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

Chapter 767 What the hell can make your heart race?
Inside the meeting room, everyone knew that what had just been said was true, and they really couldn't wait any longer.

One professor frowned and said, "But even if we upgrade and renovate it ourselves, it won't necessarily take less time, and it's easy to only treat the symptoms, not the root cause."

“That’s right. In this kind of situation, it’s better to get it over with quickly than to make changes repeatedly. We can’t afford to fall behind any longer.” A team leader nodded.

Q1-NTST is developing rapidly, which can comfort oneself by reminding one that they are a national-level project.

But EAST is different; it's a real old rival, and every development it makes is a threat to them.

Everyone shared their thoughts briefly, and both sides had valid points. In the end, all eyes were on Zhang Zhigao.

What they say is useless; Zhang Zhigao needs to make the final decision on which technical route to take.

"I still prefer to upgrade based on the existing foundation."

Zhang Zhigao looked around and slowly said, "Everyone, there are too many uncertainties regarding the technology in Kyoto for our devices. Instead of relying on other people's technology, we should do it ourselves."

"I will personally oversee the upgrade plan."

Zhang Zhigao's words were the final word.

Then, he looked at a middle-aged man wearing glasses at the end of the conference room: "We still need to work harder on external publicity. It would be best to have a special report that can showcase the achievements and development potential of our equipment to leaders and the public."

Having worked in administration for so many years, he understands the importance of external communication.

"Okay, I'll contact the TV station tomorrow to see how to arrange it."

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

"Alright, that concludes today's meeting."

Zhang Zhigao waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave the meeting, and then looked at the middle-aged man on his right. "Old Liu, your group stays behind."

Professor Liu is in charge of the monitoring system.

Zhang Zhigao was discussing plans to upgrade the testing system with Professor Liu and the others, while Chen Qiguang and others left the meeting room with the documents.

Back in his office, Chen Qiguang sighed inwardly. Throughout the meeting, he hadn't said anything more than explain the modifications to the magnets.

"Old Zhang won't listen to anyone's opinions anymore."

He realized that Zhang Zhigao was determined not to cooperate with Kyoto.

This place has long been Zhang Zhigao's personal fiefdom.

Unbeknownst to him, his disappointment with this place had grown even more.

He's no good at conducting experiments, but he's good at creating fake results. Look at Ren's side, he's working hard and enthusiastically. The last time I saw him, he seemed to have become more than ten years younger.

October marks the official start of autumn in Kyoto, with cool temperatures making it one of the most comfortable months of the year.

In Xishan No. 1 Courtyard, two young people stayed home instead of going out, just lazing around.

On the 3rd, after lunch, I leaned back on the sofa and watched TV to pass the time.

The nation's birthday is a grand festival for the Xia Kingdom, and these few days are also auspicious days for scientists around the world.

In early October, the Nobel Committee will gradually announce the winners of the 2021 Nobel Prizes.

Xu Qingzhou is naturally more interested in the Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry.

Benjamin Lister and David McMillan were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for developing asymmetric organocatalysis, a technique that enables the efficient synthesis of chiral molecules.

The Nobel Prize in Physics was shared by Yoshiro Manabe, an American of Japanese descent, Klaus Hasselmann of Germany, and Giorgio Parisi of Italy. For the first time in many years, the prize was awarded to the field of climate science, breaking the tradition of the physics prize focusing on particle physics and celestial bodies.

Moreover, the average age of these three recipients is 84.

The highlight this year is that four of the five winners are from Princeton and the Max Planck Society.

"This shows how profound the academic heritage of these centuries-old academic centers is."

Xu Qingzhou was deeply moved.

World-class universities are known for producing a large number of Fields Medalists and Nobel laureates.

Of course, the Nobel Prize is not the only standard for measuring a scholar's contribution to society. China has many great scholars, but to some extent, the Nobel Prize can still represent profound cultural heritage.

"The issue of talent cannot be rushed; it requires time to accumulate. At the very least, the research institute's current development trend is quite good," Xu Qingzhou said optimistically.

"Your smile is so lewd," Song Yao said disdainfully.

"I suggest you use a different word."

Xu Qingzhou rolled his eyes, looked at the yellowing ginkgo trees outside the window, and suddenly had the urge to go for a walk. He squeezed the girl's small hand and asked, "Do you want to go shopping?"

The materials research institute is extremely busy because the ignition experiment is scheduled for October 10th. They only had a 3-day holiday for National Day, and they will definitely be extremely busy for the next few days. I'm taking advantage of these few days to spend with Song Yao.

This is the last day of the holiday.

"I don't want to go."

Song Yao leaned back and rested her head on Xu Qingzhou's lap. "I just want to stay at home and be a good-for-nothing who does nothing."

"The red maple leaves of Fragrant Hills, the ginkgo leaves falling like rain on the State Guest Avenue, and the autumn colors of the Forbidden City under the setting sun—they all wait for no one."

Xu Qingzhou originally wanted to pinch the girl's face to play with, but Song Yao slapped him away.

"Tch, autumn colors don't wait for anyone, it's packed with people outside."

Song Yao remained unmoved, typing away on her phone, chatting with her former roommate Zhang Qiong, and discussing going shopping when there were fewer people at the end of the holiday.

The thought of the crowds outside gave Xu Qingzhou a real headache.

Xia Kingdom does have many beautiful scenic spots, but it's also incredibly crowded, especially during holidays. It's packed with people, making for a completely unpleasant experience.

But for working professionals, the only time they have to go out and have fun is during holidays.

There is currently no solution to this phenomenon.

"As for maple leaves, they're available until mid-November. We'll go see them when things are less busy."

"Alright."

After finishing their conversation, Song Yao put down her phone and stared at Xu Qingzhou's chin for a long time. "From this angle, your jawline is very beautiful."

"Of course, I'm handsome from every angle." Xu Qingzhou raised an eyebrow smugly.

"Virtue."

Song Yao seemed to have thought of something. She climbed off Xu Qingzhou's lap, bit her lip, and said in a haughty voice, "Professor Xu, should we do something to make our hearts race?"

"This afternoon already?" Xu Qingzhou glanced at the time; it was only three in the afternoon.

"The afternoon is just right."

"Come on then."

"I'll get some clothes."

Song Yao ran upstairs in a flash.

Watching the girl's retreating figure, Xu Qingzhou chuckled to himself, "This girl's getting more and more outlandish; she's even taking clothes with her now."

half an hour.

"Change your clothes." Song Yao tossed the clothes in front of Xu Qingzhou and raised her chin.

"Huh, that's it?"

Xu Qingzhou stared at the tracksuit Song Yao had placed in front of him, his expression slightly numb.

"What do you think?"

Song Yao wrinkled her nose and secretly spat. This guy's brain is full of lewd nonsense.

"Last time we ran 8 kilometers, this time we can try to increase it to 10 kilometers."

"."

What the hell can make your heart race?!
