Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Rui met Wu Huamin outside Guanghua Building. new

Teacher Wu Huamin still looks like that. He is less than forty years old, but he feels very tired, just like staying up late every day.

He originally wanted to refuse the hassle of taking students to the laboratory, but he felt a little better when he learned that it was Zhou Rui who was taking him. Zhou Rui left a deep impression on him during the previous conversation.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the magnetron sputtering side."

On the way, Wu Huamin said: "I heard that you first wanted to see the battery project team?"

Zhou Rui nodded and said: "Yes, but it doesn't matter. The main thing is that I want to see something."

Wu Huamin used the leather-covered notebook in his hand to cover the dazzling sunlight and said: "There are no battery-related project teams on the main campus. Some of them are in the Zhangjiang campus, and some are directly in various cooperative companies."

"How many?"

Wu Huamin smiled and said: "Of course, batteries are a hot field. Countless universities, companies and individuals around the world are researching it. Especially in the past two years, the mobile Internet has developed rapidly and the popularity remains high. According to the type of materials, there is iron phosphate. Lithium, sodium ion, ternary, etc., some project teams are even only responsible for a certain structure or a certain process among them."

As he spoke, Wu Huamin pointed to his nose:

"Scientific research is like an old scalper with two rings tied to its nose. One is called the market and the other is called policy. Wherever the ring pulls, the cow will go. New."

Zhou Rui nodded: "It's a very vivid metaphor."

With that said, the two came to the second floor of Materials, which is one of the dedicated buildings of Fuda's "School of Chemistry and Materials".

After walking through the corridor, Wu Huamin first took Zhou Rui to the locker room and changed into a series of laboratory clothes such as lab coats, dust caps, and shoe covers.

Wu Huamin: "Don't feel troublesome. I was a senior who burned a hole in his face because of a splash of chemical solution."

Zhou Rui smiled and said: "I understand, it's the same as car seat belts. If you fasten them, you won't necessarily get into trouble. Accidents will happen if you don't fasten them."

The laboratory was much smaller than Zhou Rui had imagined, with only three rooms. The moment Wu Huamin opened the door, several students inside quickly stood up and said hello.

These students wearing lab coats, some are graduate students, some are PhDs. Although they can't recognize Zhou Rui's face, they can still tell that Zhou Rui is very young. I don't know which boss opened the back door. Why is he so young coming to the laboratory? .

Wu Huamin ignored the curiosity of the students below and began to introduce.

"Each metal has many unique characteristics, but in some scenarios we are not allowed to use conventional metal materials, which are too expensive and heavy. You can understand "magnetron sputtering" as a spray painting process, using metal particles as paint. Treat the electromagnetic field as the hand that controls the spray gun, and use electrons to collide with the target material, so that the metal particles can be evenly distributed on a certain plane, usually a thin film. Different materials have different effects. New🅇.🄲🄾🄼"

Having said this, Wu Huamin looked at Zhou Rui:

"Does it sound very advanced? What about collisions, particles, electromagnetic fields, etc."

Zhou Rui nodded slowly, at least it sounded quite bluffing.

Wu Huamin smiled and said: "Don't be frightened. This is already a very mature technology. It was launched in the 1970s, but the technology has been iterating and the application scenarios are gradually increasing."

"Currently, the most high-end application is semiconductor optical film, and the most user-friendly application is automobile film. Our project team is a relatively pragmatic one."

The word pragmatic is used very well.

Wu Huamin briefly explained the principles, but spent more time explaining the various rules, regulations and operating mechanisms of the laboratory. He felt that this was what Zhou Rui should know in advance.

Zhou Rui also listened very carefully. After walking around in a circle, Zhou Rui said curiously: "It feels like there are not many devices here."

The only large equipment he saw was a "magnetron sputtering coating machine", which was about the size of a mobile toilet.

Wu Huamin said: "Due to the limited space, the school only retains a small number of necessary equipment for research. The rest are in the factories of cooperative companies. Other basic equipment is shared by the whole building."

Zhou Rui touched his chin and said, "I remember you said that your research direction is metalloenzymes?"

"That's true, but like I just said, the old scalper has no one to pull him away, so he can only stand there and starve to death. Without a project team in the same direction, he can't apply for it by himself, so he can only choose to go first. After all, I’m just the deputy here.”

Zhou Rui thinks Wu Huamin is quite interesting. It can be seen that his scientific research path is not smooth, but his words are quite interesting.

Afterwards, Wu Huamin took Zhou Rui to sort out some experimental procedures and popularize some laboratory instructions. Finally, he took Zhou Rui to the public conference room on the second floor of the material.

"The visit to You is almost over. Next is the so-called assessment test. To be honest, I don't know what to test for the tasks assigned by the boss, so I prepared this."

Wu Huamin used the computer and projection screen in the conference room to bring up a document.

is a paper.

"Study on surface modification of adhesion between metal coatings and organic substrates"

"This is a thesis written by a graduate student in our group. Take a look at it. How much can you understand?"

In Wu Huamin's estimation, Zhou Rui was only a freshman after all. Even if he was "advance on-demand", he would consider himself qualified if he could understand 30%. The writing of this paper was not outstanding, and it was not even qualified for publication, but for The undergraduate stage, especially the freshman year, is still very difficult.

But Zhou Rui was even better than he thought. In less than half an hour, he finished reading the 24-page paper, and he asked a few questions. Zhou Rui was a little weak in the part involving physics, but he was basically right in other parts.

Especially the knowledge in the fields of chemistry and mathematics is very solid, not like a freshman at all.

Wu Huamin thought that you ordered too many advanced on-demand videos.

"No wonder you want to apply to enter the laboratory. With your current professional knowledge, you are no worse than a junior or senior. You will have no problem getting into the laboratory."

Zhou Rui sent a compliment: "Teacher teaches well."

Wu Huamin grinned and did not answer. He knew best what kind of situation he was going through in class.

Just a textbook singer

Wu Huamin turned off the computer, leaving only the hum of the fan in the conference room.

"Let's do this for today. I will report your situation to the college. I don't think it's a big problem, but you have to be mentally prepared. Even if you enter the laboratory, you will probably be doing odd jobs. After all, seniority is the rule everywhere. Have you thought about the direction? I estimate that as long as you open your mouth and it doesn't involve confidentiality, the college will agree."

Zhou Rui thought for a while and suddenly said: "What if I want to come to your place?"

There's another chapter in the works
