It is indeed a pity that he cannot continue to fight side by side with Lu Zhou in the aerospace field, but for Hou Guang, it was during the period when Chief Designer Lu left the front line that he really felt that he had grown.

This growth is not limited to academic ability, but also lies in academic leadership ability and the management ability of research teams.

In the past, Lu Zhou did all these things himself.

And Chief Designer Lu, who has led the domestic controllable fusion project, is indeed very good in this regard.

However, these experiences cannot be passed on directly to others through training, but can only be learned through practice.

Sometimes Hou Guang can't help but think, maybe it was with this in mind that in order to leave room for himself to grow, Lu Zhou chose to retreat from the front line.

Every time I think of this, Hou Guang can't help but cry tears.

In the big dye vat of academia, it is even rarer than giant pandas to have such noble feelings and take the initiative to give opportunities to those who need them.

However, if Academician Wang Zengguang, the chief engineer of the nuclear industry group who had cooperated with Lu Zhou on the controlled nuclear fusion project, knew his thoughts, he was afraid that he would laugh.

Can that guy have this feeling?

Maybe.

But certainly not the main reason!

In addition to not being interested in power, the most fundamental reason is probably laziness.

Anyone who knows Lu Zhou knows that this guy never stays in a field for too long, even if it is his favorite mathematics, when he has achieved the level that he has no opponent in a certain research direction, or there is no room for improvement, he will immediately jump out of his comfort zone and create greater miracles in a new field.

What did that guy write in the letter to the central government when he stepped down from his position as chief designer of nuclear fusion engineering?

Those euphemistic words aside, the core idea is nothing more than two.

Controlled nuclear fusion has been developed, and I'm going to play with a different research topic.

When the chief designer is so tired, you should quickly send someone to take care of it......

……

"Ahh

on the highway.

Lu Zhou, who was sitting in the back of the car looking at the scenery, suddenly sneezed without warning.

Wang Peng, who was sitting in front of the car, looked in the rearview mirror and asked.

"Is the air conditioner down?"

"No, no, it's okay to ...... at this temperature" Rubbing his nose, Lu Zhou muttered, "Who is thinking about my handsomeness", and then returned his attention to the paper spread out on his knees.

This paper is the paper that Luo Wenxuan showed him last week.

The only difference is that although it is the same content, it is not given to it by the same person.

In fact, Lu Zhou didn't want to look at this thing in the first place, and it can be seen from the abstract that this kind of theoretical speculation can neither solve the existing problems, nor can it make a complete physical explanation for the unknown phenomenon, so it has no research value at all.

However, what he didn't expect was that this guy actually submitted the paper to PRL. And what he didn't expect was that PRL actually sent him a review invitation and asked him to help review the manuscript.

Because of the principle of double blindness, Senior Brother Luo probably wouldn't have thought that his paper would be sent to his junior brother.

In line with the principle of "family ugliness is inconvenient to publicize", Lu Zhou finally accepted PRL's invitation to review the paper and printed it out and took it with him. As for why he is on the highway at the moment, it is naturally to go home for the New Year.

In fact, strictly speaking, there is still a week or two before the Chinese New Year, and according to the original plan, Lu Zhou also planned to stay until a few days before returning home.

But these days, people often come to his office, some ask about grades, some give gifts, in short, they are people with crooked brains, which makes him annoyed.

Although there were such things in previous years, this year, because the exam schedule was compressed to the end of the year, the people who were looking for him also gathered together.

In addition, there are some faculty and staff who have found him for the year-end debriefing and all kinds of things and want to ask him to do things, and the huge office can no longer accommodate a quiet desk.

After stuffing the matter of revising the volume to He Changwen, Lu Zhou simply went home early for the New Year.

As for why drive back.

It will naturally be more convenient to have a car during the Chinese New Year.

In fact, he originally wanted to drive a sports car back, but the compact space was really not suitable for long-distance travel, so he changed to the black red flag that the state gave him at the suggestion of Wang Peng.

It is also a customized model, this one has more space in the back row, and it is more comfortable, and you can even lie down when you are tired, which is suitable for driving long distances. As for the Zidian MAX coupe, in addition to being used to pretend to be forced, running long distances is really torturing itself.

This is a bit of force, Lu Zhou still has it in his heart.

"Minkowski has a very deep understanding of space theory, but unfortunately his mathematical skills are still a little poor...... Is this guy really a student brought out by Mr. Witten? ”

It's not just a matter of calculation, but the most fundamental problem is logical self-consistency.

For the field of theoretical physics, mathematics is important, but not decisively important.

For some scholars who can only use basic mathematical tools, it is also possible to create new theories, such as Frank Wilzek, who had a brief collaboration with Lu Zhou, whose theoretical research in the field of quark particles did not use too advanced mathematical theories.

Physicists like Edward Witten, who were able to invent mathematical tools on their own and won the Fields Medal, were a minority of the few.

Obviously, the error in Brother Luo's paper is not only in the problem of calculation, but in the most fundamental logical self-consistency. This kind of manuscript that is pitched with a hot brain is a coincidence if it can be passed.

Shaking his head with a smile, Lu Zhou used a ballpoint pen to annotate a line of reviewers at the end of the paper paper.

【Not passed】

Thinking about drafting?

Inexistent.

Not to mention the problems with the paper itself......

I said that kind of thing, I can't let him eat the table, right?

Throwing the paper aside, Lu Zhou glanced at the flying scenery outside the car window, and suddenly asked.

"Where have we been?"

Wang Peng, who was holding the steering wheel, replied.

"There are still 10 kilometers to pass through Jiangcheng."

Lu Zhou nodded, and at this moment, he suddenly remembered something.

"Speaking of which, the newly established Hubei Semiconductor Industrial Base, the fifth largest semiconductor industry cluster, is located on the outskirts of Jiangcheng?"

Wang Peng was slightly stunned, not knowing why Lu Zhou was talking to him about this matter.

However, even if he knew something about it because of his work, he still nodded.

"Hmm...... I remember that it was in the eastern suburbs of Jiangcheng. ”

Is it in the eastern suburbs of Jiangcheng?

The legendary center of the universe, Optics Valley East......

Thinking of the fifth largest semiconductor industry group in full swing, and then thinking of the carbon-based semiconductor production and research base jointly founded by Chen Yushan and him some time ago, it seems that it is here, Lu Zhou suddenly said on a whim.

"Let's stop by."

"Okay."

Although it was very unexpected for Lu Zhou to make a sudden decision, Wang Peng didn't talk nonsense, skillfully changed the lane with the steering wheel, and drove in the direction of the exit of the expressway.

has driven Lu Zhou for so many years, and he can be said to be quite familiar with this big man's temperament.

Spontaneous behavior has almost become the norm.

This is true both in life and in research.

It's as if this time when I went home, I only notified him when I was leaving, and I didn't arrange it in advance.

As a good driver, he has long been used to it.

However, although Wang Peng is used to it, some people are not......

At the exit of the Gangneung Expressway, which is more than 200 kilometers away from Jiangcheng, a group of people are shivering in the cold wind......
