Chapter 2315 Nobel Prize
The person who came was a school staff member. A foreigner followed behind him. The foreigner showed a complicated look, surprised and unwilling. After seeing Chen Long, he took off his hat and saluted, "Hello Mr. Bai, I am Larson, the cultural counselor of the Swedish Embassy in China. I flew over from the escort to send you a telegram."
After saying that, he looked around and said, "Where is Mr. Wu Liande? This telegram was sent to you both at the same time!"
"Mr. Wu is next door, so why don't we go there together!" Chen Long said. In the real world, Wu Liande would have returned to Nanyang after the Battle of Songhu, but in this world, he was pulled over by Chen Long. Now he followed him to Xi'an, teaching in school and continuing to engage in epidemic prevention research.
Chen Long had guessed what the telegram he brought was, but he was not too excited because it was all he deserved. When he arrived at the office next door, Wu Lien-teh was writing something. Chen Long went in and said, "Star League, Sweden has sent us two telegrams. This is Mr. Larson, the cultural counselor of the Swedish Embassy in China."
"Sweden?" Wu Liande was immediately excited and started to tremble when he spoke. It was October, and he could not know what the telegram sent by Sweden meant at this time.
"Dear Mr. Bai Jingqi, Mr. Wu Liante, I am honored to have this opportunity to inform you of this good news!" Larson solemnly took out the telegram and read it. He first read it in Swedish, and then translated it into Chinese. "According to the latest selection results of the Nobel Congress of the Caroline Medical College in Sweden, Nobel Physiology or scientists awarded Mr. Bai Jingqi and Mr. Wu Liante from China in 1943 to commend the two for their outstanding contributions in the prevention and control of plague. Now I sincerely invite the two to attend the award ceremony held at the Stockholm Concert Hall in Sweden on December 10, 1943!"
"Jing Qi, we won the prize! We finally won the prize!" Wu Liande's face was flushed with excitement, and the staff next to him also congratulated him repeatedly. After all, he was also a university staff member, so he naturally knew what the Nobel Prize in Medicine meant.
"Wow, I thought I wouldn't give it to you!" Chen Long was not very excited, and even said sarcastically, "You must know that in the real world, German scientist Domak discovered in 1932 that Bailangduoxi could prevent the infection of Staphylococcus and hemolytic streptococci, setting a precedent for the development of sulfonamide drugs and the treatment of infectious diseases. He won the Nobel Prize in 1939.
In 1941, Howard Flory, a pathologist at the University of Oxford in the UK, and the biochemist Qian En, isolated and purified penicillin and discovered its efficacy on infectious diseases. After only three years, they won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1945 with the discoverer of penicillin Fleming.
Chen Long not only made outstanding contributions to the prevention and control of plague and other fluid epidemics with Wu Lien-teh, but also the inventor of sulfonamide and penicillin. Now sulfonamide and penicillin have been in industrial production and practical application for many years. According to the winning speed of Domak and Howard Flory and Chanen, he should have won the award long ago.
However, it has been delayed until now that the Caroline Medical College in Sweden has awarded them this award. The reason for this is indeed worth pondering. Chen Long speculated that at the beginning, they may have been unwilling to award this award to themselves due to the arrogance of white people, but now the international situation has changed, and the struggle between the *** camp and the anti-*** camp has entered the later stage.
Although Sweden is a neutral country, it is also influenced by world public opinion. Out of considerations of uniting the anti-*** camp, they finally couldn't help but present awards to Chen Long and Wu Lien-teh.
"Principal, Mr. Xinglian, congratulations, this is a great thing! I will notify all the teachers and students of the school to celebrate!" At this moment, the staff and teachers from the next office came.
Immediately someone rushed to the school’s broadcast room, and soon all the teachers, students and staff in the school learned about Shen Long and Wu Lien-teh’s winning of the Nobel Prize in Medicine this year.
"What kind of award is this?" Most people were confused and had no idea what this meant.
"Don't you read the Chinese Journal of Medicine? The Nobel Prize in Medicine is the highest award in the global medical community. The Chinese Medical Association Award only recognizes our Chinese medical workers, while the Nobel Prize in Medicine faces scientists around the world! Being able to win this award shows that Principal Bai and Mr. Wu have made achievements that foreigners admire!" A student popularized it to people around him.
"So did Principal Bai and Mr. Wu win those foreigners? Is it the world's number one?" Another student understood the award in his own way.
"There is no first in literature, but Principal Bai and Mr. Wu's research in the field of plague prevention and control is indeed far superior to other scientists! Every year, countless scientists hope that they can win the Nobel Prize. If Principal Bai and Mr. Wu win this prize, they will definitely win many foreigners!" Even in later generations, Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize, which caused a huge response in China and greatly increased national morale, let alone in this era? The students were extremely excited.
Some people didn't even know that they got firecrackers from there, set them off in the school square, and then sang school songs to celebrate this scene that was destined to be famous in history.
The noise outside made the teachers and students in the classroom unable to concentrate on listening, but the harsh teachers in the past were not dissatisfied with it, so they simply put together the textbooks, "Forget it, this class is over here, let's celebrate together! This is the first world science award we have won in China!"
The news soon spread outside, and the people around them didn't understand what the Nobel Prize meant. However, Chen Long often took students to treat the people around him freely. Although he didn't understand what happened, it should be Principal Bai and Mr. Wu who encountered a good thing, so they also came to congratulate him.
Then there were representatives from the government and celebrities from Shaanxi. They also came to congratulate them. Of course, representatives from the Eighth Route Army Office in Xi'an were indispensable. Since they knew about it, Bai Jingye would also know it soon.
"Haha, Principal Bai and Mr. Wu are the first scholar in China to win the Nobel Prize, and the third Asian to win the Nobel Prize after Tagore and Raman of India. So the two are not only the light of Chinese, but also the light of Asia! We must celebrate today! Principal Bai, Mr. Wu, let's go to Defachang to have a dumpling banquet!" The Provincial Education Department, who came to congratulate, was blushed and had a sense of honor.
