Chapter 743: Will he return with honor or failure?
Stockholm is located on the eastern coast of Sweden. It is an island group, consisting of fourteen islands and a peninsula. The islands are connected by more than 70 bridges, forming a very unique island group city, so it is known as
Known as the "Venice of the North", the large seaside city in the famous animated film "Kiki's Delivery Service" directed by Hayao Miyazaki was based on Stockholm.
Stockholm is the birthplace of the chemist Nobel. It is a famous historical and cultural city. The city's buildings are full of clever design, and the streets and alleys are filled with moving music. The world-renowned Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is here, and it comes here every year to attend
The Nobel Prize Ceremony of academic figures and their relatives has also become a unique cultural feature of Stockholm.
When Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun set foot on Stockholm again, they felt quite emotional when they looked at the vaguely impressive scenery.
Two years ago, they came here together to receive the Crafford Award. It was also the end of February and the beginning of March. Now they set foot on this land again at the same time, and time seems to have gone through reincarnation.
It's just that the academic status and reputation of the two people today have been greatly improved compared to two years ago. The relationship between the two people has also been upgraded from a close boyfriend to a loving couple.
It is still winter in Stockholm at this time, with the temperature around minus 5 degrees Celsius. Although it has not snowed for a while, you can still see snow that has not completely melted in the city.
"It's been a long time since I went abroad." Ning Qingyun's tone was filled with emotion. The greater the achievement, the higher the status, but the less freedom.
"Since I hurriedly flew to Germany to meet Professor Coppet in August last year, I really haven't been abroad again. I only went abroad once last year." Qin Ke patted the human skin hidden in his backpack.
The mask and passport boxes were in the box, and he smiled and said: "Thanks to them, we will have many more opportunities to go abroad in the future. In addition to taking wedding photos at home, this time we can also take an extra set of wedding photos abroad together."
Xia Guo's technology in some fields cannot be underestimated. At least the small box containing the human skin mask and passport is specially made. It has double layers. The upper layer contains some documents and information, and the lower layer contains the human skin mask and corresponding documents.
Identity passport.
The most amazing thing about this box is that even through the X-ray during security check, you can only "see" that it contains a thick stack of documents, but you can't see what's in the lower layer.
Qin Ke has analyzed that this small box alone involves extremely sophisticated material science technology. It can at least reflect specific patterns according to the loopholes in the x-ray inspection equipment, causing the x-ray inspection equipment to form an incorrect perspective - this is
It should be considered a very advanced technology internationally.
Sure enough, the Xia Kingdom has no shortage of outstanding scientists, but such scientists rarely focus on academic or civilian fields, and more often engage in closed, high-tech research, just like Ning Qingyun's parents.
With such a human skin mask and passport, Qin Ke can take Ning Qingyun to travel abroad happily whenever he has time, without having to worry about the danger of being recognized.
"Yeah." Ning Qingyun nodded shyly and sweetly. Originally, she only had a vague idea. She likes to be quiet rather than active. It doesn't matter whether she goes abroad or not. Moreover, her family background also determines that she cannot be like ordinary people.
Being able to go abroad freely like that, now that I have a human skin mask and a new passport, I can go abroad with Qin Ke to take wedding photos.
The wedding date of the two was set for July this year. This was decided after discussions between Qin Ke's grandfather Shen Tieshan, Mr. Ning Jingguang, and Mrs. Chu Mimei. It is not known how they found the "auspicious date". Qin
The two of them didn't have any objections. It happened to be that the university was on summer vacation at that time, and they were both in Yuanzhou, so it was the most suitable.
After the wedding date was set, the wedding photo shoot was about to be decided. Considering that April is mainly busy with the recruitment of graduate students and doctoral students, the two of them arranged the wedding photo shoot in late March, tentatively in China.
One day of shooting and five days abroad. The domestic wedding photos were taken at a photo studio in Beijing, while the overseas photos were taken at the Aegean Sea. The itinerary was arranged by assistant Fang Yongtang.
Wei Jing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned back and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the two academicians on their wedding."
Wei Jing is twenty-six or seven years old this year. She is not pretty, and her facial lines are a bit too strong. However, she is tall and looks very heroic. Her personality is more cheerful and talkative than Chen Lan before, so she quickly became friends with Qin Ke.
I became familiar with Ning Qingyun.
She has a different background from Chen Ming and Chen Lan. Instead, she belongs to the same department as Chen Ya, Qin Kening Qingyun's assistant at Qingmu University. They are both secretarial security personnel. This time she also appears as a life and logistics teacher at Qingmu University.
Because Qin Ke and the other two did not bring Chen Ya with them, their superiors arranged for her to come over.
Wei Feng is an old acquaintance, but he used to be responsible for protecting Qin Ke and Qin Ke in the dark or from a relatively long distance. Now that Chen Ming has been transferred, he has taken over Chen Ming's position.
Wei Feng is the opposite of Wei Jing. He almost never speaks unless necessary, and the expression on his face is as cold as a blade. He does live up to his name - but Qin Ke knows that whether "Chen Ming", "Chen Lan", or
"Chen Ya", "Wei Feng", and "Wei Jing" are not real names, they are just pseudonyms used when performing tasks.
For example, "Chen Ming"'s real name is Cheng Qiming, and "Chen Lan"'s real name is Chen Tielan.
Along with Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun when they went abroad this time, in addition to Wei Feng and Wei Jing, there were also three administrative assistants and two life and logistics assistants who were also nominally affiliated with Qingmu University, making a total of nine people in the group.
However, Qin Ke estimated that there were at least twenty people secretly protecting him and Ning Qingyun, and if the number of peripheral personnel was included, it would be several times more.
What an exaggerated and luxurious lineup.
After leaving the airport, the two of them took Wei Feng's car and quickly arrived at the designated venue for the "Einstein Science Prize" selection meeting - the Stockholm Grand Hotel. This is an ancient hotel with a history of more than 250 years. Since 1901,
Guests attending the Nobel Prize award ceremony and their families are basically arranged to stay here. It is next to the Baltic Sea and can see beautiful sea views from the windows.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In addition to organizing the "Einstein Science Prize" selection event every year, the World Cultural Council also selects the "Einstein World Art Prize" every two years.
Stein World Education Award", this year happens to be an even-numbered year, and all three awards will be selected together, which makes the Stockholm Grand Hotel extremely lively. There are many scholars, artists, and scientists from all over the world with different skin colors.
number.
When Qin pulled Ning Qingyun and accompanied the hotel waiter to the check-in area, the receptionist Erken was very busy. Qin and Ke waited in line for nearly ten minutes before it was their turn to sign in.
formalities.
"My God, are you Professor Qin Ke and Professor Ning Qingyun from Xia State?" Erken suddenly raised his head when he saw the names on the passport in his hand.
Qin Ke was a little confused. He took off his sunglasses and said politely: "I am Qin Ke from Xia State. Is there any problem?"
Elken smiled bitterly and said, "You're finally here. Since five days ago, people have been coming every day to ask if you and your wife have arrived."
Elken is a senior director of the World Cultural Council and has been in charge of conference affairs for seven or eight years, but this is the first time he has encountered a situation like this!
Originally there were only 1,000 spectators, but more than 2,000 spectators came, making dozens of nearby hotels fully booked. Moreover, there were more than 800 new spectators, almost all of whom were world-famous mathematics masters and outstanding figures.
Professors, it is said that they all came here to listen to Professor Qin Ke’s special report. The selection event for the “Einstein Science Prize” was turned into an international conference of mathematicians.
But Elken had a headache, but he had to smile. These mathematical masters are very powerful. I don’t know how they persuaded the senior officials of the World Cultural Council. The senior officials actually agreed to the report specially for Qin Ke.
An additional 850 spectators were temporarily added, and a super-large conference room that could accommodate 2,000 spectators was specially prepared.
For this reason, the workload of Elken and several of his colleagues has doubled.
This time we finally saw the "culprit" appear, how could Elken not take a few more glances?
Qin Ke couldn't help but laugh and cry after asking for details. Fortunately, there were no acquaintances around at this time. He quickly put on his sunglasses, hurriedly completed the check-in procedures, and then "escaped" with Ning Qingyun.
Otherwise, if I am surrounded by people, my travel plans for the next two days may be ruined.
Qin Ke and his wife did not stay at the Stockholm Grand Hotel, but stayed at a hotel arranged by Wei Feng in advance a few hundred meters away.
After changing clothes and having lunch, the two of them had time to carefully read the selection meeting pamphlet in their hands, which introduced information about all the candidates.
Leaving aside the "Einstein Art Prize" and the "Einstein Education Prize", there are 50 candidates for the "Einstein Science Prize" alone. These 50 candidates will be selected in the selection process starting on March 3.
In the conference, we take turns giving one-hour reports.
The entire reporting process lasts for six days. On the seventh day, March 9, the winner of the "Einstein Science Prize" will be finally selected.
"The competition this time is so fierce." Ning Qingyun looked at the booklet in her hand and frowned, obviously feeling a lot of pressure.
In the past, when they competed for the Fields Medal, they only competed with outstanding scholars in the world of mathematics. This time, the "Einstein Science Prize" has to compete with all the outstanding scientists in the world, even if there are only five candidates.
Ten people, but how easy is it to stand out from these fifty people?
For example, Professor Hasegawa of Japan has pointed out a new direction for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease through TDP-43 and research on neurodegenerative diseases; for example, Professor Santiago Mune, a geneticist at MIT, invented
The micro "biochip" used in IVF laboratories can greatly reduce the cost of IVF and help countless people at the bottom who cannot get pregnant realize their "child dreams"; another example is Eteote Garr of the University of Cambridge in Eagle Country.
Professor Luo has achieved large-scale continuous production of fiber batteries, which will greatly promote the development of industries such as wearable devices and printed electronic products...
It can be said that none of these fifty candidates are worthy of their fame. Everyone is a top scientist in the world.
Even though Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun have research results in applied science fields such as "Computational Seedology", "Desert Sweet Potato" and "Lime Topological Superconducting Vortex State Theoretical Model System", they are not interested in participating in "Einstein" this time.
Neither of them is fully sure whether they will be able to return home from the Stein Science Prize selection meeting with great honors.
——As for world-renowned achievements such as proving the Riemann Hypothesis and Goldbach's Hypothesis, they are purely theoretical achievements in mathematics and will not be included in the selection reference for this "Einstein Science Prize".
However, Qin Ke was optimistic by nature. He smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. If we can come here and become one of the candidates, it is equivalent to reaching the level of the top fifty most outstanding scientists in the world. Think about it this way, it will be greatly improved."
confidence?"
Ning Qingyun thought so and finally smiled again.
Qin Ke stretched out his hand to rub Ning Qingyun's hair: "Let's go out for a walk first, and tomorrow we will go to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to get the certificate of foreign academician."
The selection rules for this "Einstein Science Award" are said to be based on the candidates' scientific research achievements and the performance of each candidate's special report on stage. The jury will consider the two parts comprehensively, and
Voting is conducted, so performance at the report meeting is also very important.
Qin Ke didn't want Ning Qingyun to be too nervous and affect her performance on the spot, so he decided to take Ning Qingyun out to relax first.
Anyway, the certificate is not long-lasting and won't run away on its own, so it doesn't matter if you pick it up a day or two late.
The two put on human skin masks, changed clothes, passed through a special passage, left the hotel through the back door, and then walked hand in hand through the streets of Stockholm.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Accompanying them on the trip are two young men and women in their mid-twenties. Their real names are unclear, but the name written on the passport is "Jiang Chao"
"Jiang Qi", whose external identity is a college student at Xiangjiang University, is a college classmate of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun. They met to travel to Sweden together, but they took a different flight.
Jiang Chao and Jiang Qi are also relatively ordinary-looking, not good-looking but definitely not ugly. They are fashionably dressed and they don't look like bodyguards at all. However, Qin Ke can see that they are steady in their steps. They must have been practicing martial arts for many years.
At least Qin Ke has professional-level Wing Chun skills at this time, so he may not be able to defeat these two people for sure.
Jiang Chao and Jiang Qi are very talkative, they can speak Cantonese, Mandarin, and English fluently. At this time, they and Qin Ke really looked like ordinary classmates, chatting about topics and interesting things about Xiangjiang University, which made Qin Ke and Qin Ke
I have a deeper understanding of my disguised new identity and background.
However, Jiang Chao and Jiang Qi respected Qin Ke's opinions very much and gave Qin Ke the right to arrange the itinerary.
Qin Ke thought for a while: "Let's go to the Nordic Museum first. Take the subway."
The last time they came to this city, they visited the Town Hall Square, the Skansen Museum, the Vasa Shipwreck Museum, and Queen Street. This time, time was limited, so they first made up for the Nordic Museum.
When traveling to Stockholm, there is a special experience that cannot be missed, and that is taking the subway.
Unlike ordinary subway stations that only serve transportation functions, Stockholm's subway stations are like art corridors. More than 150 artists show their creativity through various forms, such as sculptures, mosaics, installation art, prints, reliefs, etc.
The bright and eye-catching colors give people a strong visual impact, making each station praised for its unique design.
Stockholm's subway is also known as "the longest art gallery in the world".
The last time Qin Ke came here, he basically took a special car to and from various scenic spots. This time he changed his mind and there was no danger, so he decided to take a subway trip. Unexpectedly, he met an unexpected person at the entrance of the subway.
