Chapter 385: Inspiration from a Piece of Pizza
"We must do what we promised. Yaoyao, next time you encounter this kind of situation, just call me directly."
"Um!"
Xu You wearing a cat apron does not look feminine, but instead has an indescribable cuteness.
Xu You put on disposable gloves and enjoyed the wonderful cooking time with Lu Zhiyao.
What Lu Zhiyao was making was a rice-style bacon pizza with a diameter of twelve inches.
I have to say that Lu Zhiyao’s cooking talent is indeed very good.
After the whole dough is made, it does look much better than those packaged semi-finished pizzas in supermarkets.
It would take about ten minutes for the pizza to be baked. Xu You suddenly remembered an "interesting" story that Lou Song had told him, so he said to Lu Zhiyao:
"A couple went to a western restaurant and ordered a 12-inch pizza. The waiter said they didn't have a 12-inch pizza and asked if they could get two 6-inch pizzas instead. But the couple refused decisively. Do you know why?"
After listening to Xu You's story, Lu Zhiyao curled her lips and said:
"Professor Xu, you are being too contemptuous. Although I am not studying mathematics now, I am not so ignorant that I don't even know the area formula of a circle. If I change to a six-inch pizza, I have to change to four to avoid being at a disadvantage. Wait a minute... Could this joke come from Lou Song?"
"Haha, you guessed it. When he told me this story, we laughed for a long time."
Xu You deliberately picked out the funniest joke that Lou Song had ever told, but he didn't expect it to have the desired effect.
“You people who study science have really weird sense of humour,” Lu Zhiyao complained.
At this time, Lu Zhiyao seemed to remember something and asked:
"Hey, let me ask you a question."
"you say."
"Which do you think is more complex, a cell or a computer?"
Hearing this question, Xu You subconsciously felt that computers were more complex.
Computers can calculate faster than humans, let alone cells.
But then, Xu You hesitated again.
Nowadays, humans can not only create ordinary computers, but also create complex devices such as quantum computers.
However, it is impossible to completely imitate a cell structure.
This is like having given a design drawing but not being able to make the actual product according to the design drawing.
Thinking of this, Xu You replied:
"This question is really hard to answer. It depends on how you define it. From different perspectives, the complexity of the two is also different. But Yaoyao, how did you come up with this question?"
"Because the field I'm currently researching belongs to natural philosophy, which is closely related to natural science. So I often think about these somewhat inexplicable questions."
"I think these are all very good questions, and they are even of great guiding significance to my research work. I will answer your question ."
"Biology...are you going to study it too?" Lu Zhiyao asked in surprise.
"Although I wasn't good at biology in high school, I actually studied biology-related knowledge in college. Our Heqing Academy covers a wide range of subjects, and we learn all the science knowledge."
Although Xu You's level in biology is not as good as that in physics, mathematics, informatics, and chemistry, it is not bad either.
As long as Xu You concentrates on studying biology, he can definitely make a name for himself in this field.
As the oven "dinged".
This pizza is already baked.
Lu Zhiyao was about to put on heat-insulating gloves and take out the pizza.
But it was snatched away by Xu You.
"It's quite heavy. Let me do it."
Lu Zhiyao didn't say anything, but she felt warm in her heart.
This pizza was baked very successfully. Not only does it look great, but it also smells delicious.
"Let's get started!"
Just as Xu You was reaching out to pick up a piece of pizza to taste.
But his hand suddenly hung in the air.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Seeing Xu You's strange look, Lu Zhiyao was worried whether Xu You would suddenly develop some strange symptoms like last time.
What Lu Zhiyao didn't know was.
As Xu You stared at the pizza.
But suddenly I thought of the mesh structure of the photonic quantum chip.
"A regular hexagon... an equilateral triangle..."
Because this pizza was divided into six equal parts.
The central angle of each pizza is exactly sixty degrees.
By extending this special structure, it is possible to design a new mesh structure for photonic quantum chips.
Such a structure can solve some problems that were difficult to solve before.
With his brain working at high speed, Xu You suddenly entered a flow state.
Xu You was thinking quickly about how to refine the design of each point based on this basic structure.
Lu Zhiyao didn't know what Xu You was thinking. She was worried that something was wrong with Xu You's health, so she kept calling Xu You loudly.
Hearing Lu Zhiyao calling him, Xu You finally jumped out of his flow state.
“Sorry, Yaoyao. When I saw this pizza, I suddenly had some design inspiration.”
Seeing that Xu You was fine, Lu Zhiyao finally felt relieved.
"I was so scared. I thought you were going to faint suddenly like last time."
Xu You wanted to take this opportunity to quickly perfect the mesh structure design of the photonic quantum chip.
However, Lu Zhiyao hadn’t eaten a single bite of the pizza she had worked so hard to bake.
Lu Zhiyao saw what Xu You was thinking and said calmly:
"I know you want to go to work right now, but you can't go on an empty stomach. Finish your meal first, and I won't disturb you."
Xu You also knew that doing scientific research on an empty stomach was not a wise choice.
Previously, when he was at the Suzhou Satellite Launch Center, Xu You once worked intensively for ten hours without eating lunch, and in the end he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
"That's right. No matter how important the work is, we can't neglect sleep and food. Come, let's eat first."
"Well, that's right!"
Seeing Xu You eating his meal obediently, Lu Zhiyao finally felt relieved.
However, the sudden inspiration just now really made Xu You focus on work.
Xu You ate obviously faster than usual and finished his portion in just a few minutes.
"Um, Yaoyao..."
"Okay, go to work now. You don't have to accompany me. I will clean up the dining table and the kitchen."
Lu Zhiyao just felt sorry that the fruit wine she had prepared was not used.
"Yaoyao, thank you for your hard work this time. I will definitely compensate you after this busy period!"
Watching Xu You return to the room, Lu Zhiyao could only shake her head and smile helplessly.
