Chapter 1255: Physics Level 9

[Congratulations, User, for completing the “Control of Earth and Moon” mission chain.]

[Description: In this vast and cold universe, human civilization has finally taken the first step toward aerospace development. Even though this step was full of difficulties, the future will be bright.]

[Mission evaluation: S]

[The three-stage mission chain is complete. The final reward is determined by the completion of the branch missions… Calculating rewards.]

[Engineering experience +1.5 million points, material science experience +1.2 million points, biochemistry experience +1 million points, information science +1 million points, energy experience +1 million points, physics experience +500,000 points, general experience +1 million points, general points + 10,000…]

The rewards came so suddenly.

Lu Zhou almost fainted at the series of experience points rewards…

This was probably the biggest reward he had ever gotten from the system.

But then again, this was also the longest time he spent completing a mission.

“This is like riding a roller coaster…”

Lu Zhou looked at his soaring experience points.

He was shocked at how fast he was progressing.

Except for physics and mathematics, he leveled up in almost every other subject. Energy science, which was a comprehensive subject, jumped two levels, from level 4 to level 6.

Oh, as well as information science.

The subject he always ignored also jumped two levels, going from level 5 to level 7.

Lu Zhou looked at the physics experience bar that still needed nearly another million experience points to level up. He hesitated for a long time before finally making up his mind. He then allocated the million experience points all to physics.

He was leveling up in so many subjects anyway.

His head was bound to hurt anyway.

He might as well go all out.

Since he reached the maximum mathematics level, his brain had evolved to new levels. Lu Zhou felt like this wouldn’t be like last time, where he went into a coma for two weeks after completing the controllable fusion mission chain.

Not to mention that he was lying on his bed.

With Xiao Ai watching over him, it should be fine.

Lu Zhou comforted himself and refreshed his characteristic panel.

[

A. Mathematics: Level 10

B. Physics: Level 9 (13,215/???)

C. Biochemistry: Level 7 (410,000/1.2 million)

D. Engineering: Level 7 (1 million/1.2 million)

E. Material Science: Level 7 (763,000/1.2 million)

F. Energy Science: LV6 (500,000/600,000)

G. Information science: Level 7 (100,000/1.2 million)

General points: 24,335

“Only one level away from maxing out physics?”

Lu Zhou looked at the three question marks in the physics experience bar for a while. He raised his right hand and rubbed his chin. After thinking for a moment, he spoke to himself.

“The leveling requirements for physics level 10 should be the same as mathematics level 10. A special leveling up mission should be needed.

“I wonder what it is…”

Maybe a “complete hyperspace theory” for warping space?

Or the mystery behind the Big Bang?

Or is it the last step to unify the four fundamental forces?

There are so many possibilities.

There were far more unsolved mysteries in physics than there were solved mysteries. There were many esoteric problems; all of which had the potential to become the level 10 mission.

Lu Zhou suddenly remembered that in addition to the experience points rewards, he seemed to have gained a lot of inventory items from branch missions and the main missions.

He opened his inventory and looked at his newly found items.

Generally speaking, his rewards were quite plentiful.

In addition to consumables such as Energy Medicine, memory enhancers, and a lot of weird garbage items, there were five high-tech samples.

However, for various reasons, these items were not useful for the time being. After taking a look, Lu Zhou left them alone in the inventory.

As Lu Zhou looked at the last item in the inventory, he had a smile on his face.

“This is amazing…”

[Golden “Legendary” mission card]

This is the best!

All of the other items combined wasn’t as precious as this card.

The pale golden card was floating quietly in the center of his inventory.

It was like a torch, illuminating the way to the future.

“I think the key to unlocking physics level 10 should be hidden behind this card.”

Lu Zhou looked carefully at the textured pale gold card. Without any hesitation, he reached out with his hand and clicked on the card.

The moment his fingertips touched the card, the card began to glow with a pale golden light. The card transformed into countless tiny specs of light.

A translucent pale golden dialog box gradually formed from the light specs.

When Lu Zhou read the text in the dialog box, he had a serious look on his face.

[Mission: Look far away]

[Mission description: Although the future sounds far away, its journey has already begun.]

[Requirements: Complete a great physics theory.]

[Rewards: ???]

Interesting…

So it’s not just the mission rewards.

The mission itself is a mystery…

…

NASA building.

An old man was inside the secretary’s office.

His tired eyes looked straight at the document on the table.

It was a report from the International Space Station.

Just two hours ago, their latest spacecraft observation system deployed on the International Space Station successfully locked on the Magpie Bridge 3, which was operating in the lunar transfer orbit.

The results were not optimistic…

For the United States.

If everything went according to plan, the Magpie Bridge 3 would successfully switch from the lunar transfer orbit to the 48-hour orbit tomorrow.

It would take 12 hours at least, 24 hours at most. After which the cargo that flew from the Moon would smoothly enter Earth’s atmosphere.

This would be a huge milestone in the history of aerospace development.

It would become a symbol, a token.

This symbol would mark the rise of an aerospace powerhouse.

As well as the decline of another aerospace powerhouse…

Carson was willing to bet that the Chinese must have prepared a grand welcoming ceremony for this gift from 300,000 kilometers away.

Based on his past experience, the Chinese loved ceremonies.

Director Carson looked away from the report on the table. He leaned back on the office chair, looked at the ceiling, and spoke to himself.

“Maybe I should have retired two years ago.”

His assistant, who was standing in front of his desk, hesitated for a moment and persuaded him.

“Are you sure… you want to give up on your career? You’re in charge now.”

“When the building has started to crumble, it takes more than just an excavator to fix it. Our development in the aerospace industry has stagnated for too long…” Director Carson went silent for a moment. He then sighed and said, “But there is no other way.”

At the end of the last century, they lost a strong competitor.

Over the past two decades, they had not made much progress in exploring the moon. In fact, they had even regressed. It wasn’t until 2018 did they restart their lunar plan, trying to regain their edge.

However, just like he said…

When they had finally realized where the problem was, it was already too late.

No one expected the Chinese to suddenly rise out of nowhere.

No one expected their ambition in aerospace.

After a long silence, the assistant spoke.

“What should we do?”

“There is no solution. There are only compromises.” Director Carson sighed. He leaned on the table and stood up.

“Book me a flight.”

“Where to?”

“Beijing.”
