early morning.

The exit of a subway station in Shanghai.

A man in a suit took out his mobile phone and was about to call for a car to ask for an appointment and send him to the company. However, after opening the app, he was surprised to find that there was no car nearby.

"Strange, why don't you have a car?"

Are there so many people taking a taxi today?

Hearing this, the man standing next to him said with a smile.

"Didn't you hear? There will be a general meeting these days. The main roads in the second ring road are basically sealed. "

"Road blocked? Why don't I know? "

" there must be SMS notifications. Didn't you pay attention to them? But don't you see any cars on the road? "

On hearing this, the man in suit raised his head and was shocked.

"It's true that there's not a car in the sleeper slot?!"

"Otherwise? Just wait for the bus these days. "

Hearing the conversation between the two, an elderly man standing nearby seemed to be getting into the topic strangely.

"What kind of meeting, young man? How could I not have heard of it? "

"Centennial Physics Conference These days, there are penguins on the Weibo. How long hasn't you been online? "

"Centennial Physics Conference? Oh, I don't study physics. What do I focus on What's more, this thing is more lively than the Nobel Prize ceremony? "

"Ha ha, ten Nobel prize awarding ceremonies are not necessarily more lively than it! Do you know what this meeting means? More than 100000 physicists from all over the world come to Shanghai for a meeting! In addition to the exchange of the most cutting-edge physics topics in the world, the conference will also publish the physics problems of the century! It is said that anyone who can solve any of these 100 problems will get at least one million RMB as bonus. "

At the hearing of this sentence, the people standing next to me were immediately shocked.

"Trough! So much money?! "

"More?" The man with glasses smiled and said enviously, "maybe! But I think a million dollars is the same thing for those who can solve these problems. "

Besides, I'm afraid that the annual salary paid by the Institute of physics of Jinling Institute of higher learning for some senior researchers is more than that.

Like the Nobel Prize.

Compared with the bonus itself, everyone is more about the honor behind the bonus.

Especially for a scholar.

With fame, is money something to worry about?

It's no joke that knowledge is the only thing in the world that doesn't have to consider inflation.

"But it's just a conference Is it not so grand? "

Hearing this layman's speech, the man in glasses immediately refuted.

"What do you know! This is the moment when our Chinese Physics circle stands on the top of the world. Can there be any accident? What's more, even the elder has come from Shangjing. Is it too much traffic control? "

Even the elder is coming?!

The expressions on the faces of the passers-by around the neighborhood can be said to be different.

Although the vast majority of people don't quite understand what this academic conference on physics in the next 100 years means to the world and China, it's really important if even the eldest master wants to visit Shanghai

……

It's been about half a month since Lu Zhou came to Shanghai.

In the past half a month, he has been busy with this world-class physics summit called "Centennial physics".

It's finally the day when the meeting begins.

Looking at the sea of people outside the International Convention and Exhibition Center, land and boat have a sense of relief instead.

Looking at more and more people gathered in the square, Lu Zhou then looked at the person in charge of the conference organization office next to him and said.

"Open the venue."

The head of the Conference Organization Department reminded me.

"But It's still half an hour away. "

Looking out of the window, Lu Zhou said with a smile.

"I can't tell you how many people I have to stand outside in half an hour. Now I'll start the security check, and then I'll be able to relax. Remember, we are engaged in academic work. Don't be too formalistic. Let's get ready to welcome scholars from afar. "

"Yes, Mr. President."

The man nodded and turned away in a hurry.

The gate of the Convention and Exhibition Center has been opened, and the isolation belt has opened a circle of zigzag maze in the second half of the square in front of the Convention and Exhibition Center to guide the crowd into the security inspection channel in turn.

Before that, although there were major international conferences held here, such a physics summit was the first time for Shanghai International Convention and Exhibition Center.

Even the Shanghai International Convention and Exhibition Center, even the city of Shanghai, has never gathered so many physicists.Even when Lu Zhou held the report meeting here at the beginning, it was a lot worse than that.

But fortunately, the staff here have experienced a long time, so they didn't seem to be in a hurry. All the work was going on in an orderly manner.

It's eight o'clock in the morning.

It's time for the venue to officially open.

The flow of people at the gate of the International Convention and Exhibition Center has reached the peak, looking at the dark area.

The world's top physicists, as well as the elites working in the world's top physics institutions and research institutions, are gathered here at the moment.

It's no exaggeration to say that if you pick up a stone and throw it out, even if you don't hit the Nobel Prize winner, you can definitely hit a Nobel Prize candidate.

Walk in the hall on the first floor of the main stadium.

Looking at the physicists with different colors and people coming and going, Lu Zhou said with emotion.

"I didn't expect so many people to study physics."

Luo Wenxuan said with a smile.

"In fact, it's not much. It's spread all over the world, and one person can divide into more than 1000 square kilometers."

"I'm afraid you're counting Antarctica."

"Haha, Antarctica also has scientific research stations."

"Then you can calculate the area of the moon and Mars."

"It makes sense Wait, Mars All of a sudden, Luo Wenxuan looked at the boat in surprise. "What's the situation of Mars? Isn't it --"

"Shhh."

The boat raised its forefinger and made a silent gesture.

Seeing his eyes, Luo Wenxuan immediately understood and nodded.

"I see. I see."

"Just know it, don't speak up," Lu Zhou said, looking at elder martial brother Luo as if he had something to say What's the matter? "

And Lu Zhou on the line of sight, Luo Wenxuan embarrassed smile, reached out to touch the back of the head spoon.

"No, it's nothing. I just want to say something about Niubi..."

Lu Zhou: "..."

Although the venues of the International Convention and Exhibition Center have been opened, the opening play of the "Centennial physics" conference, the seminar of century question, will not start for a while.

Walking in the hall on the first floor, Lu Zhou and Luo Wenxuan wandered casually in the poster exhibition area.

There are a lot of people here, and they are very crowded.

The whole hall on the first floor has been filled with posters, and each person can get a poster booth of less than five square meters.

Although the conditions are limited, no one complains.

As the world's top physics summit, it is the best opportunity for some new people who have not yet made achievements to show their theories to the world and communicate with their peers face to face.

Whether it's a fledgling master's degree student or a famous top-ranking bull in physics, there is no identity difference here, or everyone's identity is the same.

That is the scholar.

Because of the huge flow of people, in addition to the problem of congestion, it also caused a certain security risk.

However, as for security, land boats are not very worried.

All the scholars in the field are famous people in physics, and even a piece of paper and a paper clip will go through at least two security checks.

In addition, Wang Peng and his colleagues are scattered around without worrying about any safety problems. Lu Zhou can enjoy the academic feast.

The posters displayed in the hall on the first floor are very interesting.

Although the academic views on many posters are still a little immature, some interesting brain holes are hard to see in formal academic conferences.

And these interesting ideas are sometimes even more useful for land boats than for ordinary academic conferences. And if you see interesting posters, Lu Zhou doesn't mind stopping and asking the young people next to the booth for a few words, saying that the top physics bull in the future will be born here.

After all, everyone came from the school days.

Walking around the hall on the first floor has been a whole circle, Luo Wenxuan raised his watch and looked at it, reminding him.

"The meeting is about to begin."

"Don't worry. There are fifteen minutes left."

Looking at the expression on Lu Zhou's face, Luo Wenxuan raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.

"You didn't prepare it in advance?"

"There's nothing to prepare. It's not an academic report," Lu Zhou continued with a faint smile. "Don't worry, I know."
