Chapter 230 Warm Invitation
At six o'clock in the morning, Feng Jinhui, who had just finished breakfast, came to the laboratory, opened the door, and found Lin Ziqi who was using the spectrometer.
"Okay, Comrade Xiaolin, you came earlier than me again." Feng Jinhui said while making himself a cup of coffee.
"Good morning, Teacher Feng." Lin Ziqi, who was measuring the electrons of single-layer graphene, turned around and said hello.
"Are you working on the project that Wu Bin left for you?" Feng Jinhui asked with a smile.
"Well, I originally thought that I could sort out the documents to be cited before he returned to China, but it seems that I was too naive." Lin Ziqi sighed helplessly.
Feng Jinhui took a sip of coffee and asked in surprise: "Oh? What, did that guy give you a time limit?"
"No, no." Lin Ziqi waved her hands quickly, "It's just... I don't want to be left too far."
Feng Jinhui was stunned after hearing this, shook his head with a smile, and sighed softly: "Youth~"
…
At the same time, it was half past two in the afternoon in the United States on the other side of the world. In an elegant Western restaurant, Wu Bin was cutting steak with Professor Brad, whom he had been friends with for a long time.
Professor Brad looks to be about 35 years old. It is impossible for him to have hair anymore, so there is only a little bit left on his temples, which is the last sign of stubbornness.
Skillfully cutting off a piece of steak and putting it into his mouth, Brad looked at Wu Bin who was in a daze and asked, "Don't you like steak?"
"Oh no, I quite like it." Wu Bin shook his head and poked a piece of steak in his mouth with his fork.
‘Isn’t it true that medium rare is still too pretentious...’
Feeling the taste of blood in his mouth, Wu Bin regretted listening to Professor Brad's words when ordering, "I recommend medium rare. Medium rare is the real steak!"
Seeing Wu Bin's slightly distorted expression, Professor Brad laughed loudly, "Take a few more bites, and you will realize how delicious it is once you get used to it."
Wu Bin nodded with a wry smile and took a sip of Coke to soothe the taste in his mouth.
After reading this, Professor Brad laughed again, then picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and said to Wu Bin: "From your last paper, it seems that you are exploring new properties of two-dimensional materials?"
The polite words had already been exchanged when the two first met, so now Professor Brad went straight to the "main course".
Since the discovery of graphene, two-dimensional materials have entered the field of vision of scientists.
Nowadays, more than a dozen two-dimensional materials with completely different properties have been discovered, including insulators, semiconductors, metals, etc.
Wu Bin nodded after hearing this: "It is an unexpected discovery. I have already included it in my next project. If the experiment is successful, it should provide a new ideal system for studying two-dimensional traveling magnetism."
Professor Brad smiled slightly, raised his goblet and took a sip of red wine: "I suggest you try using optical means to detect it."
"Optics?" Wu Bin suddenly stopped holding the knife and fork in his hand, "Optics!"
After several experimental possibilities flashed through his mind, Wu Bin looked at Professor Brad in surprise and said, "It seems that you have indeed read all the three papers I published recently. This is my honor."
In fact, Wu Bin only wrote about the discovery of new magnetic two-dimensional materials in passing. Unexpectedly, Professor Brad could give such a constructive meaning. It can be seen that he must be very sure of his ideas and also pay attention to it. The part that comes with him.
As various ideas emerged, Wu Bin could not wait to fly back to HKUST directly and not even want to receive the award!
Seeing Wu Bin fidgeting, Professor Brad showed a proud smile on his face. Then he cut the steak calmly and said to Wu Bin with a smile: "If you are very urgent, you can go to my laboratory to complete it." , don’t worry, I am lending you my laboratory out of academic friendship, you don’t even need to add my name to your paper.”
"How can this work! If this road really works, Professor Brad, you are the one who guided me to take the crucial step, I will definitely..."
"Okay, okay." Professor Brad pressed his hand, "We'll talk about this after we succeed. Do you want to go to my laboratory now? I can ask my assistant to book a flight immediately."
"Of!..." Just when Wu Bin was about to agree, his brain calmed down, and finally he took a deep breath and said: "Although I am very grateful for your suggestion, Professor, this experiment cannot be done for a while. It’s over, I’d better go back to China and do it again. Of course, I will report the progress to you from time to time.”
Seeing that the "fish" was about to bite the hook, it suddenly turned around and started to swim away. How could Professor Brad agree to this!
"I guarantee that my laboratory has better equipment, and I can propose the use of optical means to detect nature. I have also studied this area for some time, and I can give you more mature opinions."
Although Wu Bin was very moved after hearing this, he finally shook his head: "I really want to visit your laboratory, but after all, I only came to the United States this time to participate in the competition, and I only took a week's leave from school. "
"OH~ Dear Wu." Brad spread his hands in an exaggerated manner, "With your level, it's no problem for you to come to me and study for a direct Ph.D., do you still need to consider asking for leave from the university!?"
"Of course, after all, my job is still a student, and visa is also a problem, right?"
"You don't have to worry about the visa. I can help you get it. You can stay as long as you want. I still have this ability."
‘Social society…’
Seeing Professor Brad inviting himself so sincerely, Wu Bin was really shaken. Although this invitation came too suddenly, it really made him very tempted.
Professor Brad saw that Wu Bin was still hesitating, so he immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
"Bring the files here."
After saying this to the person on the other end of the phone, Brad turned off his phone, continued to look at Wu Bin with a smile, and began to introduce the cutting-edge equipment in his laboratory.
About five minutes later, a blonde girl wearing a pink loose hoodie came to the table, handed a blue file to Professor Brad and said, "Professor, this is the file you want."
"Thank you." Professor Brad nodded towards her, and then introduced to Wu Bin; "Her name is Patricia, and she is my student."
Wu Bin nodded towards her and said "Hello."
Then Professor Brad introduced Wu Bin to Patricia: "He is the Wu Bin. Aren't you very curious about his research field? You can ask him directly now."
Upon hearing the name Wu Bin, Patricia, who originally just nodded and smiled at Wu Bin's formulaic eyes, suddenly lit up, "So you are the master of realizing high-quality and controllable 1-3 layers of pentacene epitaxial films!"
