I've been reborn, who still chases the school hunk?

After all, Lu Xuanxin can conduct in-depth research in Fengfeng Group and apply for funds from Wang Wanlin to support his scientific research projects. Without external disturbances, scientific research may go more smoothly.

But Lu Xuanxin has her own goals and plans, and she will not change her direction just because of Wang Wanlin or Fengfeng Group. Although being praised is a good thing, Lu Xuanxin decided to close the Weibo page and stop reading these comments.

Lu Xuanxin walked out of the dormitory, headed towards the science and technology building, and came to her own studio.

When she opened the door, she found that her three roommates had already arrived, but they were not programming, but gathered in front of a computer to discuss something. When they saw Lu Xuanxin come in, they all raised their heads and looked at her in unison.

"Sister Xuanxin! I heard that Wang Wanlin really offered you an annual salary of two million?" Jiang Xianling's eyes flashed with excitement, and she looked at Lu Xuanxin with a gossipy look on her face.

Lu Xuanxin nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes."

"Wow! Sister Xuanxin, you are so awesome!" The fifth Yu'e's eyes were full of envy, as if she had already seen Lu Xuanxin becoming a winner in life.

"Then what are you waiting for? Two million annual salary! How tempting!" Diwu Yu'e added, with a hint of regret in her eyes, as if the money did not fall into her head.

"Not only that, Sister Xuanxin also gets 1% of the company's equity dividends, which is the big deal! It's just a matter of time before you become a multi-millionaire or even a billionaire!" Jiang Xianling added excitedly, as if she had already seen the day when Lu Xuanxin would become a wealthy woman.

Although Lan Congmin didn't say anything, his eyes were filled with complex emotions and it was obvious that he was not calm inside.

Lu Xuanxin looked at the three of them and said helplessly, "Although the annual salary of two million is tempting, once you accept it, you have to work for the other party. What's the point? I have obtained an investment of five million from President Wang to support our laboratory. Isn't this better?"

Jiang Xianling, Diwu Yu'e and Lan Congmin were all stunned. They obviously didn't expect Lu Xuanxin to have such an idea.

"Sister, you are so powerful now? You can easily invest millions of dollars? This is too scary!" Jiang Xianling said in surprise.

"Five million! How can we spend so much money in our small studio with only a few people? Does Mr. Wang have so much money that he has no place to spend it?" Diwu Yu'e couldn't believe her ears.

Lu Xuanxin looked at them calmly and said, "Don't underestimate yourselves. This is President Wang's investment in our laboratory, not directly given to individuals. He is very optimistic about the future of our studio and trusts me very much, so he decided to invest."

After hearing Lu Xuanxin's words, Diwu Yu'e and Jiang Xianling fell into deep thought.

"Are you talking about the honeycomb system?" Jiang Xianling asked.

"That's right. If the honeycomb system is successful, it will bring about tremendous changes to the express delivery industry!" The Fifth Yu'e also nodded in agreement.

"Okay! You three stop being lazy! Hurry up and work on programming! Wang Wanlin's investment this time is a rare opportunity. I will use this money to pay you. But you have to be worthy of this salary and work hard!" Lu Xuanxin said seriously.

"I will also evaluate your programming progress regularly. If I find that you are lazy or progressing slowly, I will deduct your salary!" Lu Xuanxin added.

“You are such a capitalist!”

"Vampire!" Jiang Xianling and Diwu Yu'e complained in unison, but with a joking smile on their faces.

"Hehe! Although we are sisters, we still have to be clear about business matters. If we don't work hard, what if President Wang withdraws his investment?" Lu Xuanxin responded with a smile.

Lu Xuanxin's words were actually meant to dispel Lan Congmin's doubts. She knew that the more serious she acted, the more comfortable Lan Congmin would feel when she accepted the money. Otherwise, if Lan Congmin accepted it reluctantly, she would definitely feel inferior.

"Stop talking and start programming! Our goal today is to build the underlying logic of this artificial intelligence system so that humans and machines can interact smoothly!" Lu Xuanxin urged.

"Okay! We'll listen to Sister Xuanxin!" Jiang Xianling and Diwu Yu'e responded with a smile, and Lan Congmin nodded without saying anything. So the three of them sat around the computer and started working.

Lu Xuanxin knew that people who were good at mathematics could easily learn programming and logical languages. She was very pleased to see that the three girls were able to complete the tasks she assigned.

Although the programming work can also be done by outsourced programmers, this time the core program of artificial intelligence was written by her personally. This is the key to the entire experiment, and she does not want to leak this secret.

Not long after, Lu Xuanxin left the room because Academician Yuan's laboratory resumed work today and she needed to go over and take a look.

When she arrived at Academician Yuan's laboratory, she saw Bai Xiaoyu and Zhang Ruchang reading documents inside. When they saw her come in, they both looked up at her. Bai Xiaoyu's eyes were full of envy.

"Junior Lu Xuanxin, I saw on the news this morning that Chairman Wang wanted to hire you with an annual salary of two million. Why don't you go?" Bai Xiaoyu asked.

"Yes!" Zhang Ruchang also said enviously: "If it were me, I would definitely agree. Although I have graduated with a doctorate, I can only be a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, or a lecturer at an ordinary university. After a few years, the lecturer's job will be over. Two million a year salary, how tempting!"

Lu Xuanxin smiled and said, "I think we shouldn't be so hasty in making decisions about life. Although money is important, it's not the only goal I pursue, and I'm not short of money."

"What a brilliant idea!" Zhang Ruchang praised, "Brother, your spiritual realm is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people!"

"Indeed!" Bai Xiaoyu also nodded in agreement.

Lu Xuanxin asked Bai Xiaoyu again: "Brother, what did the instructor say is our next topic?"

"I know a little bit about it. It seems to be related to carbon nanomaterials, but I'm not sure which category it is. My supervisor has already applied for a national scientific research fund, and I think there will be results soon." Bai Xiaoyu replied.

"Oh?" Lu Xuanxin was slightly surprised.

"It's a conductive coating." Zhang Ruchang suddenly interrupted, "I heard my instructor mention the conductive coating related to lithium-ion batteries."

Lithium-ion battery? When Lu Xuanxin heard this word, her heart moved slightly. She remembered the damaged battery she found in the system before, but she didn't have the ability to handle such ultra-high-tech things at that time, so she didn't take it out.

If it is lost, the consequences will be disastrous.

Although she still couldn't handle the battery now, she could start researching it when she had her own secret laboratory and enough knowledge. This idea flashed through her mind.

Soon, Yu Mingming walked into the laboratory with some books.

As soon as he entered the door, he caught a glimpse of Lu Xuanxin and others behind his glasses. He gently pushed his glasses down, looked towards Lu Xuanxin deliberately, and then nodded.

Not long after, Academician Yuan also came to the laboratory. Seeing that everyone was there, he smiled with satisfaction and said to everyone, "It's great that everyone is here!"

Then, his eyes fell on Lu Xuanxin in particular, and he said to her with a smile: "Xuanxin, I was planning to invite you to the dance, but I didn't expect you to be able to negotiate such a big deal. You are really amazing! Deputy General Manager Wu invited you, but you refused. I thought it was because the salary was not high enough. But General Manager Wang offered an annual salary of two million, but you still refused. You are really ambitious!"

Lu Xuanxin felt a little embarrassed by the compliment. She smiled and said to Academician Yuan: "Professor, you are too kind..."

"Haha!" Academician Yuan was amused by her words.

Bai Xiaoyu and others beside him were all very surprised. Bai Xiaoyu asked Lu Xuanxin curiously: "Did Deputy General Manager Wu invite you as well?"

"Are you talking about Deputy General Manager Wu of China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation?" Zhang Ruchang asked in surprise.

"Yes." Academician Yuan answered with a smile, and then he said to Bai Xiaoyu and Zhang Ruchang: "Maybe your junior sister can become a chief engineer in the future."

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoyu and the other two were very envious of Lu Xuanxin for having such an opportunity. Bai Xiaoyu then asked, "Xiaoxuemei, since you are not going to CASIC and Fengfeng Group has also rejected you, what are your plans after graduation?"

Lu Xuanxin shrugged and said with a smile: "I don't want to limit my future now. I believe there will be more opportunities waiting for me in the future!"

After hearing her words, Yu Mingming and others expressed their admiration.

Academician Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let me assign the tasks for today's experiment!" Everyone looked at Academician Yuan.

"The research funding for lithium battery conductive coatings that I applied for previously has been approved. From now on, we will devote all our efforts to the research of this topic." Everyone was very excited to hear this good news.

Academician Yuan added: "This is a national-level project with sufficient funding. I hope everyone can go all out!"

"Yes!" everyone answered in unison.

Academician Yuan looked at Lu Xuanxin and asked seriously, "Lu Xuanxin, do you want to continue to analyze the data mathematically and study functional theory, or do you plan to do the experiment yourself?"

Lu Xuanxin answered without hesitation: "I want to do the experiment myself! After all, experiments are the only way to the future. Although I am a theoretical researcher, experiments can help me better connect theory to practice."

After listening to this, Academician Yuan nodded in agreement and began to assign today's research tasks.

After the distribution was completed, Academician Yuan began to explain the relevant knowledge of lithium batteries in detail.

"What we are studying is to prepare for the future development of lithium iron phosphate batteries. This is a cutting-edge technology that will have a profound impact on the future battery industry. Our current research focus is on conductive coatings. In the lithium battery industry, conductive coatings usually refer to a conductive layer coated on the surface of the positive electrode current collector, that is, aluminum foil. The coated aluminum foil is called pre-coated aluminum foil or simply coated aluminum foil."

"We need to develop a perfect conductive coating and test its effect on battery performance."

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoyu and Zhang Ruchang looked at each other, looking a little confused.

Yu Mingming adjusted his glasses and asked in confusion: "Professor, we have never studied batteries before, and aren't lithium batteries in the field of chemistry? We don't know how to make lithium batteries, let alone such a difficult field as lithium iron phosphate batteries. How...how do we start?"

Academician Yuan responded with a smile: “I know you will think so.”

He explained: "This time we have sufficient funding, and lithium iron phosphate batteries without conductive coating and with ordinary conductive coating are delivered to us every day for our experiments. We only need to conduct coating experiments on the materials, collect data, compare the differences, and then find the best formula."

"My current research focuses on carbon nanomaterials and graphene. The main goal of this conductive coating is to reduce the internal resistance of the battery and inhibit the increase in dynamic internal resistance during the charge and discharge cycle; improve the consistency of the battery pack and reduce the cost of the battery pack; enhance the adhesion between the active material and the current collector and reduce the manufacturing cost of the pole piece; reduce polarization, improve rate performance, and reduce thermal effects; prevent the corrosion of the electrolyte to the current collector; and thus comprehensively extend the service life of the battery."

After listening to Academician Yuan’s explanation, Lu Xuanxin and others also looked troubled. This is indeed a daunting task!

Academician Yuan said seriously: "So you should not only consider the performance of the battery, but also the cost and the possibility of subsequent large-scale mass production. Otherwise, the battery made only in the laboratory will not have much practical significance."
