1991 Starting from the core

The so-called gift of a rose leaves a lingering fragrance in the hand.

Su Yuanshan is not the kind of stubborn, rigid and dogmatic person. What's more, Su Yuanshan also admires Lu Xuechao for his ability to stick to his position in the electrical engineering department, which has an extremely backward physical foundation... and still has "pursuit".

The most important thing is that Lao Lu is not a bad person.

"Ahem... After all, Xiao Zhou is my student. How can I say it's troublesome..." Professor Lu Xuechao was a little embarrassed again, but he soon burst into laughter: "By the way, I have good news for you."

"Oh? Uncle Lu, tell me."

"Your graduation thesis..."

"Ah?" Before Lu Xuechao finished speaking, Su Yuanshan was startled. He slapped his forehead suddenly: "Oh no! I still have this thing, I really forgot about it!"

"Hahahaha!" Lu Xuechao was also stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

Su Yuanshan is still a senior in college - I'm afraid he himself has forgotten it.

In addition to his freshman and sophomore years, Su Yuanshan would go back to school to take the final exam. In his junior year, the Department of Electrical Engineering here also adopted a credit system. After calculating the credits, the Department of Electrical Engineering gave Su Yuanshan a backdoor and told him His credits were full and he no longer had to take the exam - Su Yuanshan never went to school again after that.

Of course, by that time, Su Yuanshan had already published a paper on graphene in the top journal Nature, and triggered a world-class research trend.

Based on this alone, Su Yuanshan can be regarded as an "expert" in a certain field.

Not to mention Su Yuanshan's other achievements.

If he were asked to take the final exam like an ordinary student... it would be too formal.

"Don't worry, I'm not asking you for a graduation thesis. Your piece of nature is enough to become the best undergraduate thesis in the history of electrical engineering - if this paper can be reused, it will be enough for you to graduate with a Ph.D."

Hearing what Lu Xuechao said, Su Yuanshan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Uncle Lu, don't scare me. If you really want me to write a graduation thesis, then I will have to rely on my senior brothers to help me cheat."

On the other side of the phone, Lu Xuechao smiled and said, "You... don't joke about academic matters."

Su Yuanshan was slightly startled, then a smile appeared on his lips again: "Yes, you shouldn't be joking. Uncle Lu, I accept criticism."

"Haha, just a reminder. After all... you know, you are very special to our physics department."

Su Yuanshan was slightly surprised. There was something in what Old Lu said...

He admitted that Lao Lu was right, and as Lao Lu was a professor of electrical engineering and he was a student of the electrical sciences, no matter how much Lao Lu praised him, it would not be out of place.

But not being disqualified does not mean that you can show it so "nakedly".

"Uncle Lu... I am not humble in front of you. Just say it..."

"Well, it's like this. Regarding your studies... I will definitely let you graduate directly. But how you want to go in the future... still depends on your own considerations." Lu Xuechao paused as he spoke, seeming to leave Su Yuanshan enough time. Time to think.

"I talked to your dad, and although he said it depends on your wishes, he feels that you still hope to develop academically, right?"

Su Yuanshan nodded without thinking about it and said: "Yes, Uncle Lu. I will definitely continue to study all the way, from a master's degree to a doctorate..."

"Then who are you considering studying for your master's degree under?" Professor Lu Xuechao asked, and then added meaningfully: "Who can guide you?"

"Uh..." Su Yuanshan was in trouble.

With the accumulation and understanding in his previous life, and the years of hard study in this life, Su Yuanshan's current level has far exceeded that of a master's degree student - in terms of results, he is already better than a doctoral student. .

The simplest thing is that now he can "point out" the thesis of He Chunhua, a doctoral student who is about to graduate.

Since he wants to further his studies, the direction must be applied physics, condensed matter physics, or even specialize in graphene - he is the discoverer of graphene and a participant and even instructor in the current important experiments.

Who can guide him?

Not to mention, the domestic academic community has long ignored Su Yuanshan's identity and recognized his academic abilities - otherwise, major universities would not have rushed to invite him to participate in various academic conferences.

"So... what does the school mean?" Su Yuanshan asked tentatively.

"What the school means is that if you still want to pursue an academic path, the school will directly grant you the title of associate professor without exception and stop engaging in formalism."

Su Yuanshan said "fuck" in his heart.

He immediately realized why it was Lu Xuechao who made this call to him, and not his father or Professor Li Gaoliang - they were both deans at present, and they were too close to him, which was not good.

From an undergraduate to an associate professor directly, this kind of treatment... seems a bit unprecedented - in history, there will be others later.

At the very least, Su Yuanshan knew that there was once a junior student who was hired as a professor-level researcher because he proved Sitapan's conjecture.

Hmm... From the perspective of academic significance and value, hiring yourself as an associate professor seems to be... okay?

Su Yuanshan calmed down and knew that Guang Lao Lu alone could not make the decision in this matter. His father, Professor Li Gaoliang, and even President Zhou... these are all elders who are proud of themselves. Perhaps this is their collective will.

After thinking of this, Su Yuanshan exhaled softly and became calm: "Well, I still hope to make further progress in academics."

"Haha! You kid...your father is indeed right - now I can call you Professor Xiao Su."

"Hehe... Uncle Lu, let's not talk about this for now. I know there is no free lunch in the world, and Principal Zhou is not a kind person - what are the school's requirements? Let's make an agreement first. If I don't have time for class, it's okay to take care of the graduate students."

"You're right! It's like doing business with you - we don't have high requirements for you. We hope you can publish more top journals and improve the status of our physics major in the Department of Electrical Engineering. Is this the head office?"

"...Uncle Lu, nature and science are not prescribed by me, so how can I just publish them?"

"That doesn't matter, since you agreed. Just take some time to come back and have a good discussion about how we should proceed with physics in the Electrical Engineering Department in the future."

…

After hanging up the phone, Su Yuanshan clenched his fists and took a long breath.

He thought that Lao Lu came here to ask for a signature on the paper, but he didn't expect that asking for a signature on the paper was just a pretext... The real intention was to give himself a surprise.

After sitting down again, Su Yuanshan pulled out a series of experimental data on the physical vapor deposition of graphene, thought about it, and opened a new document.

Now that I am going to be an associate professor, I should do something serious.
