Chapter 458: Return to Stockholm
At the end of the presentation, the sub-tasks of the task chain on superconducting materials were completed.
After hanging up Professor Chirik's phone, Lu Zhou walked to the side of the bed and lay down, closed his eyes and silently recited the system, and his consciousness quickly sank into a pure white space.
Walking to the holographic screen, he stretched out his index finger to select the taskbar.
["Fusion Light" quest chain]
[Optional branch: Development of carbon-based superconducting materials with a superconducting transition temperature greater than 100K (completed)]
[Reward: 100,000 materials science experience, 100,000 biochemistry experience.] (Available for pickup)】
Seeing this task reward, Lu Zhou couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Just the branch tasks in this task chain, the total experience is more than 200,000, and I don't know how rich the task rewards will be after the entire task chain is completed.
After receiving the task reward, the attribute panel was refreshed, and Biochemistry was upgraded from LV3 to LV4, which was the same as the level of Materials Science (LV4).
On the other hand, as this side quest is completed, the status of the taskbar is also refreshed.
The sub-task on superconducting materials has not been canceled, but has been replaced with a new one.
That is, the development of carbon-based superconducting materials with a superconducting transition temperature greater than 200 K.
As for the rewards, they have also increased a lot.
"Can you even do 200K high-temperature superconductivity?"
Looking at the explanatory text on the mission, a thoughtful look appeared on Lu Zhou's face.
For scientific research, knowing that something is technically achievable, or that an idea is feasible, is a very important piece of information in itself.
It's like after the Manhattan Project, many countries have completed nuclear tests one after another.
Before that, even Albert Einstein, who advocated the development of nuclear weapons, still had reservations about whether such weapons could produce the expected power in his letter to Roosevelt.
However, optional tasks are optional, not mandatory. The so-called controlled nuclear fusion is just a concept, and there is no fixed answer.
According to the requirements of the system and Lu Zhou's own expectations, the completion of the "DEMO" demonstration reactor does not necessarily require the use of such a black technology as 200K superconducting materials.
Just like quantum computer technology, if it can be solved, of course, it doesn't matter, if you can't help it, and it is not impossible to replace it with a supercomputer with stronger performance.
After finally confirming the taskbar and having a general idea of the next topic, Lu Zhou withdrew from the system space.
……
As the days passed, the date of the award ceremony was getting closer and closer.
Although the Nobel Prize ceremony begins on December 10, there is a press conference waiting for him on the 7th, and in order not to appear in a hurry, the laureates will traditionally go half a week or even a week in advance.
The first Thursday of December.
With five of his students, Lu Zhou drove to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport and boarded a flight to Sweden.
After more than a dozen hours of flight, the plane landed smoothly on the runway of Stockholm Airport.
Received by the airport staff, Lu Zhou entered the VIP channel, and met Academician Staffan Nomark, permanent secretary of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and vice president of the Nobel Foundation, who came to greet him.
This is Lu Zhou's second visit to the city.
It was also the second time he had met this Academician Staffan.
Spreading his arms, he warmly hugged Lu Zhou's shoulders, and then held his right hand, Academician Staffan said with a smile: "Welcome, Professor Lu Zhou!" Unexpectedly, it has only been two years, and we have met again. ”
"Two years and seven months to be exact," holding Academician Staffan's outstretched right hand and shaking it, Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Long time no see." ”
The last time we met was because of the Cafford Award, and the person in charge of receiving Lu Zhou at that time was also Academician Staffan.
I didn't expect that after seeing each other for so long, this old Viking man is still so tough.
Of course, compared with his "unexpected", I am afraid that there are more "unexpected" in Academician Staffan's heart.
"After the youngest winner of the Cafford Prize, I didn't expect that the record of the youngest winner of the Nobel Prize has also been broken by you," Academician Staffan said with a smile looking at Lu Zhou, "To be honest, after seeing that the Chemistry Prize Committee reported your name, the Royal Academy of Sciences discussed this matter for almost half a month." ”
Lu Zhou joked: "Is it to talk about my age, or my identity as a mathematician?" ”
Academician Staffan smiled: "It's all there." ”
After some greetings, Academician Staffan looked at the few people behind Lu Zhou.
"Who are these friends?"
Lu Zhou introduced: "They are my students, and they came to the banquet with me. ”
Academician Staffan said with a smile: "Since there are so many guests, then let's not wait, let's get in the car quickly, and wait until we get to the hotel to talk." ”
Lu Zhou smiled and nodded: "That's very good." ”
Outside the VIP access of the airport, two Volvo cars are parked.
According to Academician Staffan, it was the driver of the Royal Swedish Guard who drove the car.
What's more interesting is that there is such a thing as a royal guard, but the Swedish royal family's daily travel is driven by itself, even when the king goes to work.
It's no wonder that when Carl Sr. pursued Sylvia, he didn't even want the throne at all.
There is really nothing to ask for such a shabby crown.
After getting in the car, the group went straight to the Stockholm Grand Hotel.
As is customary in previous Nobel Prizes, Nobel laureates and their relatives and friends are usually placed here. Lu Zhou also stayed here the last time he came to Stockholm for the Krafoord Prize ceremony, and now it's the same, even the room number is about the same.
One step ahead of Lu Zhou to the hotel, seeing the old brother who appeared at the door, Xiao Tong immediately shouted "old brother" excitedly, ran to Lu Zhou's side, and grabbed his arm.
Although it was grasping, not holding, this small action still made Vera nervous.
At this time, Hardy poked Qin Yue's arm and asked with a gossipy face, "Hey, do you know what is the relationship between that girl and the professor?" ”
Qin Yue knew what he was thinking, and sighed, "That's the professor's sister." ”
As soon as he heard that it was his sister, Hardy suddenly had a dull expression.
Professor Luk's personal feelings, like his retreat approach, are among the legends of Princeton.
Compared with the Nobel Prize, which is already too stable, Hardy is obviously more curious about the former.
At this time, Wei Wen, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "Have you seen it before?" ”
Qin Yue shook his head: "That's not it." ”
Wei Wen: "...... So how do you know? ”
Qin Yue was speechless and said, "Is this unclear?" Standing next to his parents, he doesn't look very old, he is not a sister, so he can still be an object? ”
Wei Wen pointed at the tall girl with his chin: "What about the other one?" ”
Qin Yue was silent for a long time and said in an uncertain tone.
"Sister?"
Wei Wen shook his head.
"I don't see it."
