Time is like water, always sneaking through the fingers when people are not looking.

The Nobel Prize season is at the end of October and the beginning of November every year, and the authority of the Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology and Medicine is beyond doubt, with the exception of the notorious so-called Peace Prize, which has become a tool in the hands of some people, and the Literature Prize, which is the opinion of the wise.

Of course, there is also a rather embarrassing economics award, although it is quite reliable most of the time, but sometimes it is awarded to the lord who is slapped in the face in the blink of an eye.

At this time of year, Scandinavia becomes the center of the entire Blue Star media, and although scientists are not as interesting as movie stars or football stars, after all, technology is the core driving force of human development.

This year, the media in China are more excited than in previous years, Wang Yinan and Li Wenjing's theory of high-temperature superconductivity, and of course, the theory of molecular machines, are the favorites to win the physics or chemistry prizes from any point of view.

So before the awards season arrived, various media outlets rushed to Nordic Europe, all wanting to get first-hand news.

Now it's not as good as ever, I used to go out for a trip and have to make a report, and I have to apply for something, and the cost looks scary, now as long as the family is well-off, who hasn't gone out to play two or three times, as for Nordic Europe, it is an ideal tourist destination, especially the mermaid in the window, thinking about it makes single dogs crazy.

So in Scandinavia in October, there were a lot of Chinese people all of a sudden, most of them holding long guns and short guns, taking pictures of everything in front of them, even if they couldn't get the news of the Nobel Prize Committee, they could send a little travel notes to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which could attract many readers.

And in the middle of Europa, under the Alps, a small and handsome Chinese is gritting his teeth in the underground base of the Guardian Alliance.

Although he didn't want to know any news about Sweden, he couldn't help but open his laptop and browse the latest news of the awards season.

Young people are very depressed to find that among all the predictions, the winner of the Nobel Prize in physics is the least suspenseful, Wang Yinan and Li Wenjing's high-temperature superconductivity theory, in the eyes of almost all experts, are the first candidates.

"I can't think of any reason why this year's Nobel Prize in Physics should not be awarded to these two young men," Witten, a former Nobel laureate in physics, said in an interview.

"The theory of high-temperature superconductivity, as well as the superconductors in the temperature region of dry ice made through theory, and of course the superconductors at room temperature obtained by means of self-cooling, are undoubtedly the biggest advances in physics this year, and they don't even need a word or two."

"The theory of lattice frequency and the Ang-Li pair is the most ingenious and insightful theory of physics I have seen since the Yang-Mills gauge field theory, and I believe that this theory will point out a new direction for future mesoscopic physics".

"With the advent of new crystalline materials and the introduction of various lattice hypotheses, this direction has become a reality," says Witten.

"I would be very, very surprised if this year's Nobel Prize in Physics were awarded to someone else," Witten said at the end of his interview.

The young man, whose face was a little pale, slammed his fist on the table, the laptop jumped up at once, and the coffee cup on the side also fell over on the table in the vibration, and the coffee spilled out at once.

He scrambled to his feet, covered the coffee on the table with a paper towel, and was relieved to see that the laptop was safe and sound, and then sat down in a dejected manner.

If Wang Yinan saw this young man, he would have been surprised, he was supposed to play the role of Thomas's son-in-law in Princeton, but he appeared in Europa, the laboratory of the Guardian Alliance.

He is Wang Yinan's college classmate, one of the fast 4, Cheng Qian.

It turned out that after Wang Yinan and Li Wenjing published a series of papers, Cheng Qian and Thomas, who were still in Princeton, reluctantly found that they had lost the competition, completely lost, and there was no possibility of turning the tables around.

Wang Yinan was too ruthless, and found two Fields Medal winners to endorse him, first using dazzling mathematical theories to attract the attention of the entire Blue Star, as well as the recognition of the academic community.

Then the superconductor in the liquid nitrogen temperature region beyond imagination was used to completely end the critical temperature competition.

Not to mention finding Imperial Capital University and even the entire Huaguo as his backer, he used a huge press conference to issue a declaration of victory in front of the eyes of the entire Blue Star.

Thomas is a bit famous and status in the academic world, and he has a lot of new acquaintances, but when he encounters such a broken posture, he can only stare dryly.

Wang Yinan and Li Wenjing have announced in their papers the composition of superconducting materials in the dry ice temperature region, and even self-cooling superconducting materials at room temperature, Cheng Qian's little tricks, the little secret is immediately worthless, he and Thomas, of course, Thomas's "baby daughter" soon fell out, and Cheng Qian was kicked out of Princeton.

Soon, Cheng Qian, who had nothing to do but research, became impoverished, and with his academic level, there was no problem in finding a good university to teach in the rice country, but Thomas spoke, if anyone hired Cheng Qian, they would not be able to get along with him, and they would not be able to get along with Princeton.

Cheng Qian didn't dare to return to China, you must know that the little he did had already been mastered by the relevant departments, and it is estimated that as soon as he gets off the plane, he will have free tea to enjoy.

Just when he was desperate, Smith, the owner of Smith's candy store, found him, and everyone knew that this guy was the modern-day Lancelot, so Cheng Qian came to Europa and became a full-time researcher in the Guardian Alliance.

Arthur did not treat him badly, after all, most of the R&D strength of the Guardian Alliance relied on various universities in Europa, and there were still not many full-time researchers in the headquarters, so Arthur quickly handed over the Guardian Alliance's research on superconducting materials to him.

The Guardian Alliance's many years of heritage are not covered, and soon, Cheng Qian has made a lot of achievements in his original work, and he has also been treated differently by Arthur, and the mix is finally very good.

Until today, Cheng Qian felt that he had forgotten his identity as a loser, but he opened the news of the Nobel Prize by mistake, and it turned out that his subconscious was still reminding himself all the time, "You are a loser".

"Not convinced?" , a man's voice came from behind him,

"No, I'm just", Cheng Qian subconsciously replied, after a long while, he lowered his voice and didn't look back,

"Yes, I'm not convinced, why him", Cheng Qian said,

"I'm smarter than him, more handsome than him, and I'm the teacher's earliest student, why would the old guy choose him",

This guy doesn't want to think about it, does Li Shiyao have a choice, he takes something and runs away, if he doesn't run, maybe it's really his.

Arthur walked over and patted Cheng Qian's shoulder, "If you lose, you lose", Arthur said,

"But you don't lose unjustly, our people used the latest neural network to specifically analyze Wang Yinan and Li Wenjing's papers, and found something very interesting."

Cheng Qian's eyes immediately lit up, "Is there a mistake in the paper?" ”，

"Publish it quickly, let them be ruined",

Arthur shook his head, "You still refuse to accept the reality, you are a professional researcher yourself, do you think there is a mistake in their paper?" Arthur asked,

Cheng Qian's eyes immediately dimmed, and he said dejectedly, "There are no mistakes, very beautiful and delicate paper", and after a while, he added,

"Objectively speaking, it's a masterpiece", Cheng Qian asked suspiciously,

"And what did you find through the neural network?" ，

"Very interesting discovery," says Arthur.

"We use neural networks to build an axiom system about papers, which is used to find the logic of papers and discoveries, although we can't make any big discoveries, we can still judge whether the logic of the paper is reasonable, find a certain paper is the result of referring to other papers, etc."

"We analyzed all the physics, mathematics and chemistry papers we could find, and in general, the results of the neural network were very reliable, so we analyzed the papers of Wang Yinan and Li Wenjing", Arthur smiled mysteriously on his face,

"The results were very astonishing findings," says Arthur.

"What an amazing discovery", Cheng Qian asked,

"If the relationship between each paper and the others can be represented by a tree," Arthur said, taking a whiteboard and drawing a tree-like structure on it.

"Basically it's a tree that is upside down at the bottom and thin at the top, which is also reasonable, because the progress of each paper is based on the work of a large number of other predecessors",

"Some papers have only one very long trunk on the basis of many root systems, which is to establish their own logical system on the basis of the existing theoretical values, but logically you will find that this trunk is almost an inevitable result, that is, every section of the trunk is a logical necessity",

"But Wang Yinan's paper is different from Li Wenjing's", Arthur drew a strange tree on the whiteboard,

"The first is that there are very few roots, they refer to very few papers, and the connection with these reference papers is not very close, or the reference is a bit far-fetched",

"Then there is the trunk that is very long, more than ten times longer than any other paper, and that every step of the trunk can in fact be considered not logically necessary, i.e. there are a great number of possibilities", Arthur drew dense bifurcations on the trunk, but made a cross on top of these bifurcations.

"It's really weird," Cheng said, "and the question is, what does this mean?" ”，

Arthur shook his head, "You are still not sensitive enough, our experts have come to the conclusion that otherwise Wang Yinan and Li Wenjing's luck is too good, in a short period of time, every assumption made is correct",

"This probability is probably less than 1 in 200,000",

"That's impossible, for scientists, such a probability is impossible," Cheng Qian said.

"Then there's only one possibility," Arthur nodded.
