Ultimate Scholar

Time passed quietly.

It’s the end of October.

"Your student's graduation application has been approved. You can notify them to go through the graduation procedures."

Dean Martin Taylor came to Li Mu's office and told him the news. Of course, he also brought the graduation certificates and degree certificates of the four people.

"I understand, thank you Dean Taylor."

"Haha, I have nothing to thank you for. Although you are leaving soon, I still want to thank you for cultivating four outstanding students for our college."

Two papers in top journals, and in terms of value alone, those two papers cannot be measured by just one top journal.

And these two papers came from graduate students of their college, which is obviously a good thing for their college.

Martin Taylor smiled, then patted Li Mu on the shoulder: "Now that the last thing you have done is completed, when do you plan to leave?"

"Well...in ten days."

Li Mu said.

"Ten days later... Okay, I understand." Martin Taylor nodded and left.

The door closed, and Li Mu was the only one left in the office again.

At this time, he also sunk his thoughts into his heart.

"Congratulations to the host, you have completed the task [Inheritance of Knowledge]."

"During the mission, the host successfully guided four students to complete their projects and achieve graduation."

"This mission brought 15,000 energy points to the upgrade. The current upgrade progress is 80632/100000."

Hearing the voice in his head, Li Mu narrowed his eyes.

This voice has been heard for a long time.

It's been almost a year.

The upgrade progress has reached more than 80,000, and the distance to upgrade is only less than 20,000.

After upgrading, his mind computer will reach level 5.

He still doesn't know how powerful the Level 5 mental computer will be.

But judging from the level 5 simulation space he has experienced so far, the effect of level 5 will definitely be very strong.

"If you think about it this way, after I complete another task, I will probably be able to upgrade."

With this thought in his mind, he looked at the remaining task on the task list.

[The miracle of normal temperature superconductivity].

Successfully synthesized room-temperature superconductors...

"This mission has been over for more than a year."

Li Mu sighed in his heart, of course, and then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Although it took a long time, it was worth it.

He sank his attention into the simulated space of the real universe environment.

Next to the normal-temperature superconductor material provided by the system, there is also another piece of metal material.

And as long as you magnify it and enter the microscopic field of view, you can find that the two pieces of materials are already very close in terms of microscopic composition.

This means that Li Mu is about to reproduce this normal-temperature superconductor.

"Now, there's still a little to go..."

His heart moved slightly, then he took a piece of scratch paper from the side and wrote a series of complicated formulas on it.

If you come to a professor who has studied the Boltzmann equation in depth, he will probably be able to recognize this equation. This is a new structure obtained by Li Mu after his original research on the Boltzmann equation. Now It can be called the Lie-Boltzmann equation.

This brand-new equation has now become the main method in statistical physics and is of great help in studying the behavior of a large number of particles.

"According to theoretical calculations, there should be no problem, but the structure is still a little bit behind... This last point should be due to the insufficient understanding of the bonding mechanism between electrons."

He recalled the current synthesis process.

“First, copper and iron are melted together in a conventional method, and then niobium needs to be sprinkled in in the form of niobium powder. During this process, the niobium powder quickly melts in and is mixed into the copper-iron molten slurry due to density... …The final zinc needs to be solidified into it in the form of zinc vapor, but there must be something missing in the middle.”

Li Mu shook his head.

This is the difficulty of material reverse engineering. Formulas and other information can be discovered using various existing instruments, but it is almost impossible to reverse engineer the process. After all, there may be various variables in the whole process. For example, the temperature, the form of the raw materials, the method used, etc.

Just like the industrial process questions in high school chemistry.

The ultimate goal of the questions may be to prepare the same product, such as refining aluminum, copper, iron, etc., but the processes may be completely different.

Even different catalysts can bring different results.

Li Mu was suddenly stunned.

"catalyst?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly remembered that he had almost ignored the catalyst.

Of course, it could also be an inhibitor.

However, both catalysts and inhibitors may affect the properties of the final product.

After all, what he synthesized in the end was an alloy, a mixture, not a pure substance.

In alloys, the structural composition of different metals will also bring different effects.

Thinking of this, Li Mu's eyes gradually lit up.

"Yes, there is a high probability that it is the catalyst!"

Recall that the difference between the product he has synthesized now and the real room-temperature superconductor LSC alloy lies in the degree of zinc binding, and if a catalyst can be used to bring some help...

Thinking of this, Li Mu gradually became convinced of his thoughts.

Suddenly, at this moment, there was a knock on the office door, which made him temporarily put aside what he was thinking.

"Please come in."

he said.

The door opened and four of his students slipped in.

"Professor, we met Dean Taylor just now and he told us that our graduation procedures have been completed?"

Looking at the inquiring looks of the four young people, Li Mu smiled.

"Yes."

He took out the graduation certificates and degree certificates of the four people and placed them in front of them.

"This is your certificate. Congratulations to you for completing all your master's studies. I hope you have a bright future and bring more surprises to the academic world."

The four people took their two certificates and looked at them with excitement on their faces.

"Thank you Professor!"

"We will!"

Looking at the four people, Li Mu had a smile on his face.

Now, he can go through the resignation procedures and leave Oxford University at any time.

However, there was one last thing he had to do.

…

Andrew Wiles' office.

"Leaving soon?"

Looking at Li Mu walking in, Wiles said hello and asked with a smile.

"Well, let's go now." Li Mu nodded.

And in his hand, he was holding a briefcase.

Wiles looked at him with some confusion as he opened his briefcase and took out a stack of draft papers that had been sorted out.

"What are you doing?"

Li Mu smiled and said: "Professor, you gave me that pen before. Today, I will give you some manuscripts I wrote with that pen after I came to Oxford."

Wiles was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up from his seat and walked up.

Donating manuscripts, whether in academia, the art world, or other different fields, has a very profound meaning.

Etiquette is less important than affection, and the manuscript can definitely be included among them.

The higher the status of the giver, the higher the value of these manuscripts.

How valuable is Li Mu's manuscript?

Wiles walked up and picked up the first stack casually, and then he was stunned: "Is this the manuscript you used to prove Goldbach's conjecture?"

The second line, "And this is..."

Wiles opened his eyes wide again: "Is this the manuscript that Li opened?"

"And this..."

At a glance, almost all of them are manuscripts of Li Mu's important achievements, and there is even a manuscript of his proving the millennium problem of the Navier-Stokes equation.

If these manuscripts were auctioned decades or hundreds of years later, they would probably fetch a lot of money.

Of course, what Wiles is thinking about right now is how to protect these scraps of scrap paper, which are considered precious throughout the history of mathematics.

After taking out all the draft paper, Li Mu zipped up his briefcase again and said with a smile, "That's it."

Wiles, on the other hand, still looked down at the manuscripts and said, "Tsk, I like this gift very much."

"That's good." Li Mu smiled and nodded.

"In addition, I have one more thing, and I hope the professor can help me."

"Well, tell me."

"It's about my house."

Wiles came back to his senses and looked at Li Mu: "That house of yours?"

"Oh! I remember, that house you bought for one pound?"

"Yes." Li Mu nodded: "I plan to sell it for another pound. Of course, I am leaving soon, so I can only leave this matter to you, Professor."

"As for the reward--it's just the pound."

Wiles suddenly burst into laughter, pointed at Li Mu a few times, and said, "Okay, leave this matter to me, for the sake of these manuscripts."

"Of course, it's also to help find an owner like you for that house, so that it can live up to Atiya's original wishes."

Speaking of this, Wiles couldn't help but look at Li Mu a few more times, and finally shook his head, "Forget it, if it's the same as you, the request is a bit too high, just about the same."

Li Mu smiled and shook his head, then said: "Thank you, Professor."

"On the day I leave, I will leave relevant information and property certificates with you."

"Well, go ahead, go ahead." Wiles waved his hand while continuing to look at Li Mu's manuscripts: "I won't give them to you."

Li Mu waved his hand and left the office.

…

Time goes by like running water and will never return.

On the night when Li Mu completed his resignation procedures, Merton College once again prepared a farewell dinner for Li Mu.

At the dinner, Dean Taylor held a new letter of appointment and handed it to Li Mu.

"Although Li is no longer our full professor from today, our Merton College still has sincere sincerity in inviting Mr. Li to become our honorary professor. Is Mr. Li willing?"

Faced with such a surprise, Li Mu was also a little surprised. Of course, he accepted the appointment letter without hesitation: "Of course, this is my honor."

"Haha, okay! Then let us welcome Professor Li back!"

"Professor Li! Professor Li!"

The students of Merton College shouted loudly.

Although their Professor Li has left, he is still back. At least, as an honorary professor, he is still their professor!

A night of farewell.

Li Mu, sitting with a group of professors, watched the young students celebrating.

"Dean Taylor, I've always been curious, why do you always hold banquets like this for me? Are they all paid for by the college?"

"Huh? Don't you know?" Taylor asked Li Mu.

Li Mu looked confused: "Isn't he from the academy? I always thought so."

"It was always Miss Grosvenor's expense."

said Professor Richter, Isha Grosvenor’s mentor.

"That's it." Li Mu suddenly realized.

However, among the many people present, Isa Grosvenor was not among them. She had graduated long ago.

Li Mu sighed slightly, then closed his eyes and used his brain computer to cool down the restless hormones in his body.

However, the secretion of hormones was suppressed, but his mood was still unstable.

"So self-awareness can still produce feelings independently, right?"

"Androids also dream about electronic sheep?"

Li Mu shook his head mockingly.

…

The plane flew across the high sky and finally landed slowly at Shangjing International Airport.

When the passengers on the plane got off the plane, they were surprised to find that their shuttle bus had not arrived yet, but a Hongqi L5 car was already parked next to the gangway.

People were discussing who this car was coming to pick up. However, that was not all. More cars drove over, and then a bunch of media reporters got down from above, holding long guns and short cannons, aiming at the hatch. .

This surprised the passengers even more.

At this moment, a young man wearing sunglasses walked out of the cabin door, immediately attracting the attention of all cameras.

Of course, as the young man took off his glasses, people immediately recognized him, which immediately aroused more exclamations.

However, Li Mu, who had already experienced such a scene once, didn't care at all.

Walked down the gangway.

Zhang Liangwei was already waiting for him below. When Li Mu came down, he smiled and extended his hand.

"Welcome back home."
