Since the instrument was bought, not only Dean Li of the School of Chemistry went to Lu Zhou's laboratory every once in a while, but several old professors from the School of Life Sciences also ran cheekily here, looking for an opportunity to get close to him, and came to him to rub the instrument in different ways.

If it weren't for Lu Zhou's research on materials and the lack of use of biotechnology, they would even want to send one of their students to him as a scientific research laborer, and it would be a little more open-minded.

In fact, rubbing the instrument is not a big deal, Lu Zhou used to rub it when he was in Jinda, and he also rubbed it when he was in Princeton, and now he is rubbing a building.

On the premise of not affecting the progress of the experiment, for some requirements that are not very troublesome, Lu Zhou will basically sell Dean Li and several old professors of the School of Life Sciences a face.

However, his rule here is also very clear, do not do magnetic samples, and do not do high-voltage experiments.

At the same time, interns are not allowed to operate on the machine.

With these conditions, at the level of those old professors, just taking a few pictures will not cause him and the instrument to wear out.

On the other side, in addition to Qian Zhongming and Liu Bo, among the researchers officially hired by Lu Zhou, there is also a doctor named Yang Xu.

Dr. Yang has been a postdoctoral fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for two years, and in addition to being proficient in using the instruments he bought, he also has some experience in the field of nanomaterials research and has a certain international vision.

Although it is not a big bull in the field of materials science, and it is a bit reluctant to say that it is a small cow, but for Lu Zhou, it is enough.

He doesn't need that kind of big bull, he just needs others to complete the research plan he has made step by step.

A week ago, Dr. Yang was still at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to go through the resignation procedures, and now he finally took a flight back to China and arrived in Jinling City.

made an appointment to meet, and Lu Zhou met him in a hot pot restaurant near Colonel Jin.

After meeting, the returnee doctor immediately shook Lu Zhou's hand and said with a smile.

"I'm glad to meet you, I've admired Professor Lu's name for a long time!"

This Yang Xu looks ordinary, wearing glasses and has no characteristics. If there is any difference between it and a typical engineering man, it is probably the shy smile.

Lu Zhou also smiled and said to him: "I can't talk about the big name, please sit down." ”

Usually, Lu Zhou and his roommates go to Xiaoyuzhuang at the door for dinner, and this hot pot restaurant is also his first time. However, after listening to the recommendations of several old professors from the School of Life Sciences, the taste of this shop seemed to be good, so he decided to meet here.

After ordering a large plate of fresh fat beef and watching the waiter serve the hot pot with oil floating on it, Lu Zhou and Yang Xu exchanged a few words before chatting about the research.

"The application of hollow carbon spheres and sulfur composite materials to solve the shuttle effect is a promising direction, and it is also the main direction of our research."

"Hollow carbon spheres with large specific surface area can improve the sulfur loading and sulfur utilization rate in electrochemical reactions, and small-pore nanopores can inhibit the diffusion of soluble polysulfide ions into the electrolyte."

"Your main task at this stage is to collect the influence of the specific surface area and pore size of the hollow carbon ball on the sulfur loading, the mass fraction of polysulfide compounds in the electrolyte, and send it to me."

"You've done similar research, right?"

Yang Xu nodded.

"I did a similar study at MIT, and you can just send me the experiment request. By the way, which reagent are you going to use? ”

Lu Zhou thought for a while and said.

"For precursors, use copolymers of polyaniline and polypyrrole, and for pore-forming agents, use polydiallyl dimethylammonium chloride."

The two chatted, bubbles bubbled in the hot pot, and then the fragrance wafted out.

It's okay to talk about chemistry before eating, but it's a bit unappetizing to continue talking during dinner. Especially when I think about those chemicals, I always feel that people can't eat them.

Shabu Shabu the fat beef rolls in the pot, and the topic of the two tacitly moved from the research to other places.

"You just returned to China, have you solved the problem of where you live?"

"I'm a native of Jinling, and I have a house here, so I'm just a subway away." Smiling and saying, Yang Xu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I haven't been home for a long time, and I feel that the changes here are really big." ”

Lu Zhou: "How long have you been abroad?" ”

Yang Xu: "Five years." After going to MIT for a Ph.D., I have been living there ever since. ”

Lu Zhou: "Actually, when I got your resume, I always had a question, but I forgot to ask it during the interview, and I don't know if it's appropriate to ask this question now." ”

Yang Xu smiled heartily and joked: "Ask, just ask, as long as you don't take my offer back." ”

"Of course not, it's not easy for me to find someone to experiment. If you don't work with me for three or five years, I won't let you go. Lu Zhou smiled and continued, "With your academic qualifications, you should be able to get a higher salary in Silicon Valley, why did you choose to return to China?" ”

In Silicon Valley, with his resume, it's okay to get a job with an annual salary of $100,000. But when I go back to China, it may be half difficult.

Unless it is a plan to return to China with hundreds or thousands of people, after returning to China, they will be given a settling-in allowance and scientific research funds, and they will be directly related to the Chinese Academy of Sciences or universities and state-owned enterprise R&D units, but that level of talent is at least second-line researchers abroad, and has no reference value.

Hearing this question, Yang Xu, who was holding the fat cow roll with chopsticks in his hand, suddenly had a somewhat melancholy expression.

"PHDs in Silicon Valley are priceless, especially in engineering, and the demand for talent is shrinking severely. I worked as a postdoc at MIT for two years, and I kept submitting resumes, but I couldn't find a suitable position. ”

Doing research is just starving, except for the big cow who can get a lot of money, and the calf who can drink soup with the big cow, the general scientific research dog has a very hard life.

Speaking of this, Dr. Yang shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "Coupled with the fact that my family is urging me to get married, there is no point in continuing to stay there except for spending time in the laboratory, so I thought it would be better to come back and forget it." ”

The big pit of biochemical ring materials is full of tears.

Outsiders only look at the darkness from the outside in, and only those who jump into this pit know how deep this pit is.

Not to mention that materials science is the three pillars of modern science and technology, the 21st century is still the century of biology.

However, many people have studied baldness, and they have not become stronger.

Lu Zhou thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Are you interested in taking classes?" ”

Yang Xu: "I have considered a part-time teaching position at Jinling University, but I heard that it is not easy to apply for a teaching position at Jinling University, maybe when the job is stable, I will find a job as a lecturer at Jinling University of Technology." ”

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "What Jinling Institute of Technology, if you plan to be a lecturer at Jinda, maybe I can help." ”

Yang Xu's eyes lit up: "Really? Thank you so much! ”

A job as a lecturer, counting the benefits of the year-end bonus and provident fund, has an income of 100,000 yuan a year. Moreover, there is no conflict between research work and teaching, and you can also enjoy the academic resources of the university.

If you can become a lecturer at Jinling University, of course, you will have a better future than Jinling Institute of Technology.

Although this faculty position is not so easy to get, if Lu Zhou, an honorary professor, is willing to arrange it for him, it is still quite easy, but it is just a matter of a letter of recommendation.

As a disciplined boss, Lu Zhou is still very considerate of his researcher.
