Chapter 1329 The Reward for Breaking Through the Sky!

"WTF!!!"

"Damn!!!"

"One billion?!"

"Bunker! Has there ever been such a high bonus in the physics world?"

"Let's not talk about the physics world, even if you search all over the academic world, you can't find it!"

It is difficult for a discipline in the physics world that is far away from applications, even condensed matter physics, which is relatively closely related to applied science, to create such a large benefit in a short period of time.

Although there are also some wealthy people who have escaped from vulgar interests and occasionally donate some money to support basic scientific research, such a large sum is still unheard of.

Even at the exchange rate many years ago, 100 million RNB is a lot of money.

Not to mention that now, the fusion power stations in St. Petersburg, Cadarache, and Los Angeles have been completed one after another, and the inter-regional power grid traverses the Asian continent. The RMB exchange rate continues to strengthen under the support of the energy network. The exchange rate is no longer the same as before.

The gold content of this 100 million is as high as you can imagine.

The boiling atmosphere almost overturned the ceiling, and in the exhibition hall outside the conference hall and in the poster exhibition area, the boiling atmosphere was even more intense, just like an erupting volcano, igniting people's excitement and unbearable excitement. The emotion of belief and a faint desire in my heart.

Even though many people managed to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor, they were still taken aback by the generosity, and even let out an inelegant exclamation out of composure.

Lu Zhou, who was standing in the conference room, did not see the situation in the lobby of the convention center, but judging from the reactions of many scholars in the conference hall, the effect of 100 million was achieved.

Smiling slightly, Lu Zhou cleared his throat and continued to speak.

"Next, Professor Witten will announce the second question of the century question."

"Professor Edward Witten from Princeton is invited to come on stage!"

Nodding to Professor Edward Witten standing next to him, Lu Zhou gave up the microphone in his hand, and then walked down the stage gracefully.

The meeting of the century is still going on.

But there is no doubt that the limelight of the audience has been stolen by someone.

And it was snatched from the start.

The situation at the conference site was quickly spread all over the world through the network broadcast. Those scholars and people who were also paying attention to this century-old physics conference were shocked by the 100 million prize money.

A materials science laboratory at Stanford University.

A group of engineering men and women gathered in front of the computer to watch the live broadcast suddenly exclaimed.

"One hundred million! Xie Te, how many cryo-electron microscopes can this buy?"

"Dog! Why are these physicists so rich!"

"Is it too late to switch careers to study physics?"

"It's too late! Let's go! But speaking of it, this grand unified theory... Can anyone really get this 100 million?"

"I'm not particularly good at physics, but I know this thing is a problem that even Einstein can't solve! It's still too hard to solve!"

"And maybe... now it's not just Einstein who can't figure it out."

"How to say?"

"Do you think... If Lu Zhou knew the answer, would he offer a reward of 100 million for others to think about it? He created the unified theory of strong electricity. No one is closer to the unified theory than him, and no one knows it better than him. How difficult is this question..."

"Fuck, what do you say, it's almost unsolvable!"

Outside a classroom at Oxford University, a BBC reporter with a microphone hurriedly stopped a professor of physics who had just finished class, and asked the old man.

"Hello, are you paying attention to the ongoing Centennial Physics Conference?"

The professor said with a straight face.

"I have paid attention, although I originally planned to pay attention after class."

"……What does it mean?"

"Five minutes before the end of get out of class, there was a loud shout from the back row of the classroom. I thought there was an earthquake, but it turned out to be because of a bonus of 100 million yuan!" Speaking of this, the professor couldn't help cursing, " They don't even think about these brats, what does the high bonus have to do with them?"

The reporter sweated, "Okay...then what do you think of this 100 million bonus."

said the professor impatiently. "It's nothing to look at, it's a bonus that no one else gets."

"Would you consider adjusting your research direction?"

"I won't think about it."

"Why?"

"There is no reason, anyone who wants to do research can do so...if they think they have a chance to get this bonus!"

While the entire university circle was discussing the 100 million prize money, the opening ceremony of the Centennial Physics Conference was still going on, and in the following ninety-nine centuries, well-known top physics experts such as Witten and Wilczek Under the relay, one after another announced.

Among them are such popular frontier topics in physics as "Looking for Superparticles Predicted in Supersymmetry Theory" announced by Professor Witten, and "Exploring the Reasons for the Disappearance of Supernova Sites" announced by the famous astrophysicist James Peebles .

There are also physics such as "the genetic mechanism of sonoluminescence", "the instability mechanism of the helicon wave in the reaction-diffusion system", and "the many-body QED problem in the atomic system", which do not seem to be very popular, but are of great significance problem.

These propositions almost cover a series of fields from theoretical physics to astrophysics to condensed matter physics, etc., and cover the most popular and important branch directions in the whole physics, which are also promising to achieve results in this century. .

Although there are millions of rewards offered, as well as sponsorship from rich people and scientific research groups from all over the world, stimulating people's eyeballs and adrenal glands, in the end, none of the prizes exceeded the 100 million RMB mark.

During the entire meeting, apart from the physicists who were interested, the reporters who carried the cameras and microphones were the most excited.

Although they were still standing at the meeting, they had already prepared the headlines for tomorrow's news.

Many people are even ready to run, and now they are waiting for Lu Zhou to come out of this conference hall, throwing all the questions in their stomachs.

However, their expectations were doomed to fail.

Even if you squat until dark, don't even think about squatting until Professor Lu...

Turning off the wearable facial holographic projection system, Lu Zhou took a light silver necklace from his neck, stuffed it into his pocket, and walked out of the empty bathroom calmly.

Ever since he got this thing in a lottery from the system, he never worried about being blocked by reporters on the way.

At this moment, the phone in his pocket rang suddenly.

No need to guess, Lu Zhou knew who was calling, so he took out his phone and pressed the connect button.

"Hello?"

"Where are you?!"

Not surprisingly, Senior Brother Luo's fiery voice came over the phone immediately.

Lu Zhou: "It's already out, what's the matter?"

Luo Wenxuan was shocked.

"Fuck, why did you slip away? After a while, the Question of the Century will be announced, and there will be a speech at the end of the opening ceremony waiting for you to read."

Lu Zhou: "Aren't you in charge of that?"

Hearing this blah-blah speech, Luo Wenxuan vaguely felt something was wrong, and immediately asked the question that concerned him the most.

"What about the interview after the meeting?"

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly.

"……Thanks a lot."

Luo Wenxuan: "..."
