"I didn't mean it, isn't Nina not allowed to say this?"

Evan looked innocent, "Okay, let's calm down. Don't you know now, so I'll leave the job to you."

Virginia was angry, but she couldn't help it. Obviously, in Nina's opinion, Evan was more reliable than her.

It was obvious that I was my sister.

"No, you can pick up someone, but you have to promise me one thing."

Evan said: "What's the matter, you said?"

Virginia's eyes rolled and she thought of a request: "You are not allowed to tell me about him in advance."

Evan thought for a while and agreed, "Yes, but what you exposed yourself is not counting."

After explaining his personal affairs and the business affairs of the company and the laboratory, Evan set off for Boston.

Boston is the capital of Massachusetts and a large population center on the east coast of the United States. The metropolitan area formed by Boston, Cambridge and Quincy is one of the top ten metropolitan areas in the United States.

Boston is known as the "steering wheel of science and technology", because many well-known American universities, including Harvard University and MIT, are located on the periphery of Boston.

It is precisely because there are many universities here that the annual meeting of the American Physics Society is often held in Boston.

On March 5, Evan and his group arrived in Boston and checked into the hotel provided by the conference organizer.

Not only Evan and others came to California Institute of Technology, but several other professors who studied other fields also came, such as Professor David Anderson, who studies nuclear physics.

The venue for the annual meeting is a professional conference center located in downtown Boston, so even though Harvard University and MIT are close to each other, their people stay in hotels during the meeting.

On March 6, the four-day annual meeting officially began.

Although it is an annual meeting, unlike the company's annual meeting, it mainly focuses on eating, drinking, having, and having fun and relaxing. The annual meeting of the Physics Society is naturally focused on academic meetings. Therefore, at the beginning of the annual meeting, academic meetings and reports on various topics began. Researchers of papers submitted in advance will come to the stage to speak in order of the theme and arranged order.

Evan was also one of the researchers invited to give a report and was arranged on the third day.

The meeting started at 8 a.m. and lasted until 5:30 p.m., with special speeches from big scholars in the academic world.

Although this was Evan's first time attending the annual meeting, he did not show corresponding excitement or enthusiasm, because for him, he had attended similar meetings countless times.

He was not very interested in such meetings, but was more interested in who was attending the meetings.

"Is Dr. Einstein here?"

"No!"

"That's a shame."

"Where is Dr. Compton?"

"No!"

"well……"

"Where is Dr. Percy Bridgeman?"

During breakfast, Leiden, who was impatiently asked, stopped answering, looked at Evan and said, "Why are you just asking them?"

Evan replied naturally: "They won the Nobel Prize."

Leiden said: "You know, there are not many people who win the Nobel Prize and are still young. Unless they are close, who will come out to have a meeting from afar?"

Evan nodded: "That's right."

Evan could understand, but was disappointed.

If you are not here, you can't take a group photo.

Evan, who failed to "chase stars", could only restrain himself and chose a meeting that he was still interested in and took a long time to take a meeting.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, there was one of the highlights of the annual meeting, the awards dinner. Evan did not intend to attend because he did not win the award. However, after thinking about it, it would be better to meet more people, and Evan finally appeared at the venue.

The venue is a typical Western buffet dinner. Evan first had a full meal before starting to implement his own plan to increase the list of acquaintances.

Of course, because there were few people who knew Evan needed an introducer, he shamelessly approached Professor David Anderson.

There was no way. Professor Watson from his lab didn't come, and Leiden himself couldn't do it. He could only find someone else.

Although Professor Anderson wanted to accept Evan as a student, he refused, but Evan had a bad relationship with him, and Anderson was still willing to help with this.

"This is Professor Edward Purcell of Harvard University..."

"Hello!" Professor David Anderson was a Nobel Prize winner at least, and he knew many people, and he gave Evan a surprise as soon as he came up.

"His name is Evan Warren, and his field of research is solid physics..."

"Research on Daming for a long time."

"He is studying MRI, and if you are interested, you can listen to his report tomorrow."

"Interested or interested..."

Here, Evan changed his previous appearance of being mediocre and could chat with everyone. Not long after, he got a bunch of people's business cards. Of course, he also sent out a stack of his business cards.

Evan didn't have a smooth night, and he had a little fun with someone in the middle.

The other party comes from the famous Bell Labs.

His name is Shockley, and he is as rumored as he is irritable.

Due to the overlapping research fields, although both parties have never met before, they are familiar with each other.

Shockley was very dissatisfied with Evan's research results on transistors at a young age, so after the two sides met unexpectedly at the venue, he couldn't help but question Evan. Evan naturally retorted.

Although he knew that he had indeed robbed other people's achievements, he would never give in on such occasions.

If he quit, he wouldn't have to stay in the academic world.

However, the conflict between the two sides is limited to verbal words. After all, Shockley is much bigger than Evan, and no matter how bad the temper is, he will not break out on such occasions.

That would only lose his own face.

The next day, the meeting continued. As agreed, Evan went to listen to the academic reports of many friends he met at the dinner last year, and asked many in-depth questions, which caused discussions from the venue one after another.

Among them is the report of Professor Edward Purcell, who studies nuclear magnetic resonance.

"NMR may be applied to medicine, it's a genius idea."

On the third day, Evan walked onto the podium. The content of the report was extended based on the paper on the principle of PN junction published last year. However, the content and experimental data were more detailed. In addition, some prospects for the future application of transistors were added. This is not that Evan was lazy, but after discussing with Professor Watson and others, they all believed that this article was the most suitable.

The audience responded well to Evan's report, especially the final part about looking forward to the future, which attracted many people to ask questions (query) questions (questions). However, Evan was not stumped and gave beautiful answers one by one.
