Just as Exxon Mobil celebrated the "victory", just in the Hilton Hotel not far away, a celebration feast was also going on.

In order to celebrate Anton's great victory in the field of computational chemistry, in order to celebrate the theoretical model of the electrochemical interface structure, David self-sufficiently rented a luxurious ballroom at the Hilton Hotel to host the party.

I spent a month in the busy hours, working overtime every day and going to the middle of the night, everyone is like a tight string.

For people in this country, parties are the best way to relax.

What surprised Lu Zhou was that these phd, who usually dress up without trimming, took off the white coat and the plaid shirt and replaced it with the most expensive tuxedo in the closet, and there was still a different image from the stereotype of “Technology Man”. the other side.

However, what surprised him the most was the ladies who attended the banquet.

Is the female researcher at the d.e.shaw Institute too much?

He has been a visiting scholar at Columbia University for more than a month. During this period, he will go to the institute every day, but the female faces he has seen can be counted with one hand.

Especially those young and beautiful faces, how to look at it is not consistent with the image of the female doctor...

The time of the banquet has not arrived yet, but the guests have already arrived early.

Standing in front of the dance floor of the ballroom, wearing a formal dress, David poured a glass of champagne into his cup, then smiled and lifted it up.

"In this moment worth celebrating, let us toast to victory, toast to our anton, to cheer for our professor Lu!"

The three dry toasts were loud and loud, and immediately pushed the atmosphere of the banquet to the peak.

Under the influence of the atmosphere, the guests who attended the banquet also laughed and raised the glasses in their hands.

"Cheers!"

The sounds of the intertwined sounds were all over, and the spilled champagne and foam fluttered in the air.

In a laughter, the banquet opened.

The waiters in uniforms walked into the banquet hall with their plates and pushes the dining car. The food stacked on the long tables on both sides of the dance floor gradually enriched.

Immediately after the melodious saxophone sounds, under the guidance of music, young men and women have stepped into the dance floor.

Before eating, most people are more willing to dance with the favorite object first, and then plan the next part of the arrangement...

However, Lu Zhou is obviously a minority.

Compared to dancing, the food in the banquet is more interesting to him.

Especially after a month of bacon sandwiches, those brightly colored salads, garnished with creamy cakes, roasted crispy turkeys, and foie gras with liqueurs... Which one, in the eyes of Lu Zhou, is a special appetite.

Just as he added food to his plate, David, the host of the banquet, came over to him with champagne.

“How do you feel?” Lifting the champagne and the boat hit a cup, David said with a smile. “At least half of this party is for you.”

Lu Zhou also smiled and replied casually: "The style of New York is very good."

"Compared with Princeton?"

"Princeton's party is usually barbecued on the lawn. It is another kind of enjoyment for me," paused for a moment. Lu Zhou continued with a relaxed tone. "Speak up, I have not noticed before, your research." There are so many female doctors in the office."

"Of course not just my researcher, but the girls from Columbia University's Manhattan Sisters," looked at Lu Zhou. David said in a joking tone. "You know, 90% of my research institutes are science and engineering. Men, for a long time, are prone to problems. Providing them with a social place to relax, is also one of the responsibilities of being a 'boss'."

“Society association?” Lu Zhou tried to understand in his own way.

David smiled and said: "Haha, let's be."

In American campuses, clubs, fraternities, or sororities are a common phenomenon, with more than half of the students participating, and their nature is similar to that of domestic universities.

Some of them have sports clubs in the form of extracurricular activities such as basketball, football, and dance. There is no special purpose for them. It is just a social club that provides young people with a circle that allows them to integrate into them.

However, no matter what type of club, there is a core commonality.

That is the party that can't be finished.

In a sense, the Ivy Club (diet club) that Lu Zhou once participated in is also an elite club. However, he usually regards it as a canteen for eating, and rarely participates in the collective activities of the club.

As for how David’s research institute is related to the Manhattan Sisters?

Sometimes you don't need any special connections.

This is the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan. Although there are quite a few people who can stay here, there are very few clubs where parties can be held here.

Even if the deshaw institute is replaced by a little-known rugby club in Columbia, a "research worthy of research" will be replaced by "school-level league New York runner-up". As long as the party is here, there will be a big Put a young and beautiful girl in a dress and appear here.

Anyway, whether it is "jacs" or "rugby", it is another world thing for them. They enjoy the banquet and the fun of showing photos on Facebook.

"Speaking of you, you are still single, although it doesn't matter if you are not single," shaking the glass in his hand, David joked. "You don't have to be reserved here. If you look at someone, you can boldly invite her to jump." dance."

Lu Zhou reluctantly said: "I am sorry that I will not dance."

"It doesn't matter, even if you jump badly, I believe there are a lot of people who can bear it," smirked and Lu Zhou hit a cup, and David frowned. "And I bet, as long as you have this idea, you should There are many girls who are willing to teach you by hand."

Is this praising me handsome?

Lu Zhou smiled a little.

This is a lot embarrassing.

Although he thinks so.

Didn't notice what Lu Zhou was thinking, David opened a new champagne and refilled his glass. "How do you plan for the next step? If you are a professor at Columbia University, I can do it for you. Convince the principal to open an additional computing material department at Columbia University."

Looking at the lights of Manhattan on the island, Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head: "Columbia is a beautiful place, Manhattan Island is also. But by comparison, I think Princeton is more suitable for me."

"Yes? Well, the individual has a personal choice." David sighed, but did not persuade more.

Pour all the remaining wine in the bottle into the cup of Lu Zhou. He continued, "If you have time, remember to come here often."

"No problem, it is very close anyway," suddenly thought of one thing, Lu Zhou continued to say, "Yes, before returning to Princeton, there is something, I have to ask you."

David: "What?"

"The theoretical building of the electrochemical interface structure has been completed, but the young theory is always ignored. In order to enhance its credibility, I intend to use our theoretical tools to try to solve some more specific problems. I need the power of anton," paused, and Lu Zhou continued. "I won't borrow too long. It will be fine before I return to Princeton."

His visit to Columbia University lasted until June, which means that there will be a month.

However, this experiment does not take a month or so. If the situation is optimistic, it may be enough for half a month.

In addition, compared with the previous topic, the subject he is about to carry out is also a theoretical field research, but will play a guiding role in the experiment of Jinling Institute of Computational Materials.

Therefore, regardless of whether David cares, he will insist on paying rental equipment and hires.

David was interested in asking: "What is the more specific question?"

Lu Zhou mysterious smile.

“Molecular dynamics simulation of the interface between carbon-sulfur composites and organic electrolytic solutions!”
