Nobel
Let's get to know Nobel first. Nobel was born in 1833. He was born in a very poor family in Stockholm. His father is an inventor and an engineer. His father and his mother got married on 1827. There are eight children in the Nobel family, and Nobel is the third in the family. But after my parents got married, my family was very poor. In the end, only Nobel and his three brothers survived. Nobel is very clever, but for some reasons at home, he dropped out of primary school. He and his brother went to his father's factory to help. When he helped in the factory, he gradually became interested in explosives.
Later, his father went to St. Petersburg, Russia alone. It was this trip to Russia that made my father start a business trip. After several years of struggle, his father finally succeeded. After his success, his father and family moved to St. Petersburg. There, I no longer have to worry about whether I can eat enough every day. My father began to teach himself some other things. What my father learned was called torpedo. Because his father's business was getting better and better, Nobel got the opportunity to attend a local aristocratic school.
Nobel was very talented, and with the education of his school teachers, he quickly mastered English, French, German and Russian. Later, he began to study science. He is very interested in chemistry. /kloc-when he was 0/8 years old, he went to the United States to study chemistry for four years, during which he also worked for the famous naval engineer Eriksson for some time. During this period, he gained a lot and accumulated a lot of experience. 1850, Nobel went to Paris alone to study with famous scientists. His teacher's invention is nitroglycerin, which is widely used now. However, at that time, Nobel's teacher thought nitroglycerin had great potential safety hazard, so he refused to use it. They want to find a safer explosive material, and he and his teacher have been working hard in this direction.
King of explosives
1895, Nobel's brother took over his father's estate in Sweden. When Nobel returned home at the end of the month, he found that the company had gone bankrupt. Nobel devoted all his energy to the development of explosives. He wants to know how to produce and use nitroglycerin explosives safely. But something happened that made Nobel feel sad. 1864, an accidental explosion occurred in a factory in Stockholm. The explosion killed five people, including Nobel's younger brother.
Nobel felt very sad. He has few relatives. A relative left him in pain like this. Therefore, he is more committed to the study of explosives. He wants to study a strong explosive, so that people can avoid accidents in the future. Later, after painstaking research, Nobel discovered that diatomite played a very amazing role in the development of explosives. As long as diatomite and nitroglycerin are mixed together, workers can be relatively safe when processing explosives. After many experiments and research by Nobel, he successfully applied for related patents for this formula in 1867.
Nobel studied nitroglycerin explosive, which was later widely used. Later, Nobel successfully developed collodion. Since then, Nobel devoted himself to the research of explosives, invented more than 100 explosives and applied for more than 200 patents. In addition to research, he also started a business-related career and became a very successful businessman. People called him the king of explosives at that time.
Set up the Nobel Prize
After enjoying people's praise and wealth, Nobel announced before his death that he would donate all his property and set up the Nobel Prize. At first, Swedish society despised Nobel's behavior, because they thought that Nobel, a Swede, had so much wealth in his hand, but made such a move that did little help to Sweden. After some twists and turns, that is, the second anniversary of Nobel's death, the Nobel Prize was successfully established and operated smoothly.
When Nobel died, he left 365,438+0 million kronor. After so many years, Nobel's fund once went bankrupt. However, the Nobel Foundation Association is good at handling these funds, and under their coordinated operation, the number of Nobel Funds is increasing. Nobel's fund has increased from the previous 3 1 10,000 to more than 3 billion.
Because Nobel's fund association has been operating and his money has been flowing, his money has been increasing. The Swedish government, which is responsible for awarding the Nobel Prize, will also contribute to the award of the Nobel Prize, so we can really call the Nobel Fund an inexhaustible fund. The Nobel Prize is constantly increasing because of the operation of capitalists and government subsidies, so it basically does not exist on the day when the Nobel Prize Fund is issued.
