Los Angeles.
This time the Adams Chemistry Prize was held in this city.
Before the awards, there will be a symposium on organic chemistry held by the Bald Eagle Chemical Society.
According to the process, Wang Donglai and other experts and professors of organic chemistry will participate in this seminar, and as the winner, Wang Donglai also needs to give a one-hour speech.
There are no specific requirements for the content of the speech, but on this occasion, the content of the speech will undoubtedly be in the field of organic chemistry.
For many people, the Adams Chemistry Prize may not be as important as this symposium.
After all, only one person wins the Adams Prize in Chemistry every two years.
With so many scholars and professors around the world, the competition is so intense.
So, from a practical point of view, you can get some inspiration from seminars where many big guys gather, or you can get the support of a certain academic big shot, or you can get a sum of money. Satisfaction is the most realistic and useful gain.
The Adams Chemistry Prize is an extremely important award in Bald Eagle and around the world.
Nearly half of the winners will win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry after winning the Adams Prize in Chemistry. This shows the gold content of the Adams Prize in Chemistry.
The importance of the award is not only reflected in academia, but also in its impact on the real industry that cannot be ignored.
Originally, Wang Donglai should have contacted the staff of the Chemical Society when he arrived in Los Angeles.
But because of what happened to Professor Ruan Wei, Wang Donglai did not rush to contact him. Instead, he waited until Fan Lili regained her composure, then took out her phone and contacted the staff of the Chemical Society.
After some communication on the phone, Wang Donglai waited for the staff at Latham & Watkins Law Firm to pick him up.
I have to say that as an award winner, you still get the spectacle and treatment you deserve.
After all, Bald Eagle took the initiative to award this award to Wang Donglai, rather than Wang Dong coming to seek recognition from the Adams Chemistry Award.
At home, when the news of the winner of this award spread.
In fact, it did not cause much trouble in the country.
Firstly, because many people do not know the value of the Adams Chemistry Award, and secondly, because many people have gradually adapted to Wang Donglai's abnormality.
However, in the hearts of many professors and scholars in the industry, it has already caused waves.
Such an important award was actually awarded directly to a young man in his twenties.
Although there are tangible achievements in front of them, some people still feel jealous in their hearts.
So, under a strange tacit understanding, the news that Wang Donglai won the Adams Prize in Chemistry did not attract much attention.
However, this is not the case in Bald Eagle.
soon.
The staff of the Chemical Association came to the Latham & Watkins law firm and met Wang Donglai.
"Wang, this is the first time we meet, please allow me to introduce myself."
"I am from Harvard. I am also a member of the award committee and a director of the Chemical Society. What do you call I’m brown.”
As soon as we met, a middle-aged white man with Mediterranean hair greeted Wang Donglai warmly and introduced himself.
After hearing Brown's self-introduction, Wang Donglai acted very calmly and said hello: "Hello, Mr. Brown."
"Although I have heard that the person who developed the lithium-sulfur battery was a man from the East. The young professor from China is a genius who has proved many mathematical problems in the world, but when I really saw you, I couldn't help but be a little shocked."
“There are indeed geniuses loved by God in this world. Their appearance makes many people realize their own shortcomings and dedicate their applause and worship to these geniuses. As an audience, to see , to witness the rise of a genius!"
Mr. Brown said this to Wang Donglai in an exaggerated manner unique to white people.
Chinese people like to be modest and subtle.
But white people don't pay attention to these things, so when facing these white people, Wang Donglai never thought of being modest.
Hearing Brown's praise, Wang Donglai nodded and said: "Mr. Brown, I am very happy to hear your evaluation of me. The country I come from is an ancient super civilization with thousands of years of history. , with a population of more than one billion, it is not surprising that a genius like me appears. In fact, in my country, there are more geniuses, but they have not been discovered.”
Brown is a bit exaggerated. He said to Wang Donglai: "Oh, that's really exciting. I have also heard about Dongfanghua Country. It seems that I need to take some time to visit your country. I am very interested in a country that can cultivate a genius like you."
Wang Donglaishun. Shi extended an invitation and said: "Believe me , my motherland promises not to let you down!"
Mr. Brown changed the topic and said: "I forgot to congratulate you. You won the Adams Prize in Chemistry. You are only half a step away from the Nobel Prize. ”
Hearing what Brown said, Wang Donglai nodded and said calmly: "I believe that this day will not be too far away!"
"What an enviable youth and vitality!"
Brown smiled and did not say whether he believed it or not. Instead, he avoided the topic and said: "This award, because it is awarded to you, attracted a lot of attention." Many scholars and professors in this field want to hear your research ideas, and they are looking forward to it. Even I came here in advance for this reason."
"Don't worry, Mr. Brown. , I believe everyone will not be disappointed in this academic seminar!”
The smile on Brown’s face gradually became lighter.
Although Western white people like directness and dislike modesty, as a veteran professor in the field of organic chemistry, Brown is naturally both strong and capable in being able to become a professor at Harvard and a member of the Adams Chemistry Award Committee.
As an old white man, Brown may not really want to see an outstanding junior like Wang Donglai in his heart.
Especially Wang Donglai is a Chinese from the East.
Having not studied abroad at Bald Eagle, even the lithium-sulfur battery project that won this award has nothing to do with Bald Eagle.
It is already a rare thing to be able to award the award to Wang Donglai.
And Brown came so proactively because he actually had his own ideas.
The words of congratulations to Wang Donglai I just said were not completely sincere. As for saying that Wang Donglai is only half a step away from the Nobel Prize, it was just a polite comment.
Although half of the winners of the Adams Prize in Chemistry have won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, the other half have not.
In Brown’s view, if Wang Donglai is not willing to become a naturalized bald eagle, submit a certificate of nomination, and not work hard for bald eagles for decades, there is probably no hope of winning the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Brown knew one thing, that is, when Wang Donglai won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, he had already offended some Jewish people because of his lack of cooperation and poor attitude.
And these Judahs may not be able to accomplish anything, but they can certainly do bad things.
The future development of Wang Donglai, who offended a group of Judah people, may not be bright in Brown's view.
Combined with various calculations, the reason why Brown is so proactive is because he wants to obtain some information about lithium-sulfur batteries from Wang Donglai and plots the huge economic benefits of lithium-sulfur batteries.
This meeting was held in a high-end hotel in Los Angeles.
On the way to the hotel, Brown naturally chatted with Wang Donglai about lithium-sulfur batteries.
"Wang, since you published your last paper, it has caused a huge shock in the industry. No one thought that the problem of lithium-sulfur batteries would be solved by you. If it weren't for the detailed paper data in front of you, I can't believe it."
"It is said that your company has already transferred lithium. The patent for sulfur batteries has been authorized and has entered the manufacturing process, which is simply enviable!”
“I think after such a long time, Wang, you should have made more research discoveries, although I don’t know about you! Why no papers were published, but even the previous papers had many high-level It is a very difficult problem. I would like to take this opportunity to chat with you and ask you for advice."
Wang Donglai smiled and said, "Mr. Brown, you are wrong. In fact, we are studying lithium. Sulfur batteries only account for a part of my work, so after the successful development of lithium-sulfur batteries, I I haven’t invested more energy in this, let alone published a paper.”
“As for asking for advice and discussion, there is no problem with it. Coming to participate in the award this time is not academic. Seminar, I will explain it then.”
Brown's eyes moved slightly, a slightly exaggerated look of surprise appeared on his face, and he said: "Oh, it's unbelievable!"
"If others knew that the research and development of lithium-sulfur batteries was only part of your job, It doesn’t take up all your energy, I’m afraid your jaw will drop.”
“Just one! Lithium-sulfur batteries have already triggered changes in various fields, and this is just one of your achievements.”
“I think genius can no longer be used to describe you.”
< br>“To use a Chinese word to describe it, it seems to be ‘monster’, I think it is more appropriate!”
Brown, who was sitting in the car, was indeed a little surprised by Wang Donglai at this moment.
However, after a brief shock, Brown came to his senses and became a little suspicious.
He is an expert in this field and is also very aware of the difficulty of materials science.
If the breakthrough of lithium-sulfur batteries was simple, it would have been broken long ago, and it would be impossible to survive until now.
So, Brown was subconsciously full of doubts at the first moment.
Seemingly noticing Brown's suspicion, Wang Donglai continued: "Actually, luck plays a big factor in the research on materials. I think Professor Brown should be able to understand."
Nodding, Brown Said: "That's true."
"I don't know what kind of research Professor Wang is doing besides studying lithium-sulfur batteries. Research, I am really curious."
Looking at Brown, Wang Donglai said: "I am still young, so I am very interested in some cutting-edge technologies, such as artificial intelligence technology and this. Unmanned driving based on technology, etc.”
Wang Donglai did not say what he thought about semiconductors, after all, this is a bald eagle.
If it attracts the attention of the bald eagle, the loss outweighs the gain.
Brown nodded and did not continue talking about this topic, but continued to turn the topic to lithium-sulfur batteries.
"Wang, you are now the world's most profound expert and professor in the field of lithium-sulfur batteries. How much room do you think there is for the current research and development of lithium-sulfur batteries?"
"Professor Brown No, I just got some achievements. I don’t dare to say that I am the professor with the most profound research, so please don’t say this again in the future. There is no end to academic research. Maybe I am in that laboratory now. have developed more In order to develop advanced and more powerful batteries, we should remain academically humble and not be complacent because of temporary achievements."
After Wang Donglai refuted Brown's statement, he continued: "I think lithium. There is still a lot of room for research on sulfur batteries, and its cycle times and cycle efficiency can be improved again. However, in this regard, it is not other problems, but the development of materials science that has hindered the improvement of battery performance. ”
< br>
"Wang, you are really too strict. A product with such a powerful effect and excellent performance actually still has a lot of room for improvement in your mouth. I think in this case, I am afraid that only you can say that."< br>
“It’s hard for me to imagine how much impact the lithium-sulfur battery you developed will have on the world after it is officially launched.”
< br>“Modern society cannot do without energy batteries. From mobile phones to computers to various electrical appliances and equipment, I am afraid that the batteries need to be replaced.”
“If you think about it this way, Wang, what do you think? The technology developed will change the world!"
Brown said to Wang Donglai with a tone of shock and excitement.
After sighing with emotion, Brown asked seriously: "Wang, have you ever thought about coming to Bald Eagle for development? Here, you will have the most advanced instruments and equipment in the world, the most assistance from professors and experts, and abundant "Research funding."
"Believe me, with your reputation and achievements, you can definitely get such support."
"All Bald Eagles, you can choose any college you want to go to. The scale of the laboratory will be the largest among all Bald Eagles, and the staff will be the best. You can express yourself to your heart's content. ability, do research.”
Wang Donglai couldn’t say whether he was surprised or not by Brown’s invitation at this moment.
In fact, he has already been immune.
Wang Donglai also knows the picture outlined by Brown. In fact, Wang Donglai knows the application prospects of lithium-sulfur batteries better than anyone else.
This is a trillion-dollar market.
As long as the market proves lithium-sulfur batteries, they will sweep away many batteries on the market.
The only limitation is that the cost is a bit high, and the market share will not be achieved in the first time.
Only when the scale increases and costs come down can we occupy more markets.
Shaking his head, Wang Donglai directly rejected Brown's invitation.
“I have stayed in China since I was born, and I have long been accustomed to the environment and atmosphere there. If I were asked to change the environment, I may not be able to achieve results. As the saying goes, science has no National boundaries, I think where I conduct academic research is of great significance to all mankind. "They are all the same."
"Professor Brown, do you think I am right?"
Using the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son, Wang Donglai brought out the favorite of the West. "Science has no borders" was the first to say it, and Brown was immediately stunned.
It took a long time for Brown to react and said with some reluctance: "Wang, you are right, but I am still very sorry. If you were doing research on bald eagles, I would rather be a little Technician.”
When Wang Donglai heard this, he smiled and said nothing. (End of this chapter)
