Chapter 311: 2 more apprentices

With the last batch of instruments on the road, Qian Zhongming and Liu Bo also returned to China from Belgium.
Including Dr. Yang Xu, Lu Zhou's research institute already has three formal researchers.
For a formal research institution, this number is far from enough, but those who have counted PhD and master's degrees in internship contracts with the research institute of Jinda University can start relevant experiments.
According to Lu Zhou's arrangement, Yang Xu will design experiments to influence the specific surface area and pore diameter of hollow carbon spheres on the sulfur load, the mass fraction of polysulfide compounds in the electrolyte, and other data, and draw a curve image.
Based on these data, Lu Zhou will analyze these data through mathematical methods and design new experiments to solve the problem of polysulfide diffusion.
Strictly speaking, this is the first time that Lu Zhou is engaged in the research and development of materials technology, and it is also the first time that he has established a theory for computational materials science and applied it in practical experiments.
After all, the modified pdms film technology recovered from Wreck No. 1 mainly benefits from the power of the scanning gun. The mathematical model he built on this basis was just to give a reasonable explanation for the conclusion.
If this project is successful, it will provide real factual arguments for his theory.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhou's heart was also full of expectations.
If the solution of the lithium dendrite problem only changed the field of new energy, the results of this experiment will likely be the key to bridge the gap between mathematics and chemistry.
Whether it's from the perspective of a chemist or a mathematician, this is an exciting thing ...
As the experiment proceeded in an orderly manner, things on the Chinese side came to an end, and it was time for Lu Zhou to return to Princeton.
After hearing that Lu Zhou was planning to return to Princeton, Academician Xu personally sent Lu Zhou to the airport.
When he was in the car, the old man's expression was rather reluctant. Seeing that he was about to reach the airport, he couldn't help talking.
"How is your life during this time?"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "I feel pretty good."
Academician Xu: "If you just stay here, don't borrow that experimental building, as long as you are willing to stay, it will be yours from now on!"
Expected that the elderly would say so, Lu Zhou shook his head slightly.
"It's not time yet."
Academician Xu couldn't help but said, "Isn't it the same to get the Fields Medal in Jinda as to get it in Princeton?"
"It's completely different," Lu Zhou said without intending to conceal his thoughts. "A locally cultivated Nobel scholar and a returning Nobel scholar may have no difference in academic achievements, but they are affected The emphasis is completely different. You are an academician and you should understand. "
These words should not have been so straightforward, after all, they had to be covered with a layer of window paper.
But he had good relations with several old professors in his alma mater, and Academician Xu regarded him as his own, so Lu Zhou didn't go around so many circles.
And, not only for this reason, because of the consideration of system tasks, he also needs a higher platform to improve himself.
Academician Xu was silent for a while, and sighed, "Maybe you are right ... all the way."
Lu Zhou clenched his fists: "Take care."
...
Chasing February's tail, Luzhou's flight arrived in Philadelphia.
At the entrance of the airport, he saw Qin Yue driving his Ford Explorer over to pick him up.
Before returning to China, Lu Zhou left the car keys in the drawer of the office and called Qin Yue before getting on the plane. After learning that he was free, he was told the location of the key and his flight information.
Help Lu Zhou stuff his luggage into the trunk, and Qin Yue, who returned to the driver's seat, started the car while talking to him.
"Professor, you are finally back."
Lu Zhou: "There are some things to deal with in Jinling. It's been a long time since I came back. You're fine."
"Very good," Qin Yue nodded, and said with some emotion. "It just feels so stressful. There are geniuses everywhere, and when I was in college, I didn't feel this atmosphere at all."
Like other universities in the United States, Princeton has countless clubs and societies to join. Students at Princeton, like students at other universities, play and don't confine themselves in the house as nerds.
However, in contrast, when they are studying, they also work very hard, and can even be described as fanaticism. Many people have completed their sophomore courses in their freshman year, and by the second year they have completed all the learning tasks of the undergraduate level.
The students of the Department of Mathematics and Physics are basically the same. If they can't keep up, they can only go to engineering majors. If they still ca n’t keep up, they have to study history.
In a sense, it is precisely this reason that constitutes Princeton's "disciplinary contempt chain".
Of course, Qin Yue's pressure mainly comes from Willa in the same group.
In Kakutani's conjecture, he had to work twice as hard to keep up with her rhythm.
I have to say that there is a gap between genius and genius.
"At this point, you should learn from Hadido. Hard work is the only way to success, but it is not necessary to let the troubles in study and work affect your life." Lu Zhou said in a relaxed tone. "My suggestion is that you can try to find a hobby, or find a girlfriend or something."
Qin Yue, who was driving, coughed, "Professor, I already have a girlfriend."
Lu Zhou froze and gave him an unbelievable glance: "... have it already? When?"
Qin Yuexuan said with a smile: "Well, in China, juniors started talking."
Lu Zhou: "..."
...
Before returning home, Lu Zhou plans to go to Princeton Advanced Institute.
The car was parked downstairs at the Institute of Higher Education, Qin Yue returned the key to Lu Zhou, and then hurried upstairs.
Lu Zhou glanced at his back in doubt, wondering why he didn't wait for himself to go up, but still said nothing, and then went upstairs.
Standing at the door of the office, looking at the closed door, Lu Zhou's expression was a little confused.
The moment he opened the door, a paper cannon slammed, and flying ribbons fluttered.
Five people standing in the office, unison.
"Welcome back! Professor."
Soon, Lu Zhou met Hardy's sly look, and immediately guessed whose idea it was.
Hiding the paper cannon behind her, Vera blushed and whispered, "This is Hardy's idea. I tried to persuade him."
Not only did Hardy feel embarrassed, but he smugly said, "I originally prepared champagne, but I heard that I can't drink here, so I had to drink it myself."
"I appreciate your creativity," Lu Zhou said relentlessly, tearing off the ribbon hanging from his ears. "In addition, please clean up here."
Although I was very touched by my students so much loved them ~ EbookFREE.me ~, but I found myself everywhere, and it was really troublesome.
"Oh, my professor, shouldn't these tasks be left to the newcomers?" Hardy complained to Lu Zhou with a grudge, but still consciously walked towards the broom.
A young man with freckles on his face who didn't look tall or short, said a little embarrassedly, "Otherwise, let me help you."
"Don't worry about him, this person is very energetic and needs to find something meaningful." Lu Zhou went to the desk and turned over the documents piled on the desk for a long time. He wanted to find those interview resumes. But it was not found.
Helplessly gave up sorting the papers across the table, Lu Zhou turned around and watched the two newcomers in the office clear their throats and speak.
"You guys ... introduce yourself first."
This time, two more master's students were in his laboratory.
One is from MIT, and the other is from Yanda University.
He intends to recruit only three graduate students in the field of number theory, and the two report his functional analysis. Compared with the pure number theory field, the research in this direction has a little bit to do with theoretical physics and applied mathematics.
Although Lu Zhou wanted to pull his alma mater, this year no one in the number of colleges passed the assessment of the Princeton interviewer.
I have to admit that in domestic universities, Mathematics still respects Yanda University and Aurora. Even if Jin Da's number of courts showed him a wickedness, there is still a long way to go before he can truly rise.
The freckled lad said immediately, "My name is Jericho."
Another serious-looking boy nodded and said, "Wei Wen."
Staring at Wei Wen for a while, Lu Zhou suddenly asked, "Have we seen each other?"
