Sometimes, it's just a coincidence.

If Lu Zhou knew what was on the mind of President swift at the moment, he would be willing to accept the nomination from the International Association of materials research and participate in the selection of the annual award of the association.

Honor is second to none for him.

If he can make a little contribution to the peace, stability and common cooperation of the two countries in the next 10 or even 20 years, he doesn't mind visiting North America.

After all, compared with the vast universe, the benefits on earth are too small.

Besides, I haven't been back to Princeton for a long time, and I miss his old friends very much.

Unfortunately, however, the International Federation of materials research societies did not suggest this in the nominated email.

So when Zhao took the email to Lu Zhou, he just glanced at it and said.

"Give me a letter and push it off."

I thought it was my mistake. Zhao Huan was stunned and couldn't believe looking at Lu Zhou.

"Push, push off?"

Lu Zhou: "well."

Zhao Huan looked at Lu Zhou at a loss and said, "well, this is the Nomination Letter from the International Association of materials research. Is that the annual award of the association very important?"

It's a $100000 prize.

Although I know that my boss is no longer short of money, Zhao Huan still loves it for him.

"It's just because it's important that I hope they can consider more young scholars," Lu replied casually

Although the annual award of the association is also a very valuable award, it is far from the Nobel Prize. With the halo twining around him now, even if he wins another Nobel Prize, it doesn't make much sense, let alone the annual award awarded by an association of academic societies.

At this time, Lu Zhou suddenly noticed Zhao Huan's expression of embarrassment on her face, and immediately understood what she was worried about. There was a flash on her face.

"Well, I'll write the reply myself, so I won't bother you."

Hearing this, Zhao Huan felt sorry for him, but he was relieved.

After all, it's good if such a key thing is written in place. If there is a problem and academician Lu's meaning is not expressed completely, then she will have to carry the pot.

Let Zhao Huanxian go to prepare lessons for himself. Lu Zhou opened the computer, logged in the mailbox of the office, and began to edit the reply to the Federation of international materials research societies.

In about two or three lines, Lu Zhou simply thanked the International Federation of Materials Research Societies for its nomination, and then politely and politely expressed his intention to withdraw from the annual award

"Implicit density functional method is a theory of computational materials that I summed up accidentally when I studied carbon materials. Before that, I didn't expect to be able to rely on it for any honor Of course, not now. "

"As I said in the interview before, it's meaningless to give this award to someone who has lost his desire for honor and money and only hopes to reveal more about the mysteries of the universe in his lifetime."

"I'll find someone to do the report on implicit functional density theory, but let's forget about the medal. I hope you can think more about the young people who are more potential and need to be admitted than me."

"They need these honors more than I do, and their career needs more support!"

After the last punctuation, Lu Zhou checked the email from the beginning to the end, and determined that there was no mistake in expressing his meaning, so he hit the send button.

Then, he thought for a while, took out his cell phone, opened the address book, and called his little apprentice.

"Hello."

“…… Hello? "

The phone is very quiet, and Han Mengqi's voice is also very low. It seems that it should be in the library or similar places.

"What are you doing?"

"Self study in the library What's the matter? "

Turning the ballpoint pen in his hand, he leaned against the boat on the office chair and said, "well, I have something to ask you. Do you have any plans recently?"

"Eh? Arrangement, no, what's the matter -- "

the voice at the other end of the phone suddenly got flustered somehow, so that it almost didn't hold down the voice, but although the boat felt strange, it didn't think much, said it.

"There is a lecture on computational materials. If you are interested, can you go for me?"

"A report on computational materials?"

At the moment of hearing the request, Han Mengqi was slightly stunned, and her restless heart finally calmed down, but then her brow was slightly wrinkled.

"No problem, no problem But I've turned to pure mathematics? Computational materials has not been touched for a long time... ""It's OK. It doesn't conflict. Besides, it's a pity for you to review the knowledge you have learned before and forget all the things I taught you," continued Lu Zhou with a smile. "You have more than a month to prepare. If there's anything you can't do, you can ask me. Ah, but it's still voluntary. If you really don't want it, it's OK. "

Although he is a tutor, Lu Zhou seldom takes himself as a tutor. Most of the time, he communicates with his students in a consultative manner.

If Han Mengqi is really not interested, he will not be too demanding. Although it's a pity that this opportunity to rise to prominence in the international arena is a pity, the personal choice should be respected.

It seems that he is worried about something. After struggling for a while, Han Mengqi sighs with headache.

"OK I'll try. "

During this period, she has been studying the transcendence of Riemannian zeta function at odd positive integer points, which is also the doctoral project assigned to her by Lu Zhou when she was under the door of Lu Zhou.

However, the difficulty of this subject is just like its name. Although it is not as BT as Riemann conjectures, it is not easy to solve it.

At that time, they agreed to allow her to get her Ph.D. from her as long as she could make any effective progress in this research direction - or be able to make progress in a regional journal.

And if she can't finish the task, she will never want to graduate from her own. Even if she is the cousin of Xuejie, it is absolutely not lenient.

Of course, Lu Zhou also left her a way to go, which is to continue the research of computational materials.

However, Han Mengqi never thought about the way back, and did not plan to think about it at all.

Now the research just enters the dead end. It's better to change your mind when you go out for relaxation

Thinking so, Han Mengqi asked.

"Where is the report, please?"

"It should be in Boston. This academic report is at the April meeting of the International Federation of materials research societies. I will send you the information about the meeting in a moment. Don't worry about the travel expenses. First class air tickets and five-star hotels are fully reimbursed. Remember to have a good time. If you meet my old friends, remember to say hello to them for me. "

Han Mengqi: "..."

International Union of Materials Research Societies

I didn't expect such an important meeting.

All of a sudden, she regretted that she had agreed so hastily.
