Chapter 58 [Light of India]

After eating, go back to the office.

"Raj, what project are you and Howard working on? It's still a mystery, and you don't want me to know." Peggy asked curiously.

"This is really a secret for the time being." Xiang Nan smiled, "It's not specifically targeting you, but keeping it a secret from anyone."

"The confidentiality factor is so high?!" Peggy said in surprise, "Aren't you guys working on a time machine?"

"Of course it's impossible." Xiang Nan laughed. "The time machine is full of logical paradoxes. Unless it is a god who can ignore logic, no one can create it."

Then he waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't ask more. When I can let you know, I will definitely tell you. When you shouldn't know, I won't tell you if you ask me." He waved his hands and smiled.

Hearing what he said, Peggy became even more curious. She blinked her eyes at Xiang Nan and asked coquettishly, "Are you really willing to tell me?"

Xiang Nan shook his head firmly.

"Disgusting! Even if you want to tell me now, I don't want to know."

Xiang Nan smiled slightly.

After returning from the Geneva expedition, the relationship between them went further, and Peggy was much more lively and lovely than before.

In other words, she was originally a lively and lovely girl, but only after she suffered a family accident that year, did she freeze layers of herself.

……

Xiang Nan didn't celebrate Christmas at all.

On the one hand, he is not American, nor does he believe in Christianity, and naturally he does not specifically celebrate.

For one thing, his friends don't like to celebrate either.

Leonard has had a shadow about Christmas since he was a child.

Because when their family celebrates Christmas, they do not send gifts to each other, but each of them writes an essay on "the significance of the festival to human society".Then group discussions and grade each other, and he can only get a "C" each time.

Howard is Jewish, but Christmas is Hanukkah.He also invited Xiang Nan, Peggy, Penny, Leonard and others to go to his house for the festival, but they were all unanimously rejected.

Peggy doesn't like Christmas either.She has been separated from her parents since childhood, and Christmas is a time for family reunion.So every Christmas is a sad day for her, not worth celebrating at all.

Therefore, Xiang Nan did not hold a party, but spent it as if nothing had happened.

……

After Christmas, the new year, [-], soon arrived.

At the beginning of the new year, Xiang Nan, Howard, and Leslie started the development of the prototype of the quantum navigation system.

In the name of researching superfluid, they applied for a start-up grant, and then manufactured it according to the previous design.

Among them, the most contribution is Howard.As an engineer, he is responsible for machining parts, assembling equipment, and building prototypes from scratch.

Seeing this prototype gradually come to reality from paper, Xiang Nan, Howard, and Leslie were also excited.

"In another month at most, our prototype can be made." Howard said happily.

"That's really great. So many days of hard work have finally paid off." Leslie said happily.

They have been busy for three months for this, sacrificing the rest time at night, leisure time on weekends and holidays, and spent countless energy, physical strength, and brain cells, and now they finally see the results.

"Don't be too happy for the two of you, I need to be more clear here." Xiang Nan coughed softly, "Now is the critical moment for the development of the prototype, and the more critical the moment, the more careful you must be.

Each of us must keep our mouths shut, and we are not allowed to leak a word to outsiders except the three of us.Otherwise, once the news comes out, our efforts will likely be in vain. "

Leslie and Howard were stunned, then nodded.

"The other day, Leonard saw me with you all day, and quietly asked me what project I was working on. Fortunately, I didn't tell him at the time." Leslie said in fear.

"Yes, although Leonard is our friend, it is not appropriate to tell him at the moment." Xiang Nan nodded.

Leonard is a good man and very talented, and Xiang Nan likes him very much.But it's a pity that he has Sheldon by his side, and that's a troublemaker.

Once provoked, that's incredible.

Shelton has no sense of teamwork, secrecy or enamel.According to Leonard, "He's the bad guy who escaped from the villain's lab."

If he knew about the project, he would definitely try to sabotage it.At that time, all their hard work will be in vain, so they have to guard against it.

……

After the new year, in addition to being busy making quantum navigation systems, Xiang Nan also took the time to create three papers, "Evidence for the decay of the 125 GeV Higgs boson into a pair of tau leptons" and "Large Hadron Collider". The left-right symmetry and the charged Higgs boson", "Heavy quark mass effect in the production of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider", etc., continue to score points for themselves.

The launch of these papers has added brightness to the aura of Xiang Nan's academic star.

It made him not only the darling of the Department of Physics at Caltech, but also a well-known young talent in the field of physics in the world.

Even Raj's home country, India, covered him heavily, proud of his achievements.

The title of the individual report and the degree of shame made Xiang Nan feel a little ashamed.

For example, Dr. Kusapali, the chosen son of God, under the guidance of God, successively discovered the second earth, the God particle that constitutes all things. 》

"The Light of India, Discover the God Particle! ", "The pride of all India, Dr. Kusapali, who is superior in wisdom, solves the millennium physics problem! "and many more.

These reports have made Xiang Nan's popularity in India soar.A number of top Indian universities, such as Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi University, and Nehru University, have sent him invitations to give lectures.

There are even many colleges and universities that have hired Xiang Nan as a visiting professor.As long as he gives a few lectures every year, he can get an annual salary of [-] US dollars, and the round-trip air tickets, hotels, etc. are reimbursed.

However, Xiang Nan was busy with research on quantum navigation systems, and politely declined these invitations.

Even so, his reputation in India remains undiminished.

And this also brought great glory to the Kusapali family, making the Kusapali couple very happy.

"Rajesh, you have done a great job for your family." Dr. Kusapali praised.

"Raj, MAMA has long known that you are a good boy with ability, and you did not disappoint me." Mrs. Kusapali also praised.

"Thank you PAPA, thank you MAMA." Xiang Nan also smiled.

"Rajesh, in order to reward you, Dad decided to give you a Maserati." Dr. Kusapali said again.

"PAPA, I drive this BMW very smoothly now, so I don't need to change the car." Xiang Nan quickly refused.

"Well, then I'll give you the money, you can buy whatever you like." Dr. Kusapali smiled.
