Chapter 1264 Winning the Nobel Prize Again!

At fifteen o'clock in the afternoon.

For most areas in China, three o'clock in the afternoon is still far from night. However, for the city of Stockholm in Northern Europe, it has already entered the long winter night early.

The heavy snow flying all over the sky is like a melting furnace, engulfing everything in the world, melting everything into silver in the silver flames rolling up and down. There are only a few scattered street lamps and the light from the windows, which outline the outline of the street.

However, the heavy snow did not cool people's enthusiasm.

On the street not far from the Blue Palace, people are wearing thick down jackets and holding handmade lanterns, as if they are watching the red-brick and black-tiled old castle not far away with a faint light.

Standing in front of the camera under the heavy snow that fell like goose feathers, the reporter spoke in an excited tone while holding the microphone with the CTV logo in her hand.

"The street I am standing on now is Osterbergs Street not far from the Blue Palace. Standing behind me are local Chinese residents. Some of them come from nearby communities, and some come from a hundred kilometers away. In the city, the hotel reservations in the surrounding areas are already fully booked...they gathered here spontaneously with paper lanterns in their hands. Let's interview them..."

Walking through the snow-covered streets, the reporter came to one of the Chinese people holding a lantern.

"Sir, may I interview you now?"

"Yes, yes! No problem!"

Looking at the microphone with CTV written on it, the about forty-year-old man in a down jacket looked very excited and waved to the camera behind her.

"How do you feel now?"

As he spoke, the reporter pointed the microphone in his hand.

Looking at the extended microphone, the man in the down jacket shouted loudly, as if his voice was too low to be heard.

"Excited! Excited! Happy!"

"Can I interview you, what makes you feel so excited, excited, and happy in this cold winter?"

The man said with a laugh.

"There's no other reason! I'm just happy to see our scientists are so good!"

Behind the curtain wall composed of wind and snow.

The Blue Palace standing by the lake is flickering, just like a torch in the dark night, grabbing all the eyes looking forward to seeing it.

The entrance of the Blue Hall has been surrounded by reporters from all over the world. They are carrying cameras in their hands, like hunters waiting for an opportunity in the dark night, just waiting for the moment when the door opens an hour later, waiting for that figure to appear in the camera The moment in the movie, and then press the shutter in your hand to record this historic moment.

At the same time, in the spacious hall, a symphony orchestra of dozens of people played the opening music.

Sitting on the special seat watching the crowded venue, Lu Bangguo, who was fidgeting, was a little nervous, and couldn't help whispering to his wife sitting next to him.

"You said that Zhou'er in our family will be nervous."

Before Fang Mei could speak, Xiao Tong, who was sitting next to her, heard it and couldn't help laughing.

"Dad, what are you thinking? The award he won won't fit on two walls, right?"

Fang Mei smiled, patted Xiaotong's little hand lightly, and said.

"Your dad can't change his mentality all the time. Don't look at him sitting in the blue hall, it's actually no different from sitting in his son's opening ceremony or class meeting."

"What nonsense, I'm just worried about my son, aren't you worried about your son?" The old man blushed, Lu Bangguo glared at Fang Mei, then looked at Xiaotong, and said condescendingly, "You don't understand, wait You'll know when you have a son!"

Xiaotong stuck out her tongue and made a grimace.

"Cut! Seeing that my brother is hopeless, you started to squeeze me, right?"

"What is squeeze? Is your father worried about your lifelong affairs? You girl is the same. You have been outside for so long, and you don't want to find a partner."

"I'm not interested, and I'm so busy every day, I don't have time to fall in love."

"...No, I heard that the life of international students should be very colorful, right?"

Listening to Papa Mapao's speech, Xiaotong couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

"There is also a big difference between international students and international students, and not everyone wants to enjoy life. Besides, it is Princeton, a small village far away from big cities, and weird people from half the world gather there. Do your own thing... Forget it, you won’t understand even if I tell you, anyway, you don’t have much thought about it there.”

"No wonder..." Lu Bangguo rubbed his chin, wondering what he was thinking, and said to himself, "It's no wonder I haven't found a partner for so long. It turns out that I was affected by the environment."

Xiaotong: "...Uh, I think my brother is also one of the weirdos."

The sound of the symphony became more and more passionate, and the baton waved in the hands of the conductor became faster and faster, driving the atmosphere of the audience to become more and more enthusiastic.

"The last one who won the Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry at the same time was Marie Curie." Watching the symphony on stage, Edward Witten, wearing a long trench coat, said with a hint of envy in his eyes, "I didn't expect such a Great men will appear beside you and me."

For the Nobel Prize in Physics, Witten can be said to have been obsessed with it for a long time, which is almost an open secret in the physics community. But it is impossible for the Nobel committee to award him this prize because of his academic prestige, because both M theory and string theory are unproven things.

At least for the physics prize, they won't make easy compromises.

"Yes."

Taking a surprise look at Professor Deligne standing beside him, Professor Witten joked.

"My favorite student has won this honor, is the only word "yes" for you?"

"I don't study physics and chemistry, and I don't have much to say other than asking him," Professor Deligne continued after a moment of silence, "But I admit that when I sent him the offer, I I really did not expect that his knowledge would bring such a big change to the world."

Looking at the stage, there was a hint of relief in his eyes, and the hairless old man suddenly smiled.

"It's interesting to say that the Bourbaki school has always advocated the purity of mathematics, and believes that mathematics should only serve mathematics. But from him, I have seen a different change."

"Mathematics can not only change mathematics, it can even change the world."

"I still remember him saying that."

"And, it's not just talk."

The symphony is over.

The Chairman of the Nobel Foundation stood in front of the stage, facing the audience, and announced the opening speech of the Nobel Prize Awarding Ceremony.

Immediately after, Mats Larson, chairman of the Nobel Committee on Physics, came to the front of the stage.

The old man with gold-rimmed glasses gently pushed the glasses, stretched out his hand to straighten the microphone, and continued in a steady and solemn voice.

"For a long time, we knew very little about the worlds of higher dimensions."

"Until a tiny dust broke into the vision of all of us."

The hall fell silent.

Everyone stared at the stage, quietly waiting for the old man to continue speaking.

"...it's so small that almost everyone, you and me sitting here... we all miss it."

"But fortunately, everything turned around."

"The Lunar Hadron Collider was established, and a new physics research system was born. All because of a great man who never gave up, all of us have taken a big step forward and reached a place that no one has ever set foot on. field."

"And the facts have proved that there is no chance in nature."

"Behind all seemingly incomprehensible phenomena, there is an inevitable reason."

"Thanks to him for not giving up."

As if telling a distant legend, the old man's voice carried a special appeal, which made people feel awe. At this moment, the old man suddenly raised his volume, with a trace of solemnity and loftiness in his voice.

"I announce on behalf of the selection committee for the Nobel Prize in Physics."

"The winners of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics are—"

"Lu Zhou!"
