Chapter 177: A bit informative
In total, the interview lasted only twenty minutes.
Leaving the café, Lu Zhou walked to the car at the door, opened the co-pilot's door and sat down.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Greer, who was napping with the air conditioner, raised his eyelids, yawned and asked casually.
"It's over?"
While fastening his seat belt, Lu Zhou replied: "It's over." ”
During the interview, Professor Grell did not stay in the café, but after the interview began, he returned to the car early and waited, as if he did not want to stay there for a quarter of an hour.
Out of curiosity, Lu Zhou asked, "You and that Lady Belinda ......"
"We've been together before...... It didn't take long," said Professor Grell in a nonchalant tone, starting the car, "my ex-girlfriend." ”
Lu Zhou glanced at him in surprise.
Holding the grass, I can't see it.
That Ms. Belina, no matter how you look at it, is only in her twenties.
Although it cannot be ruled out that she wore makeup, this ......
Glancing at Lu Zhou, as if seeing through what he was thinking, Professor Greer, who was holding the steering wheel, complained dissatisfiedly: "I said, don't think I'm so old, I'm only forty years old this year, and I can even participate in the Fields Medal!" ”
Lu Zhou: "...... But the next award is 18 years old, and you'll be 43 years old. ”
"I said it was just a hypothesis, and besides, I wasn't in math," Professor Grell said, coughing dryly, "Speaking of which, Lu." I heard your friend Yan say that you are twenty years old, but you are still single. When I was your age, I had already had two girlfriends. Isn't there anything else that interests you other than math? ”
Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly: "How come." ”
Smelling the gossip, Professor Greer's eyebrows raised, and he asked with interest, "For example?" ”
Lu Zhou: "Isn't there still physics?" ”
Greer: "......"
……
After returning to the hotel, Lu Zhou began to pack his luggage.
Before he knew it, he had been in Europe for almost three months.
When he came, there were only a few pairs of clothes and pants in the suitcase, and when he went back, he was stuffed to the brim, and I don't know if the customs would make it difficult for him at that time.
In any case, the trip to Europe has finally come to a successful conclusion.
He can't wait to fly back to China immediately, and then take advantage of this European momentum to receive the mission reward and start the next mission.
If nothing else, this evaluation should be able to get an S+, right?
In this case, the next task should be a bonus mission.
As for other possibilities, Lu Zhou didn't want to think about it.
If this is not "S+", he does not know what it means to "witness history".
Just as Lu Zhou laboriously stuffed the milk powder he bought for Xiaotong into his suitcase, the phone on the bedside table rang.
Reaching for the phone, he asked casually.
"Hello?"
"It's me."
Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Lu Zhou was stunned.
Frowning slightly, he asked suspiciously.
"Are you ......?"
There was a violent cough on the other end of the line, as if he had choked.
After a while, the old man seemed to relent, and continued in a somewhat resentful voice.
"Frank Wilzek! We only met it a month ago! ”
Hold the grass?!
As soon as he heard this name, Lu Zhou was immediately surprised.
It turned out to be this big guy?
However, it's been a month since this meeting ended, and this big guy hasn't returned to the United States yet?
"I'm sorry, I didn't hear it......" Lu Zhou coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”
Frank didn't care, and slowly asked, "Are you free now?" ”
Lu Zhou: "Of course. ”
"Come to my office, I have something to tell you."
The old man didn't explain what was going on with him on the phone, so he hung up the phone.
Thinking that the plane was tomorrow night anyway, and the rest of the day was very free, Lu Zhou went to the old man's office with doubts.
After the meeting, Frank Wilzek made a gesture of please, motioned for him to sit down casually, and then asked his assistant to come over and make two cups of coffee.
Looking at the mist on the coffee cup, the old man spoke slowly.
"The 750GeV particle may herald a new physics, and if it is true, it would be worth even more than the Nobel Prize. Any theoretical physicist would be interested, and I am no exception. ”
Regardless of whether it was an exception or not, Lu Zhou, who knew that most of the awards had nothing to do with him, did not speak, but quietly waited for the old man to continue.
After a pause, Frank continued.
"I am very optimistic about your talent in the field of mathematical physics, if you are interested, you can join my project and work with me to refine the theory of this 'puzzle'."
In the past month, almost the entire theoretical physics community has been betting on this piece of the puzzle, but so far, nothing particularly valuable has emerged.
There's still a lot to dig into.
When CERN's Hadron Collider further reveals the data contained in the 750 GeV signal, it may be possible to get a Nobel Prize.
Although Frank himself has won the Nobel Prize once, the Nobel Prize does not stipulate that a person can only win it once, but there are very few people who have won it twice in history, after all, it is really difficult to surpass yourself at the top.
If this discovery is startling enough, it may be possible......
This kind of opportunity to leave a name in history is rare, and no one wants to miss it.
Lu Zhou asked suspiciously, "Complete the last puzzle...... Do you mean, a theoretical explanation for this unknown particle? ”
"Yes," Frank nodded, continuing, "in fact, with the exception of my role as a CERN Distinguished Fellow, I primarily work at MIT's Center for Theoretical Physics. By the way, are you interested in pursuing a PhD at MIT? ”
Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that this old gentleman would throw this olive branch to himself.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in the physics community, is still quite awesome. What's more, it was an invitation made by the Nobel laureate himself.
If it weren't for the fact that Jinling University and Princeton had already formulated a talent training plan for themselves, Lu Zhou might have nodded.
No way, people still have to have a bit of a contract spirit.
Some pigeons, released too offended, it's better to take it easy.
Lu Zhou shook his head: "Thank you for the invitation, but I'm really sorry...... I've promised Princeton that I'm going there for a Ph.D. degree. ”
"Princeton...... For you math people, it's really more attractive than MIT. Frank smiled, unconcerned, and continued, "But even if you've chosen Princeton, my advice still works. After all, in this day and age, many things can be exchanged through the Internet, and it doesn't necessarily have to be discussed face-to-face, so you can consider my invitation again......"
After a pause, Frank continued.
"If you're interested in the Nobel Prize."
Lu Zhou: "......?!" ”
This sentence is a bit informative.
So much so that he forgot to speak.
