Chapter 488 Come or Not?

On New Year's Eve, Lu Zhou leaned on the sofa in the living room, and according to the list in the address book, sent New Year's blessings to everyone he knew.

Those who are more familiar with each other make a phone call, and those who are not so familiar send a text message. No matter whether there are people watching or not, some human relations are still indispensable, and this is not a particularly troublesome thing.

At this time, Xiaotong's voice came from the side.

"Brother, will you call senior sister?"

While pressing the dial button, Lu Zhou replied casually: "...I'll forget it, I don't bother to change the name, why are you also calling me senior."

"She and I are both from the business school. It seems that there is nothing wrong with me calling her senior?" Xiaotong, who was lying on the sofa like a salted fish, tilted her head and looked at Lu Zhou with a strange face. Did you graduate from a math school?"

emmm...

That being said, there seems to be nothing wrong with it?

Lu Zhou: "..."

Seeing that Lu Zhou was silent, Xiaotong sat up from the sofa with a pillow in his arms, with an expression of listening to a story.

"Brother, speaking of which, how did you meet?"

Lu Zhou sighed: "It's not as complicated as you imagined, it's just an ordinary foresight in the library, and then ordinary friends."

Hugging the pillow, Xiaotong was puzzled and said: "Ordinary? But I feel that you seem to hit it off? Besides, my sister has big breasts. Even a girl like me finds it very attractive when I see it."

Lu Zhou: "..."

Just chat well, why did the topic go to the chest?

And what does that have to do with boobs?

Seeing that Lu Zhou didn't speak, Xiao Tong suddenly showed an exaggerated dazed expression on his face. Then he covered his mouth and gave his brother a narrow look, "Eh? Could it be that you like small ones?"

Lu Zhou: "Get lost!"

After sending out a text message, Lu Zhou was about to start editing the next one, but at this moment, he happened to see that name in the communication list.

After hesitating for a while, he finally made a call.

It always feels too perfunctory to use text messages to cope.

The phone rang once, and was quickly connected.

Before Lu Zhou could react, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Student~ I'm so happy! You actually called me."

Lu Zhou coughed lightly and said, "There's no need to be so exaggerated, I'm just here to pay New Year's greetings... Well, Happy New Year!"

A happy smile appeared on Chen Yushan's face: "Happy New Year! I'm about to call you too."

In the distance, her father's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Shanshan, whose phone is it?"

"Lu Zhou's!"

There was an "oh" sound from a distance, and Chen Baohua didn't speak any more.

Hearing Uncle Chen's voice, Lu Zhou asked, "Is Uncle Chen still in good health?"

Chen Yushan said happily: "He is in good health. By the way, I heard from Meng Qi that you have returned to Jinling? Are you going to work here in the future?"

Lu Zhou: "Well, I plan to go back here this year. I may go back to Princeton in a while, but I will finish the unfinished work, and then the focus of my work will basically be on Jinling. Speaking of it , you are about to graduate too."

Chen Yushan said with a smile: "Well, the graduation thesis has been handed in, and I will be completely liberated after a while."

Hearing the phrase liberated, Lu Zhou couldn't help smiling, and was sincerely happy for her.

I heard that her tutor is not a very easy person to get along with, and she can graduate smoothly, which is considered to be out of the sea of ​​suffering.

"What are your plans after graduation? Do you want to continue your PhD?"

"Don't study, don't study, if you study again, you will become a female doctor," Chen Yushan, who was holding the phone, joked, "What's more, in our major, resumes are more important than academic qualifications. I plan to find an internship in a company after graduation, and work for two years first."

Lu Zhou: "Have you decided where to practice?"

Chen Yushan sighed: "Not yet, but I have received offers from several companies, but I haven't decided where to go yet."

Speaking of this, Lu Zhou suddenly felt a slight movement in his heart.

"Are you interested in patent management companies?"

"Patent management company? I seem to have done this kind of case, are you interested... It's okay. What's the matter, junior? Do you have any good places to recommend to me?"

"I actually started a patent management company, if you don't mind, would you like to work for me?"

"Sure, junior, we've already started a company." Chen Yushan's expression was a little surprised, but it was just a surprise, and she continued in a joking tone, "Can you tell me the name of the company? I'll go and investigate first."

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Go and check, the name is Xingkong Technology, registered in the Cayman Islands."

Hearing this name, Chen Yushan was stunned.

What surprised her was not that the company was registered in the Cayman Islands.

but...

"You opened Xingkong Technology?!"

Lu Zhou froze for a moment, then hesitated, "...Is there any question?"

If he remembers correctly, his Xingkong Technology should not be a very famous company.

After all, there is no need for such a company specializing in intellectual property management to make a big publicity, and ordinary people will not bother to know who's research results are contained in the lithium batteries in their mobile phones or electric vehicles.

However, for Chen Yushan, this name really impressed her very much.

It was an unforgettable night.

No, to be precise, not just one, but countless.

In order to complete the company's organizational structure planning plan and personnel training plan within the specified time, driven by her mentor as free labor, she stayed up late for half a month without knowing how many livers exploded before completing the last part. work……

Purely a knee-jerk reaction, she couldn't help clenching her teeth upon hearing the name.

Seeing that Chen Yushan didn't speak for a long time, Lu Zhou thought she didn't like his small company, so he hesitated and asked.

"Come or not?"

If you don't come, forget it, anyway, the business of his small company is not very busy.

Chen Yushan said without hesitation, "Come on!"

...

The first day of the new year is the time to visit relatives.

However, the Lu family has no relatives in Jinling, not even distant relatives, so this year has been relatively quiet.

In addition to domestic friends, Lu Zhou also received many New Year greetings from international friends.

Among them were Professor Fefferman, his mentor Deligne, and several of his students.

Apart from Vera's New Year's card, the most ingenious New Year's greeting is probably the mail from Pablo Jarillo-Herrero's laboratory at MIT.

At the end of the words "Happy New Year", Professor Herrero used a few paragraphs to describe an interesting problem he encountered in his research.

Lu Zhou even suspected that the latter part was his real intention in writing the letter to himself.

[…… When we were studying the bandgap width of the superlattice near a specific angle of the SG-1 material, we found a very interesting thing. The existing BCS theory does not seem to be applicable to carbon-based superconducting materials. 】

[I try to explain this physical phenomenon by solving the many-body electric phonon wave function, but when I solve this function, the trouble I encounter is beyond my ability. 】

[But I can say with certainty that if we can solve this problem, it will help us reveal the physical mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity. 】

[I have attached the relevant experimental data in the limited appendix. I may temporarily put this subject on hold, but it may arouse your interest. 】

When Lu Zhou read this email, his eyebrows were slightly raised, but his face showed a look of interest.

More than 30 years have passed since the discovery of high-temperature superconductors in 1986. Despite the great efforts of many outstanding theoretical physicists around the world, the physical mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity has not yet been resolved.

The reason is often attributed to the difficulty of solving the many-body wave function in the strong correlation model, so there is no way to solve this problem.

This is a very interesting phenomenon. It seems that whether it is physics or chemistry, the problems faced by most theories in the "deep water area" are related to calculation.

Tapping his index finger next to the keyboard, Lu Zhou thought for a moment before replying to an email.

[I will seriously consider your proposal. 】
