A bright silver flight drew a white line in the blue sky, stretching to the edge of the clouds.

Carrying the future of China's controllable nuclear fusion industry, a delegation of about 30 people set off for the Max Planck Society. According to the cooperation agreement between the two parties, there they will receive simple training to make final preparations for taking over the EGA stellar simulator.

In the original plan, Lu Zhou was also going to go together.

However, at this moment, he did not set off immediately, but arranged the trip three days later.

Because at the same time as the experts from Huaguo departed, the experts sent from the Max Planck Society had already arrived at Jinling International Airport.

With a towering nose that seemed to reach the brim of his hat, the wrinkled Germanic engineer walked down the ramp of the plane with the suitcase he carried with him.

At this time, he squinted at the airport building not far away, as if in a casual tone, and said briefly to the colleague next to him.

"There's a lot of change here."

Walking next to him, the red-haired engineer, who looked slightly younger, raised an eyebrow.

"You've been here before?"

"Ten years ago," said the slightly aged engineer casually, flipping through his wallet and rubbing his index finger against the group photograph tucked inside, "If you live in Berlin, you may not change much in ten years, but you can see something different here every year." ”

"Berlin, you say? There are still changes. ”

"Oh?"

"Ever since our president put the hijabs in, we've seen something new in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung every day."

Hearing the young engineer's teasing, the old engineer smiled and shook his head.

"Just say this kind of thing in private, don't let people hear it."

"Of course I do." Looking at the pick-up group not far away, the young engineer paused for a moment, squinted his eyes and said, "...... Wires with a width of several thousand nanometers, do you really think they can do it? ”

It is not that China looks down on China's ability to innovate in science and technology, after all, in terms of scientific and technological innovation, Europe has not looked down on other people's capital from its weakness after the middle of the 20th century to the present.

However, scientific and technological innovation is one thing, and whether or not the technology can be moved out of the laboratory is another.

In fact, since the beginning of 14 years, graphene nanoribbon technology has been able to achieve dozens of nanometers of width in the laboratory, and now it can even make a "black technology" with a width of only seven carbon atoms in the laboratory, but this technology is still sealed in the laboratory.

Perhaps the biggest generation gap between industry and academia is here.

A century and a half ago, if a scientist had discovered a novel compound or a simple synthesis method for an important industrial raw material, he could have become rich overnight. But such examples are quite rare now.

More commonly, academia produces a seemingly beautiful result, but it takes decades or even decades for industry to digest it, and even proves to be useless.

Considering Lu Zhou's success in lithium anode materials, the Helmholtz Federation noticed this carbon-based superconducting material with unlimited potential from the beginning of the birth of SG-1 material, but when evaluating its industrialization potential, they finally abandoned this material due to various reasons such as cost and production difficulty.

However, now that someone had suddenly completed a task that seemed almost impossible to them, they were naturally surprised to learn the news.

After all, Huaguo, which has completed this work, has nano-level finishing technology......

"Judging by the samples they sent, they did."

"Unbelievable."

"Yes, unbelievable," the old engineer continued, after a pause, "aren't we here to figure this out?" ”

On the other side, at the entrance to the airport's VIP access.

Standing next to Lu Zhou, looking at the plane not far away, Yang Xu suddenly asked, "Actually, I've always wanted to ask, why are the people from the Helmholtz Federation here?" ”

Lu Zhou: "It's normal, you can't expect a group of plasma physics experts to be good at materials science. ”

Yang Xu laughed and teased: "Isn't there one here?" And he's also good at math. ”

Slightly stunned, Lu Zhou quickly reacted that Yang Xu was talking about himself, and then shook his head with a smile.

"It's completely different."

While they were talking, the German delegation had already stepped down the gangway.

And Lu Zhou, on the other hand, also went up in the direction of the gangway.

Walking in front of the group, the engineer, who looked a little older, took off his black hat and stretched out his calloused right hand to Lu Zhou.

"Hello, Professor Lu, I'm Rand Ulrich from the Helmholtz Centre for Materials and Energy Research in Berlin. Next to me is my colleague, Simson Eugene. ”

"Lu Zhou," shook hands vigorously with the Germanic engineer, and Lu Zhou looked at him with some surprise and smiled, "Do you know Chinese?" ”

"I used to work in Jinling for two years, and I may not be very standard, but I still know a little." The serious-looking old man grinned and said in a humorous tone.

"Really? But in my opinion, it's already very standard," he smiled kindly, and after letting go of his hand, Lu Zhou continued to introduce the three people next to him, "This is Yang Xu, director of the Institute of Materials Science of Jinling Advanced Research Institute, as well as Mr. Sun Chengwu, general manager of Baosheng Group, and Mr. Cao Kangwei, chief engineer. ”

"On behalf of the Baer Group, I welcome your arrival," Sun Chengwu said with a smile on his face after shaking his right hand holding Uliqi, "Our group has prepared a hotel for you, do you go to the hotel to put your luggage first, or do you have other arrangements?" ”

Ulich said, "It's okay to go to the hotel for a while, can you take us to the factory first?" ”

Sun Chengwu was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect these Germans to be so anxious, so he subconsciously glanced at Lu Zhou.

After seeing Lu Zhou nodding, Manager Sun immediately looked at Professor Ulic and said with a smile.

"Absolutely."

The German delegation was small, with only six people in total, but all of them were leading experts in the field of carbon nanomaterials at the Helmholtz Centre for Materials and Energy Research in Berlin. After the group got into the shuttle car, Manager Sun took the initiative to sit next to Lu Zhou and couldn't help asking.

"You say these Germans are in such a hurry?"

Hearing Manager Sun's question, Lu Zhou smiled and said.

"For example, when you were in school, if your table mate, who usually only had seven or eighty points on exams, suddenly scored 120 points on a recent test, what would you think?"

Yang Xu thought for a while: "Then it depends on how many points it is?" ”

"It doesn't matter how many points there are," Lu Zhou shook his head, "No matter how many points there are, you will definitely wonder how he did it, or whether there is any trick in it." ”

Manager Sun hesitated: "You mean, they suspect that we are fooling them?" ”

"This kind of cooperation is very important, and everyone will keep an eye on it," after a pause, Lu Zhou continued, "We just need to prove it to them." ”
