I am devoted to scientific research, but you want to trick me into having a love relationship?

Chapter 775 Brother-in-law, your car looks pretty sturdy.
11 month 27 day.

As the first snow of winter arrives, snowflakes flutter and fall, covering the eaves of red walls and green tiles, the lake stone paths and ancient trees. The vermilion railings and black tiles of Shuchun Garden are silhouetted against the wind and snow.

After finishing his class, Xu Qingzhou left the science building and headed straight for the mathematics department.

This semester, he continued to teach the Riemann Hypothesis.

As time went by, fewer tourists came to his classes, but thanks to the Nobel Prize and Fields Medal, the lecture hall remained packed.

Song Yao invited Song Lulu to her house for dinner. Song Lulu had just sent a message saying she was going back to her dorm and would be there in 20 minutes. He was just going to Professor Gu's place to have a cup of tea.

At the gate of the School of Mathematics, Xu Qingzhou stamped his foot, brushed the snowflakes off his shoulder, and bumped into an old acquaintance as soon as he stepped inside: Professor Jiao Mingwu, his former teacher of advanced algebra.

"Professor Xu," the old professor greeted with a smile.

"Professor Jiao, are you on your way to class?"

"Yes, it's the first year of advanced algebra."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Professor Jiao took his teacup and headed to the lecture hall at the end of the first-floor corridor.

As soon as Professor Jiao entered the classroom, a student eagerly asked, "Professor, was that Professor Xu who just passed by?"

"Ah."

Professor Jiao nodded with a smile.

"Wow, it's Professor Xu! Is it too late to go out and get his autograph?" Someone tilted their head and looked out the window.

"He's already left. This is the first time I've seen Professor Xu in person. He's much more handsome than on TV."

"Oh, you haven't seen him before? Professor Xu teaches a course on the Riemann Hypothesis and comes to the school every week," someone said.

"No, I was planning to audit a class last week, but we already had classes."

The students below the stage were whispering among themselves.

The school bell rang.

"Alright, let's start class. I left you a problem last week. Raise your hand if you can solve it."

Professor Jiao glanced around and saw everyone looking at each other blankly. He took a sip of tea, put down his cup, and said, "If you were even a tenth as good as Professor Xu, would I need to worry about you all like this?"

one tenth
The students below the stage were speechless. If this big shot had even a tenth of his talent, would he still need to sit here and attend class? He would have already taken off.

These retired professors often refer to "Professor Xu XXX" as a former professor.

There's simply no comparison between them.

Professor Xu is a god; they are just ordinary mortals.

"This problem requires some knowledge of matrix inversion and rank calculation." Professor Jiao tapped the blackboard and, without wasting any time, began explaining the problem.

In the past, we would pose some difficult questions to cool down the newly enrolled students, reminding them not to think that just because they got into Peking University, they were amazing, and that there are always people more capable than themselves.

Now we don't need to go through all that trouble; we can just throw out Xu Qingzhou's thesis from his freshman year.

Look, this is a paper that your Professor Xu wrote when he was a freshman.

The effect is very good.

office.

"What a rare guest! Please come in."

Gu Zhizhong saw that Xu Qingzhou had already gotten up to make tea.

Xu Qingzhou didn't stand on ceremony with Gu Zhizhong. After sitting down, he said, "I've been so busy lately. Today I'm a little free, so I came over to have a cup of tea."

In six years, professors like Gu Zhizhong and Jiao Mingwu have gained many more gray hairs at their temples.

Sitting in this office, Xu Qingzhou occasionally felt a sense of disbelief. It was here that Professor Gu helped him review his papers back in 2014.

Before long, the office was filled with the pleasant aroma of tea. After pouring tea for Xu Qingzhou, Gu Zhizhong asked with a smile, "You should be attending the National Science and Technology Awards Conference in December, right?"

"Yes, I'm going."

Xu Qingzhou nodded. The award ceremony will be held on the 3rd of next month, and the five major awards presented at the ceremony include the State Supreme Science and Technology Award, the State Natural Science Award, the State Technological Invention Award, the International Science and Technology Cooperation Award, and the State Science and Technology Progress Award.

This is definitely a grand event for the science and technology community in Xia Kingdom.

"It would be best if we could win an award," Gu Zhizhong said with some anticipation.

"I'll let things take their course. I didn't do research just for awards."

Xu Qingzhou didn't care. He was actually curious about what award he would receive this time. Given what he had accomplished in the past two years, it would be strange if he didn't receive any.

Of course, curiosity aside, just as he doesn't care whether he can publish a paper in Nature, he doesn't need awards to prove himself.

The results to date speak for themselves.

As I said before, these awards are just icing on the cake.

"You have a better attitude than us."

Gu Zhizhong chuckled. What he admired most about Xu Qingzhou was his composure; even after achieving world-renowned success, he still maintained a childlike heart.

He took a sip of tea, then thought of something else: "Didn't you say you wanted to set up an advanced research institute? When are you going to start planning that?"

"We already have some ideas, and we might start in the next few months, but this isn't something that can be done in a day or two. We need to be fully prepared first."

Xu Qingzhou said helplessly.

The Institute for Advanced Studies will integrate the existing Institute of Materials Science, AI Computing Research Center, and other facilities, and will also add a base for mathematics and physics research.

It needs to be implemented comprehensively, involving many fields.

"Yeah, you guys are probably so busy right now that you don't even have time to rest."

After spending about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea with Gu Zhizhong, Xu Qingzhou guessed that Song Lulu would arrive soon, so he said goodbye to Gu Zhizhong and went to the parking lot.

Liu Bin was already waiting by the car.

As soon as Xu Qingzhou reached the car, he saw a girl running towards him through the wind and snow, calling out, "Brother-in-law."

"Slow down, don't fall."

"I'm wearing thick clothes, so it won't hurt if I fall."

Song Lulu took off her hat and looked at Liu Bin, who was standing straight. She was a little curious and thought to herself, "It's been a while since I last saw my brother-in-law. He already has a driver."

Liu Bin dutifully opened the car door for the two of them.

"Brother-in-law, you got a new car?" Song Lulu looked around the car. Although it didn't look as luxurious as her family's Maybach S680, it gave off a calm and sophisticated feeling.

“Yes, it’s the car that’s assigned to it.” Xu Qingzhou nodded.

"It looks very sturdy."

Song Lulu commented that its appearance gives people a sense of heaviness.

Liu Bin drove the car smoothly out of the southeast gate of Peking University. Although his expression didn't change much, he smiled inwardly. This car was more than just sturdy.

This vehicle is equipped with a state-of-the-art armor system, using submarine-grade composite armor steel plates with a maximum thickness of 90mm, combined with a ceramic layer and aramid fiber, which can withstand the impact of rockets and anti-tank mine explosions.

In addition, there is an automatically sealed cabin that can activate an independent oxygen supply system to filter toxic gases and biochemical pollutants.

The fuel tank is also specially designed so that it will not catch fire even if it is punctured.

Moreover, the vehicle's engine and interior are also equipped with corresponding fire suppression systems.

The total cost of the vehicle has exceeded 1200 million yuan, and it's still the kind that has a price but no market.
