Chapter 310 Distance

Although she is a little afraid of English, under Wu Bin's long-term guidance, Lin Ziqi still has a good foundation in writing English papers.

In the past, Lin Ziqi's biggest headache when writing papers in English was uncertainty. She didn't know what words should be followed before and after a word, which words were more commonly used, and which combinations would be better.

But after Wu Bin told her about a search called Lingle, the problem became much simpler. As long as she searched for the most common English language collocations, she could judge based on the word frequency given by Lingle.

"Here, have a cup of coffee, be careful it's hot."

After the two of them escaped the first round of security patrols in the middle of the night, Wu Bin placed a cup of brewed coffee in front of Lin Ziqi's table.

"Thank you." Lin Ziqi, who looked a little tired, took the coffee cup and took a sip. After finding that it was too hot, she put it aside and continued typing on the keyboard.

"Is the website I sent you easy to use?" Wu Bin, who was also holding a cup of coffee, sat behind Lin Ziqi and asked.

Lin Ziqi nodded: "Well, it was a bit troublesome at first, but after I got used to it, it became very easy to use."

Previously, Wu Bin packaged and sent to Lin Ziqi a set of websites that can draw pictures and write papers anytime and anywhere, including Overleaf.com, Lucidchart.com and Mendeley.com.

For example, the first Overleaf.com is a cloud typesetting system, which can be used without configuring a local LaTeX environment.

In addition, the cloud also has its benefits. It saves configuration and makes it easier to start writing directly, including real-time compilation and so on.

And even if you change a computer or use a public computer in the library, or even if your computer hard drive is burned, it will not have any impact.

However, one of its best features is that it supports online collaboration. Simply put, you can directly convert your paper into a link and send it to your tutor, so that your tutor and you can modify the same document at the same time, so you don’t have to worry about the document being lost. It cannot be compiled on the tutor's computer.

You can also see the modifications made by your instructor to your paper in real time, and you can also add comments to communicate.

"Woo~"

After typing two more lines, Lin Ziqi stretched, took a sip of slightly cold coffee, then looked back at Wu Bin who was reading a book and asked: "How is your patent matter going?"

As Wu Bin's partner in the laboratory, Lin Ziqi naturally knew the news of Wu Bin's success earlier than Li Yan, and she always felt honored to do so, so naturally she was particularly concerned about it.

"Oh, I've already told Li Yan. He said he would find the patent agent for me tomorrow."

"This technology should also be approved quickly, right?"

Wu Bin shook his head: "I don't know about this. I haven't done any research in this area."

"Hey, hey, how much money do you think this patent can make?" Lin Ziqi lowered her voice inexplicably and asked.

Wu Bin: "Vulgar~"

"I'm just a layman~ Guess what." Lin Ziqi said with a smile.

"I can't estimate it either. Let's see if it can completely change the market."

Lin Ziqi couldn't help laughing when she heard Wu Bin say such domineering words in a tone of voice like "Let's see if it can be sold for fifty cents."

But after laughing a few times, her expression suddenly dimmed again, "I feel... the distance between us will soon become farther and farther."

After hearing this, Wu Bin suddenly asked strangely: "What distance are you referring to?"

"Just...just the distance between us." Lin Ziqi lowered her head and said with a red face.

"No, I will still stay at HKUST in the future."

"How is that possible? Once graphene becomes really popular, you will definitely be busy flying around the world. It will probably be difficult to see you even once."

Wu Bin: "Why do I have to fly around the world?"

"There are meetings here and there, and there are talks about cooperation and so on." Lin Ziqi replied.

"Then just let them come here to find me, right?" Wu Bin said lightly.

"Russian……"

Lin Ziqi was speechless for a moment after hearing this. If it were another person, Lin Ziqi would only take this kind of words as a joke, but Wu Bin was different. He really had the capital.

This reminded her of what Wu Bin said that time by the lake.

“If possible, I also want to create some cutting-edge knowledge that Westerners must come to study in our country to learn.”

‘Maybe he… really can do it. ’ Lin Ziqi thought as she looked at Wu Bin.

"How is it? Do you still feel that the distance will get farther and farther?" Wu Bin asked with a smile.

"It will still happen~ What if someone invites you to host a meeting or something, or you want to change a place to study, or... forget it, what's the use of thinking so much now."

Sighing, Lin Ziqi turned back and continued writing her thesis, but after a while, she quietly looked back at Wu Bin, and a sentence she could only vaguely understand came to her mind.

[When you grow up, there will always be one or two times when you will run for someone you care about. Because it is the right person, it is really too late to walk. 】

The only way to keep the distance between them from getting further and further apart is for her to run with all her strength, even if it's just a little, she wants to shorten the distance between her and him.

…

After working hard all night, Lin Ziqi happily went back to the dormitory to sleep after receiving Wu Bin's praise.

Wu Bin wasn't very sleepy, but he thought he was going to talk to the patent attorney today, so he took out his folding bed and got ready to take a nap.

At half past six, Qin Simeng arrived at Yexi Lake as usual. After looking around for a while, he couldn't help but sigh.

During a run some time ago, Wu Bin told her that he would be very busy in the next period of time, and if he didn't show up at the appointed place after 6:30, he probably wouldn't come.

"Well... let's talk to him tomorrow about the importance of persistence." After Qin Simeng finished speaking, he started to warm up before running.

…

Because he was not very sleepy, Wu Bin got out of bed after about two hours of sleep. After washing himself, he called Li Yan.

"What time has the appointment been made?" Wu Bin asked.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, can we meet at the hot pot restaurant in front of you at 12 noon?"

"Can."

"OK, I've given her your phone number. I'll send you her phone number later, and you can chat on your own."

"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner next time."

"You're welcome, I'm hanging up."

Not long after hanging up the phone, Wu Bin received a message from Li Yan. After saving the phone number, Wu Bin turned on his computer and started searching the three major journals to see what papers in related fields had been published recently. Is it possible? Become his next research target.

The time for writing papers passed quickly, and it was noon in the blink of an eye. Just when Wu Bin had just changed his clothes and was about to leave school, his mobile phone received a call from Ms. Cao.

PS: Didn’t I tell you before that I would like to show you how powerful my holiday update is! It’s just that my vacation has only started now, so it’s been delayed for a while!
