Chapter 730: The game is to cross the sea in secret

After wandering around Europe for a week, on December 17, Xu Qingzhou and the others boarded the plane for their return journey.

It can only be said that the happier they played, the busier they were upon returning.

As soon as Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao returned, they immediately threw themselves into busy work; even Song Yao stayed up late for two days because of work.

Xu Shouyun and the others adjusted for two days at Xishan Meishuguan before returning to Rongcheng.

The Nobel Prize award ceremony seemed to be just a small interlude, and the lives of Xu Qingzhou and the other returned to calm, while on Song Lulu's side, she had been having a bit of a headache these days.

Her classmates and teachers were a bit too enthusiastic.

Chemistry Academy.

Song Lulu had just said goodbye to a few roommates and intended to go to the library.

"Student Song Lulu."

A passing teacher greeted her.

"Hello, Teacher Wang," Song Lulu greeted back.

"I happen to be short a person for my project here. If you have time, come over and help out. This will be very helpful for your abilities."

The teacher surnamed Wang invited her.

Song Lulu politely declined: "Teacher Wang, I'm sorry, I want to understand the knowledge in the textbooks first, I have no plans to participate in any projects."

"Alright then, I'll leave the spot open for you. If you want to come, give me a call anytime."

"Thank you, Teacher Wang."

After the other party left, Song Lulu sighed.

Although she had tried her best to hide her identity before, participating in the Nobel Prize award ceremony this time had completely exposed it.

In the future, if she had to write an essay, she wondered if she could write "My Nobel Prize Brother."

Song Lulu thought to herself.

"That little girl is very popular." In the distance, two old men had already seen this scene.

Professor Tang Shanze: "After all, she is the sister of Professor Xu and Song Yao."

Xu Qingzhou controlled the Kyoto Materials Research Institute, which could be considered the most sought-after research institution in the country, and Song Yao held the hundred-billion-dollar Zero Point Technology Company in her hands.

"A bunch of sycophants."

He Rusong despised them.

Tang Shanze smiled, paused, and said: "However, this little girl is indeed very talented. I even have the idea of taking her as a disciple."

"You actually want to take a disciple?" He Rusong's expression changed a few times.

"Yes, she is a piece of fine jade. Forget it, let's go, I'll ask this little girl again in the afternoon."

"You go first, I'm going to the restroom." He Rusong waved his hand.

"Alright."

"Ah~"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Song Lulu was walking when she was suddenly startled by a figure popping out from next door.

"Professor He."

She saw clearly who was opposite her.

It was He Rusong from their Chemistry Academy.

He Rusong rubbed his hands: "Student Song, I have a project here with moderate difficulty, and I happen to need an undergraduate to help. If you have time, you can come over."

"Professor..."

"I know what you are worried about."

He Rusong's expression was serious: "I am not looking for you because of Xu Qingzhou or Song Yao. I have read the paper you wrote, it is quite brilliant. This USB drive contains the project information. Take a look, and if you are interested, come find me."

Not waiting for Song Lulu to refuse, He Rusong stuffed a USB drive into her hand.

Taking a disciple is something that must be done preemptively, of course. He had actually noticed this little girl too; she was quite talented among this batch of students.

"..."

Just on December 21, big news came from the United States.

The National Ignition Facility (NIF) completed four net energy gain ignitions, especially the last one, where the input energy reached 2.2 megajoules for the first time, and the output was 3.4 megajoules, marking the first time humanity had continuously achieved controllable nuclear fusion with "output > consumption" in inertial fusion.

They also announced a series of technologies, such as breaking the plasma density limit (DIII-D) and laser damage control optimization (NIF), and so on.

Furthermore, they announced that they would optimize energy conversion efficiency in June 2021 to achieve system-level Q>1, that is, fusion output > total electrical energy input, solving the problem of "power generation" rather than "ignition."

The achievements of the National Ignition Facility (NIF) were announced. ===== CHAPTER 731 =====
