I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 739 The Wolf Award for Agriculture and the Coming Farewell
The Wolf Prize is an award established by German chemical scientist Ricardo Wolf.

Wolf became a famous rich man because he developed a method of recovering iron from smelting waste. Before his death, he imitated Nobel and donated most of his assets. In 1978, he established the Wolf Foundation The Wolf Prize is established and administered by the Foundation.

The purpose of the Wolf Prize is to promote the development of science and art all over the world, so it includes nine awards in mathematics, physics, chemistry, medicine, agronomy, painting, sculpture, music and architecture.

These nine Wolf Prizes are awarded once a year, and each award is usually awarded to one to three people. The total prize money for each award is US$10, which is equally distributed by the winners.

Among them, the Wolf Prize in Mathematics is one of the highest honors in the international mathematics community. It is at the same level as the Fields Medal and the Abel Prize. They are both known as the "Nobel Prize in Mathematics". The big top award "FWA" - "F (Fields) + W (Wolf) + A (Abel)", the Chern Award of IMU has also risen rapidly recently, and it is almost comparable to these three awards.

The Fields Medal is only awarded to young mathematicians under the age of 60. The Abel Prize, the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, and the Chern Prize have no age restrictions on the winners, but because of the nature of the Lifetime Achievement Award, the winners are required to Not only have profound attainments and contributions in a certain branch of mathematics, but also are erudite and versatile, involved in multiple branches and achieved outstanding results, and have formed their own famous school, so they are often not awarded to young mathematicians, basically only awarded For the old mathematicians with fruitful achievements, high morals and famous reputation, the winners are mainly between 90 and [-] years old.

Therefore, the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, the Abel Prize, and the Shiing-shen Chern Prize are all called "Grandfather Prizes."

Among mathematicians of Xia nationality, only Mr. Chern Shiingshen and Mr. Qiu have won this award, while no mathematician of Xia nationality has yet won this award.

If Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun can win the Wolf Prize in Mathematics in their early 20s, it will definitely be a new record that will cause a sensation in the world, and its influence will be greater than that of the two winning the Fields Medal.

Although the two of them haven't cracked any world conjectures in the past year, the results they have achieved before are fruitful enough. Judging from their academic achievements, it's not like they have no chance of winning the Wolf Prize in Mathematics...

Even if it is not the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, it is very good to win the Wolf Prize in Physics.The Wolf Prize in Physics is often considered to be one of the most important prizes in the field of physics other than the Nobel Prize in Physics. To win the Wolf Prize in Physics is undoubtedly a big step closer to the Nobel Prize in Physics step.

So I was already a little numb to winning the award, as calm as Qin Kening and Qingyun. At this time, when I heard the Wolf Foundation call to inform me that I had won the award, my heart beat faster and my palms sweated.

Will it be the Wolf Prize in Mathematics or the Wolf Prize in Physics?

To Qin Ke's and Ning Qingyun's surprise, the award Vice President Gu Bojun said next was not the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, but——

"The two of you have won this year's Wolf Award for Agriculture, congratulations!"

The excitement in Gu Bojun's voice could not be concealed. Although it is not the mathematics award and the physics award, the agricultural award is still very remarkable.Because the Nobel Prize does not have an award in agriculture or botany, the Wolf Award in Agriculture can be said to be one of the most important awards in agriculture recognized in the world. honorary award.

In the history of Xia Kingdom, only Mr. Yang and Mr. Yuan who have won the Wolf Award for Agriculture have passed away.Mr. Yang may not be familiar to many people, but Mr. Yuan, who created "hybrid rice" and has countless living people, is known to everyone.

The fact that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun can win this award means that their status and reputation in the field of international botany, especially the field of seed science, can already catch up with Yuan Lao!

"The Wolf Foundation believes that the two of you have created 'computational seed science' and developed the perfect desert sweet potato, which has played a huge role in solving the food crisis and promoting food development. The award goes to you both."

Compared with the election of Qin and Ke as academicians, it is of course more congratulatory to receive the Wolf Award in Agriculture.

Although Qingmu University has never been good at agronomy, the Department of Biology can be regarded as the top level in China. Next, it plans to further deepen research in the subdivision of botany——plant DNA research to become bigger and stronger. Can Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun get Receiving the Wolf Award in Agriculture will make Qingmu University's progress more stable and practical.

Qingmu University also plans to hire Qin Ke to teach in the Department of Biology in the next new semester to guide the teaching of plant DNA.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Although they failed to win the Wolf Prize in Mathematics and Physics, they won the Wolf Prize in Agriculture. In the east corner, harvest the mulberry elm", which is enough to make the two people pleasantly surprised.

"Thank you, Uncle Gu!"

Vice President Gu Bojun smiled happily and said: "The award ceremony will be held in Jerusalem next month. You two are going abroad to participate in the Einstein Science Award selection conference held in Sweden. You can stop by to receive the Wolf Award. The country is still I really hope that you will win these two awards, which will be of great benefit to the further promotion of desert sweet potatoes around the world."

Now after several months of in-depth research on "computational seed science", especially after the relevant tutorials have been published and circulated in the world of biology and botany, the existence and significance of "computational seed science" in various countries in the world, With a deeper and deeper understanding, the voices that basically jumped out to oppose or criticize without thinking have disappeared.And now more than [-] countries in the world have introduced perfect desert sweet potatoes to Xiaguo, but most of them are from African countries, and the developed countries basically still hold a wait-and-see attitude.

After Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun won the Wolf Award for Agriculture, they will undoubtedly increase the popularity and recognition of the perfect desert sweet potato, and accelerate its promotion in countries around the world. Xia Guo.

Of course, those developed countries who want to obtain the authorization of desert sweet potato seeds or even cultivation patent technology have to pay some price to satisfy Xia Guo.

These are not things that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun need to worry about. After finishing the call with Vice President Gu Bojun, Qin Ke and the two opened the mailbox of the mobile phone, and they saw the award notification and invitation letter sent by the Wolf Foundation. It stated the time and place of receiving the award, and it also stated that if the two of them are sure that they can make the trip, please reply by phone or email in advance, and the Wolf Foundation will arrange board and lodging and airport pick-up in advance.

It is still worthy of excitement and celebration to win an international award comparable to the Fields Medal, even if it is not in the field of mathematics and physics, but in agronomy.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun raised their hands with a smile, and clapped their hands like they used to when they won the big prize.

Qin Xiaoke and Fang Yongtang didn't understand what the Wolf Award for Agriculture was, but when they heard that it was the award that Mr. Yuan had won, and it was the Nobel Prize in agriculture, they immediately became excited.

"Congratulations to the two little bosses again!"

Qin Xiaoke tugged at Qin Ke's sleeve excitedly: "Brother, brother, is there a bonus for this grand prize?"

"Yes, but it's not too much. It's only one hundred thousand dollars, and Qingyun and I will share it equally."

"What kind of foundation is so stingy..." Qin Xiaoke muttered, "I remember that you and your sister-in-law once won a $300 million scientific breakthrough award. That's called a grand prize."

Qin Ke laughed: "The prize money of the Science Breakthrough Prize is the highest among all awards in the world, and the prize money of the Nobel Prize is only equivalent to about 120 million U.S. dollars."

"Let's not talk about that, where can I see the list of winners?" Qin Xiaoke's eyes sparkled.

Ning Qingjun pursed her lips and chuckled, and said softly to the phone: "Shimmer, open the website of the Wolf Foundation and check the latest list of awardees."

Soon the phone screen switched, and the website opened, and the list of winners of the nine Wolf Awards this year has been announced, not only including the name and photo, but also a brief introduction and the reason for the award. God knows where the Wolf Foundation found it material.

Among them, there is only one winner of the Wolf Mathematics Prize, Ingrid Dobesi, a 72-year-old Belgian female mathematician. The reason for the award is to recognize her "contribution to wavelet theory and applied harmonic analysis".

However, the winner of the Wolf Prize in Physics is vacant, indicating that no one can win this year's Physics Prize.

The winners of the Wolf Award in Agriculture are Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, and the winners of the other chemistry awards, medicine awards, and art awards are basically over 50 years old.

The photos of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are the avatars hanging on the arVix website. They were all photos taken when they graduated from sophomore year. They stand out among a group of elderly professors and scholars.

Qin Xiaoke smiled and said: "It's so interesting, brother and sister-in-law. You are mixed with a group of white-haired grandpas and grandmas. It will be a joy to go to receive the award then. Sister-in-law, send me a screenshot of this page, I want to go to the class Sunshine, yay!"

"Okay, let's go quickly, more and more people are watching, if we are recognized later, we won't be able to leave easily." Qin Ke urged the little girl, pulling Ning Qingyun to speed up the pace, Fang Yongtang helped pull Qin Xiaoke and Ning Qingyun's suitcases from behind.

When approaching the exit, Chen Ming, who had been silently following the crowd a dozen steps away, suddenly called out, "Professor Qin."

Qin Ke turned around and said unexpectedly, "Brother Ming, are you looking for me?"

"You and Professor Ning will leave with me and Chen Lan's car later."

Qin Ke was a little puzzled, but still nodded, and asked Fang Yongtang and Qin Xiaoke to sit in the business car driven by Qingning Technology to pick them up, while he dragged Ning Qingyun into another car driven by Chen Ming's colleague. In the black car.

Chen Mingchao nodded to his colleague, the colleague left the driver's seat, Chen Ming sat in the driver's seat, Chen Lan sat in the passenger seat, Qin Kelaningqing and Jun sat in the back row.

Soon the car starts.

Seeing that Chen Ming and Chen Lan were a little silent, Qin Ke felt even more confused, but these two have been protecting him and Ning Qingyun five years ago, they are absolutely trustworthy people, Qin Ke will not doubt them , just guessing if something happened, for example, he and Ning Qingyun would encounter danger in Yuanzhou.

Ning Qingyun also had a similar guess, and couldn't help but squeeze Qin Ke's hand nervously.

After the car drove for a while, Chen Ming said: "Professor Qin, Professor Ning, don't worry, there is nothing wrong, I just want to avoid others and give you a gift."

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun looked at each other in dismay: "A gift?"

Chen Lan took out two black boxes from her backpack and handed them over.

After Qin Ke and the two took it apart, their eyes widened all of a sudden: "This is..."

There are actually lifelike masks inside. The boys and girls are all around 24 or [-] years old, and their looks are average, not too handsome or beautiful, but they are by no means ugly.

"Human skin masks can also be called headgear." Chen Lan explained: "It is a high-tech product researched based on the latest technology. It is 95% similar to real people in terms of touch and feel, and it is dry and breathable, and can vividly The expressions of human beings are completely restored. Your identities are different from the past, and the probability of encountering danger when going abroad has increased a lot. After careful consideration, the higher-ups have specially ordered these two pairs of human skin masks for you. You can try them on and directly Just put it in the hood."

Qin Ke likes to try new things the most. He took off his hat and sunglasses, picked up the boy's mask, put it directly on his head, and adjusted it a little so that his eyes could align with the holes.

This headgear can go directly to the shoulders, as long as it is put on the clothes, it is completely seamless.

Looking at the mirror that Ning Qingyun took out, he made a few more expressions, which were indeed very vivid, almost indistinguishable from real people.

Seeing Qin Ke's completely changed appearance after putting on the human skin mask, Ning Qingyun also found it amusing. She took out her own human skin mask and put it on with Qin Ke's help.

Soon, the originally pure and beautiful girl turned into a woman in her 20s with good features but not attracting many people's attention.

If it wasn't for Ning Qingyun's too beautiful eyes, which would make people say "this appearance is not worthy of such beautiful eyes", it would be more perfect.

Both Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were extremely happy. With such a human skin mask, even if they were going out on a date, they no longer needed to wear glasses and hats to pretend.

Chen Lan continued: "There are also passports of your appearance in the box. The passports belong to Xiangjiang University, and the corresponding identity is a student of Xiangjiang University. After you go abroad, you will enter and exit with your original identity, but after you get off the plane and leave the airport , After getting in the car of our colleagues, you can wear this mask until you have to show up in your original identity, and then take it off. This can minimize your risk abroad, and you don’t have to restrict your visits to foreign attractions Sightseeing. Of course, you can also wear it when traveling in the country, and the passport can also be used in the country.”

"Thank you so much, Brother Ming, Sister Lan, this gift is so timely and useful!" Qin Ke was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "By the way, Brother Ming, Qingyun and I will have an extra gift when we go abroad next month. Jerusalem, go get a prize."

Chen Ming nodded, remained silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Chen Lan and I will not go abroad with you this time."

Qin Ke was startled: "Why?"

"Chen Lan and I have been with you for almost five years, and our identities have been exposed long ago. It doesn't make any sense for you to wear masks when you are with us. In addition... Chen Lan and I are about to bid farewell to you .”

"Farewell?" Ning Qingyun looked at Chen Lan and said anxiously, "Sister Lan, are you leaving?"

Chen Lan nodded: "Normally speaking, we should have retired long ago at our age, but because we get along well with you, we are a little bit reluctant. But now there is a new arrangement from above, we will be transferred to another department to work for a while , and then officially changed jobs.”

Chen Lan usually spoke less than Chen Ming, and her tone was always flat, but at this time there was a faint sadness of parting.

　Continue to ask for double monthly tickets!
　　I don't know if anyone remembers Chen Ming and Chen Lan, the two insignificant supporting roles?They are the shadows that protect Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, and they are also friends who are willing to block bullets for them.
