Chapter 1311 I Am Not Interested in the Nobel Prize

What Luo Wenxuan was worried about did not happen.

In such a private occasion, no one would take the teasing among friends too seriously.

In fact, as the secretary-general of IMCRC, his contribution is quite remarkable.

Regarding this point, Lu Zhou also used a solemn tone in his speech at the official start of the banquet, expressing his highest gratitude to those individuals and groups who have made outstanding contributions to the IMCRC and the verification of the hyperspace theory .

“…everything we’ve achieved in physics since the turn of the millennium has been made possible by the power of collaboration. Our work would be impossible, if not impossible, without such a large number of talented people.”

"Thank you to all those who have contributed to this noble cause. No matter it is tedious and complicated work or seemingly insignificant work, I believe that there must be some value that has not been discovered but must exist behind it. And one day , whether it is tomorrow or a future farther than tomorrow, it will definitely be unearthed and absorbed by our civilization."

"Although fame and fortune are not what we devote ourselves to in this field, if there is a stone monument to commemorate this celebratory moment, I hope that all of our names will be engraved on it!"

There was applause in the banquet hall.

Driven by the applause, the atmosphere at the scene was pushed to a peak.

People toasted each other to mark a moment destined to go down in history.

Standing at the end of the crowd, the gray-haired academician Lu raised his cuffs and gently rubbed the corners of his eyes. At this time, Professor Li Rongen from the School of Physics of Jinling University walked to the side of the old man and said with a smile.

"Have you ever thought about it?"

Glancing at an acquaintance, Academician Lu quickly put his hand down, coughed lightly and said solemnly.

"Thought what?"

"I thought about my students growing up to where they are today."

Looking at the smiling Professor Li Rongen, Academician Lu was silent for a while, then suddenly sighed softly.

In a voice with some emotion, he said.

"I used to think that this kid's future development would definitely not be easy, so I tried my best to lure him to me to study in graduate school. I didn't think so much..."

His eyes fell on the stage, looking at that young face, a gratified smile suddenly appeared on Academician Lu's face.

"I didn't expect that he is less than thirty years old, and he has already doubled all my expectations for him in this life."

...

It's not just Academician Lu who didn't think of it, most people didn't think of it.

This has just won a Nobel Prize medal, and in less than half a year, another Nobel Prize-level achievement was born immediately.

Moreover, unlike other Nobel Prize-level achievements, its weight has surpassed the discovery of the Higgs particle and the Z particle, and even surpassed the sum of the two.

It is precisely because of this that the Nobel Prize Committee has fallen into a rather embarrassing situation.

You said that if the Nobel Prize was awarded to him, he would only be allowed to take away a physics prize last year. So many people are still queuing at the back, and many people have burned themselves to death and failed to get in. It is really unreasonable.

Moreover, according to the practice in the physics community, if last year's award was awarded to theoretical physics, then this year's award must be awarded to condensed matter. Awarding theoretical physics prizes for two consecutive years is not quite in harmony with the rules.

But if it is not awarded to him, who dares to say that he is more qualified to win the award than the hyperspace theory?

Even the Higgs particle dare not say that, it is more important than the hyperspace theory.

After all, the discovery of this scalar boson can only fill in the loopholes of the standard model and save a crumbling building. The discovery of the hyperspace theory is equivalent to directly refreshing people's understanding of the high-dimensional world and the concept of space-time in the universe.

Utilizing this special physical property, human beings even hope to make matter with mass realize the reality of superluminal speed in a low-speed state.

To say it was the first of its kind would be an understatement.

However, Lu Zhou did not embarrass the Nobel Prize judges.

In the media interview after the banquet, when the BBC reporter handed him the microphone and asked him whether the hyperspace theory would bring him the second Nobel Prize in Physics in his life, Lu Zhou hardly thought about it. , and answered the question in a serious tone.

"It would be better to leave those nine million crowns and medals to those who need it more, and don't think about me. In fact, I don't need any more honors to prove anything."

When these words were spoken, the reporters surrounding him suddenly heard a voice of astonishment.

The BBC reporter who asked the question earlier thought he had heard it wrong, so he couldn't help asking.

"Are you serious? You know, the judges of the Nobel committee may see this news. If there is any misunderstanding, it may—"

"Do you think I'm a joker?"

Facing the microphones and cameras of countless interviews, Lu Zhou smiled lightly, and continued, "Of course I am serious, and I very much hope that they can give more consideration to some outstanding young people, and their research results need to be recognized. Acknowledgment and sponsorship. In fact, if they're not going to do it, I'd consider setting up an award myself to do it."

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly boiled.

If this sentence was said by someone else, it would sound somewhat arrogant.

But from Lu Zhou's mouth, not only no one will think that he is arrogant, but even think that he is too humble.

If he hopes to compete for the next Nobel Prize, there is almost no suspense. The Nobel Prize Committee will definitely award him the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics.

After all, this is a discovery that will change the course of human history. Since the theory of relativity, no theory has been so outstanding.

But now, after Lu Zhou made such a "declaration of waiver", the selection committee in charge of the awards can at least lose a few hairs.

If Lu Zhou does not participate in the selection, Professors Wei Hong and Davek, who worked out the "gravitational fluctuation formula of the Z particle", will undoubtedly become popular candidates for the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics, and they are most likely to share the nine million crowns equally bonus.

After all, the importance of this formula was personally acknowledged by Lu Zhou, and the conclusions in that paper also appeared in the form of quotations in Lu Zhou's paper on "Hyperspace Theory".

It would be an indirect acknowledgment to award other work in this direction, if not for "hyperspace theory itself."

The only pity is Brother Luo.

If he had joined this research project earlier, he might have had a share of the nine million crown prize.

But unfortunately, he joined too late, and almost before he had time to make any particularly significant research results, he watched the potential of the entire research direction being dug up by someone alone up.

And when the reporters at the scene, as well as the physicists watching nearby, were all shocked by Lu Zhou's generous speech, the relevant news flew all over the network as if they had wings. all around the world.

And as it was passed on, it changed...
