Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

With a defeated look on his face, Carodite sighed and said helplessly.

“I admire your dedication and confidence in science. Hope to consider us if you succeed. ”

"Depending on the circumstances, I wouldn't mind continuing to work with you on the new project if the cooperation with the modified PDMS materials was satisfactory to me. ”

Carodite's face finally revealed a smile.

“Well, good luck… By the way, I'd like to ask, do you really think that the direction of the hollow carbon ball could be the key to solving the shuttle effect? Don't get me wrong, I'm not spying on your research, just...”

“I did say something like that at the seminar on lithium-sulfur batteries, but I hope you don't over-read it," replied the ark with a headache, "I'm just looking good, but I'm not saying it's definitely going to work. ”

It's already unknown how many people asked him that question.

With academic honesty, the Ark will surely be responsible for every word it says. But seeing so many people, because of his words, showed an interest in hollow carbon balls that transcended friendship, he couldn't help but panic.

What if there's a dozen faces?

Isn't it too late?

He now has some understanding of why the old Scottish professor named Peter Bruce, after countless facial punches, was desperate to blow his water paper away.

It is not just a matter of funding.

You pretend to be forced, and you have to keep pretending to be in tears.

Look, I need to push myself harder...

Carodite Haha laughed: “I'm just asking, don't worry about it. ”

But that look on his face doesn't seem like a random question...

Carodito did not stay too long in Kinda until the instrument was delivered to the experimental building and left.

Although it was unfortunate that it had not been possible to reach a cooperative R&D agreement with the Ark, it was merely regrettable for him. Research is like gambling, and even top scholars can't guarantee that they'll make a difference.

At best, it would be the same if we waited for the results before working with him on patent issues.

……

With the first experimental instruments in place, the Ark is no longer just an empty experimental building at the Institute on the side of Jinling.

According to Qian Zhongming's phone call from Belgium, the last set of instruments has also departed, and he and Liu Bo will return home in about two days.

I can't wait to hear Qian Zhongming's voice on the phone.

After all, that's tens of millions of dollars of imported equipment, which is impossible for a researcher to say without moving.

It was not just Brother Qian in Belgium who was eyeing the equipment. Less than a day after the instrument had just been brought into the experimental building, Dean Li of the courtyard smelled the wind and approached the door.

“Dude, this thing's got to be tens of millions.” Reach out and touch the glossy surface of the instrument, what the old gentleman thinks of it and how he likes it.

The study of semiconductors, nanometers and other fields is inseparable from high-resolution microscopes, images collected by ordinary electron microscopes, and images collected by scanning electroscopes, arguably a heavenly and underground difference.

And there are many different types of scanning electrons.

The price gap between middle- and high-end tungsten filament gun scanning lenses, which have a resolution of around 3nm and field firing gun scanning lenses of less than 0.8nm, is also the difference between heaven and earth.

Whether scanning an imaging lens on an electron mirror, an electronic gun and accelerator tube, or even a high-voltage generator and cryogenic sample room, the ark is equipped to the standards of the top lab.

Although expensive, every penny is worth every penny, and in the long run, this investment will never be lost.

Not only do researchers resemble poor affluence, but so do major journals.

It's no exaggeration to say that experimenting with a bullshit scanning electroscope, you're root hair down and sweeping, it's all an SCI. Experimenting with regular electron microscopes makes the data even better, and it's hard to get into Nature and Science.

Kim Dae's garden isn't without scanning the mirrors, but there's really no equipment like this.

Not only does the chemistry have to use this, but the life sciences faculty next door has to use it, and the opportunities allocated to each professor are quite limited, and students who write doctoral theses have to apply in advance for queues.

The Reachers have been trying to add a new scanning mirror to the compound, but have not applied for it.

“It's not as exaggerated as 10 million, it looks like 89 million,” the ark laughed with embarrassment, but soon came up with something, adding, "It's just the dollar. ”

Eighty-nine million dollars.

No more than 45 million RMB?

After listening to the ark, Le Hacienda's eyebrows twitched hard.

Speak sour and wasteful, they use their own money again.

He had no other feelings in his heart than envy.

“You can't afford to spend money… just because you're using it, you're afraid that the whole experiment will go down and put hundreds of millions of dollars into it. ”

The ark shook its head, saying: "You can save elsewhere, but not on equipment, and rigorous mathematical models need rigorous data to support them. ”

In fact, it's not as exaggerated as the Li Theatre said. This scanning mirror basically accounts for the bulk of the cost. Other laboratory equipment such as CVD vacuum tube furnaces, arc rooms, Fourier infrared spectrometers, etc. are equally expensive, but they don't cost much.

Of course, even if it didn't cost much, the Ark didn't want to save on these devices.

There is no problem with surrendering research dogs on wages, but you must not surrender your own people on equipment.

After all, the data were inaccurate, the samples needed could not be made, the experiment always failed, not only made the research dogs irritable, but the pit ended up being the owner himself.

Moreover, the equipment was not disposable, and the project had been used and could continue to be used in the next project.

As planned by the Ark, $50 million was invested in a phase one, and when the project was over, he would consider an additional $50 million in investments to equip his research institute with a range of equipment, including nuclear microscopes, transmission electroscopes and other equipment, to build the country's top materials laboratories.

It's no exaggeration to say that a lot of people are willing to work for nothing on these devices in his lab.

After all, with the little boss who has no money, no future, even a second district SCI has to focus on fighting. With a big owner like the Ark, he mixed two top SCIs in this kind of top lab, and after going out, the price of the whole person was different.

For some poorly mixed research dogs, as long as the food is kept in check, nothing is wrong with working for nothing.

Although helpless, it is also one of the status quo in the academic community.

Dean Pear couldn't resist the emotion: “You really can't learn computational materials. ”

In the past, he held a meeting to discuss whether or not to open a department of computational materials in Jinda. Now it seems that it is not just professors that are missing, but money that is real.

“Yeah," the ark said with emotion, "actually, I was going to go over the counter. ”

Ultrasound is the nuclear weapon of computational materialism, just like “Anton” of computational chemistry.

Qualitative calculations, a piece of paper and a pen are enough, but if quantitative calculations are to be made, and even experimental data are used to accurately simulate a polymeric space model, this has nothing to do with mathematics. Even if algebra and geometry are better, that kind of computation is not something that the human brain can solve.

But after buying $50 million worth of equipment, the assets shrunk dramatically, and it was impossible to say that it didn't hurt at all.

In order to avoid strain on research funding, he intended to postpone it until the results of the new projects had been achieved.

At this point, the Ark suddenly noticed that Dean Li, standing next to the scanning mirror, suddenly stopped talking and was forced to stand still.

“What's the matter? ”

Dean Li: “…”

Didn't care about the ark.

He doesn't want to say a word at this moment.
