After a long wait, when checking his mailbox one night, Lu Zhou received a reply from Computational Materials Science. The technical editor who contacted him informed him that his paper had passed the peer review process and would be published in the latest issue of Impurities.

At the same time, in the reply letter, the reviewer Monchi M. G. Bawandi's reply, though only in one word.

“interesting？ Interesting? Whether it's good or not, can't you give an evaluation? ”

It's too casual to be published if it's interesting, right?

Looking at this reply, Lu Zhou shook his head.

Intrigued, he hooked up the VPN and googled the name of "Mr. Bawendi".

As a result, I don't know if I don't search, and I am shocked when I search.

Hold the grass, it turned out to be a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology! A big man in the field of quantum dot technology and nanomaterials research! Raymond and Beverlisak Award Winners!

It turned out to be another big guy.

Can't be provoked......

After teasing Xiao Ai for a while, Lu Zhou saw that it was not early, so he covered his laptop and prepared to sleep.

At this time, Shi Shang, who was lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone, suddenly said coldly.

"I'm in charge."

There was silence in the dormitory for a while.

Then, Liu Rui snored from his side.

Just when Lu Zhou hesitated, he, who seemed to be the only one who was awake, should he go up to cooperate with classmate Shi Shang and let him finish this force before going to bed, Huang Guangming, who had been lying on the bed and had not moved, suddenly squeaked cheaply.

"Which one is in the class?"

Shi Shang: "Get out!" ”

MMP！

All the men in the class!

Liu Rui, who was snoring fiercely on the bed, suddenly laughed out of a pig cry, and almost choked himself.

Well, this kid pretended to sleep quite similarly, and almost deceived Lu Zhou, but unfortunately the laughter was too low.

Huang Guangming coughed and said, "Ahem, I just asked casually...... Which one, Brother Fei, which courtyard is my sister-in-law from? ”

Shi Shang: "Outside Chinese Academy." ”

Huang Guangming was surprised: "Hold the grass, just the freshman who went up to give you flowers at the last Golden Autumn Song Meeting?" Beasts! ”

Shi Shang rubbed his index finger and said with a slight smug smile: "It's okay, right?" ”

"Yes...... Hold the grass, friendship! Head of dormitory, let's wait for your promise, from freshman to sophomore. Huang Guangming suddenly reacted, patted his thigh and said.

Liu Rui didn't pretend to be asleep, and lay on the bed and echoed: "That's it." ”

Lu Zhou smiled in his heart and did not speak.

Hehe, a bunch of mouth cannons.

When the time comes, it's really a friendship, I'm afraid that one or two of them will be pure and similar to that.

He knows the animals so well!

"Let's wait for the start of school next year, I'm going to take the exam soon, and I'm going to have a hammer for friendship, delaying myself and others. My brother Shang put aside the words, next year, at most, two weeks, to ensure that the friendship will start, and lie to you that you are dogs. Shi Shang waved his hand and said boldly.

Liu Rui: "666!" ”

Huang Guangming: "Yes, it's still Feige's atmosphere, unlike elbows, he doesn't say anything when he takes off the order, and he doesn't help his brother." ”

As soon as he heard this, Lu Zhou was immediately unhappy.

How can there be such a person who tarnishes people's innocence out of thin air?

So, he immediately retorted.

"What's off? Which eye do you see that I'm off? ”

Shi Shang: "Don't beep, do you want to go for friendship?" ”

Lu Zhou: "Go!" Why not? ”

But this promise, Lu Zhou regretted it in less than a second.

Eating with a group of strangers?

Do you want to sing KTV together after eating? Playing board games?

It's very uncomfortable to hear.

Or......

Is it time to goo?

……

Computational materials science is, after all, an emerging discipline, and emerging means unpopular.

Unlike the number theory paper that caused a sensation in the domestic academic circles, this paper on "the effect of CNTs materials on the hydration reaction of Portland cement in the early age" did not cause any media sensation, and even related news could not be searched.

However, in contrast to the indifference of people outside the circle, this paper has received wide attention from industry insiders.

As for the reason for this, it is not because of the "influence of CNTs on Portland cement" itself, but there are not as many people who study cement materials as expected. What really prompted those in the industry to ponder this paper repeatedly was the mathematical method used by Lu Zhou in the paper and the mathematical model established during the demonstration, which provided a reference for computational chemistry, an emerging discipline that is still in its infancy.

It is precisely for this reason that Bawandi gave an "interesting" evaluation of his paper.

As the days passed, and exam week drew closer, the Summoner's Canyon could no longer be heard in Dorm 201. Even Huang Guangming, a cuttlefish expert, picked up the textbooks that were about to fall into dust and began to run to the library all day.

The knowledge in the textbooks has already been thoroughly understood, but Lu Zhou did not feel the pressure from the exam week.

As always, I soak in the library, either reading books, or downloading some open courses from foreign universities from the turtle, or brushing some papers against translation tools. He found that this learning method could not only broaden his knowledge, but also improve his English, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

As for Sunday, Lu Zhou still went to tutor Han Mengqi as always. It's good to think a lot about difficult problems, change your mind once in a while, and think about simple questions. And it's quite rewarding to watch a primary school scumbag being trained by himself to become a primary school bully.

By the way, under his tutelage, Han Mengqi's monthly examination results have steadily improved, and Ms. Yang's salary for him has changed from an hourly salary of 100 yuan to 500, which is 2,500 yuan for five hours a day......

But that's secondary.

Recalling the changes that have happened to him in the past half a year, Lu Zhou couldn't help but sigh.

Sure enough, knowledge is power.

Before I left the campus, I had already received an "annual salary of 100,000 yuan", not to mention that I had obtained various scholarships, and now my savings have broken one million. Although it is certainly not enough to buy a house in full, the down payment is definitely enough.

On the other hand, although the free experience rewarded by the system has not yet arrived, Lu Zhou has already begun to plan how to spend it after getting it.

In addition to mathematics, many of the papers he has downloaded from CNKI these days are in the fields of physics, chemistry, and materials science, on the one hand, to expand his knowledge, and on the other hand, he hopes to understand the current hot research directions.

Probably stimulated by his efforts, Liu Rui came over cheekily and asked for a copy of the literature he downloaded.

Although he didn't want to discourage this child's enthusiasm for learning, Lu Zhou didn't want this guy to have a strange misunderstanding, thinking that he was also the type of person who chased ten streets with a kitchen knife when he glanced at his notes, so he still copied a copy of the past.

Outcome......

When he opened the document, Liu Rui's expression was confused.

Silently turned off the PDF reader, he pretended that nothing had happened, took out the textbook, and began to think about life in front of the scratch paper.

In the end, Lu Zhou didn't know if he had read the literature, but he knew that for several days, this guy's mood was not very high......
