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

Chapter 776 I can perform the deadly scissor kick for you

"I heard you're working on a project to prepare lead isotope diluents with Professor He Rusong. How's that going?"

The preparation of lead isotope diluents is a national-level project that can provide precise research tools for the fields of geology, medicine, and environment.

The country relies heavily on imports in this area.

If Professor He Rusong's project succeeds, it will fill this gap.

"It's hard."

Song Lulu said with a bitter face, "I used to think I was quite talented, but after joining this project, I realized I'm like an idiot."

Aside from attending classes and going to the lab, Song Lulu was either in the library or on her way to the library.

There was no way around it, the pressure was too much, I didn't know anything, I felt like a useless piece of trash.

"I'm glad you have a clear understanding."

"Thank you, sister." Song Lulu subconsciously thought Xu Qingzhou was comforting her, but she quickly realized something was wrong. "Brother-in-law, what goes around comes around."

Xu Qingzhou stopped joking and said, "You're only a freshman, and it's normal to feel overwhelmed by a national-level project."

Xu Qingzhou encountered Professor Tang Shanze twice. Whenever Song Lulu was mentioned, Professor Tang Shanze became indignant, saying that he had originally been interested in Song Lulu, but Professor He was shameless and even resorted to underhanded tactics.

This girl is indeed talented.

"You can't empathize with that, can you?" Song Lulu pouted.

"That's the truth."

"Can we even talk?!"

The vehicle arrived at Xishan No. 1 Courtyard.

Liu Bin drove away. They had a special residence in the community where Xu Qingzhou lived, and security had been strengthened.

As Song Lulu watched the car disappear into the swirling snow, something suddenly occurred to her. "Brother-in-law, was that an armored car?"

"right"

"So, the driver we just saw was actually one of those bodyguards from the movies?" Song Lulu's expression was a bit exaggerated.

"Similar, I suppose."

"So, someone wants to harm you?"

"Watch less movies."

Xu Qingzhou rolled his eyes, pushed open the door and went inside, saying irritably, "It's just the routine setup, nothing special."

"Oh, but riding in an armored car... it's kind of amazing, it suddenly feels so high-class."

"Have it?"

"Brother-in-law, has anyone ever told you that you're pretentious?"

When the two went in, Song Yao had just finished cooking the dishes.

"Wash your hands and eat."

"It smells so good! I'm in for a treat today."

Song Lulu's attention was quickly drawn to the dishes on the table, and she couldn't take her eyes off them.

A moment later, the three of them were sitting around the dining table.

Song Lulu ate a few mouthfuls of food and sighed, "Sis, I wish I could be as amazing as you someday."

"No, your sister's talent isn't limited to cooking."

Xu Qingzhou clenched his fists a few times. "But this is the kind that can kill a bull with one punch, hiss~"

He didn't continue.

Song Yao stomped on the guy's foot hard to finally vent her anger, then looked at her cousin who was gloating over Xu Qingzhou's misfortune, "You said last time that a senior was pursuing you?"

"Yes, but now they've given up."

"Let's have a moment of silence for your senior."

The three chatted casually. After dinner, Song Lulu sat at home for a while before heading back to her dorm at 8 p.m.

"Are you in such a hurry to go back?"

Xu Qingzhou still cares about this adopted younger sister.

"My senior just sent me some data, and I need to break it down as soon as possible." Song Lulu hurriedly went out. "You don't need to see me off. I can just take a taxi from the door. Goodbye, sister and brother-in-law."

As soon as Song Lulu left, Song Yao relaxed and nimbly shifted her position on the sofa, placing her long legs into Xu Qingzhou's arms.

As a seasoned lecher, Xu Qingzhou naturally accepted all comers.

After finishing his work each day, he would sit on the sofa and cross Song Yao's legs, which was incredibly relaxing.

As he gently squeezed her soft, white toes, Xu Qingzhou's thoughts drifted away.

After Professor Gu Zhizhong said that, he felt that he could carefully consider the Institute for Advanced Study.

What do you want?

Song Yao hooked Xu Qingzhou's clothes with her foot.

Xu Qingzhou said slowly, "I'm thinking about whether the plan for the Advanced Research Institute can be put into action."

"As for funding, there's no problem."

Song Yao said that with the start of construction of the Qiankun Demonstration Reactor, Zero Point Technology's expenditures have even been reduced significantly, thanks to the government's financial support.

"In a sense, the Advanced Research Institute already has a basic structure, so we can't say we're starting from scratch."

It has an AI computer research center, as well as a joint experimental base with the Physics Department and Chemistry Department of Kyoto University.

The top scholars in each field conduct the purest scientific research, free from any teaching duties, research tasks, or pressure from sponsors.

But in reality, it's quite difficult to do.

Tsinghua University attempted to establish a similar advanced research institute, but due to various reasons, the results were not good; it only achieved the form but not the essence.

"Time, talent"

This is probably what the Institute for Advanced Study is most lacking.

For example, the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton became a world-class academic center in the last century thanks to scholars such as Einstein, von Neumann, Gödel, and Oppenheimer.

It's not about building a bunch of buildings, finding some scholars, copying the Princeton model, and suddenly an academic mecca is born.

To put it simply...

There are no Nobel laureates, there are Nobel laureates, or there are 10 Nobel laureates.

This is the difference in foundation.

Don't underestimate the influence of top scholars on an academic base.

"I'll talk to Lao Ji about the Institute for Advanced Studies another day and see what his thoughts are."

Xu Qingzhou ran his fingertips over Ji Yunshi's long, fair, and delicate legs. Ji Yunshi was definitely more experienced than him in management.

"The most important thing right now is recruiting talent for controlled nuclear fusion."

The institute's recruitment process has been fully launched.

In addition to scholars from Xia State, we also received many resumes from across the ocean, mostly from young experts.

Xu Qingzhou understands this. Senior scholars have already established laboratories and teams overseas, and they need to rebuild their research system when they return to China. However, it is difficult to transfer the international top team cooperation network, which affects the efficiency of academic output.

Xu Qingzhou massaged his feet for a while, then got up to go upstairs to do some calculations.

Song Yao reacted quickly, grabbing Xu Qingzhou's sleeve: "Xu Qingzhou, don't you think two people should huddle together for warmth on a snowy day?"

"There's still a data analysis that hasn't been completed."

Xu Qingzhou was helpless.

"You've been in the lab for four days already," Song Yao reminded him. They'd agreed on a work-rest balance, but this guy's been working on experiments every single day.

"I've already rested today."

"Relaxing is being a couch potato on the sofa."

"Sitting around in the living room like an idiot is boring. How about this, why don't you think of some other ways to keep me here, like wearing a tank top or something?"

Xu Qingzhou offered Song Yao some advice.

He remembered that this girl had bought several nice tank tops last time.

"I can give you a demonstration of the deadly scissor kick."

Song Yao remained expressionless.
