From university academician to chief academician

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

You must know that Ye Fei is engaged in mathematics. A person engaged in mathematics actually won one of the highest awards in materials science.

This makes many people marvel that people who do well in the field of mathematics are perverts, and those who go to other fields are simply a blow!

director's office!

The dean and the deputy dean sat together and chatted.

The vice-dean said dumbfounded: "Dean, you said Ye Fei is so amazing, he actually won the Mel Award."

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

"It's normal to win awards for such achievements."

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

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

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

Because the rule of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry is to discover something new, something that no one has discovered before, and fullerene has 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 with regret: "Unfortunately, C72 fullerene cannot be announced to the public, which prevents Ye Fei from being nominated for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry."

"There are gains and losses!" The dean said: "C72 fullerene is very important to our country, we must keep it secret."

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

The dean said: "I have thought about this, but Ye Fei is engaged in mathematics, and he is only temporarily studying materials science. 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 have to know that a talent like Ye Fei is rare to find in decades!"

"It would be of great benefit to our institute if we keep him here."

"It would be a great benefit if he could win a Nobel Prize in the future."

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

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

"Let's see if he wins the Mel Award now."

When the dean heard this, he was very moved.

Yes, you should grab a talent like Ye Fei when you encounter him.

Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, we must try.

The dean said: "I'll try!"

The vice-dean nodded and said, "As soon as possible. It's best to talk about it in the next few days. The sooner the better for this kind of thing."

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

Fullerene Institute, in the laboratory!

Ye Fei sat in front of the computer, looking at the test data and frowning slightly.

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

The solar panel is not large, only one square meter, and weighs one kilogram 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

Component efficiency: 21.2%

Power deviation: +1%]

The researcher standing behind Ye Fei took a breath after seeing this 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 I have 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 the result I'm satisfied with yet."

"Isn't this satisfactory?" The researcher behind Ye Fei was surprised.

If they could develop such a good solar panel, they would be so excited that they wouldn't sleep for three days and everyone would laugh.

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

After all, the material used by Ye Fei to manufacture solar panels is a fusion of C72 fullerene and non-fullerene.

The light absorption capacity is very strong, and the amount of electricity converted into electricity is ten degrees per day for a 100-square-meter solar panel.

Enough power for a family of four for a day.

But the solar panels developed now, one hundred square meters of solar panels, can absorb up to 3.5 kilowatt hours of electricity a day.

Ye Fei frowned and thought: "What went wrong? It shouldn't be. Theoretically, it is impossible to absorb only such a small amount of power."

"The material is definitely right, and the production of 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 and said: "Forget it, take your time, research can't be rushed, maybe you can think of it sometime!"

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

After saying that, Ye Fei stood up and said, "Let's go and eat."

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

In the cafeteria!

Ye Fei was eating with his head down. At this time, the dean sat across from Ye Fei with a dinner plate.

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

The institute is very large, with five canteens located in the southeast, northwest and middle of the institute.

The dean smiled and said: "Occasionally, you have to change the taste. You can't always eat in the same canteen. If you eat in the canteen occasionally, you will find the food more delicious."

Ye Fei smiled. The food in the five canteens all tasted similar, and the recipes were the same every day.

Seeing that Ye Fei was silent, the dean asked, "What are you studying recently!"

"Solar panels!"

The dean nodded and said: "It's a very good research."

He didn't know where it was good. Many people were studying solar panels.

The reason why he said this was just to find something to talk about with Ye Fei.

Ye Feidao: "It's okay."

The dean smiled and said: "You will definitely do well in your research."

Ye Fei chuckled and said, "Dean, you are so grateful."

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

"Huh?" Ye Fei raised his head and looked at the dean in confusion and asked, "Dig deep? What do you mean? Aren't I digging deep now?"

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

Ye Fei understood what the dean meant, and he said funnyly: "Dean, do you want me to stay at the Graphene Research Institute?"

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

"If you stay in our institute, I can give you a deputy director, Dangdang, on the same level as Director Gao."

Professor Gao, also known as Director Gao.

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

Ye Feidao: "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.

People like Academician Guo Ruo naturally want to meet the president of the Graphene Research Institute.

Of course, the dean is also an academician and is on the same level as academician Guo Ruo. There is no distinction between the two of them.

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

The dean didn't quarrel with him, he 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 should go and be a second-level researcher, but I didn't go."

"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 three days."

Ye Fei coughed and reminded 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, 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."

"Material science is only a temporary interest of mine."

“And, 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. Studying mathematics will bury your talent."

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

The dean said in surprise: "He also said that?"

"Yeah!" Ye Fei nodded.

"Bad luck!" The dean yelled angrily and said, "Since you don't want to stay here for a long time, forget it, I won't force you to do anything."

"After all, a twisted melon isn't sweet!"

November 30, 2028!

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Fei and Professor Gao took a plane to Shanghai and landed in Kyoto around six o'clock.

"I'm going..." Ye Fei and Professor Gao had just come out of the station and saw ten extended sedans lined up neatly at the entrance.

There is a man standing at the door of every car, wearing black sunglasses, a black suit, and white gloves on his hands, looking like a gangster brother.

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

Ye Fei and Professor Gao looked at each other in confusion, and Professor Gao said: "Which big boss are we meeting on a trip?"

"Maybe!" Ye Feidao.

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

Ye Fei turned around and saw a young white man. Behind him were two sturdy black bodyguards wearing sunglasses and black suits.

"Schmidt!" The young man saw the white young man and greeted him enthusiastically.

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

Ye Fei smiled and said: "Professor Gao, you don't understand this. This is called ostentation. Don't worry about whether it is safe or not. The ostentation must be sufficient."

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

"Think about it, if there is a tall bodyguard behind you all the time, how grand will it be?"

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

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

In the extended version of the sedan!

The young man and Schmidt sat together, each holding a glass of champagne and drinking.

The young man said: "Schmidt, I have obtained the invitation letter for this international materials academic conference for you, but it is only the last seat!"

The young man shook his head and said helplessly: "The standards of the International Materials Academic Conference are too high. I spent a lot of effort to get an invitation letter for the last seat. Even if I wanted to go in, I couldn't because there was only one invitation letter. Get in."

Schmidt looked at the young man sincerely and said: "Li, thank you, I will remember your kindness. No matter whether this matter succeeds or not, my company will reach a cooperation with your company."

The young man's eyes were filled with joy, this was 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.

For example, high-quality steel materials, alloy materials, rare earth functional materials, graphene materials, and aerospace materials.

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

Moreover, the raw materials for manufacturing high-end materials are very cheap. If resold, one ton is worth at least several million.

The young man's company wanted to be the Schmidt family's agent in Xia. That's why he helped Schmidt in this way.

The young man smiled and said: "Schmidt, if you have any difficulties in Xia Kingdom, come to me and I will help you."

"Yeah!" Schmidt nodded.

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

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

Schmidt's company always wanted to go further.

I heard that this International Materials Academic Conference was held in the Magic City of Xia Kingdom.

Therefore, Schmidt came to Xiaguo, hoping to enter the international academic conference on materials 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 materials scientists, but given his status and the capabilities of his company, those top international materials scientists should not pay attention to him.

Ye Fei and Professor Gao took a car to stay in a hotel.

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

The next day!

Magic City 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, the International Materials Academic Conference will be held here."

"The International Conference on Materials is one of the top materials conferences in the world, inviting many well-known materials scientists and top materials scientists in the world."

"It is reported that many materials scientists from our country have also been invited."

"And our country's mathematician Ye Fei 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 he named C72 fullerene..."

The reporter talked a lot about Ye Fei's contributions to materials science.

Moreover, many reporters present were talking about Ye Fei.

Not just reporters from Xia Guo, but also many foreign reporters.

Mainly because of Ye Fei's discovery of C72 fullerene, the development of lithium battery separators and the fusion of C72 fullerene and non-fullerene.

The first of these three kinds of research is to discover the best fullerene, which is Liguo's bottom line in the field of fullerene.

The second is to let Xia Guo's lithium battery separator break the technical blockade and let Xia Guo master the manufacturing methods of the four core materials of lithium batteries.

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

The research on each of these three is very powerful and has caused an uproar in the international materials field.

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

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

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

Although the young man often surfs the Internet, he has occasionally seen 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 star and 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 young people who are obsessed with life and money every day and only pay attention to women and rarely pay attention to men.

Schmidt nodded and said: "He is engaged 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 photos, nor did he go out of his way to look up Ye Fei's photos.

Moreover, Ye Fei's deeds are rarely exposed on external networks.

Based on what Ye Fei is doing now and his relationship with Beili Country is very bad, it would be a good idea not to ban him.

The young man nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, he is engaged in mathematics, but didn't they say that Ye Fei was engaged in materials?"

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

The young man shook his head and said: "These people with high IQs are really powerful. Even if they are good at math, they can also work on materials."

"You are so smart, if you want to make money, it should be easy!"

Schmidt nodded: "Yes!"

Then, Schmidt said longingly: "It would be great if we could get along well with Ye Fei. If we could cooperate with him, our company would go a step further and become a leading company in certain materials."

Of course, Schmith knew this was impossible.

After all, Ye Fei now has a high status in the materials industry, and the status gap between his company and Ye Fei is huge.

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 and thought to himself: "Aren't these two the two people I met at the airport yesterday? Are they also here to attend the meeting?"

"No, what a coincidence?"

When reporters saw Ye Fei, they quickly gathered around him just like fans seeing a celebrity.

"Hello, Professor Ye, I am a reporter from CCTV Science and Technology Channel. Will you win an award if you participate in this conference?"

"Hello, Professor Ye, I am a reporter from TV Tokyo. Can you tell us in detail about the C72 fullerene you discovered?"

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

"Hello, Professor Ye, I am a reporter from KBS. You fused C72 fullerene and non-fullerene. This is the first example in the world. What are the effects of this fusion?"

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

"Professor Ye..."

Ye Fei faced many reporters helplessly.

Professor Gao had fled long ago because he did not want to be surrounded by reporters.

Ye Feidao: “As for C72 fullerene, this is highly confidential of the research institute, and I don’t want to explain too much.”

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

"Move aside, I have to go to the meeting, thank you, thank you!"

After a long time, Ye Feicai broke away from the reporters and walked quickly to the Lingang Center.

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

"He turned out to be Ye Fei?" Schmidt remembered that he seemed to be rude to Ye Fei at the airport gate yesterday.

Yesterday, Ye Fei walked in front of him and blocked his way, so he directly asked Ye Fei to get out of the way.

Schmidt felt very regretful: "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 he was Ye Fei."

It's not Schmidt's fault. First, he didn't expect that he would meet Ye Fei.

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

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

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

It's like, if someone says that so-and-so is very powerful in front of someone, does that person go to look for this person's photo?

No normal person would do it.

After all, people are inherently lazy and rarely pay attention to and do things that have nothing to do with them.
