this age, there is no need to run for academician, because being elected as an academician will also improve scientific research.

It won't produce any decent results, it will only increase some benefits and reputation.

He couldn't help but look thoughtful. He somewhat understood why he had been advocating the rejuvenation of academicians in recent years, allowing capable young people to be elected as academicians, instead of working hard to gain qualifications after making achievements, and in his fifties and sixties.

Re-elected as an academician.

Liu Yichen believes that China should actually learn from the West in this aspect. In the West, as long as you are good enough, it is natural to be elected as an academician, and you will not stay until the age of fifty, sixty or even seventy.

Liu Yichen sat on the sofa aside and took out a book from his bag to read. It was a mathematics book and a teaching material. So far, Liu Yichen has put forward more than 200 opinions, which either contain errors or loopholes.

A lax place.

There are also some conjectures that have been proven and should be updated as theorems instead of being introduced as conjectures.

Seeing Liu Yichen reading a book as if no one else was watching, many people felt envious in their hearts.

At this time, the agenda for co-opting academicians began in the venue. Even after the previous screening, there are still many candidates. This time, the final list of co-opted academicians must be selected from the screened candidate list. The competition is fierce.

As you can imagine, it can be said that the competition for every academician spot is very fierce.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the academician co-election conference is no exception. After all, these candidates themselves have connections with academicians. One more academician in their unit means more funds, stronger strength, and a better status in the industry.

will also rise.

Each department conducts elections according to the determined quota. The Department of Mathematics of Yanda wanted to do something more trick. As long as Liu Yichen did not get two-thirds of the votes, he would lose the election. But from the beginning, the dean of the Chinese Academy of Sciences

Conveyed the leadership's suggestions and made the final decision directly.

The result was that Liu Yichen, the first place in the Department of Mathematical Physics, was directly locked in.

Other departments are also competing fiercely. The number of places in each department is very limited, almost 9 places. Liu Yichen did not go to the Department of Chemistry or the Department of Information Technology and Science, otherwise the competition there would be even more intense.

As the quotas are locked one by one, the selection of academicians becomes more and more intense. For example, originally 100 people competed for 9 places, but as each quota was locked, it became 99 people competing for 8 places...

Even some academicians are so angry that they can’t help but bang the table and roar in various ways at the conference. After all, in such fierce competition, everyone wants to be elected as an academician. If you miss this time, you may not be elected next time.
