Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Perhaps because of age, Lu Zhou always felt that the distance between himself and the students was very small, especially Qin Yue and Hadi were 1st year years older than him, and there was no gap in age.

It may be the same in his student’s eyes. He is also a “Boss” worthy of respect but not much majesty.

In order to convince Lu Zhou, Hardy even came up with the absurd statement that “this is the tradition of Princeton.” Lu Zhou lived here for so long, and it was the first time that I heard that Princeton had a prize to celebrate the tradition of party celebration.

Obviously, this is compiled by Hardy Hu.

But looking at his enthusiasm, and other students are also very interested, Lu Zhou is also his.

The location of the party is naturally in Lu Zhou’s cabin. As for the number of participants, there are tentative six.

In the end, however, the size of the party was beyond the expectations of Lu Zhou.

Originally, he only intended to celebrate with his students. As a result, I did not know who passed the news of his award, and then there were more than one person to celebrate.

First, Senior Brother Luo and his current girlfriend came back. Later, the mentor of Senior Brother Luo, Edward Witten, heard the news and followed.

Then there was Pierre Deligne, although the Belgian old man didn’t like to go to many places, but still came to the party with a bottle of whiskey.

Then there are friends Lu Zhou knows at the Ivy Club, and Professors and researchers who have a good relationship with him in the Pugao…

Fortunately, Lu Zhou has prepared a lot of champagne and food in advance, otherwise it will not necessarily cope.

On the day of the party, the lawn in front of the cottage was filled with the fragrance of barbecue and beer.

Standing next to the long table, Lu Zhou and his former mentor were chatting about the issue of calculating materials.

Unlike Lu Zhou’s, Pierre Deligne doesn’t think it’s a very rewarding job, thinking he is wasting his time.

“…the mathematics is pure, it is more like an art than a tool. What mathematics should think about is how to build this building. As for how to apply it to other fields, it is the Physics or Chemistry home. thing.”

Taking a sip of whiskey, the bright-eyed old man, his eyes are as sharp as ever.

“My dear Professor Pierre Deligne, I can’t agree with you,” Witten a quarter of Witten, suddenly inserted the topic, plausible words, “mathematics is a great tool, but only the mathematics of the field Research can’t show its greatness at all, only when it is applied to more realistic areas, can it exert its greatest value… such as physics.”

“I can’t see your M theory with any practical significance,” Pierre Deligne snapped his mouth, then looked toward Lu Zhou, silent for a while, raising his goblet.

“In any case, this is a glory that can match you, congratulations.”

Lu Zhou touched his mentor and said with pleasure: “Thank you.”

“And me, congratulations.” Witten grinned and touched Lu Zhou and said in a relaxed tone. “Perhaps the Princeton Institute of Higher Education should open a calculation material -“

Pierre Deligne said with a slap in the face: “Impossible.”

Witten shrugged: “Well, I just made a joke, when I didn’t say it.”

The original intention of the establishment of Pugao was to establish a purely theoretical study of the Platonic Academy. The 7 full-time researcher of the Natural Science Research Institute, in addition to the 1 name biology physics Professor, the other 6 people are studying theoretical physics and celestial physics.

As for the mathematics research institute, there are many research directions, but none of them are pure mathematics.

After all, there are enough people studying applied science, and there must be a group of noble people to continue to explore in the field of theory.

What is the use of this?

Before the birth of semiconductor technology, no one could understand what the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics were.

……

Everyone at the party was very happy, and Lu Zhou was quite happy.

For him, the Adams Chemistry Award is undoubtedly an unexpected surprise.

He originally thought that his first cross-disciplinary medal would be born in the field of theoretical physics, but he did not expect to bring him this surprise.

The $10,000 prize is not expensive. In fact, almost all the winners are not interested in this meager bonus.

Compared to the study of mathematics and theoretical Physics, the study of Chemistry’s Scholar is still relatively affluent. As long as you pay a little attention to the issue of intellectual property, you can easily achieve financial freedom.

In accordance with established practice, in addition to receiving the award, Lu Zhou will also give a speech at the Organic Chemistry Symposium in San Francisco this year at 4.

This speech can be academic or non-academic, depending on personal choice.

However, although there is no need to submit a draft in advance, Lu Zhou intends to prepare carefully.

Coincidentally, on the third day of his return to Princeton, the Sarot Professor made a video call with him and reported on the progress of the research during this time.

“…According to your request, we have done the 200 group experiment, and the relevant experimental data has been sent to your mailbox. But I must tell you an unfortunate news, we have not observed the prediction in the reaction room. Cage-like molecular molecules. In my opinion, the use of carbon nanotubes to modify fullerene materials, which sounds interesting, is not a good research idea.”

When he said this, Sarrot looked tired.

He has been busy with this for a month, controlling reaction temperature and reaction time, and doing a lot of experiments. Regrettably, however, there was no surprise at all except for the pile of complex and useless carbon ash.

Sitting in the office chair, Lu Zhou, who turned the ballpoint pen, showed a thoughtful expression on his face.

“Is nothing?”

“That’s not it,” said Sarrot shrugged. “Although I didn’t get what you wanted, but according to the experiment you designed, we still found a lot of samples that I have never seen before. I am not going to determine what is useful.”

Lu Zhou made a slight move and said: “You send some of those by-products.”

Sarrot: “Okay, send it directly to your office at the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies?”

Lu Zhou thought about it and said, “Send it to Frick’s chemistry lab. It’s okay to write my name. I’m not sure that the Princeton Institute of Advanced Research’s mailroom doesn’t accept packages with chemical information.”

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou turned on the computer and pulled out the email that Sarrot sent to himself.

The product information, quality analysis test results and other data are listed in the mail.

The experimental report was carefully seen. Finally, Lu Zhou put out a long breath, leaning back on the office chair and thinking about it.

From the macroscopic data, the π-bonded carbon nanotubes and fullerene materials did not recombine under the thermal reaction conditions as he expected.

Although this is theoretically feasible, from a practical perspective, countless side reactions make this operation difficult to achieve.

It’s just that he still didn’t expect it, even a microgram of sample was not collected.

“It seems to have to redesign the experiment!”

The ballpoint pen was lightly lit on the desk, and Lu Zhou thought in his heart.

At the end of the month, ask for a ticket, monthly ticket~~~
