Chapter 1330

With the announcement of the century question, the Centennial Physics Conference officially opened.

After a night's brewing, the news about the opening ceremony of the previous day was finally published one after another in people's eager sight.

Shanghai news: "the highest prize academic award of this century was born in Shanghai International Convention and Exhibition Center!"

Washington Times: "is it self-confidence that no one can take away the bonus when an individual invests in a grand unified theory of a billion yuan reward? Or do you believe that this proposition will be solved within a hundred years? "

"The Sun newspaper:" Lu Zhou: who can unify the four basic forces, who will get a hundred million bonus! "

The times: "the moment to usher in a new era in the history of physics!"

There is almost no suspense. The focus of the news is almost all on the century question published by a hundred famous physicists and the huge bonus set up by imcrc.

Especially when the award of the grand unified theory was announced, almost everyone, whether in academia or outside the academia, was shocked by the amazing amount of the bonus.

On the neck.

"Fuck! One billion! "

"It's not true, is it?"

"Don't stop me, I'm a physicist from today!"

"Save it. Did you pass the big thing exam? How many dishes to drink! "

"There is no humanity! Kneel for Lu Shen! "

"I can't believe he is a scientific researcher. Why is he so rich! I suggest checking his account funds to see if there is any hidden py transaction. It doesn't mean anything else. It's just a little advice. Keyboard guys don't like it. "

"In the age of Internet 2.0, how can there be such a mental retardation?"

"No matter what, because he made a controllable fusion reactor, because you can play video games for a penny now, why can't other people have so much money?"

On the campus forum of a famous university.

"A hundred million bonus! It's horrible. "

"I'm still not too busy to understand why academician Lu doesn't think about solving the problem himself? Or is it that he is sure to solve the problem himself, so he deliberately set the bonus so high that no one else can get it anyway? "

"Didn't you read the interview written by Belinda in the latest issue of nature?"

"What does it say?"

"An interview with Lu Zhou at the dinner party after the announcement of century question! If you read it, you will know why people don't solve the problem by themselves! Ah, I have to blow a wave, which makes me really convinced. "

"Wocao, what did he say in the interview?"

"I have to give young people a chance If I remember correctly, that's what he said! Think carefully, it has been so many years since the completion of the unified theory of strong electricity. So far, all the problems that can arouse his curiosity have been solved without exception! As a rule of thumb, he has no reason not to take the last step. I even doubt that the grand unified theory has an answer in his mind! "

The whole world was shocked by Professor Lu's great handwriting.

Just news words can't satisfy people's desire for gossip. All kinds of opinions are spreading wildly on the Internet.

In this way, under the hot discussion of netizens, the century question, initiated by a hundred famous physics bulls, occupied the headlines of major network platforms at an incredible speed overnight.

In the same night, physics seems to have changed from a cold major only belonging to a small number of people to a hot subject that people like to talk about.

And it's not just that.

It's not just the online melon eaters who are talking about the problems of the century of physics. Even the politicians of various countries sent congratulatory messages to imcrc one after another after the news spread.

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Facing the reporters gathered at the press conference, the president read out the speech with his speech in his hand.

“…… This is a glorious moment in the history of physics, a moment worthy of being recorded in history! "

"The smartest minds on the planet have come together to explore the issues we all face together. I believe that our physics, under the leadership of imcrc, will be able to go further and create greater miracles. "

10 Downing Street.

Also facing journalists from all over the world, the prime minister said in a solemn tone.

“…… Although physics is far away from our life, looking back on history, every social change is closely related to the change of physics. I believe that we are standing at the crossroads before a great era, and I believe that our future must be full of light -- "

" because of those great people. "

The same is true of Chang'an Street.

Not even a congratulatory message.

Even the elder himself came to Shanghai in person

……A five-star hotel next to the International Convention and Exhibition Center.

The executive lounge on the top floor.

The two sat in a seat near the window, chatting about what happened in recent days and drinking afternoon tea.

“…… In the next 100 years, the pattern of physics has been determined. Imcrc has replaced CERN and become a new world physics center without any suspense, relying on the lunar Hadron Collider and huge scientific research power. "

"In the past 100 years, the western academic community has occupied an absolute voice in the world academic community, and now this pattern has changed. Our scholars can communicate with the world academic community in a fairer environment. So far, there is nothing I have to do personally. "

After a sip of tea, Lu Zhou looked at the old man sitting opposite and said his decision.

"I intend to resign as president after this meeting."

Although it's expected that similar things happened after the end of the controllable fusion project, the old man could not help but express his surprised expression on his face and sat up straight.

"Is imcrc working too hard? If you have any difficulty, please let me know. We can't help you with academic matters, but I can help you with other things. "

"It's nothing to do with being busy or not," Lu said with a smile. "It's just that the two-year period is over and it's time to change people."

The old man sighed and said with great emphasis.

"But imcrc has made great achievements. It's hard for young physicists in our country to find another scholar who can be popular. I'm afraid that after you leave, the advantage and position of Chinese Physics in this international cooperation organization will be shared by others."

"Or will you do it again?"

"Your worry is actually superfluous," Lu said with a smile. "There are still quite a lot of excellent young physicists. For example, our Professor Wei is sure to get a Nobel Prize within three years. There is also our professor Luo. Although he has not achieved any outstanding academic achievements for the time being, he has a wide range of research areas, and he is a teacher of Witten. He is good at using mathematical tools and has a wide range of contacts. I am very relieved that he will be the next president. "

Luo Wenxuan?

The old man frowned when he heard the name.

It seems that the name is a little impressive, but I can't remember exactly where I heard it.

However, since academician Lu has said so, I think this young man has something to mark.

Out of the trust in the eyes of Lu Zhou, the old man didn't say anything more, just nodded his head, then changed the topic and continued.

"Since you think it's appropriate, let's do it Speaking of it, I hear you're going to leave physics for a while? "

The boat shook its head gently.

"It can't be regarded as leaving, but for me personally, it's very difficult to make a higher breakthrough in pure physics research."

The old man asked earnestly.

"And what is your plan?"

"Energy, materials and information are the three pillars of modern science. The former has controllable fusion, and the core production capacity has not fully met the global market demand. The latter is also in the process of laying our submarine quantum optical cable, and the construction of the Pacific section is only half of it. Technology has not been fully digested. Even if there is any major breakthrough, the marginal effect will limit its development. "

After a pause, the boat thought for a moment, and said.

"I'm going to try to start with materials."

"See if I can combine what I have learned in mathematics and physics to create something interesting."
