Chapter 138 Applying for a Patent
Ning Chen gave Yuan Shuai a general understanding of their topic. Although the topic itself is not complicated, it still has certain research value for undergraduates.
"Yes, once this project comes to fruition, the graduation project will be much easier."
After a while, the grilled fish ordered by Ning Chen was served, and he ate the grilled fish. , the former commander couldn't help but asked:
"Ning Chen, what on earth did you come to see me for today?"
The former commander knew that Ning Chen would definitely not find him out for no reason. Moreover, Ning Chen only found him. Maybe there was some secret matter that he wanted to discuss with him.
"Commander Yuan, are you still a tutor now?"
"Well, you are still tutoring a few students now. What's wrong?"
"I was tutoring before A student I met also wants to take math classes. I don’t have time to teach him now, so I wanted to ask you if it’s convenient.”
Hearing that Ning Chen wanted to take over tutoring, Yuan Shuai naturally responded. Very welcome.
"As long as our schedules match up, there will be no problem. But Ning Chen, is this why you want to come out to me?"
The commander-in-chief felt that this kind of thing was not worthy of Ning Chen calling him Come out, and if the introduction is really successful, the former commander will owe Ning Chen a favor.
"Because I had been taking care of this student before, but then I was too busy and couldn't teach him. The parents of that student were also very good to me. I feel quite embarrassed. If you If you can take care of this student, you are doing me a favor."
Hearing what Ning Chen said, the former commander also felt that he could understand Ning Chen.
"No problem, then I'll give it a try. Can I ask, how much is the tuition for this class?"
"300 yuan for one and a half hours." Ning Chen said.
Hearing this number, Yuan Shuai almost spit out the food in his mouth.
"One and a half hours... 300 yuan? Is that much?"
You know, among the students that Yuan Shuai currently has, the highest tuition fee is only one and a half hours It’s only 150 yuan.
This was a relatively normal trend in the tutoring industry for college students back then.
"Well, I've already negotiated the price with the parents, so you don't have to worry about it. Of course, whether it can work out in the end depends on how well the students cooperate with you and whether they can get along with you."
"Okay, I You must prepare carefully.”
Next, Ning Chen gave the former coach a general introduction to Xu Yang, including Xu Yang’s achievements, weak links, personality characteristics, etc.
Ning Chen even told Yuan Shuai about Xu Yang’s hobbies, which also helped Yuan Shuai get acquainted with Xu Yang better.
"If there is no problem, I will forward your contact information to the parents of the students."
"Okay, if this class is completed, I will treat you to dinner."
"Haha, no problem."
After returning to the laboratory, Ning Chen contacted the former commander The method was passed to Zhou Li, and he briefly introduced the basic information of the original commander.
Shuai Yuan’s grades are among the best in the college and he has a lot of experience as a tutor. Zhou Li learned about Yuan Shuai’s basic information and expressed her satisfaction.
“Well, Teacher Ning introduced me, I’m sure I can rest assured, and he’s also your roommate, so this is definitely the best.”
"Then Zhou Li, please set a time first and let him try it out first. Of course, whether it's suitable in the end depends on Yangyang's ideas."
The most Ning Chen can do is give it to the former commander. Provided with this opportunity, the rest is up to the original coach to fight for.
However, Ning Chen still has great confidence in the former commander. The former commander's ability is not bad, and more importantly, the former commander is very attentive to his work, which is very commendable.
After handling this matter, Ning Chen continued to conduct experiments with Xu Zhou and others.
A few days later, Ning Chen received a message from Zhou Li. "Teacher Ning, thank you for introducing Teacher Yuan here. Yangyang thinks Teacher Yuan's lectures are also good. Although he is a little worse than you, Yangyang is also willing to learn from Teacher Yuan. I also think this teacher is very good. , giving people a very real feeling, and being your roommate makes us feel at ease.”
Ning Chen also felt very happy when he learned that the former commander's trial lecture was successful.
"Well, the most important thing is that Yangyang thinks it's okay. I wish Yangyang's grades can go further and he can get into the school of his dreams in the college entrance examination."
After a while, the former commander also gave Ning Chen sent a message.
"Ning Chen, let me tell you the good news. My trial lecture was successful, and the parent paid me for the first class."
"Well, she just told me about this. Congratulations."
"Thank you for the introduction. I will treat you to dinner another day!"
"Okay. , let’s make an appointment another day.”
Ning Chen thought, even if Xu Yang only takes one class a week, the former commander can earn an extra 1,200 yuan a month.
This amount of money is not small for Yuan Shuai, it is enough for Yuan Shuai's living expenses for one month.
Moreover, this was based on the former commander's personal labor income, which was easier for him to accept than Ning Chen directly helping the former commander.
……
After Ning Chen reinvested his energy in the research of lithium battery anode materials, the progress of this project became faster.
In the end, the project team successfully developed a three-dimensional porous silicon-carbon composite material, and this material also performed very well in the negative electrode of lithium batteries.
The biggest feature of this negative electrode material is that there is almost no attenuation of battery capacity during the current cycle.
Of course, because the synthesis of this material is more difficult, the application cost will be higher.
After completing these studies, Xu Zhou first found a patent agent he knew and applied for patents for their two results.
According to the previous agreement with Ning Chen, Xuzhou and Ning Chen each held 50% ownership of each patent.
The income from these two patents will be equally divided between Xu Zhou and Ning Chen.
Learning that Xu Zhou, Ning Chen and others had completed the research on the project, Xu Shou flew from Shenzhen City to Shengzhou again and came to the Materials Laboratory of Shengzhou University.
"Teacher Xu, Ning Chen, we meet again."
This time, Xu Shou still looked good, because during this period, Piatti's business situation had improved a bit, Xu Shou The performance is also getting better and better.
During this period, Xu Shou learned that Ning Chen published three papers in "Nature", and Xu Shou also understood why Xu Zhou valued a student so much.
There are probably only a handful of geniuses like Ning Chen in the world.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Xu Zhou and Ning Chen introduced their experimental results to Xu Shou.
"Manager Xu, this time we have two main results, which are a one-dimensional porous silicon-carbon composite material and a three-dimensional porous silicon-carbon composite material..."
Listen to Xu Zhou Following Ning Chen’s introduction, Xu Shou quickly understood the characteristics and advantages of these two anode materials.
"Teacher Xu, Ning Chen, these two anode materials sound to have very excellent performance. Compared with the previous anode materials, their battery energy density and battery life have been greatly improved. Amplitude. ”
“Yes, you can think that this is a new generation of silicon-based lithium battery anode materials. From a structural perspective, they are completely different from the previous generation of silicon-based lithium battery anode materials. . ”
In the synthesis process of these two materials, Xu Zhou and Ning Chen added more cutting-edge technologies of nanomaterials to solve many problems that were not solved by the previous generation of silicon-based materials.
