Contrary to his expectations, Zhou Chengfu quietly waited for a week, and he didn't hear anything from the STAR project.
He didn't hear about any new experiment arrangements, nor did he see Lu Zhou publicly respond to his scientific review article.
It was like …
It was as if she had completely ignored him.
Zhou Chengfu didn't like the feeling of punching the air.
Originally, he thought that after reading this article, even if Lu Zhou didn't retort, he would immediately start the next controllable nuclear fusion experiment to prove himself.
Regardless of which option Lu Zhou chose, it would be more beneficial for him.
He wouldn't lose to the former, and he would at least be able to figure out the details of the STAR machine.
After all, he didn't know what was going on with the STAR machine. He didn't even know if it "only ran for one second" or "only ran for one second".
Even though the WEGA machine's condition wasn't optimistic, that was only a guess based on the German's 500 million euro offer. He didn't dare to be too harsh with his words. At least, he had to be careful with his wording.
"Say, how come this kid hasn't done anything at all?" Zhou Chengfu was sitting in his office. He flipped through the latest issue of the [Nuclear Industry News] and spoke as if he was talking to himself.
Jia Liang was also confused. Logically speaking, there was no reason for Lu Zhou to endure.
He rolled his eyes and pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Don't tell me … they actually bought a piece of trash?"
Zhou Chengfu thought for a bit and said, "We can't rule out this possibility. After all, the WEGA machine has been shut down since 2013. Anything can happen in the past six years."
Ever since the Wendelstein 7-X project was launched, WEGA seemed to have been forgotten and faded out of the industry. Other than seeing WEGA's name on the list of devices, there was almost no news about it.
After all, controllable nuclear fusion wasn't a popular research direction. Most of the key research revolved around the few active fusion devices. No one would stare at a device that couldn't produce any research results.
If he didn't publish a thesis, no one would know what was going on with this device.
Zhou Chengfu suspected from the beginning that the equipment was defective when it was shipped back. Otherwise, there was no reason why the Germans would agree to sell the WEGA to Lu Zhou so easily.
After all, from an industry insider's point of view, the price of 500 million euros was honestly a bit cheap …
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Chengfu said.
"Let's observe for a few more days."
In any case, he would wait until the end of the month to see.
If he really spent 4 billion yuan to buy a piece of scrap metal, that would be interesting …
…
Just when Zhou Chengfu was thinking about how many cards he could play, Jinling, which was thousands of kilometers away, had a clear sky.
On this beautiful day, the faculty sports jointly organized by Jin Ling University and the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study finally met all the faculty members.
In addition to traditional track and field events such as running, hurdling, high jump, long jump, and relay running, there were also ball games such as ping-pong, soccer, and basketball. There were also fun events such as ping-pong relays and triathlons that were specially designed to cultivate teamwork.
At the opening ceremony, the contestants raised the national flag, walked in a square formation, and shouted the slogan of swearing the spirit of sportsmanship. Then, with the announcement of the opening speech by the principal, the sporting event officially kicked off.
"Old Tang, can you do it?"
Professor Lu Fangping was warming up at the starting line of the 100m race. He had put on some weight over the years, and he looked at Professor Tang Zhiwei next to him and said in a joking tone.
Hearing his old friend's teasing, Old Tang chuckled and said nonchalantly, "You don't have to worry about whether I can do it or not. You should be careful, don't sprain your waist."
Old Lu: "I'm not talking about you, your posture is wrong. You don't even warm up?"
Old Tang: "It's just two steps, how the heck am I supposed to warm up?"
Old Lu: "Oh, if you fall, don't blame me for not reminding you."
At this time, the referee standing next to the track raised the starting gun. The two of them stopped bickering and stared at the track in front of them, intending to show their true abilities.
"Everyone, in position —"
"Ready —"
"Run!"
With the sound of a gunshot, several professors dashed out like rabbits.
However, two seconds later, they made a fool of themselves.
First, Old Tang's shoe flew out, and it landed five or six meters away. Old Lu, who was following behind, saw Old Tang's shoe fly out, and he almost choked on his own laughter. He stumbled and fell to the ground.
Obviously, a professional couldn't be judged by one's posture.
Fortunately, the track was made of soft plastic. It was painful, but not serious. With his beer belly, Professor Lu got up with the encouragement of the people on both sides of the track.
The teachers and students standing on both sides of the track cheered loudly. However, no matter how much they cheered, Professor Lu would definitely finish last.
However, in the spirit of persevering to the end, the two old professors still limped and chased each other for the rest of the journey. They won applause from the surrounding students and professors.
On the other side of the gymnasium, two groups of people were fighting fiercely on the basketball court, exchanging offense and defense.
The competition was between the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study and the chemistry department of Jin Ling University.
Compared to the track and field events outside, ball games were obviously more enjoyable to watch.
It was obvious that there were more spectators around the basketball court than in the stadium.
Of course, it could also be because of Lu Zhou's presence on the court.
It was unknown which professor leaked this information in class, but in the end, the entire mathematics, chemistry, and physics departments knew that God Lu, who had won the Fields Medal and Nobel Prize, was also participating in this sports meet. The number of onlookers increased by an order of magnitude.
However, Lu Zhou didn't pay attention to the crowd. Instead, he focused on the game on the court.
He had been busy with research for the past six months, and he hadn't had this much fun in a while.
As for how many goals he scored …
That kind of trivial stuff wasn't important at all.
Playing basketball obviously meant having fun.
Everyone was just a rookie anyway.
Moreover, he knew in his heart that the reason so many people were watching him play basketball and cheering him on from the sidelines of the basketball court was definitely not because of how good his skills were or how elegant he was.
As for why?
Was there a need to ask?
Without a doubt, it was because of his handsomeness …
Standing on the edge of the basketball court, a few undergraduate students from the chemistry department were watching the game while bragging to each other.
"Our new computational materials lecturer always shows a photo of him and the Nobel Prize laureate whenever he talks about the theoretical model of the electrochemical interface structure. Most importantly, he's in the background, so only half of his face can be seen. I suspect that half of his face was photoshopped. "
"That's nothing. The one who led us to the experiment would always ridicule us for being a bunch of noobs in every class. Then, he would brag about how God Lu's comprehension ability was and how awesome he was when he was his assistant in the laboratory."
"That's Professor Lee?"
"What else?"
"He just wants to show off that the Nobel Prize laureate was his assistant."
"Hey, what's the point? These professors are always bragging to us undergraduates. "
Suddenly, a discordant voice came from behind them.
"Oh, what are you guys talking about?"
The students turned around and saw Lee Yong-eun smiling at them with his hands behind his back.
