Exit of Jinling Airport.

Professor Rudy Davik, dressed in a suit, stood beside the railing, repeatedly reaching for his tie and looking anxiously to the left and right.

Although the faces of Westerners are not uncommon in this cosmopolitan city, the way he stands outside the airport and looks around is somewhat eye-catching.

In the past half hour, at least two airport employees have come to ask him if he needs help.

"Oh, God......" After glancing at his watch for the first time, Professor David said in broken Chinese, whispering in fragments, "How long will it take for Professor Lu to arrive?" Right? He should be back home today, right? ”

After Lu Zhou's email last time, he was in ecstasy and immediately shared the good news with his collaborator, Professor Wei Hong of the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

After learning that their research had attracted the attention of the most authoritative scholars of the IMCRC, the two did not hesitate at all, and immediately prepared a report meeting for the Z-particle gravitational anomaly as instructed by Academician Lu in the email, and arranged the report meeting on the fourth day after the Nobel Prize ceremony, and at the same time informed Academician Lu of the time of the report.

However, just when the two of them were excitedly thinking that their academic careers would soon enter a period of take-off and become famous in one fell swoop, Academician Lu did not appear at the report meeting.

Not only that, but there were few people at the report meeting, which was completely cold.

Later, when he inquired, he learned that Lu Zhou had postponed his plan to return to Shanghai for a few days, and instead of returning to Shanghai as planned, he had diverted to Copenhagen to attend a climate summit this month.

Well, it's actually nothing, it's a big deal to start another one when the time comes.

However, what made David feel uneasy was that Lu Zhou, who missed their report meeting, not only did not say anything, but seemed to have forgotten about the matter, and did not even mean to ask.

Whether it is Professor David Ke or Professor Wei Hong, they can't help but feel a little worried about whether their research has "fallen out of favor".

Therefore, when he learned from the news last night that Lu Zhou would return to China today, he immediately took Professor Wei on the magnetic levitation and made a special trip to Jinling to see if he could impress Lu Zhou with his sincerity and try to "redeem" it.

Standing next to Professor Derick, Professor Wei Hong thought for a moment and spoke.

"After all, it's a private flight, not to mention that the itinerary is arranged with people, and it's not surprising that the plane stays in the sky for a few hours."

"Speaking of which, what does the banner hanging at the front door say? I can't see it clearly. ”

"Warmly welcome Academician Lu Zhou of our city to win the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics......" Glancing at Professor David next to him, Professor Wei Hong finally couldn't help but sigh and vented the emotions in his heart, "...... To be honest, brother dei, I think we're working in vain. If Academician Lu is really interested in our research, he will go to IMCRC sooner or later. If he's not interested, it's unlikely that we'll be waiting for him here. ”

"But this is our only chance, and no one in the IMCRC is optimistic about this direction...... Speaking of, what is Brother Dei? My Chinese is not that good. ”

“…… Friends mean. ”

Since IMCRC is becoming the new center of physics in the world, learning Chinese has become another trendy thing for physicists after learning French.

In addition to comparing each other and showing off their IQ and language talents, there is another more realistic factor is that the latest experimental data of the IMCRC is now basically released in the original version in Chinese, and then translated into other languages based on the original version.

In addition, some of the reports published on the official website also tend to publish first-hand information in Chinese.

Although there is not a lot of text involved in this, the most taboo thing in academic matters is to eat what others have chewed.

In order to make sure that the materials they get are the most original versions that have not been processed, many professors who have worked at IMCRC for more than half a year have begun to try to learn Chinese.

Although Davick has been working in Shanghai from Brussels, Belgium for a year, his language talent is limited compared to other talents here.

So far, his language level is only just enough for normal communication, and there is still a long way to go before he is proficient in various idiomatic expressions and can read Chinese stalks.

The two of them just chatted and passed the time.

Just when Wei Hong was a little hungry and was about to propose whether to go to the fast food restaurant next to him to eat something, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder from behind.

To be precise, he patted both of them on the shoulder.

Wei Hong was about to turn around when an unfamiliar and serious voice came from behind the two.

"Can you show me your ID card or passport?"

……

Ambassador Du Yanming's words are not unreasonable.

Not even to mention him, Lu Zhou, who had just stepped off the plane from the gangway of Jinling Airport, felt the grandeur of the atmosphere before he walked out of the airport.

A large banner was marked with his name and a welcome slogan, and the leading group of the municipal party committee and the first and second leaders of the high-tech park all stood at the pick-up gate in formal clothes.

To be honest, it's embarrassing to make it so grand.

Seeing so many people here, and the camera next to him, Lu Zhou was embarrassed to give his dear girlfriend an affectionate kiss.

Standing in the most conspicuous position of the crowd looking at Lu Zhou, Chen Yushan, who looked at her beloved, was also restraining the urge to come forward and kiss.

The two are public figures, and because of the influence of Star Technology in China, there will be no reporter to dig deep into the life behind them, but this kind of thing is not just not reported by others, but you also have to pay attention to it.

At the very least, be a little patient in a crowded place.

After taking a deep breath, Chen Yushan pursed her lips and smiled, and waved her hand lightly in the direction of Lu Zhou, telling all the tenderness in that watery gaze.

Capturing the tenderness in that gaze, Lu Zhou also blinked at her lightly, and flirted with the meaning of "go back and talk about it".

However, I don't know if it's because of the wrong information transmission, or because I'm too handsome, he found that the senior sister who was looking at him and smiling suddenly blushed, and after glancing at him, he drifted away from the other side's gaze.

This reaction really made Lu Zhou a little confused.

Possible......

I guess I was electrocuted by my own eyes.

He thought about it, and he could only understand it like this.

As the pick-up team approached, an old man with shiny hair stepped forward and enthusiastically stretched out his right hand.

"Academician Lu, welcome home!"

Lu Zhou smiled and shook the old man's hand and said.

"Secretary Zhou is polite, it's only been less than half a month since I left, so there's no need to be so grand."

Since Secretary Liu finally moved the stool, now Secretary Zhou, who was transferred from Beijing, is the leader of Jinling. Lu Zhou only remembered his surname Zhou, and he didn't ask what his specific name was, and he didn't care.

However, the old man who took the lead in greeting him was very enthusiastic, and as soon as they met, he took his hand and said.

"Where is this polite! Although you have only been away for half a month, in this half month, you have won such a big honor that can be recorded in history on behalf of our country in the world! As the secretary of Jinling City, I should welcome you home on behalf of the general public. ”

In the face of Secretary Zhou's invitation, Lu Zhou did not refuse, and the two walked like this, chatting and talking.

When chatting, Lu Zhou found that this Secretary Zhou was also an interesting person, at least very good at chatting.

The two talked about the Nobel Prize to global climate action, from the situation in the Baltic Sea to the speech of the necessity expedition, and finally somehow ran off topic to the celebration of the Bird's Nest some time ago.

"That Academician Lu, look at this holographic gymnasium...... Can you also build one in Jinling? ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhou, who was talking about the future development trend of holographic technology, was slightly stunned, and immediately understood what Secretary Zhou meant.

went around in such a big circle, it turned out that he was playing the idea of the holographic system......

Knowing what this Secretary Zhou was thinking, Lu Zhou smiled and said.

"Technically, it's fine, it's just that a system is not cheap, and it mainly depends on whether your budget allows it."

As soon as he heard that there was a play, Secretary Zhou immediately said.

"It's easy to talk about the budget, and we don't have to build one as big as a bird's nest."

Lu Zhou: "Then how big is the gymnasium you are going to build?" ”

Secretary Zhou: "Almost twenty or thirty thousand people are enough." ”

Twenty or thirty thousand people are okay.

The capacity of 20,000 or 30,000 people is already the standard of a first-class gymnasium, right?

Is it really okay to budget?

Lu Zhou, who was thinking like this, actually didn't know that Jinling City could be said to be rich and wealthy over the years, and it was really not bad for money.

Especially after the construction of the high-tech park, the miracle of GDP has been created every year, if even a new stadium cannot be built, who will believe it?

One or two hundred million yuan of infrastructure investment is a sprinkling of water for Jinling City, which has deep pockets. Spending some money to enrich the spiritual and cultural life of the people in the park is excellent in every sense.

“…… I don't know exactly what to do, but I can only say that it is feasible from a technical point of view, so let's let my CEO ...... What's going on over there? ”

Just as Lu Zhou was talking, a circle of people at the exit of the airport attracted his attention.

I saw a man with a foreign face and a man who was seen to be Chinese, explaining something to the police officers who had gathered around.

When Lu Zhou saw the two people, the two people happened to see him as well.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, the interrogation and inspection were about to end, and the slightly taller foreign man suddenly screamed excitedly after seeing Lu Zhou, but was immediately stopped by the two highly nervous special police officers next to him.

"Lu, Academician Lu Zhou! It's me! Damn it...... I've shown you all my passport, I'm not a KB molecule, I'm here to study physics! Don't believe me, look at my hair! Look, look at this sparse brain. ”

Stunned as he looked in the direction where the commotion was taking place, Lu Zhou stared at the man who called his name for a long time.

emmmm……

Who is this guy?
