Chapter 314: Misunderstanding

Fiction Net, the latest chapter of the black technology system of Xueba will be updated as soon as possible!
Perhaps because of age, Lu Zhou always felt that the distance between him and the students was very small, especially Qin Yue and Hardy were one year older than him, and there was no age gap at all.
Probably the same in the eyes of his students, he is also a respectable but not so dignified "boss".
In order to convince Luzhou, Hardy even came up with the absurd saying "this is Princeton's tradition". Lu Zhou has lived here for so long. It is the first time that I heard that Princeton has a tradition of having to party to celebrate the prize.
Obviously, this was compiled by Hardy Hu.
However, because of his enthusiasm and other students' interest, Lu Zhou left him alone.
The location of the party is naturally in the cabin of the land boat. As for the number of participants, six people are tentatively set.
However, in the end, the size of the party was unexpected.
He originally planned to celebrate with his students, but it turned out that he did not know who spread the news of his award, and then more than one or two people came to celebrate.
First, Brother Luo and his current girlfriend expressed their return. Later, Brother Luo's mentor, Edward Witten, heard the news and followed.
Then came Deligne. Although the old Belgian didn't like to go to crowded places, he came to the party with a bottle of whiskey.
Then there are the friends Lu Zhou met at the Ivy Club, and the professors and researchers who have a good relationship with him at Pu Gao Suo ...
Fortunately, Lu Zhou had prepared a lot of champagne and food in advance, otherwise he would not necessarily cope.
On the day of the party, the scent of barbecue and beer permeated the lawn in front of the cottage.
Standing beside the long table, Lu Zhou and his former mentor were chatting about the problem of computing materials.
Unlike Lu Zhou's view, Deligne doesn't think this is a very meaningful work, that he is wasting time.
"... Mathematics is pure. It is more an art than a tool. What mathematicians should think about is how to build this building. As for how to apply it to other fields, it is a physicist or a chemist. Things. "
Taking a sip of whiskey, the bright-headed old man was as sharp as ever.
"My dear Professor Deligne, I can't agree with you," Witten, a quarter of a bald man, suddenly inserted into the topic, saying with great vigor, "Mathematics is a great tool, but it is just a field of mathematics The study of the Chinese can't reflect its greatness at all. Only when it is applied to more realistic fields can it exert its maximum value ... such as physics. "
"I don't see any practical significance in your M theory," Deligne let him shut his mouth sharply, then looked at Lu Zhou, silenced for a moment, and raised his goblet.
"Anyway, this is a glory that matches you. Congratulations."
Lu Zhou met his mentor and said happily, "Thank you."
"And me, congratulations," Witten grinned, and also touched Lu Zhou's glass, saying in a light tone, "Perhaps the Princeton Institute should open a calculation material--"
Deligne said with a stern expression: "Impossible."
Whitten shrugged. "Well, I'm just kidding, when I didn't say."
The original purpose of the establishment of Pu Gao was to establish a Platonic college of pure theoretical research. In addition to one professor of biophysics, the six full-time researchers of the Institute of Natural Sciences are all studying theoretical physics and astrophysics.
As for the Institute of Mathematics, there are many research directions, but all are purely mathematics.
After all, there are enough people studying applied science, and there must be a noble group of people who continue to explore in the field of theory.
As for what is it useful for?
Before the birth of semiconductor technology, no one could figure out what relativity and quantum mechanics were useful for.
...
Everyone at the party was very happy, and Lu Zhou was quite happy.
For him, the Adams Chemistry Award was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.
He originally thought that his first cross-field medal would be born in the field of theoretical physics, but he did not expect that the surprise that would surprise him was chemistry.
The $ 10,000 bonus is not expensive. In fact, almost all the winners are not concerned about this meager bonus.
Compared with scholars who study mathematics and theoretical physics, scholars who study chemistry are more wealthy. With a little attention to the issue of intellectual property, financial freedom can be easily achieved.
As usual, in addition to receiving the award, Lu Zhou will also give a speech at the Symposium on Organic Chemistry held in San Francisco in April this year.
The speech can be academic or non-academic, depending on individual choices.
However, although there is no need to submit in advance, Lu Zhou still intends to prepare carefully.
Coincidentally, on the third day of his return to Princeton, Professor Salot made a video call with him to report on the research progress during this time.
"... According to your request, we did 200 sets of experiments, and the relevant experimental data has been sent to your mailbox. But I must tell you an unfortunate news that we were not observed in the reaction room that you predicted. This is a cage-like molecule. IMHO, using carbon nanotubes to modify fullerene materials may sound interesting, but it is not a good research idea. "
Sarot was tired when he said this.
He has been busy this month ~ EbookFREE.me ~ to control the reaction temperature and reaction time, and did a lot of experiments. Regrettably, apart from the pile of soot that is complex and useless, there are no surprises at all.
Sitting on an office chair, turning the ball-point pen to the boat, his face thoughtfully appeared.
"Are you gaining nothing?"
"That's not true," Sarott shrugged. "Although we didn't get what you wanted, according to the experiment you designed, we harvested many samples that we have never seen before ... ... though I don't decide what is useful. "
Lu Zhou's heart moved slightly and said, "You send some of those by-products."
Salot: "OK, send it directly to your office at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton?"
Lu Zhou thought for a while and said, "Send it to Flick Chemical Laboratory, just write my name on it. I'm not sure that the receiving and dispatching room of the Princeton Institute of Technology will accept packages marked with chemical information."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou turned on the computer and pulled out the email that Sarote sent to himself.
The product information, quality analysis test results and other data are listed in the email.
After carefully seeing the experiment report at the end, Lu Zhou exhaled, leaned back on the office chair, and fell into thought.
From the macro data, the carbon nanotubes and fullerene materials that opened the π bond did not recombine under thermal reaction conditions as he expected.
Although this is theoretically feasible, from a practical standpoint, countless side reactions make this operation difficult to achieve at all.
But he still didn't expect it, not even a microgram sample was collected. ) Book friends, pay attention!
