[Congratulations, Host, for achieving the hidden achievement "Transcending the Era".] [Description: No matter how much the old-fashioned resist, before the wheels of the times, most smart people will still have to admit that it is truly appealing.] [Received: Lottery Chance x1, 100,000 Engineering Experience Points, 5,000 Points.]
Sitting amid the bustling crowd at the product launch, Lu Zhou hesitated slightly when the pale blue dialog box suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
A system reward?
Without much hesitation, he rested the back of his head against the seat, closed his eyes, and silently called out, "System." Before long, his consciousness arrived in that expanse of pure white space.
Honestly, the conditions for this system to trigger hidden achievements were ridiculously mysterious.
Lu Zhou still had not figured out exactly how to fulfill those triggering conditions.
Logically speaking, among his many research achievements, the carbon-based chip was definitely not his most outstanding accomplishment.
What was more, throughout the entire research process, he had merely completed a great deal of foundational theoretical work, including the Mott Insulator, as well as the industrial-scale preparation of SG-1 material—which he had already solved long ago while working on Controlled Fusion—and found the right people.
Yet the system had judged that he had completed a hidden achievement.
Wait...
A thought suddenly struck him, and Lu Zhou felt as though he had grasped a clue.
Could it be that the system was actually encouraging him to advance disciplines indirectly?
Just like when he had guided Vera and the others in completing the proof of the Hailstone Conjecture back at Princeton...
Of course, there was another possibility: he had achieved those major scientific breakthroughs that "would originally have been issued as tasks" without them being system tasks.
All of this was merely speculation based on
