“wtf！！！”

"!!"

"One hundred million?!"

"Bunker! Has there ever been such a high prize in physics before? ”

"Don't talk about the physics world, I can't find it even if I search all over the academic world!"

It is difficult for a discipline in the field of physics, which is far away from application, even condensed matter physics, which is relatively closely related to applied science, to create such great benefits in a short period of time.

Although there are some wealthy people who are detached from low-level interests, and occasionally donate some money to support those basic scientific research, such a large amount of money is still unheard of.

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

Not to mention the fact that fusion power plants in St. Petersburg, Kadarasher and Los Angeles have been completed one after another, and the cross-regional power grid crosses the Asian continent, and the RMB exchange rate continues to strengthen with the support of the energy network, and the exchange rate is no longer the same as before.

The gold content of 100 million can be imagined.

The boiling atmosphere almost tore the ceiling over, and the boiling atmosphere in the exhibition hall and poster exhibition area outside the conference hall was even more enthusiastic, like an erupting volcano, igniting people's excitement and disbelief and a faint trace of longing in their hearts.

Even though many people still barely maintained their gentlemanly demeanor, they were still surprised by this generous gesture and lost their minds, and even let out a not very elegant exclamation in some gaffes.

Lu Zhou, who was standing in the conference room, didn't see the situation in the lobby of the convention and exhibition center, but judging from the reactions of many scholars in the conference hall, the effect of 100 million yuan could be regarded as achieved.

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

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

"Professor Edward Witten from Princeton, please!"

Nodding to Professor Edward Witten, who was standing next to him, Lu Zhou gave up the microphone in his hand, and then walked off the stage in a dashing manner.

The meeting of the Question of the Century is still ongoing.

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

And it was snatched away from the beginning.

The situation at the conference site was quickly broadcast all over the world through the Internet, and those scholars and people who were also paying attention to this centennial physics conference were frightened by the 100 million bonus.

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 let out an exclamation.

"One hundred million! Schitt, how many cryo-EM microscopes can be bought for this. ”

"Dogs! Why are these physicists so rich! ”

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

"Just in time! Go for it! But speaking of which, this grand unification theory ...... Can anyone really get this 100 million? ”

"I don't know much about physics, but I know it's a problem that even Einstein couldn't solve! It's still too hard to solve it! ”

"And I can't tell...... Now it's not just Einstein who can't figure it out. ”

"How?"

"Do you want to ...... If Lu Zhou knew the answer, would he offer a reward of 100 million for others to think? He came up with the Unified Theory of Strong Electricity, and no one is closer to the Great Unified Theory than him, and no one knows better than him how difficult this problem is......"

"Damn, what do you say, it's almost incomprehensible!"

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

"Hello, are you following the ongoing Centennial Physics Conference?"

The professor said with a straight face.

"I did, although I was going to pay attention to it after class."

“…… What does that mean? ”

"Five minutes before the end of class, a shout suddenly came from the back row of the classroom, I thought there was an earthquake, and it turned out to be because of the 100 million yuan bonus!" Speaking of this, the professor couldn't help but scold, "These little cubs, they don't want to think about it, what does the high prize have to do with them?" ”

Reporter Khan said: "Okay...... What do you think of this 100 million bonus? ”

The professor said impatiently. "It's nothing to look at, it's a bonus that no one can get."

"Would you consider changing your research direction?"

"I won't think about it."

"Why?"

"There's no why, whoever wants to study it...... If they think they have a chance of getting the prize! ”

Just when the entire university circle was talking about the 100 million prize money, the opening ceremony of the Centennial Physics Conference was still going on, and the subsequent 99 century questions were revealed one after another under the relay of Witten, Wierzeck and other well-known physics top experts.

Among them, there are such hot frontiers in physics as "Searching for Superparticles Predicted in Supersymmetry Theory" announced by Professor Witten, and "Exploring the Cause of the Disappearance of Supernova Sites" announced by the famous astrophysicist James Peebles.

There are also physics problems such as "the mechanism of sonoluminescence", "the instability mechanism of spiral waves in reactive diffusion systems", and "many-body QED problems in atomic systems".

These propositions cover almost a range of fields, from theoretical physics to astrophysics to condensed matter physics, and cover the hottest, most important, and at the same time a hundred branches of physics that are promising to achieve results in this century.

Although there are millions of rewards, as well as sponsorships from wealthy people and scientific research groups from all over the world, which stimulate people's eyeballs and adrenal glands, in the end, there is still no award amount that exceeds the 100 million RMB mark.

Throughout the conference, in addition to the physicists who were interested, the most excited were the journalists with cameras and microphones.

Although they are still standing at the meeting, they have already prepared the headlines of tomorrow's news.

Many of them were even ready to run, and now they were waiting for the landing boat to come out of this conference hall and throw the questions in their stomachs all the way.

However, their expectations were destined to be disappointed.

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

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

Ever since he got this thing from the system, he hasn't been worried about being blocked by reporters on the way.

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

There is no need to guess, Lu Zhou knew who called, so he took out his mobile phone and pressed the connect button.

"Hello?"

"Where's you?!"

Not surprisingly, Senior Brother Luo's fiery voice immediately came from the other end of the phone.

Lu Zhou: "It's already out, what's wrong?" ”

Luo Wenxuan was suddenly shocked.

"Damn, why did you slip away? In a moment, 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 speech, Luo Wenxuan vaguely felt a hint of something wrong, and immediately asked the question that he was most concerned about.

"What about the interview after the meeting?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly.

“…… Thank you for your hard work. ”

Luo Wenxuan: "......"
