Starting from a top student and marching towards the sea of ​​stars

Chapter 127 You are going to create big news in academia again

During the research on new iron-based superconducting materials in Ningchen, a lot of achievements have been accumulated.

At this time, it’s time to sort out the results and write a paper and submit it.

The critical superconducting temperatures of these new superconductors discovered by Ning Chen range from 5K to 40K.

The superconducting critical temperature of these materials does not allow them to be called high-temperature superconductors, and their application value is also very limited.

But from an academic point of view, these research results are undoubtedly of great academic value and will be of great help to mankind in continuing to improve the theory of superconductivity and continue to explore superconducting materials.

Next, Ning Chen first added all the 1000 energy points just rewarded by the system to his own mental index.

Although Ning Chen used twice as many energy points this time as last time, the improvement in his brain power index was only more than 20 points.

Of course, such an increase in brain power index is very significant for Ning Chen's brain power.

The feeling of warm current flowing through the brain appeared again. Ning Chen couldn't take a break and took advantage of the situation to immediately start writing the paper.

Ning Chen clearly felt that after his mental power was greatly enhanced again, his work efficiency had also been significantly improved compared to before.

During the entire project, Ning Chen summarized various experimental data, phenomena, theories, etc. The amount of information was very large, and the total amount even exceeded a thousand pages.

But since Ning Chen can search and organize this information very clearly, in fact, every detail in it has been deeply imprinted in Ning Chen's mind.

……

After spending a week, Ning Chen finally completed the writing of the paper.

Even though Ning Chen had done everything possible to streamline the various results during the experiment, the final paper still had dozens of pages.

Ning Chen divided it into three parts. The results of each part are of very high academic value when taken separately.

After finishing the paper, Ning Chen thought about it and decided to tell Xu Zhou about it.

Although Ning Chen now also assumes the responsibility of corresponding author, Xu Zhou is his instructor after all.

Even if Xu Zhou is not directly responsible for these papers, he must at least let Xu Zhou know about the submission of the papers.

Ning Chen found Xu Zhou and told Xu Zhou that he had finished writing his thesis.

"Not bad, I finished writing the paper so quickly. After accumulating results for such a long time, the paper must be very long."

"Yes, even though I have written it very concisely, it still adds up to dozens of pages. I divided them into three major parts. If I put them all together, it would be too long."

With that said, Ning Chen showed Xu Zhou the first draft of the paper.

Because the paper was too long, Xu Zhou did not read it carefully, but just glanced at it in general.

Of course, because Xu Zhou had been paying attention to Ning Chen's experimental progress, Xu Zhou basically understood the structure of Ning Chen's paper just by taking a rough look.

"Yes, although it is divided into three parts, the academic value of each part is very high. Ning Chen, how do you plan to submit these papers?"

"Teacher Xu, I feel that it is better to put these results together for delivery to achieve greater coherence. Teacher Xu, what do you think?"

"Ning Chen, what do you mean...to package these three papers together and submit them to Nature?"

Ning Chen nodded slightly when he heard this and waited for Xu Zhou's opinion.

"Ning Chen, you really have great ideas. If you can really publish three papers in Nature, then you will create big news in the academic world."

For many scholars, being able to publish an article in Nature once in a while is already something worth showing off.

Of course, judging from the quality of Ning Chen's three papers, it is very possible to publish it in Nature.

After all, Ning Chen developed a brand new superconducting system, and it was not as simple as just accidentally discovering a new superconductor.

"I think you can still give it a try. Then Ning Chen, I will do it according to your ideas. Because this is a paper that you are responsible for. The paper delivery, review and proofreading are mainly handled by yourself. ." Ning Chen also knew that since he was already the corresponding author, Xu Zhou could no longer handle these tasks.

After so many experiences of submitting papers, Ning Chen also has the confidence to complete these tasks on his own.

"Okay, Teacher Xu, then I will refine and proofread the paper, and then prepare it for submission."

Recently, Xu Zhou's main energy has been placed on Piati's research on horizontal topics. Ning Chen did not want to disturb Xu Zhou too much, so he started revising the paper himself.

The amount of information in these three papers was very large, and Ning Chen revised them for several days in a row before finally being satisfied with the revised papers.

After completing these tasks, Ning Chen submitted these three papers to the delivery mailbox of "Nature".

This time, Ning Chen did not submit in his own name, but from Shengzhou University as the corresponding author.

Submitting the paper through the school can make it easier for the paper to be accepted by the journal. After the paper is successfully published, it can also meet the school's various paper reward policies and receive rewards from the school.

After finally completing the submission of these three papers, Ning Chen sat at his desk in the evening, thinking about the next research plan.

In the days to come, Ning Chen will definitely devote more energy to research on new silicon-based anode materials.

After all, this is a topic that I and Xu Zhou are mainly responsible for. Once a result with application value is developed, I and Xu Zhou will each own 50.00% of the patent rights.

Due to previous research on superconducting projects, Ning Chen’s investment in lithium battery anode material projects was relatively limited.

If this continues, even if it does produce results, Ning Chen will be embarrassed to share half of the patent ownership.

But at the same time, Ning Chen did not want to devote all his energy to this project, because the research on superconductivity was far from over.

Ning Chen feels that the new iron-based superconducting system he discovered can be further expanded and some more complex structures added to it.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen continued to analyze the theories in previous experiments and thought about future research directions.

The previous two consecutive significant increases in the brain power index had indeed greatly improved Ning Chen's thinking ability.

After several hours of intense thinking, Ning Chen has identified several possible future research directions.

"The core of the new superconducting system is still the FeSe layer. But in it, you can consider adding some more complex structures, such as ammonium radicals, other metal elements, hydroxide radicals, or even their combination structures, etc."

With these possible research directions, Ning Chen has more confidence to continue to make further progress in the field of superconductivity research.

The next day, Ning Chen came to the laboratory and first started working on silicon-based anode materials.

Because Ning Chen still needs to plan carefully for the next topic related to superconductivity, he is not in a hurry to start the experiment right away.

Seeing Ning Chen coming over, Xu Zhou was in a good mood.

With Ning Chen here, the progress of the project will definitely increase a lot.

"Ning Chen, have those three papers been submitted?"

"Well, the submission has been completed. And Teacher Xu, I have begun to have some ideas about the future research direction."

Hearing Ning Chen's words, Xu Zhou couldn't help but feel very surprised.

In the process of Ning Chen's scientific research, was there never a bottleneck stage?
"Mr. Xu, don't worry. I just have some preliminary ideas. I haven't figured out how to carry out the experiment yet. Now I still want to finish this horizontal project with you first."

"Haha, it doesn't matter. You should definitely focus on your own topic. These days, the progress of this project is still very smooth. Of course, with you here, the progress of the project will definitely be smoother."

Through previous research, the experimental team has successfully synthesized a fiber-type silicon-carbon composite material. Compared with previous anode materials, various properties have been improved to varying degrees.

"Mr. Xu, the application value of this new material is better than the previous materials, right?"

"Judging from the properties of this material at this stage, this is indeed the case. But now this material is more in the experimental stage, and there are still some key issues that have not been resolved."
