Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

I don't know why, at the moment when he heard this sentence, Han Mengqi suddenly had an urge to bite people. Fiction.

Just talk about her height, the questioning tone is really irritating!

If it was just because of the master ...

She swears that she must ...

for sure……

Ahhh, anyway, it's mad!

Angrily inspiring the cheek gang, Han Mengqi buried her mouth into the scarf unhappyly, never saying a word along the way, after plugging the sample box into the hands of the teacher in the laboratory, she walked away without looking back.

Glancing at the away trainee, Yang Xu, who was standing nearby, looked at Lu Zhou with a strange look.

"Do you know each other?"

Regarding Han Mengqi's changes, Lu Zhou was also inexplicable. After hearing Yang Xu's question, he answered briefly: "Students who have been with me before."

Hearing this sentence, Yang Xu's expression instantly understood.

Although Lu Zhou did not understand at all, what did this guy understand?

"Okay, stop talking nonsense," coughed slightly, Lu Zhou brought the topic back on track, "tell me how the experiment went?"

Yang Xu: "The experiment was very successful. When the two layers of graphene were stacked together, when the angle of rotation was close to 1.1 ° and the temperature reached 1.7k, they would exhibit unconventional superconductivity. According to the research team there, We call this angle 'Magic Horn'. "

Lu Zhou's eyebrows were raised with interest: "Imaginative names."

"Yes, it is full of imagination, and this research result is as full of imagination as its name," Yang Xu said with a smile. "Compared with metal superconducting materials such as copper oxides, which have a difficult to adjust structure, In other words, carbon nanomaterials are structurally more malleable, and that means endless possibilities. "

Lu Zhou said with a smile: "It also means thousands of experiments?"

Yang Xu reluctantly said: "Any time an experiment is necessary."

In the field of superconductivity, "room temperature" is higher than "high temperature". Because the temperature condition of the latter is 77k (about -196 degrees Celsius), the temperature condition of the former must be at least 273k or more.

In contrast, a temperature of 1.7k is not considered excellent, even far worse than t = 35k for lanthanum-barium-copper-oxygen compounds. Not to mention the black technology in those laboratories with t> 100k.

However, if one simply considers a technology "useless" because it cannot be industrialized, the scientific understanding may be too superficial.

It is no exaggeration to say that 99% of the research results are useless.

But without this 99% accumulation, it would not be possible to have a final 1% breakthrough.

After briefly introducing the experimental results, Yang Xu continued to talk about the next plan.

"... Our next goal is to find an appropriate method to increase the superconducting temperature of graphene materials to 77k. Of course, this is a long-term goal, and it may be difficult to achieve it in the short term."

Lu Zhou thought about it and said.

"The 77k goal is too conservative, we can set it directly at 100k."

The system has said that 100k can be done, it is a pity that this clue is not used.

With a helpless expression on Lu Zhou's optimism, Yang Xu continued.

"Ok, whether it is 77k or 100k, there is a problem involved now. If this superconducting material can be realized, this technology has limited industrial application prospects ... whether anyone is interested in this technology, it will Generate patents. "

Later, Yang Xu did not continue to say, but the meaning was already clear.

When it comes to patent issues, collaborative research is often less pure.

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Zhou asked.

"What is Professor Herrero's opinion?"

Yang Xu: "According to rumors when I was a postdoc at MIT, Professor Herrero is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune. From the signature of his previous papers, he rarely competes with students for experimental results. , Even willing to train those he thinks have potential. "

Lu Zhou: "What do you mean?"

Yang Xu shrugged: "He will most likely think that this technology should be used equally by everyone."

As at home, there are professors who are less enthusiastic about patent protection and are simply doing research.

Most of their funding comes from research funds funded by various countries, not enterprises. With the salaries of professors already able to cover living expenses, they are not particularly keen to turn research results into patents.

After thinking for a while, Lu Zhou said.

"I think the price is not enough. If I am willing to pay 10 million US dollars for scientific research, I believe he will reconsider this issue."

Hearing ten million US dollars, Yang Xu immediately hesitated.

Indeed, no scholar thinks that too much money, and this 10 million US dollars is indeed an undeniable number.

At least as far as the United States is concerned, even if it is a Nobel Prize scholar, it is definitely not an easy task to apply for this funding from a scientific research fund.

After swallowing, Yang Xu asked with some difficulty: "Is it worth it?"

Even if 100k superconducting materials are really developed, most of them will not sell for this price.

After all, superconducting materials do not have unlimited market applications like battery materials, and they are irreplaceable. The end result is very likely that even if patent protection is done, it is largely equivalent to charity ...

Lu Zhou shook his head: "Whether it's worth it, I need this technology, and I need related patents. As for why I will tell you later. As for now, you don't need to care if it is worth it, you just need to remember, even It's a loss of money and we have to do it. "

Yang Xu nodded: "Well ... if he still doesn't agree?"

Lu Zhou: "Then 20 million."

Yang Xu: "..."

mmp ...

He almost forgot that his boss was a master of money.

After a pause, Lu Zhou continued: "My bottom line is 20 million US dollars. If his answer is still rejected, we can only leave them alone, or find a willing team to work together ... I beg you. "

Yang Xu nodded and said seriously: "I will convey your meaning correctly."

Looking at Yang Xu, Lu Zhou nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered something and said.

"By the way, when it comes to money, I seem to have said that a year-end award will be issued before I return."

Upon hearing this sentence, Yang Xu's face suddenly smiled: "Boss, I finally waited for your sentence. If you don't mention it again, I'm going to ask for everyone."

Including several other researchers in the laboratory, they also raised their ears and listened. After all, there is no question about how much money the New Year sends.

"That said, you work so hard every day, can I hack your bonus?" Lu Zhou cleared his throat and said with a smile, "I will go to the finance department in a while and explain the bonus, I promise this year Everyone can have a happy new year. "

Yang Xu grinned, "Boss, can you spoil my bonus? Just talk about it."

Lu Zhou smiled and asked, "How do you know?"

Yang Xu: "Just say how many months' salary is enough!"

Lu Zhou shook his head: "This is too accurate ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ I'll tell you a few digits, and you can guess how much."

Yang Xu: "How many?"

Lu Zhou thought for a while: "Seven figures are definitely available."

Yang Xu froze for a moment.

Seven……

Seven digits?

His original expectation was about three or four months' salary.

It turned out that the generosity of the boss was beyond his expectations.

"This year, it's been hard," looking at Yang Xu who was still there, Lu Zhou smiled and patted his shoulder. "Next year, please, please!"

(I ask for a monthly pass ~)
