Chapter 234: A Warm Invitation
At six o'clock in the morning, Feng Jinhui, who had just finished breakfast, came to the laboratory, pushed open the door, and found Lin Ziqi using the spectrometer.
"It's okay, Comrade Xiaolin, you came earlier than me." Feng Jinhui said as he made himself a cup of coffee.
"Good morning, Mr. Feng." Lin Ziqi, who was measuring the single-layer graphene electrons, turned around and said hello.
"Are you doing the project that Wu Bin left you?" Feng Jinhui asked with a smile.
"Well, I was expecting to be able to sort out the literature to be cited before he returned home, but it seems that I was too naΓ―ve." Lin Ziqi sighed helplessly.
Feng Jinhui took a sip of coffee and asked with some surprise: "What's the matter, that kid still gave you a time limit?" β
"No, no." Lin Ziqi hurriedly waved her hand, "It's just ...... I don't want to be left too far behind. β
Feng Jinhui was stunned for a moment after hearing this, shook his head with a smile, and whispered with emotion: "Youth~"
β¦β¦
At the same time, in the United States on the other side of the world, it was half past two in the afternoon, and in an elegant Western restaurant, Wu Bin was cutting steak with Professor Brad, who he had been friends with for a long time.
Professor Brad looks to be about 35 years old, and it is impossible for him to have any hair left, and there is still a little bit of his temples left, which can be regarded as the last stubbornness.
Skillfully cutting off a piece of steak and putting it in his mouth, Brad looked at Wu Bin, who was a little dazed, and asked, "Don't you like to eat steak?" β
"Oh no, I like it." Wu Bin shook his head, and poked a piece of steak that had been cut with great difficulty into his mouth.
"Is it still too pretending to be B......
Feeling the bloodshot taste in his mouth, Wu Bin regretted listening to Professor Brad's sentence when he ordered, "I recommend medium rare, medium rare is the real steak!" β
Looking at Wu Bin's slightly distorted expression, Professor Brad laughed, "Eat two more bites, and you will find his delicious taste after getting used to it." β
Wu Bin nodded with a wry smile and took a sip of Coke to slow down the taste in his mouth.
Professor Brad laughed again after reading it, then picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and said to Wu Bin: "Judging from your last paper, you seem to be mining new properties of two-dimensional materials?" β
The polite words had already been said when the two first met, so Professor Brad went straight to the "main course" at this time.
Since the discovery of graphene, two-dimensional materials have entered the field of vision of scientists.
Today, more than a dozen two-dimensional materials with very different properties, including insulators, semiconductors, and metals, have been discovered.
Wu Bin nodded after listening: "It's an accidental discovery, I've included it in my next topic, if the experiment is successful, it should be able to provide a new ideal system for studying two-dimensional cruising magnetism." β
Professor Brad smiled slightly, raised his goblet and took a sip of red wine: "I suggest you try to use optical means to detect." β
"Optics?" Wu Bin suddenly stopped the knife and fork in his hand, "Optics!" β
After several experimental possibilities flashed through his mind, Wu Bin looked at Professor Brad in surprise and said, "It seems that you have indeed read all the three papers I have recently posted, which is my honor." β
In fact, Wu Bin just wrote about the discovery of new magnetic two-dimensional materials, and he didn't expect Professor Brad to give such a constructive significance, which shows that he should be very sure of his ideas.
With the emergence of various ideas, Wu Bin couldn't wait to fly back to HKUST directly, and he didn't want to receive the award!
Seeing Wu Bin's restless appearance, Professor Brad showed a smug smile on his face, and then calmly cut the steak, and said to Wu Bin with a smile: "If you are very urgent, you can go to my laboratory to complete it, rest assured, I lent you the laboratory out of academic friendship, and you don't even need to add my name to your paper." β
"How can this work? If this path does go through, Professor Brad, you are the one who guided me to a crucial step, I will ......"
"Alright, alright." Professor Brad pressed his hand, "I'll wait until this is successful, do you want to go to my lab now?" I can ask my assistant to book a ticket right away. β
"Of ......" At the moment when Wu Bin wanted to agree, his brain calmed down, and finally he took a deep breath and said: "Although I thank you very much for your proposal, professor, this experiment can't be completed for a while, I'd better go back to China and do it again, of course, I will report the progress to you from time to time." β
Seeing that the "fish" was about to bite the hook, but suddenly turned around and wanted to swim away, how could Professor Brad agree!
"I promise that my lab has better equipment, and that I can propose the use of optical means to detect nature, and I have been studying this area for some time, so I can give you more mature advice."
Although Wu Bin was very moved after hearing this, he finally shook his head: "I really want to go to your laboratory to have a look, but after all, I only came to the United States to participate in the competition this time, and I just took a week off from school." β
"OH ~ dear Wu." Brad spread his hands very exaggeratedly, "It's no problem to come directly to me to study for a direct doctorate at your level, do you still need to consider such a thing as taking a leave of absence from college!?" β
"Of course, I'm a student by profession, and the visa is also a problem, right?"
"You don't have to worry about visas, you can stay as long as you want, I still have the ability."
"Socio-social ......"
Seeing Professor Brad invite himself so sincerely, Wu Bin was really a little shaken, although this invitation was too unexpected, but it did make him very tempted.
And Professor Brad saw that Wu Bin was still hesitating, so he immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
"Bring the papers."
After saying this to the person on the other end of the phone, Brad turned off his phone, continued to look at Wu Bin with a smile, and began to introduce what cutting-edge equipment his laboratory has.
After about five minutes, a blonde woman in a pink baggy hoodie walked up to the table between two, after all, a blue document was handed to Professor Brad and said, "Professor, you want the document." β
"Thank you." Professor Brad nodded at her, and then introduced to Wu Bin; "Her name is Patricia, and she's my student."
Wu Bin nodded at her and said, "Hello." β
Then Professor Brad introduced Wu Bin to Patricia and said, "He is that Wu Bin, aren't you not very curious about his research field, now you can ask him directly." β
Hearing the name Wu Bin, Patricia's eyes, who were originally just nodding and smiling at Wu Bin's formula, lit up suddenly, "It turns out that you are a master of achieving high-quality controllable 1-3 layers of Pentaphenyl epitaxial films!" β
