Chapter 84 Thesis
The time of gathering is always so short, and the balance of the holiday is always insufficient.
Not to mention how Nina was reluctant to leave when Evan and Virginia set off to return to Los Angeles on the last day of the holiday. Evan found that Nina didn't nag like this when Colin was in college. Now she and Virginia go home almost every month. Every time she leaves home, Nina is still so sad. On the contrary, the elder brother Colin and Nina seem to have forgotten, and she doesn't even mention it.
In the car, Evan couldn't help but complain to Virginia, who had the best relationship with Colin, and said, "If this continues, will Nina drive him out directly when Colin comes back!"
Evan suggested: "Virginia, when you reply to Colin, it is best to recommend that he write harder, and don't remember to write a letter after half a year or ten months."
Virginia thought about it and nodded, feeling deeply.
Audrey next to him saw the brother and brother silly smirking when he saw him slut out his elder brother like this.
Evan had asked Audrey before if she felt stressed when facing his family.
At that time, Audrey's answer was "a little bit", but after a long time of contact, Audrey found that she was more envious than saying that she felt the pressure.
Audrey used to have a big family with many siblings, but she had never seen a family that was as harmonious and interesting as the Warren family.
Entering such a family will definitely be as happy as a dream.
When Audrey thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a little fever on her face.
At the same time, Audrey looked at Evan with a little resentment and a little doubt.
He clearly lives next door to the same house, why doesn’t he turn into a wolf at night and attack at night like what is written in the book?
Is it because...
Audrey looked down at her breasts.
It's mediocre, not much change from before.
well……
Audrey sighed.
Hopefully, what Virginia said about "drinking more milk" will work.
Back at Caltech, Evan re-entered the learning mode of active brains.
The final exam came soon.
The final exams of California Polytechnic were conducted in total for three days. Of course, these are ordinary classroom exams. Some classes were assigned to students two weeks ago because they were given papers within a deadline. After the exam, the school began to have winter vacations. But most students did not rush to leave the campus, because each holiday was another class - internship, and the beginning time.
Before the holidays begin, most students are looking for and applying for internships. Although Caltech can provide many places, there are always more interested students than pitfalls. Popular places like JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) are even more rare.
However, for some students, wherever they want to go is just a matter of one sentence.
That's what Evan said. Before the exam was finished, JPL and several other laboratories sent him OFFER.
Unfortunately, Evan has his own plan, and he has not visited these places that ordinary students dream of.
As soon as the last general education course was finished, Evan was called to the office by Professor Linus Pauling of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.
Professor Pauling is a great man in the scientific community and one of the founders of quantum chemistry and molecular biology. The concepts of orbital hybridization and elemental electronegativity in chemical bond theory in inorganic chemistry came from Professor Pauling. In the future, he will also be one of the many Nobel-level professors of California Polytechnic.
Of course, his identity at this time was the teacher of Evan's class "Inorganic Chemistry".
As the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Professor Pauling's office is located in the Gates Green Chemistry Building.
According to the agreed time, Evan came outside the office. He knocked on the door. After a long time of no response, Evan gently pushed open the door, leaned his head in, and shouted: "Professor?"
"Professor Pauling?"
When he called out the second time, Pauling, who was sitting behind the desk, raised his head. Seeing Evan with only his head exposed, he smiled and said, "Evan, come on, come in quickly."
Pauling's smile made his headline more obvious.
Evan was not polite, and he jumped into the house and closed the door casually. He sat opposite Pauling.
"Professor, are you asking me for something?"
“Are you reviewing your final paper?”
Paulin has a small face, heavy bags in his eyes, and a bald head that is well-educated by middle-aged people. He smiles very much like Master Yoda in "Star Wars".
Facing Pauling, Evan couldn't help but want to laugh.
Pauling lowered his head and searched for something in the thick stack of papers, while replying: "You've called it."
"And, I came to you for your paper...well...I found it, and the point you made is very interesting."
Pauling found Evan's paper, dipped his fingers in saliva, turned to one of the pages, and said: "You think there is electron transfer in the redox reaction, and the rate of electron transfer and the electron barrier during the reaction are related to the nuclear barrier...well..."
Speaking of this, Pauling scratched his head, looked at Evan, and said, "Well, can you tell me in detail what you thought?"
Evan said: "Professor, the general content is in your paper. What else do I need to say?"
Paulin said with a smile: "I think it's still unsatisfactory, and you omit a lot of mathematical deductions..."
Evan and the professor looked at each other for a moment, then lost helplessly, "Okay, then I'll start from scratch,..."
The discussion between teachers and students starts from 3pm to 7pm.
When Evan walked out of the professor's office, he felt dry mouth and dizzy.
The exchange about the article was actually over half an hour ago. In the following time, Professor Pauling kept persuading Evan to the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. The professor promised many conditions, but Evan just didn't get into oil and salt.
There was no way, Pauling had to drive Evan out in the end.
Before leaving the door, Pauling instructed: "I will give you three days to perfect this article and give it to me so that I can help you submit the manuscript to "CHEMICAL PHYSICS."
Evan had to listen to the instructions from the professor.
Generally, students can not only be taught separately when they can be taught in the first grade, but also have articles to post.
Evan's treatment made Professor Pauling's students very jealous.
After completing Professor Pauling's explanation and handing over the paper entitled "Theory of Electron Transfer in Redox Reduction Reaction", Evan was about to go to APS, Dean Dubridge found him again.
"Evan, I heard that you really brought your girlfriend to school, why didn't I see it? It's such a pity!" Dubridge joked when he saw Evan.
"Dean, you came to me for this reason, right?" Evan rolled his eyes without hesitation, "If so, then I'll go back!"
Dubridge smiled and said, "Of course not!"
"I heard that your grades in this semester are good. How about you? Have you thought about the direction of your future research? Is it the physics you are studying now, or will you change your direction and study chemistry?"
Evan did not answer, but asked back: "Dean, are you here to be a lobbyist?"
"No!" Dubridge shook his head and said, "In my opinion, you can do whatever major you can. I just want to know, are you interested in studying for a PhD?"
