I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 713 - 711: You’re all researching what I’ve played with and discarded.
Not until the Spiritual Body called Zhen Yezhu disappeared before their eyes did the astonishment in their hearts slowly begin to dissipate, revealing that this world was even more mysterious than they had thought.
"There's no need to look as though you are facing certain death," Zhang Menglong chuckled, "Although they are everywhere, normal people cannot see these things. Qian Sijia, you even have a very cute child on your shoulder!"
"Ah!" Qian Sijia screamed, her hair standing on end. Although she couldn't see anything, such a comment still unnerved her.
"All you know is how to bully young girls," Zhou Lao scolded with a laugh, "Now there shouldn't be any problems with that old guy Qian Miao, right?"
"Don't worry, Academician Qian should be fine now," Zhang Menglong replied, "However, he will need some time to recuperate given his current physical state. Even though I have ways to help him recover faster, as they say, all medicines have their side effects. Elixirs have almost no impact on young people's bodies, but for someone as old as Qian, I suggest it's better to stick to rest and recovery."
"Grandpa's health is more important," Qian Sijia nodded, "But this means he probably won't be able to lead the team to the academic conference in March."
"That is indeed a big problem," Zhou Lao fell into deep thought, "Among this batch of Academicians, only Academician Qian has the qualifications and ability to command everyone's respect. If we were to change the person in charge, they might not be able to control the crowd."
"Zhou Lao, is there really no one who can replace Academician Qian?"
Zhou Lao shook his head, "You know how it is, these researchers are all so proud. Unless someone has achieved something more outstanding than them, they won't respect anyone else. Qian Miao has achieved a great deal in space science, aerospace science, and nuclear dynamics. That's why everyone acknowledges him."
"But as for the others, they have only specialized in one field, so..."
"I understand, we need someone to carry the weight, right," Zhang Menglong pondered for a moment, "Well, forget it, I'll take on this task myself!"
"You? Do you mean you'll replace Academician Qian to lead the team for this seminar?"
"What else? Is there anyone more suitable?"
"This..." Zhou Lao lapsed into contemplation.
Indeed, when it comes to achievements so far, Zhang Menglong's Nobel Prize in Physics could crush them all!
Be it the National Science and Technology Progress Award or the National Outstanding Contribution Award, there's still a considerable gap in prestige compared to the Nobel Prize.
However, Zhang Menglong is simply too young, and besides the Nobel Prize and those papers published in international journals, he hasn't made any other significant contributions.
Despite contributing a vast amount of scientific data, because this information is classified, others are not aware of Zhang Menglong's achievements in other domains.
So, those old fellows might not be utterly convinced by Zhang Menglong!
"Let's do this, in a couple of days, I'll arrange a meeting for you to communicate face-to-face," Zhou Lao suggested.
"Zhou Lao, this seems like you're passing the buck!"
"Hahaha, the capable have to shoulder more responsibilities," Zhou Lao promised, "If this exchange event is completed successfully, I'll directly apply for an Academician title for you, how about that?"
In fact, with the contributions Zhang Menglong has made, this title has long been warranted!
Just those articles in Nature and Science alone are enough for him to hold a distinguished professorship at many universities. Even if he wished, the ministers of technology departments in many countries might respectfully ask him, "My dear Academician, which high position would you like to take?"
If you think about it, how many Academicians are there in a country? But how many Nobel laureates are there?
"Fine, you arrange it. This life of toil and moil, sigh..."
...
Academicians from the Yanjing University task force received eight very special individuals today, their average age only 42, but all of them already held the title of Academician.
In areas such as electronic psychology, aerospace, and physical chemistry, they were the elite among experts, and this time they were originally led by Academician Qian Miao to attend this year's academic conference.
"Wasn't the conference supposed to be in March? Why have we been gathered today?"
"I heard that Academician Qian fell seriously ill a few days ago, and his current condition isn't very good; he still needs to rest for a while. It seems they need to find someone else to lead the team."
"Find someone else? Besides Academician Qian, who else has the qualification to lead us to this academic conference?"
"I suppose only Academician Ding Xu and Academician Han Jinyu are the likely candidates. If it's someone else, I, Wang Wei, will be the first to object!" The one called Wang Wei was just over thirty, entered Yanjing University's youth class at 12, and by 18 had obtained his Ph.D. He developed polymer material processing technology that has resulted in a US Dollar multi-billion industry chain. When he was 36, he became the youngest Academician in the history of this field.
The others might have some slight differences with him, but those differences were definitely within visible range.
"Click!" The door opened, and a young man walked into the conference room.
A few scholars glanced at Zhang Menglong, "Student, you're in the wrong place. Which research group do you belong to? Is this somewhere you can just wander in?"
"Isn't this Academician Qian Miao's research group?"
"Yes, it is. Are you a student of Academician Qian? I don't recall him having a student like you," said another academician who was relatively close to Qian Miao.
"If this is Academician Qian's research group then there's no problem," said Zhang Menglong, "let me introduce myself first, my name is Zhang Menglong."
"Zhang Menglong? You are the world's richest man?" The academicians exchanged looks, "I don't remember us applying for sponsorship for this academic trip to Kaibong?"
"My goodness, each with a pride taller than the sky," Zhang Menglong said with a resigned smile.
These people had achieved heights in their forties that ordinary people couldn't reach in a lifetime. Their pride was understandable, and they had each made outstanding contributions to the nation. Even if he had to conquer them, he had to keep a sense of proportion.
"I'm not here to sponsor you," Zhang Menglong said, "This year's academic conference will be led by me. I came here today wanting to get to know all the distinguished Academicians in advance."
"You leading?"
"Hahaha! Kid, are you joking?"
"I know you are a Nobel Prize in Physics laureate, but I think your teacher, Academician Han, must have been the one leading that work, right?"
Laypeople might not understand, but as insiders, they were well aware of how difficult it is to win a Nobel Prize. Zhang Menglong had, at best, studied a few years in university, and they didn't believe he could have achieved such a result on his own. freёnovelkiss.com
They suspected it probably boiled down to buying a spot for publicity.
"So, you think I'm not qualified?" Zhang Menglong said with a sneer, "As esteemed seniors, I respect the contributions you have all made to the country. However, I hope you will show me the courtesy that should be afforded to me."
"We don't mind respecting you, as long as you prove yourself. We in research are very sincere—if you have the abilities, we'll respect you. If you don't, whether you are the world's richest man or a Nobel laureate doesn't matter to us!" said the Academician named Wang Wei.
"Unless you surpass any one of us in our own field of research, if there's even one, we'll acknowledge you!"
"Exactly!"
"Are you certain?" Zhang Menglong said, "Actually, I wanted to leave you some dignity. Forgive me for being frank, but the subjects of your research are merely what I have played around with and left behind!"
