Chapter 311: Bonus? No, Compensation!_3



Are you saying that only you are allowed to manipulate behind closed doors, but we can't even slowly develop our own award?

Moreover, the Xi Lin Mathematical Research Institute hasn't even said they want to compete head-on with the Nobel Prize; at most, they're just introducing some rules that have a bit of a competitive edge against Nobel.

Even so low-key, yet the other side released a manifesto, calling for the academic world to boycott the Qiaoze Natural Science Award.

This has become a publicly known fact, even driving Dou Dou to vent her grievances on Weibo through tears.

This is only because someone inside the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences couldn't stand it anymore and tipped off a Forbes journalist, lifting the lid on the truth, otherwise, the Xilin Institute of Mathematics would have had to swallow this mute injustice.

So when we are being bullied to our faces, Dou Dou isn't allowed to fight back?

What's the damn difference from a hundred years ago then?

Therefore, without a doubt, to most people in Huaxia, Dou Dou's Weibo post represents absolute justice.

What?

You're allowed to do wrong, and others can't even speak out?!

Now that someone is leading the way, the effect is particularly clear. This can be seen from the comments section right after the Weibo post was published.

"Ha, Dou Dou finally revealed her lack of experience, when has the Nobel Prize ever been a joke? Not only is it a joke, it's especially good at telling infernal jokes, like the Peace Prize being partial to butchers."

"That's why I often say discussing the Nobel Prize every October is purely boring. They decide behind closed doors who to give the award to, with no formulas afterward, just an old man who makes all the decisions, leaving plenty of room for manipulation; it's not a big deal not to accept such an award."

"Nobel Prize? More like a joke prize, we don't care about it; Qiao's award is awesome."

Some people gave their side thoughts.

"From this, you can see how difficult it has always been for our scientists to receive a legitimate Nobel Prize; we literally had to have those folks begrudgingly acknowledge it."

Others gave summaries.

"In the year 2024, Dou, due to the Nobel Prize's unfair decision not to award her father the honor, slammed the table in protest, vented her anger, and henceforth the Nobel Prize became a joke in the eyes of the world."

...

If the reactions of ordinary people were such, then the academic community erupted completely.

Seeing Dou Dou's Weibo post, a part of them were truly dumbstruck.

Rejecting the Nobel Prize in advance?! And to make such a public statement on social media; is she crazy?

After all, the Nobel Prize is an honor that countless Huaxia researchers long for but can't attain.

Another part of the community was thrilled.

Should the Qiaoze Natural Science Award truly replace the Nobel Prize in the future, it would no doubt be much easier for Huaxia scientists to win awards than the current Nobel Prize.

Especially with that transparent award evaluation system, even if one doesn't win, just being in the final top ten would significantly bolster their academic influence.

As everyone knows, compared to the Nobel Prize where only one person ultimately wins, this type of selection process, although more demanding of the candidates, means from the point of entering the top ten, their every word and action will be scrutinized by countless people, but the exposure throughout the year is significant.

In a sense, just being able to enter this candidate system represents that one's work is acknowledged, and even that the research direction is valuable.

Especially in the current context, Qiao is not only famous in the academic community but also has a significant reputation in the business world.

How many people are making a living thanks to materials models developed by Qiao.

Once the battery technology using new elements is released in the future, another large group of companies will depend on Qiao's patents.

So, truly being recognized by the Xilin Mathematics Research Institute and getting into the top ten, even if you miss the grand prize, securing projects would be much simpler.

If such exposure can simplify horizontal research topics, let alone the vertical ones.

Given the current preferential treatment towards that figure in Xi Lin Mathematical Research Institute by the nation, making the list might help one secure previously unattainable national or ministerial-level projects, especially for those researchers aged between thirty and forty, it's a rare opportunity.

You must know that the competition for various project applications is fierce.

What many do not realize is that age thirty-five is also a threshold in the domestic research field because below this age, one can apply for the Young Scientists Fund, competing for projects with peers also under thirty-five who are fresh Ph.D. graduates.

Once past thirty-five, a researcher may still only be a lecturer in a university, but to apply for the same level of projects, they must compete with countless established Master's and Doctoral Advisors.

Now with the emergence of the Qiaoze Natural Science Award, it provides these individuals with another potential opportunity for exposure.

As for those who have already made a name for themselves in Huaxia's academic circles, the actions of Xining Mathematical Research Institute probably brought them the greatest shock...

Really, many of them were still hopeful that Qiao would bring home the Nobel Prize and refresh the record for the youngest Nobel laureate. However, he completely deviated from expectations, and his series of actions is clearly aimed at relegating the Nobel Prize to obsolescence.

This makes the situation very chaotic...

Although the Qiaoze Natural Science Award sounds prestigious, you can't really award it to yourself, can you?

This is too avant-garde, leaving many of the big names feeling lost.

Thus, in the small courtyard of Xilin University of Technology, Qiao Ze's usually quiet mobile phone became somewhat lively that day.

Although few people knew this number, there were always some who could get through.

"Qiao Ze, are you really not planning to accept the award?"

"Hmm."

"This... it's a pity..."

"Are you talking about the prize money?"

"Huh?"

"Never mind, the essence of prize money is still currency, currency can be prize money, and it can also be compensation."

"Ah? Compensation?"
