"I found that all your papers are inclined to graphene preparation, do you want to challenge the problem that is a headache for people all over the world?"

After Professor Brad agreed, Patricia immediately happily sat down on Wu Bin's side and began to ask.

"I didn't think about it so much, I was just interested in this topic." Wu Bin replied.

Patricia: "I've been involved in metal catalysis before, but there were always flaws in controlling the cooling rate, and no matter how many sets of experiments I did, I couldn't improve it, so it's been shelved now......"

"Metal catalysis?" Wu Bin nodded, "I have also studied before, do you use Ni or Cu for catalysts?" ”

Patricia: "Ni, isn't that the most common thing right now? ”

Wu Bin: "Actually, I'm trying to find a better catalyst, and I feel that it will bring new surprises. ”

"For example!?" Patricia's eyes lit up.

"Ahem......" Professor Brad coughed suddenly.

Patricia immediately shrank her neck, knowing that she had asked a question that she shouldn't have asked.

"Sorry, I seem to be a little too excited." Patricia said with some embarrassment.

"It's okay." Wu Bin waved his hand, "Previously, Sungkyunkwan University in South Korea prepared graphene with a size of 76.2 cm through the roll-to-roll CVD method, but the graphene needs to be transferred during the preparation process, which is easy to introduce a large number of defects, so I didn't continue to study further, but I found some new ideas in their paper, and I recommend you to read it too." ”

"Of course, I will!" As she spoke, Patricia took out her notebook and began to take notes, "I thought geniuses would be quirky, but I'm glad you're kinder than my grandmother." ”

"Poof......" Wu Bin almost squirted out the red wine he had just drunk after hearing this, and wiped his mouth a little before replying: "As long as it is an academic issue, I welcome others to discuss it with me at any time." ”

"That'...... What about non-academic issues? Patricia suddenly winked at Wu Bin.

Professor Brad, who was on the side, seemed very happy to see the two young people chatting hotly, and smiled and picked up a piece of baked potato and put it in his mouth.

"Of course, you're welcome." Wu Bin smiled and nodded.

After listening to Wu Bin's answer, Professor Brad felt that the time had come, so he put down his knife and fork and said: "Wu Bin, Patricia is also a member of my experimental team, and she is very talented in experiments, if you set up an experimental team, I believe she will be able to help you a lot." ”

Wu Bin: "It's my honor. ”

However, just as the corners of Professor Brad's mouth rose after listening, Wu Bin said another sentence to complete the words.

"If there is a chance in the future."

Professor Brad's expression froze, "Isn't this a good opportunity?" ”

On the other side, Patricia was also a little excited when she heard that she had the opportunity to cooperate with Wu Bin, "I know that you generally like independent research, but I will definitely try to help, I can do some basic work, and I will learn from you with an open mind." ”

"Well, I'm sure you can." Wu Bin nodded towards Patricia, "But I just told Professor Brad that I will return to China after participating in the competition." ”

Looking at the gazes of Wu Bin and Patricia at the same time, Professor Brad let out a long sigh, "Dear Wu, you are such a stubborn guy......"

Wu Bin: "I'm sorry, there are still a lot of things in China that I need to finish, but thank you again for your kindness and suggestions." ”

"If you really want to thank me, come to the University of California, this is a place that will not disappoint you." Professor Brad said, raising his goblet.

"It's going to be one of my choices." After Wu Bin finished speaking, he also raised his goblet and touched it with Professor Brad.

Although there is no time to go to the laboratory, two people who are full of materials science knowledge can collide with many sparks even if it is just a verbal discussion.

It wasn't until the waiter came to remind them that the table was closing, and the two finally finished talking.

"Is it so late?" Wu Bin took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and found that it was almost 10 o'clock.

Professor Brad drank the last bit of red wine in the glass and looked at Wu Bin with a smile: "I haven't talked so much for a long time, and sure enough, talking in person is still much more interesting than a dry email, and now I want to invite you to my lab more and more, do you really stop thinking about it?" I can offer you better terms than I promised you. ”

But before Wu Bin could speak, Professor Brad waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I don't want to be rejected by the same man several times a day like an abandoned resentful woman, let's talk about it today, I have to go back to sleep, I'm old, and my mental strength is far less than before." ”

Wu Bin: "I think you are very energetic, professor. ”

"It's no match for young people." Professor Brad said as he stood up and put on the coat that hung from his chair, and picked up a dark brown gentleman's hat and put it on his head.

"I'm going back to the hotel, how about you?" Professor Brad asked, looking at Patricia.

"Well, I'm going back a little later." Patricia replied immediately.

Brad smiled like an old driver after listening to the professor, then nodded at her and said, "Okay, then I'll go first." Then he waved at Wu Bin.

"Goodbye, Professor." Wu Bin also waved his hand at him.

Wu Bin was about to take a taxi back to the hotel after seeing Professor Brad go away, although taxis in the United States are expensive, but he didn't want to study the complicated public transportation routes because he was unfamiliar with the place.

"Where are you going next?" At this time, Patricia stood in front of Wu Bin and asked him.

Wu Bin: "Go back to the hotel." ”

"It's so boring, the nightlife has just begun~" Patricia shrugged.

"You're right, I'm going to go back to the hotel and digest what I talked about with Professor Brad today, and it's sure to be a fulfilling night."

“……”

Although Patricia was a little speechless, she looked at Wu Bin's excited expression but had some understanding.

In the afternoon, when Wu Bin and Professor Brad first started their academic discussion, she could occasionally interject a few sentences, but later the topic became more and more biased, and more and more theories were involved, until she could only obediently be an observer.

After listening to the whole academic discussion, her biggest feeling was that her peer was so knowledgeable that he was not at all proficient in materials science as she imagined.

Especially when the two talked about chord theory, she was completely listening to the book of heaven, but looking at Professor Brad's sometimes surprised and sometimes thinking expression, you can understand that this Wu Bin should have brought him many surprises.

"Want to go to the bar for a drink?" Patricia asked Wu Bin with a smile.
