Chapter 291: Never Give Up Studying
In the process of awarding the Nobel Prize, it is obviously interesting to say "next time".
After all, who can guarantee that they will be able to win this award again?
Of course, it is quite a coincidence that Barry Sharpless, who won the Nobel Prize with Li Mu this year, won the Nobel Prize for the second time, and he is also the fifth person in history to win the Nobel Prize twice, he has won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry once in 2001, and now, he has won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry again.
For such a thing, not many people can make guarantees.
It's just that Gustav looked at the young man in front of him and had to express his belief.
Because, Li Mu has been able to win two consecutive awards just by virtue of his current achievements, such as the theory of superconductivity.
However, because the Nobel Prize Committee still needs to consider the comprehensive impact, it will probably take a lot of time to win the next award.
So, Gustav nodded and said with a smile: "Then I'm looking forward to the next time." ”
At the end of the awards, there was no speech at the award ceremony, and the speech session needed to wait until the end of the dinner.
Therefore, Li Mu then took his prize and left the stage under the classical music performance played by the Philharmonic Orchestra.
After returning to his seat, the relatives and friends next to him immediately looked over and looked at the prize in Li Mu's hand.
A certificate, a medal and, of course, a cheque representing SEK 10 million.
However, it is obvious that at this moment, the prize money equivalent to more than 7 million yuan after this conversion is not so attractive, and the golden medal, which represents the highest honor in the scientific community, is the most interesting to people.
"Quick! Show me what the legendary Nobel Prize looks like! ”
Li Ruyu, who was separated from Li Mu by a cloud, stretched out his hand directly to Li Mu.
Yun Rongshang is still a little reserved, but his eyes have been attracted to the past.
Li Mu smiled and handed the medal box to Li Ruyu's hand, and then the two girls immediately looked at each other, reaching out and touching it from time to time.
Compared with the prize money worth more than 7 million yuan, this medal is really valuable.
James Watson, the discoverer of the double helix structure of DNA, once sold him his Nobel Prize, and the final price was as high as $4.75 million, which is several times higher than the prize.
Of course, the texture of its 18-karat gold alone makes it look very gorgeous.
Then, the certificate in Li Mu's hand naturally did not remain in his hand, and was taken by his elders and observed.
Although the contents of the certificate were written in English and they could not understand it, it did not prevent them from taking out their mobile phones to take pictures.
Regarding this, Li Mu smiled and shook his head, but he didn't care too much, but he felt a little emotional in his heart that there was another collection in his collection room.
Of course, his Nobel Medal is not only his relatives and friends can touch, according to tradition, the Nobel laureate will also pass his medal to the audience, so that everyone can share this glory and luck, so later, he also handed his medal to the rest of the audience.
The whole process lasted 10 minutes, and the Philharmonic Orchestra also played classical music for 10 minutes until the next laureate took the stage to accept the award.
In this way, the award ceremony continued, and soon several other Nobel laureates also took the stage to receive their awards, and finally, Karl-Henrik Hedin, president of the Nobel Prize Foundation, also stood in front of the stage again.
"In closing, let us once again extend our warmest congratulations to each and every Nobel laureate."
The applause rang out again, and then Hedin said, "Then our Nobel Prize dinner is ready, please move to the Blue Room and enjoy the sumptuous dinner we have prepared." ”
Everyone got up one after another, and began to leave the concert hall under the guidance of the on-site staff, and went to the "Blue Hall" in Heding's mouth.
The Blue Hall refers to the Blue Hall, which is located in the Stockholm City Hall.
The annual Nobel Prize Dinner is held here, attended by outstanding scholars from all over the world, as well as members of the Swedish royal family, dignitaries, and of course, all Nobel laureates and their families, friends, and families.
To some extent, such a dinner party can also be called a dinner party for the strongest brain.
Of course, the total number of people attending the banquet exceeded 1,000 people, which also made the entire Blue Room seem a little crowded.
The tables were all large rectangular tables, facing each other, and the width of the table was only about the length of an arm's length, barely enough for two people to sit.
Soon, after the end of a baritone track, the food finally began to be served.
It is said that the menu of the Nobel Prize dinner is generally highly secret, and there will not be any leaks until the official start.
Of course, whether these foods are not to Li Mu's taste or not, that's another story.
Because...... The three-hour dinner has only three dishes, the appetizer, the main course, and the dessert, which are very exquisite, and there is only a small portion of each dish, but whether you can fill your stomach or something, is another matter.
不过,吃的也只是一种仪式而已,对于现场的人们来说,哪怕感觉不满意,大概也不会说什么,就把这顿晚宴当成一场可以吃饭可以聊天的古典音乐演奏会就好了。
At least, the performance level of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra is still worthy of praise.
In this way, until the end of the dinner, it was the turn of the Nobel laureates to play.
They need to make a final speech as the end of this feast.
The first thing to take the stage was the gift of being a physics laureate.
Dressed in a formal suit, he walked to the front, his young and handsome appearance can always make the men on the scene envious, and the same young single ladies will also cast their favorite eyes.
Of course, Li Mu turned a blind eye, and the podium was set up at the corner of the staircase, standing on it, and he did not use any foreign language, but directly in Chinese, and began his speech: "Honorable kings, queens, and members of the royal family, ladies and gentlemen, hello everyone, it is an honor to be here to speak. ”
"The significance of the Nobel Prize in Physics is very profound, it represents the world's recognition of the remarkable and indelible contribution to the achievements of physics, and I am very happy that my achievements can be included in it."
"Of course, I also have such self-confidence, and my achievements deserve such an award."
"I often hear people say to me, 'Li Mu, your theory of dimensional forces is a bit too difficult to learn', 'Li Mu, can't the theory of dimensional forces really get simpler?' ——”
"I think I can get a sense of what Einsta used to feel."
His tone paused, and everyone in the audience raised their heads.
提起爱因斯坦,这是等于在自比爱因斯坦吗?
However, everyone thought about it again, and with his results, comparing himself to Einstein, it doesn't seem to be so arrogant?
People don't all sigh, some people are too proud, which will make people feel disgusted, but if it is a person like Li Mu, people will feel acceptable, even normal.
"Of course, I tend to answer only one sentence to these questions: you can try to make it easier by working hard."
"Human beings have been studying mysterious things, and the purpose of physics is to explain those mysterious things in the universe, from the cosmic strings to the Planck scale, mysterious, that is, unknown, and unknown means incomprehensible."
"And that's true of all the knowledge we don't have yet."
"But as long as we never give up on learning knowledge, then we will eventually master everything."
"Just like more than 100 years ago, not many people could understand Einstein's theory of relativity, but today, more than 100 years later, even a middle school student in China can simply talk about the theory of relativity."
"Is it because humans are getting smarter?"
"No, never, but because we continue to learn, we become smarter and smarter, and we can't reverse the relationship between priorities and priorities."
"Of course, among them, I am probably the one who stands out."
Speaking of this, Li Mu smiled slightly, and all the audience also smiled.
Stand out?
That's too prominent.
Of course, Li Mu's words also made the people at the scene feel recognized, according to the research of some scientists, the IQ of human beings is indeed getting higher and higher, but if it is not because human beings are constantly learning, just by constantly reproducing generation after generation, can such IQ be improved?
Apparently impossible.
"So, never give up on learning, because you are participating in a project that is about the fate of humanity, and that is, to raise the IQ of the next generation of humans!"
"Until the next millennium after A.D., and even the first 10,000 years, at that time, every human being who was many times smarter than me, Einstein, had a share of the credit."
"Thank you, and my remarks conclude."
"Finally, I wish you all a pleasant dinner."
The applause rang out warmly, and people couldn't help but sigh that the speeches of scientists were always a little different.
A project that is at stake in humanity?
Everyone couldn't help but feel interested in what Li Mu said.
Of course, whether people today are wiser than the ancients is always a question, just as modern people often feel the wisdom of the ancients.
However, this is not in Li Mu's consideration, because the core of his speech has always been only that sentence: never give up learning.
……
Time passed slowly, and several other Nobel laureates also made speeches, for those elderly winners, their speeches were often full of emotion about life, and compared with Li Mu's speech, it seemed more peaceful.
Of course, in the end, the dinner was over.
To the accompaniment of music, the people began to leave the venue in an orderly manner and returned to their residences, and Li Mu and the others also returned to their Royal Stockholm Royal Hotel.
Although it was relatively late in time, Li Mu was not in a hurry to sleep, he did not go upstairs, and came to the garden under the hotel, the light in the garden was very dim, accompanied by the cold, so that a person's heart also had a lonely artistic conception.
However, people with a rich spiritual world often don't feel lonely, at least, there is still a simulated space in Li Mu's mind that is dominated by him.
At this time, Li Mu was strolling around the garden while continuing his research in the simulated space.
Never give up on learning, and he certainly has always practiced it.
"Until now...... 我大致也算是理解了化学反应过程中电子的成键过程,不过,具体的情况,还需要一定的研究……”
Li Mu's eyes narrowed.
After a few months, he has naturally achieved certain results, but difficult things are always difficult.
If you want to mention the cost he spent on such a long simulation, a large amount of materials, and a large amount of time that he has accelerated, seems to have reached hundreds of millions of yuan.
This has always been the case with materials research, not to mention that he is now doing reverse engineering.
It's like the F22 fell into the sea, and no country excitedly ran over to salvage, because of two troubles, the first trouble is old rice, and the second trouble is the reverse engineering of materials after the fact.
The most valuable thing in the fifth-generation aircraft is obviously the material, whether it is the invisible coating on the surface or the high-temperature material of the aero engine, it is very difficult to reverse it.
Of course, the reason why Li Mu thinks he can do it lies in the ability to observe the microscopic world in simulated space, so that he has the confidence to do it.
Although, this is probably quite a long process.
Suddenly, at this time, a voice came from my ear: "What are you thinking?" ”
Li Mu turned his head to look, but it was Yun Rongshang.
"Huh? Haven't you slept yet? ”
"Can't sleep." Yun Rongshang spread her hands and said helplessly: "And then there is your sister, who always asks me all kinds of questions. ”
"Haha, she's like that."
Li Mu smiled.
"Aren't you curious about what the problems are?" Yun Rongsheng's eyebrows furrowed.
"Curious, but I can guess it." Li Mu spread his hands: "When I was a child, I got a little closer to a girl, as long as she saw it, she would gossip about it, and even tell my mother." ”
Yun Rongshang sneered, "I can imagine. ”
Suddenly, at this moment, her cell phone rang.
"Huh? It's my mom's call! ”
She "booed" Li Mu, and then connected the phone.
With Li Mu's hearing now, and the surrounding environment is relatively quiet, he can also hear what the person on the other side of the phone said.
"Hello? Rongrong, where are you now? ”
"I'm in the dormitory, I'm reading a paper."
"Really?"
"Oh, how dare I lie to my dear mother~"
"But how do I feel like your voice is empty?"
"Ah...... I opened the window......" Yun Rongshang coquettishly said: "Oh, Mom, why are you asking so much!" Did I do something bad? ”
"Oh, I just looked at a photo and it looks like you're here."
"What photo?"
"It's that photo of Li Mu, didn't he win the Nobel Prize today, and then look at a girl next to him who looks very similar to you."
"Ah......h No, no, people are Nobel Prize winners, I am a little Karami, a rookie who will take three years to graduate from a master's degree, how can I know people. Yun Rongshang hurriedly explained.
"Really? Didn't lie to your mom, did you? The mica on the other end of the phone said: "That Li Mu and you are both from Shanghai Jiaotong University, and then they are both studying in Oxford, you should always know each other, right?" ”
"Oh, no, no, no." Yun Rongshang said: "I'm a puppy if I lie to you." ”
"Okay, then don't study too late, rest early."
"Uh-huh, got it! Mommy also pays attention to the body. ”
Yun Rongsheng, who breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly said a few words, and finally hung up the phone.
And then Li Mu raised his eyebrows: "Puppy? ”
Yun Rongshang's expression that had just relaxed immediately froze again, and then pounced on Li Mu: "See if I bite you!" ”
Li Mu's eyes widened: "Damn, you really bite!" ”
