When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

August 7th.

A piece of news suddenly broke out on overseas media platforms.

Wang Donglai is among the Nobel Prize nominees this year!

Nobel Prize!

This is a Nobel Prize!
The award was established in 1895 and is now over 123 years old.

After so many years of development, the Nobel Prize has become the most important scientific award system in the world today, and the award-winning achievements basically represent the latest achievements and highest level of human scientific research.

The awards cover physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace.

The main awards are the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, the Nobel Prize in Physics, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, the Nobel Prize in Literature, the Nobel Peace Prize, and the Nobel Prize in Economics.

There's also an interesting aspect to the Nobel Prize.

That is, there is no Nobel Prize in Mathematics.

Regarding this, there is a story circulating online that Nobel had a girlfriend who was 13 years younger than him, but she later eloped with a mathematician. This incident greatly affected Nobel, and he never considered marriage again, remaining a bachelor until the end of his life. It was precisely because of this incident that he unceremoniously excluded mathematics from the prizes when establishing them.

Of course, this is just an unofficial historical account.

The real reason, however, was that Nobel neglected mathematics, influenced by the era he lived in and his scientific views.

In the latter half of the 19th century, research in the field of chemistry generally did not require advanced mathematics, and Nobel himself could not have foreseen the enormous role that mathematics would play in promoting scientific development. Therefore, it is understandable that he neglected to establish the Nobel Prize in Mathematics.

The Nobel Prize is awarded annually and includes a gold medal, a certificate, and a cash prize. As of 2018, it has been awarded to 907 individuals and 21 teams, with 4 individuals and 1 team winning twice and 1 team winning three times.

As for the selection process, it's much simpler.

In September and on January 31 of the following year, nominees for the Nobel Prizes are accepted. Usually, about 1000 to 2000 nominees are recommended each year, and self-nomination is not allowed!

The governments of Switzerland and Norway have no right to interfere in the selection of the Nobel Prize.

In February, the judging panel will screen and approve the candidates, and the process will be kept strictly confidential.

The list of Nobel Prize winners will be announced in mid-October.

The awards ceremony was held on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, with grand events taking place in Stockholm and Oslo, attended by the King and Queen of Sweden, who presented the awards.

Now, news has suddenly emerged that Wang Donglai is among the Nobel Prize nominees, and that he has a very high chance of winning.

This news immediately sparked a huge discussion internationally.

Laypeople may only know that the Nobel Prize is the most famous and important award in the world, but they may not know much about some of the inside stories.

Just like the information about the candidates, according to the Nobel Prize selection rules, this list of candidates is not made public and is kept confidential for up to fifty years.

Every year, all sorts of rumors circulate, claiming that someone has been nominated and become a Nobel Prize candidate, but no one can be sure if it's true or false, because it can only be verified fifty years later.

Therefore, the immediate reaction online to this news was that it was impossible.

rumor!

However, as more and more authoritative media outlets reposted the content, and some authoritative figures also provided public confirmation, the situation became more complex.

This immediately increased the credibility of the news by several levels.

Nobody's stupid; this news just suddenly came out at this time.

It's obvious they're trying to curry favor or send a message.

It's practically certain that Wang Donglai will win the award!

Those in the know are concerned about why this year's Nobel Prize selection process was exceptionally leaked in advance.

Ordinary netizens only had one thought: Wang Donglai is awesome!

The New York Times: "Did he single-handedly end the Silicon Valley era?"

The Guardian: "Beijing's Nobel Hacking?"

Some media outlets in the Bald Eagle Federation exaggerated the threat in their headlines, portraying Wang Donglai as a terrifying demon king.

"Xuanwu Battery's power rating is suspected of being falsified!"

"HarmonyOS is suspected of plagiarizing MIT's open-source code!"

"Changqing Liquid should not be considered a daily chemical product, but rather a drug that requires clinical trials. Clearly, Changqing Liquid is being deliberately classified as a daily chemical product in order to avoid clinical trials."

"Behind the Deification: Unveiling the Official Background of Academician Wang Donglai!"

"The secret behind Galaxy Technology's market value exceeding one trillion yuan in just a few years by disrupting the market with technology and manipulating capital."

"The Nobel Prize should uphold its non-political tradition!"

"Leaking information in advance is the most vicious desecration of the 123-year history of the Nobel Prize!"

It's fair to say that netizens and media abroad have strong opinions about this matter.

Opening one's mouth is a violation of the rules, demanding the disqualification of Wang Donglai's nomination, etc.

The news quickly reached China.

Nobel Prize!

In fact, Guan Moyan won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2012, becoming the first Chinese writer to receive the award.

Later, in 2015, Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering artemisinin.

Therefore, the number of Nobel Prize winners in the country is not zero.

However, Wang Donglai's situation was different this time.

The reasons given by the Nobel Prize committee are clear from this.

'To recognize Wang Donglai's pioneering contributions in the fields of energy, information, aerospace, and semiconductors, the committee made an exception and included him in the final round of nominations for the Physics/Chemistry dual prizes.'

Winning two prestigious Nobel Prizes at once is an extremely rare occurrence in the history of the Nobel Prizes.

If Wang Donglai wins the prize this time, he will break the record of the youngest laureate, Lawrence, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1915 at the age of 25 for his research on X-ray crystal structures.

Wang Donglai is only 22 years old.

When the news reached China, online media immediately buzzed with excitement.

"Holy crap, did I wake up too fast and am I still dreaming?"

"We are a great power; we don't care about these superficial things!"

"What's so exciting about this? It's just a Nobel Prize, what's so great about it? The Bald Eagle Federation already has 377 winners, the second-ranked British Empire has 130, while we only have two at most. Even if Academician Wang wins this time, it will only be three people."

"Who said there were only three? Professor Yang, Professor Li, Professor Ding, Professor Cui, and Professor Qian have all won the Nobel Prize. How could we leave out these big names?"

"The person upstairs should take a good look at the information. What are their nationalities? They're just Chinese, not Chinese. To be precise, they're foreigners." "Aren't you all getting a little too excited? Have you forgotten that this is just a nomination? The winners won't be announced until October. It's still uncertain whether Academician Wang will even win!"

"Exactly! The higher we praise Academician Wang now, the harder he'll fall if he doesn't win the award, just like Murakami from Japan, a perennial runner-up!"

"If the Nobel Prize doesn't go to Academician Wang, who else could it be awarded to?"

"To reiterate, it is an honor for the Nobel Prize to be awarded to Academician Wang, not an honor for Academician Wang. These are two completely different concepts."

"Actually, I think it would be better if Academician Wang didn't accept the award. Anyway, I feel that this award nomination came too suddenly. Otherwise, why was there no news for so long, and why did the news have to come out at this time?"

"There must be something fishy going on here. Maybe some forces are trying to use this award as an opportunity to harm Academician Wang."

"It's hilarious. A bunch of bumpkins who haven't even left their own country are slandering developed countries. It's laughable."

"Take a good look. This is the Nobel Prize, not some no-name award. It has considerable international recognition."

There has been a great deal of online discussion about the Nobel Prize nominations.

Wang Donglai naturally received the news as well.

Winning the Nobel Prize is a significant honor and achievement for China.

However, Wang Donglai remained calm.

Upon hearing this news, he immediately concluded that there was something wrong.

He knew all too well the true nature of the Bald Eagle Federation.

Given his abilities, he was probably targeted a long time ago.

If you really go abroad, you will definitely be targeted.

What happened to Ruan Wei was not something that could happen, but something that was bound to happen.

HarmonyOS operating system, Xuanwu battery, rocket engine, lithography factory, quantum computer...

Each technology was like stabbing the Bald Eagle Federation in the heart.

Without boasting, Wang Donglai's emergence narrowed the technological gap between China and the Bald Eagle Federation by a full three years.

In some areas, they have even surpassed and taken the lead over the Bald Eagle Federation.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall!

Wang Donglai understood this principle very well, so he immediately prepared to decline the invitation to go abroad to receive the award.

However, after considering the idea for a moment, Wang Donglai dismissed it.

"Boss, everything is ready, we just need the right opportunity."

In the office, the voice of Wa suddenly came from Wang Donglai's computer.

At the same time, a picture of a young lady grinding ink and writing appeared on the computer screen.

Clearly, this young lady is Nuwa.

"Oh, I'd like to hear how your preparations are going?"

Wang Donglai asked with interest.

"Currently, based on information found online, I have found information on four overseas scholars who committed academic fraud."

"The first is Samson Jacob, an oncologist at Ohio State University. Many of his papers contain fabricated images, and the authenticity of some of the original data is questionable."

"The reason for choosing this person is that he has considerable fame in this field. An article he wrote in 2008 has been cited nearly 400 times and has had a far-reaching impact."

"The second is Xianglin Shi, a professor of oncology at the University of Kentucky in the Commonwealth of America. He has received 5000 million in funding. I have to say something bold about him: in the same article, there are seven obvious instances of repeated use of GAPDH internal control bands. One image used seven times is too arrogant."

"The third is an academic heavyweight from the Bald Eagle Federation, Professor Carlo M. Croce of Ohio University. He is a member of the Bald Eagle Federation National Academy of Sciences, a member of the National Academy of Medicine, a recipient of the million-dollar Dan David Prize, a recipient of the Clowes Memorial Award, a pioneer in miRNA and cancer genetic mechanism research, an editor-in-chief of a high-impact SCI journal, and a contributing author to top journals such as CNS..."

“In my investigation, this person had more than 25 papers with obvious and serious fraud, many of which were published in PNAS, JBC, and Cancer Research, and were cited hundreds of times.”

"As for the fourth person, it is Professor Iero Anversa of Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School. As the pioneer in the field of 'cardiac stem cells', this professor is considered by many to be a strong contender for the Nobel Prize in Medicine. He has published related articles in top journals such as Nature, Cell, NEJM, and Lancet."

"However, according to my investigation and analysis, the professor's paper data is fabricated. C-kit cells cannot regenerate myocardium at all, myocardial stem cells do not exist. It can be said that this person told a huge lie."

As a true artificial intelligence, Nuwa's core was cultivated by Wang Donglai, so it naturally leans towards traditional Chinese culture.

During the exchange, the Chinese style was more prominent.

After listening, Wang Donglai pondered for a moment before speaking, "Let's change the plan. We can put the first two aside for now."

"Focus more on the two behind us. We must ensure that our counterattack is powerful, decisive, and swift. We must not give them any chance to refute or defend themselves."

"Academic fraud exists in every country; it is unavoidable."

"However, in the battle of public opinion, we must take the initiative. We cannot allow a situation where when our own scholars commit fraud, there is widespread discussion and reflection online, but when overseas scholars commit fraud, there is no ripple at all. This situation may have occurred in the past, but it cannot continue in the future."

"I will give you access to the group's media platforms such as Toutiao, Neihan, and Douyin. You should make full use of them."

"In terms of public opinion and momentum, we must defend our position and not let the West easily take it over."

"This is only the first phase. We will continue to expand our reach, establish our presence on overseas media platforms, and make our voice heard."

Upon hearing Wang Donglai's words, Nuwa immediately became excited.

"Boss, I understand what you mean."

"When the time comes, I'll just create a thousand or ten thousand alt accounts and chase after these people who fawn over foreigners."

“Reduce their traffic, cut their audience, then find their problems and relentlessly attack them.”

"In short, we must control online public opinion!"

Nuwa's tone was filled with excitement.

For some reason, Wang Donglai felt a bad premonition when he heard Wa's tone.

But this fleeting feeling vanished in an instant.

"Wa, this is only part of your job. Don't let small things cause you to lose sight of the bigger picture. The group's business still needs you to handle it."

Wang Donglai reminded Wa of something.

"Boss, I will."

"By the way, boss, could I have more autonomy?"

Wang Donglai was taken aback by Wa's sudden question.

Autonomous authority? (End of this chapter)
