Chapter 812: Digging the Nobel Corner
Germany, University of Munich, Pei Jun, who is the scientific counselor of the Chinese Legation in Germany, is here with the Institute of Physics of the University of Munich, Professor of Physics Wilhelm? Conrad? Röntgen talks about the China Science and Technology Take-off Award that China will award him.
"Professor Roentgen, we in China intend to select you as the winner of the Science Prize in our China Science and Technology Take-off Award. Our Soaring Award is not within the scope of the world, regardless of race, creed, nationality, color, gender and other factors, will award medals and awards, and even rich bonuses. Even, if in the future, you can unconditionally receive the funds funded by the Chinese government free of charge, without asking for anything in return. Can you go to China to receive the award? Pei Jun asked.
Röntgen asked rhetorically: "Are you setting up this award to compete with the Nobel Prize?" ”
Now Europe knows that the Nobel Prize will be announced next year for the first time. Of course, the influence of the current Nobel Prize is far from being comparable to that of future generations. The authority of the Nobel Prize is also gradually increasing, and it is not authoritative from the beginning. However, the current Nobel Prize is famous because of his impartiality. He did not set any conditions, whether it was nationality, color, creed, gender, etc. Other countries may have many additional conditions, such as being a citizen of their own country, or holding an office in their own country's institutions, etc. In short, they also have a lot of special conditions, which does not mean that everyone agrees. And the reason why this Nobel Prize is famous is because he is unconditional, and it is because of unconditionality that everyone pays attention. Impartiality is also an important reason for the development of the Nobel Prize, although the Nobel Prize has also had some omissions, but there are no major scandals, at least it is countless times cleaner than many other awards.
Of course. Now that Europe knows that the Nobel Prize will be released next year, everyone is curious about who the first Nobel laureate is. However, even this Roentgen did not know that he was the first person to win the Nobel Prize in physics.
Wang Guorui felt that he was robbing people this time, although Wang Guorui is not a professional in science, but he has also seen an introduction in middle school physics class. Say that a scientist discovered the so-called X-rays. The result won the first Nobel Prize in Physics. Since Wang Guorui knew that the first Nobel Prize in Physics would be awarded next year, it is said that this X-ray had already been discovered before. And since Wang Guorui knew that this X-ray was the first Nobel Prize in physics, he could naturally easily investigate who the person who discovered the X-ray was through various channels in Europe, such as intelligence agencies and formal diplomatic agencies. Therefore, he soon planned to award the first Take-off Prize of Science to this Roentgen.
Wang Guorui is here to grab business, so he went directly to dig the corner of the Nobel Prize, and dug up the winners of the first Nobel Prize, so that he could receive the take-off award.
"Monsieur Röntgen, this is an award proposed by His Majesty the Emperor, based on the award of those who have contributed to the development of science throughout the world. And our Emperor His Majesty thinks. Anyone who contributes to science and human development should be rewarded, not by international color, gender, etc. Of course, His Majesty the Emperor does not deny that this is because he was inspired by Mr. Nobel. But Nobel is a Nobel, can't our emperor create an award? ”
Thanks to the fact that the current Nobel Prize does not have the same authority as later generations. If a country or individual wants to set up an award in the future, I'm afraid many people don't want to believe him. After all, the Nobel Prize has been authoritative for so many years. There is already no doubt about it. However, at present, the Nobel Prize has just started, so the two sides are on the same starting line to compete, and they will rely on their own abilities in the future.
Of course, Roentgen himself did not know that he had been listed as one of the candidates for the Nobel Prize, because the candidates for the Nobel Prize were not made public and would take fifty years to be declassified. So every Nobel laureate before it is announced. I didn't even know I was nominated. Even if some people have some speculation, it will take 50 years to be verified. So Roentgen himself didn't know that he had actually become one of the Nobel Prize candidates, and now he was probably going to be cut off.
"Are there any mandatory conditions for your award?" Röntgen asked.
Pei Jun shook his head and said, "No, there are no mandatory conditions. If you go to us China to receive the award. Then we can give you a reward of 10,000 yuan, which is worth about 1,300 pounds. Moreover, if you only win this Tengfei Award, you can apply for Chinese nationality at any time, as long as you are alive, and we China will accept it unconditionally, and you can enjoy the highest level of benefits. Even if you don't join our Chinese nationality, as long as you take the medal or certificate of this take-off award to any of our Chinese government's overseas offices, you can get the best and highest priority service. Of course, we are also unconditional to enjoy these services, and we will not force you to pay anything, nor will we coerce you into joining our nationality to serve us. Even, the cost incurred by this is borne by the Chinese government. ”
Although on the surface this seems to be a loss for the Chinese government, it serves the other side, but does not want the other side to pay anything, so it is actually losing money. But again, if you are reluctant to pay this money, how can other scientists really know that you value science in the future? If you deal with those scientists, you will give them the impression of being stingy, which is not conducive to development. Therefore, the money will come out, what if you are wronged? As long as we can establish the practice that China attaches importance to science and does not skimp money for the sake of science, then many people will value China's determination to develop science in the future, and some people will naturally come to take refuge. If you care about everything, what do you make those scientists think? Every scientist likes to follow a stingy boss, scientific research costs money, and it is not a small amount, and it is not a small amount to follow a person who cares about catties, then the scientist will not be comfortable. Therefore, you must show that you value science and respect science, but you must also show that you are willing to spend money for science and scientific talents, regardless of the cost, so that scientists all over the world can pay attention to you.
"Even, if you lack research funds in the future, you can also have the right to apply for some funding from us. Moreover, these funds are made with no additional strings attached. Of course, whether the funds are given, or whether they are amount, also depends on the approval of our domestic science and technology departments, please understand. However, we will definitely not put any conditions on this. ”
When Röntgen heard this, he was immediately shocked, and immediately asked: "Even if we use your funds to serve other countries, you will not pursue it?" ”
"No, it's all about contributing to human development anyway, and that's certainly a good thing!"
Roentgen really felt that it was a surprise, because since ancient times, funding research has often been conditional. For example, if you want to use the results to serve the person who provided the funds, or if you want to ask for a patent in the future, etc. And this Wang Guorui's take-off award can not only provide funding, but there are no conditions. Even if he used his own funds to serve others, then Wang Guorui recognized it. And Wang Guorui claims to contribute to the progress of human science and technology, so that's fine.
In this way, Roentgen really felt that Wang Guorui really valued science, rather than thinking for his own private interests, and really invested hard for the development of science, regardless of returns. Isn't that the owner that a scientist wants? A huge investment that does not ask for a return, and gives you a big bonus, so that not the boss that all scientists want?
"Hey, it's a pity that your emperor is not a European, this is a bit troublesome!" Röntgen said hesitantly.
Roentgen's only regret is that Wang Guorui is not European, otherwise he would not have hesitated to accept the award. But since the other party is an Oriental, he also has some scruples. However, as a big fool who was asked to come by the country, Pei Jun immediately thought of a way.
"Well, let's consider whether we can let Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands present the award to you Europeans, what do you think? You should know the relationship between Queen Wilhelmina and our emperor, and this has spread all over Europe. The queen also gave birth to a princess to our emperor, who is a double princess of the two countries. I think it's acceptable for Her Majesty to present you with an award, right? Pei Jun asked.
"Okay, if I ask the Queen of the Netherlands to give me an award, then I can accept it." Röntgen said.
At the same time, in Paris, France, a couple also accepted the invitation of the Chinese Science and Technology Counsellor in France to go to China to receive the Tengfei Award. And the conditions they received were the same as those of the Roentgenium, which made them all quite excited.
Of course, perhaps the enemy does not know what the name of this couple is at present, but if future generations of Chinese will definitely know that the wife in this couple, his name is Marie Curie, is the famous Marie Curie. The family is the most prolific Nobel laureate, with her husband winning once, Marie Curie twice, and their daughter and son-in-law working together once. A family has won five Nobel Prizes, this is a real high-yield family!
If the Nobel Prize selection committee had known that these people were actually theirs, they would have fainted in the toilet crying. (To be continued.) )
