Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 462: The World's Most Crowded Dinner

Nervous?

Maybe a little.

But I can't feel it anymore.

Excited?

That's necessary.

As the supreme honor of the scientific community, it is also the greatest praise for an academic and even the world.

The Nobel Prize can bring something far beyond the nine million kroon prize itself.

For that matter alone, even the Fields Prize was half bad.

In a thunderous applause, the ark walked smoothly onto the podium.

In a brief upright look with the jury, Dean Kras smiled at him, Dean Olof nodded his compliments, Ms. Lindsay had no expression on her face, and Dean Buzezinski... might seem a little unhappy?

Obviously, even now, there is still considerable disagreement within the Nobel Prize for Chemistry jury.

But in any case, by this moment, it has become final.

Staring at a pair of sights and in the eyes of media journalists from all over the world, the Ark took the award certificate and the golden medal from King Carl XVI Gustav.

The right hand of the ark shook and Karl XVI Gustav smiled and said.

“Congratulations, young scholar, I have awarded so many years of prizes, and you are one of the youngest. ”

The Ark nodded politely and smiled, “Thank you, I'm sure you'll be younger in the future. ”

Carl XVI smiled and said, "Ha ha, I hope so. May our science always be young! ”

The guests stood up to pay tribute.

Applause again for the Stockholm Concert Hall.

And for a long time...

……

After the award ceremony.

As is customary, all winners and invited guests will move to the Blue Room at Stockholm City Hall for the famous Nobel Dinner.

Looking at the brick red building next to the lake, the ark walking up the stairs suddenly said, "Actually, the last time I came here, I wanted to ask. ”

Maester Staffan said with pleasure, "What do you want to ask? Maybe I can answer for you. ”

The ark looked around and said casually: "Why is this called the Blue Room? I have no idea where this looks blue. ”

When he heard the question, Staffan laughed and said in a funny tone: “A lot of people have asked me that question. It is said that the designers of the city hall had originally intended to paint the area blue, so as to light up the lake view of Lake Meralun, and when it was finally built, they found that the red bricks looked more solemn. ”

The ark snapped: “So the Blue Hall isn't finished yet? ”

Staffan said with a smile, "From a blueprint point of view, that's theoretically the case. ”

The Nobel Prize has been held here for more than a century, whether or not it is “finished”. This is an ancient ritual that can be described in academia, and it's not just the interest of academics, but also people outside of academia.

Thousands of people write to the Nobel Prize Foundation every year to apply for eligibility to attend parties, even if the odds of being drawn are no different from the first prize in the lottery.

Sitting at the host's reception, the boat looked around into the Blue Room.

Saving heads between rows of long tables is more crowded than the debriefing scene.

If it's any different from the Crawford Awards ceremony, I'm afraid it's crowded.

One thousand and three hundred people eat at the same time, and when all the guests are seated, everyone is almost shoulder-to-shoulder. Legend has it that the dining space is only 40 centimeters wide per capita, yet the ark feels that the real situation may be more serious than thought.

Soon after, the first dish was served, a bottle of wine without label.

After opening the cork, that dense bubble is like a string of thin wires stretched from the bottom of the bottle to the mouth of the bottle and lasts until it seems to float. Apart from the elegant floral and fruity notes, the nose carries a hint of baked oak barrel.

Poured a glass in the cup for the ark and himself, the Staffan Academician laughed and introduced, "Fanny, the champagne of a small farmer in the French Grand Garden, is characterized by its sweetness and glycerin. In order to satisfy the supply of more than a thousand people, the Nobel Foundation signed a special estate. ”

Looking at the crystal clear liquid, the ark laughed: "You guys really enjoy it. ”

“Not just to enjoy, but also to honor,” Master Staffan lifted the glass with a smile, "cheers. ”

The ark touched him and said, "Cheers! ”

As Dean Staffan described, the intake of liquor is extraordinarily sweet and refreshing.

Perhaps that's the taste of victory?

……

The atmosphere in the Blue Hall is hot and there is no room outside the Blue Hall.

Although it is already dark in Northern Europe, it is far from bedtime.

Many Stockholm city locals walk unconsciously to the shores of Lake Meralen, looking far ahead at the red brick building.

There are also local Chinese overseas students.

To say who is happier than the Ark and his family is undoubtedly the local Chinese community.

Excluding those extremists, no one is more sympathetic to the achievements of his fellow countrymen than the majority of those living in exotic villages.

As early as October, when the Nobel Prize for Chemistry jury released the list of chemical awards, the Chinese diaspora throughout Stockholm held a celebration.

And now it seems that the event was nothing more than today's rehearsal.

Because the people gathered here today are much bigger than that day.

With red lanterns in their hands, they stood outside Stockholm City Hall and stood blackened along the streets.

Because of curiosity, a number of local citizens have joined.

Looking away, it's like swimming. Okay, it's like a holiday again.

Naturally, this scene cannot escape the eyes of journalists.

Targeting the shot at a crowd gathering outside Stockholm City Hall, CTV's journalist lady faces the shot and says in a passionate voice.

“On the night of the Nobel Prize, many local people, Chinese expatriates and Chinese students gathered outside Stockholm City Hall. They had red lanterns in their hands, and they wanted to send the warmest and most sincere blessings to the Chinese scholar's ark in such a special way. ”

“Let's interview them and see how they feel right now! ”

She caught a young, Chinese looking passerby and asked in a nice voice.

“Hello, sir, are you an international student? ”

Little brother in a down jacket nodded: “Yes. ”

“Was it all so lively here on December 10? ”

Student Brother Abroad: “Depending on the situation, outside Stockholm City Hall is very lively this time of year, but it's just been a particularly lively year. ”

“How do you feel about Professor Ark winning the Nobel Prize," the reporter asked with a smile? ”

Xiao smiled softly: “Well, my biggest feeling is that after seeing Professor Lu, I finally know the distance between myself and the Nobel Prize. ”

The reporter had an embarrassing and rude smile on his face.

Bullshit, is that what you're gonna say?

Habitual landscape.

The little brother gently coughed, toned his whole face and continued.

“Beyond that, of course, my greatest emotion was that I saw in him the progress and development of Chinese academia. ”

“The talent of the new era is growing, and perhaps it is still lacking, but over time, I am sure that not only Professor Lu, there will be more scholars from mainland China on this stage of internationalization to make our voice heard! ”
