v10 Chapter 2163： On the significance of the birth of awards

Of course, Durut still didn't answer everyone's questions, his eyes were still clear, his face was still calm, and even a smile that seemed like nothing was hanging on the corner of his mouth.

He glanced across the crowd and said with a smile on his face: "Since everyone wants to know the reason, let me talk about it."

"First of all, I think everyone understands that the Scientific Breakthrough Award, in essence, is not a commercial award, but is academic in nature."

"The meaning of its birth is to recognize people who have made contributions to academics."

"His roots are in academics! Only by rooting in academics can he survive."

Speaking of this, Durut paused, and then continued: "But what I want to say is that so far, the Science Breakthrough Prize has become too commercial."

"If things go on like this, this will inevitably cause great losses to the gold content of the award."

"Imagine if an award loses its gold content, how can it survive!"

"You can think about it, compared to when it was first held in 2012, how much has the number of participants in our awards dropped?"

What is the most important thing about an award?

Nothing else, just gold content! It is the source of vitality for awards.

If an award has no gold content, it must not last long!

In my heart, the Science Breakthrough Award is facing such difficulties.

His business aura is too strong, leading to a weaker academic atmosphere.

If things go on like this, it will inevitably be eliminated and replaced by other awards.

"This……"

Hearing Durut's words, everyone's complexion instantly sank.

It is undeniable that although Durut's words are ugly, they are quite reasonable.

Compared to 2012, when the "Science Breakthrough Award" was first held, more than 200 scholars participated.

As of now, the number of participants in this "Science Breakthrough Award" has only reached 87!

Although, with the reduction in the number of awards, the odds of the remaining people will also increase significantly.

This is of course a good thing for the rest of the people.

But for the whole award, this is not the case.

The number of participants is also a measure of the gold content of an award.

If there are no competitors for an award, what is the need for the award?

No!

Absolutely not!

Thinking of this, everyone's brows wrinkled.

Quiet!

Deathly quiet!

As if someone had pressed the mute button, the entire venue fell completely silent.

At this moment, even the sound of breathing disappeared...

One minute, five minutes total, ten minutes... half an hour...

It wasn't until more than half an hour later that someone in the venue broke the silence in the venue.

"Professor Durut, can Qin Luo participate in this awards ceremony to reverse the decline?" someone in the crowd asked.

For a while, everyone's attention was focused on Durut. They wanted to see what kind of answer Durut would make.

But to their surprise, Durut actually shook his head!

Reverse the trend?

To be honest, it can't.

Durut shook his head and said, "To be honest, it can't be!"

No...No!

As soon as this remark came out, people were instantly confused.

This guy, if he can't, why does Durut say so much? Do you think it's okay to talk nonsense?
