Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

In a round of applause, the speech is finally over.

Put down the chalk in his hand and watch the audience under the audience, Lu Zhou is nodded with satisfaction.

This year’s audience is okay.

At least it is much stronger than at the MRS conference.

Obviously, the professors who studied crystal chemistry and physics chemistry still understand his theory.

After those who went back, there was a scholar who had in-depth research on his thesis, and he also understood 70% or more here.

Such a result is fairly acceptable to him.

As the award ceremony for the Adams Chemistry Awards came to an end, the opening ceremony came to an end.

After the official start of the Organic Chemistry Symposium, Lu Zhou temporarily put the joy of the award aside and participated in the academic exchange meeting with a learning attitude.

As the saying goes, living to the old age, even if it is standing in the frontier of research, there are many things that he needs to learn.

It’s just that the study here has changed in form compared to the study of the student era. For a knowledge-creating Scholar, it is more about focusing on sharing discussions with peers, reading literature, listening to reports, etc. than learning from books.

This time, the Organic Chemistry seminar gave him such an opportunity and really benefited him.

On the afternoon of the next day, Lu Zhou, who had just listened to an Organic Chemistry lecture, gave herself a cup of coffee, went to the lounge area and found a corner to sit down and quietly sorted out the notes she had collected.

In the previous meeting, a researcher showed a non-fullerene organic solar cell, and presented a fluorinated binary heterojunction battery current-voltage curve and the highest photoelectric conversion efficiency curve. .

The data on this picture is very beautiful.

Although he is not researching photovoltaic materials, he still has some research on fullerene materials. And what interests him the most is the part of thesis about analytical mathematics. It is good to see the mathematics of thesis author. He plans to spend some time studying it.

However, at this moment, the sound of high heels sounded next to him, and a blonde beauty sat across from him.

Being disturbed, Lu Zhou looked up and looked at the beautiful woman sitting opposite from the line of sight.

“you are?”

Grinning and smiling, the blond beauty extended a right hand to him. “My name is Roy, I am very glad to meet you.”

“I am also very happy to meet you…” After shaking hands with her and loosening, Lu Zhou asked in a puzzled voice, “Which university are you studying?”

“I am a master’s degree at Harvard University, but not a chemistry major.”

It seems that it is not to recommend letters.

Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow: “Reporter in the journalism department?”

Blindly, Roy mysteriously evoked the corner of his mouth: “between the two.”

Lu Zhou laughed and said: “Is it a writer?”

“Yes!” Roy snapped a finger and blinked at him. “I am a science writer.”

Is it really a novel?

Although there are still many differences between popular science works and novels.

Lu Zhou laughed and asked with interest: “I didn’t expect to be interested in my research. It’s not just companies and media. I wonder why you are looking for me?”

Roy: “In fact, I signed up for this Organic Chemistry seminar, mainly to find inspiration for writing. I didn’t expect to hit the awards scene of the Adams Chemistry Award.”

Lu Zhou laughed said: “I guess you didn’t understand my speech.”

“I really didn’t understand it, but it didn’t prevent your speech from inspiring me a lot, especially your insights on energy and materials, so that my inspiration came from my mind,” looked at Lu seriously. Zhou, the woman said in a sincere tone, “I have a few questions I would like to ask you. I don’t know if I can take up your time?”

Looking at the misty mist on the coffee cup, Lu Zhou thought about the next itinerary and said in a relaxed tone: “…I have time before I finish the coffee.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t delay you for a long time.” Roy smiled, not knowing where to change the shorthand and a pen, and quickly began to ask questions, “So, the first question…”

Roy asked some very shallow questions, or science.

Lu Zhou uses the language he knows as much as possible, and he corrects some of the misconceptions that have been misunderstood by the media.

Time passed quickly.

When he finished his coffee, Roy just asked all the questions and put away the shorthand and the pen in his hand.

“Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to answer my questions. After my work is published successfully, I will send you a copy for free.”

Lu Zhou Played with a smile : “With signature?”

Roy smiled and said: “If you need it, let me sign it.”

Paused, she continued in a joking tone.

“This is my business card, I am very interested in you, maybe we can talk in depth.”

Leaving a business card with a contact information, the blond beauty glanced at Lu Zhou with a sly look, leaving a scent of wind and got up and walked away.

Looking at her back, Lu Zhou smiled and shook her head.

In-depth communication?

forget it.

Even the Cornell University’s Professor can’t understand my theory. It’s too white to communicate with you.

Just then, an unexpected acquaintance came over.

Looked at Roy’s back, Carrotit said with ease.

“Your taste is good.”

Lu Zhou asked casually: “Do you need me to ask you for a call?”

“It sounds very appealing,” said Carlo, sitting on the sofa where Roy had sat. Carudit stared at Lu Zhou and said, “But I am not coming to talk to you about women.”

Didn’t you mention this first?

Lu Zhou glanced at him silently and put away the business card in his hand.

“So, are you coming to talk to me?”

Carrotit said: “Don’t talk about anything, just to tell you a bad news.”

Lu Zhou’s eyebrows lifted slightly: “Oh?”

Carrotit said with a serious face: “Mobil Chemical intends to intervene in the production of lithium-sulfur battery materials, not only that, they found Stanley Professional!”

That’s it…

I thought that it was Lu Zhou of the major event, a faceless expression.

“Oh, I already know.”

Carrotit slammed down and quickly responded with an alert: “Wood has already found you?”

Lu Zhou nodded, replied in a relaxed tone: “Yes, just the night before, when I first arrived in San Francisco, he and Stanley Professor came here to visit me.”

Caro Ditt’s eyes glanced around and asked, “Which step did they take?”

Lu Zhou slightly frowned : “What step?”

Carrotit sighed: “Of course it’s research progress… and so on, you shouldn’t be, don’t ask them anything?”

Lu Zhou gave him a strange look: “What do I need to ask them?”

Carrotit: “…”

Looking at the incredible expression on Carnotit’s face, Lu Zhou was lightly sighed. “To be honest, I don’t quite understand why you are so careful.”

“That’s because you don’t understand how terrifying the market prospects for sulphur batteries are,” said Caro Ditt, who sighed apocalypse and suppressed the voice. “Listen, Mobil is also studying lithium sulphur.” Battery cathode materials, and their research and development direction is also based on carbon-carbon composites of hollow carbon spheres! And you have helped them a lot, you should not publish the two thesis in Science!”

Even if Umicore, the old rival of Umicore, took the lead in researching this technology, it would not make Carnott so nervous.

However, Exxon Mobil is not the same.

This cross-disciplinary oil giant naturally walks on the upstream of their chemical industry chain, and naturally has a unique advantage in the cost of raw materials.

Once Exxon Mobil became interested in the cathode material of lithium-sulfur batteries, it was not from the mouth of Umicore that it took a piece of meat, but cut a piece of meat from all of their chemical giants.

Just as there is a gap between genius and genius, there is a gap between the giant and the giant.

however……

What does this have to do with Lu Zhou?

He is not a shareholder of Umicore.

“I don’t agree with you. The value of academics can only be sublimated in communication.” Lu Zhou is slightly frowned, “And my own research, published or not published, need to discuss with you?”

“No, I don’t mean this,” he noticed the dissatisfaction in Lu Zhou’s tone. Carrotit quickly eased his tone of voice and explained, “I admire your confidence, but the problem is that confidence has to be seen. You know, your competitors are Exxon Mobil! They have already added 50 million dollars to Stanley Professional in order to start this battle! Do you understand what it means?”

Looking at Carmarty, who was in a hurry, Lu Zhou didn’t know how to comfort him.

Obviously, Umicore is also studying the cathode material of lithium-sulfur batteries, and has invested a lot of money in ambitious, ready to take the lead in this project. In a sense, Lu Zhou and Umicore are also competitors in the lithium-sulfur battery project, but the competition is not as strong as that of Umicore and Mobil.

If Lu Zhou first researched it, and Umicore made a part of the profit at the top, then he was researched by Nichia, and at most it was only a knife. But if you let Mobil’s ambitious boasting giants take the lead, it is to die.

It is precisely because of this, Lu Zhou’s two thesis, suddenly let them panic.

Especially in the case of racing with Mobil Chemical, no one knows how many meters away from the finish line. These two thesis are like time bombs, which makes Carnotte unable to sleep.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou is also very uncomfortable.

But even if he is re-selected, he will still make the same choice as before.

Paused, Lu Zhou tried to comfort the sentence with a gentle tone.

“Let’s relax, I never took you as a competitor.”

Carrotit: “…”
