Chapter 536 Awards Season

Soon, Gao Zhendong understood what "did you bring a car?" meant, because he was afraid that it would be troublesome for him to carry so many things by himself.

There are many award-winning organizations and individuals. Just like last year’s Fiery Award, this is the first time that all the achievements accumulated over the years have to be awarded.

The difference between the Lightning Award and the Fiery Award is that it rewards both organizations and individuals and issues certificates separately.

However, there is not necessarily a one-to-one correspondence between people and units. It does not mean that if someone in your unit wins this award, your unit will also win the award. It depends on the degree of contribution.

Similarly, if a unit wins an award, it doesn't mean that someone in this unit will definitely win the award. These are two different things.

But these have nothing to do with Gao Zhendong. The Computing Institute has basically not won many awards. The comrades in the Computing Institute have always been happy. Gao Zhendong has not won any, so it is normal for them not to get any.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the awards were given out one after another. When they were almost all given out, the Institute of Computing and 1274, units familiar to Gao Zhendong, knew that the highlight was coming.

At this time, the leader spoke on the stage.

"Last year, our computer technology achieved a major breakthrough and was successfully popularized and applied. I think everyone knows this. Is anyone wondering why there is not even one award related to computers in this award?"

The comrades below burst into laughter. Laugh, laugh!

"In fact, I think some comrades have guessed the reason. The main reason is that it is too troublesome to issue them separately. Therefore, we save the awards related to them until the end. It saves me trouble and the comrades who receive the awards can also relax."

The leader made a joke, and the comrades laughed even harder.

"Next, our chief engineer will announce the final batch of winning projects for this Lightning Technology Award."

The chief engineer of the department suppressed his laughter, took a piece of paper and started making a list.

"DJS-59 transistor computer system, first prize, winning unit: the Third Steel Rolling Plant of the Seventeenth Ministry of Machinery, winning individual: Gao Zhendong!"

This first one brought thunderous applause from the audience. It finally came. We knew that if we couldn’t even win this award, then we should forget about getting this award.

DJS-59 is very special. It was basically created entirely by Gao Zhendong alone. Moreover, the th Ministry of Machine Building was unwilling to share anything on this topic, which was too embarrassing. It is hard to say about other places, but the first one to die of laughter was the th Ministry of Machine Building.

As for the Third Steel Rolling Mill, well, the electricity bill for DJS-59 is reported by the Third Steel Rolling Mill.

As the most important topic, from the unit to the individual, it is all from the Seventeenth Ministry of Machinery. I have to say that the Twelfth Ministry of Machinery is very generous! Maybe it wants to stimulate the comrades in the system.

The chief engineer of the department paused for a moment, giving everyone enough time to applaud, and then continued to read the long list.

"C language, first prize, winner: None, winner: Gao Zhendong!"

The Twelve Machine Departments are determined to be tough.

"Chinese Character Editing Environment, First Prize, Winning Unit: Computation Institute, Winners: Gao Zhendong, ..."

"'Dragon' computer operating system, first prize, winning unit: Computing Institute, winning individuals: Gao Zhendong, ..."

"Computer Data Communication Protocol Cluster (Part 1960) and Supporting Software, First Prize, Award-winning Unit..."

"..."

As the chief engineer of the ministry drank water and read out the list, all the achievements made by Gao Zhendong in the previous year that were related to the 12th Ministry of Machine Building were listed one by one, except for the material-related ones such as silicon single crystals that were retained by the 17th Ministry of Machine Building.

Among them, there are several first-class items, including modem, "Guidelines for Software Development Document Preparation", "General Computer Architecture", "Logical Operations and Design of Digital Circuits", DJS-60D, three second-class items, including tape storage, printer, and wave soldering machine, and two third-class items, including monitor and keyboard.

That’s right, monitors and keyboards, which will be everywhere in the future and there will be plenty of them, can win awards these days. And if Gao Zhendong’s starting point was not too high and the number of things he had raised raised the threshold for winning the entire Lightning Technology Award, second prize would not be impossible.

The wave soldering machine was originally something Gao Zhendong came up with to justify his single-handed creation of the DJS-59. With his help, the Institute of Computing and other factories actually made it. If the th Ministry of Machine Building had not mentioned it, Gao Zhendong himself would have forgotten about it.

As for things like encryption and decryption algorithms, don't even think about it. The National Defense Committee will be the first one not to do it. As for the purely computer-related ones, you can do whatever you want. As for this, whoever dares to announce it, I will cause trouble for him!
Fifteen! A total of fifteen! Fortunately, the comrades in the 30th Ministry of Machinery did not know that Gao Zhendong had the name "Big Dipper" in the th Ministry of Machinery last year. If they knew this, they would definitely guess whether he could get next year.

And the calculation was very happy, it was a great harvest!
Everyone present knew why these awards of different levels were presented together.

These were all done by one person and others. The most surprising thing is that the most important ones were done by him alone, and the Institute of Computing had no part in them.

If Gao Zhendong was originally known to only a few key units, now all the top units in the 12th Ministry of Machine Building are familiar with the name Gao Zhendong.

The comrades from Guangyang Electronics Factory were even happier. They followed Gao Zhendong to work on the photoelectric encoder and found out that this thigh was incredibly thick! Needless to say, we will definitely be able to stand on the podium next year!

Factory 1274 was not affected at all. They also won some awards this year for their improvement in the production process of transistors, but it was far from the grand occasion of the first-class wholesale of the Computing Institute. Well, it's okay. This year is the proud year of the Computing Institute. Next year, we will be big too!

"Now, please invite the representatives of the winning units and individuals to come on stage to receive the awards!"

No one stood up, and everyone looked at Gao Zhendong. Gao Zhendong had no choice but to stand up first and walk towards the stage.

After he stood up, other award-winning comrades and representatives stood up one by one and followed him to the stage amid warm applause from the venue.

This is not some old custom, but a sign of respect for the pioneers. Looking at his tall and straight back under the lights, the comrades present felt that "a real man should live like this".

"Is this Gao Zhendong? I've heard of your name for a long time, but I didn't expect the truth to be even more shocking than the rumors."

"How did this person get assigned to the Seventeenth Ministry of Machinery? That's strange too."

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. Don't say this in front of the department leaders. You will definitely suffer the consequences if you say it."

"I wish I were like him."

"Wake up! It's daybreak. You might as well be more realistic and hope that you can sit in the seat that presents him with the award."

"Why are you thinking about peaches here?"

"What do you mean?"

"You're dreaming!"

"Kings, princes, generals, and ministers, are all of a kind! Alas, but I really can't reach his level."

"I don't have high requirements. Any of his achievements will do."

"..."

Amid everyone's discussions, Gao Zhendong stood on the highest podium.

The leader smiled and shook hands with him, then said solemnly: "Thank you, Comrade Gao Zhendong!"

“It’s what I should do!”

Both of their words came from the heart.

The leader smiled and handed him a stack of certificates, jokingly saying, "Would you like to check them out yourself? Oh, the one for your Third Rolling Mill is also in there."

Because there are so many awards, this final highlight seems a little informal.

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "I believe in the organization!"

Hearing his words, the leader laughed.

At the leader's signal, Gao Zhendong turned around, held up a stack of certificates in his hands amid warm applause from the audience, and accepted the congratulations of his comrades. Under the lights, his figure looked even taller.
-
The 17th Ministry of Machine Building’s Fiery Science and Technology Award was issued the day after the 12th Ministry of Machine Building’s Award.

What surprised other comrades in the 17th Ministry of Machine Building was that Gao Zhendong did not win any other awards except the first prize for the ruby ​​laser and four second prizes for the B-type thermocouple and three types of gun steel.

Just one first-class? That's a bit abnormal.

No matter what people say, winning 5 awards in one year is something that others would never dare to think about!

Besides, as for ruby ​​laser, everyone who knows about it knows about it. Other topics got first prize because they were worthy of first prize, but this one got first prize because first prize is the highest.

Of course, most of the other comrades did not know what else Gao Zhendong was doing. Perhaps Comrade Zhendong had accumulated a lot of experience and was busy doing something big this year, the kind that would take several years to produce results.

Even though Gao Zhendong only won a small award this year, no one dares to underestimate his ability.

Underestimate him? Why don't you take a look at the progress chart of the 6011 campaign? He is far ahead.

But in fact, most people don’t know that the award ceremony for the Liehuo Science and Technology Award, which actually belonged to Gao Zhendong, was held before the conference, in the office of the leader of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building.

There, Gao Zhendong received four first prize certificates for single crystal furnace, silicon single crystal, mercury cadmium telluride crystal, and tungsten-molybdenum alloy.

Gao Zhendong knew what was going on without his leader's explanation.

These things are all being watched by the National Defense Work Committee. Although silicon single crystal is not one of them, it is also of great significance and easy to associate with. So let him be an unsung hero.

Unlike Gao Zhendong who is well-known in the fields of lasers and computers, there are some things that need to be downplayed in terms of materials.

After Gao Zhendong received the certificate, the leader smiled and said, "I heard that you also got a lot of these things in the 12th Ministry of Machinery? Did you also bring some for your factory?"

Gao Zhendong smiled embarrassedly: "Yes, there are a few."

"Well, it's okay to take them to do some research and win a few awards, but their main work location should still be in the factory." The leader of the Seventeenth Ministry of Machine Building hurriedly reminded them, always feeling that the Twelfth Ministry of Machine Building was thinking about something.

"Well, the arrangements in the factory are the most thoughtful, and no other place can compare to it." Gao Zhendong is not stupid. Even if he puts aside the restriction of having to work in the courtyard, the most comfortable place to work now is still here.
