Chapter 573: Scientists Have Nationalities

If there is any difference between this year's New Year's Eve and previous years, it is probably that there are more dumplings that can't be eaten, and there are fewer relatives who visit the house.

However, although the excitement of previous years was gone, Lu Zhou didn't feel so lonely.

Except for grandparents and grandparents who have passed away, Lu Zhou is not that close to other relatives. It probably just belongs to the kind of family that doesn’t feel strange when sitting together to drink and eat during festivals. To what extent.

We all have our own affairs to be busy with, and there are not many intersections at ordinary times.

To say that the only thing Lu Zhou helped them was probably helping his cousin who had hardly met a few times and was a sophomore in Zhendan to change his major.

Although he has never been to Aurora University, but because he occasionally serves as a reviewer for several well-known journals such as "Annual of Mathematics" and "Needs of Mathematics", he and several professors from the Department of Mathematics of Aurora have had a good relationship. Academic exchanges, and just kept their contact information.

For him, things like helping someone change their major are just a matter of saying hello, not even a small effort.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Zhou received many congratulatory cards in his mailbox.

Some from Princeton, some from Columbia University, mainly his friends in academia.

I have to say that sometimes the relationship in academia is so wonderful.

Even in the current position, even though his research has caused headaches for the leaders of countless countries, overseas scholars have not excluded him from the academic world... At least, occasionally he can still receive from "Mathematics" Invitation for review from the editorial department of Annual Magazine. It's just that because he is too busy with work, if it is not for the papers that arouse his interest, he will reject most of the review invitations.

In the final analysis, controlled fusion is not a scourge, and the STAR-2 demonstration reactor project and the Manhattan project are also fundamentally different. It has affected the stability of the global political structure, but it is not a tool for killing after all, and its original intention was not to destroy anyone.

From the standpoint of political correctness, its appearance will reduce global carbon emissions, make energy cleaner, and make the future of mankind better... maybe the United Nations will award him "Guardian of the Earth" prize"?

At least until he participates in the design of weapons, everyone's opinion of him will not change except for those whose interests have been harmed.

Big Year.

Lu Zhou, who was lying in the CT machine, had his first physical examination after the new year.

Looking at the intracranial CT image in his hand, academician Kasting from the Royal Academy of Sciences rubbed his index finger on the stubble on his chin and said with great interest.

"You're doing well physically and your recovery is going pretty well... It's just unbelievable what's happened to you, to be honest."

Lu Zhou: "Unbelievable?"

"Yes," Academician Kastin said without hesitation, "keep the brain in a dormant state through sleep, and it can last for more than 20 days. Maybe you don't think it's so interesting, but in medicine, this It's an amazing thing."

Lu Zhou: "...I really don't think this matter is interesting."

"Anyway, we're leaving tomorrow." Taking out a business card from his pocket, Academician Castine handed it to Lu Zhou with a bright smile on his face, "If you want to find out more about your brain Feel free to contact me anytime. I can bet you that this is definitely a Nobel Prize-level discovery—"

Putting away the business card, Lu Zhou said indifferently: "Oh, I already have that thing."

"..."

Smiling awkwardly, Academician Kastin coughed lightly and continued.

"But you haven't won the medical award yet, have you? We can jointly sign all the research results on your brain..."

Lu Zhou said perfunctorily: "Let's talk about it another day, at least for now, my mind is still clear."

Kastin: "..."

Although Lu Zhou is also very curious about what happened in his brain, but with modern medical research on the brain, it may be futile to try to understand the mystery.

After leaving the CT room, Lu Zhou conveniently threw Academician Castine's business card into the trash can at the corner.

At this moment, the cell phone in his pocket vibrated suddenly.

After unlocking the screen lock, Xiao Ai's exclusive bubbles popped out of the screen.

【Master, there is new mail (^^*)】

After clicking the link it handed over, Lu Zhou opened the mailbox directly.

When he saw this unread email, he was slightly taken aback, and the expression on his face couldn't help being a little weird.

[Hello, Dear Professor Lu Zhou, I am Kleiber. After hearing the news of your coma, I feel extremely sad. May you be healthy and safe...]

【...Although it may be a bit abrupt to say this, but I am now in the capital of China, I wonder if it is convenient for you now? 】

[If it is convenient, there are some things that I want to talk to you face to face. 】

...

In a coffee shop not far from Wukesong Subway Station, Professor Kleiber, who was sitting by the window, watched the crowd of people coming and going outside the window, and glanced at his watch from time to time.

At this time, the wind chime hanging at the entrance of the coffee shop suddenly rang a series of crisp sounds.

Professor Kreber looked up and saw two people walking towards him.

Sitting down opposite Professor Kreber, Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Nice to meet you, my dear friend."

"Nice to meet you..." As he spoke, Professor Kleber glanced at Yan Yan who was standing behind Lu Zhou, and then turned his questioning gaze to Lu Zhou.

Sensing the change in his expression, Yan Yan looked at Lu Zhou and asked, "Do I need to avoid it?"

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "That's not necessary, just sit by the side."

Yan Yan hesitated for a while, but finally did not sit down, but continued to stand behind Lu Zhou.

Seeing that Lu Zhou didn't seem to want her to avoid it, Creber hesitated for a moment, and finally said slowly, "To be honest... we have hit a bottleneck in the research of stellarator."

Upon hearing the name of the stellarator, Yan Yan immediately became nervous.

However, Lu Zhou's expression didn't change, he just smiled and said, "Oh?"

Seeing that Lu Zhou didn't say anything, Professor Kreber was silent for a while, and then continued, "I know that such a request may embarrass you, but I can't think of a better way other than asking for your help... I will not make it difficult for you to provide us with technical help, even if it is just a little inspiration. If you agree that controlled fusion is a technology that all human beings will benefit from, I beg you to give me guidance A clear path."

Lu Zhou was silent for a long time looking at this German professor who bowed his head to him for the sake of science.

Finally, he sighed softly.

"Sorry, my dear friend, if you just want to discuss with me the physical model of plasma turbulence, or other questions about physics or mathematics, I can answer your confusion. But in the case of controlled fusion I can't give you any more hints on the matter."

"As you said, this is a technology that all mankind will benefit from, but unfortunately, your arrogance and prejudice have led to the current situation. If it weren't for the quarrel at the ITER meeting, we I had the opportunity to share the joy of this victory together."

Having said that, Lu Zhou paused for a moment, then continued to speak.

"What's more, the STAR-2 demonstration reactor is not the result of me alone, but the brainchild of hundreds of research institutes. If I help you now, it will be the biggest disservice to those compatriots who have worked hard with me. Responsible."

Professor Kleiber looked at Lu Zhou with a complicated expression.

"I thought you'd agree that science knows no borders..."

"Yes, I still agree with this until now," Lu Zhou said softly in response to his gaze, "but on this basis, scientists have nationality."

The conversation fell silent.

Looking at Professor Kleber who bowed his head and said nothing, Lu Zhou was silent for a while, and then spoke.

"I understand your mood at the moment, but there is only so much I can say. However, if you really desire this technology, I can point you to a clear path."

Professor Kreber raised his head abruptly.

"Go ahead."

Lu Zhou said: "Let the politicians in your country come to talk, not to come to me, but to those who they should go to."

"Things other than these studies have nothing to do with us scholars. It should not be up to you to plead for your motherland."

"Huaguo is an open country. Whether it is economy, culture, science or other fields, we have never shied away from integrating into the big family of the international community. However, integration and acceptance are the common obligations of both parties, and should not be based on certain principles. A unilateral compromise by one country is the price."

"I believe that as long as you are willing to let go of your prejudices and show enough sincerity, there is still the possibility of cooperation between us."
