Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

In the second week after New Year's Day, two big things happened.

The well-known academic journal "Science" selected the top ten scientific and technological breakthroughs of last year, that is, 2016, in accordance with the usual practice.

As the last piece of the puzzle of general relativity, the discovery of gravitational waves won the top spot without a doubt.

If electromagnetic telescopes are human eyes, then gravitational wave detectors are like human ears, and since then humans have finally been able to listen to sounds from the universe.

In the second place is Cynthia 3.0. Compared to the gravitational waves that have caused a sensation in the world, most people may not even know this thing, but this is the closest human being has ever been to God.

With 473 genes, it contains the minimum number of genes necessary to sustain life. At the same time, it is the simplest living body that humans can currently make.

As for the third place, the modified pdms film that solves the lithium dendrite has appeared on the list without dispute.

This is undoubtedly a remarkable achievement for the material science community that has not experienced a "major breakthrough" for many years. At the same time, "the seventh line of the Periodic Table of the Chemical Elements is filled" was selected. This year's chemical industry is full of spirits.

Also on the list is Google's Alpha Dog, a final learning system built by combining Monte Carlo decision tree algorithms and deep neural network algorithms, making it a well-deserved master in the field of artificial intelligence.

As well as breakthroughs in space exploration technology, the seeds that humans have sprinkled into space are gradually germinating ...

These research results are ranked in no particular order. After all, achievements in different fields cannot be compared horizontally.

However, this is said in name, but in fact, the rankings given by Science each year reflect the subjective opinions of journal editors to a certain extent.

According to the list given by Science, many people on the Internet are speculating that with this outstanding research result, Lu Zhou may hope to become the second mathematics to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry after John Pope. Family.

Of course, this is just the layman's point of view.

After all, the views of "Science" only represent "Science" and cannot represent the entire scientific community.

The Nobel Prize has a very strict criteria for the selection of outstanding results in the application field. As an outstanding achievement in the field of application, modified pdms materials are destined to be unable to act like gravitational waves. In the following year, the results were confirmed and immediately awarded the Nobel Prize.

Whether an application technology is great can take time to test.

But just like "father of artificial life" and the famous science madman Craig Venter, if one day the Nobel Committee truly awarded the chemistry prize to Lu Zhou, no one would be surprised.

After all, the problem of lithium dendrites has really plagued the entire material science community for decades.

As for another major event that happened at the beginning of the year, Chuanpu issued a declaration of inauguration at the White House.

But this has nothing to do with Princeton, and it is not a world thing with the land boat that is not interested in politics.

...

In the second week after New Year's Day, Professor Lu gave his students a long vacation.

One is to make up for the winter vacation owed to them, and the other is that until New Year's Eve on the 27th, he will be busy and have no time to take care of them.

Regarding this hard-won long vacation, Qin Yue said that he would go home to celebrate the New Year, while Hardy said happily that he planned to travel to the Mediterranean with his girlfriend. For this ignorant student, Lu Zhou restrained the urge to let him see something like "winter vacation homework" and smiled and nodded to wish him a happy play.

As for Willa, when Lu Zhou asked her about her holiday arrangements, the little girl might not have thought about what she was doing, but she looked blank.

Looking at this pair of Willa, Lu Zhou sighed.

If it's someone else, he might suggest going back and seeing the parents, reuniting with the family, relaxing or something.

But her words ...

He could only find something meaningful for her to do.

After thinking about it, Lu Zhou said, "Mathematics is a subject that needs inspiration. It's just a book management. The end result is likely to bring itself into a misunderstanding of thinking. This spring, the American Mathematical Society has a scene at Berkeley. The exchange meeting with the young scholars, the paper you showed me last time was pretty good, and I suggest you try to submit it. "

When she heard that she was going to come to the stage to make a report, the little girl was suddenly flustered and said nervously, "I ... I haven't come to the stage to make a report."

"No one is born, you have to learn to adapt," Lu Zhou said in her eyes, and said seriously, "if you are worried about the toll, you don't have to worry at all, registration fees, air tickets and everything else on the road You can spend it from the project funding. But if you just do n’t dare to step on the stage, I hope you can overcome it. Believe me, this is for your good. ”

Among her three students, Vera had the highest talent, and Lu Zhou had the highest expectations for her.

One day she will stand on a stage like the International Mathematical Congress and show her research results in the form of a 45-minute or one-hour report. If she can't get on the stage just because she is frightened, she will never become a world-class scholar. .

Hearing the phrase "I'm doing it for you", Vera's cheeks were slightly red and she was at a loss.

After waiting for a long time without waiting for a reply, I didn't plan to leave her a retreat, and continued to ask.

"What is your answer?"

"……Ok."

Although there is some lack of momentum, it can be considered a small improvement.

Leaning on the office chair, Lu Zhou nodded with satisfaction, barely calculating that she was qualified.

"Then go to the preparation. There are three days left for the deadline. You do n’t use it here in the office, and you need to change your paper carefully. I will help you with the ticket issue, just sign up ~ www .wuxiaspot.com ~ Just decided to help her semi-forcedly, Lu Zhou kicked her out of the office.

Stopping at the door of the office, Vera hesitated and turned around.

Taking note of Vera's utter expression, Lu Zhou asked casually, "Is there anything else?"

She lowered her head slightly, and the little girl smiled a little embarrassedly: "Nothing, I just want to thank you ... no one has ever cared about me so much before."

Just this?

Lu Zhou rightly said, "You're welcome, after all, I'm your mentor."

...

After finishing the matter of Princeton, Lu Zhou drove his Ford Explorer that afternoon, went to Philadelphia, and came to the office building of Star Technology's North American branch.

I have to admit that the service of am firm is really satisfying, not only solving all the problems he can think of, but even helping him to solve the problems that he has not thought of yet.

Of course, the charges are not cheap.

Because the office is still being renovated, there is nothing to see here except the decoration materials and cardboard boxes stacked on the ground.

After turning around, Lu Zhou left the office building and returned to the car.

I came here to visit the company just to satisfy his curiosity. The main purpose of his visit to Philadelphia this time was not to meet this person, but to meet a person, that is, the consultant that am firm contacted him.

The other is said to be a professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and an expert with a doctorate in business administration and a doctorate in international trade.

Although the relevant plans and plans have been prepared, those things on paper are not enough. Some things have to be interviewed to make it clear.

At the request of this expert, Lu Zhou and her agreed a meeting time and planned to talk face to face.
