22 [Not interested in being friends with you]
In the next few days, Xiang Nandu worked with Gablehouse to create "Using the Density of Kuiper Belt Celestial Objects to Define Its Elemental Composition and Formation History."
Howard returned to his previous Mars Rover project team and continued to explore Mars; Leslie also continued his research on symbolic lepton supersymmetry.
The three of them would only get together after get off work in the evening to discuss the superfluid vortex experiment.
First, designing experiments is not something that can be accomplished overnight. After some scientific theories are proposed, it often takes several years or even decades to design experiments to verify their authenticity.
In the play, nearly a year has passed since Leonard and Sheldon proposed the surface tension of superfluid to the formal superfluid vortex experiment.
For one thing, the three of them each have research projects. If they abandon these projects and only study quantum navigation systems, the school will never agree.
In the play, when Sheldon found that his research on string theory had reached a dead end and had no progress for a long time, and wanted to switch to research on the theory of cosmic inflation, he was banned by the school.
The reason is that the school hired him to study string theory, and his research funds can only be used for string theory, and he is not allowed to change fields privately.
Moreover, their research projects must produce scientific results. Otherwise, if the project is cancelled, they may be fired.
In the play, Rajesh was almost deported because he failed to test the composition of the Neptune object and the project was canceled.
Previously, it only took a few days for Xiang Nan, Howard, and Leslie to derive the surface tension of superfluids. As long as they took a vacation and were lazy, they could cover up the past, but it would not last long.
Therefore, they are busy with their own projects now and only experiment in their spare time.
…
"Raj, Howie~" Leonard sat over with food during lunch, "You have to help me persuade Sheldon."
"What happened to him?" Howard asked curiously.
"After he was fired by Dr. Gablehouse, he now stays at home every day and keeps changing research projects. The day before yesterday he was studying scrambled eggs, yesterday he was studying luminous fish, and today he even bought a textile machine
Machine..." Leonard held his forehead and said helplessly.
"Wow, really?! Then I'm going to broaden my horizons." Howard said excitedly after hearing this.
"Howie, now is not the time to gloat, our friends need our help." Leonard said seriously.
"Leonard, how do you want us to help him?" Xiang Nan said, "Actually, we all know in our hearts that the best way to resolve this matter is for Sheldon to apologize to Dr. Gablehouse.
But with his arrogant and self-centered character, how can he be willing to bow his head and apologize? Even if we try to persuade him, it will be useless. When will he listen to our advice?"
"Yeah, Sheldon always thinks that he is right, but when did he listen to what we said?" Howard also shook his head and said, giving up hope of persuading Sheldon to apologize.
"Then what should we do? Do nothing and watch him go into waste?" Leonard said urgently.
He admitted that what Xiang Nan said made sense, and he had tried to persuade Sheldon many times, but it was always in vain, so he asked Xiang Nan and Howard for help.
"That's not true. He is our friend after all." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "My suggestion is, since we can't persuade him, why not find someone who can persuade him?"
Hearing what he said, Leonard's eyes suddenly lit up, "Hey, Raj, what a great idea, I never thought of it."
"Oh, what bad idea did you come up with?!" Howard shook his head and complained, "Wouldn't it be better to let him stay at home for a few more days and let us enjoy some more clean days?"
…
Leonard then asked Sheldon's mother to take action based on Xiang Nan's suggestion.
Mom takes action, one can stand up to two.
At his mother's request, Sheldon obediently apologized to Dr. Gablehouse, and then returned to work at Caltech.
"Welcome back, Sheldon~" Xiang Nan greeted with a smile when the four of them sat together again during lunch.
"Huh~" Sheldon put on a bad face.
"What's going on?" Xiang Nan asked doubtfully. He had not provoked Sheldon recently, so he didn't know why he was so embarrassed.
"It was you who suggested Leonard find my mother." Sheldon stared at Xiang Nan with his eyes wide open, and denounced him, "I am giving you my first warning now."
"What?! You gave me a warning just for this reason?" Xiang Nan said in surprise, "I'm doing this for your own good."
"I'm an adult now, I can take care of my own business. And no matter what happens to me, I shouldn't go to my mother." Sheldon said plausibly.
"Okay, since you are already an adult, why don't you dare to drive, go to the dentist, or get food by yourself, but let so many friends help you?" Seeing that he was ungrateful, Xiang Nan blamed himself.
No, he immediately said very angry.
"Otters who want to eat clams know how to knock them with rocks. In my opinion, you are my tools." Sheldon said confidently, and then stretched out two fingers, "Also, this is the second warning! Three times.
Warning, you are out!"
"Okay, you can give me a third warning. I'm not interested in being friends with someone who only treats me as a tool." Xiang Nan said angrily, then picked up his food and sat at another table.
"Raj, come back, Sheldon didn't mean that." Leonard saw this and hurriedly tried to mediate.
Xiang Nan ignored it.
For him, breaking off diplomatic relations with Sheldon would do more good than harm.
Sheldon is selfish, has a sharp tongue, is conceited and has low emotional intelligence. He also likes to be in the limelight and grab credit. Whoever cooperates with him will be unlucky.
Before, Raj stayed with him mainly because he was lonely.
He didn't have many friends in the United States, he was only acquainted with Leonard, Howard, and Sheldon. In addition, a few people had similar interests and could play together, so in order to avoid loneliness, he tolerated even some grievances.
But now Raj is no longer alone. He has normal communication skills and can make more friends. Moreover, he is now busy doing scientific research and projects, such as game nights, comic nights, Easter egg shooting, etc., he
Haven't been there for a long time.
Therefore, breaking off diplomatic relations with Sheldon now will not affect his life, but will make him stay away from troublemakers and lead a happier life.
Seeing that Xiang Nan had decided to leave, Leonard couldn't help but let out a depressed sigh.
Howard looked at Sheldon, then at Xiang Nan, then stood up and sat in front of Xiang Nan with the food in his hands.
There was a breakup in the quartet.
Leonard frowned even more when he saw this.
He didn't have many friends to begin with, but he lost two of them in one meal.
"Are you happy now?!" He looked at Sheldon depressedly.
"Why am I unhappy?" Sheldon said indifferently, "Reducing meaningless social interactions will allow me to focus more on work."
