176 Just Be Hard
On the morning of the last day of the final winter camp, the closing ceremony came as scheduled.
Compared with the opening ceremony, the closing ceremony was at least 20 times grander.
The venue for the closing ceremony was also chosen at the grandest art museum in Jinan City.
Because his ranking was too high, Li Zheng was placed in the second row.
In front of him were special guests from many chemical societies.
Li Zheng originally wanted to fall asleep, but when he saw the closing ceremony agenda booklet, he became energetic.
The main thing is that here is the guest list, a shining name appears——
Ms. Xu Youyou.
China's first Nobel Prize winner in medicine.
Although it is a medicine award, artemisinin, which she has studied all her life, is essentially a colorless crystal with a molecular formula of c15h22o5.
It's a chemistry question.
Because of this, the Chemical Society did everything possible to invite Ms. Xu, who is in her 80s, not only to guide younger generations who are interested in this, but also to increase the visibility of this event.
Because of her arrival, Li Zheng did not doze off. He waited for a long time and finally waited for Ms. Xu's speech.
Even though she is old, her speech is not rigid, and she challenges a topic that is both timely and interesting——
"Chemistry in Chinese Medicine"
The content of the speech is not complicated.
To sum up, Chinese medicine is a great treasure house and should be explored with great efforts.
This is not only a medical matter, but also a chemical matter.
The artemisinin she discovered was just a starting point.
I hope that the students sitting here who aspire to become chemists can unearth more achievements that benefit mankind from this treasure house.
After the speech, the applause was unprecedentedly warm.
I believe there will really be some students who are ignited to take this path.
At this time, you might as well come up with a joke to calm down the panic.
[Xuehua Jingshi: My dream is to win the Nobel Prize in the Institute of Evolution.]
[After successfully entering Huayuan: I feel relaxed in Huayuan. I just think about how to change departments every day.]
After all, to achieve an achievement like Ms. Xu's, one must not only have high standards and good luck, but also have terrifying perseverance to hold on until the end.
After some more boring agenda, it was finally time to go on stage to receive the award.
As the top five, Li Zheng, Shi Yang and others were the first to take the stage to receive the award.
In previous years, this highest honor would be awarded by the leaders of the Chemical Society.
But today, Ms. Xu is here, and she will not be let go without giving her an award.
She was also a kind old scientist, so she took the stage with the music and was led by the etiquette staff all the way to Li Zheng, who was standing in the center.
Li Zheng straightened his body long ago.
Not angry or intimidating.
Very humble.
Ms. Xu smiled and picked up the medal belt.
Li Zheng also bowed his head slightly to accept the award.
Then, Ms. Xu gently shook hands with Li Zheng and patted his shoulder: "Come on."
"Yeah!" Before Li Zheng nodded, his eyes suddenly widened.
【Student movement detected.】

this……
Li Zheng held Ms. Xu's hand tightly.
How can you be willing to let go?
You must pass on the fire.
Ms. Xu tried to pull her hand out twice, but failed. At this time, she was a little confused: "This classmate?"
"I'm sorry..." Li Zheng felt guilty and let go, but he still couldn't bear to let it go and asked, "After you award the award...are you leaving immediately? I want...to ask you a little more..."
"I have to leave. I have other arrangements later." Ms. Xu was not angry at all. She also patted the back of Li Zheng's hand with her other hand. "It doesn't matter. You can ask now."
"Well..." Li Zheng panicked.
Question to a Nobel Prize winner?!
Damn it was so sudden.
What to ask?
In extreme panic.
Li Zheng had no choice but to activate all his thinking acceleration.
He thought about all the chemical problems related to medicine that he could think of.
I thought about it for 6 seconds.
Of course, I also sucked it for 6 seconds.
In the end, I thought of nothing.
But we can’t waste it like this anymore.
There's no other way, let's just talk.
"I noticed that you always use the word 'treasure house' in your description of traditional Chinese medicine." Li Zheng said bravely, "In other words, this part of knowledge is already static and difficult to develop.
What we can do is to use tools, including chemistry, to dig out piece by piece. Can I understand it this way?"
"..." Ms. Xu obviously had not considered this issue. After being sucked for a while, she replied, "I dare not say this. What I am sure of is that when it comes to Chinese medicine and chemistry, we still have a lot of knowledge.
Work can be done.”
"Then...can you give me some advice on the branch of 'phytochemistry'?"
Ms. Xu thought for a moment: "In order to fight malaria, we conducted experimental research on more than 200 traditional Chinese medicines. After more than 380 failures, we finally extracted the proven artemisinin. To use a loose metaphor, every disease is a
As long as we try enough locks, we can always find a key to unlock it, and there are many, many keys hidden in the treasure house of traditional Chinese medicine. Whether we can find it depends largely on determination.
and perseverance.”
Li Zheng was very excited after hearing this.
Although there are many controversies in traditional Chinese medicine, Ms. Xu is undoubtedly taking the most correct and least controversial path.
"Finally, there is a small question about..."
"..."
Another minute.
"The last little question, what do you think about..."
"..."
One more minute.
This time, Li Zheng sucked hard.
Three minutes later, he finally couldn't hold it any longer and swallowed back the endless questions.
Although I received a lot of weird looks.
But it's still worth it.
【Student Movement:49→58】
It wasn't easy, but the flames of fire finally came through.
I have learned 9 out of 13 points, and I have worked very hard.
After learning from Shi Yang, Wu Shu and Ms. Xu, Li Zheng's academic movement finally exceeded 50.
Having said that, Ms. Xu is obviously a big shot with 39 academic luck points, but the upper limit she can learn in the end is only 13 points.
Even if it is such a mysterious existence, it becomes more difficult to learn the later you go.
the other side.
Even though Ms. Xu was already giving awards to others, she still looked back at Li Zheng from time to time.
Some doubts, but also some recognition.
As a national champion.
In this way, it is not disappointing.
…
After the awards were given to the top five, Ms. Xu left the venue early and low-key because she still had meetings to attend.
At this point, Li Zheng's final expectations for this chemical competition have disappeared.
What awaits him will be a hell of chemistry questions that lasts for half a month.
Afterwards, a group of 10 people took turns going on stage to receive the award.
After watching the two groups, Li Zheng completely lost his energy and dozed off while hanging the gold medal.
After an unknown amount of time, he was woken up, pulled off stage, and surrounded by reporters and cameras.
At this time, Li Zheng was a little more melancholy than the day before, and he looked a bit like the late Yang Guo in Louis Koo's version of The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
