1928, Kunming

When Mao Yun first held the two letters in Chinese and English in his hands, he was slightly startled. They were actually letters sent from Sweden. The sender was the Nobel Prize Review Committee. The recipient of one letter was the Southwest Government, and the other two

The letter was entrusted to the Southwest "Government" to be forwarded to Southwest medical scientist Mr. Zou Shuming and Southwest biologist Mr. Zhou Zikai.

"Eh? Nobel Prize in Biology and Medicine? Did Zou Shuming and Zhou Zikai win?"

When Zhang Shusheng got the letter, he couldn't help but smile heartily. Unexpectedly, the Swedes actually sent award notices to Zou Shuming and Zhou Zikai, inviting them to go to Sweden to attend the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden.

Award ceremony held.[

In his memory, wasn't the Nobel Prize supposed to first accept letters from around the world, require nominees, and then announce the results in October? It seems that these old-fashioned Western old men also have exceptions. Perhaps, they think

This is a historical breakthrough, because finally there is what some people call

The "Sick Man of East Asia" is eligible for the award. After all, not everyone is racist, and not every Westerner does not want to see the rise of other ethnic groups in science. Therefore, they made an exception and notified them in advance in May.

These two scholars from Eastern countries are far away in the East and have never had any contact with the Nobel Prize.

The reason for the award is that Zou Shuming and Zhou Zikai made a huge contribution to the discovery of penicillin and played a leading role in applying this drug to clinical treatment. After the Nobel Prize in Medicine

With the unanimous approval of the evaluation committee, Zou Shuming and Zhou Zikai won the 1928 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

"Xian Yun, what do you think about this matter?" Zhang Shusheng handed the opened letter to Mao Yunxian and motioned for him to take a look and tell him his opinion.

"Commander, my opinion is quite contradictory." After reading it, Mao Yun smiled, closed the letter, and spoke his thoughts slowly, "The Nobel Prize is a global scientific award after all. If

It's a happy event, and it makes sense. After all, this is the first time we have won an award. However, we Chinese people are relatively conservative in thinking. Some conservative social idlers may have trouble with a Chinese scientist going abroad to receive the award.

The criticism."

"In fact, any major invention or discovery will not be limited to one country. Sooner or later, it will make a huge contribution to the entire world. The fact that Zou Shuming and Zhou Zikai won the award also proves that our modern medicines represented by penicillin

, it has received international recognition. Please make arrangements and I will go to the biological and medical base to have a look."

Zhang Shusheng waved his hand and asked whether he would accept the Nobel Prize. He personally would not force anyone to do so. Although he was the person behind the discovery of penicillin, Zou Shuming and Zhou Zikai did make many significant contributions.

For example, Zou Shuming, after completing the industrial production of penicillin, devoted himself to the research and production preparation of as many as a dozen new drugs, making an absolutely indelible contribution to the development of medicine in Southwest China. Zhang Shusheng

After all, he is not a medical genius,

Leading people in, development depends on the individual. Zou Shuming got the opportunity to discover penicillin, but it gave him great confidence. This genius who graduated from Harvard Medical School was out of control and completed the principles of many new "drugs"

Work on analysis and scaled production.

Zhou Zikai, on the other hand, had a harder time. Zhang Shusheng’s earliest hybrid rice technology was handed over to him through insinuations. Later, this outstanding genetic biologist who graduated from Yale University’s biological genetics not only perfected a series of hybrid rice theories.

He cultivated new species and, together with Zou Shuming, completed the research and large-scale production of quite a number of new drugs, including penicillin.

However, it is a pity that although the widespread use of hybrid rice has caused huge repercussions in Southwest China, it has had relatively little impact on the international community. This is mainly because many Western countries have not done much research on rice as a crop.

Fewer, hearsay, from some Westerners who have returned to China, they only heard that the crops in the southwest are good. After one or two seasons of planting, every household will have no worries about food. Most people just laugh after hearing this. Occasionally, some scholars know that

I didn't have a chance to take a look at this matter. After all, the impact caused by rice is far less than the sales of penicillin in the West.

In Zhang Shusheng's personal opinion, Zhou Zikai should be the first Chinese in Southwest China to be eligible to win the Nobel Prize. However, his fate seemed unfair, but he was compensated with Zou Shuming in terms of penicillin.

The southwest government's biological and medical base is built in a science and technology park. Biology, genetics, cutting-edge medicine, theoretical pharmacy, many disciplines intersect here. For example, Zhou Zikai is mainly responsible for research

Plant genetics and human genetics, but he can also provide assistance to Zou Shuming in the field of pharmacy when researching new drugs. The intersection of various disciplines also maximizes the use of scientific and technological talent resources.

"...In the history of the development of genetics, Mendel first proposed that biological traits are controlled by genetic factors. In our research on genetic phenomena including animals, plants and humans, we found that this genetic factor is

A kind of biological code, which plays a role in ensuring the inheritance of common biological characteristics when the species is inherited. To put it simply, the fruit produced on the apple tree can only be apples, not oranges, for the time being. This is the genetic factor

Role of n

Substance, conduct some preliminary research, I hope you can study hard, and you may become scholars at the forefront of genetics in the future..."

Zhou Zikai and Zou Shuming both have teaching duties at Southwest University, and they don’t have many classes, just two classes per week. Zhou Zikai’s class is genetic biology, and Zou Shuming’s class is basic medicine.

When he finished class, he saw Zou Shuming waiting for him, and a car from the base was parked next to him, seemingly coming to pick up the two of them.

"Old Zou, you are using your privileges today." Zhou Zikai knew Zou Shuming's character well. The two had worked together for many years. Although he knew that the other party did not use official cars for personal use, he still teased him and asked for his Yunnan brand bicycle.

Turn over and ride up.

"Zikai, the general manager is waiting for us at the base. Please don't ride today."

"Okay, I'll park the car. Why does the commander have time to go to the base and wait for us two ordinary people?"

When the two of them returned to the base in the same car, they saw Zhang Shusheng, who was wearing a white dust-proof suit, checking the dazzling array of new seedlings in the special greenhouse. They both waited silently outside.

"Shu Ming, Zikai, come over and walk together."[

Zhang Shusheng straightened up in front of a tomato plant, saw two people outside the greenhouse, and asked them to come in and walk around together.

"How effective are these vegetables in freezing resistance? Can they be planted in winter?"

"The anti-freeze effect is not ideal yet. We are conducting some experiments and strive to come up with several varieties next year."

After casually walking around and chatting about these crops that are related to farmers and society's food problems, Zhang Shusheng got down to business, "This time I'm not just here to hang out, I have brought you good news. Nobel Prize Committee

The letters have been sent to the joint treatment 'government'. The two of you won this year's Nobel Prize in Biology for discovering and applying penicillin to clinical practice."

"Nobel Prize?"

When the two of them heard this, their hearts skipped a beat. This award has been awarded in the West for decades. As scientists, they knew very well what it meant. It was not that they needed anyone to recognize their research, but that once

If you win the prize, no matter who you are, you will instantly become a world-famous scientist.

Whether at Harvard Medical School or Yale University, Zou Shuming and Zhou Zikai have heard too many stories about this award. Many people have been engaged in scientific research for a lifetime but cannot win this award. Even their mentors at the time did not have this award.

Qualifications. As for Nobel Prize winners, they have seen them before. They are indeed very old, highly respected old scholars and professors.

How talented are the two of you? Zhou Zikai is slightly older, only 36 years old, and Zou Shuming is only 33 years old. To receive the award at their age, they are really not qualified enough.

"From our Chinese point of view, everything depends on qualifications. Maybe your qualifications in the world's scientific community are not enough, but your scientific research activities have truly changed the world. Whether it is penicillin or new hybrid species,

It is an achievement that is enough to cause revolutionary progress in science. As for this award, my personal opinion is that I respect your wishes. If you go ahead, I will definitely support it."

Zhang Shusheng is indeed an enlightened man. Perhaps many years ago, when China's scientific and technological level far exceeds that of other countries in the world, he will establish a science award that far exceeds the influence of the Nobel Prize. But today, the Nobel Prize is more important to the Chinese people.

an affirmation.

Didn’t Little Japan say that the Chinese are the sick men of East Asia? I sent a delegation of hundreds of people to participate in the Olympic Games. The Amsterdam Olympics will be held on May 17 this year. I will let the Japanese and those Westerners who despise the Chinese

Let’s see if the Chinese are the sick men of East Asia. Who is the sick man of East Asia?

Don’t Westerners say that China has no modern science and no impressive science awards? I’ll let them receive the award and let you see, even if it’s the Nobel Prize you care about most, we Chinese can still win it. Not that I care.

Your broken prize is mainly because you care about him. This time I asked two people to receive the award. Next time I ask you not to award the physics prize, biology prize, and chemistry prize to the Chinese people, you will feel guilty.

Not fair enough.

"Chief, in fact, the discovery and application of penicillin are not entirely due to us. Other people also contributed a lot to the key information you gave us."

It’s not that Zou Shuming is modest. Outsiders don’t know it. He is very aware of how many scientific talents there are in Southwest China. Compared with China back then, Southwest China is now very different. Scientific talents and science geeks from all over the world are frustrated.

Old men, young and middle-aged people all came here either for their ideals or for high wages. And even among the Chinese, a considerable number of overseas students and overseas Chinese have returned.

Zou Shuming has been working in the laboratory for a long time and does not know how many high-level scientists like Einstein and Tesla there are, but he knows that judging from the advanced scientific materials he occasionally obtains, there are definitely many in the Southwest.

Hidden dragons and crouching tigers. It’s just that the general manager is too low-key and has strict management. Many things are top secrets among secrets.

Zhang Shusheng shook his head and rejected his idea, "Shu Ming, Zikai. Your idea is wrong. There are some things where someone is destined to stand up and accept the honor. And some people are destined to work behind the scenes. This is

The Nobel Prize is determined by different divisions of labor. I personally don’t value it very much. It is at best an award in the scientific community. It’s just that Westerners value it very much. In this case, why don’t we win it and let outsiders win it the most?

Having the things you value in your pocket actually defeats outsiders. Maybe those classmates who looked down on you in the past, those tutors who looked down on you in the past, and those Westerners who didn't take the Chinese in their eyes in the past can't help it this time.

Do not admit defeat. Because the weak in their eyes will stand on the stage this time, while they can only sit in the audience as listeners. This is your victory, it will also be the victory of Southwest and the entire China.

"

"In this case, let's follow the chief's arrangement." Zou Shuming and Zhou Zikai were not saints. They considered many factors and agreed.

Zhang Shusheng left with satisfaction. He had long wanted to let some people enjoy honors, while others were destined to never have honors. This was indeed caused by the different division of labor. The scientific boys he had trained since childhood would be like this.

Category 1. Zou Shuming and Zhou Zikai both studied abroad from China. No one would believe them if they were not geniuses. Originally, their birth names were

, maybe it’s just because they don’t have the opportunity to display their talents. Now that they have won the award, they may have been lucky, but it is still the result of their efforts, and their current theoretical literacy and scientific research level have surpassed their domestic counterparts in the same field.

It is foreseeable that after the two of them, more scientific masters will emerge from the southwest and from all over China.

The experience of later generations told me that it was not that the Chinese could not win the Nobel Prize, but that many special reasons led to embarrassing results for later generations, but I could change that embarrassment.

I want to win the Nobel Prize. I will not give up the Olympic medal either.

Not because I value it, but because those damn enemies value it. Taking away what they regard as their own is the most satisfying thing.

"Xian Yun, does Section Chief Li have a telegram to send back?"[

Back in the office, Zhang Shusheng remembered what had just happened about the Olympic Games. The Olympic Games will be held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Zhang Shusheng easily obtained the organizing rights from the All-China Sports Association, using Song Ruhai from the association as far away as the United States as his name.

The leader of the team, Li Zongren, chief of the Western European Affairs Section of the Southwest Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is the deputy captain.

The selection of team members is also relatively simple. More than 50 outstanding team members were directly selected from the Longya Special Forces Force, the Tiger Special Forces Force and the Reserve Special Forces Brigade, and underwent a year-long targeted training. These have already undergone the most rigorous training.

Soldiers who are trained very hard also work very hard when training in sports events. The biggest regret is that the shooting event has been cancelled, but in the 100-meter run, triple jump, 200-meter breaststroke, high jump, bicycle and other events, Zhang Shusheng has performed well with
