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

Chapter 781 Want to play the uniform fetish game?

In the laboratory, Zheng Xu and the other researchers were speechless as they watched Xu Qingzhou looking down at the data.

That's the highest national science and technology award, the highest honor in the scientific community of Xia Kingdom.

Is it right to be so calm?

Why do you sound like you're talking about something trivial?

Xu Qingzhou looked up and saw that Zheng Xu and the others had strange expressions. He smiled and said, "Winning an award is one thing, but we can't just stop doing the experiment."

"That's the truth."

Zheng Xu nodded with a smile, thinking it made sense. When Xu Qingzhou went to receive the Nobel Prize, he was also guiding experiments here.

"You guys retest this part."

Xu Qingzhou pointed to page 5 of the second report. This section mainly verifies helium bubble damage. Specifically, it means that the fusion byproduct helium and the retained hydrogen work together to form a cluster of bubbles inside the material, accelerating structural failure.

Currently, the phenomenon of helium bubble damage is still very obvious, and he wants to collect more data to study adjustment methods.

"it is good."

Zheng Xu nodded.

Xu Qingzhou didn't linger and took the test results back to his office.

"I'll watch over things here. You guys go and eat first."

Zheng Xu turned to the four researchers behind him and said.

"Professor, you go eat first, we'll keep watch."

"No need, I'm not hungry right now, I just need to look at some data."

Zheng Xu shook his head. Everyone has been working very hard during this period, especially the young researchers, who have practically been sleeping in the lab.

"Ok."

"As expected of Professor Xu, he remains so calm and composed after winning such a prestigious award. If it were me, I would have already started calling my friends to celebrate," one researcher remarked.

"Your vision is too narrow. Otherwise, you wouldn't be Professor Xu."

"Let's go, eat first."

When the two walked out of the laboratory, they found that a banner had been hung up in the institute.

Warmest congratulations to Professor Xu Qingzhou on winning the State Top Science and Technology Award!

"Wow, the institute is moving so fast, they've already printed out the banners."

"This is a prestigious award in the scientific community of our Xia Kingdom."

"Too."

Xu Qingzhou remained calm. After returning to his office and answering calls from Xu Shouyun and Song Shisong, he began analyzing the data he had just obtained.

The issue of hydrogen isotope retention in the Qiankun Demonstration Reactor is very important.

Tritium is a core fuel for fusion, but it is expensive and radioactive. If it gets trapped inside the material, the fuel utilization rate will decrease by 30%-50%, requiring additional tritium to be added, which will greatly increase the cost.

In addition to the aforementioned material degradation problem, hydrogen isotope retention can easily reduce the lifespan of materials inside the demonstration reactor.

The Qiankun-1 experimental reactor is fuel self-sufficient, meaning it does not require external tritium replenishment. However, the situation faced by the demonstration reactor is different, with an operating power far exceeding that of the experimental reactor, which leads to adaptation issues in extreme environments.

Currently, even when designed according to the experimental reactor method, a 12% retention rate still exists. The tritium retention rate of the Qiankun demonstration reactor is >10%, which will prevent the achievement of net energy gain. The retention amount determines whether the fuel cycle can be closed.

Zheng Xu and his team are depositing erbium oxide tritium-blocking coatings on the surface of graphite tiles, which is expected to reduce the retention rate by about 16%.

"Let's get started."

Xu Qingzhou took a sip of coffee, twirled the pen in his hand, and his brain began to work at a rapid pace.

The daytime passed just like that. Xu Qingzhou got off work quite early today, and entered his home at 6 pm.

Song Yao was busy in the kitchen, and the aroma of food was already wafting through the air.

"I am back."

Hearing Xu Qingzhou's voice, Song Yao poked her head out of the kitchen and saw that Xu Qingzhou was dressed in casual clothes. "Where's your suit?"

"How about the institute? I sense you're a little disappointed."

"No."

"Ha, it's obvious. I've already seen through you."

This girl just wants to play the role of a uniform fetishist.

As Xu Qingzhou spoke, he washed his hands and went into the kitchen, unable to resist picking up a piece of twice-cooked pork and popping it into his mouth. "Are you here to help or to steal some food?" Song Yao asked disdainfully.

Are these two things in conflict?

"."

"Cut out the tomatoes."

"okay."

Xu Qingzhou quickly chopped the tomatoes and then had nothing to do.

"Don't block the way here."

Song Yao shoved Xu Qingzhou aside with a thud.

"Having a big butt isn't a big deal."

"So what if you're so great?" Song Yao snorted.

"It was more fun when I was shy back then. Now..."

"What are you muttering about?"

"No, I'm saying you look better than before."

Xu Qingzhou leaned against the kitchen door frame, watching Song Yao busy at work.

Song Yao wore a loose white sweater and white casual pants, giving her a girl-next-door vibe. But when she tied on an apron, her beautiful figure was revealed.

Song Yao was already immune to this man's lecherous gaze; they'd already been honest with each other for so many nights. Of course, she still had to fight back, otherwise Xu Qingzhou would take advantage of her.

After all, this guy was still thinking about licking her.
"Take these dishes out first."

"Got it."

Ten minutes later, the food was already laid out on the table.

Since it was a special day, we had a rather lavish meal—four dishes and a soup for the two of us.

"Slow down."

"starving."

"Jiahui asked if we wanted to celebrate New Year's Eve together." Xu Qingzhou ate his food, this being the first time he was eating at home this week, having eaten in the cafeteria for the past few days.

"Sure, it'll be more fun with more people."

"We'll have hot pot here then."

"Do you remember the first time the four of us spent New Year's Eve together? It was in 2014, right? I was even molested by some female hooligan back then."

If Wang Xiaping hadn't suddenly called, who knows what that girl might have done?

The contrast after drinking was huge.

"Really? I don't remember."

Song Yao denied it.

After drinking a glass of red wine, her fair cheeks were flushed, and she exuded a lazy, languid aura that made people want to tease her.

"I can help you remember. You were drinking, and you just pounced on me on the sofa."

Xu Qingzhou didn't continue speaking; the girl had already stepped on his foot, the threat was self-evident.

After dinner, Song Yao sat cross-legged on the sofa watching TV, specifically Friends. Xu Qingzhou finished cleaning up the kitchen, wiped his hands, and came out. As soon as he sat down, the girl on the sofa groped her way over and lay on top of him.

"Crushed to death."

"I'm not heavy." Song Yao glared at Xu Qingzhou, her hand already instinctively slipping into his pajamas.

Song Yao is already a qualified old pervert.

Xu Qingzhou felt helpless. What goes around comes around, and now it was Song Yao's turn to grope him.

However, it is indeed very pleasant to hold a fragrant and soft body.

On one side, Er Miao came over wagging her tail, but seeing that there was no place for her on the sofa, she waggled her tail and left, going upstairs to inspect her territory.

Xu Qingzhou took out his phone to check the news online.

If nothing unexpected happens, the news that he won the State Top Science and Technology Award should become a trending topic.

Sure enough, it topped the trending search list.
