Very few people in the world could win two Nobel Prizes at the same time.
Because this meant that they had to be recognized by the vast majority of scholars in two major fields of science.
After entering the 21st century, the fields and branches of disciplines were more refined than the hairs on a scholar's head. Every branch had "world-class problems", so this was almost impossible.
Forget about being recognized by the vast majority of scholars in two fields, just the number of people waiting in line to receive the Nobel Prize was already in their nineties …
Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.
Director Carson was standing in front of the dean's office. He had a nervous look on his face. The receptionist standing next to him thought there was something wrong with his expression, so he slowed down and reminded him again in English.
"This is Academician Lu's office."
"I know, thank you."
There was a flash of annoyance in Director Carson's eyes. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He reached out and grabbed the cold door handle.
Squeak —
The door opened.
He looked at the man sitting behind the desk and squeezed a bright smile on his face. He then walked into the office.
"Congratulations! I heard you won another Nobel Prize! This time it's physics? "
Lu Zhou: "Yes."
"Amazing! The last person to win the Nobel Prize twice in two different fields was Madame Curie, and that was a century ago. "
When Director Carson said this, he obviously ignored Linus Pauling's Peace Prize. But in fact, there was no need to mention the Peace Prize.
Lu Zhou smiled and nodded gently.
"Thank you."
Director Carson took a whole day off from Beijing to come here. Obviously, his purpose wasn't just to give him a few compliments from across the Pacific Ocean.
Just like that old man surnamed Li. Every time he asked him for help, he would unconsciously change the way he addressed him to "sir". This kind of person who was so eager to please him was most likely planning to make a difficult request.
Therefore, Lu Zhou wasn't in a hurry.
After Lu Zhou responded to Director Carson and asked his secretary to pour him some tea, he looked at Carson with a smile on his face and waited for him to speak.
"… Before coming here, I actually thought of many possibilities."
"Possible?"
"Yes." Director Carson sighed and said, "Although I am very reluctant to admit this, we did lose this competition."
A look of surprise appeared on Lu Zhou's face.
Director Carson looked at Lu Zhou and spoke.
"… Your country's aerospace capabilities are strong enough. Even if we spend 50 years, it will be difficult for us to replicate the results you achieved on the Moon. I'm very curious … to what extent will you be satisfied? "
Lu Zhou smiled faintly and said, "It's impossible to be satisfied. Even though our Moon Palace is majestic enough, it is still very small compared to the universe."
"Furthermore, how far we can go in this field concerns all of our futures."
Director Carson: "I want to know if this future includes other countries."
Lu Zhou: "Of course it does, but I don't really want to discuss this issue. Mr. Carson, you are a politician, and I am a scholar. We focus on different issues and have different understandings of the future. You might focus on the high-value-added aerospace industry, how many jobs it can bring, and how much power it can give you in Congress. But as a scholar … I don't care about these things. "
Director Carson frowned, but he quickly relaxed his brows and asked calmly.
"Then what do you care about?"
Lu Zhou spoke softly.
"That's a long story."
…
Jin Ling University library club room.
Han Mengqi sat at the long table and flipped through the script in her hand. She frowned slightly. After flipping through the last few pages many times, she finally put down the script in her hand and gave her own evaluation.
"I feel like this script is missing something."
The female screenwriter, who was sitting on the other side of the long table, quickly stood up and asked in a serious tone.
She then asked in a serious tone, "What is missing?"
"The part about love."
"Love? Can you be more specific? "
"Yeah …" Han Mengqi seemed to be struggling with whether she should say this or not. She finally made up her mind and said, "Specifically, it's about love."
"Love?" The female scriptwriter was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said, "Although there might be some popular celebrities in the movie, this movie is not about love."
On the one hand, it was to take care of the audience's age. After all, many parents might bring their children to the cinema to watch the movie. If it was about love, it might cause confusion among young people.
As for the other part, it was more historical.
According to Academician Lu's own oral memories, he had never been in a relationship during his university career. Also, according to interviews with several of his classmates, teachers, and roommates, the library occupied most of his spare time.
"But there has to be … Otherwise, I feel like something is missing." Han Mengqi bit her lips, and after a while, she continued with her cheeks burning, "And I feel that … my sister likes him."
After hearing this, the female scriptwriter's face immediately showed a serious expression. She took the script and flipped through it. After thinking for a moment, she continued.
After thinking for a while, she said, "Actually, this matter you mentioned … We discussed it before. We even interviewed the parties and made a questionnaire for them to fill out."
Han Mengqi's eyes widened in surprise.
"You guys … Interviewed the parties?"
"That's for sure. After all, this is a documentary. Even if it's artistic processing, it has to be based on reality." The female scriptwriter smiled and continued, "Our team even held several meetings to discuss the results of the interview and the questionnaire. At first, we also struggled with the relationship between them for a long time, but in the end …"
"In the end?"
Even though it felt a little weird, Han Mengqi couldn't help but ask.
"In the end, we agreed that the feelings between them might be more reflected in a kind of mutual growth and watchfulness. In fact, it was true that they realized the value of their lives and became better versions of themselves. I think there might be a certain distance between this kind of relationship and love. In other words, can you imagine them in a relationship? "
She could imagine the scene of them sitting together in the library.
But the scene of them in a relationship …
Han Mengqi wasn't sure if she couldn't imagine it, or if she didn't want to think about it.
"But … I still don't believe that there is a pure friendship between a boy and a girl."
The female screenwriter suddenly asked.
"Does Miss Han have a close relationship with a boy?"
Han Mengqi's face turned slightly red.
"Why do you suddenly ask this?"
"Because I'm suddenly curious, I hope I didn't offend you."
Seeing the apologetic look in the female screenwriter's eyes, Han Mengqi quickly waved her hand and spoke.
"It's okay, I actually don't know much about this. Maybe you're right, maybe … my sister does have a different kind of feeling for Master."
She scratched her cheek embarrassedly and hesitated for a long time before continuing.
"Otherwise, she would have confessed a long time ago."
With her strong personality, she would definitely do this.
Looking at Han Mengqi's tangled face, the female screenwriter suddenly spoke.
"Why don't you play this role?"
Han Mengqi was stunned and pointed to herself in disbelief.
"Me?"
"Yeah!" The female screenwriter nodded vigorously and grabbed Han Mengqi's hands. Her eyes seemed to shine. "I suddenly feel that only you can fully play the essence of this role!"
"I will propose it to the director! Ask him to give you a chance to audition! Oh, please! Go and try! "
Play Sister Shan?!
Dumbfounded, Han Mengqi looked at the excited female screenwriter. She never thought it would become like this.
But …
She swallowed her saliva lightly. She had originally intended to reject him, but for some reason, she opened her mouth to speak.
"Then … I'll try."
The moment she said this, she regretted it.
But regret is regret, she did not make any statement of regret.
Anyway, it's just an audition, and it's not certain whether I will be chosen in the end.
Comforting herself in her heart, Han Mengqi forcibly convinced herself.
However, even she herself didn't realize that apart from her subconscious resistance, there was actually a trace of expectation that she shouldn't have in her heart ….
