Chapter 323 Science Island

"Going to Science Island tomorrow?"

In the office, Wu Bin, who had just learned the news from Academician Chen Xianhui, was a little surprised.

Academician Chen Xianhui nodded: "Well, you haven't been there yet, right?"

"It's true that I didn't pass it, but it's still a great name that I've admired for a long time."

The official name of Science Island is Luzhou Institute of Physical Sciences. It is a comprehensive key scientific research base under the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is also responsible for cultivating the next generation of scientific research talents.

As the leading university in Luzhou, the relationship between HKUST and Science Island is naturally very close. The most important one is that the training of graduate students from the Chinese Academy of Sciences is assigned to HKUST. These graduate students will study at the main campus of the school during their first year of study. I only go to Science Island to do research when I have to publish a paper.

In the end, the graduation certificate was handed over to them by HKUST.

Academician Chen Xianhui smiled after hearing this and said: "Recently, Science Island has applied for a large project worth 250 million yuan in superconductivity. With the results of previous years, it can be regarded as a leader in superconductivity. So, I just lured some old foxes here."

"So the academic exchange is just a cover?" Wu Bin couldn't help blurting out.

"That's not the case. It's not their main purpose to come to HKUST anyway."

"Oh~" Wu Bin nodded with some understanding, and then asked: "Does the 250 million project refer to the special research on next-generation high-field superconducting magnets?"

"Yes, last year Science Island made major breakthroughs in realizing magnetic confinement nuclear fusion, accelerator and 14T magnetic resonance high-field superconducting magnet technology. It can be regarded as a very beautiful answer. In addition, we have a good chance to seize the opportunity. Technologies such as high-temperature superconducting applications are at the commanding heights in the world, so the state’s financial support is still very strong.”

"Hmm... seize the commanding heights of the world?"

"Huh, what? Have you already started thinking about applying for scientific research funds?" Academician Chen Xianhui looked at Wu Bin and said with a smile.

"Yes." Wu Bin nodded.

Academician Chen Xianhui was stunned by this second answer, and then he said with a smile: "You are really not humble at all. Okay, let's go back. We will meet at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Don't be late."

"Okay, don't worry, teacher." After saying that, Wu Bin left the office.

In the evening, on the second floor of the small restaurant in front of the University of Science and Technology, Li Yan, Gong Chengwei and others sat in a circle, chatting happily.

Because Gong Chengwei and the others will go back to Peking University directly after going to Science Island tomorrow, so Li Yan came here to see him off today.

"Then I'll drink Sprite instead of wine and give Li Shen a toast. It's a waste, it's a waste." Gong Chengwei raised his glass and said to Li Yan.

"Weishen is polite, as you should." After speaking, Li Yan clinked glasses with him and drank all the orange juice in the glass.

Gong Chengwei, who also drank a glass of Sprite, burped and asked with some confusion: "I heard... Lin Ziqi was also admitted to the University of Science and Technology, right?"

"Yes." Li Yan nodded, "But she was participating in CUPT these two days, so she didn't come."

"Oh~ No wonder." Gong Chengwei nodded, "CUPT, speaking of which, I also participated last year."

After speaking, he covered his mouth with his hand and added mysteriously: "To tell you the truth, I was really afraid of meeting Wu Shen when I participated."

"Why did you blame me again?" Wu Bin, who was eating vegetables, couldn't help but roll his eyes at Gong Chengwei.

"How dare you? I'm really scared. You're too perverted. But luckily, you didn't come. Do you disdain such a small competition?" Gong Chengwei teased.

"No, I was arranged by the school to participate in the National College Student Physics Competition."

"Okay, your school is wise. Monsters like you should be sent to fight foreigners." After saying that, he stretched out his hand to Wu Bin who was about to speak: "Wait, don't say anything yet, let me guess, and I accidentally flattered you." Come back a champion, right?"

Wu Bin, who had been criticized for several days, complained lazily and continued to eat.

Seeing that Wu Bin ignored him, Gong Chengwei stopped bragging and asked seriously: "Tell me, what's the question?"

"Solar Sailing Journey to Mars."

"Tsk, it's indeed a competition sponsored by the Astronomical Association. The question is indeed about running into the universe. I've written it down."

"What? Wei Shen also plans to hold a cup this year?" Wu Bin asked.

"It's better to be prepared for any emergencies. It's always good to know more about it."

Just when Wu Bin was about to say something else, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He pulled it out and saw that it was Lin Ziqi calling.

"Sorry, pick up the phone." After greeting several people at the table, Wu Bin walked out of the room with his cell phone.

"Come to announce the good news?" Wu Bin said first after pressing the call button.

"Yes! We are in the finals!"

"Excellent, keep up the good work."

But what came from the other end of the phone was a sigh, "Oh, the competition is much more difficult than I thought. Although we made it to the finals, our total score in the preliminaries is not too high."

"Oh? Did you meet a god-like enemy or a ghost-like teammate?"

"The opponents are too strong. They were so eloquent during the debate. They were like machine guns, and they kept me stunned for a while."

"It shouldn't be. You have such a solid foundation, how can you fail to argue? Isn't it because of stage fright?"

"I'm a little nervous."

"Why panic? With your strength, just fight steadily. Come on, I'll take you to a good place when I win."

"Really!? What a good place!?" Lin Ziqi's voice suddenly became excited.

"Keep it a secret and I'll tell you when you win."

"Okay! It's settled!"

"Yeah, it's agreed."

"Then I'll go read the information first, bye!" After saying that, Lin Ziqi hurriedly hung up the phone.

'Hmm... I remember that Science Island allows tourists to visit it. It's okay. Even if it doesn't work then, it should be okay to ask the teacher for help. ’

After thinking about it, Wu Bin turned around and returned to the room.

…

At 7:30 the next morning, Wu Bin, carrying a bag, appeared at the gathering place on time and met Gong Chengwei and others who had come as early as him.

After saying hello, the group quickly arrived and got on the bus heading towards Science Island.

After sitting for about half an hour, the group arrived at their destination.

"Okay, the environment is nice." Gong Chengwei got out of the car and patted Wu Bin and said.

Wu Bin nodded and replied: "I would like to come here to study in graduate school in the future."

After hearing this, Gong Chengwei immediately waved his hands seriously and said: "Sorry, I was born as a member of Peking University, and I will die as the soul of Peking University! No one can shake this belief!"

"vomit……"

With a look of disgust on his face, Wu Bin decisively left Gong Chengwei and returned to the team at HKUST.

PS: I’m back from a business trip! I miss you so much!

Wow...the past half month has been really busy, but I have also gained a lot, which is quite fulfilling.

Not to mention, I really missed Wu Bin a lot when I was busy, so I coded a chapter as soon as I got home, so comfortable!
