Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

If Ark knew what Professor Stanley was thinking, he would look at him crying.

Heaven and earth conscience, he really hasn't spent so much time thinking, playing games on such boring things.

Because this is not necessary for him at all...

Rest in the room all night, nothing to say all night.

The following day, a seminar on organic chemistry, organized by the American Chemical Institute, was officially held.

Scholars from all over the world, from native American scholars and from China across the Pacific.

At 9: 00 a.m., heads were saved in a large venue with no missing seats.

Although there is still an hour to go before the ceremony officially begins, many people are already sitting there early.

The biennial Roger Adams Chemistry Awards ceremony was the premiere of the opening ceremony of this seminar on organic chemistry and will not be easily missed by any scholar who comes to the conference.

As the first Chinese scholar to receive the medal, the award ceremony was also well received.

On the way to the backstage to prepare, the ark ran into a CTV reporter who was ambushed halfway.

Looking at the lady who approached him with a microphone, the ark unexpectedly felt somewhat familiar. At that point, he suddenly remembered that at the Crawford Prize ceremony in Stockholm, he also appeared to have interviewed himself.

I have to say, fate is an incredible thing.

With a smile on her face, the reporter lady asked in a nice voice: "Professor Lu, can I take five minutes? ”

It's an hour away from the curtain, and there's still five minutes.

Plus the boat was in a good mood, and he said with joy, "Sure. ”

Miss Reporter handed out the microphone: “How do you feel now? ”

The ark replied in a funny way: "The question seems to have been asked a little too soon, and the medal is still in Professor Berstan's hands. ”

Miss Journalist smiled and continued: “In other words, you are the first Chinese scholar to receive this honor. I'm sure you must be excited at this moment, right? ”

The Ark laughed and said, "There was excitement, but that was two months ago, when I was notified of the award. ”

“Much of the public's impression of you stems from your testimony to Gothenbach's speculation and the Crawford Prize honor," the journalist continued. As a mathematician, I'm sure a lot of people will be surprised that you won the Adams Chemistry Award. Excuse me, what really interests you about chemistry? ”

The Ark thought, not directly answering the question, but smiled back and asked: "Remember what I said to you in Stockholm, on similar occasions? ”

Miss reporter was slightly stunned, and then Guan Er smiled: “I remember Professor Lu said that the significance of mathematics is to change science. ”

“Yes, mathematics is about changing science,” the ark nodded in favor of the location and nodded in favor of the memory of the young lady, "and what I'm doing now is trying to change chemistry. ”

……

The interview lasted only five minutes.

As the opening ceremony progressed, the time for awards soon arrived.

In a round of applause, the Ark came to the podium and took a gold medal from the President of the American Chemical Society, Professor Bruce E. Berstein, as well as a silver watch.

Giving silver to the winners is a tradition of awarding the Adams Chemical Award, and each edition of the gift is different.

This silver watch looks small and has an ACS club badge engraved on the back. Apart from the finely carved pattern, the watch should be worth a fortune, but the precious one is insignificant compared to the glory of the Adams Chemical Award.

Shaking hands with the ark, Professor Berstein said in a solemn tone.

“The development of new energy is linked to the fate of all of us and to the future of our civilization. Thank you for your contribution to the world, and your research results buy us more time for our future. ”

It turns out that this watch has this significance.

The honor was solemnly taken from the old professor, and the Ark was pleased to say, "Thank you. ”

A round of applause sounded in the room.

In a thunderous applause, the award ended.

However, the award ceremony is not over, although the award is over.

In accordance with the usual practice of awarding the Roger Adams Chemical Prize, the winner will also deliver a speech not exceeding 60 minutes.

The content of this section is clearly of greater concern than a simple award ceremony.

With that pair of gazing eyes, the ark held up the microphone and slowly began to speak.

“Materials, energy and information technology are the three pillars of modern science and technology, yet in addition to information technology, our research in both materials and energy has been slow in the past half century. ”

“Yet, in fact, academia is not doing nothing about it, as the outside world misunderstands it, and every day new technologies are born in laboratories in some corner of the world. And I'm sure you all know that we don't lack new materials, but we don't have what we need. ”

“I think the reason for this is that we lack a systematic theoretical basis and can only look for the materials we need based on the scientific intuition of researchers. ”

“And that's my motivation for studying computational materials," he paused for a moment, looking at the scholars in the room, and the ark continued, "I think, with rigorous calculations, what we need is actually predictable. By calculating, we can save a lot of money and time. ”

When I heard that, the professors and scholars in the field were at a pause.

Shit, this guy isn't gonna start selling his math proof again, is he?!

“… Next, my report will be conducted in a semi-accademic manner. ”

A number of scholars under the stage relieved themselves of this sentence, especially several poor mathematics professors of chemistry, and showed a relieved expression.

There is no doubt that computational materialism is a promising research direction, and its value is recognized by the general views of academia, but the theory put forward by Professor Lu is too difficult to understand.

Although many professors studying crystal chemistry and nanomaterials have some knowledge of the principles of geometry and topology, this understanding is far from being in-depth, but only shallow because of professional needs.

But now it seems their fears are superfluous.

The Ark said that it was a semi-accademic speech, and it would definitely not talk about things that were difficult to understand as soon as they came up.

“… When I studied the effect of the pore size and specific surface area of carbon nanospheres on the diffusion rate of polysulfur compounds, using polyaniline ⁃ polypyrrole copolymers as precursors and polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride as pore making agents, I prepared a series of products that I needed in a simple carbide reaction. ”

Speaking, the ark picked up chalk from the podium, drew a simple molecular model on the blackboard behind it, and labeled it with data such as surface area and aperture.

Until this point, it's very shallow and easy to understand.

However, just as everyone was relaxed, the ark stopped the chalk in its hand and thought for a moment before continuing.

“When I studied these products, I discovered some interesting things...”

Soon he wrote down the first line of the formula.

Then, it just got out of order...

Sitting in the back row of the reporting room, Woods was somewhat anxious to look to the right.

Prior to becoming CEO of ExxonMobil, he was an engineer, not without any knowledge of research in the chemical field. Even if no research work has been done, the paper is understandable.

Now, however, what's on the board is that he's creating the illusion that his PhD is fake.

Taking a deep breath, Woods looked at Professor Stanley sitting next to him and lowered his voice to ask.

“Semi-academic reports are always so hard to understand? ”

Professor Stanley's expression was somewhat subtle, and it took a long time to ask.

“Generally not...”

But obviously.

This is not the general situation.
