Seeing a boy stand up in front of Qi Yumo with apologetic expressions on his face, silently pick up his computer and leave, Ye Ming was a little confused.
"Have I been rejected when I confessed my love to you?"
"...I said I occupied a seat here." Qi Yumo coughed lightly and lowered his voice: "It's my first time doing something like this. I'm so embarrassed."
"puff……!"
Ye Ming laughed and quickly closed his mouth.
The two people laughed silently.
In the first half of the year, when they were still freshmen, they didn't even talk when they came to the library. They relied on writing to communicate.
It’s been less than a year…
"You still need to improve your quality." Qi Yumo picked up the pen and quickly wrote on the scratch paper: "Are you planning to interview me today?"
"Hey! Let's go, talk as we go."
"...It's so unkind, that's why I drove others away..." Qi Yumo glared, then looked back at the freshmen wandering around the bookshelf not far away. After thinking about it, she stood up.
Ye Ming saw her walking in front of the boy, probably to apologize, but pointed at the location anyway.
…
The two of them walked side by side on campus. Once there is no sun in the provincial capital in early winter, it feels a bit cold. Some students who don't care about their image have even put on down jackets...
"First of all, congratulations - it is said that the school will reward you one million?" Qi Yumo still hugged the bag to his chest, with little stars in his eyes.
"Well, theoretically yes...but the actual result is zero."
"Ah? Why?"
"After listening to the persuasion of Old Tang and Old Chen, I accidentally agreed to invest money in Jizhi Technology." Ye Ming shook his head with some annoyance: "I should pay a down payment."
Qi Yumo was stunned for a moment, then went crazy: "Boss, are you considering buying a house now? Are you still buying it in the provincial capital?"
“Otherwise, where can I buy it?”
"It's not a question of where to buy...it's a matter of why you want to buy a house..." Qi Yumo said after holding back for a long time: "Are you in a hurry to get a wife?"
"..."
"Mainly, I need a house."
"Then you rent it."
Ye Ming sighed and changed the topic: "It's better if the property rights are your own. Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's go to the canteen."
He wanted to buy a house mainly because in the past two months, Eta had been designing and perfecting the automatic assembly line that Jizhi Technology was about to promote for him, that is, the smart factory solution. After completing the design, Eta wanted Ye Ming to also give it to him.
She came up with a whole set to "play".
If you say "play", you will definitely not be able to impress Ye Ming.
But if we say that this is ETA's way of accumulating experience for being responsible for the entire smart factory in the future, then it is very necessary.
And with the improvement of the complete set of solutions for smart factories, including the robotic arm solution, JiZhi Technology is also preparing to recruit troops and take a big step - of course, if a company run by a professor wants to solve the "labor force", it must start from the school.
As for the salary, of course it is not better than that of a social enterprise, but it is certainly much higher than that of a work-study program like working in a restaurant.
Qi Yumo still covets this kind of opportunity, so she would jokingly ask if he was here to interview her.
Walking towards the small canteen, there were not many people on the second floor at this time, so the two of them were able to find a good seat and sit down.
Turning on the computer, Ye Ming first checked the email, then silently calculated the time difference with London, and then began to reply to the email.
While writing in English, he muttered: "One day, we must let foreigners adapt to WeChat or QQ."
"Huh? Are you chatting with a foreigner? Are you using Skype?" Qi and Mo also turned on the computer. After hearing this, they stood up and sat next to Ye Ming.
"No, I use email." Ye Ming moved the computer to the side and explained for her with a smile: "Ezio, Ezio, a laboratory director at the British National Composite Materials Center, is quite famous in the field of materials.
It's... well, it's quite famous on arxiv."
Qi and Mo complimented each other very well: "How famous are you?"
"He really likes to slap people in the face. My experiment... He was the first to reproduce it in a foreign laboratory." A hint of pride appeared on the corner of Ye Ming's mouth: "And it just happened that he was also my experiment."
I am a peer reviewer for this paper, so that’s why my paper passed so quickly.”
"It's really fast. I heard from people that if it comes to nature, you won't be sure even if you go back and forth for a year."
"The main thing is the results..." Ye Ming chuckled: "It is indeed phenomenal."
Hearing this, Qi Yumo narrowed his eyes and hummed softly: "But there are still people who say that our school is creating gods."
"Huh? Where are you talking about?"
"What do you think? BF."
Ye Ming was dumbfounded: "I don't look at these."
"But... I saw it, it's so annoying!" Qi Yumo turned the notebook over, and as soon as he opened the Zhihu page, he saw the message reminder of 99.
"Wow, is this the boss's trick?"
Qi and Mo immediately clicked on the message, and then clicked on the answer they had just given.
I saw that in just a short period of time, there were more than 80 likes, and there were dozens of comments.
She commented excitedly.
——If the respondent is Ye Ming's ACM teammate, he will also be the ACM regional champion. The champion will have one.
——The boss of the ACM championship team is a little transparent on Zhihu. Is he still so idle?
——Please discuss the subject matter and answer how this undergraduate genius from 211 University subverted quantum mechanics.
——After taking a look at the paper, with all due respect, I only saw a strong flavor of folk science and material metaphysics.
——The respondent will explain why this genius prodigy ended up in a school with a score of 620, and then suddenly made great efforts in undergraduate studies and became a "god" across the three fields of physics, materials, and computer science.
Someone replied with a laughing emoji: Maybe he was abducted by aliens.
Someone else replied: Maybe he traveled back in time. Didn’t they say that quantum mechanics was subverted? Didn’t they also say that there are parallel universes and high-dimensional universes?
What if we are aliens?
——As for the respondent, please come out and take a few steps, so that we can also see the aliens.
Finally, there was an answer: You people have the guts to complain to Nature, and have the guts to ask Nature to retract the manuscript! Why are you here so weird?
——Are there too many people who have fooled Nature and then had their papers retracted? Let me tell you, CNS is the first in the world for retractions in China! I’m ashamed of myself!
…
Qi Yumo's face instantly darkened.
She took a few breaths and slid her fingertips on the touchpad, but accidentally clicked on "View all answers".
Then the screen jumped to the answer with the most likes.
This is a big blue V respondent named Doireann.
The certification information is Harvard Ph.D. in Materials and Engineering.
"Let's see what this says." Ye Ming said with great interest.
Before, he had remained calm and smiling, as if those comments that were obviously unkind were directed at someone else.
Qi Yumo nodded slightly.
"It's related to the field. I just finished moving bricks with my tutor and have read the masterpiece. I can only say that I can't understand it, but I was shocked."
It was followed by a long-circulated picture directed by Ang Lee.
"I'm just kidding, I can definitely understand it. The paper is really written at an undergraduate level, just like a lab report."
"With the mentality that people can't be idle, just before writing this answer, I just gave up my two-month vacation from moving bricks and stayed up all night to do a replication experiment. Maybe it's not good enough, or maybe it's not good enough.
I didn’t realize the power from higher dimensions. In short, it’s a pity that I couldn’t successfully reproduce it.”
"Because polymer materials are not my major, I dare not comment too much, but the Internet has memory and pillars."
"But no matter what, being able to publish papers back to back, I still have deep respect for this domestic undergraduate master."
"But if you want to ask me about my attitude, I can only say, let the bullets fly for a while."
…
Qi and Mo bit their lips and glanced at Ye Ming secretly.
I saw Ye Ming frowning slightly.
"What is this person's attitude?" she asked carefully.
"A weird attitude." Ye Ming quickly relaxed his brows, and smiled slightly after a moment: "You said something back to him."
"Okay!" Qi Yumo immediately put their hands on the keyboard: "How to argue?!"
"Well... just ask him whether the number of electrodes or the array method are strictly in accordance with the paper, and whether he has modified the frequency on his own initiative."
Qi and Mo typed loudly: "Then what?"
"Gone."
"Why don't you confront him?"
"Why are you arguing..." Ye Ming chuckled: "This kind of thing... It's really hard to accept this kind of thing...as long as you don't see it with your own eyes."
"But isn't respecting facts the most basic scientific literacy?" Qi Yumo said angrily: "I can understand the paper. Your material was born under your theory, but it is incompatible with the existing theory. Then what should I do?
Isn’t it obvious that doubt is the existing theory?”
"You think it's obvious because you believe me..."
"No, even if I don't believe you, I still have to believe the facts!"
"The fact is...scientific literacy is not something everyone has."
Ye Ming smiled and looked at his computer.
After a while, Ezio sent another email.
——If I enter the country now, do you still need to be in compulsory quarantine?
…
London.
Ezio had his legs crossed on the table, holding a burger in his hand.
It's 10 a.m. London time, and what he's having is breakfast.
In his opinion, the hamburger is definitely the greatest invention, bar none.
In one bite, you have carbohydrates, plant protein, animal protein, and fat... It is really the most perfect food.
I haven’t responded to the two emails I sent…
Ezio thought for a moment, found a phone book from the drawer, and flipped through several pages before finding a phone number.
Looking at the number, he thought about it for a few seconds. After confirming that his memory was correct, he picked up the phone and dialed the number.
The phone rang twice and was immediately connected.
"Hello, this is Doireann."
"Hello, Doireann, my name is Ezio. I was your materials science teacher in the past few years." Ezio said to the phone with a smile.
Since he wanted to save money and take a look there, he naturally wanted to inquire about the situation there. This Doireann came from China to study abroad, so asking in advance would be a precaution.
When I heard him announcing his home address, I was immediately surprised on the phone: "Hello, Professor Ezio!"
"Well, hello, I would like to ask, how do you Chinese people like to communicate on the Internet?" Ezio said with a smile: "I know, it's definitely not email."
