Title: "The Forerunner of the Gunpowder Revolution: Nobel and His Ideals of Peace".
In 1867, in a laboratory in Stockholm, Sweden, Alfred Nobel stared at the pile of experimental materials in front of him. He muttered to himself, "I must find a safe way to use this great power for human progress." "This brilliant inventor and chemical engineer is the father of modern explosives.
In February, the assistant handed over a newspaper with the latest news that a mine blasting accident had caused several people due to the instability of explosives in the early days. Nobel took the newspaper with a solemn face, "We must change this status quo and ensure that this power is used correctly." ”
In the days that followed, Nobel spent no time researching improved explosives. After countless trials and failures, he finally succeeded in inventing the first oil explosive, and further developed a more stable and safer Danamat explosive. When new explosives were widely used in the industrial field, greatly promoting the progress of railway construction, mining and other fields, Nobel was not satisfied with this.
My invention was meant to benefit humanity, not to cause destruction. Nobel wrote in a letter to a friend. In order to put this idea into practice, he established the Nobel Prize in his will to recognize those who have made a career in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and for the cause of world peace.
At the end of the story, we suggest to our readers that technological progress is a double-edged sword, which can bring both good and bad to humanity. Therefore, while pursuing scientific and technological innovation, we should always maintain the spirit of humanitarianism and strive to make scientific and technological development serve the peace and development of all mankind.
