From black technology to super engineering

London, Oxford.

Zhou Xiangnan had already packed his luggage and booked his flight ticket.

Counting his master's period, he stayed in London for a total of five years. He had to go back to China suddenly, and there were many things that he couldn't bring back. In the past, it could be sold to domestic students. In the past two years, especially this year, it is said that there are fewer and fewer domestic students applying to study abroad...

Well, this is normal. Everyone is engaged in scientific research. We know that whether it is materials or computers, there are a lot of people in China. Everyone rushes back, except for a few who are deeply rooted in superstitious overseas rankings. Those people, who will come out.

When everything was ready, he drove out and knocked on the door of Ezio's office.

"Doireann." Professor Ezio was discussing something with the students, and when he saw Zhou Xiangnan entering the door, he waved: "It's just in time, we are thinking about realizing a new crystal, do you want to join?"

Zhou Xiangnan smiled sheepishly: "Professor, I may not have time. I have a flight tonight."

"Huh?" Professor Ezio was slightly taken aback, looking at him in surprise.

In the past two years, he and Zhou Xiangnan have gotten along quite well. He knows that this young man is quite talented in experiments, and he is currently making great strides in the field of chip semiconductors-this field of experimental materials, as long as he works well, The probability of the result is naturally high.

In the past two years, Zhou Xiangnan has published several top publications in a row. If his supervisor didn't need his help to complete the project, he should have graduated with a Ph.D. last year.

"Are you going home?"

"Yeah." Zhou Xiangnan squeezed the car keys, and exhaled softly: "I have already applied for a postdoctoral fellowship at the Provincial Brain-Computer Center."

Professor Ezio fell silent for a moment.

As we all know, the Provincial Jiao Tong Brain Science Center has become a new sacred place for materials science.

It is undoubtedly bright to be able to apply for a postdoctoral fellow there to do research.

After a while, he sighed softly: "If you can enter the brain-computer center, it's still possible."

"Yeah, I'm going back to hug my thigh." Zhou Xiangnan joked: "When you come over, I will receive you conveniently."

Professor Ezio laughed, and after a few seconds of silence, he shook his head again: "Go back, I hope you can get better honors in the Provincial Jiaotong University."

"Thank you, professor. Then... goodbye, professor... thank you for taking care of me these years."

"Well, you're welcome, I just did what a professor should do." After a pause, Professor Ezio looked at him: "You will also be a professor in the future..."

Professor Ezio's words were left unfinished, but the implication was clear.

Zhou Xiangnan nodded with a smile.

Afterwards, he went to meet with his tutor and several other professors who got along well. It was not until five o'clock in the afternoon that he returned the car and rushed to the airport.

While waiting for the flight, he took out his mobile phone and opened Zhihu.

In the past two years, he has been busy with academics, and has rarely answered questions on Zhihu. He only occasionally shared some of his daily life in his thoughts after experiments.

But it doesn't mean that he doesn't know the direction of Zhihu.

After all... He can be regarded as a big V with 200,000 fans - oh no, now he has more than 300,000 fans.

On a platform like Zhihu, which is as powerful as Zhihu, the number of CNS posts you post is positively correlated with the number of your fans.

If you still know a little bit about writing skills and can avoid some obvious pitfalls, then this index will still be very high.

In the past year, especially in the past six months, he has felt it keenly.

The domestic "momentum" is somewhat different.

And everything that happened this month proved his guess.

It's time for...the showdown.

——As the beginning of June began with Ye Ming's hard-on-the-face former GW Qing, the two sides have already launched mutual ZC in various fields around Jizhi Technology, and they will not give in. Judging from the reactions of other neighboring countries, it is also "trembling" "...

For example, a certain leader in Pacheng expressed his concern and called for cooperation and calmness, because if there is a full-scale showdown and the confrontation escalates, it will be a disaster for the entire Southeast Asia, Asia, and even the world.

But his words... It seems that they haven't caused any waves, and they haven't even been searched on Zhihu.

And within this month, in just ten days, after various measures have been continuously upgraded, the diplomatic departments on both sides have also begun to engage in frequent activities...

until now.

Zhou Xiangnan looked at the number one question on the hot search list.

"What do you think of the global controllable nuclear fusion conference held by the Kuafu project team in my country on June 27? What impact will this have on the global energy structure?"

Zhihu, who is well versed in the way of traffic, also rearranged another question that had already fallen from the top of the hot search-"How do you think about CA Alliance's announcement to hold the Global Quantum Computer Conference and Semiconductors from June 26 to 28?" Summit?"

Looking ahead, the top ten questions are all about hot topics such as "future bill", "semiconductor industry" and "strong artificial intelligence".

Zhou Xiangnan clicked on the first question.

Obviously, this question has only recently been put on the hot search by the editor of Zhihu, and there are not many serious answers.

Hmm...it's normal, after all, this question is both professional and big...

If it's just emotional output or pure cleverness, then it's easy.

For example, the answer with the most praise now is——

"Now it's your turn, Taylor Swift."

"Whether you want bread or firewood, that is the question."

"Don't worry, they will choose with their feet."

But it is actually very difficult to write high-quality answers.

After a few seconds of silence, Zhou Xiangnan checked the time, and then clicked on the answer box.

"He's in London, waiting for his flight back home."

"The above sentence is not a joke, it is a fact."

Holding the corner of the ticket, Zhou Xiangnan took a photo facing the lobby.

"Although this question is about controllable nuclear fusion, I would like to answer it from the perspective of materials and scientific research.

"Some people may still remember the sensation when Professor Ye Ming's first nature paper came out two years ago. At that time, I was also the first migrant worker to reappear on Zhihu, and I even started a live broadcast at that time."

"Fortunately, I completed the reproduction in the first time, which also laid the foundation for my future research direction."

"In the past two years, the field of materials has made leaps and bounds. Especially in the past year, it has advanced by leaps and bounds. The domestic materials science has reached the forefront of the world, and the Provincial Jiaotong University has become a holy place for materials science."

"The reason, apart from God Ye stealing the fire, the most important reason is actually Aita."

"If the hybrid chip is the fire, the Ata is the gasoline—the kind that never runs out."

"Since this year, I have clearly felt the acceleration of the application of Aita in various fields in China, except for Theta Robotics, in addition to the traditional network and AI fields of enterprise management. In the field of scientific research, especially the field of computing materials, it is infinitely affected."

"I think the same is true for controlled fusion."

"All of us underestimated Aita's ability to be the world's only strong AI."

"So, this passage can actually answer the question next door—what do you think of the CA Alliance's Quantum Computing Conference?"

"According to me, their only choice is to wash up and go to bed early."

"As for why the time for controlled nuclear fusion is scheduled on the 27th?"

"you guess?"

Zhou Xiangnan smiled.

After checking it out, click send.

Then, the flight arrived.

He took one last look at the airport lobby and walked to the gate.
