In 1928, when Mao Yunxian in Kunming held the two letters in Chinese and English in his hand, he was slightly stunned, it was actually a letter sent from Sweden. The sender is the Nobel Prize Jury. The recipient of one letter is the Southwest Political Axe, and the other two letters are entrusted to the Southwest Political Axe to be forwarded to Mr. Zou Shuming, a medical scientist in the Southwest, and Mr. Zhou Zikai, a biologist in the Southwest.

"Huh? Nobel Prize in Biology and Medicine? Zou Shuming and Zhou Zikai won the award? ”

When Zhang Shusheng got the letter, he couldn't help but smile heartily, but he didn't expect that the Swedes actually sent award notices to Zou Shuming and Zhou Zikai, inviting them to go to Sweden to participate in the award ceremony held at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden.

In his memory, wasn't the Nobel Prize supposed to be a global recommendation letter first, with a nominator recommending it, and then the results being announced in October? It seems that these old-fashioned old Western men have exceptions, perhaps, they think this is a breakthrough in history, because finally some people are qualified to win the so-called "sick man of East Asia". After all, not everyone is racist, and not every Westerner doesn't want to see other peoples rise scientifically. Therefore, in May, they made an exception and notified these two scholars from the Oriental countries who were far away in the East and had not had any contact with the Nobel Prize.

The reason for the award is that Zou Shuming and Zhou Zikai have made great contributions to the discovery of penicillin and played a leading role in the application of this drug to clinical treatment. After the unanimous approval of the Nobel Prize in Medicine, Zou Shuming and Zhou Zikai won the 1928 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

"Yun Xian, what do you think about this?" Zhang Shusheng handed the opened letter to Mao Yunxian, motioned him to take a look, and said his opinion.

"Chief, I have conflicting opinions." After reading it first, Mao Yun smiled, closed the letter, and said his thoughts unhurriedly, "After all, the Nobel Prize is a scientific prize with a global surname, if it is a happy event, it is naturally reasonable, after all, this is the first time we have won the award." However, our Chinese thinking is relatively conservative, and some conservative social idleness is afraid that a Chinese scientist will go abroad to receive an award. ”

"In fact, any major invention or discovery will not be confined to one country, and sooner or later it will make a great contribution to the whole world. Zou Shuming and Zhou Zikai were able to win the award, which also proves that our modern drugs represented by penicillin have been internationally recognized. You arrange it, I'll go to the biological and medical base to have a look. ”

Zhang Shusheng waved his hand, whether to receive the Nobel Prize or not, he personally would not force anyone. Although he was the one behind the discovery of penicillin, Zou Shuming and Zhou Zikai did make many significant contributions.

For example, Zou Shuming, after completing the industrial production of penicillin, devoted himself to the research and production preparation of more than a dozen new drugs, and made absolutely indelible contributions to the development of medicine in southwest China. After all, Zhang Shusheng is not a genius in medicine, leading people into the door, development depends on the individual, Zou Shuming got the opportunity to discover penicillin, but he gained great confidence, this genius who graduated from Harvard Medical School, out of control, completed the principle analysis and large-scale production of a variety of new drugs.

And Zhou Zikai worked harder. Zhang Shusheng's earliest hybrid rice technology was handed over to him through side knocking, and then this excellent genetic biologist who graduated from Yale University in biogenetics not only perfected a series of new varieties in the theory of hybrid rice, but also completed the research and large-scale production of a considerable number of new drugs, including penicillin, together with Zou Shuming.

However, it is a pity that the promotion and use of hybrid rice, although it has caused great repercussions in the southwest, has caused relatively little impact in the international community. The main reason is that many Western countries have not studied rice as a crop, and from hearsay, from the mouths of some Westerners who have returned to China, they have only heard that the crops in the southwest are good, and after planting for one or two seasons, every household will not have to worry about eating. Most people laugh when they hear it, and occasionally scholars know about it, but they don't have the opportunity to look at it, after all, rice is far less effective than penicillin is sold in the West.

In Zhang Shusheng's personal opinion, Zhou Zikai should be the first Chinese in southwest China to be eligible for the Nobel Prize, but fate seems to be unfair, but he has been compensated with Zou Shuming in penicillin.

The biological and medical base of the Southwest Political Axe is built in a science and technology park. Biology, genetics, cutting-edge medicine, theoretical pharmacy, and many other disciplines intersect here. For example, Zhou Zikai is mainly responsible for the research of plant genetics and human genetics, but he can also help Zou Shuming in the field of pharmacy when researching new drugs. The intersection of various disciplines also maximizes the use of scientific and technological talent resources.

“…… In the history of the development of genetics, Mendel was the first to propose that the surname of organisms is controlled by genetic factors. In our research on the genetic phenomena of animals, plants and humans, we found that this genetic factor is a kind of biological code, which plays a role in ensuring the inheritance of common biological characteristics when the species is inherited. Foreign research in this area started earlier, but our domestic research is not late. One thing I can tell you is that we Chinese scientists have been able to conduct some preliminary research on this genetic material called DNA, and I hope that you will study hard, and you may become scholars at the forefront of genetics in the future......"

Both Zhou Zikai and Zou Shuming have teaching assignments at Southwest University, and there are not many classes, two classes a week. Zhou Zikai's class is genetic biology, and Zou Shuming's class is basic medicine.

When he got out of class, he saw Zou Shuming waiting for him, and a car from the base was parked next to him, which seemed to be here to pick up the two.

"Lao Zou, you have used your privilege today." Zhou Zikai knows Zou Shuming's personality very well, the two have worked together for many years, although they know that the other party will not use the bus for private use, but they still tease, pushing their Yunnan brand bicycle to turn over and ride on.

"Zikai, the chief is waiting for us at the base, don't ride today."

"That's okay, I'll go and park the car, how can the chief have time to go to the base and wait for us two grass-headed people."

When the two of them returned to the base in the same car, they saw Zhang Shusheng, who was dressed in a white dustproof suit, waiting silently outside when he was inspecting the dazzling array of new seedlings in the special greenhouse.

"Tree name, Zikai, come and walk together."

Zhang Shusheng straightened up from a tomato plant, saw two people outside the greenhouse, and called them to come in and walk around.

"How effective are these vegetables from frost, and can they be grown in winter?"

"The frost resistance effect is not too ideal, and we are conducting some experiments to try to come up with a few varieties next year."

After casually turning around and chatting about these crops related to the problem of farmers and society, Zhang Shusheng got down to business, "This time I'm not just here to hang out, but to bring you good news." The Nobel Prize Committee's letter has been sent to the United Governance, and the two of you have been awarded this year's Nobel Prize in Biology for discovering and applying penicillin to clinical practice. ”

"Nobel Prize?"

At first glance, both of them felt a jump in their hearts, this award has been awarded in the West for decades, and what it means, as scientists, they know very well. It's not that you need to be recognized for what you've researched, but once you win an award, whoever you are, you will instantly become a world-famous scientist.

Whether it was at Harvard Medical School or Yale University, Zou Shuming and Zhou Zikai had heard too many stories about this award, and many people could not win this award after a lifetime of scientific research, and even their mentors back then did not have this qualification. And the Nobel laureates, they have seen, are indeed the kind of old scholars and professors who are very old and highly respected.

How old are the two of you? Zhou Zikai is a little older, only 36 years old, and Zou Shuming is even only 33 years old.

"In our Chinese view, everything is about seniority. You may not have enough qualifications in the world's scientific community, but your scientific research activities have really changed the world. Whether it is penicillin or a new hybrid species, it is enough to cause scientific revolution and progress. As for this award, my personal opinion is to respect your meaning, and I will definitely support you if you say go. ”

Zhang Shusheng is indeed an enlightened person, perhaps for many years, when China's scientific and technological level far exceeds that of other countries in the world, he will establish a science prize far beyond the influence of the Nobel Prize, but today, the Nobel Prize is an affirmation of the Chinese.

Didn't Xiao Yuben say that the Chinese are the sick men of East Asia? Lao Tzu sent a delegation of hundreds of people to the Olympics. The Amsterdam Olympics to be held on May 17 this year, Lao Tzu wants to let Yu himself and those Westerners who despise the Chinese see whether the Chinese are the sick men of East Asia, and who is the sick man of East Asia.

Didn't Westerners say that there is no modern science in China, no bullish science prizes? Lao Tzu will let them go to receive the award, let you see, even if it is the Nobel Prize you care about the most, we Chinese can also take it. It's not that Lao Tzu cares about your broken award, the main thing is that you care about him, this time Lao Tzu let two people receive the award, and the next time Lao Tzu asks you not to award all the prizes of physics, biology, and chemistry to the Chinese, you will feel that you are not fair enough.

"In fact, the discovery and application of penicillin is not entirely due to us. The key information you gave, others have also contributed a lot. ”

It's not that Zou Shuming is modest, outsiders don't know, he knows very well how many scientific talents there are in the southwest. Compared with China in the past, today's southwest is no longer what it used to be. Scientific talents, Frankensteins, depressed old men, and young and middle-aged people from all over the world have come here either for ideals or for high salaries. Moreover, even Chinese, there are also a considerable number of international students and overseas Chinese who have returned.

Zou Shuming has been in the laboratory for a long time, and he doesn't know how many high-level scientists like Einstein and Tesla there are, but he knows that judging from the advanced scientific data he occasionally obtains, there are definitely many people in the southwest who are hiding dragons and crouching tigers. It's just that this chief is too low-key, and the management is strict, and many things are top secrets in secrets.

Zhang Shusheng shook his head and denied his idea, "Tree name, Zikai." You're not right. There are some things that are destined for someone to stand up and accept the honor. And some people are destined to work only behind the scenes. This is determined by the different division of labor. The Nobel Prize, I don't really value it very much, it's just a scientific award at best. It's just that Westerners value it very much. In that case, why don't we take it and take what outsiders value the most, which actually defeats outsiders. Perhaps, those classmates who looked down on you in the past, those mentors who despised you in the past, and those Westerners who did not put the Chinese in their eyes in the past, this time they had to admit defeat. Because, the weak in their eyes, this time they have to stand on the stage, and they can only sit under the stage as listeners, this is your victory, it will also be the southwest, and it is the victory of the whole of China. ”

"In that case, then let's follow the arrangement of the chief!" Zou Shuming and Zhou Zikai are not saints, and they thought about many factors and agreed.

Zhang Shusheng left satisfied, letting some people enjoy honor was something he had already thought about, while others would be destined to never have honor, which was indeed caused by the different division of labor. Those scientific teenagers who have been trained since childhood will be in this category. Zou Shuming and Zhou Zikai both went out to study abroad from China back then, and no one would believe that they were not geniuses. Originally, they were unknown in history, perhaps just because they did not have the opportunity to display their talents. Now that they have won the award, they may have pushed it, but it is still the result of their efforts, and their theoretical literacy and scientific research level have surpassed their counterparts in the same field in China. It is foreseeable that after the two of them, more scientific masters will emerge from the southwest, from the whole of China.

The experience of later generations has told me that it is not that the Chinese cannot win the Nobel Prize, but because of many special reasons, it has led to embarrassing results in later generations, and they can change that embarrassment.

The Nobel Prize, I want to win it myself. I will not give up the medals of the Olympic Games.

Not because they value it, but because those damned enemies value it. It is most enjoyable to snatch what they think is their own.

"Yun Xian, did Section Chief Li send a telegram back?"

Back in the office, Zhang Shusheng remembered what happened about the Olympics just now. The Olympic Games will be held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and Zhang Shusheng easily obtained the organizational rights from the All-China Sports Association, with Song Ruhai of the Association in the United States as the honorary leader, and Li Zongren, head of the Western European Affairs Section of the Southwest Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as the vice captain.

The selection of team members is also relatively simple, directly from the Dragon Tooth Special Forces and Tiger Special Forces and the Reserve Special Forces Brigade more than 50 outstanding team members, after a year of training for the surname. These soldiers, who have undergone the most rigorous training, also work very hard when training in sports. The biggest regret is that the shooting event was canceled, but in the 100-meter run, triple jump, 200-meter breaststroke, high jump, bicycle and other events, Zhang Shusheng used the data found in the dream machine database as a reference.

In the end, 25 players were selected, and at least all of them were bronze medalists. Even if the butterfly effect is taken into account, there should be many people who will win the award.

I have to say that Zhang Shusheng has such great confidence for no more than three reasons. First, the personal qualities of these special forces have far surpassed ordinary people, even if they are not comparable to the top professional athletes, but they are also comparable to the excellent quality of the current Chinese people. Secondly, knowing the award-winning results of the original historical projects can avoid mistakes and at least have a reference standard. The third and most important point is that the most elite special combat team members have all undergone their own special training, and at the critical moment, Zhang Shusheng didn't mind exchanging a little inefficient body-strengthening potion from the dream machine.

In this way, Zhang Shusheng didn't believe that he had both modern physical training and superhuman physical fitness, and if he couldn't win awards in some projects with low skill requirements, he would be killed headlong.

"Section Chief Li just sent back a telegram, saying that he had met with Mr. Song Ruhai, and the two sides had a very pleasant meeting, and he was currently waiting for the opening ceremony while letting the team members adapt to Western life and adjust their personal state." Mao Yun checked it first and reported.

"Okay, when the time comes, once there is news, you must notify me immediately."

"Yes, Chief."

On May 17, 1928, Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Amsterdam today is a sea of flowers, and the tulips unique to the Netherlands also bloomed at this time.

In the sea of flowers, the 9th Olympic Games have finally opened.

Audiences from all over the Netherlands, and even from other countries in Western Europe, have pushed the atmosphere of the opening ceremony to **. Quite a few people are talking about one thing: this year the Germans are back.

Others, however, are concerned about another issue.

"Mr. Herris, the preparations for the Olympics this time are very good, even the Chinese have sent a team of 25 athletes. What a great nation, but it has been forgotten by the world's choice of surname. Prince Hendrik of the Netherlands sighed to the Dutch Olympic President Jeris beside him.

"Dear Prince Hendrik, four years ago, the Chinese sent three tennis players to the Olympic Games, but I didn't expect to send a huge delegation of 25 people this time, which is really amazing."

"Yes, although there are not as many people as in the United States, I have a hunch that the Chinese will create a miracle."

After saying that, Prince Hendrik walked to the podium, and he will personally announce the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

As Prince Hendrik finished his speech, the host team of the Netherlands was the first to enter the stadium of the opening ceremony to the sound of the Dutch national anthem. The jubilant athletes, full of fighting spirit, won bursts of applause.

This was followed by teams of athletes from other countries, but when a strange flag entered the field, many people stood up curiously. This is a flag that has never been seen before.

On the bright red flag, there is a huge golden dragon, which is not the dwarf and weird reptilian dragons of Western mythology, but the real oriental dragon. There are some people of the older generation, although they remember that there was once a Chinese court called the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the east that used the dragon flag, but the dragon flag was much worse than the real dragon flag in front of them. Of course, it is too much worse, because this is the dragon flag directly designed by Zhang Shusheng with a dream machine, especially the dragon flag on the yellow cloth of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

"God!! Yes Chinese!!! ”

When the first voice exclaimed, everyone clearly saw the sign in the leader's hand, which clearly read: China, next to it with two smaller words: China.

Under the personal leadership of Li Zongren, 25 team members walked into the opening ceremony venue with an momentum that was absolutely not weaker than that of the more than 200 people in the United States.

"The Chinese must not be able to, I bet."

"Belrose, you always lose your bets."

"Baga, these sick men of East Asia still dare to come to the Olympics, the three of them were not embarrassed enough last time, yo Xi, if they meet the seeded players of the empire this time, they will definitely make them ugly."

"The mysterious Chinese, in four years, have changed from a three-person team to a 25-member delegation, which is really amazing."

…… In any case, even if the Chinese have not yet achieved anything, and even everyone is not optimistic about them, the appearance of 26 Chinese at the opening ceremony has caused a huge sensation.

Perhaps, this should be the Olympics that belongs to the people of the whole world, and even the Chinese have come, even if they cannot win, they still come, instead of wandering outside the whole world as before.

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is time for the official competition.

On July 1, the 100-meter sprint final was on the field.

Several sprinters from the United States, Canada, France, Germany and China, made it to the finals. This is the first time that a Chinese athlete has reached the final, and the entire stadium is overcrowded, and although the Chinese did not perform particularly well in the previous Olympic events, it is envious that 18 of their 25 athletes have reached the final. For the first time, the whole city of Amsterdam was in shock. For the Chinese, the Dutch are no strangers, and once occupied their territory, but now, are they too strong for people to face seriously?

Su Shanxing was the first Chinese athlete to reach the final, and he was luckier than the rest of the team because he was very confident that he would break the record of zero Chinese. When he was in the special forces, he was the fastest runner, whether it was within the Dragon Tooth Special Forces or in the exchange and competition with the Tiger Special Forces, he never lost. And after a year of sprinting training for his surname, he is more confident of getting a result. Before leaving, the commander-in-chief personally went to the training base to give lectures and visits, letting him know how meaningful what he was doing, and knowing more clearly that he could only win and not lose.

"I bet that Chinese will run the bottom of the table, his previous results were very average, just barely made it to the final."

"I think so, too, that German fighter is too strong, God, it's just a German flyer."

"The Canadian guy is a bit stronger."

In the midst of the audience's discussions, the starting officer on the track finally fired the starting gun, and the athletes from all over the world immediately rushed out like bullets.

"God, that's Chinese, he, he's running so fast......"

"God ......"

"Almighty Lord ......"

The distance of 100 meters was too close, and in the jaw-dropping crowd of tens of thousands of spectators at the scene, the No. 5 Chinese team member, who was originally the least favored, actually left behind one opponent after another at an incredibly fast speed, and crossed the finish line first with an absolute advantage.

3 seconds in 10 seconds!!

3 seconds in 10 seconds!!

3 seconds in 10 seconds!!

When the referee shouted this result almost frantically, everyone was so shocked that they forgot to applaud and forget to think, in their eyes, there was only one yellow person who was not too tall, the yellow man who was thrown up by his teammates to celebrate. In the midst of everyone's doubts and the disdain of many people, this Chinese actually won the sprint world championship in the traditional advantage of Westerners, unexpectedly to everyone.

Moreover, this result made him destined to be written into the sprint history of the Olympic Games.

The next day, the front page of the Amsterdam newspaper was a full-body photo of a Chinese named Su Shanxing wearing a No. 5 tracksuit, and the headline on the front page read:

"God! The Chinese dragon from the East broke the world record!!! ”――
