The laboratory was dug into the wall, although it made Sarot angry, but it was only a small episode for Lu Zhou.

After calming Professor Sarot's emotions, he returned to the organic symposium and continued to focus on his own business.

In fact, if Professor Stanley really studied this technology according to that molecular model, Lu Zhou might have to send him a little red flower to thank him for completing the system task for him.

After all, there is no provision for patent rights in the system task, and if the technology is only developed according to the requirements of the task, it should be the same to whoever develops it.

What kind of internationalist spirit is it to pay out of your own pocket, contribute money and efforts, and help others to upgrade their tasks?

Lu Zhou didn't know.

He only hopes that good people will be rewarded.

Also, I hope Professor Stanley doesn't take the answers to the "final exam papers" and copy them on the "midterm exams" papers presumptuously......

After about half a week, the organic workshop finally came to an end.

Lu Zhou, who had learned about this incident, did not change his original itinerary and returned to the east coast by plane.

On his arrival in Philadelphia, Lu Zhou went around the offices of Star Technology's North American branch and met with his manager, White Sheridan.

Putting a copy of the relevant contract in White's hands, Lu Zhou simply instructed him to hire the most professional team of lawyers to prepare for a protracted battle regarding the lawsuit.

If nothing else, Mobil Chemical will definitely intervene, and will definitely use delaying tactics, and he will continue to consume it.

But Lu Zhou didn't care.

He still paid for the litigation fees and lawyer fees......

……

After the Adams Prize in Chemistry was awarded, Lu Zhou returned to his research work.

The Salrot Laboratory, for its part, continues to overcome the technical difficulties of cage molecules, and is struggling to move forward on this path.

At the Jinling Institute of Computational Materials, we continue to study methods for the stable preparation of HCS-1 materials, and at the same time improve HCS-1 materials until they can meet the requirements of the industry.

As for Lu Zhou, with the assistance of experiments, the mathematical model of cathode materials for lithium-sulfur batteries and the theory of computational materials science have been improved.

All the work is going on step by step.

The day before the end of spring break, Connie returned to the Frick lab in Princeton after returning from vacation, and began to work on the next step of the experiment with Lu Zhou.

Changing into an anti-static white coat, Connie, who was preparing for the upcoming experiment, suddenly remembered something and spoke.

"Professor Chirik said I was going to graduate soon."

After hearing the news, Lu Zhou, who was checking the experimental equipment, gently raised the test tube in his hand and made a toast.

"Congratulations."

Of course, this is just a formal toast.

The liquid in the test tube was an organic electrolyte solution, and it was naturally impossible for him to drink it.

"Thank you for that paper," Connie said in a sincere tone, looking at Lu Zhou, "Thanks to your help, I was able to graduate successfully." ”

"You're welcome," Lu Zhou smiled, "This is the honor you deserve." ”

In the paper on HCS-1 materials published in Science, the corresponding author and first author was naturally Lu Zhou, who was the boss.

As for the two, three, four, and five, they are ranked down according to their contributions. Not only is Sarot and several of the main researchers in the institute involved, but Connie, who is Lu Zhou's assistant, is naturally also involved.

With the weight of two "Science" articles, plus Connie's own previous accumulation, he will be able to successfully obtain his Ph.D. by the middle of this year at the latest.

Lu Zhou asked casually, "Do you have any plans for the future?" ”

"Originally, I planned to go to MIT for two years as a postdoctoral researcher after graduating from the Ph.D., and then consider becoming a full-time researcher." Looking at Lu Zhou, Connie shrugged his shoulders and continued, "But now, I suddenly feel that it is not bad to stay in Princeton. ”

Lu Zhou glanced at him unexpectedly and reminded, "Have you thought about it?" The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is a paradise for engineering majors, and you may be able to thrive there. ”

Princeton University is biased towards theory, and the position of chemistry majors here is at best in the middle of the "chain of disciplinary contempt".

A Ph.D. who studies nanomaterials, doing a postdoc here, is definitely not more helpful than doing a postdoc at MIT.

Connie nodded seriously and said in a sincere tone, "I've already thought about it. It's more important who you do with than where you do it. ”

Lu Zhou smiled slightly and said, "I'm glad you can think so." If you don't mind, you're welcome to join my research team! ”

Connie's face was full of joy, and he didn't even ask about the salary and salary, so he couldn't wait: "Of course I don't mind, it's better to say, thank you so much!" ”

Postdoctoral fellows are not degrees, but refer to some scholars who have recently obtained doctoral degrees, and before they become full-time researchers, they receive allowances provided by relevant departments to conduct special research in postdoctoral mobile stations and scientific research workstations.

Generally speaking, postdocs also have supervisors.

However, this mentor is different from the general doctoral supervisor, the latter is a master-apprentice relationship, and the former is a cooperative relationship, so it is also called a cooperative mentor.

Especially in foreign countries, except for postdoctoral fellows funded by Humboldt, Marie Curie, JSPS, Newton, etc., the relationship between co-supervisors and postdocs can be simply analogous to employment relationships.

In terms of professional knowledge, Connie's level is quite good, and most importantly, he is comfortable with it.

Although this guy looks a little bigger and doesn't have much of an image with researchers, Lu Zhou doesn't particularly care about these details. The only thing he asks of his assistant is that he can do the work for him.

And with this guy's physique, maybe he can work part-time as a bodyguard......

After all, meetings like MRS are not peaceful places.

After the experiment, he left the matter of sorting out the instruments to Connie, and Lu Zhou registered the data on the computer.

At this moment, Xiao Ai's pop-up window suddenly flashed in the lower right corner of the computer.

【Master! There is a video call~∠(?) ∠)＿】

Lu Zhou glanced at the content of the pop-up window and replied casually: "I know, open it for me." ”

【Roger!】 (??????)?? 】

Lu Zhou: "......"

After more than a year of self-upgrading, Xiao Ai is now able to accurately identify his voice through the built-in microphone on the laptop, and even determine whether his emotions are stable from the voice.

This is undoubtedly a great step forward for the one who used to only hoard memes like a hamster.

However, Lu Zhou always felt that this guy's skill points seemed to be all in the direction of self-release......

Soon the video call was connected, Lu Zhou looked at Yang Xu on the screen and asked.

"What's the matter?"

"Of course it's a good thing!" Yang Xu had a happy smile on his face, and his tone was full of excitement, "As for the idea you said about synthesizing HCS-1 materials by using glucose as a precursor, it works!" Our experiments have already had initial success! ”

Hearing this news, Lu Zhou's face also showed a hint of a smile.

The stable synthesis of HCS-1 material is the first step to HCS-2 material, and only by solving this problem can more HCS-1 samples be obtained. At the same time, it is also one of the important ways to collect experimental data to analyze the reasons why it can inhibit the diffusion of polysulfide compounds from the synthesis mechanism.

Based on these data, Lu Zhou can also further refine his theory.

"This is really good news, remember to send the experimental data to my inbox."

Yang Xu smiled and nodded: "Of course, I have already asked Qian Zhongming to do it, and you will be able to see the relevant experiment report soon!" ”

I made this call, mainly to report this matter to Lu Zhou.

However, just as he was about to hang up the phone, Yang Xu suddenly remembered another recent incident, so he spoke.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

Lu Zhou: "Just say it." ”

After hesitating, Yang Xu spoke.

"That's right, a researcher who recently jumped to us ......"

Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Do you still need to report to me for such a trivial matter?" In terms of professional level, you can check it yourself. ”

Yang Xu's expression was a little helpless.

"The problem is not in terms of professional ability, I have examined his professional ability, and it can be said that it is quite good, even much stronger than the average master's or even doctorate. In particular, he has extensive experience in the writing of essays and proposals. ”

Lu Zhou's expression was a little strange: "The salary he asks for is too high?" ”

"That's not it," Yang Xu coughed dryly, "It's just that his identity is a bit special......"
