Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 682 - 681 Awards

Then the chairman of the Nobel Foundation will also say a few words about the significance of the Nobel Prize and its impact on the field of natural sciences.

This part is basically all just formal talk; you don't need to listen to know what's going to be said.

But these formalities are indispensable; everyone hears them once a year before they can enter the award ceremony.

Very soon, the chairman of the Nobel Foundation came onto the stage to begin his speech for today.

His speech was predictably boring, hardly any different from previous years.

Jiang Cheng reckoned he wouldn't even need to change his speech; just adjust the date and the names.

Jiang Cheng was sitting there listening, almost falling asleep. He hated these kinds of ceremonies the most. If it wasn't for the fact that he was getting an award today, he wouldn't waste his time here.

After a while, the chairman finally finished his speech, and the ceremony proceeded to the next part.

The music in the hall changed styles, and an elderly gentleman walked to the center of the stage.

He's the one presenting the award to Jiang Cheng today; soon Jiang Cheng will receive the accolade from him.

The elderly gentleman giving out the award has quite a notable background; he's named Carl XVI Gustav.

Just hearing a name with so many Roman numerals makes it clear this person isn't ordinary.

Carl XVI Gustav is the current King of Sweden, and he's the one presenting the award to Jiang Cheng today.

The Nobel Prize is personally awarded by the Swedish King, which is a tradition of the Nobel Prize.

Perhaps having a king present the awards elevates the prestige, so this tradition has been continued.

Once the Swedish King walked to the center stage, the award ceremony proceeded to the second stage.

Of course, the King doesn't just come straight up to hand out the award. First, he started his own speech.

The chairman of the Nobel Foundation just finished speaking, and now it was the King's turn.

If a king comes over to give you an award, it would be a bit much if you didn't let him say something.

So the King of Sweden began his speech; this was yet another long waiting process.

The Swedish King reviewed the history of the Nobel Prize, spoke about previous recipients, and casually expanded on the future, making for a fairly comprehensive speech.

Of course, what the King of Sweden said was also some nonsense, yet these types of speeches are an indispensable part of such occasions.

Just like at every school opening ceremony, someone always comes out to ramble on, these ceremonies always include pointless talk.

Jiang Cheng sitting below was really about to fall asleep; such drivel has an amazing hypnotic effect, just listening makes the eyelids fight to stay open, one might accidentally nod off.

"I just talked a lot about the history of the Nobel Prize, next, I want to mention an outstanding young scientist."

He achieved countless great accomplishments before the age of twenty.

And today's award ceremony was specifically arranged for him, to honor his contributions to the scientific community."

After a long ramble, the King of Switzerland finally began to get to the point.

The young scientist he spoke of was, of course, Jiang Cheng; no other youngster could deserve such praise.

You could say Jiang Cheng has already become a phenomenon worthy of every young person to learn from.

Jiang Cheng finally perked up upon hearing the Swedish King mention him from the stage.

Only then did he re-focus his attention, beginning to watch the stage attentively.

The Swedish King continued to elaborate on Jiang Cheng's situation, which is also customary for every award ceremony.

If one is not very familiar with the academic world, they generally aren't familiar with those who win awards.

So it's necessary to present an introduction at the award ceremony, so as not to make everyone feel too surprised.

If the Nobel Prize winners were completely unknown to everyone, then it'd be quite embarrassing.

It's precisely because many recipients aren't well-known that it's necessary to inform everyone about what this award recipient has accomplished.

But this part was actually wasting time today; Jiang Cheng doesn't need anyone else to introduce him.

His notoriety far surpasses that of ordinary scientists, even capable of rivaling international superstars.

Everyone is very familiar with Jiang Cheng's deeds and accomplishments, these are the things people usually love discussing.

You could say the name Jiang Cheng itself represents immense fame; no need for the Swedish King to introduce anything, everyone already knows Jiang Cheng quite well.

Thus, what the Swedish King said was still rubbish, although he was slightly starting to get to the point.

"Above is the main situation of the young scholar; next I will officially present him with the award."

After introducing Jiang Cheng, he finally prepared to officially announce the award recipient.

To honor contributions made in dark matter theoretical modeling, the recipient of this year's Nobel Prize in Physics is Jiang Cheng!

To recognize achievements made in room-temperature superconducting materials, the recipient of this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry is Jiang Cheng!

To honor contributions made in gene repair, the recipient of this year's Nobel Prize in Biology is Jiang Cheng!

To honor achievements made in liver cancer treatment, the recipient of this year's Nobel Prize in Medicine is Jiang Cheng!

King Ruixing announced four awards at once, and Jiang Cheng's name was mentioned four times.

The Swedish King's speech referred to Jiang Cheng winning the Physics Prize due to the dark matter theoretical model and the Chemistry Prize due to the room-temperature superconducting materials.

The Medicine Prize was because Jiang Cheng's first research result, treatment for liver cancer, and the Biology Prize was due to his gene repair solution.

When awarding the Nobel Prize, they explain why the recipients are awarded, and their achievements are the main basis for selection.

But today's situation was a bit special; the Swedish King announced four achievements all at once, and then presented four awards simultaneously.

This kind of situation was a first in the many years of Nobel history.

In the past, awards were announced and given one by one, never has there been a situation where four awards were given at once.

Only someone like Jiang Cheng, who won four awards simultaneously, could create such an odd situation.

Because Jiang Cheng won four Nobel Prizes all at once, the award ceremony combined them.

Thus, the current situation arose, where the Swedish King announced four awards in one go.

Actually, the Ruixing Science Academy originally planned to present them one by one and let Jiang Cheng come on stage to receive them four times.

This would also be more in line with the tradition of the Nobel Prize, appearing more formal.

But Jiang Cheng didn't have time to play along with them; coming on stage to accept awards four times would just be a waste of Jiang Cheng's life.

Running back and forth four times like a postal courier, Jiang Cheng wouldn't bother doing such fruitless things.
