Chapter 703: What the hell is Xu Qingzhou's former residence

Days passed one by one, and the popularity of the Nobel Prize temporarily faded. Xu Qingzhou focused his energy on magnet integration design, and the research institute returned to its former busyness, with each group advancing their work in an orderly manner.

Southwest Institute of Nuclear Physics.

In the morning, in the office of the Plasma Diagnostics Group.

A young man sighed to the person beside him: "It's getting better; our Xia Nation finally has a Nobel Prize of our own. Kyoto Materials Ding Liyan... tsk tsk, I have a classmate who is in there, heard the benefits and treatment are all very good."

"Actually, in my opinion, the benefits and treatment are secondary. In June, I went there for a visit, and everyone was focused on scientific research and doing projects. To be honest, the academic atmosphere is very strong; it reminds me of when I was at Princeton."

Shao Yilin, a student of Zhang Zhi Gao, revealed a look of recollection.

Last time he went for an exchange, he chatted very well with Li Yi, and there was quite a sense of being like-minded.

Sometimes he thinks, this... perhaps this is the place that truly does academic research.

Cheng Lihui said with some regret: "It's a pity that we have relatively few exchanges with them, otherwise I would also like to go and see."

Shao Yilin wanted to say something but stopped. Everyone knows the situation between his teacher and that side; they are very much at odds. Old Academician Ren is one thing—an old enemy—but last time his teacher came back after visiting Professor Xu's office, his face was quite bad.

It could be seen that the chat wasn't very pleasant; he hit a wall.

Although he didn't quite agree with his teacher's point of view, but... as a student, he still couldn't say anything.

"You two, have you finished analyzing the data?"

It was also at this time that a voice sounded behind the two.

Shao Yilin and Cheng Lihui turned their heads and saw Zhang Zhian with a dark face.

"Teacher."

"Academician Zhang."

The two shrank their necks and nervously observed Zhang Zhi Gao's expression. In the institute, Zhang Zhi Gao was the least willing to hear the names of the Kyoto Materials Ding Liyan and Xu Qingzhou.

If it weren't for the superconducting thin film, they wouldn't have had the slightest exchange with the other side.

"We'll go get busy right now."

Seeing that Zhang Zhi Gao didn't say anything, the two hurriedly dived into the laboratory.

Zhang Zhi Gao returned to his office.

"Didn't expect Xu Qingzhou to actually win the Nobel Prize; underestimated this kid..."

"But so what if he won the Nobel Prize? The field of nuclear fusion is about technology. A fusion project in a research institute that just started—don't tell me he can really surpass us."

Zhang Zhi Gao narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but laugh.

"Circulation No. 3 has already set two world records. In the field of nuclear fusion, the status of the Southwest Institute of Nuclear Physics is unshakable. Although I won't say I'll go down in history, my name will always be there."

"Spherical tokamak device... compared to Circulation No. 3, which has national support, it counts for nothing. The advantage is with me."

On the other side, after dragging their feet for several months, the US finally yielded, expressing willingness to contact the Xia Nation, and both sides began to talk about the issues of battery lithium dendrites and the shuttle effect.

One reason was the pressure from within the country, choosing to convey the willingness to contact the Xia Nation; the second, after more than a month of struggling, the high-ranking US officials seemed to have finally given up, discovering that there was no possibility of making it in the short term.

The contact and negotiation were pushed forward simultaneously by the Ministry of Science and Technology and Zero Point Technology.

Consequently, Song Yao fell into busyness again, leaving early and returning late, busy every day looking at the cooperation documents between Zero Point Technology and the US side.

October 21st, Wednesday.

Xishan No. 1 Courtyard.

Having spent two days soaking in the laboratory over the weekend, the interview from the official media *People's Daily* came again. Xu Qingzhou didn't refuse and actively cooperated.

The Nobel Prize is the highest honor in the field of natural science, reflecting a country's breakthrough contributions in basic research, which also directly confirms the correctness of the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education.

In short, the Xia Nation needs such a scholar to boost national self-confidence.

After the interview ended, Xu Qingzhou went to the laboratory for a turn, and seeing that there were no problems, he also gave himself a small vacation.

He came home early, preparing to cook a meal. ===== CHAPTER 704 =====
