Chapter 43 Chapter Twenty-Four

According to the spirit of the notice issued by the Science and Technology Commission, anyone who participates in discoveries and inventions can apply.This report was stirred into a pot of porridge.why?Because earth science is not like other inventors and creators of atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs, Zhang San and Li Si are very clear about what they do.Earth science is often a kind of theory, a kind of prediction, a kind of metaphysical transformation from a specimen, a drawing to an academic report.Who is the hero who discovered the Daqing oil field can only be based on two kinds of people, one is to put forward the theory of finding oil, and the other is to work in the field.The second type of person is very sure, like Han Jingxing.The first type of people is too complicated. In the past few decades, it has been said that Li Siguang used his geomechanics to find the Daqing Oilfield. So what happened?

Qian Sanqiang was a little overwhelmed, because he had received dozens of application reports on who was the first or who played a key and decisive role in the geological sciences of the discovery of Daqing Oilfield.Of course, there are Li Siguang's geomechanics theory that I am used to, as well as famous names such as Xie Jiarong and Weng Wenbo, and many names that I have never heard of before or now. Huang Jiqing did not declare at first, but after hearing about this situation, he felt that as a witness to history and the main organizer of the early geological survey and exploration work that discovered Daqing Oilfield, it was very necessary to stand up and clarify the matter.So with the encouragement of his colleagues, he submitted his application report to the Science and Technology Commission.

Fortunately, many of the parties involved in the discovery of the Daqing Oilfield were still alive, and conclusions were quickly drawn about the credit-grabbing behavior of certain people.The final focus is once again on Li Siguang and his geomechanical problems. Does geomechanics have anything to do with the discovery of the Daqing Oilfield?Qian Sanqiang personally came to seek Huang Jiqing's opinion. Huang Jiqing still insisted on his opinion: nothing to do.He took out the conversations and correspondence with Li Ben, Lu Hua and other important parties in the past few years to find out this matter, and the conclusion is still: the discovery of Daqing Oilfield has nothing to do with the theory of geomechanics.

For the sake of prudence, the Science and Technology Committee successively convened relevant people from all parties, and held four or five symposiums successively. In the spirit of knowing everything, talking endlessly and using the method of presenting facts and reasoning, at the end, they supported Huang Jiqing's opinion accounted for the majority. Then there is a fundamental question - does Li Siguang have any credit for discovering the Daqing Oilfield?Some people say that since his theory of geomechanics has nothing to do with the discovery of oil fields, he should not be on the list!

Everyone's eyes focused on Chang Huang Jiqing.This is because, first, Huang Jiqing is a representative who insists that geomechanics has nothing to do with the discovery of the Daqing Oilfield.Second, Huang Jiqing is the only surviving leader and organizer who decided to arrange a census mission on the Songliao Plain at that time.The third is that he is the highest authority in the field of geology.His opinion undoubtedly played a decisive factor. Qian Sanqiang visited Huang Jiqing again, and invited him to express his opinion at the review meeting. Huang Jiqing finally spoke, and his speech was beyond people's expectations: "In the past, on different occasions, I said more than once that Comrade Li Siguang's geomechanics theory has nothing to do with the discovery of Daqing Oilfield. This is an academic issue and a historical fact. But today we are reviewing which scientist has made a contribution to a certain invention and discovery. In terms of contribution, Comrade Li Siguang, as a scientist and at the same time as the leader who presided over the work of the Ministry of Geology at that time, his contribution to the discovery and discovery The contribution to the development of Daqing Oilfield is outstanding and huge. None of us can and cannot be obliterated!"

"Applause, applause!" Qian Sanqiang excitedly stood up and said to everyone, then he walked in front of Huang Jiqing and held the master's hand tightly: "Thank you! Thank you." It's an exciting ending.This is a convincing ending. Soon, the State Science and Technology Commission ranked the scientists who had made significant contributions to the geology work during the discovery of Daqing Oilfield. This is not an ordinary list. This is the name given by the people and history to one of the greatest discoveries in China’s scientific and technological circles in the 20th century—the scientists in the Daqing Oilfield who made contributions that will be remembered forever by future generations. They are: Li Siguang, Huang Jiqing, Xie Jiarong, Han Jingxing, Zhu Dashou, Lu Hua, Wang Maoji, Zhu Xia, Guan Shicong (Ministry of Geology and Mineral Resources), Zhang Wenzhao, Yang Jiliang, Zhong Qiquan, Weng Wenbo, Yu Boliang, Qiu Zhongjian, Tian Zaiyi, Hu Chaoyuan, Zhao Shengzhen, Li Desheng (Ministry of Petroleum Industry ), Zhang Wenyou, Hou Defeng, Gu Gongxu, Gu Zhiwei (Chinese Academy of Sciences).

In July 1982, the State Science and Technology Commission held an award ceremony for weight reduction. Master Huang Jiqing, as the representative of the first prize winner of this project, stepped onto the rostrum and received the shining golden certificate from the party and state leaders. A bonus of 500,000 yuan per person. Many people saw the faint and translucent rolling from the master's eyes... Yes, the biggest and protracted controversy in the history of Chinese science and technology has finally reached a relatively satisfactory result.All the grievances and grievances in the past should end!

Yes, the past is over!Tomorrow, there will be new oil fields and new great undertakings waiting!
