Chapter 144 Bang! (5k)
Because of the emergence of room-temperature superconductivity, this year’s Nobel Prize has attracted global attention.
Not only the Chinese people, but also people all over the world are paying close attention. Everyone’s focus is on whether Chen Yuanguang can win the Nobel Prize in Physics for his epoch-making achievement of room temperature superconductivity.
This is also the most discussed Nobel Prize in China. Everyone has been following this topic since September. The views of Nobel Prize judges can often be seen on hot searches.
With the release of papers related to room-temperature superconductivity, experts from major scientific research institutions visited the room-temperature superconductors kept by Jiaotong University. News about the application of room-temperature superconductors in the field of quantum computers continued to spread. Everyone in China believed that it would not be issued There is a shady story for Chen Yuanguang.
The leading countries are also concerned. Chen Yuanguang's paper published in Nature clearly stated that he adopted the one-dimensional superconductivity theory. Although this theory is not completely correct, it is an integral part of the only confirmed normal-temperature superconductivity theory on the earth. Whether Korean scientists can win the Nobel Prize for this achievement.
What the Koreans are concerned about is that the announcement of LK99 directly led to the creation of room-temperature superconducting by the Chinese, but they couldn't synthesize it themselves. They couldn't get even one of the honors, right?
Chen Yuanguang hopes to get this honor, but considering that it is impossible for him to go to Sweden to receive the award live, he doesn't care that much about it.
On the contrary, Lin Jia and the outside world hope that he can receive such an honor.
First, in September, Chen Yuanguang’s paper on room-temperature superconductivity won the Citation Laureate Award from Clarivate. This award can be regarded as a pre-award for the Nobel Prize to some extent.
The Clarivate Institute for Scientific Information believes that the winners’ research results are generally considered to be of Nobel Prize level.
They claimed during the award process: "There is no doubt that Wright Chen's results on room temperature superconductivity are higher than the Nobel Prize. It would be a pity not to award him the Nobel Prize."
In the history of the Citation Laureate, 64 Citation Laureates have gone on to win the Nobel Prize.
After the news came back to China, it quickly ranked third on the hot search list. Because Clarivate is an organization of Americen, this award was awarded to Chen Yuanguang, which was considered by Chinese netizens to be American’s will.
“This is the importance of the platform. For the first time, I felt how important it is to choose the right platform.
I was able to get an associate professor position in our province just by relying on this paper on room-temperature superconductivity. "Tian Can said that he is a researcher at Guangjia Aerospace. After graduating from Ph.D., he joined Guangjia Aerospace and participated in the room temperature superconducting project. He is the co-second author of the paper.
The second author of that paper There are many authors, and those who participated are all co-second authors. The first author and corresponding author are naturally Chen Yuanguang.
After the Citation Laureate Award was awarded, he chatted with his girlfriend and said, "You remember that I submitted it before. I sent my resume to a school in my hometown in the province. The staff in charge of recruitment at that time said that if I wanted to go, I would have to sign up or leave, and the settlement allowance of 600,000 yuan would be divided into five years. "
His girlfriend said: "Remember, they came back to find you again? "
Tian Can said: "Yes, after they found out that I was the co-second author of the room temperature superconductivity paper in Nature, they came to ask me if I would like to change jobs and join them.
They offered an associate professor position. "
"Is there any editor? "The most important question for the children of the four high-ranking officials in Shanhe is whether they have been promoted or not. There are two different concepts.
Tian Can said: "Yes, and there is no need to be promoted or leave. ed.
If I hadn’t made the right choice before and came to Guangjia Aerospace, how would I have had this opportunity? Even if I became a postdoc at my alma mater, they might not have given me the title of associate professor.
You still have to choose the right platform. ”
Tian Can's alma mater is a 985 university in East China. After graduating with a doctorate, only some third-tier cities, especially those in economically underdeveloped provinces, are willing to work.
His girlfriend asked: "So are you going to go?"
Tian Can first teased: "A good horse never turns back."
Then he said : "I definitely won't go. What Guangjia Aerospace is doing is much more interesting, and the research funding here can't even be compared to that of my alma mater, and I guess it can't be compared to Qingbei.
I have to seize the opportunity, Guangjia Aerospace should be the top scientific research institution in the country. I once accidentally saw a postdoc from a top university in Yishui who recently submitted his resume. I might not be able to get in now."
< br>
Tian Can knew very well that he was extremely lucky, and he just followed it into a second work. This paper will undoubtedly become an unavoidable paper in the history of science, and he will also leave his name in the history of the paper.
Sometimes choice is far greater than hard work.
After the Citation Laureate Award was awarded, various media frantically asked qualified experts whether the Nobel Prize in Physics would be awarded to Wright Chen. The answers of the experts almost all maintained the same tone:
“Of course, Wright Chen’s results are very amazing, and the synthesis route of room temperature superconductors is an epoch-making achievement.
He has been included in our final list. As for whether he will win the award in the end, I think We also need to maintain a little bit of suspense.
Another problem with Wright Chen's paper is that it cannot be reproduced, and we cannot be sure of its authenticity.
This will cause great trouble to the Nobel Prize selection.
There is no doubt that room temperature superconductivity is real, but it is important whether this is a historical coincidence or whether Wright Chen really discovered its synthesis route.
We need more information to help us make judgments, otherwise it will be very difficult for us to make this decision. ”
The judges’ statements all point to one thing, that is, as long as Chen Yuanguang announces the synthesis route of room temperature superconductivity and the research institutions successfully reproduce it, this Nobel Prize will be awarded without any suspense. to him.
The Western media reported like a climax, hoping to spread the news to Chen Yuanguang's ears. Although everyone thought that normal people would not announce such an important technology for the sake of honor, but what if it happened?
On Chinese social media, netizens all complained about their wishful thinking:
“I have never heard that Nobel Prizes are awarded based on papers, aren’t they all based on results?
Is room-temperature superconductivity real? You guys have seen and tested it. Do you have any questions?”
“Europe and the United States are so shameless. ”
"Give me love, don't pull me down. Awarding the Nobel Prize to Guangshen is the Nobel Prize's honor, not Guangshen's."
"From that time in 21, the Nobel Prize was awarded to the proposer of the mRNA vaccine. , it can be seen that it was not awarded to Guangshen. They all said it was to thank them for their contribution to ending the virus epidemic. Who has made more contributions to ending the virus epidemic than Guangshen?
What if it doesn’t happen again this time? That would really have no credibility.”
“Chinese people are still too naive. The statements of these judges have made it clear that you bring the technology and I will give you the award. This is an exchange.
But it’s okay, this time the skin of European and American academic independence has been completely peeled off. In the past few years, it has been a boomerang year every year.
All kinds of boomerangs, including donuts, went to the hospital to see a doctor, and the doctor's consultation bill for 15 minutes was US$5,760. Even Teacher Chen Ping's outrageous inequality of 2000rmb>3000 US dollars had to be proved.
Freedom of speech and academic freedom are booming more frequently. Just wait and see, with China's technological breakthroughs, there will be more boomerangs to see. ”
Chen Yuanguang is just at the southwest border. He is not missing, nor has he disappeared. He has not disconnected from the Internet. China has dedicated people to take care of all aspects of his food, clothing and daily life.
Including judges and Western media After seeing the statement, Chen Yuanguang just smiled and did not express his position. The Chinese side asked him if he wanted to make a statement through official channels, and he also expressed his refusal.
He just posted on Weibo: "Can it be done? Winning the award feels like everyone cares more about it than me (laughing). With this time, everyone can pay more attention to our rocket and space station projects.
Next year Guangjia Aerospace will most likely launch its own space station and conduct manned spaceflight. Anyone who wants to be an astronaut is welcome to sign up.
Our requirements for physical fitness will be lower than those of the official, and we will have higher requirements for professionalism. ”
Compared with official astronauts, because their goal is space mining, they need more professional astronauts, and the requirements for operational and psychological quality are not that high.
Chen Yuanguang hopes to hand over more operations to the ground console. The astronauts are more responsible for scientific research and manufacturing work in the space station
So they plan to walk on two legs, with the official side on one side. For cooperation, please invite experienced astronauts from the government to participate. On the other hand, you still have to train your own astronauts
After Chen Yuanguang's Weibo post was posted, netizens' attention indeed shifted to Guangjia Aerospace's recruitment of astronauts.
“I am 1.8 meters tall, weigh 70 kilograms, and have no myopia. Can I apply for the 985 bachelor’s degree?”
“I have just retired from the army and served in the Air Force for many years. I would like to apply ! ”
“This must be the first time in history that a private organization recruits astronauts. I think my physical fitness is good, please give me a chance.”
Comment 1 below. Shui's various personal conditions and photos are generally upvoted by handsome guys, and the entire comment area has become a place for making friends, because Chen Yuanguang said in a previous interview that he would bring everyone into the golden age, plus the astronaut thing The thing itself is cool, and most people have no chance of being exposed to similar selections.
For a time, the official application channel of Guangjia Aerospace received countless resumes, which made the human resources department lament that there are still too many outstanding talents in China.
On the other hand, when the Nobel Prize was announced in early October, it was no surprise that no one related to room temperature superconductivity won the prize.
Even though room-temperature superconductivity is hailed as the most important scientific research discovery this year and the greatest scientific research discovery since mankind entered the 21st century, various magazines are not stingy with their praise.
But when you show that you are not willing to make peace with the West, they will not hesitate to remove you.
After the award was announced, the media pounced on it like hyenas on scent. The most common question asked by the judges was why it was not awarded to Wright Chen.
They still maintained their previous tone: "You know it is a difficult decision to make.
Everyone thought that this year's Nobel Prize should be awarded to Wright Chen and his room-temperature superconductors. At the time, it was not an easy decision for us to make.
We did it entirely out of respect for science. Wrightchan's room-temperature superconductor has not been reproduced anywhere except his own laboratory, and we cannot. It is also unfair to ensure that the synthesis of room-temperature superconductivity was not an accidental discovery.
It is also unfair that Wright Chen could win the Nobel Prize based solely on accidental discovery.
We made this decision out of respect for the spirit of science. ”
The director of the selection committee for the Nobel Prize in Physics stood up and spoke out, improving on the same old rhetoric.
As for whether the public buys it, they don’t care, and they maintain their usual arrogance .
“If this experiment can be repeated in the future, we will award the Nobel Prize to Wright Chen. ”
There was naturally an uproar in the Chinese media and social media. The official website of the Frontier Technology Transformation Company simultaneously counterattacked, stating that their normal temperature superconductor factory will soon enter the formal mass production stage and be sold to the outside world.
They simultaneously released a video on their official website, which is a video of trial production of room-temperature superconductors at the Mianyang factory of cutting-edge technology.
After the video was released, Chinese netizens became even more angry:
"Haha, the Nobel Prize no longer has credibility with me. Is this your plundering? If you want my recognition, you have to Is it the spirit of science to make technology public? "
"Without investigation and analysis, it would be ridiculous to just have a few people sit together in a meeting to decide on the most important scientific award.
This year is indeed the year of boomerangs, and I enjoyed seeing all kinds of boomerangs. ”
What’s even more disgusting to Chinese netizens is that this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Mongi Bavandi, Louis Bruce and Alexei Ikimov, all Amerikan scientists.
Among them, Ba Wendi was Chen Yuanguang’s professor when he was at MIT, which made it difficult for them to start talking about it. What qualifications do you have to win the Nobel Prize in front of the God of Light?
Chinese netizens believed that Stockholm deliberately disgusted Chen Yuanguang, which made them even more angry.
Bawendi did not feel happy at all after seeing the news, because it was not a good thing for him.
"Wright, you should win this year's Nobel Prize in Physics. This result is completely the product of politics." Bawendi explained to Chen Yuanguang on the phone.
Chen Yuanguang said: "I have guessed it a long time ago. It's okay. I'm still young. Congratulations, professor."
Bawendi smiled bitterly: "This may not be a good thing. The future will be recorded in the history books. Dr. Wright Chen discovered He did not win the Nobel Prize in Physics that year when he synthesized the route for room-temperature superconductors. On the contrary, it was Mongi Bavandi who won the prize that year.
He won the Nobel Prize in Physics through unfair means. Award."
Chen Yuanguang could hear the bitterness in Bawendi's tone. As a top scientist, winning this kind of Nobel Prize is a burden.
"Professor, you deserve this award. Don't take it too seriously. There is also a sentence in the book that Professor Monji Bawundi is the mentor of Dr. Wright Chen. This is the result of political manipulation."
Mongi Bawendi did not dwell on this topic anymore. He knew that he could not change the fact: "Wright, I will not go to the award ceremony.
In addition, I plan to return to Paris and am already going through the process. Next year I returned to Paris at the beginning of the year.”
While in Paris, as usual, Joseph first went to the first floor of the European Space Agency headquarters located in the center of the 15th arrondissement of Paris to pick up the newspaper he subscribed to.
He has the habit of reading newspapers every day.
After getting the newspaper, Joseph slowly walked to the nearest Colonel Le restaurant with the newspaper.
It's an Italian restaurant where he likes to have a latte and a sandwich in the morning.
I read the newspaper while eating breakfast, and then walked back to start the day's work.
Global public opinion has focused on the fact that the Nobel Prize was not awarded to Chen Yuanguang. The achievement of room temperature superconductivity was not awarded the Nobel Prize.
This is simply a joke. Many foreign scholars also think so, and the public opinion was very noisy for a while.
In the French domestic media, Wright Chen and the Nobel Prize are hot topics, but they are not the biggest hot spots. The biggest hot spot is that France has mastered recyclable rocket technology and successfully launched its own recyclable rocket.
Just a few days ago, FSpace, a newly established company under Safran Group, successfully launched a recyclable rocket. The rocket successfully entered orbit and completed key components such as fairings and boosters.
For Europe, which has been committed to making progress in the aerospace field, and for France, which prides itself on being the light of Europe, this is a major breakthrough worthy of special mention.
It is comparable to the successful manned moon landing.
“This is a victory for French aerospace.”
The French media have focused on the fact that French companies have achieved technological breakthroughs.
"France will play a leading role in the European space industry"
"France still maintains strong competitiveness in the space race"
The French media will naturally not tell the public that the technology comes from China will only repeatedly emphasize that this is France's own technology.
Deutsche Media Conference, the German media focused on the fact that France’s recyclable rocket technology comes from China. They should also trade with China and not fall behind France in the aerospace field.
The English media was not to be outdone, and also ridiculed France for engaging in unfair transactions with China for the sake of technology.
Joseph felt a headache after reading the print media. The biggest headache was the attitude of England and Germany.
Because for the European Space Agency, when its member countries achieve technological breakthroughs, it is natural to hand over space transportation orders to member states. This is a matter of course.
But Germany and England showed great opposition and believed that it should not be so hasty.
England has left the EU, but not the European Space Agency. They are still a member of the European Space Agency.
They started meeting to discuss this matter last week. Joseph found that it was more difficult to give the order to France than to the Light Armor Aerospace.
Just as he was reading the newspaper and thinking about how to reach a balance between the three parties in today's meeting, and when a preliminary agreement came out, a motorcycle drove past at high speed from a distant intersection connecting the 7th arrondissement of Paris and Paris. Löwendal Avenue in the 15th arrondissement.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" After several consecutive gunshots, Joseph fell to the ground.
