[God Lu is nutty!]
[I thought I would be able to touch God Lu's trophy once I got into university, but now I don't even know what his trophy is. (crying) (crying)]
[It doesn't matter if you understand it, the scientific research of a god is completely different from that of an ordinary person …]
[I, who was staying up late to read foreign literature, suddenly burst into tears (tears) (tears)]
[I know this guy, I used to work with him in a silicone model factory. Our job was simple, I was in charge of the head, and he was in charge of the B. After that, he left. Because he was too fast, all the B's in the factory were installed by him alone!]
[Hey, I want to … (shy)]
[I have an immature suggestion for your bold idea. (dog)]

The comments in the comment section were like a field of chives, rising delightfully.
Lu Zhou sat in a hotel restaurant and ate his breakfast while playing on his phone. He looked at the "blessings" from his fans and felt like his breakfast was even more delicious.
At this moment, he suddenly received a call on his cell phone.
Lu Zhou picked up the phone and placed it next to his ear. Principal Xu's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What do you think, do you have any hope of winning the Nobel Prize?"
When Lu Zhou heard this, he nearly choked.
"Um … How would I know?"
Even Einstein didn't immediately win the Nobel Prize after explaining the photoelectric effect.
The more novel a theory was, the more time was needed to verify its importance and value. After all, not everything was as obvious as gravitational waves and the Higgs boson.
Principal Xu realized that he had asked a stupid question, so he smiled awkwardly.
"Um … I don't know much about chemistry, but the professors in the chemistry department all spoke highly of your theoretical model. They said that your theory laid the foundation for computational chemistry to study the physical and chemical properties of electrochemical interfaces. Several academicians agreed that your research results are worthy of a Nobel Prize. "
What the f * ck is not worthy of a Nobel Prize?
Lu Zhou said in a low-key manner, "… That's too optimistic."
"Haha, no matter how optimistic it is, congratulations on winning the Hoffman Medal!" Principal Xu laughed. After pausing for a second, he said in a serious tone, "Also, I have one thing to ask you. What do you think about computational chemistry?"
Lu Zhou was slightly taken aback. He thought about Principal Xu's question for a few seconds before replying.
"Personally, I think this is a very good direction. In terms of efficiency, it can reduce the workload, and in terms of cost, it can save resources. And thanks to the breakthroughs in computer technology, many theories that were originally limited by computing power and couldn't be further developed now have practical significance. I think the future of chemistry will be like the current physics. From a pure experimental discipline, it will become a discipline that relies on experiments, formal theories, and calculations. "
In fact, this was not entirely Lu Zhou's opinion. In the announcement of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, he expressed his expectations for the future of computational chemistry.
However, there was often a certain distance between ideal and reality. Until now, computational methods in the field of chemistry had not received enough attention.
However, Lu Zhou felt that this day would come. It was only a matter of time.
After hearing Lu Zhou's words, Principal Xu had a smile on his face.
"I think so too."
He was a computer scientist, and he was an academician of the Information Technology Department of the Academy of Sciences. He had always attached great importance to the development of computer science at Jin Ling University.
Now that the international theoretical chemistry community had generally recognized Lu Zhou's theoretical model, the domestic controversy had gradually settled. Especially since the success of the HCS-2 material illuminated the broad future of computational materials. This also gave him the idea of vigorously developing computational chemistry.
In fact, Jin Ling University had a Institute of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry, which mainly did research in the field of theoretical chemistry. However, this research institute did not receive much attention, especially because it lacked the most critical equipment.
Principal Xu paused for a second and said, "We plan on building a supercomputer center in the field of computational chemistry near the new Jin Ling University campus. What do you think?"
Lu Zhou slightly paused for a second.
"I think it's fine …"
However, did the University of Jin Ling have that much money in their research funding?
Even if Jin Ling University wasn't the "top 10" in the industry, the cost of building a supercomputer center was definitely not a small amount.
After hearing Lu Zhou's answer, Principal Xu smiled embarrassedly and immediately said, "Then, can you please write a letter for us?"
Lu Zhou: "Write a letter?"
Principal Xu: "Yeah, just talk about the application of computational chemistry in the letter … After all, Jin Ling University can't build a supercomputer on its own. We still need the support of the country."
Lu Zhou suddenly realized what was going on.
It turns out that they're here to borrow my help.
"Oh, that's it? Okay then." Even though Lu Zhou didn't know if his letter would work, he still readily agreed. He said, "I'll write a letter to you in a week."
Principal Xu smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
If Jin Ling University planned on building a supercomputer dedicated to computational chemistry, it would definitely be helpful for Lu Zhou's Institute of Computational Materials. With his relationship with Jin Ling University, it wouldn't be a problem for them to borrow each other's equipment.
Therefore, if Lu Zhou helped Jin Ling University, it would be the same as helping himself.
After eating breakfast, Lu Zhou went back to his room, changed his clothes, and left.
At yesterday's banquet, Humboldt University's president, Hendrik Olberts, invited him to give a lecture on science to Humboldt University students.
However, even though it was a lecture for undergraduate students, when the lecture was about to begin, a few Humboldt University professors walked in and sat in the back row of the lecture hall.
They were engineering professors, so their fields of expertise were different from Lu Zhou's. However, this didn't affect anything. They didn't expect Lu Zhou to teach any new theories. They just wanted to learn from Princeton's teaching experience.
Because of this, in addition to sitting in the lecture hall, the professors also had thick lesson plans in their hands. They were ready to take notes.
Lu Zhou looked at the packed lecture hall. He stood in front of the podium and tested the microphone. After he confirmed that the equipment was working, he looked at the clock on the wall.
When he saw that it was almost time, he cleared his throat and began his lecture.
Even though this was a last-minute lecture, Lu Zhou didn't do much preparation. However, for Lu Zhou, this wasn't difficult at all.
The lecture itself was a popular science lecture, so it didn't involve too difficult of a topic.
He used common language to explain the connections between mathematics, chemistry, and physics, as well as the problems he encountered in his research work. This was the core of his lecture.
Lu Zhou didn't even use a PowerPoint presentation. He only used a chalk on the blackboard and began to speak vividly.
However, there was always a gap between ideals and reality.
The first half an hour was fine, but in the last half an hour, in order to make his theory more convincing and obvious, Lu Zhou couldn't help but write a few lines of formulas on the blackboard.
Then, he couldn't stop.
It didn't take long before the entire blackboard was filled with formulas.
The students sitting in the lecture hall were mesmerized by the first half an hour, but they were muddled by the second half of the lecture.
"… That's the basic situation."
Lu Zhou threw the chalk on the podium and patted the dust off his hands as he spoke with a smile.
He then smiled and said, "This is the end of my lecture, do you guys understand?"
All of the students, including the professors in the back row, looked at him in silence. No one spoke.
Lu Zhou's smile gradually disappeared from his face.
"…"
