Chapter 570： Discussion on the Nobel Prize (2 in 1)

Many people say that the Nobel Prize is manipulated by Westerners and not played with China.

But in fact, among the six Nobel Prizes, the Peace Prize is broken, the Literature Prize is similar, and the Economic Prize is not discussed for the time being.

The three awards for physics, chemistry, and physiology or medicine in the natural sciences are still fair.

If you really want to solve the thousand-year world problem, or the century-old world problem, you can still be verified. Do you think you can win the prize?

If none of this is awarded, the Nobel Prize jury will be questioned by the scientific community all over the world, which will also reduce the gold content of the Nobel Prize.

"Actually, it's not that there are no Chinese people, it's just Chinese nationality..." Chen Hao hesitated.

Ren Hong laughed dumbly, and said with a complicated expression, "The principal is talking about Mr. Gao Kungao, right?"

Chen Hao nodded.

When Kao Kun was named, everyone here is engaged in academic research. Naturally, no one does not know the "father of optical fiber".

Kao Kun, British Chinese, from Jinshan County, Handong Province (now Magic City), Chinese physicist, educator, optical fiber communication, electrical engineering expert, former president of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, known as the "Father of Optical Fiber", " "Father of Fiber Optic Communications" and "Godfather of Broadband".

In 2009, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his breakthrough achievements in the transmission of light in fibers in the field of optical communication.

But the other party is of British nationality, and his achievements benefit all mankind, but it is Hong Kong Island and the United Kingdom that he has served for his whole life.

Adhering to the idea of ​​the dead being the greatest, everyone skipped this topic.

Xu Chenyang mentioned: "Actually, not only Gao Kun, but many Chinese scientists have won the Nobel Prize, such as Ding Zhaozhong (American), Li Yuanzhe (American when winning the award), Cui Qi (American), Steven Chu (American), Yang Zhenning (American at the time of the award) and Gao Xingjian (French).”

"Chenyang's words are naive." Chen Hao glanced at Xu Chenyang and snorted lightly.

"Chinese people are different from overseas Chinese. They are American, have laboratories in the United States, and use American resources and platforms. This kind of Nobel Prize, even if they give up their American citizenship and return to China later, has nothing to do with us."

From another perspective, Chinese is also the collective name for all Chinese.

The Chinese are foreigners with Chinese ancestry.

Overseas Chinese are Chinese nationals with Chinese nationality who have settled abroad.

If you can't tell the difference between Chinese and overseas Chinese, you only need to remember that those who have Chinese nationality abroad are overseas Chinese.

Xu Chenyang sneered. Several of the people present had experience studying abroad. Only Zheng Qiang went to Japan to study for three years, and the others, excluding Professor Bunnier, all studied in the United States.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little gloomy, Professor Ren Hong pondered and said, "Why are there no Chinese people in the field of Nobel Prize natural sciences?

I think the result of science is picking peaches. The person who is in the front is the better to pick them, because the peaches are at the bottom of the tree. When the peaches below are finished, the middle peaches will climb the tree or climb the ladder to the top. The peaches I am afraid of are difficult to pick by climbing trees and ladders. "

"In the past few years, the Nobel Prize in Physics was mostly awarded to the discoverers of physical particles. This is a wave of peaches picking. When a large collider is to be built in China, why does Mr. Yang object?

Some reasons are: the peaches have been picked, and now it is too difficult to build a large collider to discover new particles. Unless there is a new direction, there will be another wave of results. "

"In today's scientific research, the cost of ladders is too high. The group of people who won the physics award in the past few years all relied on the new equipment in Europe. There is no equipment in China at all, so naturally it is impossible to find it. At least 20 billion!"

"In 1996, the total GDP of Baodao was one third of that of mainland China, Japan was more than six times that of us, and the United States was more than twenty times that of us. It is conceivable how much research funding did we have in China at that time? The per capita scientific research funding is even more pitiful, and many research institutions can also pay some wages so that people don’t starve to death. What about scientific research?”

Speaking of the back, Ren Hong's tone was a little excited.

"At the end of the last century, due to reform and opening up, China's economy began to take off. It was not until this century that the domestic scientific community began to have some money. After 2010, there was a large-scale investment. It can also be seen that the country's emphasis on scientific research is increasing year by year."

"The economic foundation determines the superstructure. In recent years, there have been many researches in the Chinese scientific community that have been at the forefront of the world. Looking optimistically, maybe in 20 years, there is a high probability that there will be a wave of Nobel Prizes in our country!"

Why say 20 years from now and not now?

Because the evaluation of the Nobel Prize has a very long lag, it does not mean that if you have a big breakthrough, you will be awarded this year immediately, but it must be verified to prove that this is indeed feasible.

Someone once calculated a data that the average time between Nobel Prize winners in physics and the award is 18 years.

So it can be seen that the time difference is not short.

For Professor Ren Hong's point of view, some people quickly jumped out to oppose it.

"I don't agree with it, I'm a little too optimistic." Professor Fang Haosen drank the beer in the cup, and then said in a deep voice:

"Before 2000, Japan had only won nine Nobel Prizes in its history, but in the 19 years from 2000 to 2019, Japan won a total of 19 Nobel Prizes, which is comparable to one a year!"

"Why can Japan win the Nobel Prize year after year?" Fang Haosen stared at the crowd, as if he wanted to get an answer.

Why has China only produced two Nobel Prizes in recent years, while there are 19 countries that live a good life next door?

It sounds a bit ironic, but there is really no shady in it. The winners are all physics awards and chemistry awards. There is no room for such natural science awards.

Finally, his eyes fell on Zheng Qiang, "President Zheng, you have studied at Kyoto University in Japan. You should have a deeper understanding of this issue."

Zheng Qiang, who was also shot while lying down, couldn't help but let out a wry smile, recalling the experience of studying abroad and visiting Japan in recent years.

"I thought about it and briefly summarized that Japan can become a regular visitor to the Nobel Prize for two main reasons."

"1. The Japanese government has long-term and stable support for education and basic research. Naturally, scientific research is all about results, and how long does it take to produce results? Maybe it will only take three to five years if it goes well, but if it doesn't go well , it may take five years, or even ten or twenty years.”

Speaking of this, Zheng Qiang's face was a little gloomy, "As you all know about our country's scientific research system, if there is no result in five years, let alone five years, the fund investment may be cancelled in three years, and the cancellation team will start another project again. The investment and construction in this area are worthy of our consideration and reference.”

"2. Japan has institutional advantages. Japan is a member of the Western world, and many scientific researches are participated in together with the United Kingdom and the United States. Information exchange, resource sharing, human, financial and material exchanges, and mutual use of equipment are not very friendly to our country. ." At the end, Zheng Qiang sighed.

As for why it is not friendly, it goes without saying that a few people understand.

The equipment is embargoed, the information is blocked, and the laboratory is not open to China, let alone any major international cooperation projects.

It is no exaggeration to say that basically any sophisticated thing has to be built from scratch.

In the end, Zheng Qiang said with a peculiar look: "In recent years, the upsurge of Japanese awards is mainly due to the wealth left by the past, and as Japan's aging increases, this trend may gradually decline.

And I looked at some statistics, and the number of papers in Japan is the only country in the world that is decreasing. "

Normally, the number of papers in a country can reflect the scientific development trend of the country.

In the academic circles of the past, Japan was the only card in Asia.

However, the aging of Japan has increased in recent years, and it can be clearly seen in colleges and universities.

10 graduate students, there are at least 5 Chinese students, and even some serious fields, 10 graduate students, maybe 8, or even 9 are Chinese students.

Especially at the doctoral stage, the proportion of Chinese students studying abroad far exceeds that of their own countries.

Some professors are also Chinese. When exaggerating, all the graduate students are Chinese students, and the professors are too lazy to speak Japanese, so the whole class goes directly to Chinese...

"The current situation in Japan is very worthy of warning. China is taking the old road of Japan and South Korea in many places. For example, aging is very serious in our country." Fang Haosen first mentioned this, and then continued seriously:

"Why do I say that Professor Ren's point of view is too optimistic? Because Japan can succeed, as President Zheng said, mainly because of the long-term and stable support of the Japanese government for education and basic research. Our country needs to learn very much!"

After the conversation changed, Fang Haosen said pessimistically: "But what is the situation in our country? Biochemical and environmental materials are all Tiankeng majors. How many people quit after graduation? , and really doing scientific research in China is a very difficult thing. The family conditions are not good, so I can only work as soon as possible. If I can't win the Nobel Prize now, will I win the Nobel Prize in the future? possible!"

Professor Fang Haosen's words resonated with many people.

Sometimes it's not easy to concentrate on one thing.

The problem is not that you can't keep going, but that there are various external factors that hold you back.

Chen Hao listened to these words and concluded that Zheng Qiang was too optimistic, while Professor Fang Haosen was too pessimistic.

Maybe it was because of their different experiences. Maybe it was Professor Fang Haosen who encountered some dirty and dirty things in scientific research when he was at Beihang.

Just like Xu Chenyang returned to the United States in a fit of anger.

Seeing Xu Chenyang nodding his head, as if he understood Fang Haosen very well, Chen Hao felt that it was time for him to speak.

"Cough, after listening to the speeches of Principal Zheng and Professor Fang, I will also briefly say a few words."

As soon as Chen Hao opened his mouth, the eyes of the other seven people moved over.

"Old Zheng's words make sense, and Professor Fang's words are not wrong, but what about in reality?"

"I think the wrong guiding ideology is the root cause of China's scientific backwardness. Always running behind others' ass, it's no wonder if you can succeed."

"So, if Chinese science wants to rise, it must find its own way and go its own way." At the end, Chen Hao's voice was high and his eyes were extraordinarily determined.

"Then what path should we take?" Xu Chenyang asked impatiently.

"As for the path, I don't know, and neither do the above. So I have been exploring and exploring a path that is suitable for our Chinese education and Chinese scientific research."

Speaking of this, Chen Hao showed a smile on his face.

"As a private university, Guanghua has a flexible system. We can test the water for the country. If we succeed, we will be the best. If we fail, we can gain some experience."

"But I think we can make it, why?"

Chen Hao's eyes searched the faces of Professor Ren Hong, Professor Fang Haosen, Professor Chen Chong, and Professor Zhu Chen.

"Because of our ideals, we are united in Guanghua, and because of these ideals, because of you, I think we will be able to succeed!" Chen Hao said loudly.

"Don't talk about these falsehoods, talk about something practical! First of all, we must pay attention to talents and scientific research! There is a serious brain drain in our country. There are as many as 20,000 Tsinghua University students in the Silicon Valley area of ​​the United States. This is a very distressing one. Numbers! Therefore, the future strategic development of Guanghua University will focus on the following points..."

The original meeting of the wind and dust gradually turned into a debate, and when Chen Hao came on the stage, the debate turned into a speech.

Chen Hao explained loudly, while the others listened quietly.

Many people think that the Nobel Prize does not matter, but the Nobel Prize is the height of the scientific community after all.

Just like the Olympic Games, when the Chinese team won the first place, the idea of ​​the Olympic Games will fade away.

China must win the Nobel Prize, and not just one!

When the number of Nobel Prize winners exceeds that of the United States, we can also indifferently say that we do not need this thing to prove ourselves.

Because at that time, it was not that we could not get it, but that we were disdainful to get it.

...

New Year's Eve.

That Seaview BBQ was two days ago.

Northwest Territories, Jincheng.

Zhou Henian sat on the sofa and looked at the familiar environment beside him.

A sense of loneliness came to my mind.

"After so many years, this is about to leave..." He sighed in a low voice.

Only at this time, a discordant voice sounded.

"Dad, it's not me who said that Jincheng is reluctant? I said earlier that I would take you over, but you just don't want it!"

"Ludao is also very good. It is very suitable for retirement. It is only an hour away from Pengcheng. I will see you more when I have time."

The speaker was a young man with short hair called Zhou Haobo, the only son of Zhou Henian.

Originally, Lao Zhou still looked helpless, but when he heard the words behind him, he suddenly burst into anger.

Turning his head, he scolded his face with his head covered: "Niezi! What are you talking about! Your father has been in Jincheng for so many years, does he have no feelings? Raising you and supporting your studies are all based on Lan Da's salary!"

"Nonsense, how high can Landa's salary be? Besides, if you were willing to accept the invitation from the schools in Modu and Gusu, our family's life might be more comfortable than it is now." Zhou Haobo pouted, indifferent. said breathlessly.

"Dad, you're just too stubborn. Fortunately, you've figured it out now, and I'm relieved."

Zhou Henian was so angry that he picked up an apple on the table and smashed it, then held a broom and chased Zhou Haobo in the living room.

"Today, I'm going to kill my relatives righteously and kill you wicked son!"

"Oh, Dad, don't hit me. You can't catch me. Don't tire yourself out."

"..."

In the end, Zhang Xuemei came out to mediate the two father and son before they stopped, staring wide-eyed, they all felt that they were right.

Originally, I was going to leave Jincheng for Ludao today, and I was a little reluctant before I left. After all, I stayed here for a long time, and in all likelihood, I will not come back in the future.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Haobo was so angry that he didn't recover until the airport.

His face was gloomy, as if everyone owed him a million.

Landing.

Zhou Henian and his wife Zhang Xuemei walked in the terminal building with their suitcases.

As Guanghua University was brought in by Guanghua scholars, not to mention the salary, the treatment is at least extremely high.

Originally, Guanghua said that he would send someone to pick him up, but he refused.

He felt that he was just an ordinary scholar and an ordinary teacher, but he was lucky enough to get some results, so there was no need to treat him specially.

But when he got to the exit.

Seeing a young man standing in the crowd, he waved his hand with joy on his face.

"Professor Zhou, here! Professor Zhou!"

Zhou Henian and Zhang Xuemei looked at each other and walked over.

With a sullen face, he asked in a bad tone, "Why did you come here? Didn't you say you don't need special treatment?"

Jiang Lin didn't mind Zhou Henian's attitude, he snatched the suitcase from Professor Zhou and Zhang Xuemei with a smile, and said as he walked:

"Professor Zhou, you can rest assured that the school is 100% cooperative in your opinion, so this pick-up is from my personal standpoint, not on behalf of the school to pick you up."

Hearing what Jiang Lin said, Zhou Henian snorted coldly, his expression still unchanged.

Just a little more relaxed.

Walking behind Jiang Lin, Zhou Henian suddenly thought of what he had said to Jiang Lin.

Suddenly lost in thought.

"It seems that it is not impossible to do so..."
