Great Power

With the thoughts of people far away, Zheng Jianguo read all the remaining letters and returned them, confirming that Blanco’s Rockefeller Fund did not know when there was news, so the one that was most involved was Qi Provincial Medicine. Fortunately, there is Serena on Hong Kong Island to help share this part in the laboratory of the hospital at this moment, and his remaining energy is devoted to the research of graphene and the tuition of basic physics.

I don’t know if Thomas taught Zheng Jianguo according to his aptitude, or Kou Yang’s whispered letter touched the switch of IQ. After more than a month of research and study, he entered the Harvard Medical School and MIT in August 1979. Before the start of the semester, the experimental team led by Professor Thomas Zheng Jianguo finally came up with results.

The study found that in the mechanical properties of graphene, the theoretical Young's modulus is 1.0 TPa, and the inherent tensile strength is 130 GPa. Even reduced graphene modified by hydrogen plasma has very good strength, with an average modulus of 0.25 TPa. , The resulting graphite paper will be extremely strong and tough.

Just as Zheng Jianguo followed the others and clapped happily, Thomas, who had reconfirmed the results of the repeated tests, pointed to him and said, "Zheng, because you have more experience in writing high-end papers, the mechanics of graphene The characteristic paper is written by you. If you don’t understand, you can ask other people in the lab--"

"Thank you, Professor Thomas."

After Zheng Jianguo's expression was slightly stunned, his face showed joy, a pair of dark eyes swept across the professor's luminous forehead, and he suddenly seemed to be back in front of Ye Minde at the Qi Provincial Medical School, thinking that Thomas was watching him send the "Lancet" When he was arranged to write for many of the papers on the paper, a personal figure suddenly ran out of the transparent glass window of the laboratory. His black face was full of excitement and his hands held the magazine and slapped it on the glass. Lawrence was not far away. His eyes widened and he took a look, then turned his head and his face was full of surprise: "Zheng, it's "Science"!"

"It's on the cover! "The miracle of the tape tear, the discovery of the atomic graphite layer"! zhengjianguo!!!"

When Wallace on the other side cried out, Zheng Jianguo turned his head in surprise and looked at Professor Thomas. The latter smiled gently and said: "Congratulations, Zheng, I think the other professors in the physics department will not To prevent you from obtaining a master's degree with this thesis, of course, you are not the first one in the college with a seventeen-year-old master—"

"Wow!"

There was loud applause, Zheng Jianguo realized that his eyes were hot and his vision was blurred, and his face was gloomy and said: "This, this, this is a master's degree?"

"Congratulations, Zheng!"

"Congratulations, Zheng Jianguo!"

"Congratulations--"

Seeing other people around Zheng Jianguo and beginning to express joy, Thomas’s gentle smile turned into a brilliant face, and he said, “This is already a somewhat low salary. It’s just a matter of giving a Ph.D. a cover paper to Science in other schools. It’s just that who made us MIT, um, now Professor Fisher should know what you discovered—"

"Professor Fisher—"

There was a wry smile on Zheng Jianguo's face. He also inquired about it when he was taking a major in basic physics. After all, as a medical student at Harvard Medical School, it was impossible for him to not know that Harvard University also has a physics department and basic physics elective courses.

It’s just that the address of Harvard University is a bit far enough. If you go to the medical school, you need to pass twice the distance of MIT, then you will leave Boston to Cambridge. The exact location is on the outskirts of Cambridge. He didn’t have a car at that time. I chose the nearest one.

Professor Fisher is the full professor of solid-state physics at Harvard University and the teacher of Zheng Jianguo's elective basic physics courses. At this time, he can even imagine the reaction of the leaders of Harvard University: "Electives can also be electives. Earthshaking?"

"Don't think about it now, do you want to get a PhD? Then write our research into a thesis-the mechanical properties of atomic graphite layers!"

The smile on Thomas's face became brighter and brighter. After speaking, he turned and changed his clothes and left. Zheng Jianguo also understood why he was able to enroll so quickly. Harvard University is one of the Ivy League, and MIT has not yet. Known all over the world for the development of the World Wide Web and the development of computers, the professional aspect is also centered on engineering. Thinking about the scenery of graphene 40 years later, you also understand that a master's degree certificate is too small——

"We should buy some sticky tape—"

When Zheng Jianguo was preparing to start writing, Lawrence's voice came next to him, followed by Ulrika's: "Yes, it's simple, but the scrap rate is too high, Zheng, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Ok--"

Before he wrote the beginning, Zheng Jianguo turned his head to look at this sister, shook his head and said: "I feel that it is better to let the Department of Chemistry study how to increase the viscosity of the tape, so that they can still apply for a patent for this tape, you guys. What do you think?"

"That—that's it."

Ulrika's brown eyes blinked, and two crow's feet lines appeared at the corners of her eyes and said: "Everyone, shall we celebrate at noon?"

"Yes, to celebrate, Zheng, we are not going to a Chinese restaurant this time—oh, you are only 17 years old."

Lawrence was full of excitement. After asking and answering, he remembered that this person could not enter the bar at his age. Ulrika next to him opened the mouth and said, "We can buy some, but who has his own residence?"

Lawrence glanced at Wallace, shook his head and said, "We are all in the dormitory—"

Lanstro and Korwenziqi said, "It's as if we are not—"

"Why don't you go to me."

Zheng Jianguo turned his head and looked at the poor students, and he smiled: "But there is the classroom dormitory. You can bring drinks to buy some wine, but I can't drink them. Don't bring prohibited things. Well, it won’t work with Hi Luoyin, I will call the police if I see—"

"Zheng, none of us will touch those things, you know, we don't even have enough money for our living."

Lanstro's height of 1.9 meters is the most obvious among the few people. Unlike others who only showed two eyes after changing their lab coats, he heard that he could go to Zheng Jianguo's residence at this moment. He was obviously happy: "Listen. Say you still have unreleased games there."

"Well, you guys, um, to celebrate the results of our experiments, and I also have a "Science" paper. Today I invite you to go to my place to play, but you need to run errands for what you buy."

Zheng Jianguo looked at everyone so excited and knew that the experiment during this period was too boring. Several people started tearing tape and sticking graphite since they entered the laboratory. This sticking took more than a month. He naturally did not know the original history. The big guy who tears tape relies on the tape he invented to tear it out.

This is also the reason why Zheng Jianguo’s previous repeated tests have lost so much energy. Insufficient adhesiveness of the tape will cause the peeling effect to deteriorate. Fortunately, it only deteriorates instead of nothing. Fortunately, his goal is only less than ten layers. Graphene, not the single-layer graphene in the original history, so the graduate students headed by Ulrika tore it for a month and a half.

"I'm so sorry--"

Ulrika still maintained the attitude of the previous assistant, but was discouraged by the excitement of the few people next to him, but Zheng Jianguo did not take it seriously, and said with a smile on his face: "Just as thank you for this time. For your help, my grades would not improve so fast without yours.

"All right, Zheng, thank you."

Ulrika agreed on behalf of everyone, and Lanstro immediately raised his hand: "Yeah~"

"Zheng, if you get a Ph.D. in solid state physics, you will be a Ph.D."

Lawrence came to the side of Zheng Jianguo with a happy expression. He looked at the paper he wrote and said with a smile. The latter also said with a smile: "This can't be achieved in a short time. According to the study plan I made to the medical school, it will take at least 3 It takes years to pass the USMLESTPE1, USMLESTEP2 and CSA exams for physician qualifications, but it’s better than the physical derivation, you can learn by rote——"

"All graduates from medical school are doctors. There is no master's degree, but Zheng, you can now be said to be a master's degree in physics—"

Wallace said, leaning on the table next to him, but Ulrika said, "Well, let's quietly let Zheng write the paper. Don't you two do a repeated experiment?"

Wallace and Lawrence lowered their voices together, and Zheng Jianguo was able to concentrate on writing. The notebook next to him recorded the data obtained in a month and a half. The test process was written in accordance with the paper and the data was added. It was less than half. I finished writing in an hour, but I stopped writing when I was about to record the first author. Ulrika’s voice came next to him: "Zheng, let Professor Thomas consider the rest—"

This time Zheng Jianguo participated in the whole experiment for a month and a half. The participants also included the laboratory at this time, as well as other people who started to convene to increase the graphene sample research, so even if there is no Ulrika Wow, he will not list people up carelessly: "Well, we can pack up and set off."

The use and cleaning of the laboratory belongs to whoever uses it. On the one hand, it helps to develop good habits for the students. On the other hand, it strengthens the implementation of the management regulations. Zheng Jianguo said that after putting things away, he did not idle. When we arrived at the cleaning station, the substrate used in the front was still being washed in the buzzing ultrasonic machine, while Ulrika picked up the vacuum cleaner and started cleaning: "Zheng, I heard that minors in your family can drink alcohol. ?"

"Yes, some boys in the 14th Five-Year Plan period will be asked by their fathers and grandfathers to taste, of course, they are just tasting, and they are still restricted if they really drink."

Zheng Jianguo did not expect that she would talk about this issue. Of course, he has a personal understanding of the prohibition of drinking alcohol across the United States for so long. He smiled and said, "But I don’t have so many guns and vehicles at home. Alcohol will promote The acceleration of human blood circulation makes people excited, and it is easy to play a catalytic role in certain things, such as using guns in quarrels——

And if there are no guns, the two greet each other with their fists at most, so that no serious consequences will occur. Of course, we all know that fists can also kill people, such as the head, neck, and heart. So for this Bian's request is not because of the law to comply with it, but because I think so, the alcohol should be adequate."

Ulrika obviously did not expect Zheng Jianguo to be able to say such a thing, her brown eyes looked at him with surprise, and she slowly nodded and said, "This may be a cultural difference--"

After taking out all the substrates from the ultrasound machine, Zheng Jianguo looked at everyone and they all packed up and went to the door to change their clothes, facing the big tall Lancelot who came out and said: "Big man, please go. Run to see and buy something to go to me—"

Looking at Zheng Jianguo and digging out two beautiful green knives from his wallet, Lanstro turned to look at Wallace and raised his eyebrows: "Yeah, Zheng is going to invite us to a big meal, then you guys. Go ahead first, and Wallace Lawrence and I will buy—"

"This little money is not enough for a big meal. When this paper is published, I will ask you to have a big meal~"

Looking at Lanstro to take the money, Zheng Jianguo smiled and said his address again and then stuffed the wallet into his pocket. He now has no more or less money on his body. There are two hundred and forty-nine with zeros. U.S. ninety-nine cents, in order to avoid being robbed and broken if the family cannot be robbed, and left to anyone who robs, especially if the penny of the robbery with a gun is not robbed. .

"Then let's go first~"

Lanstro raised his chin at Lawrence and Wallace, and the three of them left happily. As Ulrika changed his clothes and came out, Zheng Jianguo said: "I have to send the professor a paper. Wait for me by the car."

After more than a month of getting along, Ulrika’s small team of graduate students is familiar with each other a lot. Of course, as the only member of the small team to participate as a teaching assistant, she is also the only woman. She turned around and changed her clothes. Colwyn and Bodie, who locked the door, nodded in response.

Thomas’ office is on the third floor. Zheng Jianguo didn’t see him even after he delivered the paper, so he left and took Ulrika and the three people back to the dormitory. Only when he took out the key, he wanted to insert the key into the key, and he saw that he put it in the door. The hair mark caught in the seam disappeared.

As Zheng Jianguo's eyes shrank, he turned his head and glanced at the three of them, and made a silent gesture, lying on the door, Ulrika next to him, with a slight change of complexion, took a step back and opened his right hand. Zheng Jianguo has inserted the key and clicked. Open, and when there was no one in the room, Colwyn next to him said: "Why, there are others in this room?"

"No, I live here by myself."

Zheng Jianguo looked at the situation in the room left and right, and said to the three people who looked suspicious: "When I left, I made a mark on the position of the door, which is the hinge. The previous mark is gone--"

"Would you like to call the police?"

Brown eyes swept across the hinges on the door slightly, Ulrika asked with curiosity and saw Zheng Jianguo enter the house: "No, except for a valuable bulletproof vest at home, everything else is worthless— —"
