Among the many materials, only a very small number of materials had the so-called "disruptive gene", and graphene was one of them. As the most advanced material, graphene could be combined with almost any material.
However, that was only in theory.
To a large extent, what restricted the development of modern materials technology wasn't that people couldn't come up with a good "idea", but that they couldn't find a way to implement the "idea".
With the current technological means, it was almost impossible to make a composite of silver nanoparticles and graphene with a particle size between 1-5 nm.
Whether it was a laboratory preparation or a mature technology in the industry, Lu Zhou and Yang Xu couldn't think of a good way. Therefore, after some discussion, the two finally reached a consensus.
Which was, first, 10000 tons of silver powder and single-layer graphene fragments were bonded through powder metallurgy. If they were successful, the size of the particles would be further reduced until they reached the nanometer level.
At the same time, the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study also conducted research on the method of bonding tiny metal particles and graphene fragments to make alloys.
Even though the application of this technology couldn't be seen for the time being, Lu Zhou still allocated 120 million yuan to a series of projects related to Ag/GF composite materials.
Other than that, there was also research related to carbon-based chips.
However, this wasn't just done by the Institute of Computational Materials, the Institute of Physics at the Institute for Advanced Study and the physics department at Jin Ling University were also involved in related projects.
Regarding the research and development of this technology, Lu Zhou's funding was almost twice that of the Ag/GF composite materials. He even participated in this project himself.
On the other hand, the research on Debris No.3 was still ongoing. In addition to digesting the treasures that had already been excavated, Lu Zhou also hoped to excavate more treasures from this debris.
Of course, even though there were so many things to do, Lu Zhou didn't forget about the mission given to him by the system.
Honestly speaking, the description of this reward mission was very ambiguous.
The thesis required students to have a certain degree of participation in the research project, but the system didn't give a standard for how to define this degree of participation.
If he knew this standard, he would be able to find the right solution.
Right now, Lu Zhou could only make a rough guess based on common sense. All he had to do was pour tea for the project team, clean up the equipment, and finally write five or six theses on the thesis. He probably wouldn't be able to report back.
There were also other researchers in the research institute.
Although Lu Zhou took some time to guide some people on their research, the system didn't classify them as students.
Obviously, the system did not intend to give him a chance to take advantage of loopholes. If he wanted to complete the quest, he had to honestly follow the system's instructions.
However, since it was a reward quest, Lu Zhou did it with a relaxed attitude.
There was one more mission card that he had not flipped through.
If he wasn't mistaken, the Mission Card was most likely going to be another big project.
At that time, he would probably be very busy.
…
Jin Ling University mathematics department building.
The office at the end of the corridor.
Four men and two women stood at the door of the office. No one knocked on the door.
Other than Han Mengqi, most of the people here only knew about Lu Zhou from what they had seen on TV.
He didn't feel anything when he was squatting in a crowd or through a screen, but as a beginner, it was normal for him to feel pressured when facing a master-level scholar.
As for Han Mengqi …
Even she did not expect herself to be so nervous …
After a round of "You go or should I go?" At last, after some negotiation, a young fellow, who looked a little more courageous, stepped forward, and bravely knocked at the door.
Not long after, the office door opened.
Feng Jin looked at the lady who appeared at the door and knocked on the door. He spoke cautiously.
"Hello, is this Professor Lu's office?"
Lin Yuxiang looked at the students at the door and smiled as she said, "You guys are Professor Lu's students, right? Come in. "
Assistant Lin brought the group of people into the office. After they sat down on the sofa, she poured each of them a cup of tea.
"Professor Lu might be here for a while, you guys can sit here for a while."
When Lin Yuxiang turned around and walked toward her desk, almost all of the male students couldn't help but sneak a few glances at her.
A male master's student whispered, "Professor Lu's assistant is so pretty."
Someone next to him whispered, "Yeah …"
Hearing these whispers, Han Mengqi couldn't help but sneak a glance at her. She muttered in her heart, unconvinced.
How is she pretty?
She continued to sneak a few glances and went silent.
Okay then.
She reluctantly admitted that Lin Yuxiang might be a little better than her in terms of dressing up.
However, this was only because she was a homebody and didn't spend much time on dressing up!
At this moment, a man with sparse hair and a very mature face walked in from outside.
He looked at the six people sitting on the office sofa and paused for a second.
"You guys … Are you all Professor Lu's students?"
"Yeah." Feng Jin, who knocked on the door before, stood up and said politely, "Are you Professor Lu's assistant?"
He Changwen paused for a second and shook his head as he said, "Assistant? No, I'm Professor Lu's PhD student. "
A master's student next to him said, "You're a student?"
He Changwen smiled and said, "I don't look like one."
The six of them looked at each other and nodded in unison.
He Changwen touched his slightly reflective forehead and looked at his junior brothers and sisters. He Changwen smiled embarrassedly.
"It's fine, sooner or later, you guys will experience it with your own bodies."
Graduate students: "…"
After sitting on the sofa for around ten minutes, another PhD student came.
Compared to Professor He, this PhD student's hairline wasn't as exaggerated.
Finally, the students from the master's and PhD groups were all present. However, Lu Zhou, who called them here, was nowhere to be seen.
However, when the hour hand pointed to nine, Lu Zhou walked into the office.
He looked at the students in the office and was a little surprised.
"You guys are all here?"
The group of people looked at Professor Lu and nodded in unison.
Han Mengqi originally wanted to say hello, but she thought that it would be inappropriate to act too familiar with the professor. Therefore, after hesitating for a bit, she gave up on this idea and decided to wait until later.
Lin Yuxiang, who was sitting behind the office desk, smirked and said, "They've been at the door since 8: 30, they've been waiting for a while."
When Lu Zhou heard that they had been waiting for him for more than half an hour, he coughed and said, "I told you guys to come after nine, I didn't say everyone would come at nine …"
Originally, he wanted to meet them one by one, but he didn't expect everyone to come together.
After that, he looked at Assistant Kong, who was in charge of paperwork, and spoke.
"Help me get the list of names."
"Okay." Kong Jie nodded and opened the drawer. She took out a list and walked toward Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou took the list from her hand and glanced at it. He then cleared his throat and spoke.
"Since everyone is here, I'll take a roll call. There are a lot of people, so raise your hand if you can see them. "
Out of the eight students, Lu Zhou could only recognize three of them without looking at the list.
The thin-haired, academical-looking PhD student was He Weiwen, and he was in the field of analytic number theory.
The taller PhD student was Wu Shuimu. Like Lu Zhou, he studied applied mathematics. His master's degree was in the field of functional analysis. Now, he was in the field of computational materials.
As for the other six master's students, other than Han Mengqi, which Lu Zhou knew, Lu Zhou had only seen the resumes of the other five. He didn't even know who they were, let alone know who they were.
After a round of roll calls, Lu Zhou finally matched their names with their faces.
He handed the list in his hand to Zhao Huan, who was standing next to him. He looked at his eight students and spoke.
"From now on, you are my students. I will do my best to pass on my knowledge to you.
"However, I might be busy with my own projects, so I don't have much time to guide you. If you encounter any academic problems, you can email them to my email, or ask other researchers at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study …"
The Jinling Institute for Advanced Study opened the Institute of Physics and Institute of Mathematics the year before last. With the high salary, relaxed scientific research environment, and the Fields Medal and Nobel Prizes, he attracted a group of excellent talents.
When he didn't have time, he could also entrust some of his students to help him temporarily.
Lu Zhou paused for a second and spoke.
"Of course, even though I don't have much time to take care of you, since you're here, I won't let you stay idle for the next three to five years. From tomorrow onwards, I will arrange for all of you to be assigned to specific project teams, and you will learn through practice. "
"I hope that you take this job seriously. I don't have any specific requirements for you to read a few theses a week. You can just pick the ones that you're interested in and that are helpful to your research. However, I want to see a thesis written by you within half a year."
Other than Han Mengqi and the other two PhD students, everyone in the master's group took a deep breath.
Finish a thesis in half a year …
Most of them had just finished their undergraduate studies, so they didn't even know how to write a thesis. The longest thing they wrote in their four years of university was probably the final report for their course design and their undergraduate thesis.
However, to be honest, that thing was quite different from a regular thesis …
Lu Zhou briefly explained the things they needed to pay attention to. He paused for a second and said, "Also, I will give you some suggestions about your courses, but the final choice will depend on your future requirements. After you choose your courses, just send them to my email."
"Are there any other questions?"
The students shook their heads and answered in unison.
"Nope."
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Okay then, that's it for today. Remember to come to the office tomorrow."
