Chapter 19 19 [Men and women are not tired of working together]
The party lasted until ten o'clock in the evening, and the guests and hosts had a great time, and it was very complete.
Turning the other day, under Xiang Nan's plea, Penny took Leonard and Howard to Macy's, and swept the goods vigorously.
It turned out that even though Xiang Nan was there to help them as a wingman and match them up, Leonard and Howard were not good at picking up girls, so they failed to hold hands in the end.
Therefore, they decided to accept Xiang Nan's suggestion and change their image.
Howard cut off his melon hair and changed it to a small back. Then he put on a suit and tie, and he is a handsome yuppie again.
Leonard took off his glasses and replaced them with contact lenses. Instead of a pullover, he changed to a leather jacket, which made him look a lot cooler than the bookish one.
"Wow, this is really me, cool!" Leonard looked at himself in the mirror and said with satisfaction.
"I think I'm cooler." Howard straightened his tie and said triumphantly.
Xiang Nan couldn't help nodding with a smile when he saw that they had successfully disguised themselves.
In fact, like Leonard and Howard are very suitable for yuppie style.
They are talented and well educated. The so-called poetic and bookish spirit is self-sufficient. In terms of temperament, they are actually very good.
It's just because they are nerds, they have always been bullied and humiliated since they were young, so they generally lack self-confidence, shrink back, and submissive. Even if they are very talented, they can only show one point.
Now, under the guidance of Xiang Nan and the encouragement of Pan Ni, the two successfully changed their costumes, and immediately felt like changing their appearance and being a new person.
"If you had dressed like this yesterday, you wouldn't have returned empty-handed." Penny said regretfully for them.
Hearing what she said, Leonard and Howard couldn't help but look dark.
"Don't worry, Penny still has many friends, I'll introduce them slowly later." Seeing this, Xiang Nan quickly comforted her.
Penny nodded.
"If it were you in the past, I really wouldn't dare to introduce you again." She smiled, "But now, I'd rather match up."
"Yeah!" Hearing what she said, Leonard and Howard became happy again.
…
On Monday, Xiang Nan went back to school for work.
"How about it, have you talked to Leslie, is she willing to join us?" After the meeting, Howard asked.
"It's already been discussed." Xiang Nan nodded, "She wasn't very interested at first, but I think she will eventually choose to join."
Leslie is a very strong woman. She regards Sheldon as her lifelong enemy, and she wants to prove to him that she is not a stupid woman who only knows how to wash clothes and nurse children.
And if she wants to prove this point, she must come up with superior scientific research results.
But the symbolic lepton supersymmetry she is studying now is far inferior to Sheldon's string theory. It's impossible to shut Sheldon up with it.
Quantum navigation system is different. This is the most cutting-edge technology and the most practical invention. Once successfully developed, it will surely bring fame and fortune.
It is much stronger than Sheldon's string theory, which has not been verified for a long time, but is just a fantasy.
Therefore, Xiang Nan was sure that Leslie would give it a try.
Sure enough, at ten o'clock, there was a knock on the office door.
Xiang Nan went to open the door and saw that Leslie was standing outside the door.
"Welcome, I knew you'd be here." He said with a smile.
"Don't say that, I have to see your research progress first, and then decide whether to join or not." Leslie waved his hand.
"Okay, but before reading it, please sign this agreement." Xiang Nan handed over a confidentiality agreement.
The agreement requires that the signatory shall not disclose any information related to the project to anyone, let alone write papers or conduct research on the research results of the project.
After confirming that her signature was accurate, Xiang Nan and Howard took out their research results.
Leslie's eyes lit up when he saw it.
"Superfluid surface tension?! Interesting!" she said in surprise.
In the past, when people studied superfluid, they only considered its density and viscosity, and never considered its surface tension.
This has led to the inability of the superfluid physics model to be perfect, and the quantum navigation system developed based on it has naturally been unable to be successfully researched.
The research of Xiang Nan and Howard is indeed very creative and breakthrough. Once successful, it may be possible to successfully develop a quantum navigation system and a quantum communication system based on this.
"How about it, would you like to join?" Xiang Nan then asked.
Leslie pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily, "Okay, I'll join."
"Great, welcome." Xiang Nan stretched out his hand and smiled.
"Yes, I welcome you too." Howard also leaned over and also stretched out his hand.
Leslie only shook hands with Xiang Nan, she knew Howard's wretchedness very well. "Thank you. Now, what should I do next."
"First of all, please sign this contract. Let's be a villain first and then a gentleman, so as to avoid conflicts in the future." Xiang Nan took out another contract and said.
After reading it carefully, Leslie questioned part of the contract.
Such as her powers, interests, position in the team, etc.
Xiang Nan gave answers one by one.
After thinking for a moment, Leslie signed his name on the contract.
"Welcome, from now on, you are an official member of the project team." Xiang Nan laughed.
"Thank you. Now tell me what I should do." Leslie asked.
"Well, Howard and I have almost done the research, but there are a few key equations that cannot be solved. I hope you can help us." Xiang Nankai said honestly.
"OK." Leslie nodded.
Xiang Nan listed the equations, and then the three of them started the calculation.
…
With the joining of Leslie, many problems were solved and the progress of the project was greatly accelerated.
"It will take at most two more days for our research to be successful." Seeing this, Xiang Nan said excitedly.
"Yeah, that's really great." Howard said excitedly, fame and fortune are right in front of him, so how could he not be excited.
"Don't get too excited, building a theoretical model is just the first step. Next, we need to do experiments and consider its practical application. There is still a long way to go." Leslie said coldly.
After she said this, the atmosphere suddenly became cold.
"You are right." Xiang Nan nodded.
Just then, there was a ding-dong sound from his e-mail.
Xiang Nan opened it and laughed immediately.
"What's the matter, what good news can make you so happy?" Seeing this, Howard asked curiously.
"My paper "Edgworth-Kyber Debris Disk" has been accepted by The Astrophysical Journal." Xiang Nan said happily.
"Really?! Wow!" Howard couldn't help being happy for him when he heard it.
"Astrophysical Journal" is the highest-level professional journal in the field of astronomy in the United States. It is really quite an honor that Xiang Nan's paper can be accepted by it.
Seeing that Xiang Nan has achieved such a good performance, Leslie couldn't help but stare.
