Chapter 503: Faculty Sports Meeting

Contrary to expectations, Zhou Chengfu waited quietly for a week, but Zhou Chengfu did not hear any movement from the STAR project.

Neither heard of the new experimental arrangement, nor saw Lu Zhou respond to his scientific review articles in public.

just like……

It's like ignoring him completely.

Zhou Chengfu was very unhappy in his heart because of the feeling of punching the empty space.

Originally, according to his idea, after reading this article, even if Lu Zhou did not retort in the article, he would immediately start the next controlled nuclear fusion experiment to prove himself.

No matter which one Lu Zhou chooses, it is more beneficial for him.

He won't lose the former, and he can at least find out the details of the STAR device in the latter.

After all, he doesn't know what the current situation of the STAR device is, whether it "only runs for 1 second" or "only runs for 1 second", he doesn't know.

Even if he judged that the situation of the WEGA device was not optimistic, it was only his guess based on the attitude of the Germans agreeing to the offer of 500 million euros. He didn't dare to say too much about many things that might be slapped in the face, at least he had to be more cautious in his wording.

"Tell me, why hasn't this kid moved at all?" Sitting in the office, Zhou Chengfu flipped through the latest issue of "Nuclear Industry News" and said as if talking to himself.

Jia Liangcai also felt puzzled, logically speaking, that guy should have no reason to endure it.

Rolling his eyes, he thought about it and said.

"Could it be...they really bought a piece of trash?"

Zhou Chengfu pondered for a while, and then said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. After all, the WEGA device has been shut down since 2013. During the nearly six years, any accidents are possible."

After the launch of the Helix 7-X project, WEGA seemed to be forgotten and faded out of the field of vision of the industry. Except for the name of WEGA that can be seen from the entries in the device list, the news about it is almost blank.

After all, controllable nuclear fusion itself is not a popular direction. The key research basically revolves around the few fusion devices in operation. No one will stare at a device that cannot produce any research results.

And if the paper is not published, it is impossible for anyone to know what is going on with this device.

Zhou Chengfu suspected from the very beginning that the equipment was defective when it was shipped back, otherwise it would be unreasonable for the Germans to readily agree to sell WEGA to Lu Zhou.

After all, the price of 500 million euros is a bit cheap to be honest from the perspective of an industry insider...

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Chengfu spoke.

"Let's observe for a few more days."

In any case, wait until the end of the month to see.

It would be interesting if he really spent 4 billion RMB to buy a scrap metal back...

...

Just when Zhou Chengfu was thinking about how many cards he could play, Jinling, thousands of kilometers away, was under a clear sky.

On this sunny day, the Faculty Sports Meeting jointly organized by Jinling University and Jinling Institute for Advanced Study finally met with all the faculty and staff.

In addition to the traditional track and field events such as running, hurdles, high jump, long jump, and relay running, there are also ball games such as table tennis, football, and basketball, which are widely popular, as well as some table tennis specially set up to cultivate the spirit of teamwork. Ball relay, two-person three-legged and other interesting projects.

At the opening ceremony, the contestants raised the national flag, marched in square formation with the college as the unit, and shouted the slogan of oath of sportsmanship. Then, under the opening speech announced by the principal, the sports event officially kicked off. up the curtain.

"Old Tang, can you do it?"

Standing on the 100-meter starting line and warming up, Professor Lu Fangping, who has gained weight over the years, looked at Professor Tang Zhiwei on the track next to him, and said in a teasing tone.

Hearing the ridicule from his old friend, Old Tang laughed out loud, and said indifferently, "I won't bother you if I can do it or not, but you should be careful, don't lose your waist."

Lao Lu: "I'm not talking about you. Your posture is wrong. You don't even warm up when you run?"

Old Tang: "Just take these two steps to warm up your body."

Old Lu: "Oh, I fell, don't blame me for not reminding you."

At this time, the referee standing next to the runway raised his starting gun, and the two of them stopped bickering and focused on the runway ahead, intending to see the real chapter with their hands.

"Everyone take your place—"

"preparation--"

"run!"

There was a bang, and several professors rushed out like rabbits.

However, within two seconds, a joke broke out.

First, Old Tang flew his shoes and landed five or six meters away. Lao Lu, who was following behind, saw Lao Tang throwing his shoes flying, almost didn't laugh out loud, and staggered to the ground.

Obviously, professionalism or non-professionalism cannot be seen from standard posture.

Fortunately, the runway is made of soft plastic, and the fall hurts but does not hurt, and the beer belly acts as a buffer to some extent. With the encouragement from both sides of the runway, Professor Lu still got up grinning.

The teachers and students standing on both sides of the track shouted for cheer, but no matter how hard they cheered, they fell during the sprint, and there was no doubt that they would be at the bottom.

However, in the spirit of persevering to the end, the two old professors still limped and chased each other, and ran the rest of the distance, winning the applause of the onlookers and professors.

In the gymnasium on the other side, two groups of people on the basketball court are fighting fiercely, and you come and go to exchange offense and defense.

The ongoing competition is a duel between Jinling Institute for Advanced Study and Jindahua Institute.

Compared with the track and field events outside, ball games are obviously more enjoyable to watch.

It can be clearly seen that the audience around the basketball court is much more than the audience on the stadium.

Of course, it may also be because of Lu Zhou's presence on the field.

I don’t know which professor made a slip of the tongue in the class, and finally made the students of the entire School of Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics know about it. Lu Shen, who has won the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize, also participated in this event. At the sports meeting, the crowd of onlookers increased by an order of magnitude.

However, Lu Zhou did not pay attention to the crowd, but focused on the game on the court.

For the past six months, he has been busy with his research, and he hasn't exercised so happily for a while.

As for scoring a few goals...

Minutiae like this don't matter at all.

Playing basketball, of course, is fun.

Anyway, everyone is pecking at each other.

What's more, he knew in his heart that the reason why so many people watched him play basketball and cheered on the sidelines of the basketball court was definitely not because of how awesome and elegant his skills were.

As for the reason?

Do I need to ask this?

Don't even think about it, it's naturally because of his handsomeness...

Standing on the edge of the basketball court, several undergraduates from the chemical engineering college were bragging wildly while watching the game.

"Our new lecturer who teaches computing materials, whenever he talks about the theoretical model of the electrochemical interface structure, the PPT must post a photo of him and the Nobel Prize winner. The key is that he is still in the background wall, only missing half of it. A face, I suspect that half of the face was put on by P."

"What's this? The one who led us to experiment must ridicule us a group of rookies in every class, and then brag about how high Lu Shen's understanding was back then, and how awesome he was when he was helping him in the laboratory."

"That Professor Li?"

"if not?"

"He mainly wants to show off that the Nobel Prize winner has beaten himself."

"Hey, is it interesting? These professors are playing tricks on us undergraduates all day long."

At this moment, a discordant voice came from behind everyone.

"Hehe, what are you talking about?"

Several students looked back and saw Li Rongen was looking at them with his hands behind his back and smiling.

Seeing that face, everyone turned around and dispersed as if they had seen a ghost.
