The prize money equivalent to 290 kilograms of gold, which caused a sensation throughout Europe. The discussion of the matter immediately banished any other news to the second edition. Even fake news outlets like The Sun can't help but jump out and pretend to be serious about the issue.

However, the "Sun" is the "Sun" after all, and after only two sentences of discussion, it unconsciously went to the question of the sun. The topic soon became: "Which talent who may win the lottery is the object with whom the majority of female friends are most willing to go to Wushan?" ”

However, the specific emotions aroused by this news are not quite the same in European countries, and in France, people have become accustomed to applauding the Academy of Sciences. Everyone felt that this reflected the spirit of France's pursuit of science and progress, and the huge prize money also reflected the prosperity and richness of France.

As for the possible winners, the French mostly agree that the medical prize will definitely go to the Irishman Carol. But there was nothing dissatisfying about him not being French. Carol's teacher was French anyway, and he had only achieved such an achievement in France. In addition, there is a high probability that the mathematics prize will be awarded to the French. Of course, the young man of the Rhine League called Gauss was also very popular, considering that he was younger and of course more handsome, so there were still many girls in France who were more willing to support him.

As for the Rhine Union, everyone's attention is on Gauss, and everyone is speculating whether their little fellow will win the award, but considering that this award is issued by the French after all, everyone thinks that the chances of the French winning the award should be greater.

"But it doesn't matter, Gauss is still young anyway, and considering that the French have always behaved fairly, well, even if you don't get it this time, there will still be a chance in two years, even if it is two years later...... Four years later, it would be his turn. That's what many North Germans who care about.

But on the British side, after seeing the news, the situation is different. They were initially surprised and excited, but soon discovered an embarrassing phenomenon. In this selection, there seems to be nothing to do with the British.

Medicine, British medicine, traditionally. It's not backward, but it's not far behind. In fact, before that great breakthrough, doctors all over Europe were basically Mongolian butchers. So if you can't get this, that's nothing. Anyway, I didn't see this selection, and so far, everyone has nominated only Dr. Carroll. So this award has nothing to do with the UK, this is really chilling.

But the math award is different. I think that at the beginning, when Lord Newton was still there, Lord Newton alone suppressed the entire European continent. (Of course, the Lord's means are a bit of that or something) even, what is the most important and greatest work of Lord Newton? "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy"! Nowadays, British mathematicians can't even make it shortlisted, which is really TM shabby.

Of course, there will be prizes for physics and chemistry next year, but the British have calculated that unless Sir Newton is resurrected, there will be no suspense at all in the physics prize, and Joseph, who promoted the arrival of the electrification era, will definitely be his as long as he participates; As for chemistry, if Monsieur Lavoisier attends, well, it will not be a suspense at all. As for the United Kingdom, it is still only a watch, and it doesn't even have the confidence to say that this award is too biased in favor of the French. This is really cold, really TM cold! So in some newspapers, there was immediately such a soul torture:

"What's wrong with the country? Why have we fallen from the most advanced country in the world to this place in such a short period of time? It just has to be ......."

This is certainly not a systemic issue. At this point, the British media is quite self-conscious. Whether it is the Tories, or the Whigs, or the New Tories, it is clear that no matter how much they fight, they cannot really bring this platform down. They can't eat and smash the pot, so at this point, they still have a very bottom line, and the bottom line is: the United Kingdom's system is the most perfect in the world, it is the end of history, it is the ultimate truth, and there is no doubt about it.

Since there is no problem with the system, it can only be a problem of physique, to put it more clearly, that is-this generation of people is not good, and there is not a single mathematical genius!

So the newspapers naturally denounced the young generation in Britain, saying that they were idle and did not do their jobs. Then these newspapers further pointed out that if they don't repent well and study hard, they will soon be slapped to death on the beach by the back waves of France, you know?

British college students are naturally not convinced, they feel that they are actually very serious, and you can't compare anyone well, you compare Gauss with a pervert! This guy was already very good before he went to the University of Paris, okay? Besides, who was Gauss's teacher? Joseph Bonaparte! Look at our teachers here, which one can catch up with him?

By the way, have you read the preface to the epoch-making paper in The Lancet? Ah, you certainly haven't seen it. In the UK, journalists are generally uneducated, where would they go to see such things? Well, Dr. Carroll admitted there that the whole idea and direction of research was proposed by Dean Bonaparte. If you say that if Gauss's position is replaced by me, then I can do it, we dare not say this; But if we want to change Carol's position to us, then we really dare to say that I can do it! But is there such a good teacher in the UK? Dean Bonaparte gave up all this honor to his students, and in England, even if there was such a paper, perhaps Carol's name would be lost somewhere. So, it's all you who are in front of you!

Since the university students decided that Britain was lagging behind in science, mainly because of the previous waves, the best and most logical thing to do was, of course, to go to France and study at all. Not to mention medicine, since the "Lancet paper incident", no patient dares to let them see a doctor if they don't go to France to study. Now, after a careful discussion, it is found that not only medicine, but also mathematics and other natural sciences can no longer be studied in England.

"Now in England, you can learn 'Shakespeare' and 'Milton'. As for the natural sciences, there is no way to learn them! ”

As British university students questioned the quality of British universities, French newspapers immediately jumped in. They introduced the schools in France to British students who were interested in studying in France. When describing these schools, the French newspapers came up with a very convincing ranking, which was calculated according to certain rules based on the papers of each school in the official journal of the French Academy of Sciences, Nature, and the number of citations. This ranking is quite detailed, with both the overall ranking of each school and the ranking of individual subjects of each school. For students who want to study in France, this ranking is really easy to use.

"Why don't we have this ranking in the UK?" Many British students can't help but ask such a question.

This question naturally begs the question of where UK universities would rank if they were to be included in the rankings. There are really good people who have calculated according to this model, because in the past year or two, many students in the United Kingdom, after completing their papers, are also more willing to give priority to submitting papers to Nature, because although the French are very picky when reviewing, they are quite generous in giving money.

In the end, the results were not very satisfactory, and Cambridge was actually ranked behind a certain normal school in France. That's really ...... Of course, this is not entirely revealing, because after all, the British are not like the French, who submit all papers to Nature. Therefore, the level of Oxbridge should still be stronger than that of any higher normal school, probably, it should be about the same as that of the University of Paris. Well...... At most, it's a little bit worse, really, just a little bit worse.

However, despite such a forcible explanation, it has become a trend for a large number of British young people to study in France, and this, incidentally, has brought another complaint, that is: British passenger ships are too unconscionable, expensive and uncomfortable! There is no comparison with the European one! The "Navigation Regulations" have raised those shipowners into lazy worms!
