Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Time passed by and soon entered April.

With the arrival of the spring break, the students who had been squeezed by a heavy school of semester finally ushered in a brief liberation. In this less than two-week holiday, they can enjoy life without thinking about academic matters.

Even the busy Princeton campus has been dyed in many relaxed colors.

“I am going to Fort Lauderdale. If you have time, you can go with me.” In the dining area on the first floor of the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies, Senior Brother Luo, who sat down to eat, invited Lu Zhou.

Dahai and the beach are usually the first choice for spring break activities. Compared to Hawaii, Fort Lauderdale’s travel prices are relatively close to the people. Since the beginning of 1934, it has become the Holy Land of American college spring break. At this time of the year, there is a lot of people there, so that it is not only the big student of the United States, but also the overseas tourists who come here.

However, for Lu Zhou, this is a strange place name.

Lu Zhou hesitated for a moment and asked: “Where is Fort Lauderdale?”

“In Florida, Venice in North America… You don’t even know where Fort Lauderdale is? How did you come over this year?” Louwen Xuan looked at Lu Zhou incredulously.

Lu Zhou made a helpless expression.

“My PhD has been read only for a few months, and it has ended without letting go of the spring break.”

The atmosphere is a little subtle.

Louwen Xuan coughed softly: “Can we not mention the doctor’s degree?”

Lu Zhou: “… amount, sorry.”

He almost forgot, when he was studying undergraduate, Senior Brother Luo studied for a doctoral degree at Edward Witten. Now that he has received his Ph.D., Senior Brother Luo still has not graduated…

It’s really not good to mention such sad things on this happy day.

However, the mental endurance of Senior Brother Luo is still quite strong. After all, at the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies, where World’s most talented brain is gathered, it is enough to be genius and not have a strong inner heart.

After all, there is a gap between genius and genius.

Quickly adjusted his mood, Senior Brother Luo continued to return to the previous topic and continued to talk about the topic of spring break.

“Spring break is a good opportunity, or do you want to be single for a lifetime? If you don’t know how to chase a beautiful girl, I can teach you how to talk, which is actually very easy.”

Lu Zhou looked at him unexpectedly, but the focus was not on the skill of the conversation, but on…

“Are you going to change your girlfriend?”

“In fact, it has changed.” Louwen Xuan coughed softly, and his expression seemed to be somewhat uncomfortable to discuss the topic. “The reason for this is a bit complicated, so don’t ask.”

Lu Zhou: “…”

If he remembers correctly, probably in February, at the party that celebrated the Adams Chemistry Award, the guy wandered in front of him with his girlfriend.

It took less than two months to return to being single.

The speed of this change of girlfriend is almost faster than the speed at which he sent thesis.

“The rhythm of the livelihood here is like this, you have to learn to adapt,” notes Lu Zhou’s speechless expression, Louwen Xuan explains. “If you often touch the circle of students, you will find that this is a very common thing. ”

“That’s the problem,” folded the sandwich’s wrapper into a small stack and threw it on the plate, Lu Zhou sighed said. “I often feel out of place because I am too fucked.”

Upon hearing this, Louwen Xuan was suddenly unhappy.

“What you said, it seems that I have no exercise.”

Lu Zhou: “Is it not?”

Louwen Xuan: “…”

……

In fact, Lu Zhou is still curious about what Senior Brother Luo said.

Is Fort Lauderdale in the spring break really like the ones in the movie, full of youthful atmosphere and pungent alcohol?

If there is nothing else, he doesn’t mind going to the Senior Brother Luo.

However, the premise is that if you are not busy…

On the first Saturday of April, Lu Zhou gave his students a week of small vacations. After more than three months of intense study, they also need time to rest and adjust their status.

But for Lu Zhou himself, there is no such leisure.

On the first day of the spring break, he took the plane and went to San Francisco on the West Coast to attend the Organic Chemistry Symposium at the American Chemistry Society.

There, he will take away his glory and leave a speech about 60 minutes.

Although the scale of this conference is not as large as the MRS conference at the top of the Material Science community, its influence is not inferior. It is also one of the top conferences in the field of organic synthesis.

After all, the influence of the American Chemistry Society is much bigger than Material Science. The former is not only older than the latter 1st year, but has an indispensable influence on industry and even politics.

After several hours of flight, the plane landed at the airport in San Francisco.

Picking up at the airport is Sarrot, the once-deferated Cornell University Professor, who now looks radiant.

An iron-clad suit, a vintage oil head, and a beard on his face were also cleaned a lot. Essence, Qi, Spirit didn’t know how much better than a few months ago.

Have to say that thesis is the life of Scholar.

The weight of a Science, although not enough to completely change the status quo, has somewhat restored his position at Cornell University.

If you say that when you first sold the research institute, there are still some flaws in his heart. I often ask myself “Is it really worth it?”

Now, he has no doubt at all how wise he is to make choices.

“Welcome, my dear friend, welcome to San Francisco!” The face greeted with a smile, and Sarrot extended his right hand across the distance. “Congratulations, Roger Adams Award, you are away from Stockholm.” Go one step further.”

Shaking hands with Sarrot, Lu Zhou played with with a smile: “I have already gone to Stockholm once.”

“Then go again, this time will be Nobel’s palace!” Sarot said with a smile. “I heard this familiar Professor said that the award committee is discussing whether the modified PDMS material should be given. Nomination.”

Lu Zhou laughed didn’t speak.

Sarto’s optimism is as unreliable as his scientific intuition, especially when he cites words that others have never said before, which makes it difficult to distinguish between true and false.

In addition, if the Nobel Prize is so good, it will not be regarded as the crown of the scientific community.

Do not say anything else, even the father of lithium-ion batteries, the legendary “good enough” mister (John B. Goodenough), have been ranked for more than 30 years, and have not yet reached. I want to rely on the technology of lithium anode material, and it is not difficult to take this crown.

However, Lu Zhou is not in a hurry.

He is still young and his research career is still very long.

Whether it is modified PDMS material or HCS-1 material, or just in front of the Adams Chemistry Award, it is just a beginning for him…
