Chapter 131 The Honorary Professorship Ceremony of the University of Cambridge(1/2)
In the Cambridge University Auditorium!
The auditorium is arranged like a cinema. In front of the stage is a rectangular stage with bright lights, and under the stage are neatly arranged rows of seats.
At this time, the auditorium was filled with two princes, Rud and Val, sat in the crowd.
Valdow: "Rud, how many people do you say today have won the title of honorary professor?"
"How do I know this?" Rude shook his head slightly and said, "By the way, how long has it been since we saw excellence?"
"It's almost half a year!" Val thought for a while and said, "Last time I saw him at the Nobel Prize ceremony."
Val is a Swedish prince, but he is not a prince with inheritance rights, so he also attended the last Nobel Prize ceremony and sat down.
Zhuoyue chatted with him for a while at the subsequent dinner.
"Did you ask him where the research went?" Rud asked.
Only Zhuoyue knows the research progress in the institute, while the rest of the people only know the approximate progress, but don’t know the specific progress.
Apart from excellence, David knew the most, but he didn't know everything.
David is the Chinese whom Zhuoyue poached from BMW in Germany. As his assistant, he was in charge of his time when Zhuoyue was not in the institute.
David is a Chinese and has a close relationship with Zhuoyue. Zhuoyue gives him a high salary, so he naturally won't tell the progress of the two Princes Institute.
Val said: "I asked, but he didn't say it!"
"You said he really won't be able to develop a smart car within two years!" Rude said worriedly.
"No!" Val said uncertainly: "Other companies only have researched for several years, or even more than ten years, to achieve research results. Excellence cannot be developed within two years!"
"But you forget that he is excellence, the youngest winner of the Fields Medal and Nobel Prize in Physics, is there anyone else in the company like this?"
"None of their project leaders are the Fields Medal and Nobel Prize winners in physics."
"So, we can't look at him with common sense, and, you know, the research progress in the institute has exceeded half of the time."
Speaking of this, Rude said with a serious look on his face: "Maybe he can really develop a smart car within two years."
Val couldn't believe it and said, "Is it possible?"
Rude nodded affirmatively and said, "I am fifty percent sure that it is very likely."
"What about fifty percent left?" Val asked.
"Fifty percent is already a high affirmation." Rude said: "The remaining fifty percent is full of unknowns."
"Hey..." Val sighed: "Why did we agree to his request at that time? If he really developed smart cars within two years, we would only have 1.40% of the shares, and the rest would be outstanding."
"Who could have thought of this!" Rud shook his head regretfully, "We all think of him too simply. This is a genius who cannot be used to argue with the usual principles."
"Well!" Val nodded, "If he really researched smart cars within two years, we would really only take 1.40% of the shares?"
"What do you think?" Rud asked.
"Of course it's impossible!" Val smiled and said: "Smart cars are huge profits, and they are a blank area in the market. As long as they are researched, they can make money no matter what they do."
Anyone can see that as long as smart cars are researched, they will make huge profits. In the face of such benefits, everyone is very moved.
But the research has not been released yet, and their relationship with Excellence is pretty good. Before the last step, they still want to handle this matter peacefully.
At this time, a young man in a suit walked onto the stage with a microphone and said, "Welcome to the honorary professor ceremony of Cambridge University. I am Simeon Rhedi, the host of this ceremony."
"As one of the most famous universities in the world, Cambridge University invites many senior scholars from around the world to become honorary professors at Cambridge University every year..."
He briefly introduces the history of honorary professors at Cambridge University.
After a moment he said, "Now, the scholars who have won the honorary professor will be invited to the venue!"
Soon, a team of people came in.
Val said in surprise: "Rud, it's outstanding!"
"Yes!" Rud nodded at Zhuoyue who entered the venue.
Valde: "Actually, I can understand that Excellence is no longer teaching in Cambridge. With his current achievements, it is normal for the school to give him the title of honorary professor."
"Yeah!" Rud nodded. This is the tradition of Cambridge University, and every professor who teaches in Cambridge.
If a professor is a well-known academic professor, he will be awarded the title of honorary professor after leaving Cambridge.
Of course, the school will also invite scholars from other countries or their own countries around the world to become honorary professors at Cambridge University.
"Next, I will introduce every scholar who has won honorary professors."
"The first place, excellence, I think you are familiar with it. The youngest winner of the Fields Medal and Nobel Prize in Physics in history is only twenty-four years old this year..."
"Papapapa..." As soon as the words finished, warm applause rang out below.
"Second..."
After introducing the honorary professors, he also introduced the school leaders present.
He said: "Next, please invite Mr. Stephen Tup, President of Cambridge University, to speak on stage."
An old white man in a suit and snow-white hair walked onto the stage.
This is the first time that Zhuoyue has seen the president of Cambridge University, but he is very clear about his basic situation.
Stephen Tup, the first non-British president of Cambridge University in history, also has a Chinese name, Du Siqi.
Zhuoyue was puzzled why he had a Chinese name? After all, he had never lived or worked in China. What's the use of having a Chinese name, but no one told him the answer.
Du Siqi stood at the podium and said, "I'm glad today is another annual honorary professor ceremony. I'm even happier. Among our honorary professors, there are the youngest winners of the Fields Medal and Nobel Prize in Physics in history."
As he said that, he looked at Zhuoyue and smiled, "Professor Zhuoyue, I am very reluctant to leave the school. If you can work in the school all the time, I can give up my position as principal to you."
"Haha..." Zhuoyue smiled and said, "Principal, your body is still very strong, so you should keep working as the principal!"
Anyone could hear that Du Siqi was telling a joke, and he couldn't agree with a stubbornness.
Besides, even if Du Siqi really gave him the position of principal, he could not agree.
After all, he must return home.
"Since you insist on leaving, I can't force you to stay." Du Siqi said with a smile.
After saying that, he said to everyone: "Cambridge University is one of the world's top universities..."
He finished his speech for about half an hour.
The host walked up to the stage and said, "Next, please invite the principal to award each honorary professor a certificate, and please click the scholars who have their names on the stage."
"Excellent professor, received the title of honorary full professor!"
"Hu..." There was a burst of exclamation below.
Zhuoyue's body, who was about to get up, also paused for a moment, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Professor Chung-Ching has the highest position, while Honorary Professor is the highest title among the Honorary Professors, and is also called Senior Honorary Professors.
Zhuoyue thought he was only honored professor, but he did not expect to be honored full professor.
Just a little surprised, Zhuoyue walked onto the stage with a smile on his face.
With his achievements today, he was fully satisfied with the title of honorary full professor.
Honorary full professors from world-class universities like Cambridge have won world-class awards, such as the Fields Medal, Nobel Prize, Turing Prize, and Pulitzer Prize.
The people around who received honorary professors looked at Excellence enviously, while some shook their heads helplessly.
It is really a blow to people to be honored professors with excellence. People get honorary full professors, and they get only honorary professors.
But they have no choice. If they can win the Fields Medal or the Nobel Prize, they may also receive the honorary full professor title today.
However, academic achievement cannot be achieved through hard work. IQ and talent are indispensable. It is not a genius among geniuses, and it cannot reach the top level in academics.
Especially in mathematics and physics, ordinary geniuses cannot even get into the middle level. Only those geniuses that are rare in ten years can reach the middle level, geniuses that are rare in thirty years can reach the upper level, and geniuses that are rare in fifty years can reach the top level.
As for those of Newton and Einstein, it is rare to see in a century!
Zhuoyue walked onto the stage and shook hands with the principal. Then the principal took a red cover certificate from the student beside him and handed it to Zhuoyue. Zhuoyue took it with both hands. Finally, the two stood side by side to face the people in the audience.
"Papapapa..." There was warm applause below.
After shaking hands again, Zhuoyue stepped down. After that, the other scholars came to the stage to receive the award, but none of them won the honorary full professors, all of them were honorary professors.
"Next, please invite Professor Zhuoyue to speak on stage." The host said.
Zhuoyue walked onto the stage and stood in front of the podium and smiled: "I am very happy to be here, and I am also honored to be honored to be the honorary full professor from Cambridge University. This time in Cambridge was a very valuable time in my academic career. I have learned a lot of knowledge here..."
From November 2017 to February 1, 2019, Zhuoyue has been in England for more than a year. During this period, he has learned electromagnetics, quantum mechanics, field theory, statistical physics and relativity.
In England, he really made up for his physical shortcomings.
To go deeper, you need to find some top physics scholars to study.
After a long time, Zhuoyue smiled and said, "Although I left Cambridge University, I will definitely remember Cambridge University. This is a very precious growth stage in my academic career. In the future, I will continue to work hard!"
"Thank you, my speech is over."
"Smack it..."
After saying that, Zhuoyue stepped down, the host walked on stage and smiled: "I am very grateful to Professor Zhuoyue for his wonderful speech. The honorary professor ceremony of Cambridge University ended successfully!"
