"Take this as a warning!"
Wang Haifeng's face turned pale when he heard his former supervisor's words.
As a result, when he left the office, he was like a puppet being led by a string, walking in a daze.
When he remembered Academician Liu's meaningful look, he suddenly realized how dangerous his actions were.
Perhaps it was because the face was so young, even younger than his students, that he almost forgot the unspoken rules in academia.
The only thing he was glad about right now was that Lu Zhou wasn't a narrow-minded person.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even need to do anything.
This was the first time he was so glad that the person he saw as a thorn in his side didn't care about him at all …
…
In fact, Wang Haifeng overestimated himself.
If it wasn't for the fact that he met Lu Zhou at the state banquet last time, Lu Zhou wouldn't even remember Lu Zhou.
According to the Nobel Prize award process, there would be a Nobel Prize lecture the next day after the banquet.
At around 14 o 'clock, Lu Zhou arrived at the lecture hall of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences as scheduled. He gave a thirty-minute lecture with the theme of "The Mystery of Numbers in the Microscopic World".
When he arrived at the lecture hall, it was crowded. It was even more crowded than the Nobel Prize banquet, but no one complained.
Not only did chemistry scholars from all over the world come to the lecture, but there were also students from the University of Stockholm, the Royal Swedish Institute of Technology, and even some local citizens who were interested in science.
According to the tradition of the previous Nobel Prize lectures, the lectures here weren't completely professional in nature. Even if one didn't have knowledge in the relevant field, one could more or less understand what was being said on stage.
Of course, it wasn't completely scientific.
Simply put, the purpose of the Nobel Prize lectures was to allow scholars in the same field to understand what the Nobel Prize winner had done or was doing, what the significance of the work was, and what it meant for the academic community and even the world.
This sounded simple, but it wasn't easy to actually do this.
After all, in the second half of the 20th century, the development of the academic field had gone from barbaric growth to refinement. Those in the field of electrochemistry might not necessarily understand the research in the field of physical chemistry, and scholars in the field of biochemistry might not even be able to understand the papers in the first two fields.
In this regard, any subject was the same.
In this report, Lu Zhou didn't use complicated formulas to explain his arguments. He only talked about the problems he encountered when researching the HCS-2 material, as well as his thoughts on some anomalies.
Although he didn't use any passionate words, the audience was particularly engrossed in his speech.
On the one hand, it was out of respect for the Nobel Prize winner.
More importantly, it was out of admiration for this Nobel Prize winner's knowledge …
Many people spent their entire lives only to become proficient in a certain field.
If he could make some small progress on this basis, then he would not let down his mission as a scholar.
In fact, modern science was progressing through the accumulation of these bits and pieces of knowledge.
However, this rule only applied to ordinary people.
For him, whether it was electrochemistry theory or lithium-sulfur batteries, these problems that required many people to solve were solved by him alone …
Soon after, the speech came to an end. Lu Zhou paused for half a second and briefly concluded.
"… I remember hearing a saying a long time ago. When you make all the mistakes you can make in a field, you can become an expert in that field. Because for you, you already know which attempts are destined to be wrong."
"In my opinion, mathematical tools provide a unique perspective. It allows us to bypass our inherent experience and think about phenomena that we don't understand from God's point of view. "
"What is science?"
The audience paused for a second and Lu Zhou spoke in a confident tone.
"In my opinion, it's about thinking rationally about what we don't understand."
There was a thunderous applause in the venue.
The audience stood up to pay their respects.
Lu Zhou bowed and walked off the stage.
…
Outside the lecture hall, in the corridor of the Royal Academy of Sciences, under the leadership of a middle-aged Chinese man, several civil servants in suits and leather shoes were standing there.
When Lu Zhou walked out of the lecture hall, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up. He smiled and walked toward Lu Zhou.
"Professor Lu used vivid language to give us a thrilling speech!"
When Lu Zhou heard this unexpected compliment, he looked at the strange man and nodded with a smile. "Thank you, you are?"
Zhang Wenbin smiled and reached out his hand. "Zhang Wenbin, Ambassador to Sweden."
Ambassador?
Lu Zhou shook hands with this unexpected visitor and said, "It's Mr. Ambassador, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you." Ambassador Zhang shook Lu Zhou's hand and said, "Also, congratulations, Professor Lu! You won an award on the podium. You brought glory to the Chinese scientific community! "
"You're too kind." Lu Zhou smiled modestly and said, "There are many outstanding Chinese scholars in the international academic community. A Nobel Prize is just icing on the cake."
"You're too humble! If a Nobel Prize is just icing on the cake, then there's nothing to be proud of. "Ambassador Zhang paused for a second and said," Can I ask if you have any plans after your trip to Stockholm? "
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and said, "I might have to go to France."
Ambassador Zhang was slightly stunned. "France?"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Yeah, there's a Millennium Prize Problems prize there. I'm planning on accepting it on the way."
Accepting the prize on the way …
Millennium Prize Problems …
I can …
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the consulate staff twitched.
Even Ambassador Zhang, who was used to big events, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
But very quickly, he quickly coughed to cover up his gaffe without leaving a trace.
"I always thought that winning awards only happened in the sports world, I didn't expect it to happen in academia too. Professor Lu is really … amazing. "
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "It's okay."
If he counted the Fields Prize from a few months ago, then this year's speed of winning was a bit fast.
Ambassador Zhang quickly asked, "What about after you go to France?"
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and said, "I'm going home for Chinese New Year. I don't have any other plans."
Hearing this, Ambassador Zhang finally had a bright smile on his face, and he suggested with a smile.
He smiled and said, "Before you go home, can you go to Beijing?"
Lu Zhou: "Beijing?"
