Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

“The winner of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics is—

“Lu Zhou!”

After this solemn announcement, pouring applause resounded through the venue. The dorms at Jin Ling University thousands of miles away erupted with deafening cheers.

“Amazing… Two Nobel Prizes.”

“First in China, right?”

“Not just China, there are not many in the world who have won two Nobel Prizes!”

“Jesus, our professor is such an insane scholar! I’m never skipping class again.”

The time in Beijing was exactly nine o’clock in the evening.

CTV applied for the live broadcast rights of the Nobel Prize and broadcast the award ceremony scene nationwide. Except for the live-viewing event organized by the school, almost all the entire school students watched the live broadcast on their phones.

Even though it wasn’t an intense sports game.

However, it was equally as exciting.

Especially since the winner was a graduate of their school.

Nine years ago, they were sitting in the same classroom and in the same library, worrying about the same problems, exams, and papers.

Winner of the physics prize and chemistry prize.

Among the living scholars in the world today, no one could compare to him.

Li Mo looked at the computer screen with an excited look on his face. He clenched his fists.

“Teach—Academician Lu is insane!”

He nearly said teacher.

He remembered Professor Lu’s warning him to stop calling him teacher, so he immediately changed to Academician Lu instead.

“Yeah…” Duan Siqi watched Lu Zhou receive the medal from Carl XVI on TV. Duan Siqi said emotionally, “The chemistry prize, then the physics prize. Maybe he will also receive the medicine prize. I’m not surprised anymore.”

Wu Di: “Medicine prize is unlikely. He doesn’t seem to have published any paper in the medical field.”

Yang Shuang: “Who knows? Maybe someday he will be interested in biology. Isn’t there a few concepts that are very popular now? Quantum biology and the mathematics of DNA molecules.”

“What about the literature prize? The literature prize is safe, right?”

“Maybe not. What if, like Dyson, he writes a science fiction novel?”

“If I remember correctly, Dyson won neither the physics prize nor the literature prize…”

Dorm room 201 began to discuss whether “it is possible for Academician Lu to receive the Nobel Prize in medicine and literature”. On the other hand, discussions exploded online.

The Chinese physics community won another Nobel Prize!

The person was Academician Lu, who had won the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry!

The CTV live broadcast for the awards ceremony was at its peak moment, and the comment section of the CTV’s official WeChat account was filled with excited citizens.

“God Lu is nutty!”

“Jesus! Two Nobel Prizes! In two different fields!”

“This is definitely a milestone for the Chinese academic community!”

“Sigh, I feel sorry for next year’s candidates. I am afraid that it will be getting harder and more difficult to be a student of God Lu.”

“Haha, it’s more than difficult! Not to mention the college entrance examination. Apparently, this year, the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study and Jin Ling University have set up an international student scientific research training program. This expands the original scientific research undergraduate talent training program by ten international students. The overseas admissions office at Jin Ling University was bombarded with applications!”

“Really?”

“Of course! Don’t you want a letter of recommendation from a Nobel Prize winner?”

Shuimu University’s website.

As the most highly educated forum in China, the discussions on the forum were relatively professional.

“I didn’t expect the Nobel Committee to give the award to the Z particle!”

“Yes, I thought they would consider the electrostrong interaction theory! You don’t know how excited our physics professor was in class when Professor Lu first came up with the electrostrong interaction theory! He almost had a heart attack!”

“Haha, Professor Xu, right? I heard about it, he was in class during the report!”

“It is reasonable to give the award to the Z particle. After all, no one has ever discovered particles in a high-dimensional space before, and no one has ever explained the process of high-dimensional matter falling from n-dimensional to n-1 through both experiments and theory. His research results might become the basic theory for the physics community to study high-dimensional matter in the future. This contribution is not inferior to Newton’s theorems of mechanics and Einstein’s standard model!”

“Moreover, I feel that this Nobel Prize has not taken into account the ILHCRC and the Lunar Hadron Collider. Even though this is not an academic achievement, it is not an exaggeration to say that the ILHCRC will produce at least 30 Nobel Prizes over the next century! The significance of this may be greater than the Z particle and the paper on the theory of the Void.”

“It’s just that these things are too early to say for sure. Only time will tell.”

However, one thing was for certain.

Looking at the history of physics, Lu Zhou’s achievements were definitely enough to rank him as one of the top three all-time greatest physicists.

…

Lu Zhou stood on this award platform, listening to the thunderous applause from the audience behind him. When he received the medal from the old man in front of him, he couldn’t help but feel a little surprised.

It’s been five years.

Time surely flies by.

From controllable fusion to the manned landing on the moon, to the two almost impossible projects that were the Lunar Hadron Collider and lunar mass driver… Everything was because of the countless days and nights of grinding. Everything felt unreal.

When he saw King Carl XVI’s smile, Lu Zhou suddenly came back to his senses. After hugging him gently, he nodded politely and said, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome, young scholar, this is the honor you deserve.”

A relieved smile appeared on the king’s face. He said in a sincere tone, “You have proved to the world of your wisdom and talent. Mr. Nobel is honored because of you. Your knowledge has changed the world and our way of life. Our children will have a better future because of you.”

He paused for a second and continued, “So, why not influence more people? I believe that money and reputation are no longer your pursuits. With your current influence, you can name a medal after your name and let yourself be a role model for more young people.”

Lu Zhou nodded.

“I’ll think about it.”

When he was at the International Congress of Mathematicians in St. Petersburg, he considered something like this, but he never got around to it for various reasons.

But now…

Perhaps because honors from medals could no longer satisfy him; this urge was getting stronger and stronger.

Carl XVI smiled, nodded, and said in a soft voice, “Just an old man’s suggestion.

“Go on, enjoy the party, there must be a girl waiting for you.”

A girl…

A naughty image flashed in Lu Zhou’s mind.

This feeling made his cheeks feel a little hot. He tried to calm down, but a glimpse of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.

The old man sharply caught the moment of embarrassment that flashed in Lu Zhou’s eyes, and he quickly said with a smile, “It looks like I’m right.

“It’s great to be young, only young people can make mistakes. Don’t let hesitation control your youth. I have made many wrong decisions in my life, but I’m glad I went against my family and married my wife.”

Mr. Carl patted Lu Zhou’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Go on.

“The goddess of the Lake Mälaren will bless you.

“Whether you believe in ancient myths or not, the dance floor of the Blue Hall and the pine forest on the banks of Lake Mälaren are excellent dating sites. No lady will be able to resist such romance.
