Chapter 460: December 10th
At about 15 o'clock on December 10, Stockholm has entered the long dark night of Nordic winter.
However, the darkness and cold did not dissipate the enthusiasm.
The entrance of the Stockholm Grand Hotel is crowded with journalists from all over the world, holding cameras or microphones, quietly waiting for an opportunity, waiting for a figure.
"Brother, there are a lot of people out there."
Standing in front of the window of the hotel, Xiaotong, who has always been very lively on weekdays, is a little stage frightened at this time.
Although she has also experienced a lot of exercise in the past two and a half years, the school-level activities of Jinling University are still a little "shabby" compared with such a world-class event.
Lu Zhou: "Scared? ”
Xiaotong nodded.
Lu Zhou smiled: "Then you and Lao Tang and the others go together, if you are really not used to it, there is no need to force yourself." ”
The Stockholm Concert Hall was headed to the Stockholm Concert Hall in two groups, one for Nobel laureates and their accompanying relatives, and the other for guests invited to the award ceremony and the dinner that followed. Although the difference is only in the ceremony, it gives a different feeling.
Xiao Tong shook his head.
Although she was a little timid, it was clear that she still didn't want to miss the event.
Looking at Xiao Tong's tangled expression, Lu Zhou shook his head with a smile.
After a pause, he said, "Just follow me for a while, don't think about the rest." ”
Maybe it's because Lu Zhou's tone is more reliable, and Xiao Tong, who is worried, has a sense of security.
Staring at the crowd of people outside the hotel, she suddenly spoke.
"Dude."
Lu Zhou: "What's wrong again?" ”
Pinching the curtain with his index finger, Xiaotong whispered, "What have you experienced over the years?" ”
Hearing this question, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, and then smiled suddenly.
"That's a long story, if you really want to say it, let alone for a while, I'm afraid that a book is not enough."
Xiaotong stuck out his tongue: "Pretending to be forced again." ”
"This is not pretending," Speaking of the topic of growth, Lu Zhou's heart was also full of emotion, and after a pause, he joked with a smile, "What?" Do you feel like I'm not like me anymore? ”
Xiao Tong shook his head, don't turn his head and stop talking, but the corners of his mouth are upturned.
Although the old brother does change a lot.
But for her, it doesn't make a difference.
His brother is still the reliable brother......
On the other side, also standing in front of the window.
Compared with Xiaotong's apprehension, looking at Lao Lu outside through the crack in the curtain, the expression on his face was much calmer.
If it is accompanied by a cigarette, the expression is even more charming......
But unfortunately, if he lights a cigarette here, he will probably be in the news tomorrow.
Looking at her husband's expression, Fang Mei couldn't help but joke: "You are calm, but there is a reporter to interview for a while, aren't you nervous?" ”
Lao Lu Mian didn't change his color, and said calmly: "My son is so angry with me, we can't embarrass my son, right?" Besides, when we go out and face the world, we represent the face of the country, and we can't let people look down on us, right? ”
Fang Mei teased: "You old man, I went to the logistics department to read the newspaper for a year, and the sesame officer didn't become a sesame official, but I learned your leader's set." ”
"What old man," Lao Lu glanced at Fang Mei and said to his wife, "Can fifty years old be considered old?" ”
Poked his arm, Fang Mei said with a smile: "I have white hair, and I am not old." ”
While I was talking, it was time to leave.
took his parents and Xiaotong, and followed Academician Staffan downstairs.
Looking at the hotel door getting closer and closer, feeling the emotions gradually stirring in his chest, Lu Zhou gently straightened the tie on his chest, took a deep breath, and walked forward.
This moment.
It's finally here!
……
Outside the hotel, it was cold but the atmosphere was hot.
Laboriously squeezed to the front row, the CTV reporter in a down jacket stood in front of his companion's camera with the microphone in his hand, and used his emotional voice to convey the grand occasion to the audience thousands of kilometers away.
"This is the Stockholm Grand Hotel, and we are waiting for the winners who will be attending the Nobel Prize ceremony at the Stockholm Concert Hall."
"There are so many people here, and everyone is very emotional and excited. In addition to journalists from other media, there are also local citizens of Stockholm, as well as overseas Chinese compatriots - look! ”
It's too late to explain.
With a commotion of the crowd at the door, a group of figures walked out of the door of the hotel.
The camera pans quickly, locking on to the figure.
Accompanied by his parents and Xiaotong, Lu Zhou, who was bathed in the camera, walked out of the VIP passage of the hotel. Next to him there were other Nobel laureates, some alone and others as a couple.
However, there is no doubt that even standing in the middle of a group of monuments to the human mind, that figure is the most unique.
Whether it's because of his youth.
Or because of his self-confidence.
Perhaps aware of the CTV's lens, Professor Lu looked over and smiled and nodded to the camera and the audience behind it.
Capturing Lu Zhou's sight, the reporter was even more excited, and his voice even trembled slightly because of excitement.
"Walking in front of us is this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry winner Lu Zhou! His family is by his side, sharing this glorious moment with him. ”
"There is no doubt that at the age of 24, he will become the youngest Nobel laureate in the world!"
"This is another Nobel Prize for the Chinese!"
"It is also the first Nobel Prize in Chemistry for a Chinese scholar!"
In order to stand out from the noisy environment, at the end of the day, his voice was a little hoarse, and even broke out because of excitement.
However, no one will blame him for this.
At this exciting moment, many people were just as excited as he was.
If he could, he was very eager to put the microphone in front of Lu Zhou and interview the young Nobel laureate for his thoughts at this moment.
Unfortunately, the queue will not stop, and those who want to interview the world-renowned scholar up close will have to wait until after the award ceremony.
Smiling and nodding to the microphones coming from both sides of the aisle, Lu Zhou boarded the car waiting in front of the hotel and went to the award ceremony with other Nobel laureates.
As in previous years.
At about 16:30, the Nobel Prize award ceremony officially kicked off with the singing of the Swedish royal music "Song of the King".
More than 1,300 people attended the ceremony, including members of the Nobel family, members of the royal family, political leaders, and people from all walks of life in the cultural and academic circles.
And to make the ceremony look solemn enough, every minute of the ceremony was carefully choreographed, whether it was the white bow tie and black tuxedo worn by the winners, or the flower crowns that adorned the ceremony.
It is interesting to say that the Nobel Prize ceremony itself costs even more than the prize money it gives out each year.
And that's exactly what happened.
In the weeks leading up to the banquet, the Nobel Foundation's ceremonial secretariat was as busy as the Army's General Staff, all in order to keep the ceremony organized.
On this international stage, the first to walk on the podium and deliver a speech was the Nobel Foundation. Sihenrik Helding.
In his opening remarks, he praised the laureates as role models and authorities, and hoped that they would continue their work and make greater scientific discoveries and better works in the future......
Standing behind the podium, Lu Zhou took a deep breath softly, calming his breathing that was a little disturbed by his emotions.
As far as he was concerned, what Mr. Helding was saying, he could no longer hear clearly.
Until the chairman of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry Review Committee, Academician Klaas, walked onto the podium.
Until he read it in a solemn and loud voice to the guests in the hall.
"For a long time, the chemistry community has been plagued by obvious problems, and how to establish the quantitative relationship between structure and properties is one of the most important problems that chemistry must think about in the 21st century."
"And as we know, the theory of electrochemical interfaces is an important pillar of modern electrochemistry. The inability to thoroughly elucidate the microscopic nature of the various electrochemical processes that occur at the interface means that we have no way of knowing what the chemical phenomena are happening in front of us. ”
At this, Academician Lacks paused for about two seconds.
"However, he used mathematical methods to open up a new way of thinking for our research. And countless research results have proven that he is right. ”
In response to the eyes of the audience looking at him, Academician Lacks raised his voice and announced the decision of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry jury.
"The winner of this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry is Professor Lu Zhou from China!"
"Let's give him a round of applause."
The latter sentence is not the content of the speech, and it is even completely redundant.
Because at the moment when Academician Klaas's previous sentence fell, the splendid Stockholm Concert Hall was already filled with thunderous applause......
