Lu Zhou plugged the USB into the computer. Just like he expected, a huge amount of data was sent into the computer's hard drive at a speed that exceeded the laptop's read and write limit.
The built-in fan was humming and the motherboard was burning hot. Lu Zhou calmly waited for around five minutes. When he heard the fan gradually calming down, he guessed that this thing was over.
Just like he expected, the USB that completed its mission turned into black dust and disappeared like a sand dune being blown away by the wind.
Lu Zhou looked at the empty USB port and was about to open the hard drive to see what the scanner gun found. However, when he touched the mouse, a series of dialog boxes popped up on the lower right corner of the desktop.
[Master! QAQ]
[Are you going to kill Xiao Ai? QAQ]
Lu Zhou looked at the dialog box that popped up on the screen. He paused for a second and typed: [What … What happened?]
Xiao Ai: [Look at the hard drive space! QAQ]
Without waiting for Lu Zhou to touch the mouse, Xiao Ai already did the work. The disk space turned red and appeared in front of him.
When Lu Zhou looked at the remaining space, he was shocked.
The f * ck?!
There's only 2TB of disk space left!
Is this the amount of data collected by the scanner gun?
Suddenly, Lu Zhou realized something more serious. He hurriedly typed and asked, [Wait a second, what about my other two disks?]
Xiao Ai: [In order to save my life, I merged the D and E drives into the C drive! QAQ]
Lu Zhou continued to type, [What about the data I saved on the hard drive?]
Xiao Ai: [I compressed it and transferred it to the C drive! QAQ]
That was close …
The data was all documents he collected and some unpublished research results on the Polignac's conjecture.
At the beginning of the year, he applied for the Polignac's conjecture. Half a year had passed, and he had done some research in his spare time. If this information was destroyed, it would be a huge loss.
However, if he had to choose between collecting information and Xiao Ai, he would still choose the latter.
Although the latter was a little retarded now and always gave him trouble, he believed that one day it would grow up and become a good helper.
Lu Zhou thought for a moment and typed: [… I understand. I will help you find a new home as soon as possible. By the way, can you not add QAQ at the end of your sentence in the future? It looks weird.]
Xiao Ai: [But Master, the gallery I collected is gone. I can't find any other emoticons! QAQ]
Lu Zhou: "…"
When he thought about how his precious information was almost destroyed because of those stupid emoticons, he was furious.
Originally, he had some sympathy in his heart, but now, there was only one thought left.
Serves you f * cking right!
Lu Zhou rudely closed the dialog box and found his precious information. He backed it up on his portable hard drive and opened the data collected by the scanner gun.
Originally, he thought that it would take a lot of time to figure out the data. He did not expect the convenience of technology to solve this problem for him.
After opening the exe file, an application interface that looked like a drawing tool appeared on his screen.
In the three-dimensional grid of the cube, there was a broken battery.
At first glance, it did not seem like much. It was just a three-dimensional model.
Lu Zhou held the mouse and tried to click on a certain location on the image.
Then, in an instant, everything changed.
From the composition of the material to the temperature parameters during the scan, all of the data was clearly reflected in the pop-up dialog box.
When Lu Zhou saw this, it was like he had discovered a new continent. He quickly selected the negative electrode of the battery.
Then, a look of surprise appeared on his face, as if he had discovered a treasure.
Lithium material!
His guess was right!
This thing really was a lithium battery!
He did not know what kind of lithium battery it was. He searched along the broken wall of the tube and did not find any traces of electrolyte.
He made a bold guess. Either this thing was "dark" enough to replace the electrolyte with a gas or some kind of solid material, or it was completely based on a new design concept.
However, none of this had anything to do with him.
Sooner or later, he would learn all of this technology. The first step he had to do was to sort out the technology that inhibited the growth of lithium dendrites in this battery.
If this was a fish, there was no doubt that this technology would be the most delicious part of the fish's belly.
Suddenly, Xiao Ai appeared again.
Xiao Ai: [Master, what is this?]
Lu Zhou smiled. He was in a good mood and did not want to care about what just happened. He typed: [Your new home will depend on this thing. Wait until I take this information to register a patent. You can choose any server that costs three million yuan!]
Xiao Ai: [Really? QAQ]
Lu Zhou: [Really!]
Forget about his new home, if this thing could really inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites, the patent fees alone would be enough for him to buy a few apartments in the city center.
Of course, people should have some goals. Of course, he couldn't use the patent fees to buy a house.
At the very least, he had to get himself a laboratory. In the future, when he was doing reverse engineering, he couldn't always rely on this scanner gun that would only appear once in a blue moon. Not to mention, he also needed to find a legal source for his technology.
However, when it came to registering a patent, it was just like solving a mathematical conjecture; it could not be rushed.
Even though he already knew what the material was, he still had to do it again in the laboratory to make up for the process.
After all, when the patent was registered, the information such as the equipment used, the source of the material, and the laboratory had to be labeled in the thesis. One of the essentials of science was that it could be repeated. The same experimental steps could be used to obtain the same results.
Speaking of which, where should I submit my thesis?
I just accepted an interview with Nature Weekly a few days ago. Maybe I should invest in Nature this time.
That 90% rejection rate was quite exciting just thinking about it.
…
Lu Zhou turned off his computer and changed his clothes. He went to the school gate for lunch and then went to Professor Lu's office.
When Professor Lu saw Lu Zhou at the door, he smiled and said, "Kid, you're finally back from Europe. I thought you were going to stay there and not come back."
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Of course not, my visa can't stay that long."
"Oh, that's hard to say. If you really want to stay there, forget about the visa, CERN can even help you with your nationality," joked Professor Lu.
Lu Zhou smiled and did not say anything.
Although the old academician was joking, he did not know how to respond.
Indeed, just as Academician Lu said, with his ability, it was too easy for him to stay there.
However, he had never thought about this before.
It was not because of any noble thoughts or feelings. It was because he simply liked the land under his feet. He was used to the living environment here, and he liked the people here.
Whether it was for academic conferences or studying abroad, he would definitely go, but he would eventually come back.
Professor Lu was just joking. After chatting for a bit, he quickly talked about the important matter.
"I'm relieved to see you come back safely. Next time, remember to call me when you land. If it wasn't for Yan Xinjue, I wouldn't even know you were back! I don't have anything else to say, but I have something to tell you. "
Professor Lu paused for a second before he continued.
"I'm going back to Beijing in two days. You can come with me. I have a friend who wants to see you, so I can bring you to see him."
Lu Zhou asked, "Is it Professor Gao?"
