The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 693 Nobel Prize Ceremony
Nobel Prize: It is very difficult to win the Nobel Prize twice.

So far, there are only four people: Marie Curie, John Bardeen, Linus Pauling, and Fred Sanger.

Currently, Liu Tao is the only person who has won two Nobel Prizes in the same year!

This is undoubtedly double happiness.

At this time, Liu Tao was discussing the itinerary with relevant departments.

Logically speaking, he is not suitable to go abroad.

This is for his protection.

He holds too many secrets, and his importance to the Chinese scientific community is self-evident.

But he has to go this time. This time he will go to Sweden again with his leader. In this way, security will naturally be maximized and there is no need to worry about anything happening.

Unless the Swedes are crazy, they will declare war and seek their own destruction!
Subsequently, Liu Tao devoted his time and energy to the development of short take-off/vertical landing carrier-based fighters, which are related to light aircraft carrier-based aircraft.

To develop a short take-off/vertical landing carrier-based fighter, the first thing to do is to solve the power system.

Previous fighter jet power systems certainly cannot be used because this requires a steerable turbofan engine.

In this state, time passed quickly and in the blink of an eye it was already December.

On December 12, a special plane landed smoothly on the runway of Stockholm Airport.

The ceremony was very grand.

Liu Tao and his family did not get off the car at that time, but waited until the ceremony was over.

Liu Tao and his family were arranged to stay at the Stockholm Grand Hotel.

According to the practice of previous Nobel Prizes, Nobel Prize winners and their relatives and friends are usually arranged here.

The next day was December 12th.

It was only three o'clock in the afternoon and it was already dark in Stockholm.

At this time, Stockholm has entered the long dark night of the Nordic winter.

However, the darkness and cold did not dispel people's enthusiasm.

The entrance of the Stockholm Grand Hotel was crowded with reporters from all over the world, holding cameras or microphones, quietly waiting for an opportunity.

"There are so many people outside!" Zhu Lin, who was standing in front of the hotel window, wearing a specially tailor-made dress, was a little stage fright.

Liu Tao smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, there are only a few people here!"

Liu Tao didn't care. He had seen many scenes with more people.

Zhu Lin is his lover, so she is also his female companion this time and set out with him.

There were two groups of motorcades heading to the Stockholm Concert Hall, one group was the Nobel Prize winners and their accompanying relatives, and the other group was the guests invited to attend the award ceremony and the subsequent dinner.

Although the difference is only in the ceremony, the feeling it gives people is still different.

Liu Tao checked the time and straightened his clothes. Zhu Lin stepped forward and took Liu Tao's hand, and the two walked forward. Outside the hotel, the weather was very cold and snow was falling from the sky, but the atmosphere was warm.

After struggling to squeeze to the front row, the CCTV reporter in a down jacket, holding a microphone in his hand, stood in front of his companion's camera, and used his excited voice to convey the grand occasion to the audience thousands of kilometers away.

This time, CCTV-4 International Channel broadcast the entire event live.

The live broadcast started an hour ago.

The guests invited to the live broadcast introduced Nobel, the Nobel Prize, the history of Stockholm Hotels, and the history of Stockholm Concert Hall. They also introduced the Chinese people who have won the Nobel Prize in the past!
"This is the Grand Hotel in Stockholm, and we are waiting for the winners who will go to the Stockholm Concert Hall to attend the Nobel Prize ceremony."

"There are so many people here, and everyone is very excited. In addition to reporters from other media, there are also local citizens of Stockholm and Chinese students studying abroad - look!"

There is no time to explain.

Following a commotion among the crowd at the door, a group of figures walked out of the hotel entrance.

The camera moved quickly, locking onto the figure that the whole of China wanted to see most at that moment.

Liu Tao noticed the CCTV reporter. The CCTV logo was too obvious. He pulled Zhu Lin's hand, and they both looked towards the camera, smiling and waving to the camera and the audience behind it.

Catching Liu Tao's gaze, the reporter became even more excited, his voice even trembling slightly with excitement.

"The person walking in front of us is our country's chief scientist and the winner of this year's Nobel Prize in Physics and Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Beside him is his lover, Ms. Zhu Lin, a famous Chinese actress and artist, who is sharing this glorious moment with him."

I don’t know how many people in front of the TV stood up excitedly when they saw Liu Tao’s figure. They couldn’t sit still anymore, and some even shouted excitedly.

That's a burst of pride!
How to be proud of it!

Then they saw Zhu Lin next to Liu Tao, and countless people shouted "Queen of the Kingdom of Women", "Bai Suzhen"/"White Lady"!
Although Zhu Lin only acted in these two TV series, they are classic enough to be broadcast several times every year. The characters she played, "The Queen of the Kingdom of Women" and "Bai Suzhen", are so classic and deeply rooted in people's hearts that even though Zhu Lin has not played any role in recent years, countless people still remember her.

At this moment, many people knew that Zhu Lin was actually married, and her husband was Liu Tao.

Liu Tao and Zhu Lin then boarded the special car waiting at the hotel entrance and went to the award ceremony together with other Nobel Prize winners.

At 4:30 pm, the Nobel Prize award ceremony officially kicked off with the singing of the Swedish royal music "The King's Song".

More than 1,300 people attended the award ceremony, including members of the Nobel family, royal family, political leaders, and people from the cultural and academic circles.

This time, it was the first time that China broadcast the Nobel Prize ceremony live, which also allowed the Chinese people to feel the grandeur of this award ceremony.

It can be said that the Nobel Prize ceremony is the most grand event in Sweden every year. The etiquette requirements are very high and comprehensive.

The first person to take the stage to deliver a speech was not the king, but the chairman of the Nobel Foundation, which is also the practice of previous Nobel Prize winners. He praised the winners as role models and authorities, and hoped that they would continue their work and make greater scientific discoveries in the future.
Later, the king delivered a speech, in which he expressed his blessings to the Nobel Prize winners, etc., which was similar to previous years.

Then came the award ceremony.

The awards are presented in order, with the first being the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, followed by the Prize in Physics, the Prize in Chemistry, the Prize in Literature, the Peace Prize, and the Prize in Economics.

Among these, the Peace Prize and the Economics Prize are the least valuable, followed by the Literature Prize.

The three major scientific awards, namely the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, the Nobel Prize in Physics, and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, are the most valuable and the most respected.

Although these three awards are not truly fair and just, each winner has made significant achievements, so even if there are controversies, they will not be that big.
