Chapter 464 I Promise, It's More Interesting than Lithium-Sulfur Batteries

What's it like to dance with two rookies?

Lu Zhou, who readily accepted Vera's invitation, had never thought about this question before.

It was only now that he had an extremely profound and painful understanding of this issue.

"Move your feet to the right a little bit, about 3 centimeters, yes... don't get so close to me, and move a little more naturally. Yes, very good... Hiss——"

Caught off guard, his toes were stepped on. Although the little girl was very light, the pain still made Lu Zhou gasp.

Seeing Lu Zhou's reaction, Vera quickly withdrew her feet and said in a panic.

"Yes, sorry."

With a sullen face, Lu Zhou forced himself to be calm: "It's okay, I don't hurt."

Now he finally realized how difficult it was just now for Ms. Madeleine, who was able to keep smiling after being stepped on, and defuse the embarrassment with ease...

After the song ended, Vera blushed, raised her skirt and bowed slightly to Lu Zhou, then turned around and trotted away.

Lu Zhou, who was finally freed from the "ceremony", heaved a sigh of relief and walked to the edge of the dance floor.

Just then, he happened to meet an acquaintance.

This person is none other than Professor Gerhard Eitel, director of the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Max Planck Society.

Also noticed Lu Zhou, Professor Eitel smiled and said, "Long time no see."

"Long time no see," looking at Professor Eitel, Lu Zhou said solemnly, "Also, thank you for the nomination letter you wrote for me."

"You don't have to thank me. In fact, I am not the only one who recommended you to the Nobel Prize in Chemistry review committee," Professor Eitel said with a smile, "But it was really unexpected. I didn't expect Academician Klass to make such a decision. I dropped my sandwich on the table when I saw it on the news."

Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly: "This... I'm really embarrassed."

"It's okay, the last sandwich got into my stomach anyway." Ethel laughed, and after a joke, he paused for a moment and continued, "Anyway, congratulations!"

In the second half of the dance, until the end of the dance, Lu Zhou never took a step off the dance floor.

With the other guests leaving the Golden Hall, Lu Zhou, who was walking towards the waiting car outside, was surrounded by reporters ambushing him like other Nobel laureates.

Because it was too dark and the people were noisy, he couldn't see which media outlets were there.

However, as long as it was a serious question and a question that could be answered, he gave simple answers one by one.

CNN reporter: "Professor Lu Zhou, how do you plan to spend the nine million crown prize?"

Lu Zhou smiled: "I haven't thought about this issue yet, maybe I will use it to improve my life, maybe I will use it as funding for new research topics... Or, if I really don't think about it, I might put it in the bank on."

CNN reporter: "May I ask, what is your next topic?"

Many people are concerned about this issue.

In other words, most of the people who care about him are concerned about this issue.

Hearing the reporter's question, Lu Zhou did not give a very clear answer.

"It's an interesting topic, it's hard to pull off, but if it's feasible it could change the lives of all of us."

The reporter's eyes lit up, and he asked immediately.

"More fun than lithium-sulfur batteries?"

Not only Tesla's cars, BYD's batteries, Dajiang's drones, and Apple's mobile phones... Since the breakthrough of lithium-sulfur battery technology, batteries with high energy density have been integrated into all aspects of society.

If two years ago it was normal to plug in the data cable and watch the live broadcast while charging the mobile phone, then most people are now accustomed to the life rhythm of charging once every three to five days.

Although not everyone knows the reason for all this, the academic circle will never forget whose credit it is.

Facing the reporter's question, Lu Zhou laughed and said, "I bet this topic is definitely more interesting than lithium-sulfur batteries!"

After that, even though the reporters at the scene tried their best, Lu Zhou didn't reveal a word.

Finally got rid of the reporter.

Lu Zhou got in the special car and went straight back to the hotel.

In the lobby of the hotel, he ran into a senior who had changed from evening gowns to casual clothes.

Also seeing Lu Zhou, Chen Yushan's eyes lit up, and she immediately stepped forward,

"Where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time but I can't find you."

The seats at the banquet are separated, except for the Nobel Prize winners, members of the royal family and important politicians sitting at the main table, other people are scattered in various positions of the venue.

There was a lot of traffic towards the end of the party, and not everyone was interested in dancing. Without knowing it, it is really possible to leave the venue with the crowd flocking to the door in a daze.

Lu Zhou: "Didn't you go to the Golden Hall?"

Chen Yushan: "Golden Hall?"

Lu Zhou nodded.

"There will be a dance after the dinner, in the Golden Hall next to the Blue Hall..."

Hearing that she had missed the last part of the dinner, Chen Yushan jumped up as if she had dropped her wallet: "Ah, why didn't you tell me."

Lu Zhou looked helpless: "I thought you knew."

Isn't this stuff common sense?

emmm...

Probably.

Chen Yushan: "Then... have you danced?"

Lu Zhou nodded: "Yes."

Chen Yushan asked cautiously, "With whom?"

Lu Zhou: "Princess Madeleine."

Chen Yushan's eyes lit up: "Princess? Is she pretty?"

Lu Zhou nodded: "It's pretty..."

With a regretful expression on her face, Chen Yushan sighed: "Hey, envy, I really want to go too."

Lu Zhou looked at her speechlessly.

Isn't it just a dance with the princess, what is there to envy?

At this time, Chen Yushan suddenly looked at him expectantly.

"Is there a next chance?"

Seeing the eyes full of hope, Lu Zhou sweated and said: "This is the Nobel Prize, you still want to have a next time!"

Chen Yushan was stunned for a moment: "Can't you win it twice? I remember that there seems to be no limit to one person getting the Nobel Prize once."

Lu Zhou sighed: "In principle, it is impossible, even if it can be done, it will be quite difficult."

It is not that no one has won the Nobel Prize twice in history, but there are only a handful of people who have won it.

Among them, strength is essential, but to a large extent, there is still a lot of luck involved in deciding whether to win this award in the end.

Even the medal that is in Lu Zhou's pocket at the moment is the same.

If Academician Klass hesitated a little bit about his age when he finally made a decision, or voted, he might have to wait another year.

Lu Zhou knew very well how difficult it was.

Chen Yushan said thoughtfully: "But there is still such a possibility, right?"

Lu Zhou shook his head: "There is little hope."

Chen Yushan giggled and said, "Then it's settled, if there is a next time, you must bring me here again!"

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou smiled nonchalantly, jokingly: "No problem, if there is a next time, let alone bring you to the banquet, you can ask whatever you want."

Lu Zhou didn't dare to stand up for other flags.

But for metaphysics like the Nobel Prize, he really deserves it.
