Chapter 905 [Chicken Thief’s Nobel Prize-winning Institution]

The call from someone at the Nobel Prize-winning organization prompted him to decide to double funding for the LIGO project. The reason was that the "Sky Mirror" on the other side of the ocean was the first to discover the first gravitational wave event.

This scientific achievement cannot be erased and is a Nobel Prize-level achievement.

If the scientific research team of "Mirror in the Sky" is not awarded, the value of the Nobel Prize will be greatly reduced. People in the Nobel Prize organization know this very well, and they are absolutely unwilling to see such a thing happen.

However, even if the Nobel Prize organization wants to award it, there will definitely be pressure from North America. This is where the Nobel Prize organization faces difficulties.

At this juncture, insiders of the Nobel Prize organization discussed overnight and found a trick. The Nobel Prize stipulates that the same award can be awarded to up to three people, so they thought of a way to award the award to Ning Xingqing and Ji Pu at the same time. Thorne.

In this way, both sides can communicate.

Look, our Nobel Prize organization has always been impartial and will not be swayed by politics. Ning Xingqing won the Nobel Prize in Physics, which is fair.

It's like taking advantage of a loophole.

But there is a major premise for this operation, that is, the Jeep Thorne team of the LIGO project must quickly run the equipment and discover gravitational waves. This is equivalent to verifying the verification of Ning Xingqing’s team, although the first credit will not be obtained. But at least I can make a fuss about it.

As long as the LIGO team is forced in, then at least the Western scientific system will be able to show its face when the scientific achievement of discovering gravitational waves is mentioned.

The meaning behind this is that this time the Nobel Prize is exclusively occupied by the "Mirror of the Sky", which means that the Eastern powers are already ahead of the West in this field, but forcing the LIGO team in, means that the East and the West are at least ahead of the West in this direction. Flat.

Behind this, what is being fought for is not only a scientific status and honor, but also a major issue of whether talents should choose to look east or west.

This is why the National Science Foundation of North America listened to the advice of the thieves from the Nobel Prize-winning organization and doubled its allocation to US$300 million for the LIGO project.

As for the Nobel Prize organization, it can be regarded as resolving a crisis, maintaining the gold content of the Nobel Prize in natural science awards, and at the same time cleverly relieving the pressure on North America.

I have to say that there is something interesting over there in Europe.

Even if this matter reaches Fang Hong's ears, he can only admit it with a pinch of salt. They have awarded the prize to you, and you can't fault it. Scientists from different countries share the same award at the same time. In the Nobel Prize There are countless examples in history, but it is not the precedent set here. It is really hard to say anything.

Someone has awarded you the award, but if you continue to find fault with you, you will be inferior. People will think that you are deliberately looking for trouble.

However, this matter is not harmful to Fang Hong. It is a joy to be able to drag the Nobel Prize organization into trouble. This is the best thing. If it cannot be dragged into the water, there is no real loss.

Whether the Nobel Prize is awarded to Ning Xingqing’s team alone or if Gip Thorne’s team is added to it, it will not change the fact that the first detection of gravitational wave events by humans was a scientific team from a large Eastern country.

But just when most netizens at home and abroad are congratulating Ning Xingqing's team on their major scientific research achievements, there are always people who stand in opposition to the majority of people and sing the opposite.

They do something new and different to attract attention, and they act like everyone is drunk but I am alone.

Naturally, the most diligent and diligent opposition groups are the well-known big V groups, who appear to be acting as social conscience. Every time there is a major breakthrough in scientific research, the so-called "people in the west are eating grass" will always come out at this time as expected.

Some people are jumping out and clamoring for this major scientific research achievement, spending tens of billions just to confirm someone else's prediction made by Einstein a hundred years ago. What happens after it is confirmed? Can it be eaten as a meal?

Arguments like this are rampant.

If this is the result of the North American LIGO project team, these people must be kneeling and licking their heads. They are the light of mankind, the hope of mankind, and the beacon of civilization. They just want to give all the beautiful words they can think of in their minds. superior.

Of course, online wars of words are inevitable, and the battles and confrontations are very lively.

The war of public opinion never stops.

However, Fang Hong has never paid attention to these arguments. He has his own professional team to fight against him. The consequences of his existence at this level are to lower himself and make those people dance more joyfully. Ignoring it is the biggest thing. of contempt.

…

On the other side, after Quantitative Capital received the news, Ning Xingqing's team successfully "jumped in line" and obtained the right to use the supercomputing center for a period of time. They are also seizing the time to do data analysis and strive to announce the authoritative results this month. result.

The next day, it was the weekend of January 4th.

"A few hours ago, there was news from the scientific community on the Internet. The National Science Foundation of North America has added an additional US$300 million in funding to the Gippthorne team's LIGO project."

Tian Jiayi came to Fang Hong in a hurry, sat down elegantly and added: "It's quite surprising. I thought that after you broke the news in advance that Ning Xingqing's team had taken the lead in detecting the first gravitational wave event, what would you think about it? The North American LIGO project caused a big blow. The biggest results were obtained first, so the funding might have been cut, but unexpectedly, the project funding was increased."

Hearing this, Fang Hong took a closer look and then smiled and said: "Ning Xingqing's team took the lead in achieving the first detection of gravitational waves. It is certain that it will have a blow to the LIGO project led by Gip Thorne, but instead it added The funding is quite interesting.”

Tian Jiayi looked at Fang Hong curiously, and the latter said to himself: "At this juncture, instead of cutting funding, we are increasing funding, which shows that people in North America want to urgently put the LIGO project into operation as soon as possible. According to this logic, naturally it is They want to detect gravitational waves as quickly as possible, so why are they doing this?”

The beautiful assistant subconsciously said: "Why?"

Fang Hong thought about it and said to himself: "The Americans across the Pacific must hate me and hate me. The source of funds for the Natural Science Foundation is Star Capital. This matter is now an open secret, so they definitely don't want to Seeing that the scientific research projects I funded can achieve great results.”

"But the 'Sky Mirror' detected the first gravitational wave event in human history. This Nobel Prize-level result will give a huge confidence boost to the scientific research projects I fund, and in turn attract more talents, which is even more That’s what they don’t want to see.”

Fang Hong turned his head and looked at the beautiful assistant and smiled: "So Europeans and Americans, especially old Americans, definitely don't want to award the Nobel Prize to Ning Xingqing's team, but this Nobel Prize-level achievement is on display. If they don't give it, it will be disrespectful to the Nobel Prize." The gold content caused a heavy blow, and everyone now recognizes the gold content of natural science awards."

"The honor of the Nobel Prize has been accumulated for hundreds of years. It is regarded as the highest honor by scientists. It also represents the right to speak in the scientific community. Australians certainly do not want this right to speak to others."

"Understand the truth behind this, and then go back and see that the National Science Foundation of North America has increased funding for the LIGO project instead of cutting it, and this matter will become clear. I guess there is a lot of tension between the American side and the Nobel Prize-winning agency. It is possible that the prize has been approved and planned to be awarded to the Ning Xingqing team and the Jeep Thorne team at the same time. In this way, the gold content of the Nobel Prize is maintained, and at the same time, the results are prevented from being monopolized by our country's scientific team. This is quite a thief. "

Tian Jiayi couldn't help but suddenly realized: "It makes sense. The motivation of the National Science Foundation of North America can be explained. Additional funding will speed up the progress, put the LIGO project into operation as soon as possible and detect gravitational waves, so that the Jeep Thorne team can be reluctantly included." Receive the award.”
