Chapter 14 [The lesser of two evils]

Hearing what Xiang Nan said, Howard thought about it and thought it made sense.

Sheldon is indeed arrogant, always putting himself first.

Whenever someone surpasses him, be it a friend or a competitor, he becomes very unhappy.

When Leonard collaborated with him on supersolid research, Sheldon insisted on being the first author on the paper.

Howard can imagine that once Sheldon joins the project, he will rush to be the leader and rightly treat the others as subordinates.

At that time, even if there is a result, he will definitely grab the credit.Others have worked hard for nothing, but in the end they have nothing.

"You're right, we can't cooperate with Sheldon." Howard nodded vigorously, "What about Leonard, do you want him to join?"

"Not for now. You haven't seen it yet, Leonard is Sheldon's slave. As long as Leonard joins, Sheldon will definitely know." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

"Leonard is not as bad as you said." Howard frowned and said suspiciously.

"Why not? Leonard is in charge of driving Sheldon, getting food, delivering to the doctor, shopping, taking care of everything in his life. That's what slaves do.

And Sheldon controls Leonard's life, entertainment, work, love, and even the timing of his bowel movements.Honestly, that's wider than a slave supervisor. "Xiang Nan helped him analyze.

Howard blinked, feeling that he was right.

Sheldon does have Leonard so tight that it affects both of them.

For example, because Sheldon is afraid of the sun, they can't play outdoors in summer; because Sheldon is domineering, they can't sit in his special seat; because Sheldon drinks cold drinks too fast, causing headaches, many times they watch half of the movie, and they Forced to leave with him...

Not to mention that Sheldon also helped them customize the recipe, and eat according to the recipe every week, and the pattern can't be changed.

In this way, Leonard really cannot join.

He was more influenced by Sheldon, and there was no difference between him joining and Sheldon joining.

"However, can only the two of us do it? You're just an astrophysicist, and I'm just an engineer." Howard said worriedly.

"Let's try it first, it really doesn't work, let's find a way." Xiang Nan nodded.

He admitted that the two of them couldn't conquer the world, and they would definitely encounter many problems during the research and development process.

But the car must have a way to the front of the mountain. He didn't want to do anything, so he retreated first.

Moreover, the lesser of two evils.He would rather have a slower pace of research and development than Sheldon would come in and mess around, leaving everyone busy in the end.

"OK!" Howard also nodded.

……

Afterwards, Xiang Nan and Howard joined the real estate agency and looked at a few houses.

In the end, he chose to rent a one-bedroom, one-bedroom apartment at 6175 York Road.

It is about ten kilometers away from Caltech. If you drive, you can get there in only 10 minutes.The transportation is very convenient.

Moreover, it is surrounded by convenience stores, gas stations, fast food restaurants, museums, parks, etc., and the supporting facilities are also very complete.

The most important thing is that the public security environment here is relatively good, and the apartment has an access control system, which can ensure the personal and property safety of the residents.

Therefore, after a comprehensive comparison, Xiang Nan decided to choose it as his new home.

Its rent is also relatively cheap, only $[-] for one bedroom and one living room, which is much cheaper than renting a house before.

Xiang Nan then signed the contract and paid the rent and deposit.Renting here in the United States is a mortgage one pay one.

After choosing a house, Xiang Nan began to move.

Leonard and Howard were both caught by him.

"I want to accompany my mother to the water aerobics class, but I really can't help you." Howard declined.

"There is a problem with my computer, I need to reinstall the system." Leonard also refused.

Neither of them like sports, not to mention the tiring thing of moving.

"If anyone helps me move, I'll give him the limited-edition Green Lantern Energy Lamp and the Hulk Gloves signed by Stan Lee." Xiang Nan smiled slightly.

"When I think about it, I seem to have misremembered the time of my mother's class. She should be going tomorrow." Howard immediately changed his tune.

"I also don't think there is any need to rush to reinstall the system." Leonard immediately changed his words.

"You two are really bad friends." Xiang Nan rolled his eyes and said.

It took three people and two cars to move for a day, and finally they moved almost.

And some large luggage, such as refrigerators, ovens, air conditioners, etc., are cleared and transported by the moving company.

After everything was done, Xiang Nan went through the check-out procedure with the original landlord and got his deposit back.

The move is over.

……

"The house I lived in was good before, why did you suddenly change it? This house is not as good as your original one." Penny asked curiously.

"The monthly rent for that room was US$[-]. Although my father helped me pay the card bill, I don't think men should always rely on their parents," Xiang Nan explained.

Hearing what he said, Penny nodded, thinking it made sense.

She came to Hollywood from Omaha alone and without financial support from her family, but she persevered on her own.

"Haney, you say that, it makes me think you are very manly." Penny laughed.

"Thank you." Xiang Nan nodded.

……

On Monday, back at school, Xiang Nan completed the thesis "The Edgeworth-Keber Fragment Disk".

This paper, he has already written almost last week, only some verification work is left today.

After checking it, he sent the paper to a preprint server.

The reason for this is that, on the one hand, if a paper is submitted for publication according to the normal process, it will take several months for peer journal review alone.Publishing a paper on a preprint server only requires a day or two of screening.

The same research result, whoever publishes it first, belongs to whoever publishes it first.Therefore, in the field of scientific research, time is more important than money.

On the one hand, the open access nature of the preprint server allows more readers to read the paper, which in turn brings more popularity and fame.

Xiang Nan's purpose in writing this thesis is to make a name for himself. Naturally, the more people he sees, the better.

After finishing this paper, Xiang Nan began to study the "N-dimensional Superfluid Surface Tension Model" with Howard.

Once the research is successful, he and Howard can build a superfluid vortex model, and thus create a quantum navigation system and a quantum communication system.

Once these two new inventions are successfully developed, he and Howard can use them endlessly, and they will never have to worry about money for life.

So both of them are serious about it.Calculations began in the afternoon, and they continued to get off work until they got off work.
