Time passes slowly on the tip of Friedman's pen as if the words were being written.

Chen Zhou always stood silently, silently waiting for Friedman to stop writing.

Both McIson and Coyle wondered why they hadn't heard the voices of the two men for so long.

They stretched out their heads curiously to take a look, only to find that this little junior brother from Huaguo had been waiting silently.

The two men withdrew their gaze and looked at each other.

They all saw a hint of wonder in each other's eyes.

Chen Zhou's patience made them admire.

Shortly before 11:30 p.m., Friedman finally put down his pen and prepared to get up and make a cup of coffee.

As soon as I turned my head, I saw the figure of a young man.

Friedman was slightly stunned, but quickly matched the young man's face with the photos he had seen.

Friedman looked at Chen Zhou: "How long have you waited?"

Chen Zhou replied truthfully: "One hour and thirty minutes." ”

There was not the slightest impatience in Chen Zhou's tone.

This made Friedman a little embarrassed.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. After Friedman finished speaking, he asked curiously, "You can call me, why not?"

Chen Zhou explained with a smile: "I see that you are seriously doing calculations, immersed in the world of research. This is probably the happiest time, and it is also the time when you don't want to be disturbed by anyone. ”

Friedman was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly: "Thank you for your understanding." ”

Chen Zhou: "Professor, you're polite. ”

Friedman then shouted, "McSison, please make two cups of coffee." ”

Maison, who was across the pile of papers, heard the professor's words and hurriedly responded, "Okay, professor." ”

Then he and Coyle looked at each other again, and they seemed even more surprised than before.

When will our Professor Friedman ask for a cup of coffee for the graduate students?

When the two cups of coffee were brewed and McThesson brought them in, he saw Chen Zhou and Friedman communicating amicably.

Once again, he was amazed.

Professor Friedman is notoriously difficult to talk to, and he has little to offer to graduate students.

Not to mention, those who originally belonged to the mathematics department.

Otherwise, there would not be a disdain for that kind of discipline in the physics department of MIT.

But in front of me, it is too harmonious.

It's just incredible!

"Professor, your coffee. McIson handed Friedman a cup of coffee, then handed another cup to Chen.

Chen Zhou took the coffee and whispered, "Thank you." ”

McIson immediately showed a warm smile: "You're welcome!"

Friedman took a sip of his coffee and placed it on the table.

Turning to look at Chen Zhou, he asked, "What is the reason why you chose to continue studying physics?"

Chen Zhou thought for a while and replied: "Probably because I like it, I want to understand the cause and effect of what happened, to understand and experience the world from a more in-depth perspective on the essence of things, and to pursue the essence of the starry universe above our heads." ”

"Also, research itself is a romantic affair. Whether it's looking down on the earth or looking up at the starry sky, there will be a romantic feeling. ”

Friedman didn't expect Chen Zhou's answer to be like this, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.

But it is precisely because of such likes and pursuits that people who regard the earth and the starry sky as a journey can achieve such brilliant achievements.

Friedman chuckled softly, "You're the most ...... I've ever seen The most romantic students. ”

When Chen Zhou heard this, he also smiled: "Maybe it's just that they didn't say it." ”

Friedman was noncommittal, and instead said, "I've seen your dissertation, and it's a good result." So, that's why you chose me as a mentor?"

Chen Zhou nodded lightly: "Yes, professor." When I was at Yan University, my research field was basically always in nuclear physics. ”

"And you're an expert at this, so I want to learn more from you. ”

After Chen Zhou finished speaking, Friedman joked: "Your research field should always be analytic number theory, and your achievements in mathematics are much higher than those in physics." ”

Chen Zhou smiled slightly: "I'll just treat you as a professor and you praise me." ”

Friedman laughed out loud.

Immediately, he said, "If I were to praise you, you would have to achieve the same or even higher attainment in physics." ”

After a pause, Friedman added, "Next week, I'll go to SLAC, and then you will come with me." ”

Chen Zhou was slightly stunned, SLAC is where Friedman won the Nobel Prize.

What does this mean?

As if he saw Chen Zhou's puzzlement, he casually handed the paper at hand to Chen Zhou: "There will be an experiment of a linear high-energy electron accelerator next week." ”

Although he didn't say it too clearly, Chen Zhou already understood.

This is to follow him to do research on his own.

Chen Zhou looked at the contents of the paper and was stunned.

No way?

Are you so lucky?

This time, you came across such an important experiment?

Chen Zhou glanced up at Friedman and asked with some uncertainty, "Professor, can I participate in this experiment?"

Friedman nodded lightly: "As a graduate student, follow me." ”

Chen Zhou immediately said gratefully: "Thank you, professor!"

Friedman waved his hand: "Don't thank me, this is what a mentor should do." Also, you know what you need to prepare, right?"

Chen Zhou nodded heavily: "Yes." ”

"That's good. Friedman is quite satisfied with Chen Zhou.

Of course, this is only from the impression of this meeting.

Specific capabilities, etc., need to be observed.

After thinking about it, Friedman picked up another stack of papers from the table and handed it to Chen Zhou: "You can also take these, hurry up and take a look." ”

After that, he shouted again: "McIsson, leave Chen Zhou's mailbox, and I'll send him a copy of the information later." ”

McIsson's uncertain voice came: "Professor, is this SLAC experiment material?"

Friedman: "Yes. ”

"Good...... Okay, Professor. McSison's voice came again, already full of surprise.

Even more surprised was Coyle.

He looked at McThison with a shocked face, and asked in a very puzzled tone, "Is the professor crazy?"

McIson glanced at him, "I don't know, why don't you go and ask the professor?"

Coyle hurriedly shook his head: "Then I will definitely go crazy first." ”

McIson casually said as he sorted out the information: "Maybe that's the difference...... If Chen Zhou came and witnessed the 'glue ball' we had been looking for, it would really make people crazy......"
