Chapter 159 Huaxia Should Have Its Own Nobel Prize
Next, the state key laboratories related to major universities all called, revealing their willingness for in-depth cooperation.

Wei Kang agreed one by one, promising a large amount of funding, and there is only one condition, that is, all these projects must be researched in the new Pangu Research Institute, and each key laboratory must send a backbone scientific research team.

In this way, everyone is happy.

For a long time, insufficient investment has been a common problem in most state key laboratories.

Most of the annual funds for these state key laboratories come from the state appropriation. Although the state invests billions of dollars in support every year, there are so many key laboratories in the country.

A well-done laboratory has tens of millions of funds every year, and a poor laboratory has a maximum of 200 million funds.

Inside the laboratory, the competition for funding is also very fierce. Many outstanding researchers want to study topics of interest, and funding is a big problem.

Even if some key laboratories can reach project cooperation with enterprises, most of the enterprises they rely on hope that the research results will be effective immediately and form benefits and profits. Therefore, most of the enterprises invest in applied technology research, basic theory and common key technologies Research investment is obviously not enough.

This is not conducive to the long-term development of the laboratory.

We must know that the deeper the scientific research goes, the greater the influence and industrial changes brought about by technological breakthroughs.

The deeper the roots are, the taller the tree will grow. Underlying scientific research is crucial and decisive for major breakthroughs in technological innovation.These basic researches are different from product technologies, requiring talents, investment in scientific research facilities, and long-term accumulation.

And now, Sanqing Pharmaceuticals, the big funder, has entered the arena.

As long as researchers have clear goals and can propose solid research plans, he is willing to fund them.

Of course, the premise is that the other party can conduct research in a down-to-earth manner, instead of just finding a topic to cheat funding for papers.

In this regard, he will carefully check and only select the best talents and the most important topics.

After all, what he wants is real scientific research talents who are dedicated to research.

For a long time, the domestic scientific research environment has been criticized by people. It is said that the domestic scientific research environment is too poor, causing talents to yearn for foreign countries and go abroad to do scientific research.

The most well-known issue is the issue of remuneration. There have been various scientific researchers whose salaries are too low. They have not raised their salaries for many years, so they leave for companies, and the news broke out that their annual salaries have doubled in an instant.

But this is not the most fatal problem. There are so many scientific researchers in China, and there are many talents who don't care about the salary and just want to do scientific research. However, they still can't get what they want, which leads to depression.

There are many reasons, one reason is that personal connections are more important than anything else.

Now the domestic scientific research circle has formed an indestructible class barrier after several generations of interest distribution. 1% of the bosses hold 99% of the resources. People use extraordinary means, and even the awards for project funding are based on connections rather than results.

The most nonsensical thing is that every time the big bosses fight for power and profit, the grassroots suffer and suffer.

Scientific research is the most important thing to focus on, and to spend a considerable part of your energy on making connections is often putting the cart before the horse.

Another reason is the official-based ethos of universities and research institutes.Most of these places are filled with a strong bureaucratic atmosphere, the most intuitive manifestation is that administrative staff are above ordinary scientific researchers.

Professors and associate professors humbly approach the Research Office of the Finance Office for approval of funds, and a professor who wants to recruit someone has to ask the Human Resources Office for accommodation. These things were not uncommon for Wei Kang when he was in school.

And these administrative staff often come up with a bunch of inexplicable assessments, which seriously affect the scientific research work.

The last reason is the scientific research atmosphere of eager for quick success and instant benefit. This may not only be a problem in the scientific research circle.

Scientific research, especially basic research, has its particularity, and it is unrealistic to see results in the short term.

Looking at the current assessment requirements of major university research institutes, it has become the mainstream to either get promoted or leave within three years, and there are even annual assessments that are linked to salary.This method that violates the laws of scientific research can only eventually become a scoring system for leaders, which is a piece of chicken feathers.

There are so many problems in China's scientific research environment, but in fact it is just a word. The problem of money, too few resources, and too many scientific researchers have led to crazy involution.

Therefore, the purpose of Weikang's creation of the Pangu Research Institute is also very clear, which is to solve these problems.

He wants to invest huge sums of money every year to raise a group of truly outstanding talents in the Chinese academic circle.

Let them devote themselves wholeheartedly to basic scientific research, don't worry about research funding, pay enough, personal connections and bureaucracy don't exist here.

As for the long-term scientific research results, he can afford to wait. Anyway, Sanqing is his word, the profit is high enough, and there is no short-sighted interference of capital, and the annual scientific research investment of billions to tens of billions can also be spent.

Why is the scientific research environment in Eagle Country so good? Because the scientific research funds are too abundant, not only the state has invested heavily, but also major companies are vying to establish scientific research centers.The chassis is big enough, the funds are enough, and scientific researchers can live well wherever they go. Naturally, no one is a bird, and they can focus on scientific research itself.

He wants to invest the money earned from patients around the world into domestic basic research, create a good scientific research environment, and promote China's technological take-off, thus forming a virtuous circle.

And he also has a selfish intention. After working for a period of time, he will keep the best talents in it as much as possible.

Come, don't leave.

This is of course not arrogance.

Now he does have this ability.

Leaving aside the Nobel Prize.

In the global medical field, many bigwigs privately call him the "Einstein" of the medical field, which is undoubtedly the greatest recognition of his scientific research strength.

In fact, he now has an extremely powerful appeal in the medical industry. Many young scientific researchers, both at home and abroad, regard him as an idol in their hearts.

Wield the big stick of money again, give enough treatment and funds, enough to poach all kinds of high-end talents.

Moreover, the Pangu Research Institute not only wants to attract the best domestic talents, but also foreign cutting-edge talents.

The Postdoctoral Workstation is designed for this purpose.

It has always been foreign institutions and universities that attract global and Chinese talents.

Now, the Pangu Research Institute can do it too.

In time, this will surely become one of the world's top scientific research institutions.

Moreover, Wei Kang has another plan in mind, which is slowly unfolding.

He had long had an idea to create the highest science award belonging to China.

Create a scientific research award that can be as famous as the Nobel Prize for various basic science fields around the world.

One reason why the Nobel Prize can become such an influential award is justice, and the other reason is the high prize money.

When the Nobel Prize was established, the standard given was that it would enable a scientific research scholar to have no worries for 20 years, so that he could devote himself to basic scientific research without distraction.

Therefore, the prize money of the Nobel Prize has been inflated every year, and now it is a huge sum of about 120 million US dollars.

Comparable to it in China is the National Highest Science and Technology Award, with a bonus of 800 million, but only one or two people are awarded.

Wei Kang's ambition is even bigger.

After all, in first-tier cities, 800 million bonuses are enough to buy a suite.

What he wants to give is actually very simple. Just like Nobel did at the beginning, it can enable a scientist, no matter where he is, to have a house, a car and savings, and not have to worry about life for the rest of his life.

As long as the Sanqing Group exists for a day, this principle will not change.

The establishment of a scientific award is inseparable from the support of the domestic academic community, which is why he wants to discuss it with fellow academicians.

Look at the time, the meeting time is up.

Wei Kang logged into the video conference and soon saw the familiar academicians.

Academician Qi from the field of physics, Academician Chang Sanwei from the field of biology, Academician Tu Youyou from the field of medicine, Academician Xie from the field of aerospace, etc., there are more than [-] people, all of whom are leaders in various industries in the Huaxia Academy of Sciences.

Looking at the screen in front of him, Wei Kang couldn't help being in a daze.

Before he knew it, he had already met so many academicians.

However, he quickly adjusted his mood and began to speak respectfully.

"Thank you all academicians for your support and love. I am really grateful. The time of the big guys is very precious, so I won't say much, and I will go directly to the topic."

All the participants showed a smile, and then listened attentively.

"It has been revealed before that Sanqing Group intends to establish an international award in the field of basic science. It will invite you and hundreds of other famous scientists at home and abroad as judges to select winners every year and to contribute to the awards. Operations provide guidance."

"A prize given to the person who has made the most significant discovery or improvement in mathematics."

"A prize given to the person who has made the most significant discovery or improvement in physics."

"A prize given to the person who has made the most significant discovery or improvement in chemistry."

"One award for the most significant discovery or improvement in the life sciences."

"A prize given to the person who has made the most significant discovery or improvement in the fields of medicine and physiology."

"Each award can be shared by 1 or 2 to 4 winners, and the bonus is ," Wei Kang looked at the dignified bigwigs in front of him, took a deep breath and said, "2000 million RMB or equivalent foreign currency. "

"what?"

"2000?"

The expressions of the academicians changed suddenly, and some even exclaimed.

Academician Qi was the first to speak, he glanced at everyone's expressions, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Wei, let me ask boldly, a bonus of 2000 million is not a small sum. Are you serious?"

He is the most familiar with Wei Kang, which can be regarded as asking everyone's heart.

Wei Kang smiled and nodded: "That's right, five awards, each awarding 2000 million, a total of [-] million bonuses, it's absolutely true."

"And I will soon set up a science foundation to be responsible for the operation of the entire award. The prize money will be guaranteed by my shares in Sanqing, so you don't have to worry about money. As long as the Sanqing Group is still alive, it will definitely be awarded every year. Get on with it."

"Hey!" Even Academician Qi's complexion changed, and he gasped: "Mr. Wei is indeed Mr. Wei, he is really rich and powerful."

"One hundred million, one hundred million," he shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Now I know how profitable it is to run a business, but what's even more rare is that you are willing to invest your own money in basic scientific research."

He looked serious: "I represent the Chinese scientific research community, thank you."

Wei Kang waved his hand, a little embarrassed: "It's okay, this is what I should do. Isn't the country advocating common prosperity? I, who got rich first by relying on science and technology, of course also want to drive scientists to get rich. Ha ha."

The bosses all laughed instantly, the eyes they looked at him became extraordinarily kind, and the atmosphere became cheerful.

Weikang's 2000 million grand prize really shocked everyone. This is a real money of [-] million a year, which is given to scientists in the field of basic science. It is simply a real charity.

We must know that most of the research in the field of basic science is the exploration and discovery of the world, and the results are shared knowledge without any patents, which is different from applied technology.

For example, if you discover the structure of a protein in the human body, or discover the chemical properties of a metal compound, you can't register this knowledge as a patent and collect money.

Therefore, most basic scientific research is funded by the state, and scientists themselves, unless they start their own businesses, find it difficult to profit from it.

Most scientists are not considered rich, and the Nobel Prize is a huge sum of money for them.

Therefore, if Weikang's 2000 million grand prize is dropped, if a certain scientist is lucky enough to enjoy it exclusively, then ordinary people can directly achieve the achievement of wealth and freedom for ordinary people.

Even if four scientists share the bonus, each of them can get 500 million. As long as they are not in the first-tier cities, they will be able to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

Chang Sanwei's unique high-pitched voice sounded: "Xiaowei, your idea is very far-sighted, and you are really thinking about scientific research. With this bonus, a scientific researcher is enough to devote himself to work. Since you have paid a lot of money, we will definitely I will fully support you."

"That's right, scientific researchers are human beings, and they have to worry about oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, and huge bonuses are also a huge incentive for young people, which can be used as a kind of belief to support them through the most difficult start-up stage in their lives. "

Academician Xie expressed his support with a smile. He knows that many young people in aerospace institutions do not have high incomes and are unwilling to give up scientific research positions to earn money in enterprises. If they can win the award, it will definitely greatly alleviate the financial difficulties of young people.

All the bigwigs present nodded their heads.

Wei Kang showed a satisfied smile, and continued.

"I can't repay you for your support. I can only thank you again. At that time, I will ask you to screen and approve the nominees, and finally select the best winners."

"However, in order to support domestic basic scientific research, my idea is that in the first few sessions, it is best to select domestic scientific research scholars or overseas Chinese. After that, I will consider scientists from all over the world."

"It's October now, and I will invite everyone to nominate as soon as possible. It is expected that the winners will be selected before the Spring Festival next year, the list of winners will be announced, and awards will be presented, so that the winners can have a good year."

"Sounds very good, so, what is the name of this award?" A middle-aged academician with elegant temperament and black-rimmed glasses asked the last question.

"Western Science Award."
