"Who will bear this funding? Can IMCRC afford it?"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Really? Maybe, but unfortunately... I may not focus my main experience on physics, especially the research of theoretical physics."
The unified theory of strong electricity opens the door to the grand unified theory, the void theory expands the horizons of human civilization to extra dimensions beyond time for the first time, and the hyperspace theory gives wings to the ideal of inter-galactic expeditions.
About nine years ago, she was just an ordinary editor of Nature Weekly, and now she is the editor-in-chief of the main magazine of Nature.
night.
Lu Zhou smiled sheepishly.
It cannot be said that he is not interested, but Lu Zhou still hopes to leave these growth opportunities to other potential scholars.
"Impossible! IMCRC will set up a foundation to independently operate this bonus and achieve stable growth of assets through sound investment strategies. Even if IMCRC ceases to exist one day, this bonus will always exist until someone claims it. Walk!"
Obviously there is no way to accommodate so many people in one hotel.
Although he had little interest in the banquet, as the chairman of IMCRC and one of the protagonists of the Centennial Physics Conference, it was naturally impossible for Lu Zhou to be absent.
"It's really enviable. You look almost the same as you did nine years ago." Ms. Belinda clinked glasses with Lu Zhou and joked with a smile, "I heard that there is a mysterious power in the East that can stay clear forever. Is that so?"
After staring at Lu Zhou intently for a while, Belinda suddenly sighed with emotion.
"40% of the scientific research funds allocated by various countries are provided, and the remaining 60% comes from donations from all walks of life. As for whether you can afford it, I just think you are joking."
"Leaving the world of mathematics? No, I have never left the world of mathematics." Lu Zhou shook his head slightly. "It's just that rather than studying mathematics itself, I now pay more attention to how to strengthen its connection with other disciplines and how to use it to Solve more problems, which is something that many good mathematicians like me are unwilling to do.”
His scalp was numb from being entangled by these countless questions. At this moment, Luo Wenxuan didn't want to say a word except MMP. It was already an hour later when he finally got rid of these pestering reporters.
Time flies so damn fast...
But it was too pretentious to say this. He was not a person who liked to show off, so he did not tell the reason.
As for the scholars who attended the Centenary Physics Questions of the Century conference or other invited observers in Conference Halls 1 and 2 that day, they were arranged to have dinner at the nearby Yihao Hotel.
"I also want to know where he is, but I'm sorry, but I guess only he knows."
As expected, Luo Wenxuan was surrounded by reporters swarming the moment he opened the door.
"This is an addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problem that anyone can calculate, as long as you don't make a mistake, then yes."
I was shocked by the thoughts revealed in this sentence.
In order to entertain as many scholars as possible, IMCRC not only arranged the dinners to five star hotels, but also transformed the entire first floor of the side hall of the International Convention and Exhibition Center into a meal pick-up point for self-registered participants. Free meals were provided to conference attendees.
"Wait a minute, what do you mean by this? Are you... planning to retire?"
At the banquet at the Yihao Hotel, Ms. Belinda, who had the honor of interviewing Lu Zhou during her internship at CERN, was lucky enough to get a ticket to the banquet and was lucky enough to interview Lu Zhou.
As usual, the conference organizer organized a dinner for academic exchanges.
Naturally, he would not say that it was because of the prizes drawn by a system drawn from a higher civilization.
"Probably the same thing."
If this is true…
When Lu Zhou learned during the chat that her husband was Professor Greer who had provided help to her at CERN, a surprised expression appeared on her face.
Lu Zhou thought for a moment and then said: "Two reasons. One reason is naturally because I think it is important enough, and the other reason is because... I think it can be solved within this century."
Lu Zhou felt that as a physicist, having achieved such a level of knowledge, let alone being proud for the rest of his life, there would be no problem even if he continued to be proud for the rest of his life.
"...Hello, Mr. Secretary-General! According to statistics from this reporter, IMCRC has promised a total of 320 million yuan in bonuses today, and the average bonus is as high as 3.2 million yuan! Is this true?"
"My attitude towards physics, I guess."
Ms. Belinda smiled and said: "Then the first question may sound a bit boring, but many people are curious... why did you spend 100 million yuan to offer a reward for the grand unified theory."
As for other studies…
Then this news is too exciting.
"Maybe it's because I don't look older... Of course, the same goes for you."
At this point, Lu Zhou paused for a moment, smiled and continued.
The opening ceremony is over.
"The physics community believes that you are the most promising person to solve this problem."
"In addition, although this is the question of the century in the 21st century, if no one solves it in this century, you can answer it in the 22nd or even the 23rd century. If you can't do it, there will always be someone who can do it for you. To... Okay, please give me a moment, I need to go to the bathroom now, please leave other questions to tomorrow's press conference! Thank you."
At that time, he felt that there might be some stories between the two people, but he didn't ask much. He didn't expect that after so many years, the two of them had gone from being ordinary friends to getting married.
Lu Zhou said kindly, "No problem, please ask."
"That's not true," Lu Zhou shook his head, denied her statement, and continued, "It's just that when you can no longer achieve greater achievements in this field, you must consider giving others a chance."
If you want to break through yourself, I'm afraid you can only build a warp engine seriously, or stick your head into the void to see what is there that scares even the observers of civilization.
"No discipline can achieve true prosperity by relying on the strength of one person. Rather than creating more results in this field, I hope that my research can influence some people and let them create more miracle."
“Is this why you left mathematics?”
"Thank you, although this does not sound convincing, obviously I am not young anymore," Belinda teased herself and continued, "This is a rare opportunity, can I interview you for a few questions?"
It can even be said that many people came either for the dinner itself or for him.
At the same time, after so many years, she has also changed from a mature woman who still has charm to a mother of three children.
After learning this, Lu Zhou couldn't help but sigh.
"Hello, Secretary-General Luo, where is Academician Lu?"
"Hello, Secretary-General Luo, what if these difficult problems cannot be completed in the end, or part of them cannot be completed, resulting in no one claiming the bonuses?"
In fact, there is another reason, and that is because there is no shortage of money.
Upon hearing this, Belinda opened her mouth in surprise and asked hurriedly.
