With the last batch of instruments on the road, Qian Zhongming and Liu Bo also returned to China from Belgium.

Counting Yang Xu, the Ph.D., there are already three official researchers in Lu Zhou’s research institute.

For a formal research institution, this figure is not enough. However, the doctors and masters who signed the internship contract with Jinda University can start the experiment.

According to Lu Zhou's arrangement, Yang Xu will design experiments on the specific surface area of ​​the hollow carbon sphere and the influence of pore size on the sulfur loading and the mass fraction of polysulfide in the electrolyte, and draw a curve image.

Based on these data, Lu Zhou will mathematically analyze these data and design new experiments to solve the problem of diffusion of polysulfide compounds.

Strictly speaking, this is Lu Zhou's first research and development of materials technology, and his theory for computational materials science, the first application in practical experiments.

After all, the modified pdms film technology recovered from the residue No. 1 is mainly due to the powerful tool of the scanner. The mathematical model he built on this basis is only to give a reasonable explanation for the conclusion.

If the project is successful, it will provide a true factual argument for his theory.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou’s heart is full of expectations.

If the solution to the lithium dendrite problem only changes the new energy field, then the results of this experiment will likely become the key to breaking through the bridge between mathematics and chemistry.

Whether it is from the perspective of a chemist or a mathematician, this is an exciting thing...

With the beginning of the experiment, the affairs of the Chinese side have come to an end, and Lu Zhou has arrived at the time of returning to Princeton.

After hearing that Lu Zhou was going to return to Princeton, Academician Xu sent the boat to the airport.

When I was in the car, the old gentleman’s expression was quite disappointing. When he saw that he was about to arrive at the airport, he couldn’t help but open his mouth.

"How do you feel about life during this time?"

Lu Zhou said with a smile: "It feels good."

Academician Xu: "If you just leave it here, don't borrow the lab building, as long as you are willing to stay, it is yours from now on!"

It is expected that the elderly will say so, Lu Zhou shook his head gently.

"It's not yet time."

Academician Xu couldn’t help but say: "Is this Fields Medal in Jinda not the same as in Princeton?"

“It’s totally different,” Lu Zhou did not intend to conceal his own ideas. He said directly, “A native-trained Nobel-level scholar and a returning Nobel-level scholar may have little difference in academic achievement, but they are The emphasis is completely different. You are an academician and you should know."

This statement should not have been so straightforward, and it still has to be covered with a layer of window paper.

However, his relationship with several old professors in his alma mater is good, and Xu Academician also regards him as his own person, so Lu Zhou has not circled so many circles.

Moreover, not only for this reason, he also needs a higher platform to upgrade himself for system tasks.

Academician Xu was silent for a while and sighed: "Maybe you are right... bon voyage."

Lu Zhou hugged his fist: "You also take care."

......

Chasing the tail of February, Lu Zhou’s flight arrived in Philadelphia.

At the entrance to the airport, he saw Qin Yue, who drove his Ford explorer to pick him up.

Before returning home, Lu Zhou left the car key in the drawer of the office and called Qin Yue before boarding the plane. After learning that he was free, he told him the location of the key and his flight information.

Help Lu Zhou stuff the baggage into the trunk, and Qin Yue, who returned to the driver's seat, started the car and said to him.

"Professor, you are finally back."

Lu Zhou: "There are some things to be dealt with at Jinling. I have been dragging back for a long time. You are okay."

"Very good," Qin Yue nodded, and said with some emotions, "I feel that the pressure is great. There are geniuses everywhere. When I was big, I didn't feel such an atmosphere at all."

Like other universities in the United States, Princeton has countless clubs and societies to join. Princeton students will play like other college students and will not be locked up in the house as a nerd.

However, in contrast, when they are learning, they also work hard, and can even describe it with fanaticism. Many people have completed the sophomore course in their freshman year, and by the second year they have completed all the learning tasks in the undergraduate stage.

Students in the Department of Mathematics and Physics are basically like this. If you can't keep up with this rhythm, you can only go to engineering majors. If you can't keep up, you can only study history.

In a sense, it is precisely this reason that constitutes Princeton's "discipline contempt chain."

Of course, the pressure of Qin Yue mainly comes from the same group of Vera.

In the subject of Kakutani's conjecture, he had to pay more than twice the effort to barely keep up with her rhythm.

I have to say that there is also a gap between genius and genius.

"You should learn from Hadido, and hard work is the only way to success, but there is no need to let the troubles of study and work affect your life." Lu Zhou said with a relaxed tone. "My advice is that you can try to find a hobby, or find a girlfriend or something."

Qin Yue, who is driving, coughed: "Professor, I already have a girlfriend."

Lu Zhou squatted and looked at him unbelievably: "...has already? When?"

Qin Yue said with a smile: "Well, in the country, the junior began talking."

Lu Zhou: "..."

......

Before returning home, Lu Zhou intends to go to the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies.

The car was parked under the building of the Institute of Advanced Studies. Qin Yue returned the key to Lu Zhou, and then hurriedly went upstairs.

Lu Zhou looked at his back with a puzzled look. He didn't understand why he didn't wait for him to go up together, but he still didn't say anything, and went upstairs.

Standing at the door of the office, looking at the closed door, Lu Zhou’s expression was a bit confused.

Just as he pushed the door open, a slamming sound of paper cannons rang, and the flying ribbons fluttered.

Five people standing in the office, sing.

"Welcome back! Professor."

Soon, Lu Zhou was on the sight of Hardy, and immediately guessed who was this idea.

Hiding the paper cannon in his hand behind him, Vera whispered blushingly: "This is Hardy's idea, I tried to persuade him."

Hardy not only did not feel any embarrassed, but was complacent: "I originally prepared champagne, but I heard that I can't drink alcohol here, so I had to drink it myself."

"I am very grateful for your creativity," and while tearing off the ribbon hanging on his ear, Lu Zhou said mercilessly, "In addition, trouble you to clean it here."

Although I was very touched by my students' love for themselves, it made me feel very troublesome.

"Hey, my professor, shouldn't these jobs be handed over to new people?" Hardy complained to Lu Zhou with a grudge, but still consciously headed for the broom.

A young man with freckles on his face and a look that is not tall or short, some embarrassed to say: "Or, I will help you."

"Don't worry about him, this person is very energetic and needs to find something meaningful to vent." Then, Lu Zhou went to the desk and turned over the documents piled on the table for a long time, trying to find those interview resumes. However, it was not found.

Reluctantly gave up the documents to complete the table, Lu Zhou turned around and watched the two newcomers in the office clear their throats and open their mouths.

"You... let me introduce myself first."

This time, he has two more master students in his lab.

One of them is from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the other is from Yanda.

The graduate student in the field of number theory only intends to recruit three. The two newspapers report his direction of functional analysis. Compared with the pure field of number theory, the research in this direction is slightly different from theoretical physics and applied mathematics.

Although Lu Zhou would like to pull a mother's school, no one in the hospital this year passed the assessment of the Princeton interviewer.

I have to admit that in domestic universities, mathematics is still respected by Yan Da and Aurora. Even if Jin Da’s court is a enchanting one, there is still a long way to go before he wants to really rise.

The freckled face boy immediately said, "My name is Jericho."

Another boy who looked more serious nodded and said: "Wei Wen."

Staring at the Wei Wen for a while, Lu Zhou suddenly asked: "Have we seen it?"
