I am devoted to scientific research, but you want to trick me into having a love relationship?

Chapter 507 Empty Nest Elderly Xu Qingzhou

office.

About half an hour later, just as Xu Qingzhou finished answering the two people's questions, Carson came back with the results of the characterization test.

Looking at this guy's expression, Xu Qingzhou guessed that the performance of this set of samples should be good.

Sure enough, Carson's tone was extremely excited. He placed the paper results and the USB drive in front of Xu Qingzhou and said, "Professor, judging from the data, we have achieved the goal of increasing by 1.6 times."

Xu Qingzhou took the A4 paper with the data recorded and glanced at it.

Tc（K） 15.2–16.5
There has been an increase, but there is still a gap with the industrial level 17-18, and there is also a gap with the current top research level. It should be considered as the lower end of the laboratory.

The Jc value reaches 8.3×10 A/cm.

This is higher than the previously estimated 8×10 A/cm, barely reaching laboratory levels.

"Well, not bad." Xu Qingzhou nodded with a smile.

Mars came over and said, "Professor, your expression should be more excited to match this good result."

"That's right. I now wonder if this is a beautiful dream created by God. We actually improved the performance of superconducting films to this level in just one month."

Carson also said with great emotion.

The two boys were talking to each other, but Sun Simin was quiet and stood quietly behind Xu Qingzhou as usual.

"Keep calm. Don't be blindly confident. You should know that our opponents are all experimental teams with top research capabilities."

Xu Qingzhou felt the need to pour a bucket of cold water on everyone for the time being. While flipping through the report, he said, "The James team next door published a paper last year, and the Jc had already reached 2.2×10A/cm."

"Well, I'm awake from my dream."

Carson spread his hands.

Xu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Although there is still a gap, we also need to acknowledge the progress we have made. However, I still hope that everyone will save their happiness for the extra bonus next month."

When managing a team, you can't always use idealism to motivate everyone's morale. This approach may work once or twice, but if you use it too often it will inevitably appear hypocritical.

Material rewards are sometimes more effective than thousands of words.

"Long live the professor!"

When Carson and Mars heard that there would be a bonus next month, their eyes lit up and they became excited again.

Carson extended an invitation: "Hey, Professor, how about a drink tonight to celebrate?"

"Sorry, I have other things to do." Xu Qingzhou shook his head and refused. He was so busy that he was almost too busy to take off, let alone go to the bar.

Seeing Carson looking at her, Sun Simin quickly shook his head.

"Well, it looks like we're the only two left to enjoy this wonderful evening date."

Seeing that everyone was no longer excited, Xu Qingzhou took another look at the data and said in a deep voice: "The next task is to reach commercial level within two months, with a Tc value between 17K-18K and a Jc ≥ 1.5×10 A/cm. Now we will carry out the experiment according to the previous arrangement. I will come up with a new experimental plan in the next two days."

"Ok, get to work."

After Xu Qingzhou returned home, he lay down on the sofa with his arms and legs spread out, and took a long breath to relieve his fatigue after a tiring day.

In the laboratory, he and Carson were the only ones who could actually do the hands-on work. After finishing the superconducting film experiment in the afternoon, he spent another two hours assembling a battery sample.

When I finished my work and looked at the time, I found that it was already 11 o'clock.

The first day Song Yao was away from home.
Xu Qingzhou glanced at the living room. Only the second cat was wandering around wagging its tail. With one person missing, the living room suddenly seemed empty.

Seeing the two-legged beast looking at him, Er Miao hesitated for a moment, but still took small steps and ran to Xu Qingzhou's belly and lay down.

Then, the man and the cat, like empty-nest elderly people, sat on the sofa stupidly.

Xu Qingzhou had just been lying down for 2 minutes when the phone in his pocket started vibrating.

Song Yao's cold voice came from the phone.

"Got home?"

Xu Qingzhou adjusted himself to a comfortable position and lay down. "Yes, you are still writing something after just coming back?"

"Well, it's only 9 o'clock here. And I slept for two hours during the day, so I'm not sleepy now." In the video, Song Yao rested her chin on her hand. She was a little uncomfortable without this guy by her side after a sudden business trip. "That's great. I just happen to have some things to settle, so I can accompany you."

There is a 3-hour time difference between San Francisco and Boston.

"No."

Song Yao saw through Xu Qingzhou at a glance. This guy wanted to stay up late to do those math calculations again.

Staying up late will cause hair loss. If Xu Qingzhou doesn’t take care of it, he might become a bald man.

That would be terrible.

11 month 21 day.

Song Yao woke up at 7 o'clock in the morning, put on some makeup to cover the dark circles under her eyes caused by jet lag, and went out to meet Professor Morton and others.

Opening ceremony, invited lecture.
There was a social cocktail party at noon, and she met her former teacher at Peking University, Li Daiyue, and her senior Han Shiyi.

"Professor Li."

Song Yao greeted with a smile.

When Li Daiyue saw his apprentice again, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were relaxed, and his tone was gentle: "Xiaoyao, it seems that you are very familiar with Professor Werner Santos and others."

"Well, Professor Morton introduced me to him once, and we met twice."

"Good."

Li Daiyue smiled and said that for people studying economics, personal connections are very important.

Song Yao truly regards Li Daiyue as an elder.

Although Li Daiyue's face is full of seriousness, she has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Take the students she once taught, for example, they would show heartfelt respect for her whenever they mentioned Li Daiyue.

"Schoolgirl Song, long time no see."

Han Shiyi waved.

"Long time no see." Song Yao responded with a smile. Han Shiyi was one of her few friends in college.

"Where's Professor Morton?"

Li Daiyue asked. Looking at her most proud student, the serious old professor smiled rarely. She and Han Shiyi observed here for two minutes.

I saw Song Yao calmly greeting those professors.

The little girl that she once worried about has become completely independent and no longer needs her to worry about her. Although she didn't worry too much about her in the past, she still feels proud when she sees her students grow up.

Song Yao: "She is discussing a project with a few friends. She was still talking about you this morning and said she wanted to treat you to a meal."

Li Daiyue smiled and nodded, "How far have you progressed in writing your thesis?"

“We have now completed the content of statistical arbitrage, order book analysis and microstructure model and high-frequency signal synthesis. Next, we plan to do it.”

Song Yao told Li Daiyue about the progress of her thesis.

Li Daiyue nodded slightly.

Xu Qingzhou is a pretty good guy.

She couldn't help but think of her previous suspicion of Xu Qingzhou, and she was worried that Song Yao would suffer in front of Xu Qingzhou.
Maybe she really doesn't understand the love between these young people.

At this time, Professor Morton also came over with a glass of wine.

Professor Morton raised his glass and said, "Hi, old friend, you seem to be more energetic than before."

"Thanks, you too."

"I have to thank you for introducing me to an excellent student. Mrs. Song has helped me a lot in my work."

The two "mean" old ladies started chatting.

On this side, Kelly also came over, and the three young men and girls started their own topics.
