I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 361 Traveling Around Mai Country (4302)

Due to the existence of the California Public Colleges and Universities Affirmative Action Act, public schools are prohibited from using factors such as race and gender as admissions criteria.

Therefore, as one of the top public universities in the United States, UCLA (University of California, Los Santos), which belongs to the University of California system, has a very high proportion of people from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Including international students, the proportion of Zhou Americans admitted to UCLA last year exceeded 12%, while the proportion of African Americans was only 3% and the proportion of Barat Americans was only 5%.

Not only students, but also professors and teachers have a high proportion of Zhou people.

This is also part of the reason why Fang Yu chose UCLA as his school background when he made up the identity of Fang Jisi.

Emily is a doctoral student of Jay Hauser, head of the UCLA Particle Physics Laboratory, and is currently responsible for recruiting and guiding undergraduate students for summer internships.

The research atmosphere at UCLA is relatively free. Even if undergraduates want to participate in internships on certain topics, they only need to contact the professor in charge of the topic, or apply through the Undergraduate Research Center, and they can participate in the research of some topics.

Jay Hauser participated in the discovery of the top quark and the Higgs boson, and also participated in the construction of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Although he is not a core contributor, he is still one of the professional masters in the field of high-energy physics at UCLA.

At present, the old man basically travels between Miami and Switzerland, and is responsible for the project management of the meson system in Geneva.

Jay Hauser's research group is quite popular, especially among the students of Dazhou.

Because this old man has a good personality, can speak Zhou language quite well, and can cook shredded pork with fish flavor.

Therefore, when Emily saw Fang Yu's name on the project application materials a week ago, she was not surprised. She just thought he was another Zhou-American nerd, and he looked pleasing to the eye in the photo.

But when Fang Yu appeared in person, Emily was attracted almost instantly, and her voice trembled when she spoke to Fang Yu.

But Fang Yu was not really interested in Emily, a female doctor. Just as a woman's sexual value would not be reduced due to her poor character, a woman's sexual value would not be increased by understanding quantum mechanics and being able to solve partial differential equations.

Otherwise, the most charming person in the world should be Marie Curie, who won the Nobel Prize twice, rather than Marilyn Monroe, who worked as a factory worker at the age of sixteen and did not even finish high school.

Another reason why Fang Yu chose UCLA was because of the ETPD here, which was previously the world's largest electric tokamak facility ET.

However, ten years ago, ET was shut down due to lack of funds. A few years later, it was restarted, but without the reactor. Only the giant toroidal plasma device was retained. After upgrading, it became a general laboratory for experimental plasma physics research at UCLA.

Fang Yu didn't want to steal the equipment. Stealing it was useless. The most important thing was to learn on-site how to build a tokamak and what the difficulties were.

Only when we really understand these things, can the superconducting slag from the original furnace and the cyber steel that can almost isolate itself from all elemental damage be truly put to good use.

Yes, controlled nuclear fusion.

When Fang Yu discovered that the slag from the original furnace was superconducting, this was the first thing he thought of.

Fang Yu was not a physics major. Based on his knowledge of high school physics and his interest in science and technology, he only knew that the reason why controlled nuclear fusion would always take another fifty years to achieve was due to the extremely high cost of magnetic field confinement and the lack of suitable high-temperature resistant materials.

But it is different with room-temperature superconducting materials and cyber steel that can isolate itself from all elemental damage.

In a superconducting environment, an extremely strong magnetic field can be obtained at a very low cost, thereby stably confining nuclear fusion in the reactor through plasma. The property of Cybertron steel that isolates it from all elemental damage can be used as a high-temperature resistant material in the nuclear fusion process.

In this way, the two biggest difficulties of nuclear fusion disappear, and controlled nuclear fusion can be fully achieved using the current tokamak technology.

In essence, controlled nuclear fusion is a problem of materials science and engineering.

Especially which type of plasma to choose and what method to use to confine it, for Fang Yu, these two points are currently the real technical bottlenecks!
Because even with room-temperature superconductors and ultra-high-temperature resistant materials, problems such as plasma turbulence and particle escape are still engineering challenges that cannot be ignored.

However, when faced with such problems, especially engineering problems, unlike the chip industry which has accumulated countless data, there is too little specific engineering data about Tokamaks. It is not enough to talk about it on paper based on large models of grapefruit and oranges. On-site observation and learning are necessary.

How to choose plasma? What are the constraints? There are too few public data and experimental processes to deduce it.

So, Fang Yu really came to help Youzi study and attend classes, not to steal this thing.

There's no point in stealing this thing.

In fact, in terms of tokamak, Da Zhou’s strength may even be a little stronger.

As for why he didn’t study in Da Zhou, you guess.

"By the way, Dr. Castillo, I see a lot of picket lines on the road. Has anything happened in the school recently?" Fang Yu signed the handover form, handed the document to Emily, and asked casually.

Emily was not satisfied with Fang Yu's address: "Just call me Emily. This is a strike organized by the academic union to protest against the low salary and inability to maintain basic living. So you see, I'm the only one on the fourth floor now."

After saying that, Emily looked at Fang Yu with a flushed face, as if to say, "Look, I've told you that I'm the only one here, so you can do whatever you want without worrying about it."

Seeing Fang Yu didn't respond, Xiaoxiao was about to leave. Emily quickly added, "This strike was quite a big deal. The speaker for the graduation ceremony a few days ago was replaced because Mayim Bialik supported the academic union strike and was unwilling to cross the picket line to Pauley Pavilion. In the end, the school found Larry Fink to save the situation, otherwise there would be no alumni representative speaking at this year's graduation ceremony."

“But it still caused some controversy because of Larry Fink’s Jude identity.”

After saying this, Emily suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing and looked around.

Thank God, they were all on strike.

Fang Yu's pupils shrank slightly: "Mayim Bialik is the actor who played Amy in The Big Bang Theory, right? Larry Fink is?"

Emily explained: "I didn't go to watch the BlackRock CEO's speech, but many classmates said that when Larry Fink was speaking, there were constant protests from the audience."

Fang Yu nodded calmly and smiled at Emily: "Okay, thank you Dr. Castillo."

Fang Yu simply said goodbye to Emily and left Knudsen Building where Professor Hauser's office was located.

I'm here to study, not to pick up girls!

"It's done, let's go." In front of everyone, Fang Yu patted the faces of Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, who were wearing masks and sunglasses and standing in the shade waiting, and got on his Model X.

People can't just look at the photos. If you only look at the photos, Gigi Hadid is a typical photogenic beauty. The model's poker face in the photo looks very ordinary, but the real person is even more outstanding than Kendall Jenner, especially when she smiles, she is completely two different people compared to when she doesn't smile.

Moreover, Gigi Hadid is only 38 meters tall, but she has a small frame which Fang Yu likes very much, and her shoe size is only .

Little-known fact: Generally speaking, the smaller a woman's feet are, the better she feels.

As soon as he got on the bus, Fang Yu saw an old black man with tattoos all over his body looking around at something not far away. From time to time, he was discovered by passing students, who surrounded him and asked to take photos with him.

It looks like the Lakers' rookie guard Clarkson?

It turns out it wasn’t Lao Hei, but Fei Hou.

“Damn it, why is he here!?” Kendall’s face changed, and she immediately realized what was happening. She turned around and yelled at Gigi Hadid in the back seat: “I told you not to post on Instagram, he must have seen your Instagram!”

Gigi knew she was in the wrong and kept apologizing.

Kendall couldn't care less about her bestie. She pulled Fang Yu's arm and explained, "I only dated him for two months. We haven't been in touch for a long time. My phone number has been blocked. If you don't believe me, ask Gigi."

Fang Yu thought, what are you explaining? Who asked you? Our relationship is just a partnership. Even if you have another boyfriend, I don't object. Do you have to explain to me?
Gigi Hadid made amends and nodded vigorously in the back seat: "Yes, Keith, it was Clarkson who kept pestering Kendall. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have posted on Instagram. He must have seen my Instagram and came here."

Before she could finish her words, Gigi Hadid's phone rang. When she looked up, she saw Clarkson holding the phone and looking around.

Although the workmanship of the Model X was not very good, it was a car worth more than 100,000 dollars after all. The three of them were sitting in the car, and Clarkson couldn't hear the phone call at all.

But the distance itself was not far. Clarkson only needed to look into the car to see Kendall taking off her mask and glasses and sitting in the passenger seat.

Sure enough, after looking around for a few times, Clarkson's eyes lit up. He took two steps and patted the front windshield of the ModelX, yelling at Kendall to come down and talk.

Kendall was so scared that her face turned pale, not because she was afraid that Clarkson would hit her, but because she was afraid of causing a scandal.

She is now the most well-known family member of the Kardashian family besides Kim Kardashian, and her Instagram followers have exceeded 6000 million.

Seeing that Kendall kept ignoring him, Clarkson became even more agitated. He pointed at Fang Yu in the driver's seat and spit at Kendall.

Fang Yu frowned as he watched. Fuck, do you have bad breath? Although this car has a defense mode against biological and chemical weapons, it can't defend against nausea.

How about going down and giving him a good beating?
He's a rising star in the NBA. Even if you don't beat him, it must feel good to play a game with him and beat him up, right?
Fang Yu thought about it and decided to forget it. There was no point in stealing someone's girlfriend and then beating him up. It would be a crime to kill him.

And Duterte is still good.

For the sake of your current leader, forget it.

Fang Yu rolled down the window and told Clarkson to get out. Clarkson, who was spitting, subconsciously rolled onto the road.

Fang Yu stepped on the accelerator and the Model X drove past Clarkson and headed towards Wilshere Avenue.

"Fuck! The foreigner sitting next to me almost made me vomit. Damn, it's such a pain in the ass. I have to book a first-class cabin on the return trip. Old Huang, you're the only one who insisted on saving money and booking economy class. Do you regret it?"

As soon as he landed, Luo Ziming's face turned green.

Including takeoff and landing, we spent a full sixteen hours on the plane. Not only could I not smoke because I was craving for cigarettes, but the last few hours also saw a few foreigners in the cabin smelling worse and worse.

Not all foreigners stink, but these few are enough to make no grass or trees grow within a two-meter radius.

The smelly one happened to be sitting next to Luo Ziming. Luo Ziming was so irritated by the stink for the past ten hours that he felt like his brain was numb.

We finally landed, but after landing we found that the bridge was broken and couldn't be moved out, so we had to switch to a shuttle bus. The car was packed with people, and it was a hot summer day, so the smell was even worse.

Lu Xuechang and Huang Xiang also looked unhappy. Hearing Luo Ziming's complaint, Huang Xiang sneered, "When we checked in, we were asked to sit in the same row, but you refused, saying that you had a feeling that there must be a beauty next to you. You deserved it."

The three of them were bickering while waiting for their luggage.

Since there was a guarantee of a separate make-up exam later, the three of us came to New York this time and planned to spend more time playing for ten days or half a month after the meeting.

Lu Xuechang said that when he was a child, he had a set of VCD English teaching materials, which was passed down from his ancestors, called Traveling Through Miami. His father forced him to watch it when he was a child. After watching it, he had to take an exam, and if he didn't know the answer, he would be beaten.

This time, he wanted to see whether Maiguo was the same as what he saw in the VCD. If not, he would take a photo for his father and say, "Look, that thing you showed me was just fabricated nonsense that misled students."

Huang Xiang has a dream of traveling around the world, but now he is just traveling on public funds.

Only Luo Ziming had no interest in traveling and no childhood dreams.

After leaving the airport, they took the Uber that Jiang Nanzhen had arranged for them and headed straight to the Marriott Marquis.

"Hello, Senior Sister Jiang." As the three of them arrived at the hotel entrance, they saw Jiang Nanzhen, who was wearing a cheongsam and waiting in the lobby, and they hurriedly greeted her with blushing faces.

Senior sister’s figure is so tempting, and her face is so rosy, who can resist it?

Looking at the guests around, they all turned their eyes unconsciously to Jiang Nanzhen.

Jiang Nanzhen exchanged a few pleasantries with the three of them, then chose the eighth floor where the lobby was located outside the elevator. She led them to the lobby and smiled, "Give me your passports, I'll check you in. You must be tired, right? Go back to your room and get some rest, and then we'll talk about the schedule for tomorrow's meeting."

The three of them hurriedly took out their passports, and saw Jiang Nanzhen taking their passports to the front desk. Not long after, she gave them six room cards.

The Marriott Marquis in Manhattan is right in Times Square. It’s not actually very luxurious, and is far less comfortable than the JW Marriott in Central Park. It’s also a bit old, but BlackRock often chooses it for meetings because it’s big enough, with more than 1,800 guest rooms and a large enough conference hall.

Jiang Nanzhen looked at her watch and said, "You guys take a break first. Let's have two hours... er, three hours, at five in the afternoon. I'll take you to dinner and we can talk about tomorrow's arrangements."

"No need. We are not that tired. Senior sister, do you want to go out for a walk with me later?" Luo Ziming boldly flirted with his senior sister.

Jiang Nanzhen pursed her lips and smiled. She didn't know if it was the illusion of the three people, but she always felt that every frown and smile of Senior Sister Jiang was soul-stirring and yet somewhat meaningful.

"You may not be tired, but I am. I'm going back to my room first. See you in three hours."
