Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

After the ILHCRC press conference was over, related news quickly spread on the internet and to every corner of the world.

The sensation caused by this was like a tsunami that swept through the entire physics community.

The ILHCRC established an Advisory Committee!

Lu Zhou was the first consultant!

Almost everyone was shocked after hearing the news.

On an internationally renowned physics forum.

This time, the website management team prepared in advance and temporarily added two servers before the press conference began. An hour after the press conference, the extra bandwidth came in handy.

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

“Advisory Committee?!”

“Veto power! This way it can prevent the organization from becoming rigid, and it can also prevent the new board members from making major mistakes. This is perfect!”

“Haha, I knew it, Professor Lu is still reluctant to leave the physics world!”

“Even though it is unfortunate he isn’t the chairman, at least he isn’t leaving the physics world…”

After all, there were still some differences between being a consultant and being a chairman.

The former no longer participated in the specific decision-making of the ILHCRC board of directors. They would only be in charge when a major crisis or change occurred at the ILHCRC.

However, even then, for many people, this was better than Lu Zhou completely withdrawing from the ILHCRC.

If the position of chairman was handed over to the wrong person, they still had one of the most academically prestigious consultants in physics today to look forward to. No matter what kind of error or crisis occurred, there was hope that it would be corrected.

Because of the news that Lu Zhou resigned from the board of directors, many people fell into pessimism about the future of physics and worried about the prospects of the ILHCRC. However, after hearing that Lu Zhou had not completely left, the pessimism that was in everyone’s mind was swept away immediately.

Obviously, it wasn’t just the physics community that had a huge reaction.

Related news quickly hit the headlines of major newspapers and online media platforms on the second day. It was also broadcast on major news TV channels.

A BBC reporter who interviewed Professor Higgs a few days ago found the old professor again.

But this time, the old man’s opinion had changed 180 degrees. Not only did the worries on his face disappear, but he also heavily praised ILHCRC’s decision.

“… This is a very smart choice, it is a significant change. If he had left, he would leave behind a legacy that no one could accept. But now, he gave hope to everyone at the ILHCRC.

“Although I was pessimistic before, now… I am optimistic about the future of the ILHCRC!

“If everything goes well, it will still be the center of physics in a hundred years!

“Unless there is a natural disaster or a war, or there is a stronger and larger scientific research cooperation organization that can replace it, I can’t think of anything that can rival its position… At least for now, the probability is very unlikely.”

At the ILHCRC headquarters.

Inside the cafe.

Professor Wilczek and Professor Witten were sitting across from each other by the window. They drank coffee while talking about recent events.

“Did you suggest he do this?”

“Oh?” Professor Witten raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, “Why do you ask?”

“Because this is not like something he would do.” Professor Wilczek said sharply, “Although his academic attainments are unmatched, some of his personalities are actually comparable to those of many young people in their 20s and 30s. Whether he is reckless or over-confident… In short, I never expected him to put stability first.”

“People change.” Witten said with a smile, “I was not much better than him when I was in my thirties, while some people stay the same forever.”

Wilczek felt like this was targeting himself; he spoke with a dry cough.

“I’m just looking for some fun in life… Don’t look at me like I’m a gambling addict, I only bet on trivial things.”

Witten teased and said, “The bet with Dr. Lisi was trivial?”

Wilczek’s eyebrows twitched; he clenched his jaws and said, “Yes… After all, I only lost 1,000 dollars.”

That bet was the most shameful thing of his life! (See Chapter 171 for details)

As a Nobel Prize winner, he actually lost a bet to a layman who knew nothing about physics. Every time he heard this name, he couldn’t help but feel rage.

“Anyway… Do you think this is a good idea?”

“I think it’s pretty good,” Witten said. He looked at Professor Wilzek’s eyes and said, “The ILHCRC system is being perfected. The kingdom is centered around him. It will become a holy place for all physicists in the world.

“And what I look forward to the most is his personal growth.”

A smile appeared on Professor Witten’s face.

He leaned back on the chair and continued with a relaxed tone, “It is obvious that he sincerely hopes that the ILHCRC can become better. I am now more and more convinced that I was correct. Lu Zhou has good character!”

After the establishment of the Advisory Committee, the turmoil caused by Lu Zhou’s resignation finally subsided. The ILHCRC debacle finally came to an end.

After the ILHCRC committee meeting, which would be held a few days later for the election of the new chairman, Lu Zhou could smoothly exit from the chairman position and say goodbye to the place he worked at for two years.

The day of the committee meeting got closer and closer. This internal ILHCRC conference had replaced the Century of Physics, attracting the attention of the world.

Many physics forums at home and abroad even put up voting polls, giving countless laymen to vote and select the most suitable chairman candidates to replace Lu Zhou.

However, in the end, most of these votes turned into votes for “the most influential scholar in today’s physics world except Lu Zhou”. The chairman of the ILHCRC required more than just academic ability, thus the votes were quite meaningless.

Considering China’s current advantage in the council board, there was no doubt that Luo Wenxuan would be elected.

Lu Zhou didn’t worry about these trivial matters any more. He entered the system space after a day’s rest and opened the mission panel that he hadn’t seen for a long time.

In addition to leveling up in physics, the Void memory, and a golden prize draw ticket, the last mission reward also gave him a mission card.

He had three missions to choose from.

Lu Zhou’s index finger touched the translucent holographic screen; three missions quickly appeared in front of him.

The first mission was related to information science, the requirement was to observe 10,000 sets of virtual relationship samples.

This mission sounded a bit vague, but it was actually very easy to execute. In short, he had to encourage players to log in to the virtual reality world through the phantom system and conduct online dating. He could then collect various data from these samples.

So far, the registered users of the Phantom system had reached 60 million, and it was still growing rapidly in North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. It was easy to find 10,000 couples and assign small tasks to them. The mission rewards were also considerable.

However, information science was not a priority for Lu Zhou.

Therefore, Lu Zhou temporarily left it as a backup option.

If other missions were not cost-effective, then this mission could be an option.

The second one was about… a sand sculpture prank? The requirement was to make a prank on April Fool’s Day; the more people who were affected, the greater the rewards were.

For such a retarded mission, Lu Zhou completely ignored it.

The third mission was related to materials science.

The moment Lu Zhou saw this mission, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

It was like love at first sight!

It was like this mission was tailor-made for himself!
