The Barefoot Doctor in the Courtyard Chapter 389 Wins the Grand Prize
Sweden, Stockholm, Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
"Hey, friends from the East, you've won the jackpot, hey, hey"
Habib Poulsen held the phone and heard no sound from the other party. He hung up the phone in confusion and scratched his head.
Next to him, Norman Baddeley, executive member of the Nobel Prize Committee of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, saw his strange expression and quickly asked loudly: "Poulsen, what's going on?"
Habib Poulsen raised his head and said helplessly: "Maybe the signal is not good and the phone is disconnected. You also know how bad the lines from Sweden to the East are now."
"How could it be interrupted at such a critical moment! According to the regulations of the Nobel Prize Committee, we must notify the winner as soon as possible." Norman Baddeley said: "You can call back now."
In the duty room of Jingcheng Rolling Steel Hospital.
When Dean Jiao saw Li Donglai put down the phone, he quickly asked: "What happened? The phone was disconnected? What did that person say just now?"
Li Donglai Xiaoxiong spread his hands: "He said I won a prize, a big prize."
"What?"
Dean Jiao was also devastated by the news.
He knows what winning means.
A while ago, Dr. Liu Mingliang from the surgical clinic went to the bank in Xinjiekou to deposit money and bought a passbook with prizes. As a result, a week later, he was among the winners in the newspaper, which cost him a full five yuan.
The doctors in the hospital were all envious. That afternoon, a long queue formed in front of the bank in Xinjiekou.
Li Dongcai has never been out since he came back from the port city. How could he win the lottery in Sweden?
Dean Jiao lowered his head and looked at his notebook, feeling a little embarrassed. How should he remember this?
Xiao Zhang, who was on duty, was also a little confused: "Doctor Li, have you saved money abroad?"
Li Donglai said: "I think so. The key is that they don't accept RMB either."
Just then, the "ding-ding-ring" phone rang again.
Li Dong came to see Dean Jiao and saw that Dean Jiao picked up his notebook again, so he picked up the phone.
Seeing that the call was connected, Habib Poulsen quickly made a K sign to Norman Baddeley and said hurriedly: "Hello, Dr. Li, the thing is like this, this is the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
Habib Poulsen, just now, through the vote of all members of the Nobel Committee, in order to thank you for researching the second-generation cephalosporin and the groundbreaking ideas used in the research process, the Nobel Committee decided to award this year’s Nobel Prize
The Prize in Physiology or Medicine is awarded to you."
Li Donglai listened clearly this time, nodded and said: "Thank you for your work, I am deeply honored."
Habib Poulsen: "The award ceremony will be held in Stockholm, Sweden, on December 10. I hope you can attend on time. Of course, taking into account objective factors, I will contact you through diplomatic channels after finishing this call.
You send out invitations."
Li Donglai said: "Thank you for the invitation, but I don't know if my travel expenses to attend the meeting will be reimbursed."
The rolling mills are not rich either, so they can save whatever they can.
Unexpectedly, Habib Poulsen did not find Li Donglai's question very abrupt. On the contrary, many of the winners who were immersed in research did not have well-off financial conditions.
The Nobel Committee has long considered this issue.
Habib Poulsen: "Don't worry, everything will be reimbursed. In fact, if you need it, we can provide 20,000 Swedish kronor as travel expenses."
Li Donglai: "That's not necessary."
He was not short of travel expenses, he just asked casually.
"That's it. We look forward to seeing you in Stockholm in December. If there is nothing else, I need to hang up the phone. To be honest, today's long-distance call has used up our Royal Academy of Sciences' monthly quota.
"
When Habib Poulsen saw that Li Donglai had no other questions, he hung up the phone.
Li Donglai suddenly thought of a question, chuckled and said: "Mr. Habib Poulsen, I heard that you can bring guests to the Nobel Prize Ceremony and dinner. Is there a limit on the number of guests?"
In his memory, at the earliest Nobel awards ceremony and banquet, there was no limit on the number of guests brought by the winners.
Winners can freely invite their relatives and friends to participate. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is very wealthy and does not care about the entertainment fees.
Until Camilo José Serra, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1989, attended a dinner party with a total of 68 people including his neighbors, village chief, relatives and friends from his village.

That battle directly frightened the Nobel Prize Organizing Committee.
That’s why the number of people began to be restricted. Even Nobel laureates were not allowed to invite more than 14 family members.
Habib Poulsen was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Li Donglai would ask this question.
In his opinion, this cannot be a problem at all, because how many friends can a scientist have?
He smiled and said: "Doctor Li Donglai, our committee does not have relevant regulations. You only need to report the number of people to us before departure, and we will send you a sufficient number of air tickets according to the number of people."
Li Donglai couldn't help but applaud in his heart. It was indeed like this. This time he was going to eat the big dog.
He suppressed his smile and said, "Thank you, your Nobel Prize Organizing Committee is really generous."
After Habib Poulsen hung up the phone, he looked at Norman Baddeley with a confused expression: "Baddeley, that Oriental boy said that we are rich, what does that mean?"
Norman Baddeley spread his hands and said: "Who knows! Maybe it's the humor that belongs only to the Orientals. As you know, people there are very reserved. Okay, don't think too much, we have already notified the winner.
, now the news can be released. Media reporters from all over the world are waiting for this year’s list of winners! I believe this time, they will be shocked.”
Habib Poulsen nodded heavily: "Yes, in fact, even I did not expect that this organizing committee would award the medical award to an Oriental.
This year’s contenders in the field of physiology and medicine are all powerful and powerful men, such as Professor Harry Kempton Crick of the University of Paris, Professor Giuseppe Bredefeld of Trinity College,
In particular, Professor Kogu Ichiro of the University of Tokyo in Japan was considered a favorite before the vote. His research on cell structure can be regarded as groundbreaking.
And this Dr. Li Donglai is said to be just a doctor, not even a professor.
It's really incredible.
"
Norman Baddeley said with a 'haha' smile: "Not only you, I'm afraid those professors who voted didn't know that they would change their minds before the voting officially started."
Seeing that his colleague seemed to know something, Habib Poulsen quickly pulled him aside and asked in a low voice: "Baddeley, you were in charge of counting votes during the voting, so you must know some inside information."
Habib Poulsen wasn't just out of curiosity; in fact, he was a part-time informant.
On weekdays, I make some extra money by providing some "man bites dog" news to a local third-rate tabloid.
If we can get the inside information on the voting this time, we will definitely make a fortune.
Norman Baddeley smiled and said: "Anyway, after the list is announced, this matter will spread, so I won't hide it from you. It was Professor Jonas Salk who proposed the significance of second-generation cephalosporins.
The drug itself, but in the research process, Dr. Li Donglai adopted a medical analysis method called lens, allowing medical researchers to grasp the essence of the problem more clearly during the process of studying pathology."
"Professor Jonas Salk is the one who invented the spinal polio vaccine. No wonder the medical professors who voted changed their minds." Habib Poulsen pursed his lips when he heard the name.
, said nothing again.
Jonas Salk was an experimental medicine scientist and virologist who made few contributions to medicine. The safe and effective "Cristatal Polio Vaccine" is one of the more famous.
But it is precisely the "Cristatal Polio Vaccine" that has saved millions of children around the world.
At the same time, Jonas Salk also refused to charge patent fees for the "Cristae Polio Vaccine", which means that all countries in the world can manufacture the "Cristae Polio Vaccine".
This gave him great prestige in the international medical community, and even the older generation of medical scientists had to look at him sideways.
Well, Li Donglai was actually valued by Professor Jonas Salk. This is big news.
Can it be sold for at least 1,000 Swedish kronor?
In the duty room of the steel rolling mill hospital in Beijing, Dean Jiao saw Li Donglai put down the phone and quickly asked: "How is it? What happened?"
Li Donglai smiled and said: "Lao Jiao, do you want to travel to Stockholm, Sweden? The kind where you can have dinner with the royal family."
"What?" Dean Jiao was stunned for a long time before unbelievable surprise appeared on his face. He stepped forward and held Li Donglai's hand tightly: "You, you, you actually won the Nobel Prize?"
He comes from a major and is very concerned about the news in the international medical community. Recently, the most popular news is that Professor Ichiro Kogu of the University of Tokyo has vowed to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
The Japanese media made a big splash, praising Ichiro Kogu as the youngest genius medical scientist in East Asia.
After the surprise, Dean Jiao had doubts in his mind: "Donglai, in recent years, due to the lack of many achievements in the domestic medical field, the application for the Nobel Prize has been stopped. Who recommended you this time?"
Li Donglai understood what Dean Jiao meant. What does not have many achievements mean? Doesn't synthetic bovine insulin count?
In fact, synthetic bovine insulin is fully qualified to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
It was only due to the shady practices of some people in China that the application was finally rejected during the review because it did not meet the application conditions.
Hearing what Dean Jiao said, a name suddenly appeared in Li Donglai's mind - Buffett!
No wonder, when Buffett saw him recently, he always asked him if he had received calls from abroad.
It turned out to be waiting for me here!
Li Donglai looked at Dean Jiao and said, "I can't tell you the specific situation yet. Once I understand it clearly, I will write a report and submit it."
After saying that, Li Donglai added: "Would you like to report it to your superiors?"
"That's right, your award this time is not a matter of one person. Our steel rolling mill, and even the ministries and commissions all have contributed." Dean Jiao picked up the phone and asked the post and telecommunications office to transfer the call to the ministries and commissions.
"Mr. Zhou, this is Xiao Jiao. I have a big happy event to report to you. What, you have already been informed by the diplomatic department? Yes, that's right. Dr. Li Donglai was standing next to me, and I handed him the phone.
"
After Dean Jiao finished speaking, he covered the phone, looked at Li Donglai, and whispered: "Mr. Zhou already knows and asked you to answer the phone!"
Li Donglai answered the phone and looked serious: "Mr. Zhou, this is Li Donglai. Yes, I just received a call from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences."
"Okay, okay, don't worry, no one can take away this honor. I will report it to the superiors right away." Mr. Zhou nodded happily and put down the phone.
Li Donglai on the other side of the phone was also relieved. Only people like them could understand the meaning contained in Mr. Zhou's words.
After putting down the phone, Li Donglai did not go back directly to the courtyard, but rode his bicycle to the laboratory of Beijing University.
Without any surprises, Buffett is still busy in the laboratory.
Seeing Li Donglai push the door open and come in, he waved to Li Donglai: "Li, come here and take a look. I seem to have found a solution to the genetic defect of trisomy 21?"
Solve the defect? Li Donglai was stunned for a moment. Even in later generations, the trisomy 21 gene defect can only be detected and cannot be solved.
He quickly stepped forward and picked up Buffett's solution.
After just looking at it for two seconds, Li Donglai shook his head, pointed at the data above and said, "Ba, look, did you make a mistake in your calculation here?"
Buffett quickly lay down on the table and recalculated. Ten minutes later, he threw down his pencil in annoyance, put his head in his hands, and said in frustration: "Are those people with Down syndrome really hopeless?"
Li Donglai patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "One day, when gene therapy develops to a high enough level, we will be able to cure them. Before that, all we can do is find a cheap and feasible way.
Detect the trisomy 21 gene in fetuses and screen them.”
Buffett sighed, nodded and said, "Yes, the road has to be walked step by step. You don't have to comfort me. I know what to do."
Buffett threw away the manuscript and was about to continue working when he was stopped by Li Donglai.
"Ba, did you recommend me to the Nobel Organizing Committee?"
Buffett raised his head and stared at Li Donglai: "How do you know?"
After saying this, he became ecstatic and hugged Li Donglai's arms: "Did you really win the Nobel Prize?"
Li Donglai nodded: "Yes, I just received the call. By the way, why did you recommend me?"
Buffett let go of Li Donglai, sat back on the chair, and said with a smile: "Don't ever think that I am doing this for you alone."
