Chapter 232 The Youngest Nobel Prize Winner in History

In the laboratory, everyone looked at Liu Gaojun and Chen Zhengping with their mouths open in confusion, and even the air became quiet.

Nobel Prize?

Did they hear hallucinations?

Even Xu Chuan showed some disbelief.

He won the Nobel Prize? What's going on?

Although he won the Nobel Prize twice in his previous life, he never thought that he would get this honor now.

This is the Nobel Prize, the highest honor in the scientific community.

Three years ago, Nobel Prize winner Professor Sal Perlmutter recommended his name to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

But Xu Chuan never thought that he would win this academic crown just three years later.

So much so that when Chen Zhengping and the others informed him of the news, he was a little confused.

After all, he was only 21 years old. Even if he had enough achievements, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences would not consider such a young scholar.

Except for eccentrics like William Lawrence Bragg who won the Physics Prize at the age of 25, the other scholars were almost all over 60 years old.

After a while, Xu Chuan came back to his senses and quickly took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

His finger swiped across the screen, and the display quickly lit up and unlocked. There were dozens of missed calls on the phone interface.

The first missed call started with the area code 046, which was from Sweden.

Then, there were some acquaintances.

From Deligne, Witten, Feferman in Princeton, to Chen Zhengping, Liu Gaojun and others in Nanjing University, even his parents and sister, they all called and sent him messages.

It can be said that almost every familiar person called him at least twice, and also sent him text messages or WeChat.

Looking at the display on the phone screen, Xu Chuan couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

From these missed calls and messages, it seems that Chen Zhengping and Liu Gaojun are really not joking, he really won the Nobel Prize.

The calls about the Nobel Prize are actually quite interesting.

Because the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences calls Nobel Prize winners on the day the list of corresponding awards is announced.

Sometimes they are regarded as scammers and hung up on. For example, James Morris, the winner of the 1996 Economics Prize, had hung up the Nobel Prize phone several times "rudely".

Fortunately, Professor Stafanomark, the lifelong secretary of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, had a persevering spirit and finally proved his identity after several calls.

Sometimes, due to the time difference, when the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences called, the winners might be sleeping, or like Xu Chuan, they turned on the shielding mode.

For example, Professor Sal Perlmutter, the winner of the 2011 Physics Prize, was woken up from his sleep by reporters.

If the winners are not connected after continuous calls, the Royal Academy of Sciences will start the "bombing" mode.

They will collect the phone numbers of the winners' relatives, friends and colleagues, notify these friends, and then ask the friends to call to pass on the message, or personally go to pass on the message.

Generally speaking, even if they are sleeping or in shielding mode, at least their parents or wives, daughters and grandchildren can receive the call and then pass it on to the winners.

But the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences may not have expected that this year's "weirdo" Xu Chuan would appear.

His blocking mode really blocked all calls, whether it was from Xu's father or mother, or from anyone else.

So this time, after many people knew that Xu Chuan had won the Nobel Prize, Xu Chuan himself knew the news.

In the office, others were still immersed in this shocking news.

At the same time, Xu Chuan's unblocked mobile phone vibrated again, and the ringing sounded throughout the quiet laboratory, making everyone shudder and wake up quickly.

The call starting with 046 also startled Xu Chuan. He swiped his thumb across the screen and quickly answered the call.

"Professor Xu Chuan, I finally got in touch with you."

When the call was connected, a sigh of relief came from the other end.

Xu Chuan laughed dryly and said, "Sorry, I was doing research in the laboratory today and didn't pay attention to my phone."

"It seems that you already know." Professor Stafano Mark, the lifelong secretary of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, said with a smile.

Xu Chuan nodded and replied, "Yes, my alma mater has informed me, I hope this is true."

"Hahaha, of course." Secretary-General Professor Stafanomark smiled, then cleared his throat and spoke again solemnly.

"Hello, Professor Xu Chuan, I would like to congratulate you on behalf of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences."

"For your great contribution in the field of astrophysics, you have pioneered and created a method to accurately calculate the parameter information of distant celestial bodies, and observed and calculated the detailed information of the Betelgeuse galaxy. You will be awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics together with Professor Arthur Ashkin, a breakthrough in the field of laser physics."

Xu Chuan's heart finally calmed down, and he quickly replied, "Thank you."

Across from him, Secretary-General Professor Stafanomark smiled and said, "This year's Nobel Prize ceremony will be held at the Stockholm Concert Hall in Sweden on December 10, 2018. The invitation letter has been mailed to you. I look forward to your arrival."

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "Thank you, I will attend on time."

"I will welcome you on time." Secretary-General Professor Stafanomark said with a smile.

Then, he suddenly said: "By the way, Professor Xu Chuan, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the astronomy and astrophysics community have an unwelcome request."

Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "You say."

Stavanomark smiled and said on the other end of the phone: "We hope you will rename the achievement 'Extended Application of Xu-Weyl-Berry Theorem'."

"After all, as the main achievement that won the Nobel Prize, it is fully qualified, isn't it?"

"Now it sounds too much like a mathematical achievement."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan was stunned again, and then smiled and said: "Of course, I will consider its new name carefully."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The Nobel Prize, the highest honor in the scientific community, he didn't expect that he would get it just four years after his rebirth. And it's not the result of the Nobel Prize twice in his previous life, but a brand new result developed in this life.

Noticing the expectant eyes of others in the laboratory, Xu Chuan smiled and nodded vigorously.

After receiving the confirmation echo, the whole laboratory instantly boiled.

"Fuck! The boss is awesome!"

"Congratulations, boss!"

"Great, Chuan Shen! The first Nobel Prize and Fields Medal winner in history! Breaking the historical record!"

"Treating, it would be unreasonable if we didn't treat him!"

In the laboratory, there was cheering and congratulations.

For the researchers of the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute, Xu Chuan won the Nobel Prize, and they were also the beneficiaries.

Following the first Nobel Prize and Fields Medal winner in history to do experiments, this work experience is more than just gilded.

It's made of 24K pure gold.

No one thought that researchers in a small institute with a total asset of less than 20 million yuan would have such a super opportunity!

Working in the research team of a Nobel Prize winner, hiss~, just thinking about it is an exciting thing.

The Chuanhai Materials Research Institute was reveling, and the outside world was also cheering and shocked.

On October 4, when the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced this year's Nobel Prize in Physics winners, it was the National Day Golden Week in China.

For most ordinary people, this is an extremely rare holiday.

People who have free time are lying in bed and browsing their phones.

Suddenly, a piece of heavy news directly landed on the top of the hot search list of major software platforms.

The news that Xu Chuan won the Nobel Prize in Physics still climbed to the top of the hot search list of major platforms at a very fast speed.

At first, countless netizens thought it was a fake news that was spread out, or someone was fooling them.

But as time passed, when some people climbed over the wall and took screenshots of the official website of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and when major media announced the good news, the entire network was boiling because of this news.

"People's Daily": "For his great contribution to the field of astrophysics, Chinese scholar Professor Xu Chuan won the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics!"

"New Youth Daily": "For pioneering and creating a method to accurately calculate the parameter information of distant celestial bodies, and observing and calculating the detailed information of the Betelgeuse galaxy, Chinese famous scholar Professor Xu Chuan won the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics!"

"Xinhua Daily": "Congratulations to Professor Xu Chuan of our country for winning this year's Nobel Prize in Physics! Congratulations!"

"Global Times": "."

When major media announced this news on their accounts, the entire Internet exploded instantly.

[Fuck! Is it true? I thought it was an April Fools' joke. ]

[Kawasaki? Nobel Prize in Physics? Didn't he study mathematics and do mathematical research? Same name? Or did Nobel set up a mathematics prize? ]

[Hiss~, I thought it was a joke at first, but it turned out to be true. It's amazing! ]

[If I remember correctly, this guy just won the Fields Medal in August this year, right? Now he has won the Nobel Prize? ]

[Winning both the Nobel Prize and the Fields Medal, this is a record, right? It's not an exaggeration to say that he is the first person in history and the greatest scholar in the world today. ]

[I remember he is only 21 years old this year, wow, a 21-year-old Nobel Prize winner, the youngest Nobel Prize winner in history. ]

[You remembered it wrong, the youngest Nobel Prize winner is 17-year-old Malala Yousafzai. In 2014, she was only 17 years old and won the Nobel Peace Prize. ]

[Peace Prize? Hahahaha, just a joke, the president of the United States can get it, even dogs don't want it (side-eyed smile)]

[Peace Prize? I won't take it even if you give it to me. It's several million——】

[It's so scary! Fortunately, he returned to China. If Chuan Shen was still in the United States, he probably wouldn't be able to come back. 】

[Of course, how could the United States let such a person return after winning both the Nobel Prize and the Fields Medal. 】

[I'm more curious. Hasn't the Nobel Prize always been targeting our country? Why did it break this time (dog head)?]

[Who knows. 】

On the Internet, Xu Chuan, who has been on the hot search for a long time, was once again directly pushed to the hot search by many netizens and media.

Countless netizens discussed it enthusiastically.

Compared with the Fields Medal in mathematics, the Nobel Prize is undoubtedly more famous. In China, it is not a household name, but everyone knows it, but it is almost the same.

In the scientific community, whether you admit it or not, the Nobel Prize, especially the Natural Science Prize, can be said to be the highest honor a researcher or scholar can get.

For China, although it is not the first time to win such a medal, the meaning it represents is completely different.

What's more, the winner has another identity, the Fields Medal winner, who is only 21 years old.

Whether for scholars or researchers, 21 years old is just the beginning.

It is conceivable that with the blessing of such an honor, he will make the most important voice in the scientific community in China and even the world in the next few decades. The future will also be controlled by him.

For the academic community, especially for astrophysics or astronomy, the extended application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem will be fully introduced into universities, and even master's and doctoral courses.

Although many universities have done this before, it is only some universities.

After today, it can be said that most of the colleges and universities with astronomy colleges or astrophysics departments will take the initiative to offer this course.

Although it has just emerged in the academic world.

But a new beginning also means new opportunities. If this course can be made world-class, it will be a great achievement for the school.

In addition, for the mathematics community, this is also a carnival.

This is the scene that the International Mathematical Union is most happy to see.

Mathematics has once again expanded its influence, perfectly integrated with other disciplines, helping each other and improving each other.

If it is said that when the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced the Nobel Prize in Physics on October 4, it was not fully spread and not known by everyone because it was already night in China.

Then when the national propaganda robot started on October 5, Xu Chuan, this familiar name, once again entered the vision of the general public.

Although this is not the first time that the national propaganda machine has promoted this name.

The previous Crafford Award, Fields Medal, and the Hodge conjecture in the seven millennium problems were all promoted when they were solved.

But when this name was linked to the Nobel Prize, he completely entered the minds of the people.

Nobel Prize, Fields Medal, seven millennium problems, Crafford Prize, extended application of Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem, IMO and IPHO double gold medals, top scorer in college entrance examination.

One after another, the honors and achievements were dug up by netizens again, causing countless people to sigh, why they don't have such a brain, and countless parents to sigh, why they don't have such a child.

At the same time, Nanjing University, Xingcheng No. 1 Middle School, and even Xu Chuan's former junior high school and elementary school were dug up.

It is conceivable that these schools, whether teachers or the entire college, will benefit from this.

Even Xu Chuan's hometown, that quiet little mountain village, will become a new tourist attraction.

The original old house may be worshipped and made wishes by tourists from afar.
