From a university student to a chief academician

Chapter 189 Preparing to declare for academician selection

Walking into Lingang Center, Ye Fei found his place.

Since Professor Gao came with him, the two of them are in the same place.

Ye Fei is in the fifth row.

This location is a very good one, with a total of thirty rows of seats.

The first row is for the winners of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Nobel Prize in Physics and leaders of the International Society for Materials Science, and the second to fourth rows are for the winners of the top international materials science awards.

Rows five to No.20 are all seats for materials scientists, chemists, and physicists.

Among them, the fifth to eighth rows are all seats for top material scientists, chemists and physicists.

No.20 Sixth Row and No.30 Row are some entrepreneurs.

After Ye Fei sat down, he looked at Professor Gao beside him with a wry smile and said, "You were not honest just now, and you didn't help me. It took me a lot of effort to break free from the crowd of reporters."

Professor Gao said with a smile, "Haha...my old arms and legs can't stop those reporters. Reporters are uncrowned kings, and anyone who sees them will be afraid."

"Hey..." Ye Fei let out a long sigh: "Who says it's not? Fortunately, I'm not a celebrity, and I rarely face reporters, otherwise I would be very distressed."

"You have to get used to it." Professor Gao looked at Ye Fei gloatingly, and said with a smile, "You will encounter many such things in the future."

Ye Fei is only in his 20s, and he has achieved today's achievements.

I believe that there will be more achievements in the future, so the number of times I will face reporters will increase.

"Hey..." Ye Fei sighed helplessly.

He just wanted to do research, and he really didn't want to face reporters.

During the conversation, more and more people sat down in the seats, and in about half an hour, all the seats were filled.

At 08:30, a young man came onto the stage with a microphone.

"Welcome everyone to participate in today's International Materials Academic Conference, I am today's host..."

After introducing the people in the first row, the host said, "Professor Stanley Whittingham, winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, will announce the list of winners."

Stanley Whittingham is the winner of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his contribution to the research and development of lithium-ion batteries.

A middle-aged, middle-aged Caucasian man with glasses and a slightly rich appearance walked onto the stage.

Stanley took the microphone from the host, and a young woman in a white cheongsam came up holding a square plate with an envelope on it.

Stanley picked up the envelope from the plate and opened it, saying, "The winner of the Material Application of the Year Award is Danai Robbins!"

"Papa..." The crowd applauded enthusiastically.

A middle-aged man walked onto the stage with a smile on his face.

A total of nine awards were presented today, namely the Annual Material Application Award, the International Innovative Materials Award, the Annual Best Global Team Award in Materials Science and Engineering, the International Federation of Materials Frontier Materials Award, the International Award for New Materials, and the Young Scientist of the International Society for Advanced Materials Award, Material Frontier Scientist Award, International Society for Materials Outstanding Graduation Thesis Award (master's and doctoral categories) and Robert Franklin Meyer Award.

One of the most important awards is the Robert Franklin Meyer Award.

After Robbins took the stage, he shook hands with Stanley.

Stanley picked up the medal from the plate held by the young woman on the side, put it on Robbins, and then picked up the award certificate from the plate, and gave it to Robbins.

Finally, the two stood together for a photo.

After that, Robbins will give a speech of 10 minutes to 10 minutes. The specific time is not specified, as long as the time does not exceed 10 minutes.

After Robbins stepped down, Stanley continued to present the award.

The awards were awarded one by one, and two-thirds of the awards were awarded throughout the morning.

The presentation of awards continued after a two-hour break at noon.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Stanley said: "The one who won the Robert Franklin Meyer Award!"

Everyone looked at it with their necks hooked, knowing that this was the most valuable award in today's awards ceremony.

"Xia Guoye Fei, reward him for fusing fullerenes and non-fullerenes."

"Clap clap clap..."

"Ye Fei?" Schmidt, who was sitting in the last row, was surprised when he heard this: "He actually won the Robert Franklin Meyer Award?"

"What kind of luck am I going!" Schmidt smiled bitterly in his heart: "On the first day of my arrival in Xia Kingdom, I offended Ye Fei before the work started."

In fact, Shimit did not expect that Ye Fei had already forgotten him.

Moreover, at that time he just asked Ye Fei to get out of the way, and Ye Fei was not so cautious about it.

Ye Fei stood up and walked onto the stage, shaking hands with Stanley.

Stanley put the medal on Ye Fei, gave the certificate to Ye Fei, and said with a smile, "Congratulations!"

"Thank you!" Ye Fei smiled.

After taking a photo with Stanley, Ye Fei started to give a speech.

Ye Feidao: "Thanks to the International Society for Materials Science and Technology, and to Professor Stanley for awarding me the Meyer Award."

"I am honored to receive the Mel Award."

"I know that many people must be very interested in C72 fullerene, but I'm sorry, due to confidentiality regulations, I can't explain any news about C72 fullerene."

"Haha..." Everyone below laughed.

But most of these laughter are not well-intentioned.

As more and more things have been developed by C72 fullerene, it is rumored that C72 fullerene has high stability and can be developed in many more applications than C60 fullerene, and it can be applied to more fields than C60 Fullerenes are much higher.

The applications developed by C72 fullerene are not limited to Ye Fei's research.

The Graphene Research Institute has many researchers working on it.

So far, more than 30 applications have been developed and used in more than a dozen fields.

Moreover, the effect is very good, much better than C60 fullerene.

In all fields where C60 fullerene can be used, the effect of C72 fullerene is much better than that of C60 fullerene.

Because of this, many people in the outside world are eager to get C72 fullerene.

Ye Feidao: "Although C72 fullerene cannot be discussed, we can discuss the application research of C72 fullerene."

"Recently, I am researching the fusion of C72 fullerene and non-fullerene to make solar panels, and the effect is very remarkable. I have already produced a polysilicon solar panel comparable to First Solar."

First Solar's polysilicon solar panel is the best solar panel in the world, with the strongest light-absorbing ability and the highest electrical conversion rate.

FirstSolar, the first solar energy in Chinese, is a manufacturer of solar photovoltaic modules in North America.

It is also the best solar photovoltaic module manufacturing company in the world.

"Woo..." Everyone exclaimed.

"But according to my theoretical research, the performance can be improved by two more levels." Ye Feidao: "I believe that in the near future, I can overcome this difficulty."

Ye Fei didn't say that his current research is stuck, he just wants to make a wave of Versailles, and he can develop solar panels that are better than First Solar's polysilicon solar panels in the future.

"..."

Hearing Ye Fei's words, the eyes of many people present flickered.

After Ye Fei finished his speech and went down to his seat, Professor Gao smiled lightly and said, "You have dug a big hole for yourself. Are you afraid that you won't be able to research it in the end?"

Ye Fei shook his head and smiled: "Impossible, I have never studied without success."

Professor Gao was amused, Ye Fei was too confident!

No one can guarantee 100% success in any research.

Of course, judging from Ye Fei's achievements in the past, Professor Gao has certain confidence in Ye Fei.

But certainly not 100% confident.

After the awards ceremony, it was dinner time.

At the dinner, Ye Fei was like a star, surrounded by many people.

With Ye Fei's current achievements, he finally enjoys the treatment of a top scientist.

Ye Fei chatted with many material scientists about the research in the field of materials, which made Ye Fei gain a lot.

Especially one of them chatted with Ye Fei about a research idea.

It's called genetic code material research.

In his words, animals have genes, plants have genes, and materials should also have genes.

Genes are like molecules. Different combinations of molecules can make the quality of materials different, and different gene sequences can also change the quality of materials.

Of course, that person was just thinking on a whim and hadn't started researching yet.

However, Ye Fei paid attention.

Ye Feixin said: "I'm already in a difficult situation using C72 fullerene to study solar panels, but I can start from this direction."

"It's just that genetics seems to be in the field of biology!"

"It looks like I still need to learn about biology."

Ye Fei found that the deeper the research in various fields, the more cross-field research will appear.

For example, studying physics will use chemical knowledge.

To study chemistry, knowledge of biology will be used.

To study computers, knowledge of physics will be used.

"Professor Ye, hello!" At this moment, a middle-aged man walked up to Ye Fei.

"Hello!" Ye Fei smiled.

Ye Fei didn't know this middle-aged man, but Ye Fei didn't know many people present.

The middle-aged man said: "I am Kang Cheng, the CEO of Longji Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd."

"Longi's?" Ye Fei looked at Kang Cheng in amazement and smiled, "Your company's solar panels are very powerful. I have also studied your solar panels."

Longji Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. is the best solar photovoltaic research and development and manufacturing company in Xiaguo, headquartered in Chang'an.

Ranked third in the world, the first is FirstSolar, and the second is Enphase Energy.

Both the first and the second belong to the North Liguo Company.

Among the top ten solar panel R&D and manufacturing companies in the world, there are three companies on the list in North Liguo, three companies in North Russia, two companies in Dongying Country, and two companies in Xiaguo.

In terms of global solar power, Xiaguo ranks third, reaching 12%.

The top two are North America and North Russia.

Kang Cheng said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to study our company's solar panels. It's an honor!"

"Haha..." Ye Fei laughed and said, "Isn't this a normal thing? When I study solar energy, of course I have to look at internationally renowned solar panels."

Kang Cheng said: "Professor Ye, have you really developed a solar panel comparable to First Solar?"

"Of course!" Ye Fei nodded.

After hesitating for a moment, Kang Cheng said, "Professor Ye, I have a heartfelt request."

"Please tell me!" Ye Fei said.

"I would like to rent your current solar panel patent."

Ye Fei thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't think it's appropriate."

Kang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then said anxiously: "Professor Ye, the price is negotiable."

The reason why Kang Cheng felt that Ye Fei would agree to lease out the patent.

It is because, some time ago, Ye Fei leased the patent of lithium battery separator to Enjie.

Since the patent can be leased to Enjie, it also means that the patent can be leased to their company.

Ye Fei said: "Don't get me wrong, it's not about money. It's not that I don't want to lease the patent to you, but my research has not been completed yet."

"Huh?" Kang Cheng asked suspiciously, "Haven't you already developed a solar panel comparable to First Solar?"

"Yes!" Ye Fei nodded and said, "But as I said on the podium, theoretically, my research can be enhanced by two more levels."

"If I lease the patent to your company now, will you change the production workshop before producing solar panels?"

"En!" Kang Cheng nodded and said, "Yes!"

Ye Feidao: "I believe that my research will be completed soon. If I rent you two patents that are two levels higher than before, don't you want to change the production workshop?"

"What a waste of money and energy!"

"So, it's better to wait for a while. After my research is completed, I think you can rent it, and you can rent it again. Is this okay?"

Kang Cheng stared blankly at Ye Fei, thinking that Ye Fei's idea was too arrogant!

Research does not mean that success can be successful.

No one can guarantee 100% success in research.

Kang Cheng said: "Professor Ye, can you ensure success?"

"Of course!" Ye Fei smiled confidently: "I believe I will succeed soon."

"Okay!" Kang Cheng nodded.

Kang Cheng was willing to wait for Ye Fei for a while.

If after a year, Ye Fei has not succeeded in the research, then he will rent the patent from Ye Fei.

I believe that at that time, Ye Fei will agree to lease the patent to their company.

The next day, Ye Fei returned to the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute!
After returning home, Ye Fei immediately learned genetic knowledge from a biologist from the National Institute of Biology through connections.

October 2028, 12!
Ye Fei pushed the door open and entered Professor Gao's office!
"Professor Gao, what did you ask me to come back for?"

Ye Fei was studying at the National Institute of Biology. On this day, Professor Gao suddenly called Ye Fei back.

"Here we come." Professor Gao pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "Sit!"

After Ye Fei sat down, Professor Gao smiled and said, "The reason I called you back is because I have something important to tell you."

"Yeah!" Ye Fei nodded and said, "Please tell me!"

"Let me ask you first, how is your research going?" Professor Gao asked.

Ye Fei said: "It's okay. When I went to the award ceremony some time ago, I chatted with a person. He proposed to combine genes and materials. I think it's good."

"So, I was studying genetic knowledge at the National Institute of Biology during this time."

Professor Gao asked, "What about mathematics?"

"Hilbert's 12th problem in mathematics has been studied by one-fifth. According to this speed, it can be completed in April next year."

"Not enough!" Professor Gao shook his head and said, "You have to do a more important research."

"Huh?" Ye Fei looked at Professor Gao suspiciously and asked, "Professor Gao, don't be fooled. What's the matter?"

Professor Gao said, "You know the selection criteria for academicians, right?"

"Of course!" Ye Fei nodded.

Professor Gao said: "The academician review time is very long. If it is a single academician selection, it is once every two years, and if it is a dual academy selection, it is once every five years."

"The selection of academicians starts on January 1 of that year and will be announced on November 1."

"Next year, that is, 2029, is the time for the selection of academicians."

"But next year will only be the time for the selection of academicians of the single academies, and the selection of academicians of the double academies will be in 2031."

Ye Feidao: "Professor Gao, you want me to participate in the selection of academicians?"

"Hmm!" Professor Gao nodded, "If you don't try it next year, you'll have to wait until 2031."

"And 2031 is three years away."

"Based on your growth rate, three years is too long and not appropriate."

"You can definitely get an academician of a single academy next year, and wait until three years later to get an academician of a double academy."

The academicians of the single academy and the academicians of the double academy are not at all the difference between the academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

These are two selection modes, the academician of a single academy is much simpler than the academician of a double academy.

If you get an academician of a single academy, you will go to compete for an academician of a double academy.

The difficulty of selecting academicians of both academies will not be reduced, and the selection criteria for academicians of both academies will still be selected.

"Of course, it's just for you to try. If you fail, try harder in 2031."

Academician Xia Guo may be the academician with the highest gold content in the world. The selection requirements are extremely high and the selection is extremely difficult.

Many people can be rated as academicians abroad, but they cannot be rated as academicians in Xiaguo.

Ye Fei felt a little excited when he heard what Professor Gao said.

As a scientific researcher, it is not only for research, but also for winning awards and being elected academicians.

Academicians and awards are the ultimate dreams of researchers.

Ye Fei looked at Professor Gao in embarrassment and said, "But, Professor Gao, I am now a third-level professor. Doesn't it mean that only second-level or first-level professors can apply for academician selection?"

"In theory." Professor Gao said: "But there are special circumstances. You ask Zhonghu University to quickly promote you to a second-level professor, and then apply for academician selection."

"All right!"

Professor Gao said, "What kind of academician do you want to select?"

"If you are a bachelor of materials, you can do it, but if you are a bachelor of mathematics, you are not enough."

"Mathematically, you have to do something harder than Hilbert's 12th problem."

"My recommendation is a Bachelor of Mathematics."

"Among all academicians, the academician of mathematics has the highest status."

Among all academicians, academicians of mathematics have the highest status, followed by academicians of physics, and then academicians of other disciplines.

"Well, I see." Ye Fei nodded, thinking about what aspects of mathematics to study next.

"Will you participate in the selection of academicians next year?" Professor Gao asked.

"Of course!" Ye Fei said.

"If you participate, you can apply through Zhonghu University!"

"I see."

After leaving Professor Gao's office, Ye Fei flew to the sand dunes and returned to school to talk about it.
