Great Country Academician

Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, not wanting to understand why this happened to him again.

He is now a physics student with only a little achievement in mathematics, and he doesn't know anything about materials. Ask him what he does.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I'm not familiar with materials, but from a mathematical point of view, I might be able to give a suggestion."

"Of course, it's just a suggestion."

Chen Zhengping raised his eyebrows, glanced at his disciple, and said, "Go ahead."

"I think that when the mathematical model is complete, the experimental process in all aspects has reached the optimal point. In this case, if there are still defects, it may not be a problem with the experimental process."

"It may be that there is something wrong with the raw materials, or the reducing agent, or the catalyst."

"I remember, teacher, you said a few days ago that the hydrogen reducing agent is indeed the most suitable reducing agent for tungsten diselenide, but the source of this data is not so rigorous, and it may not be applicable to your diselenide. A new research and development method for tungsten."

Hearing this, Chen Zhengping pondered for a while and said, "You mean to replace the hydrogen reducing agent?"

Xu Chuan nodded, and said: "Well, it may not be the problem of the reducing agent, it may be the hot solvent, but anyway, the mathematical model has been made now, and the experimental process has reached the optimum. New reducing agents or hot solvents don't take too long."

"And after having a certain amount of data, you can analyze and analyze the optimal results with the help of mathematical models, why not give it a try?"

"If the hydrogen reducing agent doesn't work, what reducing agent should I replace?"

Chen Zhengping thought about it, as if he was talking to himself, or asking Xu Chuan.

Hearing the question, Xu Chuan was a little ashamed, and said: "I don't know about this, so I won't bother you, teacher. I have to go back and prepare for the Princeton mathematics meeting in February."

He didn't lie when he said that, he really doesn't know what reducing agent is the most suitable for the synthesis of tungsten diselenide nanosheets.

However, based on his past material research and development experience, he can guess one or two reducing agents that are better than hydrogen reducing agents.

But it is impossible for him to say that, after all, he does not have any experience in material research and development, and he may not believe any tutor who says that he is guessing.

Without any evidence, no one would do this without any data support, after all, every experiment costs money.

Moreover, with Chen Zhengping's ability, he has already reached this point, and with the assistance of mathematical models, it is not too difficult to solve the impact caused by van der Waals force.

At most, just spend a little more time trying.

It may not be perfect, but it can definitely solve part of it.

In addition, the yield rate of 80% is already valuable for the material of tungsten diselenide.

Because the countries that have mastered the synthesis of tungsten diselenide are basically using CVD tube furnaces for synthesis.

Although the yield rate will be higher, reaching more than 90%, the price of the top-level CVD tube furnace is not cheap. It costs more than 100,000 domestically produced ones, and Germania, a small island country can casually buy one. It can be hundreds of thousands, and the more expensive ones can even exceed seven figures.

This new thermal solvent synthesis does not require a top-level CVD tube furnace. At this point, it is enough to show its great advantages.

If the instructor finally solves the impact caused by van der Waals force, and can increase the yield of tungsten diselenide nanosheets, it does not need to be raised to a high level, but can be increased to 90%, and this market can be directly smashed through. .

At that time, not to mention that the Western monopoly tungsten diselenide material will be sold domestically at a high price, even if there is a price war with the domestic market, there will be no pants left that can be compensated.

Hearing Xu Chuan's words, Chen Zhengping woke up with a start, looked at Xu Chuan and sighed: "Well, this research and development experiment of tungsten diselenide material is thanks to you."

"Actually, more than a month ago, when the thermal solvent synthesis method was stuck at 60% efficiency, I faintly thought of giving up this project."

"Because the delay is too long, every experiment is burning money, but there is almost no progress."

"Before you mentioned that the peak period affected the raw materials, I hadn't considered this issue. Regarding the data, I had asked someone to analyze it before, but I didn't get any useful information."

"So I had a vague feeling that this project might not work out, so I planned to give up if there was no progress after the Chinese New Year."

"But now, an 80% yield rate is already worth enough. I will try my best to try to improve it and solve the van der Waals effect."

Smiling, Chen Zhengping continued: "No matter what, I really have to thank you this time. After the project is completed and submitted, your bonus will not be less. After all, this is a project that is related to the market value of billions of dollars. project."

"In the future, if you have a chance, you can come with me to learn the materials, and you can also work as a side job."

Up to now, the smog in Chen Zhengping's heart has almost dissipated.

Regardless of his being an academician, he has reached the top of the domestic scientific community, but the pressure will not be less than that of any professor, or even greater.

On the other side, the elder brother Fan Pengyue who heard the teacher's words was shocked.

Mentor wants to cancel the project? He never heard the teacher reveal this matter.

If the project is cancelled, there is a high probability that he will have to postpone it.

so close.

Fortunately, the younger brother saved his life.

I have to find a chance to thank you.

Soak your feet or go for a big health care?

I just don't know which one the younger brother likes?

Coming out of the material research and development building, Xu Chuan looked up at the blue sky and stretched.

The tutor's material experiment is basically over here, and the rest has nothing to do with him. He just waits for the bonus after the project is completed and submitted.

As for the next thing, it is to prepare to go to Princeton after the Chinese New Year.

It is now January 15th of 2016 in the Gregorian calendar, and the winter vacation will be in two or three days. Princeton's mathematics meeting will start on February 16th, and this year's Chinese New Year is February 7th.

In other words, he had to leave home at the latest on the eighth day of the lunar calendar.

"In the blink of an eye, another year has passed." Looking into the distance, Xu Chuan sighed.

But in the past year, he didn't waste time.

IMO+IPHO double gold medal, participating in information warfare to solve the information security crisis for the country, two papers + solving a world-class mathematical conjecture, although the mathematical conjecture is only a weakened form, but it is also a world-class problem.

In addition, he also learned new mathematics knowledge, and by the way helped his tutor solve a project that was about to be abandoned.

Think about it, the days are still quite enough.

Of course, in addition to this year, he earned several million from academic papers and achievements, not to mention, in terms of academic achievements, this is not worth mentioning.
