Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 677 - 676: Compromise

We can say that in the realm of natural science awards, no one can ignore Jiang Cheng, the most dazzling scientist.

Basically, every year Jiang Cheng receives numerous awards, but even he himself cannot keep track of exactly how many.

Because the fame of many awards is not very high, Jiang Cheng himself doesn't bother to keep count.

If Jiang Cheng were to personally attend every award ceremony, he would have no time for anything else and would just spend his days running from one ceremony to another.

So generally, Jiang Cheng does not attend award ceremonies; the trophies and medals are mailed to him.

Jiang Cheng rarely attended award ceremonies personally, and recently he only attended the Fields Medal ceremony.

Many award ceremonies are held by obscure organizations, and attending them would only waste Jiang Cheng's time, so he rarely pays attention to such notifications.

However, the notification from the Rui Shi Academy of Sciences is entirely different, as it signifies that he is going to receive a Nobel Prize, and such an event certainly deserves a personal appearance by Jiang Cheng at the ceremony.

The Nobel Prize is the highest accolade in the scientific community, unmatched by any other award.

Every scientist takes pride in winning a Nobel Prize, as it is a great honor for them.

It can be said that almost every top scientist has received this award.

For these scientists, the Nobel Prize is the best form of recognition.

Jiang Cheng had never received this award before nor had the favor of the Rui Shi Academy of Sciences.

In fact, based on Jiang Cheng's previous achievements, he fully deserved this award.

Unfortunately, the people at the Sweden Academy felt that Jiang Cheng was too young, and awarding him would undermine the credibility of the prize.

The youngest recipient of the Nobel Prize before now was already 25 years old.

And that recipient won the prize in 1915 when the award was not as well-established, resulting in such a situation.

Moreover, the 25-year-old recipient won the award together with his father, so it could be said he benefited from his father's glory.

The second youngest recipient was already over 30, and most others have received the award after turning 30.

Apart from the 25-year-old recipient in 1915, everyone else received the award after the age of 30.

Right now, Jiang Cheng has just reached adulthood and isn't even 20 years old yet.

For the Nobel Prize, this age is indeed too young, several years younger than the 1915 recipient.

The people at the Sweden Academy felt that awarding a prize to someone under 20 would seem rather hasty.

This is why Jiang Cheng had never received this highest accolade in the scientific community.

Initially, the Sweden Academy considered waiting a few years to award Jiang Cheng the prize later.

By then, Jiang Cheng would be in his twenties, still exceptionally young, but at least no longer quite so shocking.

Since there was once a 25-year-old recipient, awarding the prize to someone in their twenties wouldn't be so extraordinary.

If Jiang Cheng were to receive the Nobel Prize before even reaching 20, it would make the award seem lacking in prestige.

So the Rui Shi Academy of Sciences had been waiting for time to pass, intending to award him when he was a bit older.

Due to the issue of age, Jiang Cheng had not received the Nobel Prize for a long time.

But this time, the Sweden Academy finally relented, planning to award the Nobel Prize to Jiang Cheng, this young man not yet 20.

The reason the Sweden Academy compromised this time is quite simple; Jiang Cheng's achievements can no longer be ignored.

Recently, Jiang Cheng put forward a theoretical model of dark matter, a result perfectly worthy of the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Moreover, Jiang Cheng had so many great achievements prior, each worthy of awarding and recognition.

Jiang Cheng simply used his own prowess to force the Rui Shi Academy to concede.

If the Sweden Academy continued to delay, the public might start questioning its fairness. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

If even someone like Jiang Cheng couldn't win, then what's the point of the Nobel Prize?

Such voices have already started to emerge in the academic community, prompting the Rui Shi Academy to set aside concerns about Jiang Cheng's age and prepare to award him.

The Sweden Academy simply couldn't withstand external pressure this time and was completely defeated by Jiang Cheng's achievements.

Being able to make the Sweden Academy compromise with his achievements, Jiang Cheng could certainly feel proud.

Upon learning that he was about to win the award, Jiang Cheng felt very happy.

Award of this caliber, like the Nobel Prize, was great recognition for Jiang Cheng.

Although Jiang Cheng's greatness didn't need the Nobel Prize to validate it, receiving the award was still an acknowledgment.

More importantly, this particular Nobel Prize was special, perhaps the most special Nobel Prize ever.

At this Nobel Prize ceremony, a scientist would receive several awards simultaneously, making it exceptionally unique.

Yes, what the Rui Shi Academy of Sciences prepared to give Jiang Cheng wasn't just one award; several awards were to be presented to him at once.

After a careful review, the Sweden Academy decided to award Jiang Cheng four Nobel Prizes simultaneously.

That's right — you're not mistaken, four Nobel Prizes to Jiang Cheng at once.

Jiang Cheng is set to receive the Nobel Prize in Physics, Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Nobel Prize in Medicine, and Nobel Prize in Biology.

These four awards represent the primary fields Jiang Cheng is currently involved with, each a major discipline in natural sciences.

Such an event has never happened before; winning four awards simultaneously is a groundbreaking event.

If a scientist manages to win two different Nobel Prizes, it's already an extraordinary feat.

This has happened before, but those scientists typically took a long time to win the second award.

Jiang Cheng winning different awards in the same year, and four at that, completely surpasses any previous laureates.

With these four awards, Jiang Cheng's position in the academic world became unassailable.

If during the last debate with the physics community, Jiang Cheng had won these four Nobel Prizes, the situation might have been entirely different.

Even if someone doubted Jiang Cheng's theory then, they might have only kept it to themselves, not daring to bring it up for discussion.

With Nobel Prizes in four different fields, who would dare to question such a scientist?
