The day after the bidding conference ended.
In the same auditorium.
Lu Zhou stood in front of the auditorium. He used a loud and steady voice to give a lecture on computational materials science to the Harbin Institute of Technology students.
"… The advantage of computational materials science is that we can avoid many unnecessary mistakes through calculations. We can also get rid of the traditional scientific intuition and use a more rational vision to find the answers we need.
"Using the theoretical model of the electrochemical interface structure as an example, I will briefly explain the application of functional analysis and other mathematical theories in the field of computational materials science …"
There was a crowd in the audience, shoulder to shoulder, and some people were even sitting on the ground.
After hearing about this report, it wasn't just the students from Harbin Institute of Technology and nearby universities. Even some researchers who had graduated many years ago and worked in nearby research institutes also came to Harbin Institute of Technology.
In order to maintain order at the scene, the Harbin Institute of Technology dragged almost half of the security guards over. Even though this report caused a lot of trouble for the teachers here, Academician Zou looked quite happy.
In order to respond to their enthusiasm, Lu Zhou put in 120% of his effort into this lecture.
The content he was going to talk about today, which was the theoretical model of the electrochemical interface structure, had caused a considerable sensation in the field of computational materials science and surface chemistry. He himself was awarded the Hoffman Medal by the German Chemical Society and was jointly nominated by several Nobel Prize laureates.
Whether it was the theory itself or the mathematical methods he described in the report, it was quite inspiring for scholars engaged in materials science or applied mathematics research.
Therefore, the people sitting in the auditorium were also listening very attentively.
Regardless of whether they understood or not, they would take notes on the important parts.
Whether it was the students or the professors.
Whether it was the chemistry department or the mathematics department …
The lecture went from ten in the morning to one in the afternoon.
The lecture, which was originally scheduled to end at 12: 30 pm, was delayed by half an hour. However, less than ten people left in the middle of the lecture.
As the lecture ended, the entire auditorium was instantly filled with thunderous applause, which almost overturned the entire roof.
Lu Zhou looked at the teachers and students in the audience and smiled. He then walked off the stage.
After giving a lecture for the entire morning, not only were the listeners hungry, but the people on stage were also hungry.
Lu Zhou followed the receptionist and walked from the auditorium to the school cafeteria.
The school prepared a banquet for him in the staff dining area on the top floor.
"Professor Lu, I'd like to toast you on behalf of the students of Harbin Institute of Technology! Thank you for bringing this wonderful lecture to the students of Harbin Institute of Technology! "
"Academician Zou, you're too kind." Lu Zhou smiled modestly and said, "I wonder if it's convenient for you to show me around your laboratory in the afternoon?"
"Oh, I almost forgot." Academician Zou put down the glass of wine and patted his head. He then smiled and said, "That's easy, Professor Lu is so interested in my research, of course I welcome you! After lunch, I'll take you there! "
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Thank you, you're too kind."
After eating and drinking, the group of people left the cafeteria.
Academician Zou walked on the tree-lined path to the laboratory and smiled.
"What do you think of the environment of Harbin Institute of Technology?"
Lu Zhou looked at the library not far away and spoke with a smile.
"It's a university with a strong engineering atmosphere.
"After all, we're training future talents in the field of national defense. Engineering is our school's strength." Academician Zou paused for a second and said, "If there's a chance, I hope Professor Lu will come to our school to give more lectures."
Lu Zhou smiled and nodded.
"Of course."
Along the way, Academician Zou didn't invite Lu Zhou to stay and teach. After all, he knew it wasn't realistic.
He didn't even take the olive branches offered by Yan University and Shui Mu seriously. In comparison, Harbin Institute of Technology, which was one of the nine weaklings that was almost expelled from the C9, did not have the confidence to invite this big shot. Being able to invite Lu Zhou to come and give a few lectures was already good enough.
At the very least, Academician Zou benefited a lot from the lecture just now.
Soon after, the group of people arrived at a six-story building.
After passing through the security, Academician Zou brought Lu Zhou into the laboratory.
"This is the bionic prosthetic laboratory I told you about. My HA/Ti biocomposite project team is working here. There's also the research team from Aurora University. Occasionally, they come here to talk to our project staff. Of course, they're mainly responsible for the neural interface, and we're responsible for solving the material and mechanical problems … This is it. "
Academician Zou pushed open a door and walked into the laboratory with Lu Zhou.
The two researchers standing next to the experiment equipment noticed the movement at the door. They turned around.
When they saw Academician Zou at the door, they were about to say hello. However, they soon noticed Lu Zhou, who was standing next to Academician Zou. One of the researchers, who was wearing glasses, suddenly had a surprised look on his face. He excitedly walked up and spoke.
"You … You're Lu Zhou?"
"Yeah … It's me." Lu Zhou was a little embarrassed by this guy's enthusiasm, but he still smiled and said, "I'm not disturbing your work, right?"
"Of course not, please sit down, I'll make a cup of coffee."
"No, no, no, it's fine, I'm just here with Academician Zou, I won't be staying for long."
The excited researcher finally calmed down. Lu Zhou followed Academician Zou into the laboratory. Soon, he saw a mechanical arm inside a transparent container about one or two meters long and wide. It was installed on a round metal base.
Lu Zhou looked at this mechanical arm with interest on his face.
"Can this thing move?"
Academician Zou smiled and spoke.
"Of course it can. Even though there are still some areas that need to be adjusted, it can basically be used … Do you want to try it?"
"You have to let me try it."
The device used to control this mechanical arm was a hollow metal ring about the length of a vacuum flask. After Lu Zhou opened the ring from the side, he put it on his arm like a fencing bracer.
With the help of the researcher, Lu Zhou soon felt a slight tingling in his elbow joint, but it soon disappeared. Two small probes were inserted into his muscles, and they began to collect nerve signals from his arm to his forearm.
"Is it ready?"
"It's ready." The researcher pressed a few buttons on the computer next to him. An electrocardiogram fluctuated up and down lines appeared on the screen. He looked at Lu Zhou and smiled as he said, "Try throwing a punch."
Lu Zhou tried throwing a punch forward.
Then, a miraculous scene happened.
The arm that was supposed to be punching forward didn't move. Or rather, it only moved slightly. Instead, the mechanical arm that was installed on the round base, which was about four or five meters away from him, threw a punch forward clumsily.
The look of interest on Lu Zhou's face became more and more intense. He glanced at his "unconscious" arm.
"… Did it block the transmission of nerve signals?"
At the same time, he used his left hand to pinch the palm of his right hand.
Emm …
I can still feel the pain.
That's strange!
The researcher standing next to him made a helpless expression. "It's not so much blocking, it's more like interference. After all, this thing is only used to collect experimental data, it's not a mature technology … In fact, as long as your nerve cells are active enough, you can still lift your hand. At most, you will feel a little tired, like you just did 50 kilograms of anaerobic exercise."
"I probably can't do 50 kilograms of aerobic exercise … But, it's a very interesting invention." Lu Zhou tried to do a few more sets of movements. Some of the mechanical arm could be restored, while others could only twitch twice.
It seemed like what the researcher said was true, this technology was still quite immature.
However, even so, the potential of this technology was quite huge.
Unlike the exoskeleton that amplified human movements, this device could operate mechanical equipment far away from the human body by relying on the conversion of nerve electrical signals and digital signals.
If this technology could be developed and matured, not only could it be used in the field of medical devices, but it could also play an unexpected role in many special fields!
Academician Zou shook his head and said, "It's not really an invention. The neural bypass system first appeared in Nature in April 2016. Our project is also a branch of research on this system. As far as I know, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is probably at the forefront, and they have already achieved some results. Or rather, we're the ones chasing after them. "
"It doesn't matter who's chasing after them." Lu Zhou took off the device and touched the two tiny needle holes on his arm. He said, "It would be great if it could be connected painlessly … This thing is quite deep."
The researcher standing next to him made a helpless expression.
"There's no need for this at all. This is for amputees. They usually don't take it off."
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "I think this technology doesn't have to be limited to amputees. If we install this in the spine, wouldn't we be able to remotely control an entire robot?"
Academician Zou smiled and said, "Your idea is quite interesting, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to implement. Not to mention that the signal processing of the spinal nerve is more than a hundred times more complex than the trunk nerve. This kind of nerve center is related to the health and comfort of the whole body, so we can't just do experiments on it. "
Lu Zhou nodded thoughtfully.
"You're right."
Lu Zhou returned the device to the researcher and walked around the laboratory.
When Lu Zhou was almost done, he suddenly stopped at the entrance of the research institute. He looked at Academician Zou, who was next to him.
"Oh yeah, Academician Zou, I want to ask you something."
Academician Zou asked, "What?"
Lu Zhou smiled awkwardly.
"This project of yours … Is there a shortage of people?"
