Chapter 599: A Market Created by a Thesis

Making money seems like an easy task for a Nobel laureate if he finds the right method.

Although most investors have rich investment experience and financial knowledge, they don't necessarily know much about science. Under such circumstances, some rational investors usually either avoid investing in this field, or consult relevant experts.

And when it comes to experts, in the eyes of ordinary people, it seems that there is no more authoritative proof than the Nobel Prize.

Under such circumstances, even if it is a seemingly unreliable concept, as long as it is pulled on the platform of the Nobel Prize winner, it can cause a lot of investors to run into the market...even if they don't understand themselves What kind of pit did you jump into.

In addition to controlled fusion, there are too many similar things.

For example, the hyped blockchain...

At this moment, Lu Zhou didn't know how many people jumped from the small pit of controllable fusion to the big pit of miniaturization of controllable fusion in less than one night because of his thesis. And how many smart people who seized the opportunity more than doubled their worth.

Almost within a day, the concept of controllable fusion batteries on the other side of the Pacific Ocean became popular, and a market of tens of billions of dollars rose from the ground.

There seems to be little movement here in China. After all, controllable fusion is still a sensitive technology. Even if most private companies and venture capital companies are watching eagerly, they can't get tickets for admission, let alone make money by playing with this concept.

However, although the thunder is not loud, the rain is not too small.

As the work of various research units has been carried out one after another, the project of controllable fusion battery has been on the right track.

It’s just that compared to the demonstration reactor project, the miniaturization project of controllable fusion is not so urgent. Neither the country nor Lu Zhou is in a hurry. He has enough time to study slowly.

And compared to the work done by others, he mainly played a leading role.

As for the focus of work at this stage, it is still on the reward task of the system.

The next morning, Lu Zhou woke up early.

After getting up and washing up, he changed into his sportswear and jogged along the asphalt road at the entrance of the villa towards the golf course.

Now it is the beginning of spring in March, and the tail of winter has passed. Although it is only six o'clock, the sky is already bright. Looking through the thin morning fog, you can just see the golden glow of the morning sun on the Zijin Mountain.

Usually, if he is not particularly busy, he will come here for a stroll in the morning or evening. Even if you are not interested in the slow-paced sport of golf, the greenery here is quite good.

After sprinting for a short distance, he stopped beside the bench, and Lu Zhou wiped his sweat with the towel on his shoulder.

It happened that an old man in his fifties was also doing morning exercises nearby. When he saw him sitting here, he greeted him with a smile.

"Hey, Professor Lu came to do morning exercises today?"

In a sense, he is also a celebrity in this community.

Some time ago, when the controlled fusion project was in full swing, a company was stationed here in a nearby war zone to be responsible for its security, and this matter has been talked about by many people until now.

Throwing the towel on his shoulders, Lu Zhou stood up with a smile and said, "Well, if you don't exercise, you can't do it. Scientific research is a physical activity. If you don't exercise, you won't be able to keep up with the rhythm of young people."

The old man didn't have a very high smile, he laughed and said: "I think you are not even thirty years old, but you are in a hurry to draw a clear line with young people."

"It's twenty-six, and it's time to go to three."

Zhongshan International is, after all, the top wealthy district in Jinling. Most of the people living here are either rich or expensive. For example, the Zhang Anqiang who spoke to him is the boss of a listed company and one of the local star entrepreneurs in Jinling. one.

Because of the frequent encounters, he did recognize the old man's name. However, whether it is placed here or next to the industrial giants that Lu Zhou has come into contact with, the billions of worth are just mere mediocrity.

At least in Lu Zhou's eyes, this old man doing morning exercises is no different from an ordinary person.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lu Zhou got up and continued his morning run.

The rising sun in the sky completely dispelled the morning fog. After finishing his morning run, Lu Zhou returned home and went upstairs to the bathroom to take a shower.

After changing into the windbreaker he usually wears, the doorbell rang. After confirming the identity of the visitor through Xiao Ai, Lu Zhou ordered it to open the door, and then walked downstairs.

"I bought breakfast for you." Wang Peng put the soy milk and a basket of soup dumplings on the dining table, and looked at Lu Zhou who was coming down the stairs. Wang Peng asked, "Go to the research institute or school later?"

"School."

Shaking off the undried water droplets on his hair, Lu Zhou sat at the dining table while eating soup dumplings, while taking out his mobile phone, and swiped the papers with the attention tag set on Arxiv.

Seeing that Lu Zhou didn't seem to have time to talk to him, Wang Peng sat on the sofa next to him and picked up the magazine on the coffee table.

However, after flipping through several books, I found that there was nothing I could understand, so I reluctantly put it down.

"If you are interested, you can try to start with "scientific-reports", which is a comprehensive journal, and it is not very professional, even ordinary people can understand it."

Seeing Lu Zhou speak suddenly, Wang Peng froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "I thought you only read science or nature."

After drinking the remaining soy milk in one gulp, Lu Zhou took a napkin and wiped his hands.

"Occasionally, I will look for some water magazines."

After comprehending the word "Shuijian" through comprehension, Wang Peng asked, "Finding gold from the sand?"

Lu Zhou: "No, I just think there are some interesting ideas on it."

Wang Peng: "..."

Glancing at his watch, seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Zhou said, "I'm done eating, let's go."

"I'm going to drive." Standing up from the sofa, Wang Peng suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Dr. Yan asked me to bring you a sentence."

"What words?"

"Don't forget the physical examination tomorrow."

Lu Zhou nodded: "Okay, I see."

...

Twenty minutes by car.

A black red flag was parked downstairs in the courtyard.

Greeting Old Tang who was going downstairs to class, Lu Zhou went straight to his office.

Seeing Lu Zhou appearing at the door, Lin Yuxiang, who was lying on the table and yawning while preparing for the national exam, his eyes lit up. He immediately got up and walked to the coffee machine next to him. After a while, he held a steaming cup of coffee. Walked back and gently placed it on his desk.

"I put some milk in your coffee for you, which is said to help relieve fatigue."

"Well, thank you."

Lu Zhou just took a sip, then put down the cup.

"tasty?"

"Fresh ground?"

Staring at Lu Zhou intently, Lin Yuxiang curled his index finger behind his back and said, "Well, my boyfriend brought it from Brazil when he returned to China. If you like it, I can let him spend more time next time he comes back. Bring some."

Lu Zhou: "That's not necessary, I still prefer instant ones."

Lin Yuxiang: "...?"

Kong Jie, who was sitting at the desk not far away, wanted to laugh a little, but she lowered her head and held back.

At this time, the door of the office opened slightly.

I saw a high ponytail swaying in through the crack of the door.

With a vigilant look at the woman standing in front of the desk, Han Mengqi walked to the side of the desk and whispered.

"...Master, can I take a moment of your time?"

"Call me professor," Lu Zhou coughed lightly, then turned to look at Lin Yuxiang who was standing beside him, "...you go and do your work first."

"Ah... yes."

Only then did she come to her senses, Lin Yuxiang nodded dumbly, turned around and left.

Looking at the back of the woman leaving, Han Mengqi couldn't hide the corners of her mouth. It wasn't until she noticed Lu Zhou's questioning gaze that she remembered the purpose of her trip.

Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, she quickly took out the paper in her hand, pointed to the marked places on it, and whispered.

"I have completed the task you assigned...but there are a few places that I still don't understand."

Lu Zhou simply glanced at the lines of marked formulas on the paper.

"It's all about calculations?"

"Well," Han Mengqi nodded shyly, lowered her head a little unconfidently and said, "... Am I too stupid?"

"How come? In my opinion, you are already very talented. No one is born with it, just ask what you don't understand."

Taking out a piece of draft paper from the drawer, Lu Zhou picked up the pen and deduced the formulas on the paper, explaining the essentials to his little apprentice.

After the explanation, Lu Zhou paused for a moment, then continued.

"In general, for the few tasks I assigned, you have done well, but the calculation still needs to be strengthened."

"If you plan to make innovations based on my theory, I suggest that you can choose the semiconductor/electrolyte solution interface as an entry point."

Han Mengqi: "...semiconductor/electrolyte solution interface?"

Lu Zhou nodded and said, "As far as the phenomenological model is concerned, the physical image of the semiconductor/electrolyte solution interface is more complicated than that of the metal/electrolyte solution interface. The existing theory of this interface mainly focuses on the potential distribution of the space charge layer. However, there is a lack of in-depth discussion on the surface state of the interface, the influence of deep energy levels on the interface and other issues."

Han Mengqi tilted her head unconsciously: "Can't your theoretical model of electrochemical interface structure explain it?"

Lu Zhou: "To a certain extent, it is possible, but it is not perfect. My theoretical model is mainly extended to the electronic conductor/electrolyte solution interface, but it does not involve the semiconductor."

"I happen to have a project on carbon-based chips here. If you are interested, you can try to get in touch with this research."

Carbon-based chips have always been one of the key projects of Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, and some progress has been made so far, but several key technical bottlenecks have not yet been broken through.

If the situation is optimistic, results should be seen within three to five years.

Seriously remembering Lu Zhou's words, Han Mengqi nodded and said, "Yes! I will remember!"

Listening to the conversation between Lu Zhou and Han Mengqi, Liu Siyuan, who was reading a book, only felt his scalp go numb.

Sure enough, this is the world of the strong?

He finally understands now that when he first entered this door, that meaningful sentence that the senior brother surnamed He said...

At this moment, the door of the office opened quietly again.

Thinking it was other students coming, Lu Zhou looked up at the door, but after seeing the familiar face, it was because of this unexpected visitor that he was slightly stunned.

Not only Lu Zhou was stunned, but also Han Mengqi.

Looking at the man at the door, she was surprised.

"elder sister?"
