Chapter 675: So Angry!

After the two researchers saw this with their own eyes, all of their doubts and suspicions disappeared. The two researchers from the navy equipment research institute began to look at Lu Zhou with worship.

Honestly, Lu Zhou was a little embarrassed.

After the trial run was finished, Lu Zhou asked Xiao Ai to stop the reactor and waited for the nuclear core to completely cool down before removing it. He then asked an assembly center technician to inspect the radiation damage on the reactor casing.

While they were disassembling the reactor casing, Academician Zhang Jianrong and the two other researchers were watching by the side, asking questions about the reactor components from time to time.

Even though they were well into their later years, they still had a serious and eager attitude about learning, the same as that of a young man in his twenties.

This was what Lu Zhou admired the most.

He always believed that as long as a person kept learning, that person would never grow old.

Even if their bodies weakened, their minds would remain young forever.

Academician Zhang Jianrong would probably stay for a few weeks in Jinling to learn about the relevant sound fusion knowledge as well as its technical knowledge from Lu Zhou. Because Lu Zhou was often busy and couldn’t teach him every day, he arranged Professor Li Changxia to be the one responsible for teaching these three researchers.

Professor Li Changxia obviously accepted Lu Zhou’s task.

After all, this was a good opportunity for Li Changxia to advance in the academic field.

If he could make friends with this prestigious academician from a high-ranking military institution, Li Changxia would have the hope of getting into the Changjiang Scholars Program.

Also, living in a hotel wasn’t very convenient, nor was it safe. Lu Zhou talked with Jin Ling University and arranged them to live in the Jin Ling University’s faculty dormitory, in the name of academic exchange groups.

At night time, Lu Zhou found a grilled fish restaurant near the university and invited the three researchers from the Navy Equipment Research Institute to dinner.

Because Academician Zhang was quite old, Lu Zhou didn’t ask the waiter to bring any alcohol. However, when the grilled fish was placed on the table and the mouth-watering smell filled the entire room, Academician Zhang decided to go against his plan and asked one of the researchers to buy a bottle of Baijiu from the nearby supermarket.

It seemed like Lu Zhou’s worries were superfluous.

This old man drank alcohol like it was water. He didn’t seem like he was a day over 50 years old.

After some drinking, Academician Zhang Jianrong suddenly said, “Oh yeah, I suddenly remembered something.”

Lu Zhou just came back from the toilet after getting rid of the metabolized alcohol from his body. He sat back in his chair and poured himself another shot.

“What’s up?”

Academician Zhang: “Next year is the academician election year, right?”

Lu Zhou: “I think so?”

Academician Zhang: “I was thinking, what if you become an academician of the Academy of Engineering? Or Academy of Science?”

Lu Zhou paused for a second and smiled. He then said, “I’m a mathematician, there’s no room for me at the Academy of Engineering. If I could, I’ll probably be an academician at the Academy of Science.”

Academician Zhang shook his head and said, “In my opinion, your achievements in the field of engineering are no inferior to your theoretical field achievements. The significance of the Pangu project is comparable to the Manhattan Project!”

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “Pangu wasn’t my work alone.”

Academician Zhang smiled and said, “That’s what you said, but we all know that there are many excellent scholars and engineers, yet none of them can lead the way like you did. Do you think if Academician Wang Zengguang was the chief designer, the fusion reactor would have been made?”

Lu Zhou nearly spat the Baijiu out of his mouth.

Even though he knew they were good friends, this was still a little ruthless…

Academician Zhang suddenly had a flash in his eyes. He smiled and said, “How about you apply to the Academy of Engineering next year? We have already discussed it several times. A lot of people are willing to write recommendation letters for you. It’ll be an easy ride. As for the Academy of Science, it doesn’t really matter if you apply or not, they don’t have a lot of funding.”

Even though this sentence was somewhat bitter, the two academicians were actually around the same status, neither was better than the other. They both had backgrounds in directing research institutes and were the vice presidents of universities.

This old man definitely had drunk too much. Lu Zhou smiled and said, “We’ll see what happens, who knows what can happen.”

Academician Zhang Jianrong waved his hand.

“What do you mean? I’ll personally write a recommendation letter for you! No one will dare to vote against me!”

Lu Zhou coughed.

“I’ll think about it.”

Zhang Jianrong smiled and nodded.

“You should think about it!”

The two researchers sitting next to them ate silently.

Wow…

Forget about begging for an academician spot, this academician is begging Lu Zhou!

F*ck sake, I’m so angry!

After they finished eating, Lu Zhou said goodbye to Academician Zhang. He sat in Wang Peng’s car and went back to his Purple Mountain mansion.

On the way back, he asked Xiao Ai to fill the bath with water. He went straight into his bathroom and soaked his body into the warm bath, washing away his sweat that smelled like alcohol.

This was the best part about his increased metabolic activity. Whether it was drinking or exercising, his body recovered at an insanely fast rate. Even though Academician Zhang drank a lot with Lu Zhou, Lu Zhou’s body was able to process most of the alcohol on the ride home.

In some sense, this was a convenient superpower.

Lu Zhou walked out of his bathroom and put on the pajamas, which was placed by Xiao Ai’s drone. He then went into his study room.

He still had some work to do before he could sleep.

However, the moment he sat down at his desk and turned on his computer, he received a phone call…
