Just like that, the meeting ended.
After the meeting, a group of researchers left the conference room, leaving only Professor Lu in the room.
Li Changxia walked next to Sheng Xianfu and hesitated for a second. He then asked in a confused tone, "Professor Lu … What is he thinking?"
Sheng Xianfu: "… What do you mean?"
Li Changxia sighed and said, "We don't know when the results will come out. Our research will determine whether the demonstration reactor construction can proceed to the next stage. It's not a good time to take a break."
Also, the results in three days …
Even though he knew that Professor Lu was good at mathematics, this wasn't an isolated mathematics or physics problem.
No matter what, this speed was a little too exaggerated.
Sheng Xianfu thought for a second and said, "Maybe … He already has an idea?"
"An idea?" Li Changxia was stunned. He then frowned and said, "But he didn't say anything at the meeting? Is there a need to keep us guessing? "
"I don't know, but I believe in Professor Lu's intuition in mathematics. There aren't many mathematicians in the world that are more talented than him. I don't think he's trying to keep us guessing … "Sheng Xianfu smiled bitterly and said," Maybe he just thinks that even if he says it, we won't understand. "
Li Changxia: "…"
…
Sheng Xianfu's speculation was actually very accurate. The moment the inspiration appeared, Lu Zhou wanted to say what he was thinking. However, when he tried to abstract his inspiration into mathematical terms, he quickly gave up on the idea.
His past experience told him that even for a mathematics major, it wasn't easy to fully understand his calculations. For non-mathematics researchers, it was even more difficult to understand these things.
They had been working very hard.
Instead of giving them an unnecessary burden, it was better to solve this part of the work first before telling them what to do next.
After leaving the research institute and returning home, Lu Zhou didn't even have lunch. He went straight upstairs to his study room.
He spread the experimental data printed on A4 paper on the table. He took a pen and paper from the side and carefully re-examined the data on the paper. He then meticulously began to calculate.
Others might not be able to discover the value of this data, but he was different.
Just as he had judged earlier, their way of solving the problem was correct. They just lacked a method to fully exploit the value of the data.
Perhaps in the future, with the accumulation of several months or even several years, they would finally be able to find an opportunity to break through.
Just like other outstanding research results, the accumulation of quantitative changes in a large number of experiments finally achieved a qualitative breakthrough.
What Lu Zhou was doing now was just to make that day come faster.
As time passed, a stack of draft papers piled up beside him.
With the help of Xiao Ai, Lu Zhou calculated the undetermined engineering parameters one by one and finally completed the last step. He let out a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair.
Looking at the dark night outside the window, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
Next, he just had to provide the calculation results to the engineers at the STAR research institute and let them complete the final design.
"I thought it would take three days, I didn't expect it to be done in one day."
After Lu Zhou left his state of concentration, he began to feel hungry.
Speaking of which, he only ate one bowl of soup dumplings today.
Lu Zhou realized this and was about to go into the kitchen to make something to eat. Suddenly, his eyes fell on the liquid lithium neutron recovery system proposal on the corner of the table.
Lu Zhou's heart thumped and he spoke to himself.
"System, how many general points do I need to exchange for the entire liquid lithium neutron recovery system?"
He waited in silence for a while, but no one responded.
Lu Zhou realized that his method was wrong. He shook his head and began to focus on the proposal again.
Soon after, a translucent pop-up window appeared in his field of vision.
[Mathematics level 7, engineering level 4, energy science level 3 … Meets the minimum requirement.]
[Required general points: 50000]
Lu Zhou looked at the four zeros behind the five and had a helpless expression on his face.
He only had a total of 5,000 general points.
Just a subproject of the nuclear fusion project is worth 50,000 general points?
If I have a full set of technology, how many general points would that be …
As expected, even though the system gave him the opportunity to "refer to the answer", this shortcut wasn't easy to take.
Originally, he was hoping that the general points would save him time …
Lu Zhou shook his head and was about to give up on this time-saving option. However, he suddenly had an idea. He quickly opened the proposal and put it together with the previously calculated data.
Based on his previous experience, his design ideas, and the content of the proposal, the answer given by the system was the "optimal solution" based on his discipline level.
If Lu Zhou's previous speculation was correct, then the price given by the system for this optimal solution was based on the amount of time it would take for him to solve the problem.
Lu Zhou didn't know how long it would take for 50,000 general points to be converted into time.
Maybe it would take five years, maybe it would take fifty years.
However, one thing was clear. Right now, he didn't need the "optimal solution", nor did he need the entire liquid lithium neutron recovery system.
Many parts of this proposal had already been completed. He had also calculated the parameters that caused the STAR research institute to stagnate. Now, all he needed to do was implement these research results into engineering drawings. This kind of work could be done by professional engineers, and it would only take a bit of time at most.
Lu Zhou reorganized his thoughts and focused his attention on one of the pages. He called out the system again.
Soon after, the system made another evaluation of the problem he had just stated.
As expected, the general points requirement this time was much more realistic.
Of course, even so, this wasn't a small number …
[General points required: 4,000]
Lu Zhou looked at these general points and sighed.
"So it's still not cheap?"
Four thousand credits was probably the optimal design based on the parameters he had provided.
If the engineers from the China National Nuclear Corporation were to design it, they probably wouldn't be able to do this, at least not in the beginning.
However, this was fine.
At least for a while, he wouldn't have to worry about replacing the liquid lithium neutron recovery system anymore.
Not to mention, if his judgment was correct, the earlier he completed this mission, the higher the quality of the final product, and the higher the system mission reward.
Even though it was a little painful, this would save him at least a year of time.
After taking a deep breath, Lu Zhou's index finger passed through the translucent floating window. At the same time, he said silently in his heart.
"Confirm exchange!"
[General points balance: 5,475 → 1,475]
…
Outside the mansion.
Yan Yan looked at her phone and looked at the yard with a worried expression.
"He hasn't come out in three days."
Wang Peng flicked his cigarette and said nonchalantly, "It's common, you'll get used to it."
In the beginning, if he couldn't contact Lu Zhou for a long time, he would anxiously call him to ask about the situation.
However, after a while, he realized that his worries were unnecessary.
Yan Yan couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you worried that something might happen to him?"
Wang Peng smiled and said nonchalantly, "From last year until now, I've been driving for him for almost a year. He hasn't been to the hospital even once. His body is better than you think, what kind of accident could happen to him … "
At this moment, the door to the villa suddenly opened.
When Wang Peng saw Lu Zhou appear at the door, he nearly dropped his cigarette on the ground.
The f * ck?
How many days has it been since he slept?
Yan Yan looked at Lu Zhou's dark eye bags and immediately walked up to him. She said in a serious tone, "You need to rest now, please —"
"No need."
Even though he knew she was reminding him out of kindness, he didn't care about that right now.
If he was sleepy, he could just sleep on the road.
Not to mention, he hadn't slept for two days. For his enhanced body, this amount of stress was completely acceptable.
Lu Zhou looked past Yan Yan and directly at Wang Peng.
"Send me to the STAR-2 demonstration reactor base, we're leaving now."
