Chapter 555: Chapter 529 Star Award (Fourth Update, Please Subscribe)
This news quickly spread throughout Hua Country.
Many people expressed skepticism about this matter.
After all, this represents the highest honor that Hua Country people can achieve in the world.
“Star University is getting too conceited, actually rejecting the Nobel Prize.”
“Really disappointing, I originally thought Ye Chen could make history for Hua Country.”
“Why reject it, is Ye Chen afraid of disappointment?”
“Why deprive other kids of their rights if you dare not?”
…
All the websites were discussing this matter, and no one understood Ye Chen’s choice.
But Ye Chen did not explain.
In Hua Country, a high-ranking official saw the announcement and nodded reassuringly.
“Good, we descendants of Yan and Huang should have such backbone.”
Ye Chen gave up the award, but it was for the revival of the entire Hua Country.
If Ye Chen truly accepted it for the sake of the award, then Star University would lose all official support.
Since Ye Chen made such a high-profile decision, naturally, this matter cannot rest on Ye Chen alone.
Soon, the Nobel committee’s announcement was released through their official website.
Upon seeing the announcement, the people of Hua Country were furious.
“This is simply too bullying, why should we give you what we worked hard to research for nothing?”
“Support Ye Chen, Principal Ye did the right thing.”
“It’s just a broken award, we Hua Country people do not accept it.”
Soon, major universities in Hua Country issued announcements.
“Huaqing University will no longer accept Nobel Prize nominations.”
“Modu University will no longer accept Nobel Prize nominations.”
“Jiang University will no longer accept Nobel Prize nominations.”
All major institutions in Hua Country issued the same announcement.
The unity of Hua Country’s people was fully consolidated at this moment.
Online, there was widespread criticism of the Nobel committee.
“This is simply bullying.”
“We Hua Country people don’t even care about this broken award.”
Almost everyone supported Ye Chen’s choice.
Those who initially questioned Ye Chen quietly deleted their posts.
Even major news media stood up, criticizing the Nobel committee’s hegemonic behavior.
At this time, the Nobel committee was also shocked by this news.
Indeed, they wanted to force Ye Chen to release data through this harsh decision.
They never imagined that Ye Chen would have such backbone, actually breaking with the Nobel Prize.
Even more frightening, Hua Country issued an announcement, no longer accepting any Nobel Prize nominations.
It must be known that the Nobel Prize is considered the most authoritative award in the world, and now Hua Country directly severed ties with it.
The Nobel higher-ups were secretly regretting it.
They never anticipated that such a decision would cause such a huge loss.
In their eyes, when Ye Chen received the news, he would obediently hand over the data.
But they underestimated Hua Country people’s backbone.
Now Hua Country is no longer the backward country they could easily manipulate.
Therefore, they issued a new announcement.
“Ye Chen, due to personal interests, faced with the deteriorating global environment, hoarded the technology and is unwilling to contribute to Earth’s energy. Now his Nobel Prize nomination is officially canceled.”
This news was immediately heavily publicized.
Ye Chen even became like a villain akin to Thanos.
Even some people in Hua Country were instigated to criticize Ye Chen online.
But just at this time, Hua Country suddenly made a major decision.
Establish the Star Award in Hua Country.
This award is named after Star specifically to tell the world that Ye Chen has a strong backing.
This backing is Hua Country.
When this news came out, the entire Hua Country was shocked.
They actually set up an award specifically for Ye Chen.
However, everyone believed that Ye Chen deserved this award.
When Hua Country was once impoverished and lacked technology, did foreign countries give us any?
Wasn’t it through our gradual efforts and research?
Now that we have technology, they want to take it for free. How can it be that easy?
Therefore, the establishment of this award also demonstrated the country’s support for Ye Chen.
At this point, Ye Chen also knew about this news.
Regarding the other party’s smear campaign against him, Ye Chen couldn’t even be bothered to respond.
He does things openly and honestly. What about benefiting humanity? Did they not consider the threat if such technology fell into the hands of a few countries and was used in military fields?
At this time, Ye Chen saw news that Hua Country was constructing a cross-sea bridge, but the technology for the underwater tunnel project was held by another country.
Hua Country sincerely wanted to purchase it, but the other side set a price of fifty billion.
This was simply devoid of any sincerity.
Heh, you want our technology for free, and we have to pay a sky-high price for yours?
Ye Chen suddenly remembered the skills of a master architect.
In one night, Ye Chen directly drew up a blueprint.
After one night, Elder Wei suddenly received a call from Ye Chen.
“Elder Wei, aren’t we constructing a cross-sea bridge?”
“Yes, we are, but we’re encountering some troubles now.” Elder Wei was also troubled by this issue.
With negotiations failing, they would have to rely on their research, which would take three years, meaning project completion would be delayed by three years.
Ye Chen said, “Elder Wei, I have a solution. Let them take a look if it works.”
Subsequently, Ye Chen directly sent the document to Elder Wei’s email.
Elder Wei received the email, opened it, and his eyes brightened.
Cross-sea bridge design plan.
Could it be that Ye Chen has this technology?
Thinking of the mecha, thinking of nuclear energy, Elder Wei felt this possibility was very high.
He quickly called Chen Dong, who was in charge of the cross-sea bridge project.
Chen Dong hadn’t slept all night.
Everything was ready, but they were stuck on this crucial technology.
If this problem couldn’t be solved, the construction period for the cross-sea bridge would be indefinitely extended.
“Shall we try negotiating with them again?” the deputy commander suggested.
Chen Dong shook his head, “They set a sky-high price precisely because they don’t want to give us the technology. These guys just can’t stand to see us rise.”
At that moment, Chen Dong’s phone rang.
“Old Chen, I have a cross-sea bridge design plan here.”
“Ah, where did you get it from?”
“A friend of mine, take a look to see if it works.”
Soon the plan was sent over.
When Chen Dong saw the plan, his hands trembled slightly.
“My God, it’s absolutely brilliant, how did I not think of this.”
Several other technical crew members gathered around, “Old Chen, what’s going on, why are you so excited.”
Chen Dong excitedly said, “Our cross-sea bridge design solution is solved.”
“What? Solved?”
Everyone was stunned.
To know, this technology was priced at fifty billion by a certain country, and it was solved so easily?
Chen Dong excitedly dialed the phone, “Elder Wei, quickly tell me, where did you get this design plan from?”
