Chapter 332 Assistant and Bodyguard? (3/3)

Chapter 332 Assistant and Bodyguard? (33)

The laboratory was dug out. Although Sarot was furious, it was just a small episode for Lu Zhou.

After appeasing Professor Sarot's emotions, he returned to the organic seminar and continued to focus on his own affairs.

In fact, if Professor Stanley really researched this technology according to the molecular model, Lu Zhou might have to give him a little red flower to thank him for completing the system task for him.

After all, the system task does not stipulate patent rights. If the technology is only developed according to the task requirements, it should be the same who develops it.

Paying out of your own pocket, contributing money and efforts, and helping others to upgrade tasks, what kind of internationalist spirit is this?

Lu Zhou didn't know.

He only hoped that good people will be rewarded.

In addition, I hope Professor Stanley will not take the answers of the "final exam paper" and self-righteously copy them on the "mid-term exam" paper...

About half a week later, the organic seminar finally came to an end.

Lu Zhou, who settled the matter, did not change the original itinerary plan, and returned to the east coast by plane.

When he arrived in Philadelphia, Lu Zhou went to the office of the North American branch of Xingkong Technology and met his manager, White Sheridan.

Putting a copy of the relevant contract in White's hands, Lu Zhou simply told him to hire the most professional team of lawyers and prepare for a protracted battle regarding the lawsuit.

If there is no accident, Mobil Chemical will definitely intervene, and will definitely adopt delaying tactics, and he has been wasting like this.

But Lu Zhou didn't care.

He can still afford the legal fees and legal fees...

...

After the awarding of the Adams Prize in Chemistry, Lu Zhou refocused his energy on research.

Sarot's laboratory continues to overcome the technical difficulties of caged molecules, and is advancing on this road with difficulty.

Jinling Institute of Computational Materials continues to study the method of stably preparing HCS-1 materials, and at the same time improves HCS-1 materials until it can meet the requirements of the industry.

As for Lu Zhou, with the aid of experiments, he improved the mathematical model of the cathode material of lithium-sulfur batteries and the theory of computational materials science.

All work is proceeding step by step.

The day before the end of the spring break, Connie returned to the Frick Laboratory in Princeton after returning from the holiday, and started the next experiment with Lu Zhou.

Putting on an anti-static white coat and preparing for the upcoming experiment, Connie suddenly remembered something and said.

"Professor Chiric says I'll be graduating soon."

After hearing the news, Lu Zhou, who was checking the experimental equipment, gently raised the test tube in his hand and made a toast.

"congratulations."

Of course, this is just a formal toast.

The liquid contained in the test tube was an organic electrolyte solution, so it was impossible for him to drink it.

"Thank you for your thesis," Connie said sincerely while looking at Lu Zhou, "Thanks to your help, I was able to graduate smoothly."

"You're welcome," Lu Zhou smiled, "This is the honor you deserve."

In the paper on the HCS-1 material published in "Science", the corresponding author and the first author are naturally Lu Zhou, who is the boss.

As for the second work, the third work, the fourth work and the fifth work, they will be ranked down according to their contributions. Not only Sarot and several main researchers in the institute have a share, but Connie, who is Lu Zhou's assistant, naturally also has a share.

With the weight of two "Science" articles, plus Connie's previous accumulation, he will be able to successfully obtain his doctorate by the middle of this year at the latest.

Lu Zhou asked casually, "About the future, do you have any plans?"

"Originally, I planned to go to MIT to do postdoctoral research for two years after graduating from my Ph. D., and then consider turning into a full-time researcher." Looking at Lu Zhou, Connie shrugged and continued, "But now, I suddenly feel that staying in Princeton is also a good idea. good."

Lu Zhou glanced at him unexpectedly, and reminded: "Have you considered it? MIT is a paradise for engineering majors, and you may have a better development there."

Princeton University is biased towards theory, and the status of chemistry majors here is at most in the middle of the "discipline contempt chain".

A Ph.D. working on nanomaterials, doing a postdoc here is definitely not as helpful as doing a postdoc at MIT.

Connie nodded seriously, and said sincerely, "I've already thought about it. Compared with where to do the experiment, who you do the experiment with is more important."

Lu Zhou smiled slightly and said, "I'm glad you think so. If you don't mind, you are welcome to join my research team!"

Connie's face was full of joy, without even asking about the treatment and salary, he couldn't wait to say: "Of course I don't mind, it's better to say, thank you so much!"

Postdoctorate is not a degree, but refers to some scholars who have recently obtained a Ph.D., and before they become formal full-time researchers, they receive subsidies provided by relevant departments and conduct special research in postdoctoral mobile stations and scientific research workstations.

Generally speaking, postdoctoral fellows also have supervisors.

However, this supervisor is different from ordinary doctoral supervisors. The latter is a master-student relationship, while the former is a cooperative relationship, so it is also called a cooperative supervisor.

Especially in foreign countries, except for postdoctoral fellows funded by Humboldt, Marie Curie, JSPS, Newton and other funds, the relationship between co-mentors and postdoctoral fellows can be simply compared to an employment relationship.

As far as professional knowledge is concerned, Connie's level is quite excellent, and the most important thing is to use it smoothly.

Although this guy looks a bit bulky and doesn't have a good image with researchers, but Lu Zhou doesn't particularly care about these details. For his assistant, his only requirement is that as long as he can help himself with work, that's enough.

And considering this guy's physique, maybe he can also work part-time as a bodyguard...

After all, a meeting like MRS is not a peaceful place.

After finishing the experiment, he handed over the arrangement of the instruments to Connie, and Lu Zhou registered the data on the computer.

At this moment, Xiao Ai's pop-up window suddenly appeared in the lower right corner of the computer.

【Owner! There is a video call~∠("∠)＿】

Lu Zhou glanced at the content of the pop-up window, and casually replied: "I see, open it for me."

【receive! ()】

Lu Zhou: "..."

After more than a year of self-upgrading, Xiao Ai can now accurately recognize his voice through the built-in microphone on the notebook, and even judge whether his mood is stable from the voice.

This is undoubtedly a great improvement for the one that used to hoard emoji packs like a hamster.

However, Lu Zhou always feels that this guy's skill points seem to be all in the direction of letting himself go...

Soon the video call was connected. Lu Zhou looked at Yang Xu on the screen and asked.

"What's up?"

"Of course it's a good thing!" Yang Xu had a happy smile on his face, and his tone was full of excitement, "The idea of ​​synthesizing HCS-1 material using glucose as a precursor is feasible! Our experiment Initial success has been achieved!"

Hearing this news, a smile appeared on Lu Zhou's face.

The stable synthesis of HCS-1 materials is the first step towards HCS-2 materials. Only by solving this problem can more HCS-1 samples be obtained. At the same time, analyzing the reason why it can inhibit the diffusion of polysulfide compounds from the synthesis mechanism is also one of the important ways to collect experimental data.

Based on these data, Lu Zhou can further improve his theory.

"This is indeed good news, remember to send the experimental data to my mailbox."

Yang Xu smiled and nodded: "Of course, I have asked Qian Zhongming to do it, and you will be able to see the relevant experiment report soon!"

The purpose of making this call was mainly to report this matter to Lu Zhou.

However, when he was about to hang up the phone, Yang Xu suddenly remembered another thing that happened recently, so he spoke.

"By the way, there is one more thing."

Lu Zhou: "Say it directly."

After hesitating for a while, Yang Xu spoke.

"It's like this, a researcher who jumped to our place recently..."

Lu Zhou froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Do you still need to report this kind of trivial matter to me? In terms of professional level, you can check it yourself."

Yang Xu's expression was a little helpless.

"The problem is not in professional ability. I have inspected his professional ability, and it can be said that it is quite good, even much better than ordinary masters or even doctors. He has rich experience in writing papers and opening reports especially. "

Lu Zhou's expression was a bit strange: "The salary he wants is too high?"

"That's not true," Yang Xu coughed dryly, "It's just that his identity is a bit special..."
