It wasn't just Professor Lee who received the invitation.

At the same time, those who received the invitation letter also included Lao Tang and Academician Lu.

After sending these three invitations, Lu Zhou suddenly found that his original worries seemed to be completely unnecessary.

Counting my father and mother plus Xiaotong, three professors from Jinling University, five of my students, and senior sisters...... It seems that the quota has been almost used up?

As for the remaining two places, Lu Zhou thought about it for a long time and didn't think about how to deal with it.

Professor Deligne attended the end-of-year meeting of the European Mathematical Society in France, and Professor Feverman went with him.

As for the old man Witten......

Although he may be interested in the Nobel Prize dinner, it is a pity that he is attending an important conference in the international theoretical physics community at CERN and cannot find time either.

It seems that the weeks leading up to Christmas have been busy.

As for inviting former roommates......

I can't make up enough three places, and I always feel that it's not good to leave anyone behind.

After thinking about it and not coming up with a good note, Lu Zhou finally decided to put the issue aside.

If the quota is empty, it will be empty, there is no need to make up for fourteen people.

He had more important things to do than to worry about this kind of thing.

For example, to find a suitable method for the industrial preparation of SG-1 materials.

The samples they obtained in the experiment were basically obtained by chemical vapor deposition, through the high-temperature carbon source gas to deposit a layer of carbon atom film on the substrate, and then dissolve the substrate to obtain graphene materials.

However, this alone is not enough, and the process only results in the initial graphene feedstock. In order to achieve superconductivity at a temperature of 101K, it also needs to be N-doped and a series of processes.

In fact, these things should have been thought about by the industry, but Lu Zhou couldn't wait that long.

When there was finally an engineer with a technical background like Professor Lazersson, he "opened his brain" and took a fancy to this market with meager profits but no competitors at all, but I was afraid that his task would have been cold for a long time.

At present, the most widely used field of superconducting materials is scientific research itself.

However, fortunately, Lu Zhou had also read some idle books on industrial design before, and went to the engineering professor to take a few classes, combined with his LV2 engineering level, it was not very difficult to absorb these unfamiliar knowledge.

It may not be possible to ask him to design a production line from start to finish, but it is still feasible to improve the laboratory preparation method and find a lower cost synthesis method.

It really didn't work, he simply used laboratory methods to synthesize it.

Anyway, isn't it just burning money?

If he really made the DEMO demonstration pile, he still needs to worry about money at that time?

Not to mention burning 100 million into it, even if it burns 1 billion, it won't be a loss......

As the end of the month drew closer, Professor Chirick flew to Boston for the MRS Fall Meeting.

As for Lu Zhou, in addition to the experiment on SG-1 materials, he also had to find time to prepare for the Nobel Lecture after the award ceremony.

What's more interesting is that he has received a lot of invitations to awards during this time.

One of the most famous is the New Vision Award, which is said to have been sponsored by a Russian billionaire and the founders of Google, Facebook, Tencent and other companies. There are also some awards that are not very well-known and he can't even search for them on the Internet.

After all, he is the legendary Nobel Prize winner, and both Lu Zhou's age and achievements are full of topicality.

It took a century for Prague to break the 25-year-old record, and it was only a year since the record was broken. If you want to break this new record, you don't know how many centuries from now.

Although he didn't mind winning a few more awards, so many invitations were stuffed into his mailbox, which really gave Lu Zhou a headache.

It seems that as soon as this Nobel Prize comes out, there are really a lot of people who want to rub his popularity.

Because after going to Stockholm, he had to go to Paris, and Lu Zhou really didn't have so much time to fly around the world, so he finally asked Xiao Ai to help him turn off all the awards that had nothing to do with the academic world.

However, Lu Zhou later learned that the prize money of the New Vision Award was $3 million......

The thought of his passing with $3 million made him feel a pang of heartache.

While $3 million may not seem like much to him, who would think it's too much?

What's more, it's still picked up for nothing.

But the push was pushed away, and even if he wanted to regret it, he didn't have that chance, so he could only give up.

……

On the last day of November, Lu Zhou and Princeton took a short long vacation to start preparing for their trip to Stockholm.

Around the same time, good news came from Professor Chirik, who was on his way to Boston for the MRS Fall Meeting.

On the phone, Professor Chirik said in an excited tone.

"The presentation went very smoothly, and the people who came to listen to the presentation even squeezed from the aisle of their seats all the way to the corridor, you should really come and see it!"

Hearing Professor Chirik's excited tone, Lu Zhou couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth.

When he presented his paper on modified PDMS materials at the MRS autumn meeting, the people who came to listen to the report seemed to crowd into the corridor.

Looking back now, I really miss it.

After hearing it for a moment, Lu Zhou asked about business.

"Are there any companies interested in our technology?"

Chirik: "Yes, yes, but ...... It may not be what you expected. ”

Lu Zhou: "What do you mean?" ”

Chirik: "It was IBM who approached me, and they were interested in our technology, not because of its superconducting properties, but because of the semiconductor properties that Mott insulators exhibit from a particular angle. ”

Lu Zhou's heart moved, and he immediately reacted.

"Are they going to use SG-1 material for electronics?"

Professor Chirick nodded: "It seems so, they are doing research in the direction of carbon-based electronics, but they only asked me some technical details and asked if we need funding?" I told them no, and they left without saying anything. ”

Speaking of which, Chirik's voice was a little regretful.

When the people at IBM approached him, he thought they were going to pay for the patent licenses, but unfortunately they didn't.

Obviously, they still have concerns about whether this material is really suitable for use in electronic devices, and they need to verify it in their own laboratory.

As for the superconducting material itself, some medical device companies that involve superconducting material components in the production process have expressed interest in this technology, but only interest.

Seeing that his partner seemed to be a little lost, Lu Zhou casually comforted: "There is nothing to regret, the research of superconducting materials is not a hot direction in the industry itself, and it is normal that it cannot arouse the interest of the industry." ”

"I know, I just think that this great technology is not recognized by industry......" As if not knowing how to describe the feeling, Professor Chirik paused for a moment, shrugged his shoulders and continued, "Anyway, it's a bit of a pity. ”

Lu Zhou: "A great technology does not hinder its greatness because it cannot arouse the interest of industry, and I can assure you that it will be used in a great project. ”

Chirik: "For example? ”

Lu Zhou coughed lightly: "I can't tell you yet, when it comes to 2025, you will naturally understand what I mean." ”

Professor Chirik was speechless, "Well, it looks like I'll have to wait until seven years before I can unravel the mystery." ”
