Chapter 361 Traveling Through Mai Country (4302)
Due to the existence of the California Public Colleges and Universities Equal Opportunity 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 African Americans accounted for only 3% and Barat Americans accounted for 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 fabricated the identity of Fangis.
Emily is a doctoral student of Jay Hauser, head of the UCLA particle physics laboratory, and is currently responsible for recruiting and guiding undergraduate 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 to 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 Dazhou students.
Because this old man has a good personality, can speak Zhou language, and speaks it quite well, and can also cook fish-flavored shredded pork.
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 the photo looked very pleasing to the eye.
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 decrease due to her poor character, a woman's sexual value would not increase because she understood quantum mechanics and could 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 the upgrade, it became a general laboratory for experimental plasma physics research at UCLA.
Fang Yu didn't want to steal this equipment. Stealing this thing was useless. The most important thing was to learn on-site how to build a tokamak and what the difficulties were.
Only by truly understanding 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 of the original furnace was superconducting, this was the first thing he thought of.
Fang Yu was not a physics major. With his knowledge of high school physics and his interest in technology, he only knew that the reason why controlled nuclear fusion would always take fifty years to realize was because of the extremely high cost of magnetic field confinement and the lack of suitable high-temperature resistant materials.
But with room-temperature superconducting materials and cyber steel that can isolate from all elemental damage, things are different.
In a superconducting environment, an extremely strong magnetic field can be obtained at a very low cost, thereby stably confining nuclear fusion within 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 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 for confinement, 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 just talk about it on paper based on large models of grapefruit and oranges. On-site observation and learning are necessary.
How do you choose a plasma? What are the various methods of confinement? There's so little publicly available data and experimental procedures that I can't deduce anything.
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 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 wasn't happy with Fang Yu's address. "Just call me Emily. This is a strike organized by the academic union. We're protesting the low salaries and the inability to make a living. So you see, I'm the only one on the fourth floor right 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 react, Xiaoxiao was about to leave. Emily quickly added, "This strike was quite a big deal. A few days ago, the commencement speaker was replaced because Mayim Bialik supported the academic union strike and refused to cross the picket line to Pauley Pavilion. In the end, the school called in Larry Fink to save the situation. Otherwise, there would have been no alumni representative speaking at this year's commencement 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 actress who played Amy in The Big Bang Theory, right? Larry Fink is?"
Emily explained: "I didn't go to observe the BlackRock CEO's speech, but many students 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 1.78 meters tall, but she has a small frame, which is what Fang Yu likes very much, and her shoe size is only 38.
Fun fact: Generally speaking, the smaller a woman's feet are, the better they feel.
A practical weapon.
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 and they surrounded him to take photos.
It looks like the Lakers' rookie guard Clarkson?
It turns out it wasn’t Lao Hei, but Fei Hou.
"What the hell, why is he here!?" Kendall Jenner'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 Jenner didn't have time to bother with 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, "Why are you explaining anything? Who asked you that? Our relationship is just that of a partnership. Even if you have another boyfriend, I don't object. Do you need to explain to me?"
Gigi Hadid made amends, nodding vigorously in the back seat: "Yes, Kees, it was Clarkson who kept pestering Kendall Jenner. 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 US dollars after all. The three of them were sitting in the car, and Clarkson could not hear the phone ringing at all.
But the distance itself was not far. Clarkson only needed to look into the car to see Kendall Jenner, who had taken off her mask and glasses and was 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 Model X, yelling at Kendall Jenner to come down and talk.
Kendall Jenner turned pale with fear, 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 member of the Kardashian family besides Kim Kardashian, and her Instagram followers have exceeded 60 million.
Seeing that Kendall Jenner kept ignoring him, Clarkson became even more agitated. He pointed at Fang Yu in the driver's seat and spit at Kendall Jenner.
Fang Yu frowned as he watched. "Fuck, do you have bad breath?" This car has a defense mode against biological and chemical weapons, but it can't protect against nausea.
How about going down and giving him a good beating?
This is a rising star in the NBA. Even if you don't beat him, it would be cool to play a game with him and beat him up, right?
Fang Yu thought about it and decided to forget it. There was no need to steal someone's girlfriend and then beat her up. It would be a crime to kill someone.
And Duterte is still good.
For the sake of your current leader, forget it.
Fang Yu rolled down the car window and said to Clarkson, "Get lost!" 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! That foreigner sitting next to me is making me vomit. Holy shit, this is such a pain in the ass. I'm going to book first class on the way back. 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, I 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 made the smell of several foreigners in the cabin worse and worse.
Not all foreigners stink, but just 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, the air bridge was found to be malfunctioning and could not be opened, so we had to switch to a shuttle bus. The car was crowded with people, and it was a hot summer day, so the smell was even worse.
Lu Xuechang and Huang Xiang's expressions were also not very good. Hearing Luo Ziming's complaint, Huang Xiang sneered, "When we checked in, we were asked to sit in the same row, but you insisted on not sitting there, saying you had a premonition that there would be a beautiful woman next to you. Don't you deserve 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 them came to New York this time and decided to spend ten more days or half a month playing after the meeting.
Lu Xuechang said that when he was a child, he had a set of VCD English teaching materials, which were passed down from his ancestors and were called "Traveling Across Miami". His father forced him to watch them when he was a child, and he had to take an exam after watching them. 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 it was different, he would take a photo for his father and say, "Look, that thing you showed me was just a fabrication that misled students."
Huang Xiang has always had 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 unconsciously turned their eyes 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, covering her mouth with her hands. "Give me your passports, I'll check you in. You must be tired, right? Go back to your room and get some rest. We'll discuss the schedule for tomorrow's meeting later."
The three of them hurriedly took out their passports, and saw Jiang Nanzhen taking their passports to the front desk. Soon, she gave them six room cards.
The Marriott Marquis in Manhattan is right in Times Square. It’s not particularly 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... uh, three hours, maybe five in the afternoon. I'll take you to dinner and we can discuss tomorrow's plans."
"No need, we are not that tired. Senior sister, do you want to go out for a walk together 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 of them, 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."
I got stuck on a writer's block for no apparent reason. I had already thought of what to write yesterday, but when I woke up, everything I wrote was crooked. It's really weird.
I owe one update, I'll try to make it up tomorrow.
Bow down.
