Chapter 599: You call this not good at debating?

"Hello, dear Mr. Xu, we meet again."

Looking at the astonishment on Xu Qingzhou's face, the woman's eyes revealed a mischievous smile.

Xu Qingzhou regained his senses and shook hands with the other party: "Hello, very happy to see you... but, Miss Katherine, if I remember correctly, this is a seminar in the field of physics. Why are you here?"

That's right, the woman in front of him is Katherine, whom he met when attending a seminar at the University of Jianqiao many years ago.

When he left Jianqiao, she was the one who sent Xu Qingzhou to London Airport, and she also let Xu Qingzhou experience what it means to be fast as lightning.

But... Katherine should be engaged in research in the field of mathematics.

"I am very willing to explain." Katherine glanced at the materials Xu Qingzhou was holding and said with a smile: "It seems Professor Xu is ready. If you don't mind, let's go to the auditorium first and talk while walking."

"Okay."

The two went downstairs, walking north along St Aldate's to the Carfax intersection.

"The explanation is very simple. Three years ago, I joined the superconducting qubit experimental group of the Oxford Quantum Computing Center."

Katherine said: "After knowing that you were on the list of invited reporters, I took the initiative to apply to be the docking assistant. After all, you still owe me a drink."

Xu Qingzhou suddenly realized, and this explained why Katherine appeared here.

He was not too surprised.

After all, as Descartes said: Mathematics is the tool of knowledge, and it is also the source of other knowledge tools. All sciences of order and measurement are related to mathematics.

It is not uncommon for mathematicians to switch to other fields, especially physics and chemistry.

The two walked west along Broad Street for about 150 meters, passed through the Bodleian Library of the University of Oxford, and turned left into Parks Road.

"Superconducting qubit experimental group, the experimental group of Jamieen Hailike?"

The University of Oxford is at the global leading level in quantum computing hardware, superconducting materials, algorithm theory, and industry-university-research transformation. Some technologies in the Xia Nation's "Micius" quantum satellite were completed in cooperation with the University of Oxford.

"Yes."

Katherine nodded, turned to look at Xu Qingzhou: "Professor Xu, although I am not interested in other people's husbands, I must say one thing: compared to four years ago, you seem to be more charming."

Looking at the more mature face beside her than before, Katherine was still a bit emotional.

Four years ago, Xu Qingzhou showed unparalleled mathematical talent at the Jianqiao seminar and even made a bold statement that he could solve the twin prime conjecture.

At that time, people were still questioning whether this young man could really solve the twin prime conjecture, betting that this bold statement would become history or a joke.

After that, the twin prime conjecture, the Polignac conjecture, and even the Riemann hypothesis, known as the pearl of mathematics, were solved.

"Miss Katherine has also become more beautiful."

Xu Qingzhou also complimented her.

"Thank you."

Katherine smiled beautifully, "In your Xia Nation's words, this belongs to commercial mutual blowing... I heard that you are conducting research in the battery field. Is there any happy news?"

"You know, whether it is lithium dendrites or the shuttle effect, they are incomparably troublesome things. At the very least, there is no breakthrough that I think is worth celebrating." Xu Qingzhou sighed.

The two walked for about 15 minutes, and the Clarendon Laboratory auditorium appeared in front of them.

Two people were preparing to walk over when a middle-aged man walked toward them.

Xu Qingzhou could judge from the other party's line of sight that he was coming for him. Xu Qingzhou was very helpless. He searched all the people he had seen in his mind, and it was a pity that there was no information about this old middle-aged man at all.

Sure enough, the middle-aged man stopped in front of them.

"Xu Qingzhou, I will prove to you that your theories are just like the rhetoric of politicians, and they have no effect at all!"

"..."

The middle-aged man raised his chin provocatively at Xu Qingzhou.

"I am looking forward to it." ===== CHAPTER 600 =====
