Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 360 Hoffman Medal

The second week after the report ended, it was also held in the auditorium of the University of Humboldt.

Dressed in formal clothes, tied, standing on the same podium, the ark slowly adjusted its breath, and the tumultuous mood in its chest still couldn't help itself.

To be precise, it should be called the podium at this moment.

On the screen behind him are the results of his research in the field of chemistry.

When he came to the stage, Professor Klaus Millen, President of the German Chemical Society, delivered an award message in a steady voice.

“… from modified PDMS films to hollow carbon sphere diffusion inhibitory studies of polysulfur compounds, from imperfect HCS-1 materials to HCS-2 materials that completely solve lithium-sulfur battery technology bottlenecks, and today's theoretical models of electrochemical interface structures. ”

“He did something really meaningful for our world, our civilization, through his own learning. ”

“Few scholars have been able to achieve such significant results at this age that I can count no more than ten names, even in retrospective history. ”

“Now that the theoretical model of the electrochemical interface structure has been completed, with its help we will be able to make further progress and results. We have reason to believe that in the near future it will become an indispensable cornerstone of our doctrine. ”

After a moment of pause, Professor Klaus Millen raised the volume and announced the decision of the German Chemical Society in a frustrating voice.

“Following discussions at the German Chemical Society, we decided to award the Hoffman Medal to Professor Ark to thank him for his contribution to the theoretical chemistry community. ”

“Now, let's give him a round of applause. ”

Professor Millan's voice fell and the applause was thundering in the hall.

Sitting underneath the stage, Professor Etter clapped his hands with a smile and put a thumb up against the ark on the stage.

Fartings, sitting next to him, lacked interest and sat amongst a crowd of bored people, making the old man unbearable to even fight a hatchet.

But when the applause went off, the arrogant old Germain clapped his hands symbolically.

The Brbaki school practises glorious isolation from other disciplines. But even if that theoretical model were to be set aside for the rest of the discipline, there would still be a discernible mathematical aesthetic in the rigorous demonstration process.

Applause is just for that part.

Fartings reluctantly admitted that this part was in his possession.

At the same time, on the podium.

The medals and certificates were placed in the hands of the Ark, and the old man with white hair smiled and extended his right hand.

“Congratulations, Professor Ark. ”

The Hoffman Medal, established in 1902 by the German Chemical Society, provides for the medal to be awarded to scholars of any nationality who make outstanding contributions in the field of chemistry. The medal is awarded from time to time, with a certificate and a gold medal.

As for the prize money, it's not much, it's only 10,000 euros, and the courtesy is gentle.

The Ark is the first Chinese scholar to receive the award since its inception and the youngest of all winners.

Because of the existence of these two layers of significance, the significance behind this honor is even more remarkable.

With medals and certificates in his arms, Ark and Professor Millan grasped them and paid their respectful tribute.

“Thanks.”

Professor Millan laughed and said in a funny tone.

“You're welcome, it's your honor. ”

In a boiling round of applause, the award ceremony came to an end.

However, as part of the celebration, the celebration of the Ark by the German Chemical Society did not end.

In accordance with the tradition of academic awards, the award is followed by a dance.

In the evening, at the Westin Bollinger Hotel, not far from the University of Humboldt, the German Chemical Society arranged a feast of a celebratory nature for which members were essentially invited.

In addition to celebrating the birth of a new Hoffman Medal winner, the main purpose of the banquet was to provide a place to communicate with colleagues who are usually more closed in their social circles.

But as the winner of the Hoffman Medal, the Ark is undoubtedly the star of the banquet.

A number of people would come to him with more or less champagne and congratulate him.

“… China is a beautiful country and I have been there many times. The most I've ever been to was Shanghai, where I was impressed by the library, which was always empty before closing. In my view, a nation that loves books and knowledge deserves respect.” Standing in front of the Ark, Professor Millan, who had previously presented medals to the Ark on the podium, was chatting with him in a friendly tone.

A distinguished scholar usually has many identities, and as President of the German Chemical Society, Professor Millan is also Dean of the German Academy of Sciences, Director of the Polymer Institute of the Maple Society, and an honorary professor from Shanghai.

Whether it's social rhetoric or not, at least his tone is sincere.

The Ark smiled and said, "I'm glad you enjoyed my hometown. I can show you to Jinling University if I get the chance. That's my alma mater, I bet it's a more beautiful place. ”

“Haha, be sure to show me," Professor Millan raised his eyebrows with interest and said with a smile, "There must be something worth studying to cultivate such a brilliant scholar as yourself. ”

Lifting the high foot cup in his hand, Ark and Professor Millan touched the cup and laughed: “Sure. ”

While he was unsure whether Professor Millan could draw inspiration from Kim Dae's educational model, it was always a good thing for his alma mater to exchange experiences and learn from each other at the top universities abroad.

As a handsome senior, he has to do something for his siblings.

……

A lot of wine was poured at the banquet, and even though the ark was still holding its own, it was a little too much.

The first thing after getting in a taxi at the door and returning to the Bernitz Hotel was to take a hot bath in the bathroom.

It washed away the alcohol and although it didn't completely dissipate the intoxication, it also felt quite comfortable.

Dropped his clothes in a box to change laundry, and the ark lay on the bed, facing an empty room, playing with the gold medal in his hand.

Suddenly feeling a little lonely, he opened the small app in his phone and said softly.

“Em, your master, I'm a little dizzy right now, and I'm going to sleep. But before I go to sleep, I always feel like I've forgotten something, so why don't you think about it? ”

Em didn't immediately reply and was probably thinking.

After a while, a line of words popped up on the phone screen.

AG: [Master, I thought you forgot to share the joy with your fans! (๑ • ㅂ •)✧]

Ark: …?

Huh?

Seems...

I really forgot about it.

When I thought of this, I was embarrassed to laugh with a few drunken arks on my face.

This…

How embarrassing.

While the Hoffman Medal is not as well known outside of academia as the Crawford Prize or the Ziegler Prize awarded jointly by the German Chemical Society and the American Chemical Society, it is no less well placed in chemistry.

After all, this award is not given every year.

Given that "things are rare and expensive," the medal has a slightly stronger influence in academia than the Adams Chemistry Award.

If you think about it like that, you can't say enough about not sharing this joy with your fans.

A photograph was taken of the Hoffman Medal and Certificate, and the Ark edited a neck at will.

Ten thousand euros of prize money, the last time I smoked 10 Warwick, I smoked 10 apples this time.

After clicking Send, the Ark threw the phone on the nightstand, beat a debt and rolled over to sleep.
