After the experiment is completed, it is time to organize the experiment report.

The day before Christmas, with the assistance of several doctors of plasma physics, Lu Zhou sorted out the experimental report and sent it to the Spiral Stone 7-X laboratory in the name of the "He-3" project team.

The report was received by Professor Kreber, head of the Spiral 7-X laboratory.

After reading the experiment report, he immediately expressed great interest.

While there are still doubts about whether the "He-3" project team can successfully analyze the plasma turbulence phenomenon using those data electromagnetic wave data, this does not prevent them from endorsing the "He-3 probe technology" itself.

After all, this direct observation method not only has higher sensitivity than indirect observation methods, but also obtains more accurate macro and micro parameters.

As an expert in the field of controlled nuclear fusion engineering, he saw at a glance the superiority of this technology and sent an email to the "He-3" project team inviting cooperation.

As soon as he received the reply, Professor Lazersson bought a plane ticket to Berlin and began to prepare for his trip to Germany, even before Christmas.

In the PPPL laboratory, Professor Lazersson, who had already packed his things, looked at Lu Zhou, who was analyzing the experimental data in front of the computer, and couldn't help but say.

"Are you really not going to go with me? Our equipment will be tested on the Spiral 7-X, a true controlled fusion prototype! ”

Stopping what he was doing, Lu Zhou shook his head.

"I have one more meeting to attend after New Year's Day."

Professor Lazersson: "Meeting? Academic conferences? If there is no particularly important report, I really recommend that you push it off. ”

This one......

I can't push it off.

Lu Zhou coughed lightly: "It's not an academic conference, but it's impossible to push it off." And I've been busy all year now and need a vacation to relax. I would like to entrust you with this cooperation with the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics. ”

Professor Lazersson lamented: "It's a shame. ”

"There's no regret, witnessing history doesn't have to be on-site," smiling, Lu Zhou continued in a relaxed tone, "Remember to take a few photos for me." Also, I may inform you by email. ”

Although it was a bit troublesome, it didn't affect the work. As long as he is given a computer and enough scratch paper, he can carry out the research of theoretical work anywhere.

The day before Christmas.

Professor Lazersson flew to Berlin with two engineers from the project team.

Almost noon on the day they set out, snowflakes began to fall in the Princeton sky, and in a short time the place was dyed a world of silver.

Although it was not completely dark, there were basically no people on the streets of the town, and even the commercial streets on Palmer Square looked a little deserted, and many shops even hung up signs saying "temporarily closed" early.

On this day of reunion, everyone is still more willing to stay with their family or friends than to freeze outside, while waiting for the fragrant roast turkey and apple pie to be baked, while making wishes for a better life in the coming year.

However, for Lu Zhou, even if he is in such an atmosphere, he is at most watching the excitement from the side.

After all, the Spring Festival is his New Year.

The night of Christmas Eve was no different from a normal night.

Lu Zhou, who sat next to the warm fireplace with an apple on the table, looked through the data collected by the "He-3" project team and sorted out the collected data against the literature on plasma physics research collected from the flintstone library.

These works are essential before a theoretical model of plasma turbulence can be established.

At this moment, the mobile phone suddenly rang from the table.

Pressing the connect button, Lu Zhou brought the phone to his ear and leaned back on the sofa relaxedly.

Before he could speak, Xiao Tong's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Brother, we've finished the exam!"

Hearing that energetic voice, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned: "Finished the exam so soon?" ”

In his impression, in previous years, their mathematics department did not start to close until late January or even February.

"This year, the end of classes and exams are relatively early, so they are also early. Hey, I heard from the senior sisters that you have to be busy from the second half of the year," Xiao Tong on the other end of the phone sighed old-fashionedly, and continued on Twitter, "By the way, brother, won't you come back for the New Year this year?" ”

Lu Zhou: "Of course I'm back, what's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that Dad asked me to ask you......" Suddenly remembering something, Xiaotong smiled stealthily and continued, "That's right, brother, tomorrow is Christmas, right?" ”

Lu Zhou: "Yes. ”

Xiaotong: "Merry Christmas!" ”

Lu Zhou: "Merry Christmas......"

Is this a hint to himself, is it time to buy her a gift?

Lu Zhou was a little confused about this sudden Christmas blessing, and he couldn't understand what kind of routine this guy was.

Xiao Tong's eyes rolled: "Then, over there, tonight should be Christmas Eve?" ”

Lu Zhou: "That's right......"

Xiaotong immediately asked curiously: "Then, then, who are you going to celebrate the holiday with tonight, brother?" Senpai? ”

When he first heard this, Lu Zhou hadn't reacted yet.

It wasn't until he heard a hint of urgency in that voice that he realized how dirty it was.

“…… What are you thinking about all day long? ”

Xiaotong said seriously: "Brother, you are not young anymore, you are 24 years old!" It's time to think about life's events, too! ”

Lu Zhou asked rhetorically: "Is 24 years old very big?" ”

There was silence on the other end of the line for a few moments.

As if convinced, Xiao Tong frowned and said, "...... It seems to be the same. ”

Lu Zhou sighed.

If only his father and mother were as easy to convince as his sister.

Thinking that it is estimated that when he goes back for the Chinese New Year this year, most of the time he will have a nagging, and he will have a big head.

"Study hard, don't worry about your brother's object all day. I'm too busy at work to have time, and if I had that time, it would be easy to find someone. ”

Xiaotong didn't deny the second half of the sentence, but said dissatisfiedly: "I'm in college, and I'm not a child, and I still talk about studying all day long." ”

Lu Zhou was immediately happy, and said with a smile: "Who told you that you don't need to study in college?" If you don't study hard now, you can only like other people's circle of friends when you grow up. ”

Xiaotong said listlessly: "Then what about studying hard?" ”

Lu Zhou: "Naturally, others give you praise." ”

Xiaotong snorted lightly: "Can you pursue it a little?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Lu Zhou immediately became happy: "It's not that I didn't pursue it, but more fun Even if I tell you, you won't be able to experience it." ”

Xiaotong: "......"

After chatting with Xiaotong for a few words, Lu Zhou didn't talk to her anymore.

After hanging up the phone, he got up and went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee, and when he returned to the couch next to the fireplace and sat down, he continued to flip through the materials.

However, before he could hold the information in his hand, another phone call hit his phone.

Seeing this unexpected caller, Lu Zhou, who picked up the mobile phone, was slightly stunned.

"Phineas?"

It's not scientific.

Fei Ge, who has always regarded Christmas as Valentine's Day, why did he have that leisure and elegance this year, and chose this time to pay him New Year's greetings.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou's expression couldn't help but be a little strange, and he pressed the connect button curiously.

The phone was connected, and the familiar voice quickly came from the other end of the earpiece.

Skinn: "Elbow." ”

Lu Zhou: "What's wrong?" ”

Shi Shang: "I ......"

Hearing that unspeakable voice, Lu Zhou had already guessed in his heart that Fei Ge was most likely encountering something difficult, so he sighed and said.

"Don't mother-in-law, tell me if you have any difficulties, if you can help, my brother will definitely help you."

Shi Shang coughed dryly: "No, I won't ask you for help in this matter." ”

Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows: "Look down on my brother? ”

"Next month, I'm going to get married."

Lu Zhou: "......?" ”
