The name of the neighborhood was Zhongshan International, the legendary "Jinling Wealthy District".
When Lu Zhou was in school, he vaguely remembered hearing someone say this, but he couldn't remember who said it.
The entire group of villas was located in the northeast of the national 4A scenic area. The entire neighborhood covered an area of 3,671 acres with a floor area ratio of only 0.168. There was also a golf course and a shopping mall nearby.
However, Lu Zhou didn't particularly care about this. He didn't play golf nor was he keen on shopping.
As long as the house itself was good and the environment was suitable, that was enough for him.
"This study room is pretty good."
Standing in this antique study room, Lu Zhou reached out and touched the bookshelf. He nodded with satisfaction.
Wang Peng walked next to him and touched the window. He then glanced at the two trees outside and spoke.
"The location of the two trees outside isn't very good."
Lu Zhou looked out the window and said, "Why do you say that? I think it's pretty good. "
Without those two trees, the entire front yard would look bare, ruining the overall aesthetic.
Wang Peng pointed in a direction and said, "That position is easy to form a blind spot with the courtyard wall. If I climb over there and walk along the wall, I don't even have to bend down. Do you believe that you won't be able to see me?"
Wang Yalan raised her eyebrows and said politely, "Sir, there is a professional security team in the neighborhood. Thieves can't get in at all. Your worry is unnecessary."
Wang Peng raised his eyebrows and said, "More professional than me?"
Wang Yalan paused for a second and didn't know how to respond.
What do you mean "more professional than me"?
Could it be that you're a professional thief?
Lu Zhou coughed and ended the conversation. He said, "Don't worry about the two trees. At most, I'll install a camera there."
To be honest, he wasn't a secretive person, nor was he involved in weapons research. He wouldn't leave important information at home. Even if it was right to be careful, there was no need to be so paranoid.
There might not be any scholars in the world who had a broader field of research than him, but there were scholars who were better than him. There were even a few scholars in Princeton. It was fine to listen to some groundless conspiracy theories, but there was something wrong with one's brain if one really believed them.
As for the future?
Future matters could be dealt with in the future. At the very least, worrying about this now was purely unnecessary.
After the ownership of the house was transferred, he planned to install a surveillance system in the house, get a few drones, and leave the security to Xiao Ai.
Even if the two trees were there, he didn't believe that a human could climb over them.
Wang Peng made a helpless expression.
"I'm just suggesting … Of course, the decision is yours."
After leaving the window, Lu Zhou looked around the study again. "I quite like this house. I'll take this one."
…
While Lu Zhou was looking at a house, Hou Jinli, who had recently joined the Jin Ling Institute for Advanced Study, was also looking at a house … or rather, a dormitory.
After leaving the University of Science and Technology of China, he didn't expect to live on the Jin Ling University campus. Hou Jinli looked at the brand new staff dormitory and carried his suitcase. He felt quite emotional.
However, this doesn't seem bad?
It's not just not bad …
He thought about the research institute's commitment to housing in the staff community and couldn't help but feel a little excited. The average price of housing nearby was more than 30,000 yuan. As long as one worked for a year, one could move in. After eight years, one could move in. Such generous conditions were quite rare among domestic research institutes.
Especially for materials.
Of course, what made him even more excited was that starting from tomorrow, he would be a member of the Nobel Prize winner's laboratory.
Even if he didn't have money, there would still be a bunch of people willing to work for him.
Once he published a few articles, his net worth would be completely different.
Hou Jinli spent half a day cleaning up his new house. He then spent his first night in the Jin Ling University staff dormitory.
Because of this, he finally settled down.
The next day, on his first official day of work, Hou Jinli took a taxi to the entrance of the Institute for Advanced Study. He then went all the way to the Institute of Computational Materials.
From the main entrance of the research institute to the research institute building, Lu Zhou passed through two security checkpoints. Both times, it was through facial recognition.
The research institute didn't give the newcomers a buffer period to familiarize themselves with the environment. Ever since they reported yesterday, everyone had been assigned specific tasks.
However, in fact, he didn't need this buffer period. Before he came here, he was already engaged in similar work, and his research direction was carbon nanomaterials.
For him, it was like he was doing experiments in a different place.
The only thing he needed to familiarize himself with was the placement of the reagents and instruments.
After confirming today's experimental task, Hou Jinli put on an anti-static white coat. He weighed 10g 100 mesh graphite powder and mixed it with sodium nitrate solids in a 2: 1 ratio.
Suddenly, Yu Junda, who was also doing his internship, walked into the laboratory.
"You're making the SG-1 sample today?"
Hou Jinli nodded and said, "Yeah, we don't have enough samples. Are you familiar with the Hummers method?"
"I've done it a few times."
"Okay then, come and help me."
Normally speaking, in addition to self-preparation, the drugs and reagents needed for experiments could also be purchased from other research institutes or companies.
However, the SG-1 material was a new technology announced at the MRS conference. Even though the related papers and experiment reports could be found in many databases, there weren't many laboratories that had the ability to produce it.
Every step from the preparation of graphene oxide was critical.
For example, the Hummers method used by Qian Zhongming was divided into three reaction stages: low temperature, medium temperature, and high temperature.
When the potassium permanganate was added, the reaction temperature was around 20 degrees Celsius. It was stirred for about half an hour.
Then, the temperature was raised to 35 degrees Celsius. It was stirred for another half an hour.
Then, the reactants were poured into a certain amount of deionized water, which turned the solution bright yellow. It was then heated and stirred in a 98 degree water bath for half an hour. Finally, it was filtered and washed with acid, then it was dried.
If everything went well, the sample should be light reddish-brown.
If everything didn't go well, it was possible to get anything.
Most of the time, a researcher's ability to experiment was tested by these details.
If one didn't pay attention to these details, even if they had the same experiment report, they might end up with two completely different results.
In other words, if one could grasp these details, even if one couldn't become an excellent researcher, one could still become an excellent researcher.
For Hou Jinli, these operations weren't difficult at all.
He had been a researcher at the University of Science and Technology of China for a year, and he had done similar experiments countless times. The entire process was smooth and smooth. Yu Junda, who was watching from the side, was stunned.
Even though he was also a researcher at a university, unfortunately, he was the one responsible for writing the thesis …
After completing the graphene oxide preparation, Hou Jinli didn't take it lightly at all.
Next, he had to follow the method in the experiment report and modify the graphene oxide through N-type doping and other methods.
It could be said that these next steps were the key to success.
Unfortunately, although the experiment report was written very clearly, and he was also very serious about the operation of the experiment report, things did not develop as smoothly as he imagined.
In the end, what appeared in front of the two was a cloud of black powder.
Yu Junda realized that the experiment had failed, and he had an awkward expression on his face.
"… Can this thing be salvaged?"
Hou Jinli also had an awkward expression on his face as he said, "Probably not."
The experiment itself had a success rate, so one mistake wasn't a big deal.
However, his morning of hard work was completely wasted …
Hou Jinli sighed and put the sample into a small plastic bag.
On the way to the waste bin, he casually pinched the black sample.
He originally thought that this thing would turn into dust, but the irregularly shaped particles didn't break.
Hou Jinli noticed this unusual thing and stopped walking. He looked at the small plastic bag in his hand and frowned.
This thing looks like …
