Chapter 1052 Nobel Prize Winners Club (first update, two-in-one)
When GAD Company in Nanyang developed the world’s first lithography machine, Li Yi’an, who had just returned to Nanyang, knew nothing. You know, but after returning to Chang'an, he didn't stop. In addition to dealing with government affairs, he naturally had to go to Nanyang University.
Not only did he deal with the donation of bonuses, he also permanently donated the Nobel Prize in Physics he won to Nanyang University. This also marks that Nanyang University has the first Nobel Prize. Before that, Professor Tang Xiushu of Yongning University won the Nobel Prize, also in physics. However, as we all know, he is of Japanese descent, and his research results were in Japan. Obtained.
This is a big day for Nanyang University. On this day, the donation scene is extremely grand. In addition to the participation of the School of Physics, other schools also participated in the donation ceremony.
Gao Kun, who is conducting research on the application of light wave transmission in the field of communication at the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, also participated in the donation ceremony. When he looked at His Excellency on the stage, like many people, he also felt a little incredible.
"I really didn't expect that you are such an outstanding scientist."
"Yes, you haven't heard of it - you are a scientist who was delayed by politics. If you were not entangled in political affairs, you would be in physics. His achievements in science and other fields may be no less than those of Einstein!”
This is your Excellency!
Looking at His Excellency on the stage, Gao Kun's eyes were full of admiration, but like many people, what he admired was not the power he possessed, but his achievements in science. Basically, so does everyone else.
“Gao Kun, I heard that you received an invitation to the banquet, right?”
asked a friend on the side.
Gao Kun nodded and said:
"Yes, it's really unexpected. I don't know if I can discuss some academic issues with you."
Sometimes, the world of scientists is simple. For them, things like power are not important. Compared with power, what they desire more is academic exchanges.
After the brief speech, Li Yian did not return to the official residence immediately. Instead, he attended a banquet held by the university and met with some young scholars at the banquet. In the past few years, many people of Tangshan origin Scholars came to Nanyang from the United States or Europe.
"I just returned to Chang'an when I heard about the "law of non-conservation of parity" proposed by you and Li Zhengdao, which has been confirmed by Dr. Wu..."
Looking at Yang Zhenning in front of him, Li Yi'an felt slightly It was a bit complicated. If it weren't for an issue of "Physics" magazine a few months ago, he would not have known that Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao had both come to Nanyang.
Those Tang scholars who were left behind in the United States, many of them came to Nanyang in the past few years, not by invitation, but by their own initiative.
There is no other reason. Compared with the United States, the scientific research environment here is better, the funding and technology are not inferior to the United States, and there is no discrimination from foreigners, at least no contempt from foreigners.
To a certain extent, they all suffered a certain degree of contempt. After all, white people’s contempt for Asians is deep-rooted, and because Yang and Li won the Nobel Prize very early, naturally Not deeply felt.
But other people inevitably have more feelings and experiences, such as Wu Jianxiong, who was the first to confirm the "law of non-conservation of parity" proposed by Yang Chenning and Li Zhengdao. This fact denies the "parity constant" proposed by Einstein. law". But because she is a woman, and a woman from Tangshan, she was directly excluded when she was nominated for the Nobel Prize, although this was also related to her offending some academic leaders.
But this potential discrimination has been everywhere for a long time.
But in Nanyang, all this does not exist. Here, Wu Jianxiong's paper has not been delayed, and no one will stop her nomination, because they are definitely academic leaders in Nanyang.
As for some people who disparage Wu Jianxiong and say that "even without her proof, Yang and Li can win the award", that is completely nonsense. Because a theory is always just a guess until it is proven experimentally. If guessing could win a prize, then the Nobel Prize would not be worth mentioning.
But in this world, many changes have taken place. Wu Jianxiong not only confirmed the theory put forward by Yang and Li earlier, but even her discovery was not ignored - another world has long been In 1949, Wu Jianxiong experimentally observed entangled photon pairs. However, because her reputation was not prominent and she was only published in ordinary academic journals, she did not attract the attention of the academic community. However, her experimental work on quantum entanglement was still ignored. Buried in a pile of old papers.
More than ten years later, several other American physicists won the Nobel Prize for their experimental observation of entangled photon pairs and a series of subsequent experiments. However, by that time, Wu Jianxiong had already passed away, and now in Nanyang, her The research has not stopped, and she is conducting a series of follow-up experimental work. These experiments have made up for some loopholes and limitations in previous experiments, and will certainly further verify quantum entanglement.
Perhaps, this shock will be made up for in the near future!
Sentimental about the changes in the world, Li Yian even deliberately chatted with Yang and Li about some physics issues. When the two were shocked by his physics knowledge, he took the initiative to invite them at their convenience. Visit the official residence and discuss physics together.
And this is exactly what Li Yian likes in the past two years - taking advantage of the times to help geniuses or talents of this era broaden their horizons, giving them inspiration beyond the times, thereby promoting the entire era of flyover.
One thing that is certain is that the two people in front of them are definitely geniuses in physics. Since they are geniuses, let's give them a boost.
Who said that a person can only win the Nobel Prize once in his life.
There seems to be no regulations in this regard.
It seems that Madame Curie won the Nobel Prize in Science twice.
Now, whether it is Yang Zhenning or Li Zhengdao, they are in the golden period of their lives. Although 34 years old is a bit beyond the age when they are most likely to produce results, who knows?
With appropriate boosting, you can always get some new achievements!
Of course, it was not just the two young scholars Yang and Li who received the invitation, but also some young scholars in their twenties. After all, according to scientific research, human intelligence reaches its peak at about the age of 20 and reaches its peak at the age of 25. It peaks and slowly declines after the age of 25, so the older you get, the lower your fluid intelligence becomes.
So, most scientists achieve most of their results between the ages of 20 and 30, which happens to be the age when they are most likely to produce results!
So, on the contrary, such young people are more likely to produce results if they are prompted.
"Your Excellency, this is Gao Kun from the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. Although he is studying for a Ph.D., his research field is very cutting-edge. He is engaged in the application of light wave transmission in the field of communication..."
Light wave transmission is used in the field of communications!
Gao Kun!
Looking at the young man in his twenties in front of him, Li Yian was stunned for a moment and immediately thought of him - the father of optical fiber!
It was the young man in front of me who solved the problem of optical fiber communication and brought mankind into the fiber optic era. It can be said that all mankind has benefited from his invention. It was for his pioneering research in the field of optical fibers that he later won the Nobel Prize.
When he proposed the optical fiber theory, he was criticized as "a fool's dream". However, later, optical fibers affected the world's nerves. Some people even say that without optical fiber and broadband, there would be no network at all, let alone subsequent network development.
"Fiber optic?"
Looking at the nervous young man in front of him, Li Yian asked.
"Can you introduce it?"
"Your Excellency, this, this is an idea at the moment, you know, theoretically speaking, the frequency of light waves is higher than the frequency of radio waves Thousands of times higher. This means that if light waves are used as the carrier of information, the propagation speed and transmission capacity will be increased by tens of millions of times. This is undoubtedly an extremely attractive prospect... but there has been no way for a long time. Controlling the path of light waves. But the laser invented by King's Laboratory changed everything. Because lasers can emit high-intensity and highly focused light sources, they can be pumped into very thin optical fibers. In addition, this light source is very stable. , which brings hope for the realization of breakthroughs in optical communication technology..."
In fact, according to common sense, Gao Kun, who is just a Ph.D. student, cannot attend this banquet, but as we all know, your Excellency I like to interact with researchers who have done groundbreaking research, and Gao Kun's research is like this. So he attended the banquet. Gao Kun was naturally excited about this. So when he first introduced his research direction, he felt a little nervous, but he quickly calmed down and introduced them one by one. idea.
Listening to his explanation, Li Yian nodded from time to time, and he was more impressed in his heart, because Gao Kun's current idea has basically grasped the technical direction of optical fiber extremely accurately.
“I believe that the amount of information transmitted using light waves can be increased 10,000 times compared to the amount transmitted using microwaves at that time. Transmitting information with light is not just about shooting light from point A to point B. The key is to Find a conductor to ensure and maintain light from point A to point B without any obstruction."
"So have you found this conductor?"
Li Yian asked.
"Sir, this is what is bothering me right now..."
Gao Kun said helplessly.
“The key to this idea is whether there is a conductor that is transparent enough to complete the task of transmitting light waves. So the first research direction before my goal is to find a conductor suitable for transmitting light waves.”
History , Gao Kun conducted research in this area. After that, it took him six full years to achieve a breakthrough in this area. He discovered that "quartz-based glass fiber" is a conductor suitable for transmitting light waves, that is, using The discovery that glass fibers transmit light waves seems easy, but there are many technical problems that need to be overcome.
Looking at the distressed Gao Kun, Li Yian did not immediately tell him some of the answers he knew. Instead, he sent him an invitation to his home as before...
Nobel There are a lot of awards...
Well, the reception room of the official residence will be the Nobel Prize Winners Club from now on!
......
"...At Nanyang University, Your Excellency permanently donated the Nobel Prize he won to Nanyang University, and this also marks..."
Although when the news was playing on the TV, the students dining in the restaurant looked up at the small TV screen with envy in their eyes. However, Ding Zhaozhong seemed to turn a deaf ear, reading and reading while eating. textbook.
After graduating from high school last year, Ting Zhaozhong, who had excellent grades, was recommended to National Cheng Kung University in Tainan. Because he hoped to enter National Taiwan University, he took the province's joint examination. Unexpectedly, he failed in the joint examination. Just when he was considering whether to enter Cheng Kung University When I was studying in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the university, I took part in the Nanyang University Joint Entrance Examination at the suggestion of my father.
Although Ting Zhaozhong did not get admitted to Nanyang University, he still received an admission letter from Taiping University. Compared with National Taiwan University, Taiping University not only has many German scholars, but also a Nobel Prize winner. Although slightly inferior to Nanyang University, it is also a world-renowned institution of higher learning.
So his life took a slight deviation, and he went to Taiping University to study. However, after studying mechanical engineering for a year, he realized that his interest was in physics, and immediately decided to transfer to physics. In order to transfer to the physics department, he focused on mathematics and physics courses from the second semester, achieved excellent results, and applied to scholarships.
Although Ding Zhaozhong has successfully transferred to the Department of Physics, in order to make up for the gap in his studies, he can only squeeze out more time to study, even when eating.
"Zhaozhong, Professor Mattare also donated his Nobel Prize to the school, and our school also has its own Nobel Prize."
Matta, as the inventor of the transistor Lei, who shared this year's Nobel Prize in Physics with Li Yi'an, also donated this honor to Taiping University where he teaches.
After listening to his classmates' questions, Ding Zhaozhong closed his book and said.
"Yes, our school also has one, but..."
Looking up at the TV, Ding Zhaozhong said.
"Your Excellency is the first Tang Dynasty person to win the Nobel Prize."
After saying that, looking at Your Excellency on the screen, Ding Zhaozhong’s eyes were filled with admiration - the first person to win the Nobel Prize. Bell Prize-winning Tang Dynasty. Once upon a time, people laughed at the Tang people as the sick man of East Asia, but this "sick man" defeated Japan on the Asian battlefield and overcame the German army in Europe. Defeated the Eighteen-Nation Allied Forces on the peninsula.
And economically, both Nanyang's economic miracle and Tangshan's rapid development have attracted worldwide attention. In the past few years, Nanyang's achievements in science and other fields have repeatedly shocked the world. Now that you have won the Nobel Prize, it is just a proof.
"Yes, you are the first, but didn't you hear what you said? In the future, more people in Nanyang will win the Nobel Prize..."
More people Win a Nobel Prize!
This is Li Yi'an's appeal to the Nanyang scientific community - he proposed a plan to "win 30 Nobel Prizes by the time of the new century." This plan may sound a bit fanciful, but only Li Yi'an can do it. I know that this is entirely possible. First of all, the integrated circuit he invented will definitely win the Nobel Prize. Yang Zhenning, Li Zhengdao and Wu Jianxiong will definitely win the Nobel Prize next year, and organ transplantation will also win awards. In addition, Gao Kun’s optical fiber , and lithium batteries that have made breakthrough progress. This has completed 13% of the task, and the remaining 26 Nobel Prizes... are not difficult at all!
Moreover, for Li Yi'an, who is a "good teacher" and likes to communicate with others, he will always give some inspiring inspiration to some young people, which will definitely greatly promote Nanyang's Nobel Prize winning quantity.
There are a lot of Nobel Prizes... Actually, 30 Nobel Prizes are not many at all. For Li Yi'an, who is determined to promote the development of human science and technology, 30 Nobel Prizes are just a necessity in the process of promoting the development of science and technology.
After all, there will be too much groundbreaking research in the next half century.
“Winning 30 Nobel Prizes in the new century is really unrealistic!”
Ding Zhaozhong couldn’t help but sigh, while the classmates on the side laughed.
“It’s a little unrealistic, but it also gives us a goal to work hard for.”
"The goal of our efforts?"
Ding Zhaozhong asked doubtfully.
“Yes,”
The classmate nodded vigorously and said.
“Be a guest at the official residence first, and then win the Nobel Prize in the future!”
Guest at the official residence!
For many young scientists in Southeast Asia, that has always been what they long for, not because they are close to power, but because they can have academic exchanges with the best scholars in the world.
Looking at His Excellency on the TV, Ding Zhaozhong couldn't help but have this thought in his mind - will I have the opportunity to enter your official residence as a guest in the future?
At this moment, like many people, Ding Zhaozhong also had the same wish in his heart.
