After a long wait, when Lu Zhou checked his email one night, he received a reply from [Computational Materials Science]. The technical editor in charge of contacting him told him that his thesis had passed the peer review process and would be published in the latest issue of the journal.
At the same time, there was also a reply from the reviewer, Monchi G. Bawendi. However, it was only one word.
“interesting？ Interesting? Is it good or bad? Can't you give me an evaluation? "
If it's interesting, then it can be published? Isn't this a bit too casual?
When Lu Zhou looked at the reply, he shook his head.
With curiosity in his heart, he turned on his VPN and Googled [Mr. Bawendi]'s name.
In the end, when he didn't search, he was shocked.
F * ck me, he's a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology! A big name in the field of quantum dot technology and nanomaterials research! Winner of the Raymond and Beverly Sachs Prize!
It turned out to be another big shot.
I can't mess with him …
After messing with Xiao Ai for a while, Lu Zhou saw that it was getting late, so he closed his laptop and prepared to go to sleep.
Suddenly, Shi Shang, who was lying on his bed playing with his phone, suddenly spoke.
"I have a boyfriend."
The dorm went silent for a while.
Then, Liu Rui began to snore.
Lu Zhou was hesitating about whether or not he should help Shi Shang finish his act before he went to sleep. Suddenly, Huang Guangming, who was lying on the bed, suddenly made a sound.
"Who's in the class?"
Shi Shang: "F * ck off!"
MMP！
Everyone in the class is male!
Liu Rui, who was snoring on his bed, suddenly laughed like a pig and almost choked on his own snoring.
Okay, this kid was pretty good at pretending to be asleep. He almost fooled Lu Zhou. Unfortunately, he was too funny.
Huang Guangming coughed and said, "Ahem, I'm just asking … Brother Fei, which department is sister-in-law from?"
Shi Shang: "Foreign language department."
Huang Guangming said, "F * ck me, the freshman who gave you flowers at the Golden Autumn Song Festival? What a beast! "
Shi Shang rubbed his nose with his index finger and said with a pleased smile, "I look okay, right?"
"Sure, sure … Holy shit, it's a get-together! Dorm leader, we've been waiting for your promise since we were first year and second year. "Huang Guangming suddenly reacted and slapped his thigh.
Liu Rui stopped pretending to be asleep. He laid on the bed and echoed, "That's right, that's right."
Lu Zhou chuckled in his heart and didn't say anything.
Hehe, what a bunch of mouths.
When the time came, they would probably all be as pure as that.
He knew these animals too well!
"Let's wait until school starts next year. The exams are coming up soon. What's the point of having a get-together? It's just delaying ourselves and others. My Brother Shang has promised me that we'll have a social gathering within two weeks next year. If I lie to you, I'll be a dog. "Shi Shang waved his hand and said.
Liu Rui: "666!"
Huang Guangming, "Sure, sure. Brother Fei is generous, unlike Zhou. He didn't even say anything when he was single and didn't even help his brother."
When Lu Zhou heard this, he was not happy.
How can you accuse me like this?
Therefore, he immediately retorted.
"What do you mean single? Which eye of yours saw that I was no longer single? "
Shi Shang, "Shut up. Are you going to the get-together?"
Lu Zhou, "Of course I'm going! Why not? "
However, when Lu Zhou agreed, he regretted it in less than a second.
Eating with a group of strangers?
Singing karaoke after eating? Playing board games?
Just hearing it made him feel terrible.
How about …
Then what?
…
After all, computational materials science was an emerging discipline, and emerging meant it was unpopular.
Unlike the number theory thesis that caused a sensation in the Chinese academic community, this thesis on "The Effect of CNTs Materials on the Hydration Reaction of Portland Cement in the Early Age" did not cause any media sensation. There was not even any news related to it.
However, in contrast to the indifference of outsiders, this thesis received widespread attention from industry insiders.
As for the reason for this, it was not because of the "Effect of CNTs Materials on Portland Cement" itself. There were not as many people studying cement materials as one would think. What really prompted the industry insiders to ponder over this thesis was the mathematical method used by Lu Zhou in the thesis and the mathematical model established during the demonstration. This provided a reference for the emerging discipline of computational chemistry.
Because of this, Bawendi gave his thesis an "interesting" evaluation.
As the days passed by, the exam week was getting closer and closer. Dorm 201 could no longer hear Summoner's Canyon. Even the cuttlefish expert, Huang Guangming, picked up his dusty textbook and began to run to the library all day.
Lu Zhou had already absorbed the knowledge in the textbook, so he did not feel any pressure from the exam week.
He spent his time in the library as usual, either reading books, downloading some open courses from foreign universities, or reading some theses using translation tools. He found out that this learning method not only broadened his knowledge, but it also improved his English level. It was killing two birds with one stone.
As for Sundays, Lu Zhou still tutored Han Mengqi as usual. After thinking about many difficult problems, it was good to occasionally think about simple problems. Also, it was quite a sense of accomplishment to watch a poor elementary student become a genius student.
Also, under his tutelage, Han Mengqi's monthly test scores steadily improved. Mrs. Yang's salary went from 100 yuan per hour to 500 yuan per hour, which was 2,500 yuan per day …
However, these were not important.
Thinking back to the changes that happened to him in the past six months, Lu Zhou could not help but feel emotional.
Sure enough, knowledge is power.
He had not even left the university yet, and he already had a "100,000 yuan annual salary". Not to mention all the scholarships he received, his savings were over a million yuan. Although the full amount was definitely not enough to buy a house, it was definitely enough for the down payment.
On the other hand, although the experience points from the system had not arrived yet, Lu Zhou had already started to plan on how to spend the experience points.
The theses he downloaded from the internet, other than mathematics, there were also many in the fields of physics, chemistry, and materials science. On one hand, he wanted to expand his knowledge, and on the other hand, he wanted to understand the current hot research directions.
Liu Rui was probably stimulated by Lu Zhou's efforts, so he shamelessly came over and asked for a copy of Lu Zhou's downloaded theses.
Although Lu Zhou did not want to discourage this kid's enthusiasm for learning, he did not want this guy to misunderstand and think that he was the type of person who would chase someone for ten blocks just because they saw his notes. Therefore, Lu Zhou still gave him a copy.
In the end …
When Liu Rui opened the thesis, he was stunned.
He silently closed the PDF reader and pretended that nothing had happened. He took out his physics textbook and began to think about life in front of the draft paper.
