In the second week after the interview, the latest edition of the “Time” weekly international edition was released.

The characters interviewed in this issue are quite special.

Because it was not a political leader, not a movie star, or an entrepreneur who called the wind and summon the rain in the capital market, but a Scholar.

Compared to other professions, the distance between this profession and the public is undoubtedly far away. An interview about science or Scholar is often easily labeled as a boring label.

Surprisingly, however, when Julie Drake’s interview came out, it still attracted widespread attention.

When she got this week, Lu Zhou was on a flight from New York to Berlin. Because I was busy reporting the meeting some time ago, he almost forgot about it after the interview.

Suddenly seeing this weekly magazine in a boring wait is an unexpected surprise for him in the livelihood.

Although I don’t really care about the public’s evaluation of myself, Lu Zhou is still a bit curious about how a World-class newspaper will give himself a rating.

Turning over the title page, Lu Zhou looks down the line of text.

[… Three years ago, he did not have any brilliant research results, nor did he have a dazzling medal today, and there were no countless young Scholars or students. He visited the library of National Quemoy University like a pilgrimage, just to sit. In the seat he used to sit, I hope to borrow his inspiration and thoughts. 】

[Thirty years later, he not only possesses all of this, but also uses God’s language mathematics to paint a completely different world for everyone. 】

[Standing on the stage of the Stockholm Concert Hall, when he took the Crawford Prize medal, he won not only the affirmation of the Royal Swedish Academy, but also the recognition of the entire World. Because of the Goldbach conjecture that once plagued the mathematics, he finally completed the last stick in his hand. 】

[Today, his new achievements in the field of materials have turned lithium-sulfur batteries into a reality from a beautiful vision. Any consumer who uses electronic products enjoys the convenience of his research directly or indirectly. 】

[In academia, very few Scholars can reach such a height when they are young. And after being famous, it will not be bound by fame and fortune, still maintain the spirit of enterprising and transcendence, and climb the new Everest on the road of science. Even if this is a global perspective, even beyond the boundaries of academia, it is also awkward. Few. 】

[After all, driving into an unknown Sea Territory requires more than just the courage to fail. 】

[Recently, he was invited by the Max Planck Society to travel to Europe to attend a conference for him. At the conference, he will present his latest research findings to the academic community on the theoretical model of the electrical chemistry interface structure. 】

[As he promised, he will redefine science with mathematics. Whether or not this was a successful attempt, he fulfilled his original promise. 】

[He is not just a person, but a symbol. 】

[This symbol belongs to the Scholar of the freshman generation, and it belongs to this era of rapid change. 】

[I wish our science is always young, and we wish our future will be even better. 】

[Times Weekly International Edition, 2017.8.21.

— Julie Drake

Looking at the international version of Time magazine, Lu Zhou’s mouth evoked a smile.

“Time” does not make a positive evaluation of every respondent, and there are not a few satirical satires. However, there is no doubt that this article about him is obviously positive.

Of course, the one that most satisfied him was the photo on the cover.

Whether it’s a line of densely packed formulas and letters like incandation on the blackboard, or books and literature piled up at the corner of the table, it emphasizes the identity of his mathematics home. But all this did not make him look like a old-fashioned old school, or a nerd criticized by mainstream North American society.

On the contrary, wearing the favorite plaid T-shirt, he looks just like the ordinary science and engineering student, not even a professor.

The unfinished chalk pinch is in the right hand, and the left arm is carried like the captain of the Pirates of the Caribbean, but it is not the parrot that rests on his arm, but the “little guy” of the Princeton Drone Club.

Yes, the name of the four-rotor drone is called “little guy.”

Perhaps the editor of Time magazine wants to use his ever-rotating four rotors to symbolize his never-ending thinking.

Of course, Lu Zhou feels that all of this can be abstracted into a single word.

As for what it is, I believe that he does not need to say more, anyone who sees this photo will have the same idea.

Yes, that’s right.

This word reads shuai, the one who reads four.

……

After a few hours of flight, a bright silver flight landed slowly at Tegel Airport in Berlin.

With the suitcase down the ramp, Lu Zhou was warmly welcomed shortly after he got off the plane.

Under the crowd of a group of people, I saw a gray-haired old man who stretched out the right hand from a distance and walked with a smile.

“Hello, Lu Zhou mister, welcome to Berlin.”

Released the grip of the suitcase, Lu Zhou shook hands with him, said with a smile.

“Hello there!”

Because it is in English, even if Lu Zhou does not speak German, it does not affect communication.

After the routine greetings, the old man looked towards Lu Zhou and introduced himself and several Scholars behind him.

“Please allow me to introduce myself. I am the president of the Max Planck Society, Martin Straman.” Paused, Strawman Professor looked towards the person closest to him and continued to introduce him to him. It is Claus von Klein Professor…”

Although it was the first time to meet, Lu Zhou has long been known about the name of Martin Stratmann.

The president of the Max Planck Society has served as the director of the famous steel research institute of the Max Planck Institute and an expert in the field of surface chemistry.

In his field of study, the Kelvin scanning probe he invented was widely used to study the hidden interface in corrosion science, revealing the stability mechanism of the metal-polymer interface, and covering the metal surface with ultra-thin electrolyte. Outstanding research results have been achieved in research fields such as chemistry properties.

Lu Zhou studied hissis when he studied the problems related to Material Science in the Rocky Library, although he was reading the English translation.

As for the Klee Youth Professor, there is no need to mention his achievements. Whether he is studying theoretical physics or condensed physics, as long as he has studied quantum mechanics, he will see his name in textbooks or literature.

The most famous of his many research results is the quantum Hall effect, and he won the Nobel Prize in 85.

In addition to Clichy, there is the Etter Professor, director of the Max Planck Institute for Physics Chemistry, and the Faltins Professor, who once had a relationship with Lu Zhou.

Nothing changed when I saw it last year. The old-fashioned and arrogant German man, who is still the temper, is the expression that is not easy to get along with.

“Hello there.”

“You are good,”.

“We meet again.”

“…Yes, I met again.”

Lu Zhou thought that meeting with “peer” would be more intimate. After four sentences, there was no communication between the two.

However, for this arrogant old man, since it appeared at the pick-up site, I thought it would be in his unique way to express his recognition.

After all, there are not many people who can give this big face to face.

Even if you searched the entire mathematics world, you couldn’t count a few fingers.

Lu Zhou analyzed a wave of chaos and felt that he thought so, it should still make sense.
