Chapter 359: Huffman Award

The second week after the presentation, the venue was also the auditorium of Humboldt University.
Wearing a formal suit and tie, standing on the same podium, Lu Zhou slowly adjusted his breathing, still surging in his chest.
To be precise, it should be called a podium at this moment.
On the curtain behind him, he listed his research achievements in the field of chemistry.
When he came to the stage, Professor Klaus Millen, the president of the German Chemical Society, read the award speech with a calm voice.
"... From modified pdms films to hollow carbon spheres for the inhibition of polysulfide diffusion, from imperfect hs-1 materials to hs-2 materials that completely solve the technical bottleneck of lithium-sulfur batteries, and today's electrochemical interfaces Structural theoretical model. "
"He did really meaningful things for our world and our civilization through his knowledge."
"Few scholars have been able to make such a significant achievement at this age. Even retrospectively, I can count no more than ten names."
"Now that the theoretical model of the electrochemical interface structure has been completed, we will be able to achieve greater progress and results with its help. We have reasons to believe that in the near future, it will become an indispensable part of our theory. A cornerstone. "
After a pause, Professor Klaus Millen raised the volume and announced the decision of the German Chemical Society with a humbling voice.
"After discussions with the German Chemical Society, we decided to award Professor Lu Zhou the Huffman Medal in recognition of his contribution to the theoretical chemistry community."
"At this moment, let us applaud him."
Professor Murren's voice dropped, and applause thundered in the venue.
Sitting under the stage, Professor Eite smiled and clapped his hands, and gave a thumb to Lu Zhou on the stage.
Faltins, who was sitting next to him, had a lack of interest. Sitting among a group of boring people, the old man couldn't help even hitting Hatch.
However, when applause rang, the arrogant old Germanic man clapped his hands symbolically.
The Burbaki school pursues a glorious isolation of other disciplines. But even if aside from the other disciplines in that theoretical model, there is still a wonderful mathematical beauty in the rigorous argumentation process.
The applause is just for this part.
Faltings reluctantly admits that this part is at his disposal.
Meanwhile, on the podium.
The medal and certificate were handed over to Lu Zhou, and the gray-haired old man smiled and stretched out his right hand.
"Congratulations, Professor Lu Zhou."
The Huffman Medal, established by the German Chemical Society in 1902, stipulates that as long as scholars who make outstanding contributions in the field of chemistry, regardless of nationality can receive this medal. The medal is awarded from time to time, the prize is a certificate, and a gold medal.
As for the bonus, it is not much, only 10,000 euros, but the courtesy is light.
Lu Zhou is the first Chinese scholar to receive this honor since the establishment of the award, and the youngest of all the winners.
Because of the existence of these two meanings, the meaning behind this honor is even more extraordinary.
Holding a medal and a certificate in his arms, Lu Zhou and Professor Mirren shook hands and expressed their gratitude.
"Thank you."
Professor Millen smiled and said in a funny tone.
"You're welcome, this is your honor."
The applause ceremony came to an end with boiling applause.
However, as part of the celebration, the German Chemical Society's congratulations to Lu Zhou did not end.
In accordance with the tradition of awarding in academia, the dance is followed by the ball.
In the evening, at the Westin Bolin Hotel not far from Humboldt University, the German Chemical Society arranged a celebratory banquet for him, and members of the society were basically invited.
In addition to celebrating the birth of a new Huffman Medal winner, the main purpose of this banquet is to provide a place for exchanges among peers who usually have a closed social circle.
However, as the winner of the Huffman Medal, Lu Zhou is undoubtedly the star of the banquet.
After arriving, many people came to him with champagne, and congratulated him.
"... Hua Guo is a beautiful country. I have been there many times. I have been to Shanghai Jiaotong University the most. The library there impressed me. It will always be full before closing. In my opinion Come, a nation that loves books and knowledge is worthy of respect. "Standing in front of Lu Zhou, Professor Mirren, who had previously presented the medal to Lu Zhou on the podium, was chatting with him in a friendly tone.
An outstanding scholar usually has many identities. As the president of the German Chemical Society, Professor Mirren is also the dean of the German Academy of Sciences, the director of the Max Planck Institute of Polymer Research, and the honor of Shanghai Jiaotong University. professor.
Whether it was a social rhetoric or not, at least his tone was sincere.
Lu Zhou said with a smile: "I'm glad you like my hometown. If possible, I can take you to Jinling University. There is my alma mater, I bet there is a more beautiful place."
"Haha, please take me to see it," Professor Millen raised his eyebrows with interest, and said with a smile, "There must be something worth learning for us to cultivate such a brilliant scholar."
Raising the goblet in his hand, Lu Zhou and Professor Mirren touched the glass and smiled, "Sure."
Although he is not sure whether Professor Mirren can get any inspiration from Jinda's education model, it is always a good thing for his alma mater to be able to exchange experiences with top foreign universities and learn from each other.
As a handsome senior, he had to do something for his schoolmates.
...
At the banquet, he was drunk with a lot of wine, and even though Lu Zhou was okay with the amount of wine, he couldn't handle it.
After getting a taxi at the door, Lu Zhou's first thing after returning to the Bernitz Hotel was to take a hot shower in the bathroom.
The wine was washed away. Although it did not completely dispel the drunkenness, it felt quite comfortable.
Throwing his clothes into the laundry box, Lu Zhou lay on the bed, facing the empty room, playing with the golden medal in his hand.
Suddenly feeling a bit lonely, he opened the applet in his phone and sighed softly.
"Xiao Ai, my master is a little dizzy now, and I'm going to sleep right away. But before sleeping, do I always feel like I forgot something, or should you think for me?"
Xiao Ai didn't reply immediately, probably thinking.
After a while, a line popped up on the phone screen.
Xiao Ai: [Master, I thought about it, you forgot to share the joy with your fans! (??????) ??】
Lu Zhou: ...?
Huh?
like……
I really forgot about it.
Thinking of this, with a bit of drunken Luzhou on his face, he suddenly embarrassed and smiled.
This……
Sorry ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Although the Huffman Medal is not as well-known outside the academic world as the Crawford Award or the Ziegler Award jointly issued by the German Chemical Society and American Chemical Society Its status in the chemical community is not low at all.
After all, this award is not issued every year.
Considering that "things are rare and precious," this medal's influence in academia is even stronger than the Adams Chemistry Award.
If you think about it this way, it's really impossible to share this joy with your fans.
Taking a photo of Huffman medals and certificates, Lu Zhou edited a scarf.
It happened to be a 10,000 Euro bonus. Ten Warwicks were drawn last time, and ten Apples this time.
After clicking Send, Lu Zhou threw the phone on the nightstand, yawned, and rolled over to sleep.
