After the National Science and Technology Progress Award was presented, Lin Chen and the other award winners stepped down.

Although he already knew that the award selection was held ahead of schedule because of him, Lin Chen was not the only one on the list of winners.

However, just when Lin Chen and the other award winners thought that the commendation meeting was about to end.

An elderly man suddenly walked onto the award stage again.

Upon seeing this person, the other award winners next to Lin Chen began to discuss among themselves.

"Why did Dean Hou go upstairs?"

"Weren't the rewards already given out?"

"Is there another step involved?"

From them, Lin Chen also learned about Dean Hou's identity and became curious as well.

Why did the current president of Longke Academy suddenly appear on stage at this commendation meeting?

But soon, everything became clear.

President Hou took the stage this time to announce that the Longyan Academy of Sciences had elected a new academician!

And the name of this new academician is actually...

Lin Chen!

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining the title of top national scientist! Two-thirds of the conditions for completing the mission to the top of the world have been met!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the title of Academician! You have gained 200 Academic Points!"

When Lin Chen heard his name from Dean Hou's mouth, he was stunned.

Everyone else around was even more bewildered.

As is widely known, each election of academicians has a fixed date and a fixed procedure.

Never before have new academicians been announced so suddenly in such a setting!

Moreover, according to regulations, the election of academicians requires going through multiple rounds of selection and must be approved by a vote of the academicians of the Longyan Academy of Sciences.

Did Lin Chen skip these procedures when he was elected this time?

As if hearing everyone's thoughts, Dean Hou said on the stage: "This election was proposed by the higher authorities, and after being voted on by all academicians at the internal meeting of Longke Academy."

Dean Hou was somewhat emotional when he said these words.

In fact, there were quite a few objections within the Longke Academy of Sciences regarding the election of Lin Chen as an academician.

Although the proposal was submitted directly to the Dragon Academy by the Elders' Council.

As the most authoritative scientific institution in the Dragon Kingdom, the Dragon Academy of Sciences possesses a high degree of independence.

Even if there is pressure from above, Longke Institute can still ignore it.

However, there are actually various factions within the Longke Academy, so getting everyone to agree is no small feat.

So at the beginning, many people in the Longke Academy disagreed with adding Lin Chen as an academician, feeling that he was too young and needed more time to hone his skills.

But what these people didn't expect was that Lin Chen, despite his young age, had achieved something truly remarkable.

And coincidentally, his achievements are not limited to just one field.

From mathematics to chemistry, from computers to biomedicine.

Lin Chen has achieved remarkable success in each of these four fields.

The new gene-editing tool that Lin Chen recently discovered has played a decisive role in his becoming an academician.

Because of this technology, the biological scientists at Longke Academy also sided with Lin Chen.

From then on, Lin Chen gained supporters in mathematics, chemistry, biology, and medicine, who then helped him ascend to the position of academician.

"Now, please come up to the stage to receive your academician certificate."

Amidst applause, Lin Chen went on stage to accept the award.

There was a photo and interview session after the awards ceremony.

Lin Chen, who had just received three honors, naturally became the focus of media attention.

One media outlet after another shoved microphones in front of Lin Chen, hoping he would say a few words.

"Then let me say a few words."

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Lin Chen simply agreed to the interview.

"I am honored to become an academician of the China Academy of Sciences. This is a trust that the country has placed in me. In the future, I will take this new identity as a starting point and continue to make my own contributions to the development of science and technology in China."

"So, in what direction will Academician Lin focus his efforts next?" a media outlet asked.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I know that our country has recently suffered a major blow to the chip industry. This matter was caused by me, so it is natural that I should resolve it."

Upon hearing this, the media reporters present were stunned for a moment, and then they all became excited.

"Academician Lin, do you mean you plan to research chips next?"

"I suppose so. By the way, my research has yielded some results, and the relevant paper has been submitted to Nature. If you are interested, you can take a look."

With that, Lin Chen ended the interview, leaving behind a group of incredibly shocked and excited media reporters.

Academician Lin is actually planning to conduct research in the field of semiconductors? And there's already been progress?

This is big news!

That evening, news about Lin Chen went viral across the internet.

"Renowned scholar Lin Chen has been awarded the National Natural Science Progress Award!"

"The youngest academician of the Longyan Academy of Sciences has been born!"

……

The overwhelming media coverage brought Lin Chen's name back into the spotlight.

"666! Lin Shen has finally ascended to godhood! He deserves it!"

"Amazing! For an academician who is not even thirty years old, Lin Shen's achievements are not only unprecedented, but probably will never be repeated!"

"I'm so upset! Lin Shen and I took the college entrance exam in the same year. I'm still struggling to graduate, and Lin Shen has already become an academician!"

"Otherwise what? Don't compare yourself to a monster; you can't compare to that."

……

Although netizens continue to discuss the topic of Lin Chen receiving the title of academician.

But what attracted the most attention in this news was actually the media's interview with Lin Chen afterwards.

"No way? Lin Shen is officially entering the chip industry?"

"Lin Shen is awesome! He's bold and responsible! It seems the chip industry is about to undergo a major reshuffle!"

"I wonder which area of ​​the chip industry Lin Shen will start with? Will he go straight for lithography machines?"

"Are you kidding me? Do you think a lithography machine can be made by just one scientist? Let me tell you, Lin Chen might mess things up this time!"

"How do you know Lin Shen will mess things up? He can even fly a plane, so what's impossible for him to build a lithography machine?"

"Exactly! I fully support Lin Shen! Lin Shen is omnipotent!"

"Heh heh, just wait until I slap you in the face later!"

……

Supporters and opponents of Lin Chen are arguing fiercely online.

Meanwhile, many more people, though they didn't express any opinions, were generally interested in the paper Lin Chen mentioned in the interview.

For a time, countless people logged onto the internet every day, just waiting to see what the paper Lin Chen mentioned was all about.

However, compared to netizens in China, it was Americans who were the first to learn about Lin Chen's thesis.

Although the aurora incident has ended, Americans' attention to Lin Chen has never diminished.

Especially recently, in order to obtain Lin Chen's Lin's Therapy, the Americans even started a chip trade war with the idea of ​​mutual destruction.

Since Lin Chen said in the interview that he was going to start researching chip technology, it naturally attracted the attention of Americans.

As a result, the Americans obtained Lin Chen's paper, which had not yet been published, from Nature at the first opportunity.

Then the Americans were dumbfounded.

Because Lin Chen's thesis seemed to have absolutely nothing to do with chips.

To this end, US intelligence personnel specifically sought out experts in the field of gene technology to advise them on the relationship between this paper and chip technology.

The expert invited was Vance, the chief scientist at the Institute for Advanced Genetics in the United States.

After he started reading Lin Chen's paper, he immediately fell silent.
