After a lot of effort, Lu Zhou finally appeased Xiao Ai and convinced it to pick a few of the existing machines.
As the level of intelligence became higher and higher, Lu Zhou felt like this guy was getting more and more mischievous.
However, after all, a program was still a program. Regardless of whether or not it had developed to the level of "digital life", it couldn't disobey Lu Zhou's orders.
Finally, Xiao Ai sent a screenshot. Lu Zhou glanced at the robotic arms in the factory and thought for a bit. He then said, "ABB's YuMi intelligent cooperative robot and six-axis universal robot, two of each model."
Eight industrial robots wasn't a lot. Even though they were imported, it was less than 2 million.
Because Lu Zhou was the one who recommended it, Zhao Zhongshu didn't even accept the deposit from Lu Zhou.
However, even though Zhao Zhongshu didn't want it, Lu Zhou still paid the deposit according to the terms of the contract.
"When will it arrive?"
"It will definitely arrive this month."
"Okay then, are you guys responsible for installing it?"
Zhao Zhongshu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry about this, our factory technicians will definitely be responsible for installing it for you!"
Lu Zhou nodded and put away his contract. He didn't stay here any longer.
Because he still had some things to do at school in the afternoon, he declined Factory Manager Zhao's invitation to have lunch together. He got into Wang Peng's car and drove toward Jin Ling University.
…
This year's Chinese New Year was early, so the time for the graduate student interview was also early.
Lu Zhou was invited by Dean Qin of the mathematics department to participate in the graduate student interview in the afternoon as one of the interviewers.
Lu Zhou bought a bowl of barbecue rice in the cafeteria and found a quiet place to eat. He then got up and went to the interview site.
When he arrived at the interview site, there were only ten minutes left before the interview began.
Other than him, everyone else was here.
Dean Qin greeted him and invited him to sit next to him.
Lu Zhou sat down and drank his tea while he chatted with Academician Qin and a few other professors from the mathematics department. Soon, it was two o 'clock.
The hand of the clock on the wall had just moved to the position of two.
Soon, a male student wearing a black down jacket, glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a slightly high hairline walked in.
Perhaps it was because he looked old, but if he hadn't introduced himself as per usual, Lu Zhou wouldn't have thought that he was a late interviewer.
Obviously, Lu Zhou was not the only one who had such thoughts.
Professor Yang Chunhua, who was already in his forties, flipped through the resume and looked at him in disbelief.
"94? It doesn't look like it. "
This bro was really shameless. He smiled shyly and said, "Maybe I'm fairer, so I look younger."
Lu Zhou nearly choked on his tea when he heard this.
Yang Chunhua: "No, I mean that you look older."
Student: "???"
Lu Zhou put down the teacup in his hand and coughed. He then said, "It's good to be older, you look more like an academic."
Isn't that what they say?
Lu Zhou looked at him, he was from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
When Lu Zhou saw his high hairline, he had this feeling.
However, for some reason, his words of comfort didn't seem to work. The student looked even more depressed …
Soon after, the first round of interviews ended. After the experts exchanged opinions, they gave a pretty good score.
Immediately after, the second interviewee walked in.
It was still the usual self-introduction.
Then, the first one to speak was Professor Yang Chunhua.
"Young man, do you have a girlfriend?"
The student smiled and said, "Not yet, if I get in, I hope you can introduce me to someone."
Lu Zhou: "Don't look for one, don't think about dating in academia."
Student: "…"
Dean Qin: "…"
Interviewers: "…"
After the first round of interviews ended, the interviewers exchanged opinions.
Lu Zhou was about to speak his opinion, but he suddenly received a text from Yang Xu.
[The test results are out!!!]
Even though Lu Zhou didn't know why Yang Xu used three exclamation marks, he felt like the test results should be quite shocking. Therefore, he replied with [I'm coming]. He then turned off his phone and looked at the other interviewers.
"I have something to do, I have to leave for a bit."
Dean Qin smiled and said, "It's fine, go do what you need to do."
Lu Zhou nodded and thanked him. He then got up and left the classroom.
Outside of the classroom.
Two postdocs were leaning against the window in the hallway. They were busy maintaining order, and they were bragging.
They happened to see Lu Zhou walking out of the classroom, and they immediately started talking about him.
"That's Lu Zhou, right?"
"I think so."
"Why is he here as an interviewer?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's because he has a lot of students under him, and he's worried about letting others interview him, so he came himself."
"I heard he recruited four PhD students in a year?"
"I heard it's six, and apparently, there are two PhD students."
"Amazing … So many students, can he handle all of them?"
The postdoc had an envious look on his face.
The joy of commanding scientific research dogs was something that they, as scientific research dogs, would never be able to experience …
Or rather, they only experienced the pain of it.
The postdoc next to him shook his head and said, "Who knows if he'll be busy or not."
Compared to teaching undergraduate students, it was more profitable to mentor graduate students. After all, no matter how high-end the research was, there were still some repetitive tasks that needed to be done.
Compared to social workers, students were undoubtedly more hardworking, and they wouldn't complain about pay and overtime … At least not in person. Such a high-quality, high-end labor force could not be found anywhere else other than universities. Therefore, under normal circumstances, professors were still very willing to teach students.
However, even if they were willing to mentor students, an ordinary master's mentor would only mentor one PhD student a year. Some nutty professors would mentor four PhD students a year, but that was quite rare.
For example, Lu Zhou to recruit four PhD students from the mathematics department and two from the chemistry department, that was a total of six PhD students. Not to mention, they were all PhD students, which was quite rare.
While the two were admiring Lu Zhou, a girl with a high ponytail and a red and black checkered scarf walked over from outside the classroom. She followed Lu Zhou's footprints and walked over from the stairs.
Han Mengqi waited outside for a while before she heard her name being called. She took a deep breath and gently tidied up her collar. She then walked into the office.
Her resume was perfect. Not only did she have an internship at the Institute of Computational Materials, but she also had scientific research experience as an undergraduate. She also published an SCI thesis, and she even received a Dongliang Special Scholarship.
Graduate student applicants like them were just going through the motions. As long as there wasn't a big problem, they would be able to pass.
As usual, at the teacher's request, she gave a simple self-introduction.
Then, the female professor sitting directly opposite her, who looked to be in her forties, asked.
"What's your future plan?"
Han Mengqi had a polite smile on her face. "I plan to go to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a PhD after I finish my master's degree. After two years of post-doctoral research, I'll stay and teach there."
This could be considered a formulaic answer. Basically, every interviewee said the same thing.
However, in the eyes of the professors, there were actually quite a lot of flaws in this answer.
After asking the routine questions, all that was left was to chat about daily life.
Seeing that the girl was quite pretty, Professor Yang Chunhua smiled and asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?"
Not understanding why the interviewer suddenly asked this question, Han Mengqi replied with a confused expression, "… Not yet."
It wasn't that no one had pursued her, it was just that she wasn't interested in those boring guys.
The only female professor in the classroom who was in her fifties continued to ask, "Do you have any plans to find a partner?"
Han Mengqi: "Not yet."
Professor Yang Chunhua: "Who's your supervisor?"
Han Mengqi said cautiously, "Professor Lu …"
When the two female professors heard that it was Professor Lu, they immediately whispered to each other.
Even though they lowered their voices, Han Mengqi could still faintly hear their conversation.
"I knew it, she's Professor Lu's student."
"That's right, that's right. I guessed it too!"
"She doesn't plan on finding a partner, so she should meet his requirements."
"So you've already passed her?"
"I've already given it to her."
Han Mengqi: "…?"
