Chapter 99: Are All Geniuses Like This?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Zhou planned on going back to school right after watching the movie. However, since Chen Yushan offered to buy him dinner, he decided to go.
There was still a while until dinner time, so the two found a Starbucks in Yida plaza and rested there.
After Chen Yushan ordered two cups of coffee, they sat at a corner of the cafe and bored, they bit the straws. She then asked, “What’ve you been doing lately?”
Lu Zhou replied, “I just finished the physics research project, so I’m not doing much these few days. How about you? How’s the graduate entrance exam preparation?”
Chen Yushan smirked and said proudly, “It’s going great!”
Lu Zhou looked at her in surprise, “So confident? What school are you applying to?”
“Yanjing University School of Business Administration! My goal is to have an MBA from Yanjing University and from the Wharton College of Business!”
“1+2 mode? Impressive. Then you’d have two degrees when you finished.”
Chen Yushan smiled proudly, “I’m pretty good, right?”
Although she was just kidding around, she still felt pretty good being complimented by the genius.
Lu Zhou, “Nice, nice. Is your mathematics okay though?”
It was better to go abroad to study, whether it was “1+2” or “1+1” or “2+2”. Generally, a university had cooperation projects with foreign institutions. One could get in with normal grades.
However, to enter the University of Yan was not as easy.
When Chen Yushan heard Lu Zhou doubting her mathematics, she was unhappy and argued, “My mathematics is good okay! It’s just that when I started to re-learn it, I forgot about some topics.”
Lu Zhou watched her argued and was amused as he blurted out, “Then let me test you. If in the case of L, it is a simple smooth closed curve. What are the properties of Cauchy points?”
Chen Yushan looked speechless.
“… Even though I don’t read a lot of mathematics textbooks, stop scamming me. This is complex analysis, right? I don’t study this.”
What?
I think she’s right.
Lu Zhou was embarrassed. He coughed and said, “Oh, my mistake. I’ll think of another question.”
Chen Yushan covered her ears and said, “I’m not listening! I’ve completed advanced algebra already! It’s enough!”
When Lu Zhou saw Chen Yushan’s overreaction, he was shocked. He thought, “We’re just chatting, why are you overreacting so much? It’s fine if you don’t want to listen…”
People around might misunderstand…
A couple sitting next to them looked at them.
Girl, “Are all geniuses like this in a relationship?”
Guy, “Nope, it looks like a genius and a dumb student is in a relationship… A little weird.”
The girl’s face lit up, “Wait a minute, is that guy… Lu Zhou? From the mathematics department?”
The guy looked at him and said, “F*ck me, it is! Then… It’s not a dumb student dating a genius, it’s a godly student dating a dumb student.”
The girl rubbed her chin and said, “Sounds pretty romantic when you put it like that.”
Lu Zhou: “…”
What does this mean?
A single guy can’t come to Starbucks?
Mind your own business!
When Chen Yushan heard their rude conversation, she blushed and with her jaws clenched, she angrily said, “I’m not a dumb student! My GPA is 4.7, goddamnit!”
…
It was the evening, and they were back on campus.
Since Lu Zhou had relaxed for the whole afternoon, he felt really comfortable. He did not even go back to his dorm. Instead, he went straight to the library.
The physics research project made him strongly interested in the research of carbon cluster materials. He found that using mathematical tools to solve practical problems was very intriguing.
It was like there was an unexplored gold mine, just waiting to be discovered by him.
Lu Zhou downloaded some theses into his computer and started to read them.
At this moment, he finally understood what the system meant by “your brain is too empty, learn more”.
If he had not read the long list of books that the system gave him, he would not be able to understand these theses, much rather the high tech information in the system database.
Over the next two weeks, Lu Zhou basically went back and forth between the library and his dorm.
Of course, when there were new samples coming out of the lab, he would still help to analyze data.
Since his last thesis, Brother Qian Zhongming and Liu Bo gained immense respect for Lu Zhou.
Every time Lu Zhou came into the lab to help them analyze Fourier infrared spectroscopy data, they said stuff like “Master Lu, please”, or “Master Lu, this way”. It even made Lu Zhou embarrassed.
When he was free, he would discuss carbon nanotubes with Brother Qian.
Lu Zhou found out that this guy was an “equipment freak”.
Whenever they talked about cutting-edge equipment, the guy would not stop talking. He would even talk about the lab tables.
It was still thanks to him that Lu Zhou had the opportunity to get access to such expensive and valuable equipment.
For example, in the next-door laboratory, the CVD vacuum atmosphere tube furnace was used to prepare carbon nanotubes. The carbon nanotubes used in the whole research institute were made from this equipment. The import price of this big guy was 100 grand, Euro.
Not only did they have production equipment of carbon nanotubes, but they also had the equipment for surface modification of carbon nanotubes. That equipment almost cost as much as a house.
Whenever Lu Zhou listened to Brother Qian bragged, he could not help but be impressed.
Not everyone could afford to do scientific research.
After learning that Lu Zhou was interested in the preparation of carbon nanotubes, Brother Qian acted as a reciprocating agent. From the “preparation of transition metal catalyst” to the “purification of carbon nanotubes”, he went over the entire process with Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou finally had the chance to see what the research project actually looked like in action.
Of course, he had to see it under an electron microscope.
With this, time quickly passed by, and soon, it was already the end of the month.
Finally, on the last day of November, a piece of good news came from the old campus lab…
