Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 936: Basic Disciplines Completed! The First Purple Entries!
On the morning of August 8, Zhou Rui and Qiu Lixun left the Wanhu base together.

The follow-up work of the "Xingtian Project Team" has been temporarily handed over to other people. They will not stop. In fact, after the test flight, the number of things that need to be handled one by one has increased.

Before leaving, Qiu Lixun specifically went to consult Ma Weiming, wanting to ask what he should pay attention to at the academician awarding ceremony. After all, it was his first time and he was a little nervous.

Lord Electromagnetism: I don’t know. Who would care about such a small matter?
Maybe in his eyes, to be an academician, it’s enough to have hands?
Qiu Lixun was still unsure, and finally decided to follow Mr. Zhou's steps.

With Mr. Zhou at the forefront, nothing serious can go wrong.

If Mr. Zhou succeeds in showing off, I can also get some credit for it.

"Academician Qiu, let's go. It's too late."

"I'm coming!"

This time Zhou Rui traveled light and headed directly to Hongqiao from the base.

Qiu Lixun kept on calling on the way, mainly to contact family and friends. He had been confined in the base for more than two months. In addition to being awarded the academician title, he will also take a week's vacation in northern Beijing before returning to the Wanhu base.

As for the fact that he was a member of the Beijing No. 603 Institute, I don't know why I can't remember it.
Zhou Rui was relatively free, flipping through the bound volume of his papers, feeling relaxed and at ease.

He has already informed the people around him that he is leaving again.

After Qiu Lixun finished his long phone call, he glanced at what Zhou Rui was holding and asked curiously, "Academician Zhou is interested in nuclear physics?"

Zhou Rui flipped through the pages of the book and said, "Just reading something that interests me."

Qiu Lixun smiled and said with emotion: "I really envy your talent and energy. Unlike us, we can only advance in our own fields. When I was 20, I was willing to learn everything. When I was in my 30s, my vision became narrower and narrower. At my age now, I can only see things as small as a needle tip."

Zhou Rui shook his head: "Aviation engines are not 'needle-sized things', you are exaggerating."

After thinking for a while, Zhou Rui added: "However, the technological level of human beings is constantly advancing by puncturing places as small as the tip of a needle again and again. Everyone makes a breakthrough a little bit."

"You too?"

"Me? Anyway, I'm not a needle."

Qiu Lixun:
Zhou Rui glanced at Qiu Lixun and said meaningfully, "Don't worry. Maybe with the development of technology, the cost of learning will be lower and lower in the future. By then, everyone will have enough time to explore what they are interested in."

Qiu Lixun scratched his cheek, not understanding what Mr. Zhou meant.

He just wanted to bring the topic back and say: I am not a needle either.
There were no problems along the way, and Zhou Rui got on the train to Beijing North normally. The Fuxing high-speed rail makes the travel time of airplanes and railways basically the same, and it is also safer.

When he arrived in northern Beijing, Zhou Rui got on the Hongqi car that had arrived early yesterday and went directly to the arranged hotel.

Speaking of which, as a "double-academician", he had some disputes over procedures and reception.

Both the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering hope to be responsible for Academician Zhou's itinerary in Beijing, including the arrangements for the ceremony, which also conflict with each other, and there must be a priority.

Previously, according to Zhou Rui’s own wishes, the Academy of Engineering was the main focus, although the Academy of Sciences had greater authority and power between the two.

But we were later informed that the ceremony process of the two houses had been changed this year.
It was decided to hold it in the same venue.

Zhou Rui has no way of judging how much of his own role is involved, and the two houses will not say it clearly, so it's fine as long as it's convenient.

Because of the merger of the two academies' ceremony, it unexpectedly became the largest event in China's scientific research community this year.

----

An old but centrally located hotel in northern Beijing.

The floor was covered with a dark red floral carpet in the style of the last era. The bedside table was made of painted imitation mahogany with traces of bumps. At a glance, it seemed that the table was not much younger than Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui has become accustomed to the tone of the various departments in northern Beijing. The more formal the event is, the less high-profile and gorgeous it can be. It is meaningful to preserve so many old hotels.

In the afternoon, he had already experienced a lackluster social life, which consisted of meeting with staff and leaders of the two academies. He also met dozens of newly elected academicians at the hotel's buffet dinner.

This time, 46 people were elected from the Academy of Sciences and 50 from the Academy of Engineering, totaling 95 people, all of whom are here. It is slightly beyond the capacity of this hotel and it seems messy.

Especially since he knew very few people, but many people knew him, the meal was very uneasy. He was surrounded when he went to get the food, and the people who came to chat were lining up to order everything from stir-fried green beans to tomato and egg soup.

So he ate something and returned to his room early to avoid the hustle and bustle.

Considering that he had personal security personnel, the two academies thoughtfully provided him with a suite. Lin Tuo and the others sat outside, while Zhou Rui continued to look through the bound volumes of his thesis.

Time passed by minute by minute, and finally at one o'clock in the morning, Zhou Rui heard the last system prompt tone.
He put down the bound volume of his papers.

Instead of turning on the system directly, he looked at the ceiling.

He let out a long breath.

Finally, the four basic subjects are about to be completed.
This is indeed a long road.

It took Zhou Rui five minutes to adjust his mood. He hugged his stomach with his hands, leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and turned on the system.

In the familiar system space, the last two of the three task bars emitted a faint glow, indicating that Zhou Rui could claim them at any time.

They are [Basic Nuclear Physics] and [Basic High Energy Physics] respectively.

But their names were not important. Zhou Rui silently said "Receive", and the two task bars quickly shattered, with the text on them constantly decomposing and reconstructing.
Two white lights flashed.

[Physics (VIII)], [Physics (IX)].

The same weak attributes and the same monotonous content, Zhou Rui didn't even look at them and directly invested in the skill tree.

The two entries turned into balls of light and quickly flew to the left side of the base of the towering tree, merging into a huge bubble. There were originally seven balls of light rotating inside, and now the light was even brighter, rotating as fast as an electric fan.

The recursive term [Physics Master] is changing.

"More than eight sub-items have been detected, and the success rate of the entry enhancement → 'Physical Touch' has increased to 33%."

"More than nine sub-items detected, the success rate of the entry enhancement → 'Physical Touch' increased to 50%."

"More than nine sub-items detected, the entry is strengthened → Rarity increased! Now changed to a blue entry: [Physics Master]!" "More than nine sub-items detected, the entry is strengthened → Gained a new ability: Castle in the Air."

"Special ability 'Castle in the Air': Once a year, the host can designate a physical experiment, the nature, design, and environmental impact of which are completely determined by the host, and the process, results, and conclusions are deduced according to the physical laws of this universe."

"Whether the experiment is successful or not depends on the host's design. The current number of times available is (1/1), and it is refreshed once every natural year."

"More than nine sub-items detected, the entry is strengthened → new ability is obtained: 'Everything has its own limits'."

"Special ability 'Extreme things are not reversed': The host's mental state is no longer affected by any negative influences, including illness, fatigue, drugs or chemicals and other side effects. It is immune to all mental interference. This state is permanent and passive."

Zhou Rui looked at the long list of prompts and nodded secretly.

As always, the [Subject Master] entry is still powerful.
The nine-in-one gift package can provide several extremely practical abilities even for a single subject.

Not to mention the thinking ability "Extreme Things Have Their Own Counteraction", it is equivalent to locking the brain's "health bar", no longer affected by debuffs, and is immune to the side effects of "Master Time".

The computing power-related "castles in the air" are even more incredible, directly giving him the ability to construct "physical experiments" in his mind.

Whether it is theoretical physics, high-energy physics, or nuclear physics, as long as he can design an experiment, he can obtain results based on real physical rules.

Even an absurd and impossible experiment like "if a stick three light years long pokes an object three light years away, will it exceed the speed of light?" is acceptable.

Just like the system said, its value depends entirely on how Zhou Rui designs it.

Just these two achievements alone are enough to show his hard work over such a long period of time. Of course, the [Subject Master] entry has never let him down.

However, the huge harvest at this moment is not the finale of tonight.

The real climax has just begun.

Zhou Rui opened the synthesis page.
Drag the four blue entries in one by one.

[Master of Mathematics], [Master of Physics], [Master of Chemistry], [Master of Biology].

The four basic disciplines have all been completed at this time.

Zhou Rui couldn't help but feel a little excited. He had been thinking about this day for years, and according to the rules of the system, this must be a synthesis path!
The power of the system comes more from synthesis. Only by continuous synthesis can the magic be revealed.
After all, its name is "Life Entry Synthesis System", right?

He no longer hesitated and silently uttered the long-awaited word "synthesis".

But the next moment.
"Retrieving the synthesis path. Retrieval failed. The synthesis path does not exist."

Zhou Rui was silent.
The brain worked quickly. After a moment, it silently dragged the fifth blue entry into the synthesis page.

【Master of Engineering】, the first master of a subject he obtained.

Although "engineering" is obviously not a basic subject in the classification of humans, transforming the material world is still the most important basic ability of human beings. Well, that's about the idea, but it's not very rigorous.

We also don't rule out the possibility that the system only looks at "quantity". If four isn't enough, five will do.

Finally, after silently reciting the synthesis again, everything was different.

"Retrieving the synthesis path, whether the synthesis path exists or not."

Zhou Rui concentrated for the second time and silently said "synthesis".

Five material entries are quickly dissolved into certain particles, and finally mixed, blended, and reconstructed.
Then a purple light appeared.

Zhou Rui's eyes flashed with purple!

This will be his first purple entry! Even earlier than the purple [Light of Humanity]!
When Zhou Rui went to see the entry effects, he was immediately overwhelmed by the dense information.

This was the entry with the most “information” he had ever seen!
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the purple entry [The Peak of Human Mind]."

"The original effect of the entry is no longer effective: detection abilities (Mathematical Eye, Physical Touch, Chemical Smell, Biological Caress, Engineering Knock) are integrated into a new ability, 'Left Eye of Insight'."

"Left Eye of Insight: You can obtain basic data about an object through vision. The success rate is 100%. There is no limit to the number of times it can be used. Using it consumes mental energy. The more detailed and in-depth the data, the greater the consumption."

"The original entry effects are no longer effective: Perception abilities (Topological Intuition, Particle Intuition, Catalytic Insight, Limit Perception, Analogy) are integrated into a new ability, 'Right Eye of Discovery'."

"Right Eye of Discovery: In the process of observation, participation, and practice, the host can passively discover key points and gain inspiration beyond thinking. This ability is passively triggered and does not require any consumption. Concentrating attention can greatly increase the probability."

"The original effects are no longer effective: simulation abilities (Great Evolution Returns to One, Castle in the Air, Tracing the Origin, Copycat, Similarity) are integrated into a new ability, 'Mind Creation'."

"'Mind Creation', the host can use the system's computing power to construct deductions and simulations in the brain, including but not limited to mathematical principles, chemical substances, biological genes, physical experiments, and engineering designs. It can be used five times per year."

"The original entry effects and thinking abilities (Simplifying the Complex, Unraveling the Mystery, Killing Two Birds with One Stone, Extreme Things Never End, Unity of Knowledge and Action) are completely inherited."

Above is the evolution of five expensive blue entries.

As a purple item, it is reasonable that it can inherit and enhance most of the abilities, otherwise Zhou Rui would suffer a huge loss.

What really made Zhou Rui feel the heavy weight of the name "The Pinnacle of Human Mind" was its two special attributes.

"Special effect 1 of the entry, Overlooking: The host's talents in any scientific research, intelligence, mind, and thinking direction, regardless of any field, have a lower limit that is the upper limit of the strongest person in the human race. This upper limit is dynamically updated, but needs to be actively activated."

"Note: From now on, your power will be firmly bound to the human race."

"Special effect 2: Look Up: The scientific field in which the host is active will gain wider support and enthusiasm from the human race, passively increasing the attention, concern, and resource allocation of all mankind to this field, and following the host's footsteps."

"Note: From now on, the fate of the human race will be closely related to you."

"The host is detected to have synthesized a purple entry for the first time. Now a host-related synthesis path is awarded."

"Synthesis Path: [Peak of Human Mind] + [Peak of Human Body] = [Perfect Life]"

"Host, please continue to work hard."

Zhou Rui looked at the introduction on the full screen and couldn't calm down for a long time.
