Chapter 554: Chapter 528: Refusing the Nomination (Third Update, Seeking Subscription)
The Nobel Prize is the highest award in the world of science and technology.
The content of the letter states that Mr. Ye Chen has been nominated as a candidate for the Nobel Prize due to his outstanding achievements in new energy.
After all, within the scope of science and technology, Ye Chen is the first person to be shortlisted.
The Nobel Prize is the most authoritative award in any field.
Those who receive this award have certainly made outstanding contributions to the world in their respective fields.
Ye Chen’s nuclear fusion reactor can be said to have pioneered the energy industry, and there is no controversy around him receiving this award.
After all, this is a supreme honor for Ye Chen.
This is also the pride of Hua Country. Hua’s technology has now leapt to the forefront of the world, no longer the backward Hua Country that once suffered defeats everywhere.
The Eastern Dragon has awakened.
This news quickly spread throughout Hua Country.
Major websites raced to report.
At this time, major media in Hua Country raced to report.
After all, this is a major event that excites Hua Country.
Soon, the news of Ye Chen’s nomination for the Nobel Prize in Technology became the top trending news.
"Awesome, Principal Ye is too brilliant."
"Deservedly so. I heard this nuclear fusion reactor was only produced by our Hua Country."
"Star University is my dream school now."
"My goal is no longer Huaqing, Kyoto University but Star University."
Many people, because of Ye Chen, changed their goals of striving.
This news was like a shot in the arm, stirring up the popularity of Star University once again.
After all, the Nobel Prize in Technology is such a heavyweight honor.
Star University and Ye Chen’s names also became viral online.
But for Ye Chen’s protection, his photo didn’t appear in the media.
At this time, Star University was also immersed in excitement.
After all, their principal being nominated for the Nobel is the greatest honor for them.
Ye Chen, flipping through the news, also felt very pleased.
This award is a huge affirmation for him.
Now not only has he made a splash in the business world, but he’s also created new miracles in technology.
If these technologies were applied globally, the world’s energy problem would certainly be solved.
But Ye Chen understands that such technologies cannot be casually revealed.
Nuclear fusion technology is too frightening; it could even make an ordinary gun shoot like a missile.
Thus, Hua Country hasn’t directly given this technology to other countries.
After all, some countries acquiring this technology would certainly immediately apply it to warfare, something Ye Chen does not wish for.
This is also the main reason Ye Chen refused costly patent offers from many countries.
In his eyes, the Nobel Prize is nothing compared to world peace, which is most important.
Elder Wei personally came to the school to congratulate Ye Chen.
"Younger Brother Ye, congratulations, you’ve created history for Hua Country."
This matter is also highly prioritized by the higher-ups.
After all, this honor can be said to be the world’s recognition of Ye Chen, or even of Hua Country.
It’s vital to know that those who receive this award have once changed the world.
Now we Hua Country people finally have someone standing on such a pinnacle.
Ye Chen smiled faintly: "It’s just a vanity, nothing much."
Seeing Ye Chen’s unfazed demeanor, Elder Wei was stunned for a moment.
To know even he got excited upon receiving the news, yet Ye Chen could calmly view this matter.
However, Elder Wei quickly came to terms with it.
Ye Chen’s reaction was very normal.
After all, Ye Chen doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone; he has already proven everything with his strength.
Two People chatted for a while longer and then left.
The Nobel selection places Ye Chen on the candidate shortlist, but the final evaluation is required to determine the ultimate winner.
In other words, Ye Chen winning the award is just the first step.
But Ye Chen’s discovery is really astounding.
It could be said that his discovery is enough to solve the world’s energy problems.
With such a huge contribution, how could he not win the award?
Everyone is waiting for the moment Ye Chen wins the award.
However, a letter arrived again soon.
Ye Chen thought it was an invitation to the award ceremony, but upon opening it, Ye Chen’s face changed slightly.
Because the letter required Ye Chen to disclose the technology to the world to be eligible for the award.
This could be said to set a trap for Ye Chen.
To receive the highest honor in science, you must reveal the technology.
Ye Chen’s expression was very grim.
The notice was phrased with grand language, stating that Ye Chen must disclose technical data to genuinely benefit humanity to have the right to win.
He finally understood, this award is merely a bait.
Their intention is simple, using this to force him to hand over nuclear fusion technology.
To know the Nobel Prize is every scientist’s dream.
Ye Chen refused other countries’ purchases, so they came up with this method, forcing Ye Chen to hand over data.
If Ye Chen disclosed the data, he could win the award, but the data would be grasped by scientists in other countries.
Once nuclear fusion is possessed, besides benefiting humanity, it might also result in humanity’s destruction.
This is something Ye Chen absolutely cannot allow.
Soon, Ye Chen received a call from Elder Wei.
"Ye Chen, we also received the notice, what do you think of this matter."
Elder Wei was also very anxious because the data is in Ye Chen’s hands, and if he insists on disclosure, there isn’t much he can say.
Ye Chen, however, smiled faintly: "It’s just an award, nothing significant."
Saying that, Ye Chen directly posted an announcement on Star University’s official forum.
"From now on, Star University students will no longer accept any nominations from the Nobel Prize."
This was Ye Chen’s response.
Bold, assertive.
You’re threatening me? I’m not playing your game anymore; I’m out of the selection.
Of course, Ye Chen’s premise is current students; if students graduate, Ye Chen doesn’t interfere.
Soon, Star University’s official website released an announcement stating Star University students will no longer accept any nominations from the Nobel Prize.
The announcement exploded throughout Star University.
It exploded throughout Hua Country.
It even exploded in the world of academia.
Knowing that the Nobel Prize is the highest honor in every field worldwide.
Anyone or any group receiving this honor is akin to becoming a god-like presence in academia.
However, Star University publicly announced it’ll no longer accept nominations.
Soon, news about the Nobel Prize requiring Ye Chen to disclose nuclear fusion technology also came out.
No one blamed Ye Chen; they even supported Ye Chen’s decision.
Especially students from Star University — not one complained.
What’s the Nobel Prize? Ye Chen gave their dreams wings; without Ye Chen, they might not even have the chance to attend university now.
Many of them might have already become migrant workers, delivery workers, restaurant waitstaff.
Therefore, regarding any decision by Ye Chen, they support him unconditionally.
