Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 479: Urgent Dispatch
In the morning, Chen Zhou had just opened his sleepy eyes, and he hadn't had time to turn off the alarm clock that woke him up.
Then I heard the exciting prompt sound popping up in my mind.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the first stage of the hidden linguistics mission: the cornerstone of civilization communication!"
"Mission Description: If the future is forged with flames, then persistent perseverance and passion are necessary conditions for the flames to burn! And the academic medal illuminated by the flames is a reward for the host!"
"The host who won the Chern Prize in Mathematics and the Morningside Prize in Mathematics has once again expanded his influence to a new level and has subtly changed many people!"
"Completion status: This is not an immediate task. After the host won the Chern Prize in Mathematics and the Morningside Prize in Mathematics, the host's previous influence on the Chinese mathematics community and the Chinese people was once again ignited! This is a positive influence that promotes the innovative development of basic science!"
"Completion time: This is an influence that has accumulated over time and is deeply embedded in people's hearts! This United Mathematicians Conference is both a new seed and the fuse of the old seed! The time will not be calculated in detail!"
"Obtained mission reward: 25,000 linguistics experience points!"
"Note: Although the time for this task is not calculated in detail, it is still an immediate task. Publishing it means completion!"
Chen Zhou quickly woke up as the system read out the prompt sound.
Listening to the content of the system prompt, a hint of pride gradually appeared at the corner of Chen Zhou's mouth.
The reason why Chen Zhou was so proud was not because of anything else, but because this was the first time that the system praised him so openly.
And he was praising him the whole time!
It's really a special feeling to hear compliments as soon as I open my eyes early in the morning.
When the system prompt sound in his mind disappeared, Chen Zhou lay back on the bed .
Close your eyes and your consciousness will enter the system space.
On that pure transparent display screen, there are lines of refreshed prompt messages.
Although I had heard the system prompt sound just now, I saw these prompt messages with my own eyes.
This is an unexpected yet reasonable surprise.
Still, Chen Zhou was very happy.
Although compared to the tens of thousands of experience points gained when completing the math task.
The experience points gained from this linguistics stage task are not much, only 25,000.
But these 25,000 experience points are enough to upgrade linguistics to the next level!
And after leveling up, you will still have 17,000 experience points left!
This is not like completing the last math task, even though I gained 100,000 experience points.
But I can't even level up, I only have one fifth of the experience points needed to level up...
This kind of happiness of being able to upgrade is what makes Chen Zhou happiest.
At the same time, Chen Zhou also confirmed his previous guess.
One is the mechanism that triggers this hidden task.
It has been basically confirmed that this hidden task will be triggered at such academic medal awarding ceremonies.
And the name of this hidden mission is still "The Cornerstone of the Spread of Civilization."
The name of the mission is exactly the same as the previous two times you completed this linguistic hidden mission.
In other words, the task at this stage is far from over.
This also told Chen Zhou that the trigger mechanism that had been identified could be reused many times in the future.
As long as you obtain the corresponding academic medal, you can complete a hidden task in linguistics.
From this perspective, as long as Chen Zhou is capable enough, he can start a journey of gaining linguistics experience points as he had thought before.
At the same time, another thing Chen Zhou confirmed was the possibility of gaining experience points from hidden tasks.
This possibility refers to the amount of experience points.
Last time, Chen Zhou guessed that the more important the award, the more experience points would be awarded.
Judging from this year's Chern Prize in Mathematics and the Morningside Prize in Mathematics, Chen Zhou has basically confirmed this speculation.
The weight of the two mathematics awards is definitely higher than that of the Cole Prize in Number Theory.
Therefore, the linguistics experience points Chen Zhou gained also increased from 15,000 last time to 25,000 this time.
Therefore, Chen Zhou firmly believed in one thing.
With the increase in awards, the experience value of linguistics will eventually change from quantitative change to qualitative change, bringing linguistics to new heights!
Finally, there is one more point, which is what Chen Zhou had previously guessed. This hidden linguistic task is mainly influenced by his own behavior.
In completing this mission, Chen Zhou basically confirmed this matter.
He received an academic medal at the Congress of Mathematicians, which was the condition for triggering the hidden task of linguistics.
The impact of his behavior determines the conditions for completing the task.
As for these two, Chen Zhou is fully capable of deciding whether to receive the academic medal.
As long as he can maintain the current research efficiency and pace as everyone expects or not.
As for winning the award, there is no need to worry at all.
On the contrary, he may not have the time and will have to think carefully about whether to go and receive the award.
However, the impact of behavior may not be so easy to control.
What kind of impact will your behavior and deeds have on others?
This is not something Chen Zhou can decide at all.
Fortunately, the acquisition of academic medals can provide a prerequisite for behavioral influence.
Coupled with the intentional guidance of public opinion, the influence caused by Chen Zhou is basically positive energy.
Thinking of the old leader’s opening speech at the Mathematicians’ Conference yesterday, Chen Zhou felt more at ease.
Chen Zhou no longer thought about it and was completely relieved about the future upgrade of linguistics.
As long as he works hard, he will become better and better and more outstanding.
Then, the days and nights he spent searching, those black notes on the draft paper, and those empty pen refills will certainly not treat him unfairly.
The more you accumulate, the more dazzling the medal will be.
Chen Zhou raised his head and looked at the transparent display screen in front of him.
The prompt message on the display disappeared after Chen Zhou read it.
At this moment, only Chen Zhou's personal information was displayed on the screen.
Chen Zhou didn't even have to think about it. He would definitely add all of the newly acquired 25,000 linguistics experience points to linguistics.
This thing can't be converted, and if you don't add it all, it will just take up space.
As Chen Zhou stretched out his hand, he clicked on linguistics quickly and continuously.
All the 25,000 linguistics experience points were consumed.
Linguistics also rose from Lv3 to Lv4.
What was different from the past was that this time Chen Zhou no longer put up any excessive and meaningless resistance.
Anyway, the feeling is so strong every time, and the more you resist, the stronger the feeling becomes.
Instead of this, you might as well enjoy it.
As he was "wrapped" by the warm current, Chen Zhou quickly sank into this feeling that was like a spring breeze, as warm as jade, and extremely comfortable.
"Oh~oh~so~comfortable~I want more~"
Comfortable murmurs continued to come out of Chen Zhou's mouth.
If someone could see Chen Zhou's expression at this moment and listen to the sound he made, they would definitely think that he was doing something shameful...
"Enjoying yourself is the best choice..."
Chen Zhou now feels that his previous self was simply on the wrong track.
For something so enjoyable, why would you think of preparing in advance?
Immersed in the refreshing feeling, Chen Zhou was savoring the ultimate beauty that had just occurred.
Speaking of which, the sense of comfort he experienced when upgrading the subjects in the system was something Captain Chen Zhou had never experienced in his life.
After finally pulling himself out of this feeling, Chen Zhou turned his gaze to the display screen.
On the display screen, Chen Zhou's personal information was refreshed again.
"Name: Chen Zhou"
“Rating: Pseudo-academic master”
"Linguistics Lv4 (17000/50000)"
"Natural Sciences:"
"Mathematics Lv7 (0/500000)"
"Physics Lv6 (0/200000)"

“Task: In progress (new tasks are refreshed, please click to view)”
"Note: The balance of natural science experience points is 108,000, and the balance of applied science experience points is 4,000."
With a faint smile on his lips, Chen Zhou looked at his current personal information with great satisfaction.
Linguistics, which originally had no idea how to gain experience points, has now become the third highest-ranked subject.
This was something Chen Zhou had never thought of.
Chen Zhou feels that the current development of the discipline is relatively balanced.
After all, the leader in linguistics has caught up.
Mathematics, the leader, is also far ahead.
As for other smaller disciplines, except for physics which is being studied and developed in practice, it is never too late to study chemistry, biology and applied sciences when you have enough books to use them.
After exiting the system space, Chen Zhou always had a faint smile on his face.
In fact, everyone is the same.
If you encounter happy things when you wake up in the morning, you will be in a good mood for the whole day.
Even if you encounter any troubles along the way, your attitude towards solving them will be positive.
Just like Chen Zhou, on the way to Capital International Airport.
He then received a call from Friedman regarding the jellyball experiment.
Friedman told him that the laboratory was extremely short of staff.
He was not able to control the situation before.
Some of the original researchers have resigned or transferred to other laboratories.
Their research progress was slowed down a lot.
If the current situation continues, they will most likely not be able to complete this final experimental plan.
This was something that Chen Zhou had not expected, nor was it something that Friedman and others had anticipated.
In their view, Friedman's prestige should be enough to resolve the issue of this final experimental plan.
It will surely calm the hearts of the researchers in the laboratory.
But unexpectedly, the worst situation still happened.
On the phone, before Chen Zhou asked about the situation, Friedman explained the reasons that led to this situation.
It turned out to be a joint operation between US government departments and SLAC senior management.
They viewed this last experimental plan as a waste of energy.
Therefore, they were unwilling to give Friedman and others even this last chance.
The original closure plan was chosen based on a speech Friedman gave at a seminar at the end of the previous jellyball experiment.
They chose the time carefully, before the time estimated by Friedman.
No one expected that Chen Zhou would suddenly appear and bring the final experimental plan to Friedman.
So, after Friedman launched his final experimental plan, they also changed their actions appropriately.
It was also because of their intervention that the researchers who had originally doubted this final plan were encouraged to leave.
After all, rather than staying in this final experimental group that he didn't want to see, it would be better to accept the generous conditions they offered and transfer to other laboratories.
After listening to Friedman's words, Chen Zhou's expression gradually became serious: "Professor Friedman, can we really not complete the final experiment as scheduled?"
Friedman sighed heavily and did not answer Chen Zhou directly. Instead, he asked, "When will you come to SLAC?"
Chen Zhou immediately replied: "We can get there today!"
Friedman didn't know yet that Chen Zhou had already bought a plane ticket and would arrive at SLAC today.
So when Friedman heard Chen Zhou's words, he was stunned for a moment, then he said in surprise: "You can arrive today?"
Chen Zhou said with certainty: "It can arrive today. The flight is at 12:00 Beijing time and will probably land in the morning US time."
Friedman heard this and immediately said, "Send me your flight information, and I'll ask Cross to pick you up early tomorrow morning!"
Chen Zhou was a little surprised when he heard this.
Professor Cross is probably Friedman's personal driver. Why was he sent out to pick me up? What could be going on?
After thinking for a while, Chen Zhou said, "Professor, I still have more than ten hours on the plane. You might as well tell me your ideas first. I'll think about it more."
Friedman smiled and said, "I was planning to give you a stress-free schedule before you get down to work, but since you asked me about it yourself, I'll just tell you directly..."
Immediately afterwards, Friedman told Chen Zhou all his ideas, or more precisely, the implementation methods of the final experimental plan.
Of course, the implementation of this method requires Chen Zhou's full commitment.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Chen Zhou fails, this matter will eventually come to an end.
Moreover, even if Chen Zhou did not let down, it is still unknown whether this matter could ultimately succeed and obtain the desired result, that is, finding the rubber ball.
But in this case, Friedman has decided that he must take a gamble.
If we don't take the gamble this time, we will never have another chance .
He had been searching for the rubber ball for so long, but he was afraid that he would never be able to witness the moment it was discovered.
After listening to Friedman's words, Chen Zhou fell silent.
Friedman did not urge Chen Zhou, but just waited silently for Chen Zhou's answer.
He believed in Chen Zhou, just as he went against all odds and used Chen Zhou's paper as the guiding paper for the final experimental plan.
After a long while, Chen Zhou suddenly chuckled and said to Friedman, "Professor, if you are not afraid of messing up, then I am certainly not afraid either! I will do my best for this urgent task!"
Hearing Chen Zhou's voice, Friedman felt relieved, and the big rock that had been hanging in the air also fell a little.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Zhou's face was filled with a faint smile again.
Chen Zhou also brought this smile on the plane.
When he boarded the plane, the beautiful flight attendant saw the warm smile on his face and took the initiative to greet him: "Sir, did you encounter any happy things today?"
Chen Zhou smiled and replied: "Today started beautifully, and I hope today will always be beautiful."
The beautiful flight attendant smiled and said, "Sir, I believe you will get what you want. Today will definitely be a wonderful day!"
Chen Zhou nodded gently and replied politely: "Thank you, I appreciate your good words."
The beautiful flight attendant also said politely: "You're welcome. I hope you have a pleasant journey!"
