"Of course, not just interested," cleared his throat, Musk looked at Lu Zhou and said sincerely, "I must thank you, your research results have helped me a lot."

"... I'm glad to help you." For Luk's enthusiasm, Lu Zhou had an awkward but polite smile on his face.

Honestly, he is still a little confused about this sudden visit.

Even though his research results may indeed help Tesla, but new energy vehicles do not produce batteries, it is logical that Musk did not make a special trip to visit himself.

It may be because of the recent patent issues. Someone called to ask if they were interested in selling patents. The first reaction to a person with a businessman's label was to think about the other party's attempt.

This is not a warning, it is a purely subconscious reaction.

"It seems that the two still have a lot of interesting topics to talk about, but I am not very interested in things other than math and football," said the old-bearded Mr. Francis with a gentle smile. "Well, the two are slow Chat, I'll be lost. "

"Thank you, I also want to talk to Professor Lu separately." Musk said with a smile.

After Mr. Francis was gone, Musk sat down casually across the boat and continued to speak in a blunt tone.

"... When I was studying economics at the University of Pennsylvania, I thought about where the future of mankind is and what problems the world is really facing. In the end, I came to the conclusion that new energy, the Internet, and space exploration."

Looking at Lu Zhou seriously, Musk continued, "I am an engineer and you are a scholar. From your point of view, what is the key to solving these three problems?"

Communicating with this guy, Lu Zhou always feels listening to Yueyue's new report. Both are probably the kind of dreamers who are immersed in their own universe. Although this is not bad, it is a bit unfriendly for those who are trying to understand them.

"The Internet is hard to say," Lu Zhou thought for a while, and replied casually, "but the other two, I personally think it's about the materials."

Although the bottlenecks of new energy technology and space exploration technology involve many disciplines, it is not easy to summarize all problems into materials science, but it is more interesting that if the problems of materials are solved, many originally complicated problems seem to change. Keep it simple.

Whether it is photovoltaic power generation or nuclear fusion power generation, whether it is a lithium sulfur battery or a lithium air battery, the most difficult thing is to get the materials.

Musk snapped his fingers and smiled, "It looks like we thought of going together, and my team of engineers think so. I plan to invest 10 billion U.S. dollars to build a materials research and development base in Silicon Valley. If you are interested , I want to hire you as the chief designer of this research institution. "

Ten billion dollars? !!

Hearing this number, Lu Zhou was taken aback so much that he didn't listen carefully.

In his impression, Tesla's annual sales are not that number.

"Your idea is indeed very interesting. I believe that if there is such a generous rich man, the entire material science community will be overjoyed ... but IMHO, can Tesla get that much money?" Lu Zhou remembered that he had heard before However, Tesla's financial situation is not good.

Musk took it for granted, "No, but you will have it when you come."

Lu Zhou: "..."

He didn't want to say anything except a MMP.

...

I have to admit that Musk's proposal is indeed attractive to a researcher.

Switching to Professor Salot, fearing that he would not hesitate for a second, he took his own lithium battery project and fled to it.

But for Lu Zhou ...

To be honest, it is not attractive.

"Sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you with this."

It didn't seem that Lu Zhou would reject this attractive proposal. Musk frowned slightly, trying to convince: "Are you really not thinking about it anymore? I can guarantee that as long as you nod, you will never fund research Things are worrying. "

"I'm a professor of mathematics. Materials science is not my area of ​​expertise. You still have to be smart," he paused, Lu Zhou continued. "And, even if you promise me endless scientific research funding, my Research is not going to cost that much at all for the time being. "

Although he still wanted to persuade him, seeing the expression on Lu Zhou's face did not seem to have any intention to change his mind, Musk could only sigh helplessly in the end.

"Well, I have to say that you missed an opportunity to change the world ... Of course, if you change your mind, you can always come to me."

Lu Zhou said indiscriminately: "If so."

Leaving his own business card, Musk then talked with Lu Zhou for a few words, but it seemed a bit lacking in interest and did not have the enthusiasm at the beginning.

I have read Lu Zhou ’s statement “Changing Science with Mathematics” in the interview of the Crawford Awards, and saw what he said on the lithium anode material has become a reality ... Musk originally thought that Lu Zhou and himself were All the way, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Talking awkwardly for a while, he just got up and left, leaving the party.

With Mr. Musk's departure, the surroundings calmed down.

Lu Zhou poured a glass of champagne into his glass, enjoying the little time left for the banquet.

At this time, his apprentice Willa, with a look of joy, Miss Hannah, returned to the banquet hall.

From the excited expression on Hannah's face, she probably made it.

The result had been guessed, but Lu Zhou still looked at Willa and asked with a cheerful smile: "What is the result?"

Willa nodded and whispered, "According to your request, I gave him a complex function problem in accordance with the teaching standards of the undergraduate level. About half an hour, she successfully solved the answer."

Lu Zhou nodded and looked at Miss Hannah standing behind her.

"Very well, congratulations, Miss Hannah ~ www.readwn.com ~ You have passed my assessment. Give me an email and let me know the instructor you want to report."

For him it was nothing more than a hand, and of course he would not regret it.

"Okay! Thank you, thank you so much!" Hannah nodded excitedly, and took out the prepared note paper and pen.

Generally speaking, the recommendation letter is sent directly to the tutor of the student application, without passing through the student, let alone see what is written on the recommendation letter.

That is why, in a sense, the power to be a professor overseas is really great.

The recommendation letter written by the same recommender, "I don't recommend it" and "I highly recommend it", although they are only a few words different in grammar, they determine one's future.

But in general, most professors are happy to recommend potential students to others. It is also one of the joys of being a professor to watch the students recommended by myself become an outstanding scholar.

Watching Hannah's back, Vera squeezed her skirt slightly and encouraged herself in her heart.

Taking a deep breath, she finally gathered her courage and said, "... Professor."

Seeing that she had something to say, Lu Zhou, who had just done a good deed, was in a good mood, and asked cheerfully, "What's the matter?"

Opening her mouth, Willa was about to say something.

However, at this moment, the music on the dance floor suddenly changed the tune and played the music of the scene.

With the music coming out, people on the dance floor reluctantly retired.

Obviously, the ball is over.

It seemed to be remorse for missing something, and those bright eyes were slightly lost, looking to the side.

Looking down, Willa whispered.

"It's nothing……"

I just want to ask you to dance ...
