Next is the award ceremony. This year, there are as many as 387 awards, including 15 foreign scientists.

Li Erdan was honored to receive the National Highest Science and Technology Award certificate and a 5 million prize signed by Chief No. 1. At that moment, the audience burst into applause. As mentioned above, of the 5 million prize, Li Erdan could only stuff 500,000 into his waist bag, and the remaining 4.5 million was used as scientific research funds. Fortunately, the 500,000 bonus that could be stuffed into his waist bag does not have to be paid tax.

Some people in the venue must be jealous of Li Erdan, but I believe that what is right is admiring him, because those who can win the highest national science and technology award are not ordinary people. A young man who can make so many world-renowned achievements, realize the great rejuvenation of traditional Chinese medicine, and let the traditional Chinese medicine market lead the national economy. If it is not a pride of heaven, who can do this?

There are two very important principles for the evaluation of the National Highest Science and Technology Awards. First, breakthroughs are made at the forefront of contemporary science and technology or outstanding achievements in the development of science and technology; second, the transformation of scientific and technological achievements has produced huge economic or social benefits, the most important of which is economic benefits.

Comrade Li Erdan is not ordinary to satisfy these two award-winning principles. Every achievement is a major problem that all earth scientists cannot overcome for thousands of years. Every achievement can win the Nobel Prize in Medicine, overcome the problems of the vegetative world, overcome the problems of the amyotrophic world, overcome the problems of the heart disease and cancer world...

Similarly, each of his achievements has produced huge economic benefits, with hundreds of billions of dollars in just two years, and even made the Republic's economy take off again.

Let me ask, if Li Erdan cannot win the National Highest Science and Technology Award, who else is qualified to win?

Professor Wang Zhi, who is very accomplished in astrophysics?

Yes, Professor Wang Zhi can't do it. For example, the project he won the National Natural Science Award this year, the vortex gravitational field of dark matter and dark energy, will not meet the principle of winning the National Highest Science and Technology Award, because it does not produce economic benefits or social benefits. If one day his research results make human time and space travel a reality, thus producing huge social benefits, it is possible that the National Highest Science and Technology Award will be awarded to him.

The Prime Minister presented the award to Professor Wang Zhi, and the two shook hands and greeted each other cordially. Although he won the first prize of the National Natural Science Award, the prize was pitifully less than the National Highest Science and Technology Award, only 200,000. Professor Li, who is the title of "Academician of Cloth Shoes", won the second prize of the Natural Science Award, and the prize was even less, only 100,000.

The winners are not only Chinese, but also foreigners. The award won by foreigners is called the Republic International Science and Technology Cooperation Award, which has a very high honor. If a foreigner who doesn’t have a few taels of water cannot win the award at all.

In short, the award ceremony was very lively and exciting.

While having lunch in the cafeteria of the Great Hall, Li Erdan was arranged to have a table with the No. 1 Chief, Prime Minister, and also sat in the same seat. Professor Wang Zhi from the Department of Geophysics of the Beijing University. However, Professor Wang Zhi was "slightly speaking" and shut up.

"Li Erdan, tell us your next research trend. Don't be profound, you must be concise and easy to understand. If you explain it in depth, we can't understand it even if you explain it in depth!" said Chief No. 1, with the excellent qualities such as humor, wit, approachable, and so on.

The Prime Minister took over the conversation and said, "I know something about Li Erdan's research trends, but he still said it better! Don't be restrained, don't be nervous. This is not the first time you and us have met."

Since the No. 1 Chief and the Prime Minister have both spoken, Li Erdan had to tell him about his latest research trends.

"My team and I are studying drugs to delay life aging." Li Erdan said, and a faint sentence had a shocking effect.

Drugs that delay aging are to some extent elixirs!

Can peat and elixirs be developed successfully? Is it feasible in science?

Everyone here was shocked, but did not refute, but nodded and signaled him to continue speaking, because there were always many miracles in him, Comrade Li Erdan.

"I wonder if you have heard of a difficult and complicated disease called 'rapid aging disease'. People with this disease aging speed is many times faster than normal people." Li Erdan.

"I've heard of it." Chief No. 1.

"Well, I heard that a three or four-year-old child with this disease looks as old as an old man and a grandmother..." Prime Minister.

"This is a very strange disease, one of the incurable diseases." said the boss of a high-tech group present. "I seem to have seen a news about a patient with rapid aging on the Internet. The protagonist seems to be from Great Britain. A 14-year-old child looks like an ET in his seventies and eighties because of his parents' close relatives. He looks like a big friend in the IT industry. When I saw the protagonist's photos, I was shocked. I really can't believe that there is such a strange disease in the world."

Li Erdan laughed and said, "There are so many strange diseases in the world. Not only do you dare not believe it, but I can't believe it before I contacted it. There is another strange disease corresponding to rapid aging. The symptoms of disease manifested by Age are exactly the opposite of rapid aging. People with this disease "can't grow up". Compared with rapid aging, there are fewer people with Age. The most famous case is the Miligan woman. This woman is already an adult, but her appearance and mind are like a 1-year-old baby. There is also a case in Nan Goryeo. A man in his thirties looks only twelve or thirteen years old. If you think Age is weird and incredible, there is a more incredible disease similar to it, rejuvenation."

"Rejuvenation, are you kidding?" The tech giant dared not believe it. "I believe in rapid aging, and I believe in aging, because there are real stories in reality, but I don't believe in aging."

Erdan smiled, "Mr. Ren, don't worry, listen to me. Mr. Shen Kuo's "Dream Xi Bi Tan" records a story about rejuvenation, saying that an official named Lu Xu of Yingzhou suddenly suffered from a disease one day. His body shrank, and when he died, he shrunk to the size of a child. In a county annals of a certain county in Fujian Province, there is also a similar rejuvenation incident, which is about a child. It is about a man named Chen Jun who lived 443 years old and his body shrunk like a baby in his later years. Of course, these two cases were from a long time ago, and it cannot be verified that the authenticity was true or false, but it is indeed a bit old in real life.
