Chapter 481: Should We Practice Having Children First?

Friday, 8:00 PM.

Xu Qingzhou poured himself a cup of hot water, stood by the window, raindrops drawing silver-white fine threads, *pitter-patter* hitting the balcony railing, the scent of moist soil drilling in through the window cracks.

At the end of August, Boston was at the tail end of summer, autumn was coming soon, and after a week of sunny days, it started to pour with rain as soon as they finished running and got home.

"Hoo~"

Xu Qingzhou took two deep breaths; this white noise often evokes childhood memories, with everyone's initial peace hidden in the sound of wind and rain.

Song Yao was taking a shower, and the sound of splashing water came from the bathroom.

His thoughts drifted back to the project.

The research group members were finally assembled.

Although they all seemed a bit unreliable... but with him there, it wasn't a problem.

He had already finished the literature research and plan design, and could start equipment debugging next Monday.

Traditional substrate Nb3Sn thin film preparation technology, such as magnetron sputtering, gradient annealing, etc., belongs to mature and widely used industrial-grade technology.

But the disadvantages are also relatively obvious, such as the many grain boundaries in Nb3Sn thin films prepared by traditional methods, limited magnetic flux pinning ability, insufficient flexibility, inability to adapt to wearable devices or complex curved structures, and the process consumption is also relatively large.

According to Xu Qingzhou's vision, this time they chose a substrate-free Nb3Sn thin film preparation technology based on atomic layer deposition (ALD) and graphene substrates.

Experimental cycle, 10 to 12 months, finished before returning home.

The two cats lay by the window, staring with big eyes, quietly watching the rain scene outside.

"Calculated this way, the money on hand is just enough to hold on."

Xu Qingzhou wanted to stroke the cat's head, but was dodged by the cat in disgust. He shrugged, turned back to sit on the sofa, and thought that the two million from the Clay Mathematics Institute would take another two years to get; after one experiment, his pockets would probably be empty.

Save where you can.

By then, let Teacher Song earn money to support the family, realizing the dream of being "kept" early.

Once a third party joins, many things aren't up to you, and it's not that kind of tens of billions of big projects, so there's no need to add trouble to yourself.

Besides, if you make some achievements, you have to dilute your income.

Of course, generally speaking, this kind of project definitely needs some funds, which can allow for free experimentation, without worrying about expenses, and can also disperse the risk of experimental failure.

Although a bit tight, Xu Qingzhou still had no intention of financing.

The willfulness of a "cheater."

In his previous life, he was a big shot in quantum mechanics, and he had a certain understanding of the material foundation of quantum devices and high-field magnets, which is his advantage and can avoid taking some detours.

Moreover, after rebirth, whether it is logical thinking ability or hands-on experimental ability, he feels he is terrifyingly strong.

Such a ridiculous thing as rebirth has happened, so handling a small experiment is just a piece of cake.

The sound of showering in the bathroom disappeared. Xu Qingzhou put away his thoughts and stood up to get the hair dryer.

On this side, Song Yao stepped on her long legs, tilted her head, rubbed her hair with a towel, and sat down in front of Xu Qingzhou.

10 minutes passed.

Xu Qingzhou collapsed on the sofa again; having been busy for a week, he didn't want to do anything when he was free, just wanted to look at a beauty to relax his brain.

Song Yao's wide silk pajamas, the places where her skin was exposed were as white as jade, and the wide pajamas couldn't hide her perfect body.

Song Yao was tidying her hair in the chair, seeing Xu Qingzhou's gaze, and muttered: "Really don't know what's so good to look at."

"Hidden and visible is the most thought-provoking."

Xu Qingzhou leaned on the sofa and said lazily. After girls finish showering, they generally don't wear anything inside, and the clothes tremble slightly with the school beauty's movements.

This is the hazy feeling he wants; looking directly is actually not that interesting.

Song Yao had a dark face, raised her leg and kicked him, thinking to herself that she really didn't know where Xu Qingzhou got so many perverted ideas.

Xu Qingzhou had just finished being beaten when the phone on the table rang; it was Ms. Wang calling.

Now, the two of them basically maintain a frequency of 1-2 calls a week with home.

Song Yao squeezed Xu Qingzhou away with her butt, leaned on him, and quickly entered the state, master-level face-changing technique; just a moment ago she was clenching her fists to beat someone, and now she was already a well-behaved baby.

"Auntie~"

A certain violent girl shouted in a pinched voice.

Ms. Wang responded with a smile, her tone gentle: "Little Yao, are you ready to rest?"

"Not yet, how about you and Uncle, are you going to work?"

"Just eating breakfast... Old Xu, can't you be slower... Your Uncle Xu is going fishing with your dad..."

"..."

"If Xu Qingzhou is disobedient, just beat him hard; if he dares to fight back, just tell us." Ms. Wang said.

Xu Qingzhou couldn't listen anymore and interjected from the side: "Mom~ I really suspect whether I was picked up."

"Who told you to be unreliable, acting like a ghost all day."

"This is called a sense of relaxation; which young people now are serious? You don't understand." Xu Qingzhou retorted.

"Sloppy and still finding so many excuses."

"..."

Everyone chatted for ten minutes, and Ms. Wang had to rush to work, so she hung up the phone.

After finishing connecting feelings with her mother-in-law, Song Yao didn't waste time, climbed out of Xu Qingzhou's arms, turned around and pinned him on the sofa, pecked him, and then dragged her slippers to sit at the table.

"You just ruin me all day."

Xu Qingzhou sighed, lamenting that the husband's authority was not strong, and he was always pushed back by Song Yao.

"Pah, what do you mean ruin." Song Yao raised her eyebrows and glared at the boy who was sprawled on the sofa.

The heavy rain outside had a tendency to decrease, but the sound of rain could still be heard.

Xu Qingzhou changed to a more comfortable position, pillowing his arms, seeing Song Yao *click-click* typing on the keyboard, and couldn't help but ask: "Are you going to write a paper?"

"Hmm, start with an opening."

Song Yao nodded, having prepared for more than half a month, intending to write formally, first clarifying the research boundaries, systematically sorting out core literature in the field, and drawing a research map.

Xu Qingzhou asked: "Is there any place where I can shine?"

"Yes, you can wash clothes, cook, bring..."

Song Yao's attention was on the computer, and she got stuck halfway through.

They just got their marriage certificate, where would a child come from?

Seeing Song Yao not speaking, Xu Qingzhou asked with a smile: "Bring what?"

"Shut up."

"Compared to bringing children, should we practice having children first?"

Song Yao raised her eyebrows and hooked her fingers at the boy on the sofa who was courting death, "Okay, come over."

Xu Qingzhou smiled sheepishly, thinking to himself that he wasn't stupid, running over to be beaten.

Song Yao hummed and continued to do serious business.

Four core elements: technical advantages, data-driven strategies, market environment adaptation, and strict risk control.

Since it cannot be demonstrated in actual operation, it is necessary to establish market microstructure modeling to verify the effectiveness of high-frequency strategies in order book dynamics.

In the early stage, it is necessary to use a Limit Order Book (LOB) simulation model to reconstruct the market changes based on historical Level 2 data.

This content is not complicated.

She can handle it herself.

She will do the following content herself if she can, and find Xu Qingzhou if she is really too busy.

Xu Qingzhou lay for two minutes, reached out to take the tablet on the table, and prepared to look at the materials Song Yao collected, so that he could be ready to go when Song Yao really needed him.
