The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 268 Drunk
With so many people going on stage together, the more empty seats originally reserved on the podium can be put to use.

There were 225 people in total, and there was a certain distance between each person, so that the leaders could give each of them the Japan-Making Medal when they presented the awards later.

At this time, several carts were pushed up, each of which was filled with medals.

They are exactly the medals of the sun.

The size of the Sun Medal is not as large as the Sun Medal and the Sun Ring Medal, but its exquisiteness is just as good.

Its overall design resembles a tortoise shell, which is actually derived from the design of oracle bone inscriptions. There is still a sun in the middle, but it is a hieroglyphic sun, which makes it look more ancient.

If you look more closely, you can find that there are oracle bone inscriptions carved on this "tortoise shell".

If this medal were buried in the ground and then dug out by someone after a while, people would probably suspect that they had dug up some treasure from ancient times.

Of course, don’t worry even if you can’t understand these oracle bones, because the translation is written in running script on the back: With this medal, we commemorate the day when it was created by mortals, and its makers.

In this way, people can also clearly know what this medal is used to commemorate.

Of course, this shape also represents the realization of nuclear fusion and the ignition of an artificial sun, which, like those ancient legends, can be called a mythical feat.

For a moment, more than two hundred people cast their eyes on these medals, as if they were looking forward to them.

At this time, the old leader also came over, followed by Xiao Yi, and the two began to put medals on the researchers and engineers of the Sun-Making Project.

Xiao Yi introduced each person's name and the positions they held in the project to the old leader, and the old leader shook hands with each person and said thank you for your hard work.

There are more than two hundred people, and everyone is included.

It was at this time that all members of the Sun-Making Project realized that their chief designer not only remembered each of their names, but even knew each of their positions.

Working is not like school.

When we were in school, when the teacher handed out homework or called the roll, we gradually got to know each other.

But work is completely different. People from different departments may rarely meet each other. As for a top leader like Xiao Yi, it is even more rare for him to know all of them, not to mention even remembering the positions of each of them.

For a moment, these researchers and engineers were deeply moved.

Awarding medals to more than 200 people naturally took quite a lot of time, so in the end it was getting a little late, so other leaders came over to pin medals on the remaining people.

Of course, the old leader still insisted on shaking hands with everyone and asked Xiao Yi to introduce each person to him.

Finally, all the awards were given to everyone except Xiao Yi.

Only Xiao Yi was left.

Back to the first row, Xiao Yi rejoined the queue.

The old leader walked up with a smile, put the Japanese Medal on Xiao Yi personally, and then shook hands with him.

"Master Xiao, I still have to say thank you in the end."

“It’s all for the country.”

The old leader smiled and nodded, and finally stood next to Xiao Yi, and then took a final photo together.

……

With the awarding of the Sun-Making Medal, the commendation ceremony for the Sun-Making Project has also come to an end.

It also means that this National Science and Technology Awards Conference has come to an end.

Afterwards, the related news spread like wildfire.

Today's Chinese people have become more and more interested in science and technology. Of course, they are also becoming more and more aware of the importance of science and technology. Perhaps this has become the case since the chip incident that year.

Now, the country's science and technology is developing more and more vigorously, and great progress has been made in various technologies. Even the chips that have been a bottleneck before can now be produced.

Therefore, based on the pride in national science and technology, people have become more and more concerned about various things related to national science and technology.

Therefore, as soon as the news about the National Science and Technology Awards Conference and the Day-Making Plan Commendation Conference was broadcast, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

First, the news about the highest science and technology award immediately topped the hot search list.

Unsurprisingly, the two winners received all kinds of attention.

Among them, Xiao Yi's name and photo are particularly eye-catching.

Many netizens were shocked.

No way, they didn't see it wrong?

God Xiao, actually won the country’s highest science and technology award?

Are you really not kidding?

Isn’t it said that the country’s highest science and technology award is generally only won by scientists of the older generation?
Looking at the photos of the two winners put together, one is already nearly 80 years old and looks quite old in the photo, while the other one is very young...

It doesn't feel like they can be put together.

All of a sudden, all kinds of comments appeared on the Internet.

[So, Xiao Shen is actually an old scientist in his seventies or eighties, and the country already knows this, but he has a beauty technique, so he looks like a young man in his twenties? ]

[What the hell is this beauty-preserving technique? Can this technique keep your face from 70 to 80 years old to your 20s? Are you treating this as a novel about cultivating immortality?]

[After ruling out all possibilities, the most likely possibility is that God Xiao is actually an immortal being who has lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and the academic issues he has been studying have actually been around for thousands of years, and he just brought these things out in the 21st century?]

[Don’t say it, don’t say it! 】

[Thanks to the inspiration provided by netizens, I will start a book called "I have lived for 21 years and started a technological revolution in the st century"]

【Books without stores】

[Hurry up and write a ten-dollar one. ]

[Although I know that the above people are joking, but when I saw these two photos, I still couldn't help but doubt it. ]

[That's right, if you don't doubt it, you're not human. ]

【…】

Undoubtedly, these two photos formed a sharp contrast, which made most netizens feel a huge gap.

However, this sense of gap was quickly forgotten by them. After all, God Xiao was their God Xiao, not the God Xiao of other countries. That was the fact, and they just needed to be happy.

Then, people's attention was attracted by the following news.

The news of several major awards, including the Natural Science Award, Technological Invention Award, and Science and Technology Progress Award, once again attracted a lot of attention.

However, following closely behind these news came the news about the Commendation Conference for the Japan-Creating Project.

This is also the news that makes netizens most excited.

Especially the Order of the Sun that Xiao Yi received, its gorgeous shape made people wish they could wear it themselves.

The relevant central media also have detailed information and photos about the Order of the Sun. As these information and photos are released, more people are amazed.

[Medal of the Sun] immediately topped the trending searches, just like when the Medal of the Republic was first released.

For a moment, netizens once again rushed to comment.

[Oh my god, this medal is so beautiful, isn't it? ]

[So cool, almost the same as the Medal of the Republic]

[It's not that they are not much different, they are completely of the same grade. And look at this seal chain, the patterns are completely different, they seem to be all oracle bone script, right? ]

[Yes, you read it right, it is the oracle bone script. Doesn’t it say the design inspiration above? It is to imitate the feeling of a myth. The sun was created by mortals. It is a myth created by modern people. It feels like this.

The combined meaning of the oracle bones on the Medal of the Sun is: Interpreter of science and technology, Leader of civilization, Pioneer of energy, Creator of the sun, Conqueror of the universe.

This is roughly what it means. Some of these characters may not be included in the currently known oracle bone inscriptions, but they are basically the same. 】

[Awesome, I don’t know how awesome it is]

[Wo Ri, the creator of the sun, the conqueror of the universe, it sounds awesome. ]

[Can this thing be reproduced? ]

[I still want to copy it. These are national awards. Do you see the national emblem on the medal? If you copy it, you will be breaking the law, just like the Medal of the Republic. ] [Fuck, no wonder I can't find any counterfeit Medals of the Republic. It turns out it's illegal.]

[Doesn't that mean there is only one Order of the Sun in the entire world? ]

[If you want to find a medal with the same name, I think there are a lot of them, but if you want to find one related to nuclear fusion and looks like this, there is really only one in the world. ]

[Oh my god, I'm afraid it won't come down without three or four thousand, right? ]

[Three or four thousand? I'll just say a number, tens of thousands! ]

[If Xiao Shen runs out of money someday and sells this thing, how much money will he make? ]

[Just kidding, don't worry about this kind of thing. There is no way that Xiao Shen will be without money. Even if he is, the country will support him. Don't worry.]

[That’s right. 】

[This is an achievement equivalent to the two bombs and one satellite. Need I say more? ]

[But then again, Xiao Shen is so rich now. When I look at his photos, I don’t see any luxury goods on him. It seems that in a photo he took in the past, the watch he wore was just a smart watch from Huazi? ]

[That can't be helped. If I were a little extravagant, I would be criticized by some netizens. Moreover, I feel that Xiao Shen has no such need at all. Basically, Xiao Shen's pursuit is all about scientific research.]

[That’s true. ]

【…】

People have always maintained their enthusiasm in discussing the Order of the Sun, and the subsequent Order of the Sun Ring and Order of the Sun have also attracted more attention.

The design of the Sun-Making Medal has also been more popular among people, and has also brought more interpretations.

For example: using such an ancient and mysterious style to commend such advanced technological achievements as nuclear fusion also represents China's long history, which has always been proudly at the top of the world's nations. It has only declined for about a hundred years. Now that technology such as nuclear fusion has been developed, the future situation is almost very good.

Or in other words: Although China has achieved such tremendous achievements now, it has never forgotten its long history and culture. After all, myths and legends are a kind of culture. So this is called the flourishing of both science and technology and culture.

Such interpretations.

Of course, no matter what the interpretation is, it represents people’s yearning.

It is unknown whether the designer has thought of this extent.

……

While people across the country were discussing the Science and Technology Awards Conference, the celebration of the Sun-Creation Project had not yet ended.

And this time it is an official celebration banquet.

All the staff were invited to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse for a banquet.

Then quite a number of leaders also attended the banquet, and the old leader also delivered a banquet speech.

Xiao Yi also gave a speech.

Of course, it's nothing more than some words of encouragement.

Afterwards, the old leader toasted with a glass of tea instead of wine and then left.

The rest of the people started celebrating.

Although Xiao Yi doesn't drink alcohol normally, he can't help but drink a lot of wine in such occasions under the toasts of everyone.

To be honest, his alcohol tolerance was just average, and he got drunk not long after.

Fortunately, after he got drunk, he didn't make a fuss, he just staggered a little when he walked.

At this time, the people present realized that their Chief Engineer Xiao was indeed just an ordinary person.

Get drunk too.

As the banquet ended, Xiao Yi, with the help of Wang Li, got into the car and returned to the hotel.

After getting out of the car, Wang Li looked at Xiao Yi and said, "Professor Xiao?"

"I listened."

Xiao Yi said.

Wang Li showed a strange expression: "Professor Xiao, you were not pretending to be drunk just now?"

"Of course." Xiao Yi said calmly, "I'm definitely not drunk."

Then he took a step forward.

As a result, his body fell to one side.

Wang Li was helpless and said, okay.

All I can say is that their Chief Engineer Xiao, even when he was drunk, still looked like a scholar.

The premise is that there is no movement.

"Professor Xiao, come on, you should go back and rest first."

At this moment, a voice came from the front: "How much did he drink?"

Wang Li looked up and saw Luo Mingya coming over.

This hotel is where the Science Island Laboratory team stayed when attending the National Science and Technology Awards Conference. Now Luo Mingya is also a member of the Science Island Laboratory, so she came along as well.

And it was Wang Li who told Luo Mingya to come down.

"Anyway, I drank a lot." Wang Li thought for a moment and said, "It must be nearly twenty cups, probably more than three or two ounces."

"This..." Luo Mingya shook her head helplessly: "I have never seen him drink so much."

Wang Li also nodded and said, "Me too."

He has followed Xiao Yi for several years and has never seen Xiao Yi drink.

No one could force him to drink.

As for today…

I guess I can only say that I was too happy.

"Take him to the room first."

Luo Mingya said, "I'll go ask the front desk if there's any hangover cure."

"Okay." Wang Li nodded.

Xiao Yi next to him still looked very calm when he was supported, and his face did not turn red after drinking, so he looked like nothing had happened.

He just said: "I don't need it, just take a nap."

Luo Mingya rolled her eyes and said, "You never drink, but you drank so much. Alcohol will harm your body."

Xiao Yi stopped talking.

Then Wang Li took him back to the room.

After a while, Luo Mingya also came, bringing with her some hangover-relieving oral solution.

Wang Li saw her coming and said, "Miss Luo, please take care of Professor Xiao first. I will go out to find some hangover remedies. I remember there is a store nearby that sells hangover tea that is very useful. I will go and look for it."

Luo Mingya nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your help then."

Wang Li smiled and said, "It's not a problem. I'm here to serve Professor Xiao."

Then he left the room, closing the door behind him.

After he went out, he looked at the door and thought to himself, "Professor Xiao, I hope you can give me some help. This is all I can do. The leader asked me to do this, so please don't blame me."

Then he ran to another room.
