Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Throughout North America, samples sent from the Silicon Valley Salot Laboratory were finally sent to the Frick Chemical Laboratory.

After the package was signed, the ark came to the rented laboratory with samples.

He had only recently learned that, in addition to applying for a scientific research fund at the school, the Frick Chemical Laboratory offered not only paid third-party testing services, but that the laboratory could be rented for a fee and the machine could be purchased.

Third-party testing services are generally more expensive, moving tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, although renting instruments for experimentation is an acceptable price range.

After completing the instrument rental process, Ark and Professor Chirick made a telephone call and lent him a PhD student as an assistant.

Just like last time, this time it was Connie.

This guy is a lot stronger than he was when he saw him last year, just like a football player.

Looking at Connie with a smile on his face, the ark looked a little strange.

“Have you moved on to biology? ”

“No,” Connie stunned, “why do you ask? ”

“Nothing...” The ark shook its head, "Forget it, when I said nothing. ”

It always felt like if his physique continued to expand, he had the potential to develop into Hulk the Hulk.

But when you say that, it hurts.

“... Actually, I know what you're trying to say,” Connie sighed and scratched his head with some agony, "just because I was too big, Professor Chirick would always keep me from touching those experimental instruments and worrying about me breaking those things. ”

“That's too...” Looking down at Connie, the Ark doesn't know how to comfort him. “Anyway, I wouldn't do that to you. ”

Professor Creech is also a big guy to talk about, and he's at least a little forward on the basketball field.

I wiped my nose, and Connie moved, “Really? What do you need me to do? ”

The ark glimpsed some subtle glances at the scanning electrons in the lab and eventually couldn't let go: “Anyway... you want to help me process the samples, you probably will. ”

Connie grinned: "Wrap it around me! ”

After removing more than thirty samples sealed in a small glass tank and giving Connie some precautions, the ark carefully removed a small amount of black powder from the glass tank labeled Sample No. 1 and mixed and shaken with ionic water.

Prior to delivery, Sarott had processed the samples, which, in addition to containing a small amount of impurities that could not be filtered, had reached laboratory purity without further filtration.

But it's definitely not going to be possible to just plug the sample in and observe, and the reunification of the hollow carbon sphere itself can make the observation worse.

With Connie's assistance, the Ark was tired of ultrasonic dispersion of each sample before carefully sampling with a tap dropper and dropping all the sample drops onto the copper sheet in turn.

“Done! ”

Finally, all the samples were processed and the breathtaking ark dropped the last piece of copper, stretched a lazy waist and moved a somewhat stiff neck down.

Since the carbon material itself is a conductive material, it is fairly simple to process, and this is done. In the case of insulator material, the sample must also be evaporated gold.

Does that sound expensive?

It's not really expensive.

Gold is a relatively cheap consumable, at least compared to other precious metals and organic reagents consumed by laboratories. For these samples sent from Sarot, the average cost per milligram is over $100.

So there's a reason why the Ark should be so careful. After all, all he spends on experiments is his own money.

Fortunately, Connie, who was on the sidelines as an assistant, did not fail to live up to his hopes, and not a single sample was messed up. Put down the last piece of copper and Connie looks at the ark and asks.

“My side is okay, what are we going to do next? ”

After thinking about it, the ark said, "Let's scan it with a scanning mirror. ”

The rest of the work was simple: the vessel operated the instrument in a systematic manner, glued the copper sheet containing the sample onto the conductive tape of the sample holder, and then fed the entire sample chamber.

Confirms that the vacuum pressure in the sample chamber is maintained at a steady value, while the ark speaks to itself and skilfully inputs parameters.

“The emission current is set at 10 μA, the working distance is 8 mm, the scanning mode is Sei...”

Through the two joysticks on the sample controller, the ark carefully moved the position of the sample table and Connie, standing in front of the computer, adjusted the appendix and acceleration voltage as he requested.

With this step in place, all the work is ready.

Finally, it's time to harvest the winning fruit.

This process is much easier and more enjoyable than the cumbersome and complex operations ahead.

By computer adjusting control resolution, adjusting acceleration voltage and working distance, switching detectors, the ark can easily collect whatever data he wants.

Looking at the machine at work, Connie operating the computer couldn't help but be emotional.

“This thing works so much better than regular electron microscopes. ”

“That's necessary,” the Ark laughed and said, "If the experiment goes well, I can give it to you when there's no time left. ”

Connie was so excited, "Really? Thank you so much! ”

Although his boss also had scanning glasses available, it was clear that Professor Chirick would not waste his time on his student's doctoral thesis. After all, there are so many of his students that he can't handle them anymore.

At this moment, standing in front of him, the ark is like an angel, oh no, God.

Ark laughed and said less carelessly: "Of course it's true. As long as you do as I say, I won't let you work for nothing. ”

With the promise of the Ark, Connie has obviously become more robust.

As the resolution gradually expands, at the nm scale, the microstructure of the hollow carbon sphere is presented unreservedly in front of the two.

Looking at a swept image, the ark suddenly moved in its heart.

Reminds me of something about him and says immediately.

“Connie, help me screen these samples for hollow carbon nanospheres with a surface area between [2326m2g-1, 3762m2g-1] and a diameter between [60nm-70nm]! ”

“Okay,” Connie said immediately after comparing the data, "… Reporting Professor, samples 11, 14, 15, 23 all meet your requirements, any further instructions? ”

Remove the corresponding glass tank from the sample price, and the ark stares at the black powder in the glass tank and says to Connie on his back.

“I need you to do one thing now. ”

Connie said seriously: "You do as you're told. ”

“Help me borrow a battery tester, and a snap-on battery mold,” looked around the lab, and the ark continued, "and some samples of monosomal sulfur. ”

“I'm going to do a big thing. ”
