Chapter 1048: Winning the Nobel Prize Again
PS: In the new year, Bawei wishes everyone a happy New Year, family reunion, and happiness!
"Hello, Professor Xu Chuan, I am Professor Stafanomark, the tenured secretary-general of the Royal Academy of Sweden. I hope you still remember me."
A familiar voice with a smile was passed across the phone, and Xu Chuan responded with a smile: "Of course, hello, Secretary-General Stafan."
Stafanomak smiled and said, "I'm honored to be able to call you this phone today. I wonder if Professor Xu is following the official website of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences?"
Hearing the Secretary-General's inquiry, Xu Chuan shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, because I've been dealing with Martian bacteria research, and I've been a little busy these days."
Stafanomak smiled and said, "So that's the case. The Martian bacterial infection crisis cannot be underestimated. Fortunately, it has been resolved smoothly."
"From the perspective of the entire human civilization, this is undoubtedly a conquest of the universe, and I will recommend it to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in the future."
"But before that, today I have a more important news to tell you."
After a moment of pause, he cleared his throat, changed into a calm and dignified voice, and spoke solemnly:
"Hello, Mr. Xu Chuan, on behalf of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, I would like to congratulate you.
"Because of your great contribution to the unified theory of strong electricity, as well as the verification of multiple strong electricity unified theories such as the coupling constant of strong electricity symmetric breakdown, high-quality particle mass and weak-voltage-strong coupling strength, you will He won this year's Nobel Prize in Physics with Professors Pierre Deligne and Edward Witt."
Hearing the Secretary-General's congratulations, Xu Chuan smiled and quickly replied, "Thank you, this is my honor."
Opposite the phone, Secretary-General Stafanomak smiled and did not announce the time and invitation of the Nobel Prize as usual, but continued to announce calmly:
"In addition, you will be awarded this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry this year due to your great contributions to the field of lithium batteries and related computational electrochemistry, as well as the difficult work that has been solved in lithium dendrites and lithium sulfur shuttle effect problems! ”
"This Nobel Prize Ceremony will be held at the Stockholm Concert Hall in Sweden on December 10, 2025. The Nobel Prize in Physics and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been mailed to you. We look forward to your arrival."
Listening to the sound on the other end of the phone, the expression on Xu Chuan's face began to become strange.
If the award of the second Nobel Prize in Physics was still within his expectations, then this Nobel Prize in Chemistry was indeed beyond his expectations.
He really never thought that he would win the Physics Award and Chemistry Award at the same time, and it was in the same year.
This kind of thing has never happened even in the past century since the establishment of the Nobel Prize.
Moreover, two Nobel Prizes in Physics + one Nobel Prize in Chemistry, a total of three Nobel Prizes have also broken the historical record of the Nobel Prize, and there are no ones who have come before.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Chuan was stunned for a while when he looked at the screen of the phone.
Opposite the sofa, although Director Wu Yuankang of the Space Administration wanted to ask what happened, he didn't know whether he should ask.
After all, the projects and information that the person in front of him, who is in China, can sometimes not be found out by the top leader of the second-level department under the Industry and Information Technology Corporation.
On the other hand, Academician Chang Huaxiang seemed to have guessed something and asked with some curious eyes: "Is it the phone from Sweden?"
It is October 7th today, and the National Day holiday has just passed. If it is based on previous traditions, this should be the time for the Nobel Prize-announced list of winners.
Of course, he didn't think of this for no reason. When he answered the phone, he heard the name Xu Chuan said hello.
Secretary-General Stafan, if he guessed correctly, this Secretary-General Stafan is undoubtedly the one from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
Hearing Academician Chang Huaxiang's inquiry, Director Wu Yuankang, who was standing beside him, finally reacted, looked at Xu Chuan in surprise and joy, and asked enthusiastically: "Is it the Nobel Prize? Academician Xu."
After coming back to his senses, Xu Chuan nodded with a smile and said, "Well, the Nobel Prize."
After a brief pause, he continued, "I just called from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and said that I won this year's Nobel Prize in Physics and Nobel Prize in Chemistry."
"Physics Prize. and Chemistry Prize?"
"Two?!?"
Upon hearing this news, Chang Huaxiang and Wu Yuankang were both stunned for a moment, and the latter widened his eyes, looking surprised and surprised.
Xu Chuan nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, two."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yuankang couldn't help swallowing and asked excitedly and curiously: "Can the Nobel Prizes in different fields be awarded to the same person in the same year? Is there such a history?"
On the sofa, Academician Chang Huaxiang shook his head and said, "I don't know whether it can be awarded, but it is certain that no one in history has ever won two different Nobel Prizes in the same year."
"Even Madame Curie, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry, won it in 1903 and 1911, respectively."
"Received two different Nobel Prize medals in the same year"
Taking a deep breath, he looked at Xu Chuan and smiled and sighed, "This is really another record that breaks history and rules."
It has to be said that this young scholar is the most special one even in the history of human civilization.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Nobel Prize is the pursuit of almost everyone in the academic and scientific research fields.
I don’t know how many people have been waiting for their entire lives, but they have never won a medal until they die.
However, this person has won two Nobel Prizes in Physics and one Nobel Prize in Chemistry, a total of three Nobel medals, before he was 30 years old.
Two of them were awarded to him in the same year. He is the only one who can break the historical record and even the rules of the Nobel Prize.
A Nobel Prize, as long as it is a science prize, not a peace prize, is enough for the winner to jump out of the three realms and not be in the five elements.
Even if the literature prize, which has frequently been involved in scandals and the candidate list is leaked every year, is not as good as the natural science prizes such as the physics prize, chemistry prize, and medicine and biology prize, its blessing to an author is still enough to make him full of gold, stand at the top of the literary world, and overlook everyone.
As for the Peace Prize.
That is a real joke, and whoever gets it is a dog.
Apart from the jokes of the past years, the fact that the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the Association of Atomic Bomb Victims of Sakura Country is enough to trample the Peace Prize underfoot.
You know, the Nobel Peace Prize was originally intended to honor individuals or organizations that have made outstanding contributions to the cause of peace.
Let alone whether it seems a bit far-fetched to award the award to a victim group.
Just the damage that Sakura Country brought to the world during World War II can only be said that they got two atomic bombs by themselves.
However, for the two medals of the Peace Prize and the Literature Prize, I am afraid that the selection committee of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has long wanted to ignore them.
After all, why bother to pull up something that is already in the pit and make yourself smelly?
Across the sofa, after confirming the news, Director Wu Yuankang was excited, holding a teacup to Xu Chuan enthusiastically, laughing and saying:
"Academician Xu, congratulations on winning another award!"
"I'll use tea instead of wine, and toast you a cup first!"
Looking at Director Wu Yuankang who was so excited that he seemed to have won the award himself, Xu Chuan raised his teacup to show his respect and said with a smile: "Thank you."
Although the Literature Prize and the Peace Prize are rotten to the core, the Nobel Prize in Natural Sciences still maintains a relatively good reputation.
Although sometimes there are some tricks, such as awarding the Physics Prize to AI-related computational physics results last year, it is undeniable that the current Nobel Prize is still recognized by the academic community as the most commendatory and influential award.
Looking at Xu Chuan, who had a smile on his face but didn't seem to be very happy, Wu Yuankang smiled and flattered him: "You are the only one who can remain so calm after winning two Nobel Prizes in the same year."
"If it were someone else, they would probably be very happy by now. I still need to learn this calmness and cultivation of qi!"
Xu Chuan thought for a while and said with a smile: "I am definitely happy, but I may not be as excited as you think."
"After all, for me, it is only a matter of time before I get the second Nobel Prize."
No mistake, one song, one post, one content, one book, one bar!
"It's just a little surprising that the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences will also award me a Chemistry Prize."
If you want to say happy and happy, that's for sure.
After all, this is the Nobel Prize.
But to be honest, he doesn't think he is that excited.
At most, there are some surprises and surprises.
It was a sure thing for him to win the second Nobel Prize in Physics. With all his achievements, whether it was room-temperature superconductivity, strong electrical unification, or research related to dark matter, etc.
Pick any one of them and it would be a sure thing to win the Nobel Prize.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was indeed beyond Xu Chuan's expectations.
Although his achievements in lithium batteries and related computational electrochemistry were fully worthy of a Nobel Prize, his achievements in chemistry were indeed far behind his achievements in physics.
Moreover, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded him the Physics and Chemistry Prizes in the same year, which was indeed something he had never thought of.
After all, this had never happened before.
But for him, winning two Nobel Prizes at the same time seemed like just that.
After all, if we really talk about awards, he had already won two Physics Prizes in his previous life.
He really didn't pursue this aspect much.
Hearing Xu Chuan's indifferent words, Director Wu Yuankang couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said with emotion: "Great!"
"To use the words of you young people, this guy is really smooth in his pretense!"
After a pause, he looked at Xu Chuan and asked with a smile: "Come to think of it, you don't want to accept the award, do you? This is the Nobel Prize?"
With Xu Chuan's attitude, he wouldn't be surprised if he answered that he didn't want to accept the award.
But for such a world-class award, he still hoped that the other party would go.
After all, in a sense, the number of Nobel Prizes also represents a country's academic level and scientific research capabilities from another perspective.
Although China has already been at the forefront of the world, it does not need the Nobel Prize to bless itself to demonstrate the country's academic and scientific research level.
After all, compared with the Nobel Prize, new technologies such as controlled nuclear fusion technology, space shuttles, lunar bases, manned landings on Mars, carbon-based chips, etc. can better demonstrate their scientific research strength.
But sometimes, living in the global village, a super family of more than 100 countries, the Nobel Prize also represents "face" from another perspective.
Picking up the porcelain cup and taking a sip of tea, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Go, I just have something else to do and I have to go to Europe. It's not bad to go and receive an award on the way."
Hearing Xu Chuan's words, Director Wu Yuankang asked curiously, "Other things? What? Can I ask?"
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "It's not inconvenient. I want to go over to pay tribute to Professor Peter Higgs."
As early as when the theory of strong electric unification was completed, he had remembered this matter, but he just hadn't found a suitable time.
The great scholar who left his research results to him and always thought about the development of physics in his letters was a rainbow in his life.
He still remembered Professor Higgs' request. If one day in the future he completes the theory of strong electric unification, he will burn a copy for him in front of the tomb.
This wish will soon be realized.
"Professor Higgs?
Hearing this name, Wu Yuankang was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "If I remember correctly, he doesn't seem to be a Swedish scholar, right?"
Xu Chuan smiled and nodded, and said: "Yes, Professor Higgs is a scholar in England. He was buried in his hometown of Newcastle Northumbria on the Tyne River."
Without asking Xu Chuan why he suddenly wanted to pay tribute to Higgs, Wu Yuankang just smiled and nodded, saying: "If you want to go to England, I suggest you communicate with the higher-ups. After all, the UK is still a little far away from Sweden. ”
Although he really hopes that Xu Chuan can go to receive the award, Wu Yuankang is more worried about his safety.
With the status of this person, his trip abroad is probably not inferior to those of the elders of the Council of Elders, and they are all state visits of the highest level.
Simply put, when a head of state or a senior official of a country formally visits another country, there will be ceremonies such as walking on the red carpet, reviewing the guard of honor, a state banquet, and firing 21 gun salutes.
And from the perspective of the importance to the development of human civilization, the importance of this person is probably more important than that of the heads of state of most countries.
PS: I wish you all a happy new year~ヾ(≧▽≦*)o~
