The next day, in the morning.
Lu Zhou received a call from Old Tang and went to the laboratory building.
When he entered Old Tang's office, he saw that not only was Old Tang there, but Professor Lee Yong-eun, who taught physics, was also there.
What is this?
"Why are you standing at the door, come in and sit." Professor Tang looked at Lu Zhou standing at the door and put down his vacuum flask. He smiled and said, "What have you been busy with?"
"I've been busy with the Campus Assistant …"
Lu Zhou smiled and answered Old Tang's question. He then politely greeted Professor Lee Yong-eun and sat on the sofa next to him.
Professor Lee Yong-eun smiled and asked, "How is it going? Is there any improvement? "
Lu Zhou coughed and said, "It's still the same …"
Although there was no progress so far, it was not the time for the version update. Who knew what would happen?
Even if it failed, how could a scientist … fail?
"Professor Tang, why did you suddenly ask me to come here?"
Lu Zhou quickly changed the topic.
"It's not me," said Professor Tang with a smile. He said, "It's Professor Lee from our physics department. Recently, his scientific research project has encountered a bottleneck, so he asked me for a functional analysis expert to help him. Originally, I wanted to do it myself, but unfortunately, I'm too busy with my own project, so I can't find the time. I thought about it. Among the PhD and graduate students I taught, no one can compare to you in functional analysis. I just don't know if Professor Lee is satisfied. "
When Professor Lee heard Old Tang's words, he immediately smiled and said, "Haha, what are you talking about? Your mathematics department sent such a great general over, of course I would welcome him with open arms. How could I not want him?"
Ah, how can I accept this!
Although Lu Zhou thought so in his heart, he still had to be humble. He smiled and said, "Professor, you're too kind. There are many powerful people in the mathematics department. I'm not a great general, I'm just a pawn."
The two graduate students who were working on a project nearby didn't want to talk. They rolled their eyes at the same time.
F * ck, if you're a pawn, then what am I?
Paramecia?
"Alright, don't be so modest!" Old Tang could not stand it anymore. He interrupted Lu Zhou and said, "Since when can Jin Ling University's mathematics department solve world-class mathematics problems? I'm afraid Princeton's mathematics throne will have to be given to us. Let's be honest. Are you going for this project or not? If not, I'll find someone else. "
"Go! Of course! " Lu Zhou agreed without hesitation. He then asked, "May I ask what the project is?"
There weren't many opportunities for undergraduate students to participate in scientific research projects. Especially for the mathematics department, which had tight research funding, high-quality scientific research projects were very popular. Usually, if an undergraduate wanted a chance to do odd jobs in the laboratory, they would have to curry favor with the professor for a long time.
Of course, although the mathematics department did not have many high-quality scientific research projects, due to the special nature of mathematics as a "tool discipline", people from the mathematics department had many opportunities to participate in other departments' research projects.
One of the most popular research projects was the physics department research project.
After all, everyone at Jin Ling University knew that the physics department had the most research projects out of all the departments at Jin Ling University. They also had the most funding. From nuclear physics to semiconductor materials, there were national research projects, as well as cooperative research projects between the university and companies. No matter which one it was, the results were among the best!
Because of this, when the two graduate students heard that Professor Tang wanted Lu Zhou to participate in Professor Li Rongen's research project, they didn't react on the surface. However, in their hearts, they were envious.
Who didn't know that Professor Lee Yong-eun was from the Carbon Nanomaterials Research Institute?
That place was one of the most well-funded research units in the Jin Ling University physics department!
However, there was nothing they could do about it. They could only blame Lu Zhou for being too monstrous. They could only be envious.
In his first year, he received an olive branch from New York University with an SCI paper in the field of functional analysis. Not long after the start of his second year, he solved a world-class mathematics problem. It would be useless to fight for a research project with such a person!
Professor Lee smiled and said, "Research on carbon nanotube modified cement-based composite materials! It's mainly used in areas such as flood control, land reclamation, and bridge foundations. It's good for the country and the people. Our research group's project is supported by the Jiangsu Science and Technology Department and the National Engineering and Materials Science Department. The molecular project is also invested by Zhongshan New Materials, a local listed company in Jinling. Participating in this kind of project will be very helpful for your personal resume and future development. "
Carbon nanotube modified cement-based composite materials?
It sounded like it was very powerful.
Lu Zhou said, "Professor Lee, I don't know much about materials science. Can you tell me what I need to do?"
Professor Lee smiled and said, "Don't worry about that, everyone starts from scratch. As for what you need to do, I'll assign you a research task later. To be more specific, it's mainly to analyze the Fourier infrared spectroscopy data collected. "
That's it?
When Lu Zhou heard this, he sighed in relief.
That's easy, I'm an expert in functional analysis.
Therefore, he smiled and said, "No problem! Leave it to me, when do I report to you? "
"Let's not wait for another day, let's do it now." Lee Yong-eun stood up from the sofa and smiled at Professor Tang. He said, "Then I won't bother you anymore. I'll borrow your precious student!"
"Haha, don't worry about it, just remember to return him!" Professor Tang smiled and joked.
…
The Jin Ling University Carbon Nanomaterials Research Institute was located in the northeast corner of the campus. It was next to a tree-lined path that led to the observatory.
Who would have thought that hundreds of millions of yuan worth of experimental equipment would be placed in this ugly building?
At least, Lu Zhou did not expect this.
From the moment he stepped into the campus until now, he had never been here even once.
Professor Lee Yong-eun joked, "This is our school's carbon nanomaterials research institute. Haha, isn't it a bit disappointing from the outside?"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "I'm not disappointed, but from the outside, it does look quite ordinary."
"Extraordinary mysteries are often hidden in the seemingly ordinary things, just like the things we study. A piece of graphite can be softer than water or harder than steel … It just depends on how we reconcile the relationship between the microscopic particles. "
Professor Lee Yong-eun walked to the main entrance of the research institute as he chatted with Lu Zhou about physics.
The interior of the research institute was actually no different from a school building. The only difference was that there were no classrooms here. There were only departments with various signs and laboratories with different equipment.
Compared to the various cutting-edge experimental instruments displayed here, the experimental equipment that Lu Zhou had seen in his experiments to test the law of particle motion was more like a child's toy.
After Professor Lee Yong-eun brought Lu Zhou here, he found a tall and skinny graduate student in a white lab coat.
"Xiao Liu, take him around and familiarize him with the environment here. I have something to do in a bit, so I have to go to the old campus. You guys can create the data and send it to my email. "
"Okay, professor," said the graduate student named Xiao Liu with a smile.
After Professor Lee Yong-eun entrusted Lu Zhou to Xiao Liu, he left.
Liu habitually adjusted his glasses and smiled. He reached out his right hand and said, "My surname is Liu, first name Bo. Just call me Brother Liu!"
"Lu Zhou," said Lu Zhou as he shook his hand and said, "Hello, Brother Liu!"
"Haha, Lu Zhou, right? Hello, I've heard of you, "said Liu Bo as he let go of his hand. He smiled and politely said," This way please. "
While walking in the hallway, Liu Bo introduced the situation here to Lu Zhou.
As the name implied, the main research topic of this research institute was carbon nanomaterials. The research on carbon nanomaterials also included research on carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, graphene materials, etc.
According to Liu Bo, the latest generation of photoelectric observation equipment used in the 99 tank used photoelectric devices, one of which was the research results here. It was mainly for interference and component damage caused by electromagnetic pulses. As for the specifics of the project, it involved confidential content, so he didn't know much.
In addition, there were also a lot of public scientific research results. For example, the research on the inhibition of perfluorocarbon nanoparticles on tumors, which would provide new ideas for cancer treatment.
These were all quite cutting-edge research topics.
As they chatted, Liu Bo began to talk about the project he was participating in.
"Although the project we are doing is not as earth-shattering as other research projects, it is related to the national infrastructure, so it is quite significant! Of course, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Scientific research has to be done calmly. You can't rush it. "
Brother Liu stopped at the door of a laboratory. He looked back at Lu Zhou and spoke with a smile.
