Chapter 352: Two Professors Xu
Due to confidentiality reasons, no one dared to post the photos of Xu You and Lu Zhiyao online.
This is something that everyone feels is a little lacking.
Compared with other CPs, this so-called "academic master CP" has brought them more role models.
This makes everyone understand that if you want to find an excellent partner, you must make yourself better.
After that, Lu Zhiyao’s account in the Xueba Community was also exposed.
The mutual following between Xu You and Lu Zhiyao further confirms this statement.
Lu Zhiyao’s nickname in the Xueba community is “Lu Zhiyao”, a name with a very profound meaning.
Unfortunately, they did not see any photos of Lu Zhiyao on her homepage.
Lu Zhiyao’s avatar is an image of a cat.
And there is not a single personal photo in Lu Zhiyao's personal album.
As the heat of this matter gradually increased.
There have also been some negative voices.
He began to question Lu Zhiyao's thesis and suspected that it was Xu You who enabled Lu Zhiyao to achieve her current results.
However, these malicious rumor-mongering accounts were quickly and completely banned.
A person of Xu You's level cannot be allowed to be slandered by these people.
…
After Xu Zhou made plans to come to Jijing, he informed Xu You of the news.
Xu You was very much looking forward to Xu Zhou's arrival. This time, he could finally have a good academic exchange with Xu Zhou.
After Xu Zhou arrived in Jijing, he was picked up from the station and taken to Jijing University by people arranged by Xu You.
In Jijing, Xu You must fulfill his duties as a host.
Xu You and Lu Zhiyao were waiting for Xu Zhou at the gate of Jijing University.
"Dad, long time no see!"
Because it was really inconvenient for Xu You to leave the school, he arranged for someone to pick Xu Zhou up.
"Well, it's been almost half a year since I last came to Jijing . Lu Zhiyao is here too."
"Hello, uncle."
Seeing Xu Zhou, Lu Zhiyao also greeted him politely.
This was the second time Xu Zhou had met Lu Zhiyao since they had met once before in Shengcheng .
After a few years, Lu Zhiyao has become more mature and no longer has the immature feeling she had when she first entered college.
When Lu Zhiyao really became Xu Zhou's future daughter-in-law, Xu Zhou finally no longer had any regrets.
After the meeting, Xu You and Lu Zhiyao brought Xu Zhou, and the three of them went to Shaoyuan Restaurant together.
After finishing his meal, Xu Zhou did not hang around, but wanted to ask Xu You for advice.
"Are you busy now? Is it convenient for me to go to your laboratory?"
"Of course, come with me."
In their love for academics, Xu You and Xu Zhou are very similar.
For them, this is not just a job, but a lifelong interest.
When he arrived at Xu You's office, Xu Zhou raised some questions about Xu You's paper.
"Why do you use this method for truncation processing?" Xu Zhou asked.
The question raised by Xu Zhou is about the way in which the interactions between atoms of this substance are cut off.
In Xu Zhou's understanding, the natural truncation method that is usually adopted is to reduce the interaction to zero .
However, Xu You took a completely different approach to this issue.
"This is to reduce the time required to calculate the forces on atoms in molecular dynamics simulations. By using this cutoff method to cut off the interactions between atoms at a convenient force range, there is no need to calculate most of the forces required to make the particles move, which can save 99% of the time."
"I see. Why did you choose this method when dealing with the potential function? Why not just translate the function, or cut it off at an appropriate position first, and then add a truncation function..."
Xu Zhou proposed several other possible methods. After Xu You listened, he continued to explain to Xu Zhou patiently.
"The first method is relatively crude and cannot guarantee the continuity of the first and second order derivatives of the potential function. The second and third methods require increasing the number of parameters, making the problem more complicated and requiring more considerations. So the method I chose is to include the truncation function directly in the potential function expression. In this way, the parameters can be fitted simultaneously with the potential function..."
Xu You immediately gave a very detailed answer to every question raised by Xu Zhou.
Xu Zhou listened and couldn't help but nodded repeatedly.
"I can't believe that in just a few years, you have already achieved such a high level of accomplishment in materials science. Even I, a professor who has studied materials science for twenty years, can't compare to you."
Facing his outstanding son, Xu Zhou could only give him the highest praise.
"I have to thank Professor Xu for his teachings. You are my mentor in materials science."
"No, Professor Xu, I just gave you some pointers, and you figured it out on your own."
When the two of them addressed each other as "Professor Xu", the scene began to become a little funny.
After answering Xu Zhou's questions, Xu You also asked Xu Zhou for advice in return.
"Dad, I have a question for you too."
"Oh, I don't deserve that. You're almost better than me in terms of materials. I don't even know what else I can teach you."
"No, no, no. In the field of materials, I am just a latecomer. I definitely have a gap in experience with you."
"You've also learned to flatter. Okay, okay, if you have any questions, tell us and we can discuss them together."
In fact, Xu You still has some problems that have not been solved, and this is exactly what Xu Zhou might help him solve.
"Dad, in what fields do you think this material might have application value?"
Xu Zhou thought for a moment and said, "You've got the point. I didn't think much about it before I came here, but after talking to you, I think this material may have certain application value in several fields."
Xu You was delighted when he heard this.
Sure enough, this question was asked correctly.
"Great, tell me about it!"
Xu Zhou cleared his throat and said, "I think this material may be used in several fields such as medicine, aviation, and nuclear industry."
Xu You was also a little surprised by Xu Zhou's answer.
These are the areas that Xu You is currently researching or may be involved in.
"Can you elaborate on this?" Xu You asked quickly.
"Of course, these are just predictions based on current research results, and they may not actually have these applications."
"Yes, I understand."
"First, in the medical field. According to the properties of this material, it has strong corrosion resistance. As far as I know, this property makes it suitable as a material for some medical devices. We have cooperated with some medical institutions before, so we know this. Strong corrosion resistance means that it will not interact with various liquid substances in the human body."
