Chapter 10: Major Events

On December 10, 1912, the 12th Nobel Prize Ceremony was held. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was definitely a day to write about for Huntelaar University, as the school's founder, John? Mr. Huntelaar was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for his contributions to the fields of surgical disinfection, anesthesia, blood transfusion, and vascular anastomosis, and is also the fifth Nobel Prize at Huntelaar University.

In most people's eyes, this is a belated honor.

What if John? Mr. Huntelaar was not an American, but an Englishman, Frenchman, or German, and he would have won the prize a long time ago. But this time, he won the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine, making John the first scientist to win the Nobel Prize twice - maybe not much in this era, but a legend in a few decades.

And......

In addition to John's own prize in medicine, two other professors from the University of Huntelaar won the sixth Nobel Prize in chemistry for the invention of synthetic ammonia! Thanks to the efforts of Huntelaar Chemical, it can now produce more than 100 tons of synthetic ammonia per day, which is supplied in large quantities to the Huntelaar Arms Manufacturing Company for the production of explosives, as well as to another factory of its own for the production of fertilizers......

Won two Nobels in one year, making the history of Huntelaar University!

Under the hype of Huntelaar University, the two physics professors enjoyed a luxurious trip from New York to Northern Europe to receive their own Nobel Prize. In addition, at the award ceremony, they received John's medical award for him - another award for one person. In fact, even when receiving their chemistry prize, the two invariably attributed the main merit to John? Mr. Huntelaar's support and encouragement, and more importantly, the hints of research ideas, made the surname Huntelaar make a small wave in Europe.

But......

"Hehe, what is this?"

John, who heard the news, smiled smugly and couldn't help but brush his mustache.

Because the prize was not established for a long time, although the prize money was very high, the Nobel Prize in 1912 was far less brilliant than that of later generations. But only John himself knows that in the future world, even if the Nobel Prize is difficult to be justified for political reasons, but because of his high prize money, the status of small Nordic countries, etc., it is not surprising that it will become the focus of attention of the scientific community all over the world!

To win six Nobel Prizes at the beginning of the 20th century is absolutely unique among American universities!

And in addition to these awards, Huntelaar University is now conducting a lot of research that may win awards, such as the Huntelaar University School of Medicine, and under John's guidance, there are even dozens of research projects that are eligible for awards in the future! In the five laboratories of the Huntelaar consortium, physics, chemistry, electronics, communication and other technologies are also developing rapidly, and the future will inevitably be the star factory of the Nobel Prize......

When he thought of this, John's heart was full of pride.

What is all he can do with these things?

In several laboratories, research is also underway on synthetic rubber, ultrasound that will be mainly used for medical purposes in the future but is currently used for military purposes, commercial broadcasting systems that have begun to be rolled out on a large scale, and of course, large passenger planes that are being developed and plastic surgery that is progressing rapidly, etc., can be said to have captured several technologies that were important in World War I and shined after the war!

In particular, the various departments of the medical school are now on the fast track.

In order to prepare for the coming large-scale war, John secretly accelerated his investment in surgery, whether it was money, manpower, or his personal energy, he was rapidly leaning towards the field of surgery, in order to be able to use this war to completely establish the king of surgery at the Huntelaar Medical College - in this decision, John did not put himself in the position of a physician......

When John returned to the United States, he found that everything was so smooth!

Wilson became the president of the United States as he expected, he and his colleagues won the Nobel Prize, universities and medical schools flourished, and although the Huntelaar consortium was slammed by many people, believing that it was a dead end to buy resources and expand aggressively, John was very satisfied with this, because he knew that it would not take long for his investment to be doubled!

Time flies in a good mood, and 1912 passed in the blink of an eye......

……

As soon as 1913 came, John's mood suddenly changed a little.

He knew very well what was going to happen in Europe in 1914, so he sent a copy of the information there every once in a while, so to speak, and he kept an eye on the movements in Europe. However, what puzzled him was that Europe in 1913 was ostensibly a song and dance!

In the first two months alone, John's agent bought him more than 20 "famous paintings"!

It may sound a bit out of tune, but it's exactly what it is. The Germans are immersed in the preparations for the wedding of the century, the Kaiser's favorite daughter is about to be married, almost all the heads of state in Europe have been invited, and this wedding is about to be seen as evidence of the easing of the situation in Europe. The whole European aristocratic feast, the people are peaceful, the culture is splendid, the science is prosperous, and the masters are produced; The art market, in particular, is booming!

At an art auction in Munich at the beginning of the year, 200 million euros worth of future art were acquired by John's agent, who spent less than 2,000 marks......

Everything that happened in Europe puzzled John.

If it weren't for the fact that the shipyards of the navies of various countries were still wielding hammers and launching one warship after another; If it weren't for the fact that the armies were desperately expanding their armies and producing more guns, artillery, and ammunition, John would almost have thought that his butterfly effect was too powerful to affect the occurrence of World War I......

With some apprehension, John ordered the frequency of the delivery of messages from Europe to be increased.

But in addition to the situation in Europe, John also has a lot to do in North America. For example, Wilson is going to hold the first presidential press conference in history in March, another example is that JP Morgan is about to come to the end of his life, and another example is that many people have been preparing for the Federal Reserve for a long time, because there are some uncertain factors in Wilson's coming to power, and so on.

Each of these matters was important and had to be attended to or dealt with by John himself.

However, just when John was focusing on North America and Europe, a major event occurred on the other side of the distant Pacific Ocean that caused a sensation in the whole country, and the news was delivered to John's ears as soon as possible through the fastest channel. (To be continued.) )
