Sometimes, it's such a coincidence.

If Lu Zhou knew what the Chairman of Sweetwright was thinking at this moment, he would probably accept the nomination from the International Society for Materials Research and participate in the annual award of the Society Alliance.

Honor is second to him.

He would not recommend a trip to North America if he could make a small contribution to peace, stability, and common cooperation between the two countries over the next ten or even two decades.

After all, compared to the vast universe, that benefit on the earth is too small.

In addition, I haven't visited Princeton for a long time. Lu Zhou still misses his old friends.

Unfortunately, however, the International Federation of Materials Research Societies did not imply this in the nomination email.

Therefore, when Assistant Zhao took the e-mail to Lu Zhou, he only glanced and said.

"Reply a letter for me and push it out."

Thinking that he had heard it wrong, Zhao Huan stunned himself and looked at Lu Zhou unbelievably.

"Push, push away?"

Lu Zhou: "Yes."

Zhao Huan looked at Lu Zhou with a little overwhelmed and said, "Yes, but this is the letter of nomination from the International Materials Research Society Alliance. The annual award of that society alliance should be important, right?"

This is a prize of 100,000 dollars.

Although he knew that his boss was not short of money, Zhao Huan felt a little distressed for him.

Lu Zhou replied casually: "It is because of the importance that I hope they can consider more young scholars."

Although the annual award of the Society Alliance is quite a gold award, it is far worse than the Nobel Prize. With these auras wrapped around him, even if he won another Nobel Prize, it doesn't make much sense, let alone an annual prize from a confederation of academic associations.

At this time, Lu Zhou suddenly noticed the embarrassed expression on Zhao Huan's face, and immediately understood what she was worried about.

"So let's write this reply myself, so I won't bother you."

Hearing this sentence, although Zhao Huan felt sorry for him, he was finally relieved.

After all, if such a critical thing is in place, that's okay. If something goes wrong, Academician Lu's meaning is not fully expressed, then she will have to come back.

Let Zhao Huan go to prepare the lesson for himself first, Lu Zhoushun opened the computer, logged in to the office mailbox, and began to edit the reply to the International Union of Materials Research Society.

After spending about two or three lines, Lu Zhou simply thanked the International Institute of Materials Research for nominating himself, and then politely and politely expressed his willingness to withdraw from the annual award selection ...

"The implicit density functional method is a theory of computational materials science that I accidentally summarized when I was studying carbon materials. Before that, I hadn't expected any honor to rely on it ... Of course, it doesn't.

"As I said before in the interview, compared to people like me who have lost their thirst for honor and money and only hope to reveal more about the mysteries of the universe in my lifetime, give me The award of such an award is meaningless. "

"I'll find someone to report on the theory of implicit functional density, but the medals are okay. I hope you can think more about young people who have more potential and need recognition than me."

"They need these honors more than I do, and their cause needs support!"

After tapping the last punctuation mark, Lu Zhou checked the mail from beginning to end, determined that there was no error in meaning, and then hit the send button.

Then he thought for a while, pulled out his cell phone, opened the address book, and called his apprentice.

"Hey."

"……Hey?"

The other end of the phone is very quiet, and Han Mengqi's voice is very low. It seems to be in the library or a similar place.

"What are you doing?"

"Self-study in the library ... what happened?"

With a ballpoint pen in his hand, he leaned on the office chair of the office chair, and said, "Well, I may have to ask you for something. Are there any arrangements recently?"

"Huh? Arrange, no, what's wrong--"

The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly flustered somehow, so much that I didn't suppress the sound, but although Lu Zhou felt strange, he didn't think about it, and said.

"There is a seminar on computational materials science. If you are interested, can you go for me?"

"Calculation, computational materials science seminar?"

The moment she heard this request, Han Mengqi froze slightly, her restless heartbeat finally calmed down, but her brows frowned slightly.

"No problem, no problem ... But, I have turned to the study of pure mathematics? I haven't encountered computational materials for a long time ..."

"It's okay, this doesn't conflict, let alone review the knowledge you have learned before, just forget all those things I taught you, it is a shame," Lu Zhou smiled and continued Say, "You have more than a month to prepare, and you can also ask me if there is something you can't do. Ah, but this is still voluntary, if you really don't want to."

Although he is a mentor, Lu Zhou rarely occupies himself as a mentor. Most of the time he still talks with his students in a negotiated tone.

If Han Mengqi is really not interested, he will not force too much. Although it is a pity that this opportunity to emerge internationally, personal choices must be respected.

It seemed to be worrying about something. After Han Mengqi tangled for a while, he sighed with a headache.

"Okay ... I'll give it a try."

Since this time, she has been studying the transcendental problem of the value of the Riemann zeta function at odd positive integer points. This is also a doctoral project that Lu Zhou assigned to her when she worshipped under Lu Zhoumen.

However, this topic is as difficult as its name. Although not as bt as Riemann's conjecture, it is not easy to solve it.

At that time, they agreed that as long as she could make any effective research in this direction-or enough to be able to make progress in a district journal, she was allowed to get her doctorate from her.

And if she can't complete this task, she will never want to graduate from her. Even if she is the cousin of the school sister, Lu Zhou will never show mercy on her.

Of course, Lu Zhou also left her a backward path, which is to continue the research of computational materials science.

It's just that this retreat Han Mengqi has never considered, and never intends to consider.

Now the research just entered a dead end, and it's okay to go out and relax while changing my mind ...

Thinking so, Han Mengqi started to ask.

"It's easy to ask, where is the report?"

Lu Zhou smiled brightly and said, "It should be in Boston. This academic report was at the April meeting of the International Society for Materials Research, and I will send you information about the meeting in a while. Don't worry about the tolls, first class tickets and five The star hotel is reimbursed in full, remember to have fun, and if you meet my old friends, remember to say hello to them and me. "

Han Mengqi: "..."

International Federation of Materials Research Societies ...

I did not expect such an important meeting.

Suddenly she regretted it, so promised.
