Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Chapter 14 14 [The lesser of two evils]

Hearing what Xiang Nan said, Howard thought about it and felt it made sense.

Sheldon is indeed conceited and always puts himself first.

Whenever someone surpassed him, whether it was a friend or a competitor, he would become very unhappy.

When Leonard and him collaborated on supersolid research before, Shelton insisted on signing the first author on the paper.

Howard can imagine that once Sheldon joins this project, he will definitely rush to be the person in charge, and confidently regard other people as subordinates.

At that time, even if the result is achieved, he will definitely grab the credit. Others have worked hard in vain, but in the end they have nothing.

"You're right, we can't cooperate with Sheldon." Howard nodded vigorously, "What about Leonard, do you want him to join?"

"Not for now. Haven't you seen it yet, Leonard is Sheldon's slave. As soon as Leonard joins, Sheldon will definitely know." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

"Leonard is not as miserable as you said." Howard frowned and said doubtfully.

"Why not? Leonard is in charge of driving Sheldon, fetching food, taking him to the doctor, shopping, taking care of his life. That's what slaves do.

And Sheldon controls Leonard's life, entertainment, work, love, and even defecation time. Truth be told, it's wider than a slave can manage. "Xiang Nan helped him analyze it.

Howard blinked, feeling that what he said did make sense.

Sheldon did keep Leonard under strict control, even affecting both of them.

For example, because Sheldon is afraid of the sun, they can't play outdoors in summer; because Sheldon is overbearing, they can't sit in his special seat; because Sheldon drinks cold drinks too fast, causing headaches, many times they watched half of the movie, and they just watched the movie. Forced to leave with him...

Not to mention that Sheldon also helped them customize the recipes, and they ate strictly according to the recipes every week, and they couldn't change any tricks.

In this way, Leonard really cannot join.

He was more influenced by Sheldon, and there was no difference between him joining and Sheldon joining.

"But, can only the two of us do it? You're just an astrophysicist, and I'm just an engineer." Howard said worriedly again.

"Let's try it first, if it doesn't work, let's find a way." Xiang Nan nodded.

He admitted that the two of them cannot do everything together, and they will definitely encounter many difficulties during the research and development process.

But there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. He didn't want to do nothing, so he retreated first.

Besides, the lesser of two evils. He would rather slow down the pace of research and development, and he doesn't want Sheldon to come in and interfere, and finally make everyone busy.

"OK!" Howard also nodded.

...

Later, Xiang Nan and Howard met with the real estate agent and looked at several houses.

In the end, he chose to rent a single room with one bedroom and one living room in the apartment at 6175 York Road.

It is about ten kilometers away from Caltech. If you drive, it only takes 20 minutes to get there. The transportation is very convenient.

Moreover, it is surrounded by convenience stores, gas stations, fast food restaurants, museums, parks, etc., and the supporting facilities are also very complete.

The most important thing is that the public security environment here is relatively good, and the apartment has an access control system, which can guarantee the safety of the residents' personal property.

Therefore, after a comprehensive comparison, Xiang Nan decided to choose it as his new home.

Its rent is also relatively cheap, only 1,500 US dollars for one bedroom and one living room, which is much cheaper than the house rented before.

Xiang Nan then signed the contract and paid the rent and deposit. Renting a house here in the United States is one deposit and one payment.

After choosing a house, Xiang Nan started to move the next day.

Both Leonard and Howard were captured by him.

"I want to accompany my mother to the water aerobics class, so I really can't help you." Howard declined.

"My computer has a problem, and I need to reinstall the system." Leonard also refused.

Neither of them like sports, let alone such a tiring thing as moving.

"Whoever helps me move, I will give him the limited edition Green Lantern energy lamp and the Hulk gloves signed by Stan Lee." Xiang Nan said with a slight smile.

"When I think about it this way, I seem to have misremembered the time when my mother went to class. She should go tomorrow." Howard immediately changed his words.

"I also don't think there is any need to rush to reinstall the system." Leonard also immediately changed his words.

"You two are really bad friends." Xiang Nan rolled his eyes and said.

Three people and two cars moved for a day, and finally the move was almost done.

And some large luggage, such as refrigerators, ovens, air conditioners, etc., will be cleared and transported by the moving company.

After everything was done, Xiang Nan went through the check-out procedures with the original landlord and got his deposit back.

The moving matter is considered to be over.

...

"The previous house lived well, why did you suddenly change it? This house is not as good as your original one." Penny asked curiously.

"The monthly rent for that room was 4,500 US dollars. Although my father helped me pay the card bill, I don't think men should always rely on their parents." Xiang Nan explained.

Hearing what he said, Penny nodded, thinking it made sense.

She came to Hollywood from Omaha alone, without financial support from her family, but she kept going on her own.

"Haney, when you say that, it makes me think you're so masculine." Penny laughed.

"Thank you." Xiang Nan nodded.

...

On Monday, back at school, Xiang Nan finished the thesis "Edgworth-Kyber Fragmentation Disk".

He had almost finished writing this thesis last week, and there was only some verification work left today.

After checking, he sent the paper to a preprint server.

The reason for this is that, on the one hand, if a paper is submitted for publication according to the normal process, it will take several months for peer journal review alone. Publishing a paper on a preprint server only requires a day or two of screening.

Whoever publishes the same research result first will own it. Therefore, in the field of scientific research, time is more important than money.

On the one hand, the nature of the preprint server is open access, allowing more readers to read the paper, thus bringing more popularity and reputation.

The purpose of Xiang Nan's writing this paper is to become famous, so naturally the more people who read it, the better.

After finishing this paper, Xiang Nan began to study "N-dimensional superfluid surface tension model" with Howard.

Once the research is successful, he can build a superfluid vortex model with Howard, and then create a quantum navigation system and a quantum communication system.

Once these two new inventions are successfully developed, he and Howard will be able to benefit endlessly, and they will no longer have to worry about money for the rest of their lives.

So both of them are serious about it. The calculation started in the afternoon, and I kept busy until I got off work.
