In fact, the contributions of Ruan Wenye and his two colleagues were significant; they just didn’t realize it themselves. Their research helped to increase the conditions needed for studying the God’s Code.
This was a critical task.
The seemingly ’messy’ research conclusions they had come to were extracted and became the conditions that laid the foundation for the research on God’s Code.
Moreover, the most direct contribution came from Zhang Qican’s initial mathematical proof of ’light propagation methods.’ It was because of Zhang Qican’s proof that Zhao Yi was able to deduce how to arrange high-energy photon beams and proceed with the anti-gravity experiment involving photons as soon as possible.
Without Zhang Qican’s proof, it would have been ordinary for the experiment to be delayed by months.
Zhao Yi did recognize the research outcomes of Ruan Wenye’s trio, however, the difference in their contributions was still quite significant. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
For instance, Zhang Qican’s contribution was the greatest.
Zhao Yi considered Zhang Qican to be one of those talents with solid fundamentals and creative ideas, right at the peak age for scientific research. He valued Zhang Qican greatly and directly reported his name upwards. The direct benefit was that the senior leaders were made aware of Zhang Qican’s contribution, and at the same time, Zhang Qican received a different kind of ’work permit.’
This work permit was the highest level of certification at the experimental site, the ’highest level’ for all participants, identical to the level of Zhao Yi.
When the time came to conduct the experiment, Zhang Qican could freely enter any area and stand together with the highest-level leaders and the core of the team.
Ruan Wenye and Huang Zhong, on the other hand, only received ordinary work permits, certifying that they were participants in the research and could observe the experiment on site, but their level was somewhat lower, and they could only stand with the ordinary staff during the experiment.
Talents should naturally receive better treatment. There’s no such thing as fairness in scientific research; the one with the greater contribution should rightfully receive higher remuneration. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Zhao Yi even applied for a special ’bonus’ for Zhang Qican—200,000 yuan in rewards might not sound like much, but for a few months of research, an additional 200,000 yuan was a decent supplement.
Ruan Wenye wasn’t envious of Zhang Qican receiving the research bonus. Such occurrences were quite normal; when scientific personnel make contributions, those with substantial contributions would naturally receive rewards.
It’s like after achieving results, one is eligible for awards; without results, one cannot expect to receive rewards like those who have achieved something.
He was envious of Zhang Qican’s work permit and said sourly, "Why does your work permit look so much better than mine?"
"I think my contribution is also significant. Is it because I’m older that I’m rejected?"
Huang Zhong forced a smile; he was somewhat envious inside.
As an academician of the Science Academy, he too had only received an ordinary work permit and seemed to have no special treatment; he scoffed at Ruan Wenye’s remarks, thinking, ’Don’t you know how much you lag behind Qican?’
Let alone Zhang Qican, Ruan Wenye’s achievements were the poorest over the past few months of research, far behind even his own.
Ruan Wenye was like an ’underachieving student,’ entirely carried along by the other two, and he still expected the highest level of treatment?
Dream on!
...
The anti-gravity experiment with photons was conducted in secret; only the participants were aware that the experiment was about to begin, and even among them, some did not know— they were simply going about their regular work.
Two days before the experiment, Zhao Yi and the trio of Ruan Wenye went to the experimental base together.
Ruan Wenye’s group was just there to look around, and there were even places they weren’t allowed to enter. Zhao Yi, on the other hand, was busy checking the equipment, talking with the people who constructed it at the High Energy Institute, understanding the core of the construction, and so on. He examined and took care of every detail of the device inside and out.
Qian Hong also went along.
As Zhao Yi’s personal assistant, she was always by his side. Such personal assistants are often the closest as they are privy to everything concerning Zhao Yi’s research and work things.
Of course, the compensation was also excellent.
Qian Hong had resigned her lecturer position at Yanhua University to serve as Zhao Yi’s work and life assistant full-time; the upper management had also arranged an official institution position for her, with a salary equivalent to that of a mid-level civil servant.
Her current compensation was much better than that of a university lecturer.
On the morning of the day the experiment was to start, many people arrived at the experimental base one after another, with the most prominent figure being the Minister of the Science and Technology Department, one of the top national leaders.
Normally, he should be addressed as Minister Zheng, but those familiar with him call him Director Zheng, probably because Minister Zheng had served as a standing committee member for many years?
Director Zheng was the highest leader of national scientific research; theoretically, he was in charge of all matters related to scientific research and technological development. Having the top-level leader present meant that Liu Zecheng also had to stand aside.
Zhao Yi also referred to him as ’Director Zheng.’ It was his first time meeting Minister Zheng, for top leaders like him were extremely busy. It wasn’t the responsibility of secondary leaders, who were only in charge of a particular area of work; the highest leaders had to attend to all aspects, often concerning the most challenging decisions.
The fact that he could make time to visit the experimental base highlighted the great importance he placed on the anti-gravity project.
Minister Zheng also showed concern for Zhao Yi and the anti-gravity experiment, inspecting every part of the base with Zhao Yi and asking about the experiment, wishing to know the probability of its success.
