After returning to the dormitory, Qin Jingyu checked the summer vacation schedule for each college in Purdue University. From mid-to-late May, each college began to have summer vacation according to their course schedules. The School of Physics and the School of Mathematics were the last two colleges to have vacation, and the semester courses would end in early June at the latest. The summer vacation would last until early September before school started.

Graduate students will be on vacation a little later. According to Parker, they all have their vacation in mid-July every year. But after Professor Murphy has his summer vacation from the undergraduate department, he will also take a vacation and will not come to school. If they have any questions, Professor Murphy will arrange time for them to provide online guidance. June and July every year are the most relaxing times for them.

Qin Jingyu heard this and realized it was no wonder that Professor Murphy asked her what her plans were for the summer vacation. He must be planning to take a vacation after helping her finish the experimental project at hand.

Hoshino and Joyce were the first group of people in their college to have their holidays. When they returned to the dormitory at night, they ran into a few of them coming back from the library, already preparing for their final exams.

Joyce asked, "Qin, when will Professor Murphy give you a holiday?"

Qin Jingyu replied calmly: "It should be a month later than you."

William: "Will you go back to China during the summer vacation?"

Qin Jingyu asked back: "Are you going back to China for the summer vacation or staying here?"

Joyce waved his hand quickly: "No, no, no, summer vacation at Purdue University is too boring. We won't stay in school, but we have already made plans. We will each go back to our country for a month, and then take a self-driving tour to chase the northern lights for the next two months. How about it? Do you want to go?"

Hoshino said softly beside him, "Your professor Murphy should let you go free during the summer vacation."

He finally realized that the biggest obstacle to his unsuccessful pursuit of Qin Jingyu this semester was Professor Murphy. He assigned too many tasks to Qin Jingyu, which made it impossible for him to make an appointment with him at all.

Qin Jingyu: “Not necessarily.”

William: "Has Professor Murphy become so perverted that he wants to exploit your summer vacation time?"

"No, I have other plans." Qin Jingyu curled his lips and said, "I wish you a happy holiday."

Chasing the Northern Lights sounds very romantic.

There was a trace of loneliness in Xingye's eyes, and William patted him on the shoulder, "Why don't you give up."

This bone is too tough to chew.

Hoshino glanced at him and said, "Shut up."

The next day after the conversation, Professor Murphy asked Qin Jingyu about his summer vacation plans again, "Teacher, I plan to stay in school during the summer vacation."

Professor Murphy looked at him with some surprise, "Aren't you going home? Your two senior brothers have already planned where to travel."

He was referring to Parker and Steven.

She shook her head and said no.

"Have you really decided? Aren't you going to discuss it with the domestic authorities?"

"We've discussed it, and they let me make my own arrangements."

During her years of studying abroad, Professor Zhang and others would not interfere with her arrangements, and her vacation matters were entirely arranged by herself.

"It's so hard to get a holiday, don't you think it's a pity if you don't go out and relax?"

After going around in circles for a long time, Qin Jingyu said directly: "Teacher, just say what you want to say."

Professor Murphy, "Qin, I will be on vacation next week. You did a great job organizing the paper for the previous project. I will still leave the finishing touches of this experiment and the paper to you."

Qin Jingyu agreed readily: "No problem."

These were not difficult tasks for her and did not take long.

Professor Murphy also asked directly: "Since you have decided to stay in school during the summer vacation, you should have some plans, right?"

Qin Jingyu thought about it and decided to ask: "Teacher, according to the course you set for me before, I have followed you to participate in two experimental projects. Do you plan to let me carry out my own project next?"

“So you still remember.”

"I won't forget what the teacher said."

"I'm planning to let you do your own project next semester, but I'll save a lot of time if you help me."

"Teacher, you won't let me help you all the time, right?"

Professor Murphy snorted. He wanted to keep Qin Jingyu by his side to help him, but it depended on whether others agreed. If old man John knew that he did this, he would probably tear down his laboratory.

He asked, "From what you said, you have already chosen the topic?"

Qin Jingyu: "It's just a rough idea."

"Really?" Professor Murphy became interested. "Tell me about it."

Let him see what topic Qin Jingyu chose.

“Boltzmann brain.”

Upon hearing this, Professor Murphy looked at Qin Jingyu in surprise, "You want to use the Boltzmann brain as your first solo research topic?"

She nodded.

Murphy's face became serious: "Qin, have you thought about it?"

"Teacher, do you have any suggestions?"

Qin Jingyu could understand Professor Murphy's expression. He rarely looked so serious.

"Qin, Boltzmann brain is no easier than proving the existence of dark matter. It is a very difficult topic. I am not trying to scare you. If you start this topic, it will be difficult for you to graduate."

That was a thought experiment that all the cosmologists in the world were arguing about, but even he had never touched it.

Qin Jingyu is so bold.

But it was such a surprise.

Qin Jingyu said in a relaxed tone: "This is my first project. I want to give it a try. If I really can't graduate, I can change the subject midway."

Theoretically, the topic of the graduation thesis cannot be changed at will, but as long as Professor Murphy nods, it is not impossible.

Professor Murphy said: "Qin, you are really too brave."

Qin Jingyu: "A lot of people say that about me."

Professor Murphy is not the first.

Murphy suddenly thought of something and asked, "Did Professor Dolly's female student come to see you?"

She was stunned for a moment, "Teacher, you also know Carter?"

"Her." Professor Murphy nodded. "She is one of Dolly's smartest students. He likes her very much. He gave Carter the greatest freedom in choosing topics. It is precisely because of this that the female student gave him a headache."

Qin Jingyu thought that was the case, so he said, "Carter did come to me."

"She was the one who told you about the Boltzmann brain, right?"

"Yes."

"Did Dolly agree to her choice of this topic, so she came to you for cooperation?"

She scratched the back of her nose. "I don't know about that yet. Carter only came to me once to talk about the Boltzmann brain experiment, and I haven't given her an answer in the past few months."

Professor Murphy was incredulous when he heard this: "Qin, you are so ungentlemanly."

Qin Jingyu was a little confused: "Yeah?"

"Such a beautiful lady came to you, and you didn't respond to her for several months. This is not a gentlemanly behavior."

There were three black lines on her forehead.
