What Luo Wenxuan was worried about did not happen.

In this kind of private setting, no one takes the ridicule between friends too seriously.

In fact, as the Secretary General of the IMCRC, his contribution has been quite remarkable.

In this regard, Lu Zhou also used a solemn tone in his speech at the official opening of the banquet, and expressed his highest gratitude to those individuals and collectives who have made outstanding contributions to IMCRC and the verification of hyperspace theory.

“…… Since the turn of the millennium, all the major achievements we have made in the field of physics have been inseparable from the power of collaboration. Without so many great people, our work would not be able to move forward, or even carry out at all. ”

"Thank you to all those who have contributed to this noble cause, whether it is tedious and complicated or seemingly trivial work, I believe that behind it there must be some value that has not yet been discovered, but must exist. And one day, whether it is tomorrow or a future farther away than tomorrow, it will be unearthed and absorbed by our civilization. ”

"Although fame and fortune are not the pursuit we devote ourselves to in this field, if there is a stone monument to commemorate this celebratory occasion, I hope that the names of all of us will be engraved on it!"

The banquet hall burst into applause.

Driven by applause, the atmosphere of the scene was pushed to a peak.

People celebrated by clinking glasses to commemorate a moment destined to go down in history.

Standing at the end of the crowd, the gray-haired Academician Lu lifted his cuffs and gently rubbed the corners of his eyes. At this time, Professor Li Rongen from the School of Physics of Jinling University walked to the side of the old man and said with a smile.

"Did you think about it?"

Seeing that it was an acquaintance, Academician Lu hurriedly put his hand down and said with a serious cough.

"What have you thought about?"

"I've thought that my students have grown to the heights they are today."

Looking at Professor Li Rongen with a smile on his face, Academician Lu was silent for a while, and suddenly sighed softly.

In a voice with some emotion, he said.

"I used to think that this kid's future development would definitely not be easy, so I tried my best to fool him to me for graduate school, but I didn't think about ......it so much."

His eyes fell on the stage, looking at the young face, a smile of relief suddenly appeared on Academician Lu's face.

"I didn't expect him to be less than thirty years old, and he had already doubled all my expectations for him in this life."

……

It's not just Academician Lu who didn't think of it, but the vast majority of people didn't think of it.

This has just won a Nobel Prize medal, and in less than half a year, another Nobel Prize-level achievement was born immediately.

And unlike other Nobel Prize-level achievements, its weight has surpassed the discovery of the Higgs particle and the Z-particle, and even surpassed the sum of the two.

It is precisely because of this that the Nobel Prize Committee has found itself in a rather awkward situation.

You said that if you were to give him this Nobel Prize, you would have taken away a physics prize last year. So many people are still lining up behind, and many people have survived themselves and haven't been in line, which is really unreasonable.

Moreover, according to the practice of the physics community, if theoretical physics won the prize last year, then this year's award must be given to condensed matter. Giving awards to theoretical physics for two years in a row is not very conventional.

But if it is not awarded to him, who dares to say that he is more qualified to win the award than hyperspace theory?

Even the Higgs particle does not dare to say this, it is more important than the theory of hyperspace.

After all, the discovery of this scalar boson only fills the loopholes of the Standard Model and saves a crumbling edifice. The discovery of hyperspace theory is equivalent to directly refreshing people's understanding of the high-dimensional world and the concept of space-time in the universe.

Taking advantage of this particular physical property, there is even hope that human beings can achieve the reality of superluminal speed in a low-speed state for matter with mass.

To say that it is groundbreaking is quite a humble statement.

However, Lu Zhou did not embarrass the Nobel Prize judges.

In a media interview after the banquet, when a BBC reporter handed him the microphone and asked him whether the theory of hyperspace would bring him the second Nobel Prize in physics in his life, Lu Zhou answered the question in a serious tone without much thought.

"It would be better to leave the nine million crowns of prize money and medals to those who need it more, without thinking about me, in fact I don't need any more accolades to prove anything."

When these words were spoken, the reporters around him suddenly heard a voice of surprise.

The BBC reporter who asked the question earlier thought he had misheard and couldn't help but ask.

"Are you serious? You know, the Nobel committee judges might have seen the news, and if there was any misunderstanding about it, it might be—"

"Do you think I'm a joker?"

Facing the microphones and cameras of countless interviews, Lu Zhou smiled faintly and continued, "Of course I am serious, and I very much hope that they can consider some outstanding young people more, and their research results need to be recognized and sponsored." In fact, if they're not going to do it, I'd consider setting up an award of my own to do it. ”

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly boiled.

If this sentence is said by someone else, it will sound a little arrogant.

But when it came out of Lu Zhou's mouth, no one would think he was arrogant, and even thought that he was too modest.

If he hopes to compete for the next Nobel Prize, there is almost no suspense, and the Nolbe Prize Committee will award him the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics.

After all, this is a discovery that will change the course of human history, and no theory has been outstanding to this extent since the theory of relativity.

But now, after Lu Zhou made such a "declaration of abstention", the selection committee in charge of the award can at least lose a few hairs.

If Lu Zhou does not participate in the selection, Wei Hong and Professor David Davick, who have come up with the "gravitational wave formula for Z particles", will undoubtedly be the favorite candidates for the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics, and they are most likely to share the 9 million crowns equally among them.

After all, the importance of this formula was personally recognized by Lu Zhou, and the conclusions in that paper also appeared in the form of quotations in Lu Zhou's paper on "hyperspace theory".

If it is not possible to award the "hyperspace theory itself", the award for other work in this direction is also an indirect recognition.

The only pity is Senior Brother Luo.

If he had joined the research project earlier, he might have had a share of the 9 million kroner prize money.

But unfortunately, he joined too late, and almost before he had time to make any particularly significant research results, he watched as the potential of the entire research direction was dug up by someone on his own.

And when the reporters at the scene and the physicists who were watching nearby were all shocked by Lu Zhou's generous speech, the relevant news flew all over the world along the network cable like wings.

And it was passed on and on, and it was changed......
