Wang Haifeng guessed one thing right, which was that HCS-1 did have room for development.
However, he was wrong about something else.
The reason why Lu Zhou published the in-progress result had nothing to do with Lu Zhou's research reaching a bottleneck; it was because Lu Zhou simply didn't care.
Even though his theory played an important application role, Lu Zhou realized that his theory could only exert its full potential through communicating with others.
Most people that read the journal would think that the HCS-1 thesis was the most important part and ignore the theory-based thesis.
However, Lu Zhou paid more emphasis on the theory.
This was just like the chicken and the egg theory.
If someone could understand his mathematical theory on computational materials and innovate using that theory, he wouldn't feel there was anything wrong with it. Rather, he would feel honored.
