After the IMCRC press conference, the relevant news quickly spread to every corner of the world along the network cable.

The resulting sensation swept through the physics community like a tsunami.

IMCRC Establishes Advisory Board!

Lu Zhou served as the first consultant!

Almost everyone was shocked when they heard the news.

at an internationally renowned physics forum.

This time, the site's management was well prepared, adding two servers before the press conference started, and it came in handy before the press conference was over.

Not only did the number of visitors to the forum multiply in an hour, but almost all the topics discussed on the board were related to the press conference.

"Advisory Board?!"

"One veto is okay! This prevents both organizational rigidity and major mistakes in decision-making by new council members, which is perfect! ”

"Haha, I know that Professor Lu is really reluctant to leave the physics community!"

"It's a bit of a pity that he stayed in this way, but anyway, those who say he plans to leave the physics community are just rumors......

After all, there is still some difference between the advisor and the chairman.

In contrast to the latter, the former is no longer involved in the specific decision-making work of the IMCRC Board of Governors, and only plays a role in the event of a major crisis or change in the IMCRC.

However, even so, for many people, this is better than Lu Zhou's complete withdrawal from the IMCRC.

At least if the chairmanship is in the wrong hands, they have one of the most prestigious advisors in physics today to look forward to, and there is hope that no matter what mistake or crisis occurs, there is hope that it will be corrected.

Originally, because of the news of Lu Zhou's resignation from all positions on the council, many people fell into pessimism about the future of physics and worries about the future of IMCRC, but after hearing that Lu Zhou did not leave, the gloom that was suppressed in everyone's hearts was immediately swept away.

It's clearly not just the physics community that's making a splash.

The news quickly made headlines in major newspapers and online media platforms the next day, and was broadcast in prime time on major news and television channels.

A BBC reporter who had interviewed Professor Higgs a few days ago found the nearly 100-year-old professor again.

This time, the old man's opinion has changed one hundred and eighty degrees, not only is the worry between the eyebrows gone, but the words are also not hiding the praise for the IMCRC's decision.

“…… It was a very smart choice, and at the same time a significant reform, and if he had just left, he would have left behind a mess that no one could accept, but now he has left behind not only a solid system, but also hope for all those who have high hopes for the IMCRC. ”

"Although I was pessimistic before, now I ...... I am very optimistic about the future of IMCRC! ”

"If nothing else, it will still be the center of world physics in a hundred years!"

"Unless there is a natural disaster or war, and there is a stronger and larger scientific research cooperative that can replace it, I can't think of anything that can shake its position...... And at least for now, these possibilities are very, very slim. ”

……

IMCRC Headquarters.

It's still in that café.

Professor Wilzek and Professor Witten sat opposite each other by the window, sipping coffee and chatting about recent events.

"You suggested that he do this?"

"Oh?" Hearing the question suddenly thrown by his old friend, Professor Witten raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Why do you ask that?" ”

"Because it doesn't look like something he would do," says Professor Wilzek pointedly, "and although his academic attainments are prohibitive, some of his personality is not unlike that of many young people in their twenties and thirties." It doesn't matter if it's recklessness or self-confidence...... In short, I never expected him to put poisadiness first. ”

"People always change," Witten said with a smile, "I wasn't much better than him when I was thirty, and some people may be the same." ”

Sensing that this sentence seemed to be speaking of himself, Wilzek said with a dry cough.

"I'm just looking for some fun in life...... Don't look at me always betting with people, but it's just innocuous gadgets. ”

Witten teased, "The same is the bet with Dr. Garrett Reese?" ”

Hearing the name, Wilzek's eyebrows twitched violently, and he gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes...... After all, I only lost $1,000. ”

That bet was a shame for his life! (See Chapter 171 for details)

Thinking that he was a Nobel laureate and actually lost a bet to a bridge worker who knew nothing about physics, he couldn't help but get goosebumps of disgust every time he heard the name.

"Don't go far...... Do you think that's good? ”

"I think it's good," Witten said after a moment of silence in Professor Wilzek's inquiring gaze, "I see that the IMCRC system is improving, and it is changing from a kingdom centered on him to a mecca belonging to all physicists in the world. ”

"And the most exciting thing is that I have also seen him grow in person."

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Professor Witten's face.

Leaning back in his chair, he continued in a relaxed tone.

"I can see that he really wants IMCRC to get better, and now I believe more and more in my own vision, and I really didn't see the wrong person!"

……

With the establishment of the advisory committee, the turmoil caused by Lu Zhou's resignation finally subsided, and the matter on the IMCRC's side finally came to an end.

When the IMCRC committee meeting is successfully held a few days later and the new chairman is elected, Lu Zhou can smoothly relinquish the position of IMCRC chairman and say goodbye to this place that has struggled for two years.

As the agenda of the conference is getting closer and closer, this internal meeting of IMCRC has successfully replaced the Centennial Physics Summit, attracting the attention of the world.

Many physics forums at home and abroad have even put voting posts on the top, giving countless people who eat melons a channel to vote and select the most suitable candidate for the chairman of the board of directors in addition to Lu Zhou.

However, in the end, most of these votes turned into votes for "the most influential scholars in the physics community today except for Lu Zhou", and the chairman of the IMCRC does not regard academic ability as the only evaluation indicator, so such a vote is actually meaningless.

Considering Huaguo's current absolute advantage in the council meeting, there is no suspense about Senior Brother Luo's election.

Lu Zhou, who no longer worries about these troublesome things, entered the system space after a day of rest and opened the taskbar that he hadn't seen for a long time.

The last quest reward was not an additional quest card other than a physics level +1, a Void Memory, and a chance to win a golden draw.

Therefore, this lottery is a long-lost three-choice link.

As Lu Zhou's index finger touched the translucent holographic screen, three random missions quickly jumped out in front of him.

The first task, related to informatics, requires the observation of 10,000 sets of virtual family samples.

This task may sound abstract, but it's actually quite easy to execute, in short, to encourage players who log in to the virtual reality world through the phantom system to go online and then collect the data from those samples.

At present, the registered users of the Phantom system have reached 60 million, and it is still expanding rapidly to the markets of North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia, and it is not too easy to match 10,000 couple players and assign them some small tasks, and the rewards of the tasks are considerable.

However, for Lu Zhou at this stage, the priority of informatics is relatively low.

Therefore, Lu Zhou kept it as a backup option for the time being.

If other tasks aren't cost-effective, it's a good idea to overdo it.

The second is the sand sculpture task, which is associated with the ...... Presumably mentally retarded? The requirement is to make a joke on April Fool's Day, and the more people you affect, the more trouble you cause and the higher the reward.

With such an undisciplined task, Lu Zhou just glanced at it and completely knocked it into the cold palace.

This is followed by a third task, which is related to materials science.

The moment he saw this task, Lu Zhou's heart gave birth to a wonderful feeling.

It's like love at first sight!

It's a task that is tailor-made for yourself!
