Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 973: Stanley's "Run with Time" (2/5)

Shuwulou, the latest chapter of the black technology system of Xueba will be updated as soon as possible!

Although lithium-air batteries have not yet been born, this dawn is about to come out, but it has blinded many people's eyes. Especially when an eighth magnitude earthquake hit the industry, the academic community was also affected.

Some exclaimed inconceivably, and some were indifferent.

Some people are ecstatic, and naturally some people regret their feet.

It is said that it is related to billions of scientific research funds, and it is also related to whether countless doctoral and master students can successfully complete their thesis.

After all, many projects related to lithium air batteries have been cut or even directly cut off. Many doctoral tutors in this direction have not had a good life themselves, let alone the students they bring ...

North American Materials Science Spring Festival in downtown Boston, Massachusetts.

Daniels from the materials science community from all over the world gather here.

If nothing else, the star at this spring conference should belong to the research of molybdenum disulfide monolayer material that has been funded by several companies such as Microsoft and Intel. Prior to this, this material was generally regarded as aside from Materials of choice for the future semiconductor industry beyond silicon carbide.

It is clear, however, that accidents have now occurred.

The heat of lithium air batteries is better than everything.

At the first report meeting of the Spring Festival, Professor Stanley, wearing a tuxedo, took the podium to announce the arrival of the lithium-air battery era with an impassioned tone, and how his cage-like carbon molecular materials are so powerful ...

It is for this reason that this year's Spring Festival of Materials Science almost became popular in the first game of the opening.

For those colleagues who discarded their shoes on the stage and even shot up their sleeves, the guy's face was so arrogant that it was too bad!

Although it did not fight, the whole report was still clashing.

Even when many laboratories have completed the repetition of experiments, competitors from all walks of life still rushed wildly, mad at the living target of Professor Stanley.

For example, Dr. Curtis from Argonne National Laboratory.

In collaboration with Professor Amin Salehi-Khojin of the University of Illinois at Chicago, they successfully found a revolutionary method to complete a lithium-air battery that can achieve up to 700 charge-discharge cycles in the air.

After the lithium dendrite problem was resolved, they tried to increase this number to 900 times. Until now, this number has been difficult to advance to 1,000 times.

If it wasn't for the birth of this cage-like carbon molecule, this original "bright future" research had been caught in the dilemma of being cut off, and it might be him who stood on the stage pretending to be forced!

Breaking people's wealth is like killing parents. Even the usual gentleman Professor Curtis, at the moment, was red-eyed. He tried his best to ask questions from his cage-like carbon molecule. Something went wrong.

Of course, even his own heart knew that his behavior was just a dying struggle ...

The evening banquet was held in a five-star hotel next to the venue.

Wearing a tall tuxedo, Prof. Stanley made his hair smooth and shiny, with a proud smile on his face, toasting the scholars, colleagues and representatives of the industry who took the initiative to talk with him. And exchange business cards.

At previous reports, he was out of the limelight.

Because Lu Zhou did not attend the meeting, as the first discoverer of the material, he logically became the focus of all sights.

Even if it is set on fire by fellow scholars, what about it?

Peer is always the enemy.

The big bosses who really need to pay well are the big bosses who are waving banknotes. Only they can pay for their research. Those colleagues will at most only show sympathy when he fails, and then don't know how to laugh at him on the ground.

In fact, up to now, Professor Stanley has wanted to open.

After all, if you think about it, apart from being humiliated by the Chinese man named Lu Zhou, I do n’t seem to have suffered any great losses.

patent?

That thing was originally an Exxon Mobil thing. After signing the R & D agreement, the benefits it enjoyed were quite limited, at most it was a point bonus, and this was the case with large enterprises.

And ExxonMobil's backing relationship?

Reputation in industry?

He has suffered enough in the past six years, but now he has regained his reputation in the eyes of major companies, and his status seems to have gone further than before.

So what does this matter?

Listening to the compliments of people, watching the people who had distanced themselves from crawling back and licking themselves, Stanley's heart was indescribable joy.

The head of the Department of Chemistry at MIT, an old professor who had worked with him in the field of batteries, firmly held his right hand and said enthusiastically.

"Congratulations, Professor Stanley! After the popularization of lithium air batteries, the Nobel Prize Committee will definitely consider this landmark discovery and present you and Professor Lu the first Nobel Prize in the field of battery ... Don't consider coming to MIT? We can provide the best experimental environment for your new subject! I guarantee you will be satisfied. "

Hearing Professor Lu's name, Professor Stanley's eyebrows twitched reflexively.

However, after all, it is the old fox that has been playing in the academic world for so many years.

Although the wound in his heart seemed to be ripped a bit, he quickly controlled his emotions and shook his hand with an old friend who had just been connected and had the necessary necessary to continue to make friends, euphemistically.

"Thank you for your kindness ... but Binghamton University is preparing to nominate me as the head of the chemistry department, and the laboratory is also being relocated ... I am not planning to toss anymore in the short term."

Although there are some regrets, there is really no way to open up better conditions on my side, and I can't give up my position, right?

He nodded expressing understanding. The head of the Department of Chemistry at MIT released his right hand and said with a pity.

"I understand, after all, for our students, a stable environment is more important than anything, and no one likes to toss around everywhere ... but if you want to come to MIT in the future, please contact me."

Stanley raised his forehead slightly and nodded slightly.

"for sure."

If usual, he would certainly not speak so eloquently to the head of the Department of Chemistry of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After all, this big man, while serving as the head of the department, is also a permanent member of the American Chemical Society.

But now, his own coffee is not lower than him, naturally there is no need to whisper.

While Professor Stanley was intoxicated with the feeling of being the focus of the entire banquet, a dusty figure quickly walked into the banquet hall and looked around the entire venue, and kept thinking about Stanley's side. come.

After looking at this person, Stanley froze slightly, and said in surprise.

"Woods? My dear friend, how did you ... become like this."

It has not been seen in six years. The man in front of him is far from the sharp-eyed and powerful man in his impression, replaced by wrinkles engraved on his cheeks, and aging and hesitation.

"Something happened," took a deep breath, and Woods stared at Professor Stanley's eyes. "Listen, although there was some misunderstanding between us before, and you cut off your subject, but now-"

"Stop," Professor Stanley, who had a premonition of what this guy might have said, hurriedly interrupted him. "Let's just say, what do you want to do?"

"ExxonMobil wants you to come back," Woods said sincerely. "You are the inventor of the cage-like carbon molecule. We all know that this honor belongs to you, not most of it is shared by the Chinese. .We need a compound with a similar function, at least that which bypasses their patent ... "

After listening to Woods's description, Professor Stanley was silent for a while, then suddenly sighed.

"Give up, Woods. I know you are unwilling, but we are not his opponents."

Unexpectedly, he would say such a thing, Woods took a moment's notice, and said anxiously.

"Do you just look at them like this and ride on our heads all the time? Control the future of our energy lifeline? Immediately, the nuclear power plant in California is about to be built, and the lithium air battery market will win a blowout! Everyone wants Cleaner and cheaper energy is used, but how many people thought that the drop in oil prices would make countless American households unemployed! If we can't master the patent of lithium air batteries, we have no room to fight back! "

Let countless American families unemployed ...

Aren't you the greedy capitalists?

Of course, this sentence just murmured in Stanley's heart, and of course he couldn't say it to the potential gold master in person.

With a slight cough, Professor Stanley straightened his face and looked at the emotional Woods seriously, and continued.

"Listen, I understand your mood, Mr. Woods, but what can we do now in this situation? The patent law says that the expedient attribution of patents is in black and white ~ www.readwn.com ~ unless you have a way Convince Lu Zhou to sell you the patent, otherwise I suggest you still ... want something fun. "

"Not to mention you, I'm doing fine now, let it pass for the past six years. At least what belongs to me, he didn't take it very well. As for asking me if I hate it, a few days ago I was so gritted that I wanted to go to Huaguo with a gun and broke him, but now ... "

"I already want to drive."

Not just trying to drive.

It's also because Stanley is really scared.

He didn't know if Lu Zhou counted everything that happened today, but the only thing he knew was that his academic career had stagnated for six years because of that cunning Chinese.

Now it's hard to get over his head, and relying on the latest research results of that guy, he finally works, and he really doesn't want to go against that guy anymore.

After all, he is not young.

Delayed another six years, maybe I have to wait in the coffin!

Shrugging his shoulders, looking at the sluggish Woods, Professor Stanley said comfortably.

"... As for the unemployment rate or something, that's a question for Captain Hill masters to think about, not us."

Woods stared at Stanley patted his shoulder, then turned around and left, turned into the next circle, and talked with the bulls in the field.

So I stood for a long time with stunned eyes.

Suddenly, his shoulders moved, and he stared slightly down at the floor.

As if thinking of something, between the dry lips, chewing a few words repeatedly.

"Capitol Hill……"

"That's a question for Captain Hill masters to think about ..."

"Yeah, why didn't I think of it!"
