Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

"Houston, didn't you go to lunch?"

"I brought something." Houston smiled, but the smile on his face was not much.

"A little nervous?" His Swedish colleague used an obviously teasing tone, which is rare among Swedes.

Houston finally realized the difference, turned around, and said, "Hosen, is there anything I should know?"

"I also heard the news by accident." Huo Sen made a disclaimer first.

Houston is a person who has been in contact with scientists all the year round. As soon as he heard Huo Sen hesitating, he knew that there was a situation. These guys, including himself, were not people who would hide their hearts.

"Hosen, what I need most now is news." Houston looked at the tall Swedish colleague and said, "I owe you a favor."

Standard sentences in American movies, but Huo Sen likes this one very much.

After a little hesitation, Huo Sen said: "They have encountered a deadlock."

"They? Who?" Houston wasn't sure.

Huo Sen smiled: "Who else can it be, the Nobel Prize Committee."

"Biological?" Houston was taken aback, his brain spinning uncontrollably.

His hands trembled slightly, as if his ancestors encountered a powerful hunter millions of years ago.

As a Swede, a Swedish scientist, and a very aggressive Swedish scientist in the matter of the Nobel Prizes, Houston was extremely sensitive to any relevant issues.

For example, deadlock.

Houston couldn't even tell whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

In fact, few people can use this to make accurate judgments.

There are many instances where the Nobel Prize Committee has been deadlocked. It takes a long time for a committee of five members to vote on a scholar, and the result of the vote does not always produce a winner—those who abstain and oppose,

Endless.

Recommended, approved, abandoned... the five-member Nobel Prize Committee, the drama that happens every year is enough to make blockbuster movies for several years.

Even after passing through the five-member committee, the large deliberation group of the Swedish Academy of Sciences will not make things easier.

They always like scientists who overrule the committee's choice.

This multi-person committee is mainly composed of members of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. For example, the Physics Prize is composed of academicians of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. This can explain why Bohr was able to cover the sky with one hand. With him in the Academy, almost Will veto any scientist who doesn't agree with him. It's not entirely out of selfishness, but it is conceivable that if you are biased against quantum theory, you will definitely encounter many obstacles if you want to win the Nobel Prize.

Of course, the world's top scholars native to Sweden like Bohr are a minority after all. As long as scientists from the three countries in Ruidan and the three countries can live for a long time, the scientists of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences can still do things impartially.

Here, impartiality basically means that I only recognize scientists that I recognize.

So here comes the question, will the scientists sent by the Committee of Five please everyone? Of course not.

The Academy of Sciences in any country is the epitome of the world's scientific research community. If someone agrees with one theory, someone agrees with another theory.

It is very rare that a theory emerges and then everyone worships it. Even in the field of mathematics, where Huashan is the most likely to appear, it is difficult for someone to surpass the dust-it is not true that there are no outstanding people, but , other people just don't recognize your excellence, so what should you do?

Even if the mathematical attainments are so high that you have proved a super-powerful formula, and the proof can take hundreds of pages, people just don't read it, so what can you do.

There are also many problems in the field of natural science, such as Darwin's theory of evolution, which stirred up discussions in half the European continent, and finally defeated Lamarck's "use it or lose it", which can be called the battle of the century. However, the times A hundred years later, who would have thought that the latest biological research would pull out the abyss of use and waste through "acquired inheritance".

Sometimes it is very difficult to completely bury academic figures in the academic world in an academic way.

However, we can not give him an award!

The joy of being a Swedish scientist lies in this. If your level is sufficient and you can improve to the level of entering the Academy of Sciences, or enter the Katherine Medical College, you will determine the Nobel Prize to some extent.

Even if it is not a member of the five-member committee, the Grand Council of the Royal Academy of Sciences still has great power. They are more like a jury, and they cannot simply vote to end the dispute.

However, most of the time, the scientists of the Royal Academy of Sciences are not monolithic.

Someone once said excitedly to a friend: "We murdered each other's candidates."

In Houston's familiar template, a small number of stalemates prove that there are many supporters in the Grand Council, and at least one-third of the support is required to constitute a stalemate. However, most standoffs result in candidates being killed.

If there is a dispute, it cannot be selected, even if it is the theory of relativity.

The more critical issue is that Houston doesn't even know whether Yang Rui is in a stalemate or out of the stalemate.

If he is in a stalemate, he will be worried, and if he is outside the stalemate, he will be even more worried... There is only one Nobel Prize, and once the stalemate is broken, it will be the end of the day.

"Do you know the specifics?" Houston asked Hosen hopelessly.

Huo Sen really shook his head.

"Okay." Houston was a little depressed: "Thank you anyway, at least there is one news."

"It's not easy for you to know the news, so you don't have to be polite." Huo Sen sold it out before leaving.

He actually came here on purpose. Although his colleagues in the school were not optimistic about Houston's move towards the Nobel Prize Committee, it is undeniable that no one can stop Houston's pace.

Because as far as he knows, Yang Rui has actually entered the final list, which means that Houston's influence in the Nobel Prize Committee will also be improved.

Huo Sen even guessed that the stalemate might be related to Yang Rui.

However, regarding this news, Huo Sen was not going to tell Houston directly. Anyway, he had to find someone to verify it, so why bother.

The Swedish way of selling is also very Swedish.

Houston hurried out the door, hailed a taxi, and said, "Go to Katherine Medical College."

Although the members of the Nobel review committee are sworn to keep it secret, the reality is that the members of the committee are still providing some useful information to their friends, such as who is at the top and who is lagging behind.

The reason for this is that they need their own information network to build friendship and contact with the international academic community.

As Crawford puts it: "The ability to intelligently exchange the gossip secrets of the Nobel Prize is an important criterion".

Houston was there for an insightful exchange of gossip.

At the same time, he can also provide more information about Yang Rui to his source of information to help the other party confirm his choice.

In other words, Houston is now the information network of a member of a judging committee. Everyone gets what they need, and completes this extremely important work to the public in a way that is unknown to the public.

To put it bluntly, the significance of the Nobel Prize in any year to the whole society and all mankind is more than the value of a lifetime of everyone in a small city.

In terms of PCR alone, whether it can win an award represents the promotion of PCR, and the promotion of PCR directly determines the development of genetics.

Looking at the next thirty years, all Chinese born in the 10s and Europeans and Americans born in the 2000s will benefit from PCR technology. If it goes a little further, PCR can directly determine the life and death of millions of babies, tens of millions The health of 100,000 babies, and the severity of genetic diseases of hundreds of millions of babies.

As for the development of forensic science driven by this, the difficulty of the paternity test of the junior high school, etc., are not included.

If it is a G protein-coupled receptor, its radiation surface may not be as extensive as that of PCR, but the impact is more direct and intuitive. In at most 15 years, diseases such as AIDS, benign prostatic hyperplasia, schizophrenia and senile dementia will benefit greatly from it, and more and more profound impacts will continue in the next fifty or sixty years, or even one hundred year comes into play.

However, for people living today, the G protein-coupled receptors that won the Nobel Prize may be widely used in the next 10 years, otherwise, the time may be extended to 20 years or even longer. The 10 years that fall on the pen may be just 3650 days plus a leap month and leap day, but fall on the patient, it is the difference between life and death, happiness and pain.

To put it bluntly, 10 years is almost the time difference between the promotion of a new drug and letting ordinary people know whether G protein-coupled receptors can win the Nobel Prize until the end of the patent period, that is, whether the poor can Time difference in affordability of medicines.

The world always works in its own way, and never cares about the impact on ants like humans.

Human beings are always strong, fighting in their own way at the cost of life and pain.

"Please drive faster." Houston patted the front seat. He is not qualified to promote or change the results of the Nobel Prize, but even ants, when faced with fate, are also qualified to choose to fight, even if it is a meaningless fight.

"Are you a scientist? This year's Katherine School of Medicine's awards are a bit slow." The taxi driver chatted familiarly.

Swedes don't chat, but taxi drivers all over the world seem to be of another race, even in Sweden, they can chat.

At this time, the most important thing in Sweden is naturally the selection of the Nobel Prize.

The taxi driver looked at Houston in the rearview mirror with concern.

No matter how anxious Houston was, there was nothing he could do. He coughed and said, "I do scientific research."

The taxi driver looked as if he had expected you, and said with a smile, "It's time for the Nobel Prize to come out. In previous years, the results would come out on the 3rd day. Today is the 4th day."

"I know."

"You have to rush them."

"I have to be able to urge it." Houston had no choice.

"Not only did the biological ones not come out, but the chemical ones didn't come out either. If you know who they are, remember to remind them that you don't have enough time." The taxi driver seemed to be joking, but in fact he was very serious.

"Chemistry didn't come out yet?" Houston thought of a possibility, and suddenly thin sweat protruded from his forehead.
