Enter the Immortal Cultivation

Wang Qi had heard of an urban legend in his previous life. It is said that starting from October every year, a group of respected old professors in the United States/Western Europe will begin to have symptoms of irritability, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and depression. Depending on the subject, this mysterious phenomenon will continue until 11:30 on the 3rd of October (biology or medicine), 11:45 on the 4th (physics), 11:45 on the 5th (chemistry), or 11:00 on the 10th (economics and some applied mathematics) Stockholm time, and recur in the second year.

The reason... After all, "highly respected" is almost synonymous with "old age".

And the Nobel Prize is not awarded to the dead. Even if you have been selected before the announcement, as long as you die unexpectedly before 11:30 on the 3rd, 11:45 on the 4th, 11:45 on the 5th, or 11:00 on the 10th Stockholm time, then... I'm sorry.

The old professors can't wait for a few years.

Of course, this has not happened yet. But the rules are like this.

This may be a joke, but of course it is also possible that this phenomenon does exist.

A small group of scholars, with the purest aesthetic pursuit and love, have promoted the development of science. But at the same time, this small group of people does not mind gaining some fame and fortune along the way.

It is better to say that this is human nature.

If the "academic" circle and the "scientific research community" are compared to a large online game, then the Nobel Prize is like an achievement. This achievement can only be obtained in a copy called "Swedish Academic Circle". And in this game, it takes rare props to upgrade from level 89 to level 90. The "Sweden" copy is also one of the few copies that drop such props.

Professional players at level 89 may indeed use micro-manipulation, awareness, and luck to defeat players over level 90. However, if they do not enter the threshold of level 90, then those copies marked "above level 90" will not be able to enter, and the drops of those top copies will naturally not be obtained.

A louder reputation, a wider network of people, and of course, more funds.

The dungeon boss "Nobel" is indeed one of the best ways to upgrade from level 89 to level 90.

As for the big guys with full orange equipment, it is another realm.

Einstein has many achievements in his life, but the one that won him the Nobel Prize was the most inconspicuous "photoelectric effect".

And Yang Zhenning, who was harmed by gossip, also won the Nobel Prize for the most inconspicuous work in his life.

The big guys with full orange equipment don't mind lighting up an extra icon in their achievement column.

Although they no longer need such a medal to prove themselves, it's not bad to have more collections, right?

In fact, giving awards to these big guys is not just about serving tea to them.

As the "most authoritative" award, the Nobel Prize naturally needs to give the medal and prize money to the most awesome people.

Now, everyone with a discerning eye knows who is the world's number one and who is the industry leader, but the Nobel Prize does not award him, which is also a challenge to the prestige of the Nobel Prize itself.

But for level 89 players, this non-essential demand of the big guys has undoubtedly reduced the gaming experience.

The Nobel Prize produces three to five winners every year. And the scholars waiting to win the prize are several times more than the winners.

This is actually a game of "who lives longer". In this game, the earlier you start queuing, the more advantages you have.

Mr. Wolfgang Pauli won the Nobel Prize in 1945, but the achievement he won was the incompatibility theorem he completed in 1925.

This is the case with the Nobel Prize, and the highest awards such as the Fields Medal and the Wolf Prize are also the same.

In Shenzhou, monks have a long life span, and those who are making progress are not only those of "one era", but also many monks of "previous eras".

The number of free monks and potential free monks is so terrible.

Of course, having said that, "the highest achievement of life is the Nobel Prize", "gaining higher reputation and more funds through the Nobel Prize to do more research" and "walking on the road and seeing a copy, I went in and hacked around, oh, I got an achievement", are actually three different realms.

In this world, it is "the last step of Nirvana", "the free and easy who spent hundreds of years polishing himself to get promoted" and "the free and easy who achieved immortality within a hundred years".

To repeat, it is not to say that those free and easy who practice slowly are bad, but that they are special individuals who achieve immortality within a hundred years.

If it were a human ancient method cultivator, it would be a blessing to be able to cultivate into a Yuanying in five hundred years.

Every cultivator stuck in the Nirvana period, on Earth, could be a famous scholar in a certain branch of the field.

Of course, on Earth, research funds are in the hands of power and capital, and the work of allocating funds is often done by politicians and businessmen. Scientists must have a sign that "laymen can understand" to prove themselves.

But the Shenzhou cultivators do not have this sense of urgency.

Of course, this does not mean that "the peer has won the Nobel Prize" is a hard standard for the proof of freedom.

Rather, it is said that the "Nobel Prize" itself is not an absolutely clear standard.

This does not mean that the Nobel Prize is of low value. In fact, whether in terms of professionalism or authority, the Nobel Prize is the highest award in the academic world on Earth.

But this does not mean that the Nobel Prize can be absolutely "fair".

As the old saying goes, "there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts", but even sports events that should be "no second" can be full of black whistles, so how can the Nobel Prize be absolutely fair?

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Royal Swedish Karolinska Institute decide the Nobel Prize. Perhaps in order to maintain the authority of the Nobel Prize, these scholars will try to make objective evaluations. But the preferences of these scholars will eventually influence the final winner of the Nobel Prize.

Let's put it this way, now Wanfamen is going to award an award, and there are five judges, four of whom are inclined to the formalism of the Goting School, which is the Li Sect, and one is inclined to the intuitionism of the Shaoli School, which is the Lian Sect. And among the candidates, there happens to be one Lian Sect and one Li Sect. The achievements of the two candidates are almost the same.

So who can win the award at this time?

And apart from the disputes between schools, the Nobel Prize still has some... not so fair aspects.

Before World War II, the Nobel Prize had several big mistakes [such as the infamous "frontal lobotomy\
