Super Copy of Great Power Technology

Academician Song is a professor and doctoral supervisor at the School of Optical Engineering of Peking University. His main research area is nano gratings. Back then, Academician Qi led a group of academicians to undertake the research and development of EUV lithography machines, including Academician Song. Later, the EUV lithography machine was successfully developed, and the first prototype was sent to Rockchip Fab for production testing. Academician Song was on site, and it was at that time that Qiao Ruida met Academician Song.

Academician Song introduced several old professors around him to Qiao Ruida. It is said that birds of a feather flock together. Those who can stand with Academician Song and chat and laugh are not simple people. After the introduction, wow, these people are either academicians or authorities in a certain field in China, the kind of people who can write textbooks. Is this the circle of friends of the academician boss? It is indeed invincible enough. Several old professors have heard of Qiao Ruida, a rising star, for a long time. This is the first time they have met formally. After a few polite words, they quickly became familiar with each other and the topics of chat became much more casual. From the latest scientific research progress, to industry prospects, to paper review, recruiting graduate students, etc. Qiao Ruida also participated in the chat with several old professors. Every time he spoke, he hit the point. Some of the suggestions he put forward sounded a bit unreliable, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that they made some sense. After several consecutive times, everyone no longer looked down on Qiao Ruida.

While they were chatting, other experts and professors who were attending the awards ceremony arrived at the Peking University auditorium one after another. At the agreed gathering time of 12 noon, at least 60 people had gathered in the auditorium. The vice president in charge of leading the team stepped out, counted the number of people, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's get on the bus and head to the auditorium to attend the National Science and Technology Awards Conference."

A group of 65 people walked out of the Peking University auditorium and boarded two minibuses to leave the Peking University campus and head to the venue of the award ceremony, the Great Hall. The road conditions were still somewhat congested, but fortunately the distance was relatively short, and they finally reached their destination in more than half an hour.

Qiao Ruida has been to the Great Hall more than once, but every time he sees it, he is still in awe. From a distance, the Great Hall is magnificent, with columns standing tall. Under the sunlight, the exterior walls are particularly solemn, and every brick and tile reveals a heavy sense of history. The surrounding environment is clean and quiet, as if telling the glory of the past and the hope of the future. The golden decorations and white marble complement each other, showing ingenuity and majesty. It is not only a treasure of architectural art, but also a witness of Chinese history. Many important meetings that determine the fate of China were held here.

After the guards checked their identities and invitation letters, they were allowed to enter. A staff member came over and led the Peking University professor team into the Great Hall. After they passed through the central hall and entered the 10,000-seat auditorium, their vision suddenly opened up.

The 76-seat Great Hall is the world's largest auditorium, 60 meters wide, 34 meters deep, and 18 meters high. It is located in the center of the Great Hall. In front of the auditorium is the rostrum, which has three floors, is 36 meters high and 70 meters wide. There is no pillar in the entire auditorium, and the rostrum can be clearly seen from any angle. The dome design is in the middle of a huge five-pointed star lamp, like a huge ruby, surrounded by a pattern of 40 rays of light and sunflower petals, and a three-ring water wave-style lamp trough, forming a design aesthetic of "water and sky in one color". There are also calligraphy works hanging on the wall, showing the breadth and depth of Chinese culture.

The staff took the Peking University professor team to the designated area in the front row to sit down. Peking University is one of the top two universities in China, with strong faculty and scientific research capabilities. It can be ranked in the top ten among a number of professional scientific research institutes. Therefore, the seats allocated to Peking University professors by the organizers of the conference are certainly not too bad. In front of them sat the Chinese Academy of Sciences team, on the left sat the people from the Science and Technology Commission, and on the right sat the old enemy, the people from Huaqing University. Peking University and Huaqing, two top universities, have always been in a competitive relationship. The two sides often fight for the title of the first university in China. But that is a matter between the schools and has nothing to do with these experts and professors. In fact, there are still many scientific research cooperation projects between the two universities. Everyone knows each other and has cooperated on several projects. After Academician Song sat down, he greeted several academicians from Huaqing next to him and started chatting.

"Old Geng, your Huaqing University has selected several scientific research projects for awards this year. Are there any particularly outstanding ones that can win big prizes?" Academician Song asked curiously.

"We were lucky this year. Several long-term research projects have produced results, so we selected a large number of projects, a total of 20. However, there are not many that can guarantee awards, only about five or six. The most impressive one is an excimer laser project, which should be able to win the first prize for technological invention. How about your Peking University? How many projects have you selected and submitted? How many are sure to win awards?"

"Hey, our Peking University is really impressive this year. We have applied for 25 projects in total, including a controlled nuclear fusion project. We are sure to win at least a special prize, and we may even get a chance to win the National Highest Science and Technology Award."

"Old Song, you are not bragging, are you? When did your Peking University launch the controlled nuclear fusion project? How come I didn't know about it? Controlled nuclear fusion is a bottomless pit of money. Even if you throw billions into it, it won't even produce a bubble. How much research funding do you have in Peking University each year? How can you possibly carry out a controlled nuclear fusion project?"

"If the school doesn't have enough money, can't we raise funds on our own? Let me tell you, there is a graduate student at Peking University who not only has incredible scientific research capabilities, but also has outstanding business talent. He started his own business from scratch when he was a freshman and founded a company called Ruida Technology. Now six years have passed, and the original startup company has grown to a trillion-dollar scale and has been upgraded to a group company..."

Academician Song was about to continue speaking when Academician Geng from Huaqing University interrupted him. "Old Song, stop talking. You are not talking about Qiao Ruida, are you? The controlled nuclear fusion project was also independently developed by him and his Ruida Group. I have read his papers on controlled nuclear fusion. They are indeed meaningful and brilliant, but this is Mr. Qiao's ability. What does it have to do with your Peking University?"

"How can it be unrelated? Mr. Qiao is still a graduate student at Peking University. Isn't it natural for Peking University to help him apply for scientific research projects and participate in awards? Mr. Qiao received six years of systematic education at Peking University and learned a lot of advanced scientific research knowledge. His scientific research achievements are at least partly due to the efforts of us teachers." "Don't flatter yourself. As far as I know, Mr. Qiao majored in integrated circuits during his undergraduate and graduate studies. If he has made scientific research achievements in chip design and chip production, and you Peking University say that it is partly due to the school, I have no objection. But in terms of controlled nuclear fusion, Mr. Qiao is completely self-taught and self-funded research and development, which really has little to do with you Peking University."

Academician Song was about to continue talking, but the meeting officially began. The military band played the "March of the Volunteers" and the whole audience stood up and sang the national anthem. Academician Song had no choice but to stand up and sing the national anthem with everyone.

Then a leader came on stage to read out the "Decision of the State Council on the National Science and Technology Awards for 2016". The text was not too long and it went by quickly, and the award ceremony began. The ceremony horn sounded, and the National Highest Science and Technology Award was awarded first. When the host read out the words "Peking University, Qiao Ruida, and controlled nuclear fusion project", Qiao Ruida, who was sitting in the audience, was immediately excited. I really didn't expect that he and his controlled nuclear fusion project would actually win the National Highest Science and Technology Award, and he was the only one who won the Highest Science and Technology Award this year, which shows how much the country values ​​him.

Qiao Ruida stood up from his seat with excitement and walked to the front. The experts and professors from Peking University gave him warm applause. The scientific researchers from other units passing by looked at his extremely young appearance with various expressions, including surprise, envy, and satisfaction.

"Who is this Qiao Ruida? When did such a young expert in nuclear fusion technology emerge in China? He won the country's highest science and technology award at such a young age. Isn't this amazing?"

"You don't even know Mr. Qiao Ruida, the richest man in China. Don't you usually watch the news? The Ruida Group, which he founded, now has a market value of at least one trillion. In addition to his business ability, Mr. Qiao is also an excellent scientific researcher with a wide range of interests. He has independently developed or led a team to develop many high-tech products and technologies, such as graphene chips, graphene batteries, holographic projectors, and space planes. The controlled nuclear fusion technology that won the award this time was also developed by Mr. Qiao and his team. I heard that the controlled fusion experimental reactor that Mr. Qiao presided over the construction of has now been connected to the grid for power generation. A small fusion power station with a construction area of ​​more than ten acres has an installed power of half of the Three Gorges Project, and the fuel consumed is less than one kilogram a day. How amazing is that?"

"I was doing research and development some time ago, so I didn't have time to read the news. I didn't expect that just over a year later, a great man like Qiao Ruida emerged in China, who single-handedly completed the controlled nuclear fusion project that was always 50 years away. With ultra-low-cost controlled nuclear fusion power supply, China's economy can still develop rapidly for another 100 years."

"Yes, this is really God's blessing for China. The economic development has just slowed down, and a scientific research genius like Qiao Ruida has emerged. He can push the ship of China forward with his own strength, and continue to overcome difficulties and make rapid progress."

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, but it was all drowned out by the warm applause. Under the attention of tens of thousands of scientific researchers, Qiao Ruida stepped onto the podium and received the medal and certificate representing the country's highest science and technology award from the leaders. Then they shook hands, took photos, and gave a speech to express their gratitude for the award.

"Dear leaders, academicians, experts and professors, good afternoon! I am Qiao Ruida, a junior in the Chinese scientific research community. I grew up reading the stories of scientific research predecessors who overcame numerous difficulties and developed the two bombs and one satellite. I have been determined to become a scientist since I was a child, and have been working hard for this. When I was in elementary school, I saw my parents spend several months' salary to buy a Motorola flip phone. I thought that when I grow up, I will develop a mobile phone for the Chinese people so that they will no longer use expensive Nokia and Motorola. When I see imported cars and joint venture cars crowded on the streets, and no domestic cars can be seen for a long time, I will think that when I grow up, I will develop a car for the Chinese people so that all Chinese people can use high-quality and low-priced domestic cars, and everyone will be proud to drive a domestic car."

"When I was in middle school, I read more widely, got in touch with more information, and learned more about the backward areas of our country. For example, in areas such as chips, targeted cancer drugs, and reusable rockets, the domestic technology level lags far behind that of Western countries. I thought that when I grow up, I would develop our own advanced chips, domestic targeted drugs for treating various cancers, and our own reusable rockets, and even aerospace planes and spacecrafts, so that I can take them to the moon and beyond the solar system."

"Later, I was admitted to Peking University with good grades and majored in integrated circuits. While studying at Peking University, I met many knowledgeable professors and scientific research experts, and learned a vast amount of cutting-edge theoretical knowledge. In my spare time, I also opened an e-commerce company. With the boom of my country's mobile Internet, it grew rapidly and became one of the three largest shopping platforms in China. It earned me a lot of money and completed the original capital accumulation."

"At this point, if I had devoted myself to business, I could have relied on my capital advantages, channel advantages, and traffic advantages to continue to dig deep in the Internet field and become a successful business tycoon. But my dream since childhood was to be a scientist, not a businessman who was full of money and focused on making money. So I hired a professional manager and handed over the e-commerce company to her. I pulled myself out and devoted all my energy to scientific research. My major in college was integrated circuits, and the first product I developed was related to my major. It was an MP3 decoding chip. When it was successfully taped out and went from a drawing to a physical product, I was so excited that I danced with joy. At that time, the MP3 player market had been continuously eroded by mobile phones. Even international giants such as Apple and Four Star could not sell many MP3 player products. But I still put the MP3 player chip I designed into production, and then based on it, I designed a small MP3 player and sold it on my own e-commerce platform." (End of this chapter)
