I really just want to be a scholar

Stockholm is located on the eastern coast of Sweden. It is an island group consisting of 70 islands and a peninsula. The islands are connected by more than [-] bridges, forming a very distinctive island group city, so it is called Known as the "Venice of the North", the big city by the sea in the famous animated film "Kiki's Delivery Service" directed by Hayao Miyazaki was created based on Stockholm.

Stockholm is the birthplace of the chemist Nobel. It is a famous historical city as well as a famous cultural city. The urban buildings are full of smart designs, and the streets and alleys are full of moving music. The world-renowned Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is here. The academic giants of the Nobel Prize award ceremony and their relatives have also become a unique cultural feature in Stockholm.

When Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun set foot on the land of Stockholm again, they were still quite moved when they saw the scenery that still had some impressions.

Two years ago, the two of them came here together to receive the Crawford Award. It was also at the end of February and the beginning of March. Now they set foot on this land again at the same time, and time seemed to go back and forth.

It's just that the academic status and reputation of the two of them today has greatly improved compared to two years ago, and the two have also upgraded from a close relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend to a loving young couple.

At this time, Stockholm is still in winter, and the temperature is around minus 5 degrees Celsius. Although it has not snowed for a while, the city can still see snow that has not completely melted.

"It's been a long time since I went abroad." Ning Qingyun's tone revealed a little emotion. The greater the achievement, the higher the status, but the less freedom.

"Ever since I hurriedly flew to Deguo to meet Professor Copette in August last year, I really haven't been abroad again. Last year, I went abroad just once." Qin Ke patted the human skin hidden in his backpack The mask and the passport box, and said with a smile: "Thanks to them, we will have many more opportunities to go abroad in the future. This time, in addition to taking wedding photos in China, we can also go abroad to take more wedding photos together."

Xia Guo's technology in certain fields should not be underestimated. At least this small box containing the human skin mask and passport is specially made, with double compartments. The upper layer contains some documents and materials, and the lower layer contains the human skin mask and corresponding identity passport.

The most amazing thing about this box is that the X-rays during the security check can only "see" the thick stack of documents and materials inside, and can't see the things in the lower layer.

Qin Ke has analyzed that this small box alone involves extremely sophisticated material science technology, at least it can reflect specific graphics according to the loopholes in the X-ray inspection equipment, making the X-ray inspection equipment form a wrong perspective-this is in Internationally, it should be regarded as a very advanced technology.

Sure enough, Xia Guo never lacked excellent scientists, but these scientists seldom focused on academic or civilian purposes, and more engaged in closed, sophisticated 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 is free, without worrying about the danger of being recognized.

"Yes." Ning Qingyun nodded shyly and sweetly.Originally, she only had a general feeling. She has a quiet temperament and doesn't like to move. It doesn't matter whether she goes abroad or not. Moreover, her family background also determines that she cannot go abroad freely like ordinary people. Now she has a human skin mask and With a new passport, he and Qin Ke can go abroad to take wedding photos together.

The wedding date of the two is 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 unknown how they found the "auspicious day". I don't have any objections. It happened that the university would be on summer vacation at that time, and they were both in Yuanzhou, so it was the most suitable.

After the wedding date is fixed, the wedding photo shoot will be finalized.Considering that April is mainly busy with the recruitment of postgraduates and doctoral students, the two arranged their wedding photos to be taken in late March, tentatively scheduled to be one day in China and five days abroad. The domestic wedding photos will be in Beijing I chose the studio in the studio, and chose the Aegean Sea overseas, and the itinerary has been arranged with the help of assistant Fang Yongtang.

Wei Jing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned her head and said with a smile, "Congratulations to the two academicians on their wedding."

Wei Jing is 26 and [-] years old this year. She is not pretty, and the lines of her face are a bit too tough, but she is tall and looks extremely heroic. Qingyun is familiar.

She has a different background from Chen Ming and Chen Lan. On the contrary, she belongs to the same department as Chen Ya, Qin Kening Qingyun's assistant at Qingmu University. They are both secretarial security personnel.

Because Qin Ke and the others didn't bring Chen Ya with them, the superior arranged for her to come over.

Wei Feng is an old acquaintance, but he used to be responsible for protecting Qin Ke in the dark or at a relatively long distance. Now that Chen Ming was transferred away, he took Chen Ming's position.

Wei Feng is the opposite of Wei Jing, if it is not necessary, he almost never speaks, and the expression on his face is as cold as a blade. "Chen Ya", "Wei Feng", and "Wei Jing" are not real names, but aliases used when performing tasks.

For example, the real name of "Chen Ming" is Cheng Qiming, and the real name of "Chen Lan" is Chen Tielan.

This time Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun went abroad together. In addition to Wei Feng and Wei Jing, there were also three administrative assistants who also nominally belonged to Qingmu University, and two life logistics assistants. There were a total of nine people in the group.

However, Qin Ke estimated that there were at least 20 people secretly protecting him and Ning Qingyun, and the number of peripheral personnel was several times more.

What an exaggerated and luxurious lineup.

After leaving the airport, the two of them took Wei Feng's car to the designated venue for the "Einstein Science Award" selection conference - the Stockholm Grand Hotel.This is an ancient hotel with a history of more than 250 years. Since 1901, the guests and their families attending the Nobel Prize award ceremony have basically arranged to stay here. It is next to the Baltic Sea and you can see the beautiful sea view from the window.

In addition to holding the "Einstein Science Award" selection event every year, the World Cultural Council also selects the "Einstein World Art Award" and "Einstein World Education Award" every two years. This year happens to be an even-numbered year. The three awards will be selected together, which makes the Stockholm Grand Hotel extraordinarily lively, and there are countless scholars, artists, and scientists from all over the world.

When Qin Ke took Ning Qingyun and accompanied by the hotel attendants to the sign-in office, Erken, the reception staff member, was very busy. Qin and Ke waited in line for nearly 10 minutes before it was their turn to check-in formalities.

"My God, you are Professor Qin Ke and Professor Ning Qingyun from Xia Guo?" Erken looked up when he saw the name on the passport in his hand.

Qin Ke was a little puzzled. He took off his sunglasses and said politely, "I am Qin Ke from Xia Kingdom. Do you have any questions?"

Erken smiled wryly and said, "You've finally arrived. Since five days ago, people have come to ask if you and your wife have arrived."

Erken is a senior officer 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 year!
Originally there were only 2000 spectators, but more than 800 spectators came, making dozens of nearby hotels fully booked, and more than [-] new spectators were almost all world-renowned mathematics masters and outstanding professors. It is said that They all came here to listen to the special report of Professor Qin Ke, and the "Einstein Science Award" selection activity was abruptly turned into an international mathematician conference.

But Erken had a headache, so he had no choice but to greet him with a smile. These mathematicians are very powerful. Somehow, they persuaded the senior management of the World Cultural Council. The senior management actually agreed to the report specially for Qin Ke. Temporary increase of 850 audience places, also specially prepared a super-large meeting room that can accommodate [-] audiences.

For this reason, the workload of Erken and several of his colleagues has doubled.

This time I finally saw the "culprit" appear, so how could Erken not take a few more glances?

After Qin Ke asked clearly, he couldn't help laughing and crying. Fortunately, there were no acquaintances around at this time, so he quickly put on his sunglasses, and after completing the registration procedures in a hurry, he dragged Ning Qingyun to "escape" away.

Otherwise, surrounded by people, it is estimated that the itinerary plan for the next two days will be ruined.

Qin Ke did not stay in the Stockholm Grand Hotel, but stayed in a hotel arranged by Wei Feng in advance a few hundred meters away.

After changing clothes and having lunch, the two of them had the time to carefully read the pamphlet of the selection meeting in their hands, which introduced the information of all the candidates.

Leaving aside the "Einstein Award for Art" and "Einstein Award for Education", there are 50 candidates for the "Einstein Award for Science" alone, and the selection of these 50 candidates will begin on March 3 In the conference, one-hour reports are given in turn.

The entire report process lasted for six days, and on the seventh day, that is, March 3, a list of winners of the "Einstein Science Award" will be finally selected.

"The competition this time is so fierce." Ning Qingyun flipped through the booklet in her hand, frowning slightly, 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 Award" is to compete with all outstanding scientists in the world, even if there are only five candidates. Ten, but how easy is it to stand out from the 50?

For example, Professor Hasegawa of Japan pointed out a new direction for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease through TDP-43 and research on neurodegenerative diseases; for example, Professor Santiago Munet, a geneticist at MIT, invented The miniature "biochip" used in the test-tube baby laboratory can greatly reduce the cost of test-tube babies, and help countless low-level people who cannot conceive realize their "children's dream"; Professor Luo, the large-scale continuous production of fiber batteries has been realized, which will greatly promote the development of industries such as wearable devices and printed electronic products...

It can be said that among the fifty candidates, none of them deserve their reputations, and 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 Seed Science", "Desert Sweet Potato" and "Lime Topological Superconducting Vortex State Theoretical Model System", but for this time to participate in the "Ain Whether the "Stan Science Award" selection conference can return with honor, neither of them is fully sure.

——As for proving the Riemann Hypothesis, Goldbach’s Hypothesis and other world-viewing achievements are all theoretical achievements in pure mathematics, they will not be included in the selection reference for this "Einstein Science Award".

However, Qin Ke was optimistic by nature, he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, if we can come here to be one of the candidates, it is equivalent to reaching the level of the top [-] best scientists in the world. If you think about it this way, it will be greatly improved. confidence?"

Ning Qingyun thought about it, and finally smiled again.

Qin Ke reached out and rubbed Ning Qingyun's hair: "Come on, let's go out for a stroll first, and tomorrow we will go to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to get a foreign academician's certificate."

The selection rules for this "Einstein Science Award" are said to refer to the scientific research achievements of the candidates, and also refer to the performance of each candidate's special report on the stage. The jury will consider the two parts together and decide Voting is done, so performance at the briefing is also important.

Qin Ke didn't want Ning Qingyun to be too nervous to affect his performance on the spot, so he decided to take Ning Qingyun out to relax first.

Anyway, the certificate doesn't have long legs, and it won't run away by itself, so it doesn't matter if it's a day or two late to get it.

The two put on human skin masks, changed their clothes, and left the hotel through a special passage through the back door of the hotel. Then they held hands and strolled through the streets of Stockholm.

Accompanying them on the trip were two 25-year-old young men and women. Their real names are unclear, but the names written in their passports are "Jiang Chao" and "Jiang Qi". They are students of Xiangjiang University, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's college classmates made an appointment to travel to Sweden together, but they took another flight.

Jiang Chao and Jiang Qi are also relatively ordinary in appearance, not good-looking but definitely not ugly, but they are stylishly dressed, and they don't look like bodyguards at all, but Qin Ke can see that the two walk steadily. They probably have practiced martial arts for many years. At least Qin Ke has professional Wing Chun skills at this time, so he may not be able to win against these two.

Jiang Chao and Jiang Qi are very talkative. They can speak Cantonese, Mandarin, and English fluently. At this time, Qin Ke and Qin Ke are really like ordinary classmates. I have a deeper understanding of the new identity background of my disguise.

However, Jiang Chao and Jiang Qi respected Qin Ke's opinions very much, and handed over the arrangement of the itinerary to Qin Ke.

Qin Ke thought for a while: "Let's go to the Nordic Museum first. Take the subway."

When the two of them came to this city last time, they visited City Hall Square, Skansen Museum, Vasa Shipwreck Museum, and Queen Street. This time, time is limited, so they will make up for the Nordic Museum first.

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 undertake transportation functions, Stockholm's subway stations are like an art corridor. More than 150 artists show their creativity in various forms, such as sculptures, mosaics, installation art, prints, reliefs, etc., with bright and eye-catching The colorful colors give people a strong visual impact, making each station admirable for its unique design.

Stockholm's subway is therefore known as "the longest art gallery in the world".

The last time Qin Ke came here, he basically took a special car to go to and from various scenic spots. This time, it was rare and easy, and there was no danger, so he decided to take a subway trip, but he did not expect that at the entrance of the subway, he encountered an unexpected people.
