Chapter 290 The impact of changes in all parties
In fact, after Ye Ye learned that Wang Donglai’s paper was published in the journal Science, Lei Fumin knew that he had no chance.
The reason is very simple!
He couldn’t publish in the journal Science, but Wang Donglai could. What does this mean?
It means that Wang Donglai’s academic achievements have far exceeded his own estimation and have been recognized by the academic community.
At this moment, in Lei Fumin's heart, there was both envy and jealousy, as well as a hint of anger.
With such complicated emotions, Lei Fumin took the journal from Tian Tian's hand and read it.
The two papers have quite a lot of words and are very detailed. Even if Lei Fumin, wearing tinted glasses, wanted to deliberately find fault with them, he would have been unable to do so.
And this is not the most embarrassing thing.
What embarrassed him most was that even though the paper was placed in front of him, Lei Fumin did not understand the content of the paper.
With his own students watching from the side, Lei Fumin naturally would not show any timidity.
After reading the content of the paper, Lei Fumin rolled his eyes slightly and said with disdain and anger on his face: "I just said, how could he, a math major, make a breakthrough in materials science? It turns out that it was exposed to the light of the instrument . ”
“If you give me these instruments, I can also achieve these results, even better than him!”
Lei Fumin’s words seemed to be harsh criticism. Wang Donglai was actually very sad.
He is also an old man in this field. He has been in the laboratory for many years, and he understands the importance of good equipment and instruments.
Just like a scanning electron microscope, the scanning electron microscope used in his laboratory is called a lanthanum hexaboride electron gun.
As one of the top two universities in the country, Peking University naturally has a lot of funding, and its equipment and instruments are much better than those of other schools.
That’s why his laboratory can use this kind of instrument. What he uses is the JEM-2100 model produced in Sakura Country, which is worth 2.5 million.
This price is definitely not low.
There are some that are more expensive than it, but there are many that are cheaper than it.
And this instrument is not worth its price. The JEM-2100 transmission electron microscope uses bright field, dark field, electron diffraction and high-resolution imaging technology to analyze the fine structure of various inorganic, organic and composite materials. It is also equipped with STEM and energy spectroscopy. The attachment analyzes the composition and distribution of the sample, and records various information of the sample through the CCD digital imaging system.
Acceleration voltage 200KV, high-resolution pole piece, sample tilt angle: ±25° in X direction, ±25° in Y direction; in TEM mode, point resolution is 0.23nm, magnification 2000~1500000.
It can be said that the parameters are sufficient for most laboratory experiments.
The reason why Lei Fumin has the confidence to study new energy batteries is the confidence brought by the high-precision instruments in the laboratory.
However, he never expected that the instrument Wang Donglai used was even better than his.
He recognized at a glance that the instrument Wang Donglai used was a field emission electron gun, and it was also a cold field emission electron gun with better performance.
The price also soared directly to the starting level of 5 million, 7 million for qualified, and 9 million for excellent.
In the experiment, there is no such thing as poor students having too much stationery.
Having more sophisticated instruments and equipment means that it has greater advantages than ordinary equipment and can discover more results.
If this were not the case, these cutting-edge instruments and equipment would not have been studied all the time, and the sales would have been quite good.
Lei Fumin glanced at the field, thought for a while, and decided to cheer up his students, and said: "The two papers he published are actually nothing. They are just theoretical results, far from it. to the point of actual production, so I There is still a chance for our research.”
“Although I don’t know where Tangdu Jiaotong University got so much funding to purchase so many experimental instruments and equipment, I don’t believe it. Wang Donglai is a math major. You can really catch up with me in this area. Decades of accumulation of technology and experience.”
“If he really had a remarkable technological breakthrough, I’m afraid he wouldn’t have published this paper, but would have waited until the patent application was approved before publishing the paper. ."
"The more he is like this The more he does, the more he proves it. He is afraid!"
"He is eager to release his research results just to prove his research strength to others, and then use this reputation to go abroad. Trick other people.”
"There are no shortcuts in scientific research. What he did is actually cheating and will not last long."
"Only if we study down to earth is the right way."
"You understand. No? "
After Lei Fumin finished speaking, he looked at the field, waiting for his answer.
Tian Ye is not a fool, he immediately said: "Boss, I understand!"
However, Tian Ye still hesitated for a moment and said: "Boss, Professor Wang also founded a company called Galaxy Technology, and its current valuation has reached tens of billions."
"Do you think so? Could it be that Professor Wang has actually researched it, but hasn’t announced it yet?”
Lei Fumin’s face froze, and he had really forgotten Wang Donglai’s other identity.
The founder of Galaxy Technology has a net worth of tens of billions!
The original momentum has also weakened a bit invisibly.
However, Lei Fumin reacted quickly and said with certainty: "He has always studied mathematics. Although it is undeniable that mathematics is important and can play a great role in the research field, this does not mean that Wang Donglai was able to do this against the laws of nature. Such academic achievements are already very impressive for a newcomer. If there are other achievements, then he is no longer a human, but a god! "
Lei Fumin said! I absolutely do not believe that Wang Donglai has any more academic achievements.
The hesitation on Tian Ye’s face slowly faded away.
“Boss, shall we continue our project?” Tian Tian asked curiously.
“Do it, why not do it!”
"Since Professor Wang has pointed out the way forward for us, then we will just go in this direction. As long as we develop lithium-sulfur batteries before them, we will be successful. By that time, there will be no Someone remembers who published the paper first.”
After thinking about it, Lei Fumin still felt that it was a waste to give up research on energy development.
He plucked up the courage and encouraged Tian Tian.
In order to achieve better results and make Tian Ye work harder for him, Lei Fumin's face showed a trace of gentleness and his tone became cordial.
"Tianye, let me ask you, if you come up with a great result through research, are you going to publish a paper first, or are you going to wait until the result is implemented and becomes a reality before publishing a paper?"
"In addition, do you think that for people like Wang Donglai, is publishing a paper more important, or is it the benefits that Galaxy Technology will earn through this opportunity?"
Is Lei Fumin rich in experience? , two words made Tianye’s mind change.
At this moment, Tianye finally understood what Lei Fumin said.
He knew that what Lei Fumin said was true.
Lithium-sulfur batteries are so important. Even if most people are stupid, they will not leak such things casually.
Not to mention publishing the paper directly when there is just progress.
If you are just a school professor or a graduate student, it is normal.
Ordinary graduate students need high-quality papers to make their resumes look better, and they also hope to find a good job.
The same is true for professors in colleges and universities.
In domestic academic circles, colleges and universities implement the rule of promotion or resignation.
If the scientific research indicators are not met within the specified time, I am afraid that I will need to leave the university.
So, no one can have too much of a high-quality academic paper. However, this did not work for Wang Donglai.
At a young age, only twenty years old, he is already a full professor at Tangdu Jiaotong University.
He is also a winner of the Fields Medal and a famous young mathematician belonging to global civilization.
Even if it's just for the name, Tangdu Jiaotong University will keep Wang Donglai. As for the scientific research indicators, that's optional.
In this way, it can be said that Wang Donglai chose to publish a paper just after the breakthrough in the academic theory of lithium-sulfur batteries.
“Boss, I understand. Professor Wang probably hasn’t completed a technological breakthrough, so he is thinking of increasing the valuation of Galaxy Technology by publishing papers. With this combination, at least it will be able to benefit Galaxy Technology. Technology has increased its valuation by hundreds of millions, and by that time, his net worth will also skyrocket!"
"This is much easier than studying honestly."
Hear. Lei Fumin nodded in agreement with Tian Ye's analysis.
However, Lei Fumin still corrected Tian Ye's mistake and said: "You are still too timid to dare to guess boldly!"
"A few hundred million is indeed a big deal, but For international giants, it is a piece of cake. . ”
“If this price can be obtained, I’m afraid they will laugh out of their dreams!”
If they confirm that this technology is established, the price of several hundred million may not be available. Wang Donglai's ears will be excluded.
As an expert in this field, Lei Fumin understands the importance and value of this technology.
A few hundred million US dollars is probably about the same, and other conditions may even need to be added.
After all, lithium-sulfur batteries are really superior to lithium iron phosphate and lithium batteries.
As a scholar and professor in this field, Lei Fumin knows these things very well.
Patents are more important than you imagine!
Only by owning a patent can you obtain all these benefits.
Therefore, based on multiple sources and past situations, Lei Fumin dared to assert that Wang Donglai had only obtained some theoretical results through equipment with better performance, and was still far from a real technological breakthrough.
Even based on Wang Donglai's performance at the last exchange seminar, Lei Fumin even suspected that Wang Donglai had actually conducted research in this area long ago and made some achievements.
However, when he thought of Wang Donglai's age and his achievements after entering university, Lei Fumin gave up this somewhat reasonable guess.
At this time, Lei Fumin had come out of the complicated emotions surrounding Wang Donglai's publication of a paper in the journal Science, and was replaced by ridicule of Wang Donglai.
“After all, we are young people and have no determination. So what if we have the ability!”
With a sigh in his heart, Lei Fumin gave instructions to Tianye and said: "Although I say this, we must pay attention to Wang Donglai."
"During this period, just keep an eye on Tangdu Jiaodahe The laboratory of Galaxy Technology should use their brains to see if there is any good way to obtain some specific research information."
Ye Ye's face suddenly turned bitter. He simply did what Lei Fumin asked. Less than.
“Boss, I can’t do what you’re talking about!”
“At most I know a few students from Tangdu Jiaotong University. If it’s general news, I might still know something. Second, there is nothing I can do about the situation in the laboratory.”
"It's the same with Galaxy Technology!"
Tianye doesn't offer everything, and if something can't be done, he must refuse it immediately.
He also learned this from Lei Fumin and tempered it.
Hearing what Tian Ye said, Lei Fumin's face turned ugly. He snorted coldly and said, "You can't handle this thing well. It's a waste!"
"Okay. Well, since you can’t do it, I won’t force you to do it. You should just do the chores you are good at!”
"Now that Wang Donglai has published a paper in Science, let's change the name of the project first, then reapply for research funding, and add an additional 20 million to the original amount!"
"If the above is really true, If it can be approved, the laboratory equipment must be Let’s replace it with a new batch of materials!”
Lei Fumin looked at the equipment and instruments he was used to, and suddenly felt a little dissatisfied, and immediately made a decision in his heart, if the superiors really allocated a large amount of money for research. As for the funds, he would also buy a cold field emission electron gun.
……
Tangdu Jiaotong University.
Institute of Advanced Mathematics.
In a quiet office, there are a lot of books everywhere.
This office belongs to Zhang Yitang who returned from overseas.
Originally, Zhang Yitang was invited to return to China before, but was rejected by Zhang Yitang.
Logically speaking, this matter is over here.
But he didn't expect that as Wang Donglai proved Goldbach's conjecture, Zhang Yitang took the initiative to make a call to Tangdu Jiaotong University.
On the phone, he first expressed his apology for what happened last time, and then expressed his desire to return to China.
For scholars like Zhang Yitang who want to return to China, Tangdu Jiao is naturally very welcoming.
As a result, Zhang Yitang stayed at the Institute of Advanced Mathematics at Jiaotong University in Tangdu and devoted himself wholeheartedly to proving twin prime numbers.
Everyone knows why Zhang Yitang returned to China.
It's nothing more than wanting to use Wang Donglai's ability to help him improve his mathematics level.
Xu Songyao also sought Wang Donglai’s opinion, and with Wang Donglai’s consent and support, Zhang Yitang officially joined.
During the exchange and study with Wang Donglai, Zhang Yitang made rapid progress in the process of twin prime numbers.
A few months have passed, and Zhang Yitang's eyes are already red and bloodshot. His face looks extremely tired, but he is extremely energetic.
“If I could have known Professor Wang earlier, I might have accomplished this long ago!”
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Zhang Yitang held a pen in his hand and was writing and drawing on a piece of draft paper.
He kept mumbling in his mouth.
Finally, the chanting stopped, and Zhang Yitang's face showed a look of relief and happiness.
“I finally did it!”
Zhang Yitang held this piece of draft paper as if it weighed a hundred pounds, making his expression extremely serious.
He knew it from this moment on.
Another difficult problem in mathematics has been solved.
The certifier is himself!
