Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 459: Back to Stockholm

Subsequent to the end of the report, the sub-tasks on superconducting materials in the task chain were considered complete.

After hanging up Professor Chirick's phone, the ark went to lie flat by the bed, closed his eyes and silenced the sound system, and his consciousness quickly sank into a pure white space.

He reached the holographic screen and stretched out his index finger to select the taskbar.

[“Fusion Light" Task Chain]

[Optional branch line: R&D of carbon-based superconducting materials with superconducting transition temperatures greater than 100K (completed)]

[Mission reward: 100,000 materials science experience, 100,000 biochemistry experience. (Receivable)]

Seeing this mission reward, the ark cannot help but snap.

Branch tasks in this chain alone, with more than 200,000 experience, do not know how rich the task rewards will be when the entire chain is completed.

After receiving the task reward, the Properties panel refreshes, and biochemistry rises from LV3 to LV4, level with Materialology (LV4).

On the other hand, the status of the taskbar refreshes as this branch task completes.

Branch tasks on superconducting materials were not cancelled, but replaced with new ones.

That is, research and development of carbon-based superconducting materials with superconducting transition temperatures greater than 200K.

As for rewards, they have also improved considerably.

“Can you even do 200K high temperature superconduction? ”

Looking at the descriptive text on the task, the face of the ark revealed a thoughtful look.

Knowing that a thing is technically achievable, or knowing that a thought works, is in itself an important message for this research thing.

It was as if, after the Manhattan Project, a number of countries had successively completed their nuclear tests.

Until then, even Einstein, who advocated the development of nuclear weapons, had, in his letter to Roosevelt, expressed reservations as to whether such weapons could produce the desired power.

However, alternative tasks are, after all, optional and not necessary. The so-called controllable nuclear fusion is just a concept, and there is no fixed answer.

According to the requirements of the system and the expectations of the ship itself, the completion of the "DEMO” demonstration heap does not necessarily require the use of technology as black as 200K superconducting material.

Like quantum computer technology, if you can solve it, of course, if you really can't, it doesn't matter. It's not going to happen if you replace it with a more powerful calculation.

Finally, after a glance at the taskbar and a general idea of the next topic, the ark exited the system space.

……

Day after day, the award ceremony is getting closer and closer.

Although the award ceremony for the Nobel Prize began on December 10, there was a press conference waiting for him on December 7, and in order not to appear rushed, the winners would travel half a week or even a week in advance, as was customary.

First Thursday in December.

With five of his own students, the Ark drove to Kennedy International Airport in New York on a flight to Sweden.

After more than a dozen hours of flight, the plane landed smoothly on the runway at Stockholm Airport.

Entering the VIP corridor at the reception of airport staff, the Ark met with Dean Staffan Normack, Permanent Secretary of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and Vice-President of the Nobel Foundation, who had come to greet him.

This is the second time the Ark has come to the city.

It was also the second time he saw this Staffan.

Opening his arms, he warmly embraced the shoulder of the boat and held his right hand. “Welcome, Professor Ark! I didn't expect to see you again in just two years. ”

“Two years and seven months, to be exact," he shook with his right hand from Mother Staffan, and the ark laughed and said, “Long time no see. ”

The last time we met was because of the Crawford Prize, which was also hosted by the Staffan Academician.

I didn't expect to see him for so long, but this old Viking was still so hard.

Of course, I'm afraid Staffan had more of an "unexpected” mind than his “unexpected."

“After the youngest winner of the Crawford Prize, I didn't expect you to refresh the record of the youngest winner of the Nobel Prize now," Academician Staffan said with a smile, looking at the ark. "Honestly, after seeing the Chemistry Prize Committee report your name, the Royal Academy of Sciences spent almost half a month discussing this. ”

The Ark joked: "Is it about my age or my mathematician identity? ”

Master Staffan laughed. “All of them. ”

After a chill, Mother Staffan looked at the people behind the ark.

“Who are these friends? ”

“They're my students, and they're coming with me to the banquet," the Ark said. ”

Staffan said with a smile: "Now that we have so many guests, let's not wait. Get in the car and wait for the hotel to talk. ”

The ark nodded with a smile: "So good. ”

Two Volvo sedans are parked outside the airport's VIP access.

According to Dean Staffan, the driver of the Royal Swedish Guard was driving.

Interestingly, there is something like the Royal Guard, but the Swedish royal family drives its own daily trips, even when the king goes to work.

No wonder Old Carl didn't even want the throne when he pursued Sylvia.

There's really nothing to be desired with such a cold crown.

After boarding the car, a group of people went straight to the Stockholm Grand Hotel.

In accordance with past Nobel Prize practice, Nobel Prize winners and their relatives are usually arranged here. The last time an ark came to Stockholm for the Crawford Prize ceremony, it lived here, and it still does, even with room numbers.

Stepping ahead of the ark, he saw his brother appearing at the door, and Xiaotong ran to the side of the ark with excitement and grabbed his arm.

Although it was a grip, not a hug, this little move made Vera nervous.

At this point, Hardy poked Qin Yue's arm and said in a gossip: “Hey, do you know what that girl has to do with the professor? ”

Qin Yue knew what he was thinking and sighed: “That's the professor's sister, isn't it? ”

When I heard it was my sister, Hardington looked bored.

Professor Lu's personal feelings, like his closed research method, are one of the legends on campus in Princeton.

Hardy was obviously more curious about the Nobel Prize than he was about to become more stable.

At this time, Wei Wen, who had never spoken, suddenly said: “Have you seen it before? ”

Qin Yue shook his head: “That's not there. ”

Wei Wen: “… how do you know? ”

Qin Yue said without a word: “Is this unknown? Stand next to your parents. You don't look too old, you're not your sister. Can you still be the target? ”

Wei Wen pointed to the tall girl with his chin: “What about the other one? ”

Qin Yue was silent for a while and said in an uncertain tone.

“Sis?”

Wei Wen shook his head.

“I don't think so. ”
