Jinling maglev station.
A pretty girl rushed over from the station exit and rushed into Lu Zhou’s arms.
“I missed you to death!”
When Lu Zhou slled the perfu in her hair, a reassuring feeling rushed into his heart. He obviously had a lot to say, but he didn’t know where to begin.
“ too.”
The couple hugged tightly for nearly a minute.
Lu Zhou was about to put Chen Yushan down and reach out to take the suitcase behind her. However, a small hand suddenly pulled his sleeve gently.
Right after, a heart-grabbing voice gently blew into his ear.
“... Can we hug for a little longer?”
Lu Zhou didn’t say anything. Instead, he hugged her tighter.
Chen Yushan felt the warmth around her, imrsed in the joy of reunion. She couldn’t help but feel a little warm. She cleared her throat and asked in a playful tone, “What does it feel like to have a clingy girlfriend?”
“Oh...”
That’s a hard question to answer.
But generally, it feels great.
“You have three seconds to answer!”
Chen Yushan saw Lu Zhou thinking seriously. She suddenly beca a little concerned.
She realized that this question might be difficult for him to answer, so she quickly said quietly, “... Don’t think about it so seriously. I just want... to hear your thoughts.”
Lu Zhou shook his head.
“Three seconds is not enough.”
If he wanted to describe all of his feelings, he would at least need three minutes.
However, it seed like she had misunderstood his words.
Chen Yushan blushed. She buried her head on Lu Zhou’s shoulder. She lightly punched him on the chest with her small fist.
“Stupid... What are you thinking?”
Gosh, darn it...
He never knew how to talk to girls before.
Why is he so good at it now...
Lu Zhou: “...?”
He looked at his sweet and shy-faced girlfriend with a question mark in his head.
However, just as Lu Zhou was about to ask what was going on, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
After picking up the phone, Lu Zhou put the phone next to his ear.
After listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, a look of realization appeared on his face. After saying “OK”, he hung up the phone.
“Who was that?”
Chen Yushan, whose head was still buried in Lu Zhou’s shoulder, turned her eyes toward Lu Zhou’s head and glanced at the phone secretly.
Lu Zhou put the phone back into his pocket and said casually, “The Institute for Advanced Study.”
“Is it an ergency?”
“Not really.”
Chen Yushan got out of Lu Zhou’s arms and spoke with a worried look.
“Go ahead then, I’ll take a taxi back.”
“No way.” Lu Zhou shook his head. He looked at his girlfriend and said solemnly, “No matter how important it is, I have to send you ho first. Co on, give the suitcase.”
Lu Zhou took the suitcase from Chen Yushan’s hand. He put it in the trunk of the car, then grabbed her hand and got into the car together.
...
The Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.
In the materials science laboratory, a group of people gathered around a chemical vapor deposition device. They were staring at a sticky black substance.
Professor Wang Qingping, the leader of the project team, couldn’t help anymore. He began to curse.
“This f*cking thing... What the hell is going on? How co... it’s stuck together?”
About a week ago, Lu Zhou suddenly ca to the Institute of Computational Materials, grabbed a list of people, and set up a project team called “High Strength Graphene Fiber”, and included himself in the team.
This incident spread afterward, and it caused quite a lot of discussion at the Institute for Advanced Study
After all, Academician Lu hadn’t done any major research in the field of materials science for years. Now a project team was suddenly established, which he was directly responsible for. This was quite a rare sight.
Not long after the project team was established, Lu Zhou quickly completed the design of the mathematical model using computational materials science. He handed over the mathematical model to the project team led by Professor Wang Qingping and asked him to design an experintal process based on this model.
When Professor Wang Qingping first received this mathematical model, he was still full of ambition. He was ready to fight side by side with Academician Lu!
However, right after the project had just begun, they already encountered a big problem.
“I don’t know either.” The researcher in charge of this experint almost began crying. He said with a frustrated expression, “I-I obviously designed the experint based on the calculation results provided by Academician Lu.”
“How is this possible!” Wang Qingping reprimanded the researcher, “There must be sothing wrong, try again!”
“B-but we have done it three tis already...” The researcher whispered, “It’s the sa result.”
“Then redesign the experintal process! Do it three more tis!”
Qian Zhongming, who was standing next to them, couldn’t stand listening anymore. He coughed and spoke.
“I already called Academician Lu. He said he would co over here to take a look.”
“Academician Lu is coming over?”
After hearing Professor Qian Zhongming’s words, Wang Qingping looked a little nervous.
After all, his project team was in charge of the experint.
If it turned out that there was a problem on his side, wouldn’t it be embarrassing in front of Academician Lu?
“Academician Lu doesn’t need to co... What if, we try sothing else? If it doesn’t work, then we can ask Academician Lu,” Wang Qingping said as he signaled at several researchers next to him.
Although they were not in agreent, they had to listen to their boss; they all nodded reluctantly.
Qian Zhongming easily saw through Professor Wang Qingping’s plan.
He had worked with Lu Zhou at the Institute of Computational Materials for many years. Even working all the way up to the position of deputy director. Even though he was nowhere near Lu Zhou’s academic ability, he was still much smarter than before.
“Don’t worry, even if sothing goes wrong, Academician Lu won’t bla you.” Qian Zhongming said, “Scientific research itself is trial and error. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Just find where the problem is.”
Professor Wang Qingping smiled but thought differently in his heart.
Easy for you to say.
You’re Academician Lu’s best friend, of course you’ll be fine.
However, the researchers standing behind him were relieved to hear Deputy Director Qian’s words.
Their job made countless colleagues jealous of them. However, only they knew the difficulties that they encountered. In a sacred academic place that all scholars wanted to be at, as the lowest-level scientific researchers in the scientific research chain, they faced a considerable amount of pressure.
While Professor Wang Qingping was worrying about what to do, the footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer.
The door opened, and a figure familiar to everyone walked in from the outside.
Lu Zhou didn’t look around. He walked straight to the side of the chemical vapor deposition device, glanced at the mysterious black substance in the beaker, then asked Qian Zhongming.
“Gloves?”
Qian Zhongming nodded and handed out the plastic gloves.
“Here.”
Without saying much, Lu Zhou put on the anti-corrosion plastic gloves. He poked the black substance with a glass rod, then gently touched the surface using the rod.
Lu Zhou frowned, he put the rod and gloves aside.
“It’s a bit soft...”
Qian Zhongming nodded and spoke.
“I think so too.”
Lu Zhou roughly understood the situation. He looked at Professor Wang Qingping, who was nearby, and asked, “Can you tell what happened?”
Professor Wang Qingping had an awkward look on his face. Just as he was thinking about what to say, the researcher standing next to him spoke first.
“We did it according to the calculation model you provided, but...”
Lu Zhou: “But the results were not ideal?”
The researcher pretended not to see Professor Wang Qingping looking at him and nodded seriously.
“That is correct.”
“I understand now.” Lu Zhou nodded, looked at him, and asked, “What’s your na?”
“Sun Yueda!”
“You did the experint?”
He knew that he was probably toast, so he might as well tell the truth. The researcher nad Sun Yueda nodded and spoke.
“Yes, I also designed the experintal process!”
Lu Zhou looked at the young researcher. He nodded and spoke with a look of approval in his eyes.
“Not bad, it takes skill to achieve this level.”
Sun Yueda and several other researchers standing beside him, as well as Professor Wang Qingping, were all stunned.
Did he...
Just complint Sun Yueda?
“Is the mathematical model still here?”
“Yes...”
“Then let see it.” Lu Zhou nodded while looking at Sun Yueda. He said, “And show the experintal process you designed.
“I’ll tell you where the problem is.”
