From a university student to a chief academician

Chapter 187 Xia Country No. 3 Worldwide No. 107 Winner

North America, MIT!

You Lin is a tenured professor of materials science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, an academician of the North American National Academy of Sciences, an internationally renowned materials scientist, and a winner of the Robert Franklin Meyer Award.

The Robert Franklin Meyer Award is one of the highest awards in the field of international materials science.

It is only one level away from the Nobel Prize in Physics and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Almost all scholars who can win the Robert Franklin Meyer Award are academicians.

After Yulin got up early in the morning, she walked into the study with a cup of coffee, put the coffee in her hand on the table, sat on the chair behind the desk, and turned on the laptop in front of her.

This is what Yulin does every day.

Every morning, spend half an hour browsing arxiv, see wonderful papers, and spend more time reading and researching carefully.

Put your hand on the mouse, move the mouse, open the material section on arxiv, and pull down the progress bar of the web page.

Seeing an interesting title, Yulin will stop and click to view it.

After reading, exit and continue to read other papers.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Yulin stopped her hand movements: "Fusion of fullerene and non-fullerene?"

You Lin was surprised: "Fullerene and non-fullerene can be fused?"

As an internationally renowned materials scientist, she has also studied the fusion of fullerenes and non-fullerenes.

But after discovering that they couldn't fuse, Yulin gave up.

However, today, Yu Lin actually saw someone saying that fullerenes and non-fullerenes can be fused.

This made Yulin both surprised and curious.

Yu Lin was puzzled: "It can't be a headline party!"

There are a lot of title parties on arxiv, and many papers often have specious titles in order to attract attention.

Yulin once saw many headline parties on arxiv.

For example, neutrino anti-nuclear weapons, click on it and find that it is the study of neutrino-matter interaction.

Use quantum tokens for digital signatures. After clicking in, I found that it is indeed a paper digitally signed by quantum tokens, but the text of the paper is telling a myth.

Although Yulin felt that the fusion of fullerene and non-fullerene was like a title party.

But curiosity killed the cat.

Yulin couldn't help but click in.

"Ye Fei?" You Lin was taken aback when she saw the author of the paper: "Ye Fei who discovered C72 fullerene in Xia Kingdom?"

Ye Fei is now well-known in the world. Most people in the mathematics, computer, blockchain, material, physics and chemistry circles know Ye Fei.

Whoever let Ye Fei enter a field will do earth-shattering things, it is difficult for Ye Fei not to know.

You Lin thought: "If it's Ye Fei, it's really possible to fuse fullerenes and non-fullerenes."

After speaking, she looked at the summary.

"Fusion of C72 fullerene derivative receptor and non-fullerene small molecule receptor?"

"C72 fullerene?" You Lin smiled bitterly in her heart: "If it's C72 fullerene, I can't verify it."

Xiaguo's C72 fullerene is not for sale, and no one outside can obtain C72 fullerene.

Then, it is impossible to verify the fusion of C72 fullerene derivative receptors and non-fullerene small molecule receptors.

But Yulin still read the text.

After reading it, Yu Lin frowned and thought, "According to what he wrote in his paper, can the C72 fullerene derivative receptor really fuse with the non-fullerene small molecule receptor?"

"But he wrote all this paper. After the paper was published in a journal, the staff of the journal couldn't verify it because they didn't have C72 fullerene, so they had to find Ye Fei in person and ask Ye Fei to verify it for the journal staff. "

"So, I can only wait for the result."

"When the results come out, I will know whether C72 fullerenes and non-fullerenes can fuse."

Kyoto, Fullerene Research Institute, rest area!

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, it is the rest time of the institute.

Many scientific researchers will sit and drink tea and chat together in the rest area.

Ye Fei sat with Professor Gao, with tea and pastries in front of them.

Professor Gao said: "Have you published your paper on the fusion of C72 fullerenes and non-fullerenes?"

"En!" Ye Fei nodded and said, "It has been published in a natural journal."

The reason why Ye Fei was published in the natural journal is because the scientific journal belongs to Beili.

In addition, C72 fullerene is not sold externally.

In order to prove the thesis, Ye Fei needs to show the experimental results to the people in the journal.

Then, the journal staff will personally watch Ye Fei's experiment process.

In order to avoid leakage of C72 fullerene, Ye Fei will not publish the paper in scientific journals.

Professor Gao took a sip of the tea in front of him, relieved the teacup and asked: "C72 fullerene is not for sale, you need to show the experimental results!"

"Yes!" Ye Fei nodded: "I will show the experimental results when the people from the natural journals contact me."

Professor Gao shook his head and said with emotion: "C72 fullerene, I don't know what else can be developed!"

"Who knows!" Ye Fei said with a smile, "Anyway, only our country has C72 fullerene, so we can research it to our heart's content."

"Even if the above said that it will be sold to the outside world after five years, we can apply to the above to delay the time for external sales."

"We can sell to foreign countries whenever we want. The initiative of foreign sales lies with us, not in foreign countries."

"Ok!"

Professor Gao asked, "What are you going to study next?"

Ye Feidao: "I want to conduct in-depth research on the fusion of C72 fullerene derivative receptors and non-fullerene small molecule receptors."

Professor Gao asked, "Do you have a direction?"

"Yes!" Ye Fei nodded and said: "In the field of solar energy, because fullerenes and non-fullerenes are fused, they can complement each other, making fullerenes strong in absorbing light, and fullerenes high in stability."

"The materials produced in this way are most suitable for the research and development of solar energy."

"Hmm!" Professor Gao nodded, "It's a very good research direction."

"By the way, how is your mathematics research? I heard you said that you are studying Hilbert's 12th problem."

Ye Fei said: "It's pretty smooth, now it has been proved that one tenth of it has been proved, and it can be proved successful in April next year."

"So fast?" Professor Gao was surprised: "This is Hilbert's 12th problem. Among all Hilbert's problems, the difficulty ranks second, only one level lower than the Riemann Hypothesis, which is the seven major problems of mathematics. .”

The so-called lower level here is not Hilbert's 12th question, which is one level lower than Riemann's conjecture.

But among all Hilbert's problems, the difficulty is one level lower.

As far as all the difficult problems in mathematics are concerned, the difficulty gap between Hilbert's 12th problem and Riemann's conjecture is very large.

The difficulty between them is like the gap between heaven and earth, one to one hundred.

"Hey..." Ye Fei smiled triumphantly: "Who am I? I am Ye Fei. Mathematics is my specialty. Naturally, I study it very quickly."

Professor Gao scolded with a smile: "I'll see how proud you are."

Three days later!
Ye Fei received a message from a natural journal, hoping to demonstrate Ye Fei's research in person.

Ye Fei replied to them, asking their people to come to the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute, and Ye Fei demonstrated his research for them face to face.

Natural journals replied quickly, and will organize a team to arrive at the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute in three days.

Three days later!
VIP Building of Kyoto Graphene Research Institute!
At this moment, in the lobby on the first floor of the VIP building, there are many people standing on the inner, third and outer floors.

Most of the researchers and leaders of the Graphene Research Institute gather here.

In the middle of the hall stood a white electron microscope.

"I heard that Director Ye has developed the fusion of C72 fullerenes and non-fullerenes. This is the first case in the world. The fusion of fullerenes and non-fullerenes, if successful, can create an Better solar panels, which will strengthen our country's research in the field of solar energy."

"It's amazing. First, C72 fullerene was discovered, and lithium battery separator was developed with C72 fullerene, which broke the foreign blockade of lithium battery separator in my country for many years. Now, the fusion of C72 fullerene and non-fullerene has been developed. .”

"Yes, Director Ye is only 27 years old this year. It's amazing to have such achievements at the age of 27."

It is now November of 2028, and Ye Fei has passed his birthday.

So, now Ye Fei is 27 years old.

"When we were 27 years old, we were still studying for Ph.D. Director Ye is 27 years old, and has already developed many world-wide research."

"Let's not compare with Director Ye, we are not comparable, and we are not comparable, we are not worthy."

"..."

The entrance of the Graphene Research Institute!

Ye Fei, Professor Gao, and Academician Fang Shan, the director of the Graphene Research Institute, were waiting at the door while talking.

After a while, three cars stopped at the door, and then a group of people stepped down from them.

The leader was a yellow-skinned middle-aged man in his 40s who was well dressed.

Behind him, followed by three men and two women, two men and one woman were white, and the rest were yellow.

The middle-aged man walked up to Ye Fei and said with a smile, "Hi, Professor Ye!"

Now Ye Fei can be called anything, Professor Ye, Dean Ye, Director Ye.

Anyway, every name is right.

"I am the president of Asia of Nature Publishing Group, Sun Zhenbang!"

As he spoke, Sun Zhenbang held out his hand to shake hands with Ye Fei.

"Hello!" Ye Fei smiled and shook hands with him, and then introduced the two people beside him to Sun Zhenbang, and Sun Zhenbang also introduced the people behind him.

In natural journals, except for Sun Zhenbang, who belongs to the management staff, the rest are all scientific researchers.

It stands to reason that two natural journal researchers are enough.

It's just that some people are curious about Ye Fei's research and want to take a look.

Ye Fei said: "Please come in!"

After speaking, Ye Fei led a group of people to the Graphene Research Institute.

After a long time, they came to the VIP building.

When approaching the VIP building, Ye Fei pointed to the VIP building and said, "I will show you my experimental results here."

"En!" Sun Zhenbang nodded, looked at many people in the VIP building, and said, "Are they all here to watch you show the experimental results?"

"Yes!" Ye Fei nodded.

After speaking, Ye Fei took the lead to let the onlookers out of the way and let them in.

After a while, they walked in.

Ye Fei walked to the electron microscope and pointed to the test tube rack next to the electron microscope stage. There were three test tubes on the test tube rack, all of which were filled with black emulsion.

The two test tubes are respectively labeled with C72 fullerene derivative acceptor, C72 non-fullerene small molecule acceptor and Y6 fused ring non-fullerene acceptor.

Ye Fei looked at the group of people in the Natural Journal, and said: "President Sun, and other researchers, next I will show you how to fuse fullerenes and non-fullerenes."

The crowd nodded.

Ye Fei picked up the C72 fullerene derivative receptor with his left hand, and the C72 non-fullerene small molecule receptor with his right hand, and showed everyone: "These two test tubes, this is the C72 fullerene derivative receptor."

Ye Fei raised the test tube in his left hand.

"This is the C72 non-fullerene small molecule receptor!"

Ye Fei raised the test tube in his right hand again.

"Next, I'll blend the two lotions!"

After speaking, Ye Fei poured the emulsion in the test tube into a vessel on the stage of the electron microscope.

Ye Fei pointed to the window, and said, "Get out of here!"

When the crowd heard Ye Fei's words, they quickly moved out of their way.

When they stepped aside, sunlight streamed in through the window, onto the dishes on the stage of the electron microscope.

Ye Fei nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "The sun is good today."

Immediately, Ye Fei picked up the test tube of the Y6 fused-ring non-fullerene acceptor and said, "This is the Y6 fused-ring non-fullerene acceptor!"

"Then it's time to witness the miracle."

Everyone was full of curiosity, and all the onlookers hooked their necks vigorously, stared wide-eyed, and looked at the stage.

Ye Fei poured the Y6 fused ring non-fullerene acceptor into a vessel on the stage.

All the emulsions seemed to turn on the switch, and they wriggled quickly, and the state was like slightly boiling water, with many tiny bubbles.

But this state stopped after only two seconds, without boiling and tiny bubbles.

Everyone was surprised: "What's going on? Why did it stop?"

Ye Fei put his eyes on the eyepiece and saw the fusion of the C72 fullerene derivative receptor and the C72 non-fullerene small molecule receptor, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After that, he looked up at Sun Zhenbang and said, "Mr. Sun, please!"

Sun Zhenbang said to the people behind him, "Go up and have a look."

Several people behind Sun Zhenbang stepped forward to check.

After a while, the first Caucasian woman who checked out exclaimed, "It turned out to be a success, my God."

After that, the rest of the people also went to check.

After reading it, their expressions were very surprised.

Sun Zhenbang saw them finish watching and asked, "Is there any problem?"

"No problem!" They shook their heads.

Sun Zhenbang looked at Ye Fei and said with a smile: "Professor Ye, your research will cause an international uproar. This is the first case in the world where fullerenes and non-fullerenes are fused."

Ye Fei smiled and said, "My thesis has passed!"

"Of course!" Sun Zhenbang laughed.

A Caucasian woman looked at Ye Fei and asked, "Professor Ye, after you fuse C72 fullerene derivative receptor, C72 non-fullerene small molecule receptor and Y6 fused ring non-fullerene receptor, Have they merged?"

Ye Fei shook his head and said, "It's still the same."

"Huh?" Everyone looked at Ye Fei suspiciously.

What they just saw was Ye Fei's fusion of these three emulsions, nothing else was added.

Ye Fei pointed to the strong sun outside the window, and said, "There is still sunshine!"

"Sunshine?" Everyone was startled, remembering that just now Ye Fei asked them to step aside and let the sunlight shine in.

Ye Feidao: "When the sun shines in, it can accelerate their chemical reaction."

The white woman asked: "My supervisor once fused the C60 fullerene derivative receptor, the C60 non-fullerene small molecule receptor, and the Y6 fused ring non-fullerene receptor, but there was no response. "

"Could it be that you are successful now because of C72 fullerene?"

"That's right!" Ye Fei nodded: "The characteristics of C72 fullerene and C60 fullerene are very different."

"The characteristics that C60 fullerene has, C72 fullerene also has, and the characteristics that C60 fullerene does not have, C72 fullerene still has."

The white woman exclaimed: "My God, this is amazing."

Then, she looked at Ye Fei eagerly and said, "Can I take a little bit of C72 fullerene back? Just a little bit."

"Sorry!" Ye Fei shook his head: "At this stage, C72 fullerene is a confidential item of my research institute and must not be circulated."

"Isn't it okay at all?" The white woman showed a very aggrieved expression.

"Not at all!" Ye Fei shook his head.

"Hey..." The white woman sighed helplessly.

Afterwards, Ye Fei disposed of the experimental items himself, and asked someone to carry away the electron microscope.

Finally, Ye Fei invited Sun Zhenbang and others to have dinner at a well-known private restaurant in Kyoto, accompanied by Professor Gao and Academician Fang Shan.

On the way back, Professor Gao laughed and said, "The Caucasian woman's purpose is impure. She wanted to get C72 fullerene from the very beginning, and at the dinner table she also asked about C72 fullerene."

"Yeah!" Ye Fei nodded: "For this reason, I didn't publish the paper in a scientific journal. I didn't expect that some people in the natural journal wanted to get C72 fullerene."

"Which side did you say she was sent by?" Professor Gao asked, "Is it Beili, or England?"

Nature Journals is a periodical published by the Nature Publishing Group in England.

Ye Fei shook his head and said, "Who knows, leave her alone, anyway, she didn't get C72 fullerene."

"Yeah!" Professor Gao nodded: "Let's not worry about these troubles, we just need to prevent outsiders from getting C72 fullerene."

"Yes!" Ye Fei nodded.

After half a month, a new issue of Nature Journal is released!
Ye Fei's paper was published on it, and many researchers were shocked when they saw it.

North America, MIT!

Yu Lin looked at Ye Fei's paper in the journal Nature, and said in surprise, "It actually succeeded, my God."

"Is C72 fullerene really so magical?"

"I really want to get some C72 fullerene to experiment and see the results!"

Of course, she also knows that this is impossible unless Xia Guo sells C72 fullerene to others.

Kyoto, Fullerene Research Institute!

Ye Fei is doing experiments. After the fusion of C72 fullerene and non-fullerene, he plans to create a material with strong light absorption as a solar panel.

"Ye Fei!" At this moment, Professor Gao walked in from the outside and said excitedly, "You have won the award."

Ye Fei froze for a moment, then turned to look at Professor Gao who walked in, and asked, "What award?"

"The Robert Franklin Meyer Award!" Professor Gao said with a smile, "for your contribution to the scientific research of materials science."

"This is one of the top awards in international materials science!"

"Do you know how many people want to win this award!"

"In our country of Xia, there were only two people who won this award in the past, and you are the third."

"Even in the world, there are only 106 winners, and you are the 107th!"

The Robert Franklin Meyer Award is presented annually, one person at a time.

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Where is the award presented? If it's going abroad, I can't go, unless it's some friendly countries of our country."

With Ye Fei's current status, he can hardly go abroad.

Just look at Ye Fei’s current achievements, such as the development of asymmetric encryption and latitude blockchain system, the discovery of C72 fullerene, the development of a lithium battery separator, and now the fusion of C72 fullerene and non-fullerene.

Although there are not many things developed, each item is very important to the country.

It is difficult for someone with so much classified research to go abroad.

Unless it is going to some countries that are very friendly to Xia Guo.

For example, Northern Russia in the north, Pakistan Railway in the southwest, some countries in Southeast Asia and some countries in Western Europe in the south.

Moreover, Ye Fei had to apply to his superiors to go abroad, and he could only go abroad after the superiors agreed.

Professor Gao said with a smile: "Don't worry, this award will be presented in the magic capital of our country!"

"That's good!" Ye Fei smiled.

With the strengthening of the comprehensive national strength of the Xia Kingdom and the advancement of science, more and more scholars pay attention to the Xia Kingdom.

In addition, Xia Kingdom has a strong economy, a stable society, and one of the safest countries in the world.

Therefore, more and more international conferences, competitions and activities are held in Xiaguo.

Ye Fei asked, "When will the awards be presented?"

"On the 1st of next month, the invitation letter will be sent in a few days, and you can go there then."

"Yeah!" Ye Fei nodded and said with a smile, "Will you come with me then?"

There will be many world-renowned materials scientists participating in this kind of top international awards ceremony, and bringing Professor Gao can increase your network.

"Haha..." Professor Gao laughed and said, "I'm just waiting for your words. Even if you don't say it, I will ask you to take me with you."

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Then let's go together!"
