After the report was over, the mission chain regarding superconducting materials was also completed.
After hanging up the phone with Professor Chirik, Lu Zhou walked to his bed and laid down. He closed his eyes and muttered to himself. His consciousness quickly entered a pure white space.
He walked in front of the holographic screen and clicked on the mission panel.
["Fusion Light" mission chain]
[Optional sub-mission: Develop carbon-based superconducting materials with a superconducting transition temperature of more than 100K (completed)]
[Mission reward: 100,000 materials science experience points, 100,000 biochemistry experience points. (Available)]
When Lu Zhou saw this mission reward, he couldn't help but click his tongue.
Just this sub-mission alone gave him more than 200,000 experience points. Lu Zhou wondered how rich the mission reward would be after he completed the entire mission chain.
After he received the mission reward, his characteristic panel was refreshed. Biochemistry went from level 3 to level 4, which was the same level as materials science (level 4).
On the other hand, after this sub-mission was completed, the mission panel was refreshed.
The superconducting materials sub-mission wasn't cancelled. Instead, it was replaced with a new mission.
Which was to develop carbon-based superconducting materials with a superconducting transition temperature of more than 200K.
As for the reward, it also increased by quite a bit.
"Even 200K high-temperature superconductivity can be achieved?"
Lu Zhou looked at the description on the mission and had a thoughtful look on his face.
When it came to scientific research, knowing that something was technically achievable or that an idea was feasible was a very important piece of information in itself.
Just like after the Manhattan Project, many countries completed nuclear tests.
Prior to this, even Einstein, who advocated the development of nuclear weapons, still had reservations about whether nuclear weapons could produce the expected power in his letter to Roosevelt.
However, the optional mission was optional, it wasn't mandatory. The so-called controllable nuclear fusion was just a concept; there wasn't a fixed standard.
According to the system requirements and Lu Zhou's own expectations, completing the "DEMO" demonstration reactor didn't necessarily require 200K superconducting materials.
Just like quantum computing technology, it would be great if it could be solved, but it didn't matter if it couldn't be solved. He could just replace it with a more powerful supercomputer.
After confirming the mission panel and having a general idea of what to do next, Lu Zhou exited the system space.
…
Time passed day by day, and the date of the award ceremony was getting closer and closer.
Although the Nobel Prize award ceremony was on December 10th, there was still a press conference waiting for him on the 7th. In order to not appear to be in a hurry, the winners would usually arrive half a week or even a week earlier.
The first Thursday in December.
With his five students, Lu Zhou drove to New York's JFK International Airport and boarded a flight to Sweden.
After more than ten hours of flight, the plane landed smoothly on the runway of Stockholm Airport.
Lu Zhou entered the VIP passage with the help of the airport staff. He saw Academician Staffan Normark, the permanent secretary of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the vice president of the Nobel Foundation.
This was Lu Zhou's second visit to this city.
This was the second time he met Academician Staffan.
Academician Staffan opened his arms and hugged Lu Zhou's shoulder. He then shook Lu Zhou's right hand and said, "Welcome, Professor Lu Zhou! I didn't expect to see you again in two years. "
"Accurately speaking, it's been two years and seven months." Lu Zhou shook Academician Staffan's hand and said, "Long time no see."
The last time they met was for the Crafoord Prize. Academician Staffan was also responsible for welcoming Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou didn't expect this old Viking man to still be so healthy.
Of course, compared to Lu Zhou, Academician Staffan was probably the one who didn't expect this to happen.
"You're the youngest winner of the Crafoord Prize. I didn't expect you to be the youngest winner of the Nobel Prize." Academician Staffan looked at Lu Zhou and said, "Honestly, after the Chemistry Prize Committee submitted your name, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences talked about this for almost half a month."
Lu Zhou joked, "Are they talking about my age or my identity as a mathematician?"
Academician Staffan smiled and said, "Both."
After some small talk, Academician Staffan looked at the people behind Lu Zhou.
"Who are these friends?"
Lu Zhou said, "They're my students. They're here with me."
Academician Staffan smiled and said, "Since there are so many guests, let's not wait. Let's get in the car. We'll talk when we get to the hotel."
Lu Zhou smiled and nodded. "That's great."
There were two Volvos parked outside the VIP entrance.
According to Academician Staffan, the driver of the Swedish Royal Guards was the Royal Guard.
What was interesting was that even though there were Royal Guards, the Swedish royal family drove their own cars, even when the king went to work.
No wonder Old Karl didn't even want the throne when he pursued Silvia.
There was no point in having such a poor crown.
After they got in the car, the group went straight to the Stockholm Hotel.
Based on the Nobel Prize tradition, the Nobel Prize laureates and their relatives were usually arranged to stay here. The last time Lu Zhou came to Stockholm for the Crafford Prize, he also stayed here. Even the room number was the same.
Xiao Tong arrived at the hotel before Lu Zhou. When she saw her brother at the door, she excitedly ran to Lu Zhou and grabbed his arm.
Although he was grabbing her and not hugging her, this small action still made Vera extremely nervous.
Hadi poked Qin Yue's arm and asked, "Hey, do you know what's the relationship between that girl and the professor?"
Qin Yue knew what he was thinking, so he sighed and said, "That's the professor's sister."
When Hadi heard that it was his sister, he suddenly looked bored.
Professor Lu's personal relationships were like his closed-door research method. They were one of the legends of Princeton.
Compared to the Nobel Prize, Hadi was obviously more curious about the former.
At this time, Wei Wen, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, "You've seen him before?"
Qin Yue shook his head and said, "Not yet."
Wei Wen: "Then how do you know?"
Qin Yue said, "Isn't it obvious? She's standing next to her parents, she doesn't look old. If she's not his sister, then who else could she be? "
Wei Wen pointed at the tall girl and said, "What about the other one?"
Qin Yue went silent for a while before he spoke in an uncertain tone.
"Sister?"
Wei Wen shook his head.
