Chapter 230: People are in London and are returning
London, Oxford University.
Zhou Xiangnan has already packed his luggage and booked his flight tickets.
Including his master's degree, he stayed in London for a total of five years. He suddenly had to return to China, and there were many things that he couldn't take back. In the past, he could sell them to junior students from China. In the past two years, especially this year, it is said that people applying to study abroad have
There are fewer and fewer domestic students here...
Well, this is normal. We are all engaged in scientific research. We know that now, whether it is materials or computers, there are a lot of fierce ones in China. Everyone rushes back, except for a few who are deeply ingrained in superstition about overseas rankings.
Who among those people will come out?
After everything was ready, he drove out and knocked on the door of Ezio's office.
"Doireann." Professor Ezio was discussing something with the students. When he saw Zhou Xiangnan entering, he waved: "You're just in time. We are considering realizing a new crystal. Do you want to join us?"
Zhou Xiangnan smiled sheepishly: "Professor, I may not have time, I have a flight tonight."
"Huh?" Professor Ezio was slightly startled and looked at him in surprise.
In the past two years, he and Zhou Xiangnan have gotten along quite well. He knows that this young man is quite talented in experiments, and is currently making great strides in the field of chip semiconductors - in this field of experimental materials, as long as you are good at it,
Then the probability of results will naturally be high.
In the past two years, Zhou Xiangnan has published several materials in top journals. If his supervisor hadn't needed his help in completing the project, he would have graduated with a doctorate last year.
"Are you going back to China?"
"Yes." Zhou Xiangnan held the car key and breathed out softly: "I have applied for a postdoc at the Provincial Brain Computer Center."
Professor Ezio suddenly fell silent.
As we all know, the Provincial Brain Science Center has become a new mecca for materials science.
It would undoubtedly be bright to be able to apply for a postdoc there to do research.
After a while, he sighed softly: "If you can enter the brain-computer center, it's still possible."
"Yeah, I'm going back to hug my thighs." Zhou Xiangnan joked: "Come over then, so I can receive you conveniently."
Professor Ezio chuckled, and after a few seconds of silence he shook his head: "Go back, I hope you will achieve better honors in the province."
"Thank you, Professor. Then...goodbye, Professor...thank you for taking care of me these past few years."
"Well, you're welcome. I just did what a professor should do." After a pause, Professor Ezio looked at him: "You will also be a professor in the future..."
Professor Ezio did not finish what he said, but the implication was clear.
Zhou Xiangnan smiled and nodded.
Afterwards, he went to meet his tutor and several other professors with whom he got along well. It was not until 5 p.m. that he returned the car and rushed to the airport.
While waiting for the flight, he took out his mobile phone and opened Zhihu.
In the past two years, he has been busy with academics and rarely answers questions on Zhihu. He only occasionally shares some of his daily life in his thoughts after experiments.
But if he doesn’t express it, he doesn’t know the direction of Zhihu.
After all... he can still be considered a big V with 200,000 fans - oh no, it's already over 300,000 now.
On a platform as powerful as Zhihu, the number of CNS posts you make is directly related to the number of fans you have.
If you also know some skills in writing articles and can avoid some obvious pitfalls, then this index will be even higher.
Over the past year, especially over the past six months, he has felt it keenly.
The "momentum" in China is somewhat different.
And everything that happened this month proved his suspicion.
Zhou Xiangnan looked at the top-searched question.
"What do you think about the global controllable nuclear fusion conference that my country's Kuafu project team will hold on June 27? What impact will this have on the global energy pattern?"
Zhihu, which is well versed in traffic, has also rearranged another question that had already dropped from the top of the hot search list - "What do you think of the CA Alliance's announcement to hold the Global Quantum Computer Conference and Semiconductor Conference from June 26 to 28?"
Summit?”
Looking further, the top ten questions are all about hot topics such as "future bill", "semiconductor industry" and "strong artificial intelligence".
Zhou Xiangnan clicked on the first question.
Obviously, this question has only been a hot search topic not long ago by the Zhihu editor, and there are not many serious answers yet.
Hmm...it's normal. After all, this problem is both professional and big...
If it's just emotional output or simply being clever, then it's naturally simple.
For example, the answer with the most likes right now is——
"It's your turn now, Swift."
"Bread or firewood, that is the question."
"Don't worry, they will choose with their feet."
But it is actually difficult to write high-quality answers.
After a few seconds of silence, Zhou Xiangnan checked the time and then clicked on the answer box.
"I'm in London, waiting for my flight back home."
"The above sentence is not a joke, it is a fact."
Zhou Xiangnan held a corner of the ticket and took a photo in the lobby.
"Although this question is about controllable nuclear fusion, I would like to answer it from the perspective of materials field and scientific research, which can be regarded as an introduction to the topic."
"Some people may still remember the sensation when Professor Ye Ming's first Nature paper came out two years ago. At that time, I was also the first material worker to reappear on Zhihu, and I even started a live broadcast at that time."
"Fortunately, I completed the reproduction as soon as possible, which also laid the foundation for my future research direction."
"In the past two years, the field of materials has made leaps and bounds. Especially in the past year, it has advanced by leaps and bounds. Domestic materials science has reached the forefront of the world, and the province has become a holy land of materials science."
"The reason, apart from Ye Shen stealing fire, the most important reason is actually Aita."
"If Hybrid Chip is the fire, ETA is the gasoline - the kind that never runs out."
"Since this year, I have clearly felt that the application of Aita in various domestic fields has accelerated, except for Sita robots, in addition to traditional network and AI fields such as enterprise management. In the field of scientific research, especially in the field of computing materials, I have been greatly benefited."
"I think the same is true in the field of controlled nuclear fusion."
"All of us underestimated Aita's capabilities as the world's only strong AI."
"So, this passage can actually answer the question next door - how do you view the CA Alliance's Quantum Computing Conference?"
"According to me, the only option is for them to wash up and go to bed early."
"As for why the time for controlled nuclear fusion is scheduled for the 27th?"
"you guess?"
A smile appeared on Zhou Xiangnan's lips.
After checking it again, I clicked send.
Later, the flight arrived.
He took one last look at the airport lobby and walked to the boarding gate.
