Start as a top student and move towards the stars and the sea

Ning Chen didn't want to be so famous that a bunch of people would recognize him wherever he went. In that case, even normal life would become too troublesome.

Fortunately, Ning Chen hasn't appeared often since he won the autumn championship, and he usually keeps a low profile. Very few passers-by can recognize Ning Chen's identity.

The environment of this house is quite good, and it is only a two-bedroom apartment. The room is not particularly large, just suitable for Song Xiyun to live alone.

After Ning Chen and Song Xiyun looked at the interior of the room, they discussed it quietly and both felt that the house was acceptable.

"Mr. Landlord, if we want to rent this house, how will the rent be calculated?" Ning Chen asked.

"The rent is 3,000 a month, and the rent starts at least half a year, and then I need to give me another month's deposit." The landlord said.

Ning Chen felt that this condition was acceptable. Considering the housing prices in this community and the size and environment of the house, the rent of three thousand yuan a month was not expensive.

As for renting a house for half a year and depositing one month's rent, Ning Chen also thinks this is a more reasonable request, because renting a house is a highly variable matter, and the landlord must try his best to protect his own interests.

While Ning Chen was thinking about these issues, Song Xiyun couldn't help but blurt out:

"3,000 a month?"

Song Xiyun said this with a questioning tone. The landlord thought that Song Xiyun thought the rent of this house was too expensive.

In fact, Song Xiyun felt that the rent for this house would reach four to five thousand yuan. After all, Song Xiyun had just arrived in Shengzhou and was not very accustomed to the rooms in Shengzhou.

"The minimum is 2,800 a month. If it's any lower, I really can't rent it."

The landlord didn't know what Song Xiyun was thinking. He just thought that Song Xiyun thought the price was a bit high, so he took the initiative to lower the price.

Before bidding, the landlord also set a minimum psychological expectation and did not negotiate the lowest price from the beginning.

"Then let me rent it for one year first. Can we sign the contract now?"

Song Xiyun didn't want to miss such a good opportunity. Anyway, the school's house would not be available in a short time. Song Xiyun would definitely have to rent a house for a period of time first.

The landlord was a little caught off guard by Song Xiyun's reaction, but he would definitely not miss such an easy-to-talk tenant.

Immediately, the two parties began contract negotiations.

"The rent can be paid half a year, plus one month's rent as a deposit. The first time you need to pay me is 19,600 yuan. I don't have any special requirements here. It's best not to bring pets in."

After all, Song Xiyun is a girl and looks very clean, so the landlord is not too worried about this aspect.

"Don't worry, I don't keep pets. I will maintain a good environment in the house during the rental period."

This rental experience was very smooth. Song Xiyun signed the contract with the landlord on the same day and got the key to the house.

"Song Xiyun, let's change the lock cylinder of the house first. We can't directly use the lock cylinder of the previous house."

Although a normal landlord is unlikely to return to his house casually after renting out the house, Ning Chen still feels that it is necessary to be on guard against others. At least changing the lock cylinder can make him feel more at ease.

"Well, then let's find a lock changer."

Ning Chen found a more reliable lock replacement company that had been registered with the public security bureau and helped Song Xiyun replace the lock cylinder with a better quality one. Only then did she feel relieved to let Song Xiyun move in.

Song Xiyun's moving process is still very simple. She only needs to move her things to the opposite side.

"Hehe, this is the advantage of finding a house across from your house. It saves you the trouble of hiring a moving company." Song Xiyun said sweetly.

"Anyway, you don't have much right now. It's enough to use my car to transport it once at most. Song Xiyun, do we need to go to the supermarket to buy some more things?"

"It shouldn't be necessary. I don't need many things for the time being. The facilities in this house are relatively complete. When I need them in the future, I can buy them again."

After helping Song Xiyun tidy up the house, Ning Chen was about to go back to his house when Song Xiyun suddenly called Ning Chen.

"Ning Chen, this is for you."

Ning Chen turned around and saw that Song Xiyun handed a key to him.

"Ning Chen, I'm afraid I might leave my key at home sometimes, so I'll just leave a spare key with you."

After hearing Song Xiyun's words, Ning Chen subconsciously resisted.

"Song Xiyun, isn't this bad? Although I will definitely not go to your place casually, can you really trust me to leave the key here?"

"What's there to worry about? I've been living with you for so many days, and you haven't done anything to me?"

Ning Chen thought about it and thought so. If Song Xiyun didn't trust her, she would rather spend money to stay in a hotel than stay in her place.

Looking at the entire Shengzhou City, Ning Chen is also the person Song Xiyun trusts the most.

After hesitating for a while, Ning Chen said:

"Well, just put a spare key here with me. I promise I will never use it without your permission."

"I'm definitely not worried. Anyway, I will lock the house when I'm at home."

…

After helping Song Xiyun solve the problem of renting a house, Ning Chen continued his research project on superconductors.

With the joint efforts of Ning Chen and Yuan Shuai, the research on the subject went smoothly. Many experimental phenomena confirmed some of Ning Chen's previous predictions, and various theories about superconductivity were gradually improved.

Although the ideal superconductor has not yet been synthesized, Ning Chen is getting closer to this goal.

During this period, several experimental papers on the reproduction of room-temperature superconductors by the South Korean research team were also published on arXiv.

Ning Chen didn't learn the news right away. It wasn't until Xu Zhou told him about it that Ning Chen found out about it.

"How many laboratories in different countries have successfully reproduced experiments on room-temperature superconductors?"

Ning Chen was also a little surprised when he heard Xu Zhou's words.

Because if only one laboratory released this news, it could be explained by chance.

However, several laboratories have expressed similar opinions, and Ning Chen would inevitably doubt his experiments at that time.

Out of confidence in himself, Ning Chen did not immediately deny his previous experimental conclusions, but first read these repeated papers.

After Ning Chen read these papers, his mood gradually calmed down.

Although these papers seemed to be very rigorously written and logically self-consistent, and each paper had some differences, some of the problems were still not hidden from Ning Chen's eyes.

After all, Ning Chen had conducted the entire experiment completely and knew every detail of the experiment.

Seeing that Ning Chen did not express his opinion, Sui Feng thought that there was something wrong with their experiment, and said with some suspicion:

"Teacher Ning, did we make a mistake somewhere this time? Several of their laboratories have successfully reproduced this result. It can't be that they are all wrong, right?"

After hearing Sui Feng's words, Ning Chen looked at Sui Feng and said with a smile:

"No, this matter is still worthy of our consideration. Let's take a look at these parts of these papers first."

With that said, Ning Chen pointed out the place where he found the problem to Xu Zhou and others.

After listening to Ning Chen's explanation, Xu Zhou and others also felt that there were indeed many doubts in it.

"This does seem a bit strange, as if they had already agreed to publish these papers. Although they separated the time when the papers were published, many contents in the papers did not seem to come from the same laboratory. .”

While talking, Xu Zhou inquired about the detailed information of these laboratories.

When Xu Zhou searched for specific information about these laboratories, his expression changed accordingly.

"Sure enough, Teacher Ning's suspicion is correct. The reputation of these laboratories is not good, and they are also habitual offenders in these aspects."

Everyone looked at some of the previous scandals in these laboratories and couldn't help but be speechless.

"I see. I guess they are all working with the laboratory in South Korea. The reason why they published these several successful reproduction papers is just to deny our reproduction results. These guys are really hateful... …”

So far, among the experimental groups that have carried out the reproduction of room temperature superconductivity, only Ning Chen has produced negative results.

From this point of view, the experimental results of Ning Chen's experimental group are obviously at a disadvantage in terms of public opinion.

Ning Chen didn't want to get involved in these academic disputes, but since they had to take the initiative to provoke them, Ning Chen would never show mercy.

"In this case, we have to continue to accompany them." Ning Chen said.

If Ning Chen does not continue to respond to this matter, those who do not know the truth may think that Ning Chen is the party with the problem, which will also have a certain impact on Ning Chen's reputation.

"Teacher Ning, how should we handle this matter next?" Xu Zhou asked.

"It's very simple, just publish the more specific conditions during this experiment. Anyway, these experimental conditions were explored by ourselves, and we have the right to publish them publicly."

Hearing Ning Chen's words, Xu Zhou couldn't help but take a breath.

I have to admit that although Ning Chen is usually very easy-going, he is still very cruel when things happen.

As long as Ning Chen makes these experimental conditions public, other experimental groups can more easily reproduce the entire experiment.

By then, everyone will know which party announced the real experimental results.

"Teacher Ning, let's prepare to publish the paper." Xu Zhou said.
