"Incredible."

Although the thin word "incredible" alone could no longer describe the shock in Professor Gerhard Eiter's heart at this moment.

At this moment, he was sitting in the office of the director of the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society, staring dumbfounded at the paper in his hand, and did not speak for a long time.

As the director of the Fritz Haber Institute and the Nobel Prize winner in '07, he is a leader in the field of theoretical chemistry and computational materials science, especially in the field of solid surface chemistry. It was he who wrote a letter of recommendation for Lu Zhou that recommended him to the Nobel Prize Committee.

Professor Kleezing, who had been sitting in this office for a long time, playing with the uniquely shaped handicraft on the coffee table, raised his head and looked in his direction with interest.

"Looks like you've found something interesting."

Although his research direction is not computational materials science, but condensed matter physics, computational materials science itself is a discipline derived from the study of condensed matter physics.

Especially in the study of multi-particle complex systems, many computational materials science methods, including first-principles calculations, use physical equations.

From this point of view, this paper not only has excellent academic value in the field of materials science, but also has considerable research value in the field of physics.

And this is one of the reasons why Professor Kleezing, who is the director of the Institute of Physics, made a special trip to find here.

On top of that, another thing that interested him was what had aroused the man's curiosity that he had even resigned from the IMCRC Board of Governors.

However, compared to the former, the latter is just an inconsequential matter related to his personal interests.

"It's not just fun," said Professor Gerhard Etter, sighing as he closed the paper in his hand, "and what it showed was beyond my imagination. ”

Professor Kleezing asked curiously.

"What does it mean?"

"Computational materials science will take it to the next level. On the basis of the original theory, he not only provides a new research method, but also provides an effective mathematical approach for the study of complex molecular systems. I don't think you understand what I'm talking about, it's a miracle! ”

"At least for me, it's a quasi-Nobel Prize-level achievement...... However, this probably did not mean much to him, and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences could not have considered him again for his quasi-Nobel Prize-level achievements. ”

At this point, Gerhard Ettel suddenly stopped, looked up at the ceiling, and muttered to himself.

"Just now, I suddenly had some new ideas, maybe I should follow his example...... Retreat for a while. Two days after tomorrow...... No, for the rest of the month, you won't bother me. ”

Professor Klitzing: "You're also planning a retreat?" But I've heard...... This time he didn't seem to be in retreat. ”

Etel asked, looking at him expressionlessly.

"Where did you hear that?"

"To be precise, I analyzed it," said Professor Klitzing, shrugging his shoulders, "because it seems that it has not been long since he announced his resignation from the IMCRC Board of Governors...... You know, I just went to Shanghai some time ago. ”

Hearing this, Gerhard Ettel suddenly fell silent, and sighed after a long pause.

"Okay, then let's forget about it."

"Anyway...... I want to be alone. ”

……

Although Lu Zhou could actually say that he had expected the sensation in the materials science community, he still did not expect that it would be so exaggerated.

But then he thought about it carefully, and he figured out why.

Perhaps more surprising than the surprise of his research results is that he chose to return to the field of materials science after standing at the pinnacle of achievements in the history of physics.

This is something that no one expected.

It's also something that many people don't even think about......

[Congratulations to the host for completing the reward mission!] 】

[The mission was completed as follows: an unexpected return that shocked the entire materials science community.] It has become the expectation of everyone that one of the greatest scholars of mankind, who stands at the top of mathematics and physics at the same time, will bring changes to materials science, which is one of the three pillars of modern science and technology......

[Evaluation: (No evaluation for reward tasks)]

[Task reward: 1 million material science experience, 500,000 free experience, a legendary task card, 3,000 points reward.] 】

With a total of 1.5 million XP plus a Legendary Quest Card, this reward can be said to be quite generous.

If it weren't for the reward task, the research results alone would not have been worthy of such a generous reward.

However, considering that the reward is judged by the level of sensation, this reward does not seem too outrageous.

As for the reason......

This is already very clear in the description of the completion of the task.

Standing in a pure white system space, looking at the material science progress bar that had risen by one-third of the holographic panel, Lu Zhou thought for a while, and then divided 200,000 of the 500,000 free experience to the engineering who already had 1 million experience, and raised the engineering level to LV8.

As for the rest of the experience, it was all allocated to biochemistry, which is closely related to materials science.

As the experience distribution ended, a pale blue ripple swept across the translucent holographic screen, and the updated properties panel quickly appeared in front of him.

【

A. Mathematics: LV10

B. Physics: LV10

C. Biochemistry: LV7 (710,000/1.2 million)

D. Engineering: LV8 (00,000/3,000,000)

E. Materials Science: LV8 (63,000/3 million)

F. Energy: LV7 (00,000/1,200,000)

G. Informatics: LV7 (100,000/1.2 million)

】

"Both materials science and engineering have reached LV8......

"It's getting harder and harder to level up."

However, this also means that he is getting closer and closer to the all-discipline LV10, that is, the apex of the system level.

Casually closing the attribute panel, Lu Zhou opened the inventory and selected the card that exuded a faint luster and lay quietly in the inventory.

"If only it were a golden legend......"

Greedily sighed softly, Lu Zhou reached out and tapped on the task card.

Soon, a pale golden ripple swung around his index finger, eventually covering the entire translucent holographic screen. As the golden ripples dissipated, a glittering mission interface that looked extraordinary at first glance appeared in front of him.

[Start the Legendary Quest: Into Hell!] 】

[Description: The Earth-Moon system is the bag of human civilization, and it will not take long for the seeds sown to grow into towering trees. However, the human thirst for living space is never-ending, even if it is a desert with no people......]

[Requirements: Complete the Mars manned landing plan within the year!] 】

[Rewards: Experience, points, and item rewards are determined by the number of logins and the remaining time!] 】

Into Hell?

Not sure why.

The moment he saw this task, Lu Zhou had a faint sense of foreboding in his heart......
