Chapter 1240 Yun Rui Juan Chen: Officially Joining the Research Group

At two o'clock in the morning in the rental house, Lin Xu was riding on an office chair with wheels, spinning in circles in the small room with his arms outstretched.

The blue light of the computer screen reflected his flushed face, and the screen of his mobile phone was still on Gu Yunxi's chat interface. The words "Will you officially join my research group?" kept echoing in his mind like a magic spell.

He suddenly kicked the desk, and the chair hit the wall with a loud bang, startling his roommate so much that he looked up from the game world and asked, "What the hell!"

"I was chosen by Professor Gu!" Lin Xu jumped up from his chair, grabbed the experiment manual on the table and waved it in the air, like a child who won the lottery.

He rushed to the desk piled with documents and quickly took out a yellowed notebook - it was filled with dense records of all his ideas about quantum catalysis.

The moonlight poured in through the tattered curtains, illuminating his sparkling eyes. He murmured to himself, "I've finally waited for this day."

After the ecstasy, Lin Xu quickly regained his composure.

He opened the professional database and sorted out Gu Yunxi's past research papers all night, marking the unresolved issues one by one;

I also carefully studied the research topics of the existing research groups and listed my own opinions on sticky notes.

When the morning light climbed onto the windowsill, he had already practiced introducing himself in front of the mirror ten times, even adjusting his gestures and the arc of his smile over and over again.

On the day of class, the late autumn sunshine gilded the Chemistry Building. Lin Xu was waiting downstairs in the laboratory early, holding a canvas bag filled with materials in his arms, and tapping his toes unconsciously on the ground.

When Gu Yunxi appeared on the fallen leaves, he immediately straightened his back and a bright smile appeared on his face: "Morning, Teacher Gu!"

Gu Yunxi looked him up and down, the hem of his beige windbreaker swaying gently with his steps.

Her eyes swept over Lin Xu's ironed white shirt, and finally landed on his slightly trembling fingertips. She said lightly: "Come in."

The two walked side by side towards the laboratory. Lin Xu tried hard to control his rapid heartbeat. He caught a glimpse of Gu Yunxi's hair fluttering in the wind. The faint jasmine scent on her body mixed with the unique smell of laboratory reagents made him inexplicably nervous.

In the laboratory, more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked towards the door. Gu Yunxi clapped his hands and said in a cold voice, "This is the new member Lin Xu. Please take care of him."

Lin Xu took a step forward and said in a loud and clear voice: "Hello, seniors! I am Lin Xu, a sophomore in materials science, majoring in catalytic materials. I am very happy to join the team and hope to receive your guidance in the future!"

His clear and organized self-introduction won applause, but when Gu Yunxi arranged for him to observe and learn first, the originally enthusiastic atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

Others quickly got to work, with the sounds of discussion and instruments operating intertwined.

Lin Xu tried to get closer, but found that he couldn't get a word in. When someone handed him the lab notebook, there was a scrutiny in their eyes; when he wanted to ask about a certain data, the answer he got was brief and perfunctory.

He stood at the edge of the crowd, watching everyone work together tacitly, and finally realized how out of place he, a "paratrooper", was.

But Lin Xu just curled the corners of his lips, pulled out a chair and sat down.

He took out his notebook and computer and began to observe the entire experimental process.

The sunlight filtered through the blinds, casting alternating light and dark shadows on his face. His fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, his eyes fixed on every detail on the lab bench.

He recorded in detail the overlooked operational loopholes and steps that could be optimized, and also attached improvement plans.

At some point, Gu Yunxi walked behind him.

She looked at the densely packed notes on the computer screen, her pupils dilated slightly - Lin Xu not only accurately pointed out the problems with the existing experiments, but also proposed three innovative solutions, one of which even coincided with her shelved idea for improving Reactor No. 3.

Noticing the gaze behind him, Lin Xu turned back abruptly, and the back of his head almost hit Gu Yunxi's chin. He stood up in a hurry, and his notebook and pen were scattered all over the floor: "Gu, Professor Gu! I, I was just taking notes..."

Gu Yunxi bent down to help him pick up the notebook. His fingertips touched the page full of formulas. He suddenly turned to face everyone: "Come on, everyone, stop for a moment. Take a look at the records made by Lin Xu. There are several points for improvement that are worth discussing."

She stood in front of the screen, explaining Lin Xu's analysis point by point, with rare appreciation in her voice.

There was silence in the laboratory. Everyone looked at the contents on the screen, their eyes changing from initial suspicion to shock.

Someone whispered: "Is this really something a sophomore could come up with?" "I might not be able to come up with these improvement plans even after three months of research..."

Lin Xu stood aside with a red face, feeling nervous and excited. He looked at Gu Yunxi's profile as he focused on explaining, and suddenly felt that the autumn sunshine was warmer and brighter than ever before.

The air in the laboratory suddenly froze. The senior pushed up his heavy glasses, and his eyes behind the lenses were scrutinizing: "Xiao Lin, the magnetic levitation improvement plan you proposed is indeed novel in theory, but in actual operation, how do you solve the magnetic field interference? You know, our existing shielding devices don't meet the requirements at all."

Although his tone was calm, it concealed a sharp edge.

Lin Xu subconsciously looked at Gu Yunxi, only to see her leaning against the lab table, tapping the surface lightly with her fingertips, her eyes filled with expectation and encouragement.

He took a deep breath, straightened his back, and raised the corners of his lips with confidence: "Senior's concerns are very important! In fact, I have noted in the record that we can try to use graphene composite film for secondary shielding."

As he spoke, he pulled out the 3D model from his computer.

"This material can not only effectively isolate magnetic fields, but also adjust the thickness according to experimental requirements, and our laboratory happens to have ready-made samples for testing."

Without waiting for anyone else to speak, the senior student with a ponytail took the lead and said, "But this will increase the cost of the experiment. The original plan is already within a controllable range. Why take the risk?" Her tone was sharp, and she was obviously full of doubts about this newcomer who suddenly appeared.

Lin Xu was not in a hurry and took out a cost analysis table from his canvas bag: "Senior sister is right, stability is indeed important. However, I compared the expenditure on consumables in the past three years and found that each experiment failure caused by magnetic field interference caused greater waste. If the new solution is adopted, although the initial investment will increase, in the long run, the efficiency improvement can reduce the overall cost by at least 30%."

He showed the table to everyone, and the clearly organized data reduced the voices of doubt.

At this time, the doctoral student who had been silent all this time adjusted his glasses and said, "Your idea is very creative, but can the improvement in catalytic efficiency really meet expectations?"

"That's exactly what I'm going to say next!"

Lin Xu's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked to the whiteboard, picked up a marker and wrote down the formula fluently.

"We can adjust the frequency of sound waves to make the molecules resonate in a specific orbit, so that..."

He used gestures to help explain as he spoke, and complex theories became easy to understand through his explanation.

Gu Yunxi looked at the jumping formula on the whiteboard and the twinkling light in Lin Xu's eyes, and her heartbeat accelerated unconsciously. She had seen too many students panic and feel awkward when facing doubts, but she had never seen anyone so calm and composed, who could not only stick to their own opinions, but also cleverly resolve the hostility of others.

When Lin Xu answered the last question, the laboratory fell into a brief silence. A moment later, applause first broke out from Gu Yunxi, breaking the deadlock with a clear sound.

The others looked at each other and began to applaud. The doubt in their eyes had long been replaced by recognition.

Lin Xu bowed slightly with a humble smile on his face: "Thank you for your questions, seniors. It has allowed me to think more comprehensively about the plan. I look forward to your guidance in the future!"

His words were sincere and appropriate, completely dispelling the team members' guard.

Gu Yunxi looked at everyone who had returned to work, then looked at Lin Xu who was carefully organizing his notes, and ripples began to form in his heart.

This young man, like a meteor that suddenly burst into the world of scientific research, illuminated her originally gloomy scientific research path with dazzling light...
