Super God-Level Top Student
Chapter 961 - 366: Rules

Qiao Ze couldn't understand Peter Schultz's dilemma, nor did he have much empathy.

Because he always makes these kinds of decisions quickly.

Just like when he decided to come to Xilin, he just came. When he didn't want to go to the Capital, he directly resisted and stayed in Xilin.

For Qiao Ze, being able to follow his own ideas is the most basic freedom. At least in Huaxia, you can achieve this level, and for a country that values freedom as life, this aspect should be done more purely.

So if Peter Schultz wants to come, he should come. If he really doesn't want to come, there's nothing that can be done.

Qiao Ze never wants to force people.

Just like all the external collaborations of Xilin Mathematics Research Institute, except for the bio-supercomputing project, are initiated by others.

Even the bio-supercomputing project is based on the mutual agreement to cooperate.

If there's no agreement to cooperate...

Anyway, there are actually many laboratories and research institutes in the field of biology in Huaxia, so a collaborator can always be found.

Of course, Qiao Ze doesn't have much energy to devote to this area.

Not only does he have to do scientific research, but there are also many miscellaneous tasks.

In fact, the situation this year is already quite special. According to the usual pattern, generally, the winners of the Nobel Prize take at least half a year without any free time.

For example, they need to prepare for the award speech, accept interviews from various media, receive invitations to give various types of lectures, and be invited to attend various celebratory events. Even Nobel Prize winners who are not good at socializing can adapt to various social occasions and handle them with ease after the whole process.

But Qiao Ze's situation is rather special.

He and Edward Witten already determined that they wouldn't be attending the Nobel Prize banquet in March, so there's no need to prepare any award speeches.

As for media interviews...

There are indeed quite a few media in Huaxia wanting to interview Qiao Ze, but the media wanting to interview have to pass several hurdles. Moreover, Qiao Ze is currently the chief of several classified research projects, so unless he agrees, no media can easily gain interview access.

As for various celebration events, there's no need to mention them.

Qiao Ze is even too lazy to accept interviews. Additionally, everyone in Huaxia knows that Qiao Ze established a Qiaoze Natural Science Award six months ago, modeled on the Nobel Prize, so those who thoughtlessly want to invite Qiao Ze for celebrations don't even have an invitation method, and those who do simply won't bother embarrassing themselves.

So compared to other Nobel Prize winners, this year when Qiao Ze won both the Physics Prize and the Chemistry Prize, his life can even be described as leisurely.

As for Edward Witten...

If Qiao Ze doesn't attend these events, he naturally won't take the initiative to accept invitations.

With both of them being so low-profile, Yang Xuanqing doesn't even need to be mentioned.

They just returned to school, where Huaqing held a small celebration ceremony internally. They didn't even post it online, fearing criticism.

Of course, this doesn't mean Qiao Ze is very idle.

In fact, he is preparing to make a trip to the Capital. Not for an academic conference or a lecture, but to receive an award.

That's right, it's to attend the annual Huaxia national-level science award ceremony.

This year's award ceremony is set for Monday, January 6, at the Jingcheng Great Hall.

The Group Wisdom project has already been confirmed to win the first prize of this year's Huaxia Science Progress Award, which has been announced online long ago. Considering that when the award was evaluated, the judging panel even held a special meeting in Xilin. If they decide to award it and you still don't go, it would be somewhat disrespectful.

Moreover, this time the entire team needed to go. Although Qiao Ze isn't very interested in these awards, considering that both Chen Yiwen and Tan Jingrong, who have already joined Youwei, are full of expectations for this award, Qiao Ze still feels he should accompany everyone for the trip.

Although he doesn't like the Capital's climate much, staying for just a few days is okay for Qiao Ze.

Besides, apart from the Group Wisdom project which is already confirmed to win the National Science Progress Award first prize, the material model from Xilin Mathematics Research Institute has also been selected for the National Technology Invention Award first prize. This was anticipated.

After all, the material model fully meets the country's many definitions of technological invention.

Though the invention is quite recent, its leading nature is unquestionable. Not to mention it has already created considerable economic benefits. Not mentioning its aid to domestic new infrastructure, it has also earned a large amount of foreign exchange.

The foreign exchange here doesn't refer to the money Langley transferred to Dou Dou, but the orders brought by the exportable construction materials updated using the material model. After all, unlike those one-time deals, these orders can bring continuous revenue gradually.

Not to mention that Qiao Ze also received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for inventing this technology.

Additionally, there's a rumor that Qiao Ze has been nominated for the National Supreme Science and Technology Award. However, those who trust and admire Qiao Ze the most, including Xu Dajiang and Li Jiangao, do not think Qiao Ze can get the Supreme Science and Technology Award this year.

The reason is simple, Qiao Ze is too young.

It's not that being young makes one unworthy of a prize. In terms of individual contributions, no one can say it's inappropriate for Qiao Ze to win this award.

But the issue is that this is already the highest honor in the field of science and technology in Huaxia. Generally, it is awarded when the bigshots reach retirement age, and it's no longer possible to hold high expectations for further contributions from them, representing the country's recognition of their contributions.
