In fact, young scholars sit in the audience and watch academic leaders from various disciplines sit on the stage to exchange their views and opinions on the most cutting-edge and popular academic research directions in the current academic world.

After handing in the paper, Liu Hai completely relaxed, had a lot of free time, and also took time to participate in two games, but after watching the second one, he never went again, one was because he watched others pretend to be forced, how could he pretend to be cool, but now his results are still inconclusive, and he is not qualified to sit on the stage. In addition, he became a celebrity among young scholars, and whenever he appeared, he was quickly watched by onlookers, and then he had to face all kinds of questions, which was annoying.

Although he no longer attends, he still collects briefings from all Summit Forum exchange sessions.

For this kind of summit exchange meeting, the organizing committee will issue a briefing to record the views and opinions of each scholar, and then the briefing will be published in the Young Scholars Association's internal newspaper, "Young Scholars Daily".

During this period, the "Young Scholars Daily" set aside two large pages to make a special report on the Summit Forum.

The Young Scholars Newspaper is just an internal newspaper of the association, not a big newspaper, and the subscription is not high, but such content is usually cited by many other major newspapers, especially by the academic media with the highest number of academic subscriptions, and the views of these academic leaders often become the focus of the academic community.

Bangs have been paying attention to this.

He's planning which direction he's going to take next.

Originally, I thought that the Second Transformation Elixir Extraction Formula would be enough for me to get it until the middle of next year, but the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, so I came to participate in a young scholar forum, so that I could complete the pre-plan in advance, and now there is only one finishing touch on this academic topic - writing a related monograph.

It was an easy task for him, that is, to expand it again according to his big paper, and then add some demonstration experiments and ideas for the optimization direction of the formula.

It's all easy to write, and he already knows it.

Then the planning of the academic research direction behind is in front of us.

Others may get carried away with completing a large project, and they will have to relax for several years and have more fun before moving on to the next project.

He won't.

Besides, academic research is one of his greatest pleasures.

For the next research topic, he has a preliminary idea, which is to jump out of pill medicine and explore other disciplines.

Cultivators who aspire to be golden immortals must pursue the six great immortals to learn omniscience and omnipotence, which is a valuable experience left in the inheritance beads.

Therefore, when Liu Hai was learning the twenty-one books of the Inheritance Bead every day, although he temporarily focused on pill medicine, he also consciously took care of the basic accumulation of his discipline.

Speaking of which, now in the other five disciplines of immortal science, his foundation accumulation is also quite deep.

The problem now is that he has not yet figured out which discipline to target next, or which research direction.

First of all, it was excluded from the study of warfare, and secondly, it was excluded from natal science, and finally it was decided to choose among the three major disciplines of refining, spiritual source and rune formation.

After a few days, after reading the briefing, he deepened his understanding of the hottest and most cutting-edge academic research in the current academic world, and Liu Hai gradually had the answer in his heart.

At present, there are many cutting-edge and popular academic researches, which can be said to be innumerable, but aside from all other factors, only looking at the academic difficulty and importance to the development of the entire civilization, then the forefront is undoubtedly to break through the energy dilemma and break through the shackles of longevity.

In the final analysis, the energy dilemma is the problem of the lack of spirit stones, that is, the spirit stone crisis.

There are too many people in this world, spiritual stones are needed for cultivation, spirit stones are needed for tools, and spirit stones are also needed for entertainment, although spirit stones belong to renewable resources in a specific environment, the speed of regeneration is too slow, far from keeping up with the speed of people's consumption, and the existing spiritual source mines are extremely limited.

There is a data surface, if the current situation continues, in another eight hundred years or so, the empire will begin to fall into a state of tension in the spirit stone, another 1,200 years, the spirit stone will become extremely tense, in another two thousand years, the spirit stone will face the threat of exhaustion, and in another two thousand five hundred years, except for a very small amount of regeneration spirit stone, the rest of the spirit stones will be exhausted, and the human race will face a terrible crisis of destroying civilization and even extinction!

Don't look at this as a matter of hundreds or thousands of years later, it seems that there is still a long time, in fact, for the cultivation civilization, eight hundred years is not a long time at all, think about it, this world has been promoted from the secret realm to the small spirit realm, that is, from the founding of the empire to the present, it has been 30,000 years.

Hundreds of thousands of years is a very urgent time for the cultivation of civilization.

According to the general belief in society that 120 years is a generation, that is, five or six generations later.

And as time goes by, maybe three or four generations later, they will have to face a series of problems caused by the lack of spirit stones.

Therefore, the spirit stone crisis is the most urgent problem facing the entire civilization.

To solve this problem, there are two directions: throttling and open source.

Throttling does not mean that controlling the spirit stone is not used by the people, it is unrealistic.

Throttling means trying to improve the utilization rate of spirit stones, which is one of the hottest and most cutting-edge academic research directions at present.

Open source is naturally to increase the number of spirit stones, which is divided into two major directions, one is to find a way to increase the regeneration speed of spirit stones, and the other is to find a way to find a new spirit source mine.

It is almost impossible to increase the regeneration rate of spirit stones, which is a common understanding in the academic community, believing that according to the current level of civilization, at least in five thousand years, it is impossible to effectively increase the regeneration rate of spirit stones.

Then, finding a way to find a new spiritual source mine has become the most important means of open source.

As early as more than 2,000 years ago, when human beings realized that they might face a huge spiritual stone crisis in the future, the Central Holy See organized forces to search the spiritual source mines of the entire world in a carpet manner, and even did not let go of all the sea areas, and all the places where large spiritual source mines existed on the seabed were found, and the submarine puppet robot was developed at that time, and later extended the development of puppet mechas.

Now if you want to find a new large-scale spiritual source mine, there is only one direction, and that is to go to the virgin land that human beings have not yet reached, and to find it in various secret realms in the world.

It's not so easy to go to the secret realm, at least at present, there is no spaceship that can break through the secret passage, so there is another hottest and most cutting-edge research direction - research and development of a spaceship that can break through the secret passage.

Therefore, the current hottest and most cutting-edge academic research brought about by the Lingshi crisis can be summarized in the following two specific directions:

1. Try your best to improve the utilization rate of spirit stones;

2. Develop a spaceship that can break through the secret passage to reach the secret realm.
