From a university student to a chief academician

Chapter 188 Materials Rising Star Ye Fei

When the news that Ye Fei won the Robert Franklin Meyer Award spread, the entire Graphene Research Institute exploded.

You must know that Ye Fei is engaged in mathematics, and a person engaged in mathematics has won one of the highest awards in materials science.

This has amazed many people. People who do well in the field of mathematics are all perverts, and it is a blow to other fields!

director's office!
The dean and the deputy dean sat together and chatted.

The vice-principal said dumbfoundedly: "Principal, you said that Ye Fei is so good that he won the Mel Award."

The dean smiled and said: "In fact, this is also understandable. After all, he discovered C72 fullerene and fused C72 fullerene and non-fullerene together. This is the first case in the world."

"It's normal to win awards like this."

"Even if he doesn't win an award now, he will still win an award for this research in the future."

"If the C72 fullerene is announced, he will not only win the Mel Award, but I think he will be nominated for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry."

Ye Fei's discovery of C72 fullerene cannot win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, but he can be nominated.

Because the rule of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry is to discover new things that have not been discovered before, and fullerenes have been discovered before.

But given the importance and popularity of the Nobel Prize, even being nominated is a great honor.

The vice president nodded and smiled, "That's right."

Then, the vice president said regretfully: "Unfortunately, C72 fullerene cannot be released to the public, which prevents Ye Fei from being nominated for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry."

"Whether there is gain or loss!" the dean said: "C72 fullerene is very important to our country, we must keep it secret."

"Yeah!" The deputy director nodded: "Dean, Ye Fei came to work in our research institute temporarily. He can't stay in our research institute forever. For a talent like him, do you really want to let him go?"

The dean said: "I've thought about this too. It's just that Ye Fei is engaged in mathematics, and he only studies materials temporarily. He probably doesn't want to stay with us forever!"

The vice president said: "You can talk to him, maybe he wants to stay!"

"You must know that a talent like Ye Fei is rare in decades!"

"If he stays, it will be of great benefit to our research institute."

"If he can win the Nobel Prize in the future, the benefits will be great."

"Of course, winning the Nobel Prize is just an analogy."

"Even if he can't win the Nobel Prize, other top international awards can be won!"

"You see he won the Mel Award now."

The dean was very moved when he heard this.

That's right, when a talent like Ye Fei comes across, he should be firmly grasped.

Even if there is a one in ten thousand possibility, try to try.

The dean said: "I will try!"

The vice president nodded and said, "As soon as possible, it's best to talk about it in a few days. The sooner this kind of thing happens, the better."

"Okay!" The dean nodded: "I will find time to talk to Ye Fei these few days."

Fullerene Research Institute, in the laboratory!
Ye Fei sat in front of the computer, looked at the test data, and frowned slightly.

Ye Fei fused C72 fullerene and non-fullerene to form a new material. Ye Fei asked people from the National Energy Research Institute to make solar panels with this material.

The solar panel is not big, only one square meter, and it weighs one catty in the hand.

After getting it back, Ye Fei tested it.

【Peak power: 350Wp
Peak working voltage: 45V
Peak operating current: 10.1A
Open circuit voltage: 41.2V
Short circuit current: 9.75A
Module efficiency: 21.2%
Power deviation: +1%]

The researcher standing behind Ye Fei gasped after seeing the data.

One of the researchers said, "Director Ye, this data is too good!"

Ye Fei nodded and said, "Not bad."

"This is more than good!" The researcher continued: "It's so good that there is nothing to say."

The solar panels developed by Ye Fei are already comparable to the best solar panels in the world, especially in terms of power deviation.

For other solar panels, the general power deviation is 2%, or even more.

But the solar panels developed by Ye Fei are at 1%.

The smaller the deviation, the better.

Ye Fei shook his head and said, "I haven't reached a satisfactory result yet."

"Is this still not satisfactory?" The researcher behind Ye Fei was surprised.

If they can develop such a good solar panel, they will be so excited that they can't sleep for three days, and everyone will laugh when they see it.

Of course Ye Fei is not satisfied, because from his theoretical research, the solar panels he developed are at least two levels better in terms of data.

After all, the material of Yefei's solar panels is a fusion of C72 fullerene and non-fullerene.

The ability to absorb light is very strong, and the converted electrical energy, a solar panel of [-] square meters, absorbs the sun's converted electrical energy at [-] degrees a day.

Enough power for a family of four for a day.

But the solar panels developed now, a solar panel of 3.5 square meters, can absorb up to [-] kilowatt-hours of electricity a day.

Ye Fei frowned, and thought, "What's wrong? It shouldn't be. In theory, it's impossible to absorb only such a small amount of electricity."

"The material is definitely right, and making solar panels is also right."

"But what went wrong?"

Ye Fei thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what went wrong.

"Hey..." Ye Fei sighed in his heart: "Forget it, take your time, research can't be rushed for a while, maybe when you will think of it!"

Ye Fei raised his hand, looked at his watch, and said, "It's already twelve o'clock."

After speaking, Ye Fei stood up and said, "Let's go to eat."

Immediately, Ye Fei walked outside, and the rest followed.

In the cafeteria!
Ye Fei was eating with his head down. At this time, the dean sat opposite Ye Fei with a plate.

Seeing the dean sitting opposite him, Ye Fei smiled and said, "Dean, why are you eating in this cafeteria today?"

The research institute is very large, with five canteens, which are distributed in the southeast, northwest and east of the institute.

The dean smiled and said: "Occasionally, you have to change the taste. You can't always eat in the same canteen. Occasionally change the canteen to eat, but I think the food is delicious."

Ye Fei smiled, the tastes of the food in the five canteens are similar, and the recipes are the same every day.

Seeing that Ye Fei was silent, the dean asked, "What are you researching recently?"

"Solar panels!"

The dean nodded and said, "It's a very good study."

He doesn't know where it's good, and many people are researching solar panels.

The reason why he said that was just to find something to talk to Ye Fei.

Ye Fei said: "It's okay."

The dean smiled and said: "Your research will definitely be very good."

Ye Fei chuckled and said, "Prince, you're too much of an award."

The dean said: "Ye Fei, you said that you are so good at materials research, have you ever thought about digging deeper in this field?"

"Huh?" Ye Fei looked up at the dean suspiciously and asked, "Dig deep? What do you mean? Am I digging deep now?"

"I mean, have you thought about staying in this field longer."

Ye Fei understood the dean's meaning, and Ye Fei said with a smile: "Dean, do you want me to stay at the Graphene Research Institute?"

"Yes!" The dean nodded: "How about it, have you thought about it?"

"If you stay in our research institute, I can give you a vice president, Dangdang, who is on the same level as Director Gao."

Professor Gao, also known as Director Gao.

He is the director of the Fullerene Institute and the vice president of the Graphene Institute.

Ye Fei said: "Dean, you know that academician Guo Ruo from the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences came to the Fullerene Institute some time ago, right?"

"I know!" The dean nodded.

For someone like Academician Guo Ruo, the dean of the Graphene Research Institute naturally wants to meet him.

Of course, the dean is also an academician, equal to Academician Guo Ruo, and there is no distinction between the two.

But academician Guo Ruo has a weird temper, and meeting the dean was not very pleasant.

The dean didn't quarrel with him, just met him once and never saw him again.

Ye Feidao: "Academician Guo Ruo wanted to recruit me to the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He said that I would be a second-level researcher, but I didn't."

"You are right not to go." The dean said: "That old guy has a very weird temper. If you go, you will definitely suffer. You may be scolded by him every day."

Ye Fei coughed, reminding the dean to pay attention to his image.

Ye Feidao: "Dean, what I mean is, since I won't go to the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, naturally I won't stay here for a long time."

"After all, I study mathematics, and I will definitely study mathematics eventually."

"Materials science is just my temporary interest."

"Also, I have a lot of work elsewhere."

"You really don't want to stay?" the dean asked: "I think you are very talented in the field of materials, and studying mathematics is burying your talent."

Ye Fei said with a smile: "Dean, what you said is exactly the same as what Academician Guo Ruo said at the time. He also said at the time that I am very talented in the field of physics, and studying mathematics is to bury my talent."

The dean asked in surprise, "He also said that?"

"En!" Ye Fei nodded.

"Unlucky!" The dean scolded angrily, and said, "Since you don't want to stay here for a long time, that's fine, and I won't force others to do anything."

"After all, twisted melons are not sweet!"

October 2028, 11!
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Fei and Professor Gao flew to Shanghai by plane and landed in Kyoto around six o'clock.

"I'll go..." Ye Fei and Professor Gao just came out of the station, and saw ten stretched cars lined up in front of the station.

There was a man standing at the door of each car, wearing black sunglasses, a black suit, and white gloves on his hands. He looked like a big brother in the underworld.

Among these people stood a young man wearing a white suit and dyed yellow hair.

Ye Fei and Professor Gao looked at each other suspiciously, and Professor Gao said, "Which big boss did we meet for a trip?"

"Maybe!" Ye Fei said.

"Get out of the way!" At this moment, a voice sounded behind Ye Fei.

Ye Fei turned his head and saw a young white man followed by two burly black bodyguards wearing sunglasses and black suits.

"Schmidt!" The young man saw the white youth warmly greet him.

Professor Gao pulled Ye Fei aside, and said, "Let's go. There are so many rich people now. When the children come out, they all bring bodyguards. Our country of Xia is very safe. What kind of bodyguards do we need?"

Ye Fei smiled and said: "Professor Gao, you don't understand this, it's called ostentation, don't care if it's safe or not, the ostentation must be sufficient."

"Bodyguards are not necessarily just for safety, but also for ostentation."

"Think about it, if there is a tall bodyguard behind you all the time, wouldn't it be very pompous?"

Professor Gao thought for a moment, nodded in agreement and said, "It seems so."

While talking, they called a taxi and got in and left.

In the stretch sedan!

The youth sat with Schmidt, each drinking a glass of champagne.

The young man said: "Schmidt, I have already obtained the invitation letter for this International Materials Academic Conference, but it is only the last seat!"

The young man shook his head and said helplessly: "The standard of the International Materials Academic Conference is too high, I spent a lot of effort to get an invitation letter for the final table, even if I want to go in, because there is only one invitation letter, I can't go in." go in."

Schmidt looked at the young man sincerely, and said, "Thank you, Li. I will remember your kindness. Regardless of whether this matter is successful or not, my company will reach a cooperation with your company."

The young man was delighted, this is what he wanted.

Schmidt's company is a large high-end materials company in Europe, mainly engaged in business in the field of high-end materials.

Such as high-quality steel, alloy materials, rare earth functional materials, graphene materials, aerospace materials.

Low-end materials are not huge profits, but high-end materials are.

Moreover, the raw materials for making high-end materials are very cheap, and if they are resold, a ton is worth at least several million.

Young's company wants to be the agent of Schmidt's family in Xiaguo, and it is precisely because of this that he helps Schmidt so much.

The young man said with a smile: "Schmidt, if you have any difficulties in Xiaguo, come to me, and I will help you."

"Yeah!" Schmidt nodded.

Schmidt's company is only a big company in Europe, but not a multinational company.

Compared with those multinational material companies in the world, the gap is still relatively large.

Schmidt's company has always wanted to go one step further.

I heard that this year's International Materials Academic Conference was held in Xiaguo Magic City.

Therefore, Schmidt came to Xiaguo, hoping to enter the International Materials Academic Conference and get to know some internationally renowned materials scientists.

If some cooperation can be reached, it is not a dream for his company to go further.

Schmidt also wants to get acquainted with top international material scientists, but with his identity and the capabilities of his company, those top international material scientists should not talk to him.

Ye Fei and Professor Gao went to a hotel by car to stay.

Ye Fei and the others are attending the International Materials Academic Conference, and this hotel is very close to Lingang Center, where the International Materials Academic Conference is held.

The next day!

Shanghai Lingang Center!

Early in the morning, reporters from all over the world gathered here.

"Friends from the audience, this is the Lingang Center of the Magic City of Xia Kingdom. Soon, an international academic conference on materials will be held here."

"The International Conference on Materials Science is one of the top materials conferences in the world, and it invites many well-known and top materials scientists from around the world."

"It is reported that many material scientists in our country have also been invited."

"Also, Ye Fei, a Chinese mathematician, was also invited."

"Although Ye Fei is a mathematician, he has also made outstanding achievements in the field of materials science."

"He discovered C72 fullerene not long ago, so C72 fullerene..."

The reporter said a lot about Ye Fei's contribution in materials science.

Moreover, many reporters present were talking about Ye Fei.

Not only Xia Guo reporters, but also many foreign reporters.

The main reason is that Ye Fei discovered C72 fullerene, developed a lithium battery separator and fused C72 fullerene with non-fullerene.

Of these three studies, the first is to discover the best fullerenes, copying the background of Beili Country in the field of fullerenes.

The second is to let Xiaguo's lithium battery diaphragm break through the technical blockade, and let Xiaguo master the manufacturing methods of the four core materials of lithium batteries.

The third is the world's first fullerene and non-fullerene fusion.

These three researches, each of which are very powerful, caused an uproar in the international material field.

Schmidt and the young man got out of the car and listened attentively. The young man asked suspiciously, "Schmidt, is the Ye Fei that these reporters are talking about Ye Fei from our Xia Kingdom?"

Schmidt glanced at the young man and said, "You don't know him?"

"Ye Fei!" the young man said, "I know, it seems to be doing some research."

Although the young man often surfs the Internet, he occasionally sees news about Ye Fei.

But that was more than a year ago, and he had long forgotten what Ye Fei looked like.

Besides, Ye Fei is not a celebrity, and he is not often exposed on the screen.

The latest news about Ye Fei was a year ago, and many people have long forgotten about Ye Fei.

Especially for young people, who are lavish every day, only pay attention to women, and he rarely pays attention to men.

Schmidt nodded and said, "He's in mathematics."

Schmidt also knew about Ye Fei, but he only heard his father mention it casually.

But he had never seen Ye Fei's photo, and he didn't check Ye Fei's photo either.

Moreover, Ye Fei's deeds are rarely exposed on the Internet.

Based on what Ye Fei is doing now, the relationship with Beili Country is very bad, so it is not bad if he is not blocked.

The young man nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, he is engaged in mathematics, but they said that Ye Fei is engaged in materials!"

"It's about materials." Schmidt said: "But it's also about mathematics."

The young man shook his head and said, "This group of people with high IQs are really powerful. It's okay to be good at math, and they can still make materials."

"So smart, if you want to make money, it should be easy!"

Schmidt nodded, "Yes!"

Then, Schmidt said with longing: "It would be great if we can be strong with Ye Fei. If we can cooperate with him, our company will not only go a step further, but it is possible to become a leading enterprise in certain materials."

Of course, Smith knew that was impossible.

After all, Ye Fei has a very high status in the material industry now, and the status of his company is very different from that of Ye Fei.

In addition, his family is a foreign company, which completely eliminates cooperation with Ye Fei.

At this time, Ye Fei and Professor Gao got out of the car.

"Huh?" Schmidt frowned, thinking, "Aren't these two people I met at the gate of the airport yesterday? Are they also here to attend the meeting?"

"Isn't it, so coincidental?"

When the reporters saw Ye Fei, they quickly surrounded him like fans seeing a celebrity.

"Professor Ye, hello, I'm a reporter from CCTV Science and Technology Channel. May I ask if you will win an award if you participate in this conference?"

"Professor Ye, hello, I'm a reporter from TV Tokyo. Can you tell me more about the C72 fullerene you discovered?"

"Professor Ye, hello, I am a reporter from London TV. You have developed a lithium battery separator with C72 fullerene. What else have you developed from C72 fullerene?"

"Professor Ye, hello, I'm a reporter from KBS. You have fused C72 fullerene and non-fullerene. This is the first case in the world. What will be the effect of this fusion?"

"Professor Ye, please tell me about C72 fullerene!"

"Professor Ye..."

Ye Fei faced many reporters helplessly.

And Professor Gao fled long ago, he didn't want to be surrounded by reporters.

Ye Feidao: "About C72 fullerene, this is a highly confidential research institute, I don't want to explain too much."

"As for whether I have won an award, you will know soon."

"Get out of the way, I'm going to the meeting, thank you, thank you!"

After a long time, Ye Fei broke free from the reporters' siege, and then quickly walked towards the Lingang Center.

"Is he Ye Fei?" Schmidt stared blankly at Ye Fei who walked into Lingang Center.

"He turned out to be Ye Fei?" Schmidt thought in his mind that he seemed to be rude to Ye Fei at the gate of the airport yesterday.

Ye Fei walked in front of him yesterday, blocking his way, and he directly asked Ye Fei to get out of the way.

Schmidt regretted it in his heart: "How could I let him get out of the way!"

"Damn it, he turned out to be Ye Fei. I should have seen Ye Fei's photo earlier, so I could know that he is Ye Fei."

It's not Schmidt's fault. First, he never expected to meet Ye Fei.

Second, there is a big gap between Schmidt's company and Ye Fei, and it is almost impossible to cooperate with Ye Fei.

Moreover, when his father mentioned Ye Fei, he only mentioned it casually.

Naturally, Schmidt would not look specifically for Ye Fei's photos.

It's like, someone said that so-and-so is very powerful in front of someone, so does that person go to find this person's photo to see?
Normal people wouldn't do it.

After all, people are lazy by nature, and rarely pay attention to and do things that have nothing to do with themselves.
