Chapter 345: Sue me

It has been a month since Lu Zhou's paper was published in "JACS", and the debate on the theoretical model of the electrochemical interface structure has also become increasingly fierce.
It is also because of controversy that this paper has received more and more attention.
What really pushes this attention from the theoretical chemistry world to the entire mathematics world is the natural favor for Lu Zhou's research. Although this time his thesis was too professional and did not choose to submit to Science, Science still set a "highlights" for his thesis.
Not only that, in the journal Science, the famous theoretical chemist, 13-year Nobel laureate, Professor Martin Caplas of Harvard University, was invited to write a scientific review and commented on the research results.
"... I have been following his thesis all the time, but I did not expect that his results would be born so quickly. There is no doubt that this is a great research result. For the correctness of this research result, I personally The view is quite optimistic. Because it answers a lot about the electrochemical interface, I still have confused questions. "
"As of now, the Nobel Prize has only patronized the field of computational chemistry twice. But I believe that in the near future, the glory of Nobel will once again favor this young field."
Prior to this, Martin Caplas was awarded 13 years for his outstanding contribution to the multiscale simulation method for the design of complex molecular systems by proposing the Caplas equation about the relationship between the coupling constant and the dihedral angle. Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
As a rare theoretical chemist who is proficient in mathematics, Caprath has outstanding contributions in many fields such as quantum chemistry, biological macromolecules, and molecular dynamics models.
It is for this reason that the publication of this article immediately pushed the attention of the original paper to a peak.
In particular, as one of the two world-class top journals, Science itself has made many scholars outside the field of chemistry, even people who eat melon understand this paper.
And at the same time, a photo went viral on Columbia University's Twitter circle.
It was a figure standing in front of the thinker.
In the picture, there is only one line of text-
"A mortal saw a bronze statue, and he saw the universe."
This photo was taken a month ago.
It is said that a Ph.D. in the Department of Philosophy took the photo on the way back to the dormitory apartment.
According to the doctor's self-report, he just thought it was interesting for a person to stand in front of the "thinker" for so long, and then took a picture.
After I got home, I might have just drunk a bit of wine, and I got up with a line of text and posted it on Twitter.
He didn't even expect that the tweet would be turned out after a month, and that it would spread so widely.
In fact, this tweet did not attract people's special attention at that time. It was not until the Nobel Prize winner's scientific review in Science in 2013 that it gave this photo a completely different meaning.
It even gave it a hint of legend.
It's like Newton favored by Apple. Although everyone knows that the formula of gravitation can never be told by Apple, a story that can give serious science a romantic color is often easier to be accepted by the public. It is easier to be used as a chatter after dinner.
Standing in front of the bronze statue of the "Thinker" was inspired and a new chemistry was born in my mind. This story obviously also fits these elements.
However, Lu Zhou did not know about these things that happened on Twitter. It was only recently that when he walked on the campus of Columbia University, he was recognized more and more. Many people even came over and took photos with him. .
Although confused about the enthusiasm of these people, Lu Zhou was a very easy-going and very talkative person. He basically answered some requests that were not excessive.
As for those who are too enthusiastic or naughty and intend to do something to him ...
He naturally refused.
What's more interesting is that it wasn't just the boat that caught fire at Columbia University.
Even with the bronze statue that nobody cares about, they even became lively.
There are more and more people standing in front of it, including professors and students facing exams.
It's hard to say whether it's a good thing or a bad thing for it sitting there thinking quietly ...
...
Happy times are always short.
As the time to leave was getting closer, it was time for Lu Zhou to say goodbye to the university.
Before leaving, Professor Lee Carol Bringer, the president of Columbia University, personally sent him to the school gate.
"You can see that Columbia students like you very much, don't you really consider staying?"
"If Mr. Isgrub heard that I had been here as a visiting scholar for two months and was dug twice, I don't know what he would look like," Lu Zhou said in a joking tone.
Mr. Isgrub is the president of Princeton University. Lu Zhou and he are not very familiar, but they occasionally meet in work.
"Oh, please don't do this, I'm just thinking about my students," Professor Blinger said with a smile, "If it's convenient, please say hello to Mr. Isglub for me. Also, Columbia The school door is always open to you, I hope you can come back often. "
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Thank you."
After a pause, Professor Bringer changed his solemn tone a bit, and continued, "In fact, we have prepared a gift for you. But this gift is special, and you need to ask for your opinion ..."
Lu Zhou: "May I ask, what kind of gift?"
"The Honorary Professor of Columbia University may disappoint you. This is just a useless title," Professor Bullinger smiled. "I wonder if you would accept it?"
Lu Zhou froze slightly, then nodded with a smile: "This is my honor."
Professor Bullinger also smiled and nodded happily: "It is also an honor for Columbia University."
Honorary professors can have many titles, just like foreign academicians. Prior to that, he had only an honorary professor title awarded by Jinling University.
This title represents Columbia University's recognition of his academic ability, and also represents his friendship with Columbia University.
As a part of academic capital, this kind of thing is like a medal, and no one is too much.
After walking out of Columbia University's gate, Lu Zhou was on the side of the highway and took his Ford Explorer.
Sitting in the driver's seat was Jericho. After hearing the professor's intention to return, the young man volunteered to drive over to pick him up.
Although Lu Zhou originally planned to go back by train, he could not agree with him and agreed to his proposal.
"Professor, shall we go directly to school?"
Lu Zhou fastened his seatbelt: "Of course, if it's fast, we can't help but hurry up for lunch."
"Good professor." Jericho nodded and started the car.
However, just as he was about to hit the road, a man in a suit and a little dusty look suddenly slammed on the front of his car.
Agitated by this sudden situation, Lu Zhou suddenly said in his heart that he was holding the grass.
Is this ...
The legendary touch porcelain?
I haven't encountered it in Jinling, but I have encountered it here?
Jericho apparently froze. He had stepped on the accelerator to take it back, as if he had never seen it before.
The Ford Explorer roared low and stopped after a trembling.
After stopping Lu Zhou's car, the man in a suit rushed down from the hood ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and quickly walked to the door. Looking at Lu Zhou coming down from the car, he folded his hands and begged with a snot and a tear.
"Please, for God's sake, let me go."
Lu Zhou looked at him with a grimace, some puzzled.
"Speak slowly, don't worry, who are you ...?"
Heaven and earth conscience, he has never seen this man.
How could it be that he did something to bully the male and female.
If this is spread, how bad will it be ...
Lu Zhou glanced subconsciously from side to side. Indeed, many passing students turned their eyes to this side.
Noticing what happened here, the security guard at Columbia University's gate was touching the baton and staring here intentionally or unintentionally.
In recent years, there have been frequent shootings, and the police force at the school has strengthened. Although New York is the most banned state in the United States, security issues still receive considerable attention.
This can be seen from the blocks and protective gear on those security guards.
"I ..." The suit man looked a little awkward, hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I'm Ricardo ... I used to work in your institute."
When he heard the name, Lu Zhou was suddenly shocked.
With a generous smile, Lu Zhou said, "Why do I still think about it? Rest assured, I have dropped the lawsuit against you."
Although he was a bit angry when he was just digging the corner.
But it's been so long now, not to mention that this man has helped himself so much, he didn't take it to heart for a long time.
As a result, Lu Zhou did not expect that after hearing the withdrawal, Ricardo's expression became even more distraught.
"No, please don't do this! Please continue to sue me! I beg you!"
Lu Zhou: ...?
What?
