Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

In a round of applause, the speech finally ended.

Dropping the chalk in his hand, he looked down at the audience, and the ark nodded satisfactorily in his heart.

This audience is fine.

Much better than at MRS meetings, at least.

Obviously, the professors who studied crystal chemistry and physical chemistry understood his theory.

And when they went back, there were scholars who had done in-depth research on his thesis, and here they understood more than 70 percent.

The result was acceptable to him.

The opening ceremony came to an end as the award ceremony for the Adams Chemical Prize came to an end.

Once the organic chemistry symposium had officially begun, the Ark temporarily set aside the joy of winning the award and participated in the academic exchange meeting with a learning mindset.

The saying is that there are many things that need to be learned even if he is at the forefront of research.

It's just that learning here, compared to studenthood, has changed in form. For a knowledge-generating scholar, the focus is more on discussing with peers, reading literature, listening to reports, etc., than on learning from books.

And this organic chemistry seminar gave him such an opportunity, and it did make him feel very beneficial.

The following afternoon, after listening to an organic chemistry lecture on the ark, I made myself a cup of coffee and went to the rest area to find a corner to sit down and quietly organize the notes I had collected earlier.

At the earlier meeting, a researcher presented a non-fullerene organic solar cell and gave a fluorinated binary heterogeneous junction cell curve of current-voltage and maximum photoelectric conversion efficiency.

The data on this graph is very beautiful.

Although he does not study photovoltaic materials, he does some research on fullerene materials. And what interests him most is the part of the paper about mathematical analysis, and it turns out that the author of the paper has a good mathematical record, and he intends to spend some time researching it.

However, at this point, a high heeled shoe sounded next to him, and a beautiful blonde sitting opposite him.

Disturbed by the thought, the ark raised its head and looked at the beautiful woman sitting opposite it with an interrogated gaze.

“Who are you?”

Smiling his mouth, the blonde beauty reached out to him with her right hand, "My name is Roy. Nice to meet you. ”

“It was also a pleasure to meet you…” he shook his hand with her and, after releasing himself, asked the ark in a questionable tone, "Are you a student of any university? ”

“I'm a master at Harvard University, but I'm not a chemistry major. ”

Looks like we're not here for a letter of recommendation.

The ark picked the eyebrows: “Journalists? ”

Blinking, Roy mysteriously pulled up the corner of his mouth: “Between them. ”

Ark laughed and said, “Are you still a writer? ”

“Correct!” Roy punched a ringing finger and blinked at him, "I'm a Cop writer. ”

Are you really writing a novel?

Though there are many differences between Cops and novels.

Ark laughed and asked with interest, "I didn't expect to be interested in my research not just in business and the media, I was curious what you wanted from me? ”

Roy: "In fact, I signed up for this organic chemistry seminar, mainly to find inspiration for writing, and I didn't expect to run into the Adams Chemistry Awards. ”

The Ark laughed and said, "I guess you don't understand me. ”

“I did not understand, but this did not prevent your speech from inspiring me greatly, especially your insights into energy and materials, which kept me coming out of my head," she said in a sincere tone, looking seriously at the ark, "I have a few questions I would like to ask you, I wonder if I could take up some time with you? ”

Looking at the fog on the coffee cup, the ark thought about the next itinerary and said in a relaxed tone: "… there is time before I finish my coffee. ”

“Don't worry, I won't be long.” Roy's face was delightful, and somehow he changed from a shorthand to a fountain pen, and he quickly started asking questions, "Well, the first question...”

Roy was asking questions that were very shallow, or Cope in nature.

The ark used as common a language as possible, what he understood, and corrected some misconceptions that had been misread by the media.

Time will soon pass.

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

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

The ark joked, “Is it signed? ”

Roy Gual smiled: "If you need me, let me sign as many as I want. ”

After a pause, she joked and continued.

“This is my card and I'm very interested in you, maybe we can have a deeper conversation. ”

Left a business card with the contact details on it, and this blonde with blue eyes used it. The obscure glance looked at the ark, leaving a fragrant wind and getting up and walking away.

Looking at her back, the ark shook its head with a smile.

Deep communication?

Forget it.

Even Professors at Cornell don't understand my theory. It's too difficult to understand things to communicate with you for nothing.

At this point, an unexpected acquaintance came.

Looking at Roy's back, Carodito said with ease.

“You have good taste. ”

The ark asked casually, "Do you want me to ask for your phone? ”

“That sounds appealing," said Carodito, sitting on the couch Roy had sat on earlier, staring at the ark. "But I'm not here to talk to you about women. ”

Didn't you mention that first?

The Ark looked at him silently and closed the card in his hand.

“So, are you here to talk to me or something? ”

Carodite said, "Nothing to talk about, just to tell you the bad news. ”

The canoe's eyebrows lifted slightly: "Oh? ”

Carodite said seriously: "Mobil Chemicals intends to get involved in the production of lithium-sulfur battery materials, not only that, but they found Professor Stanley! ”

That's it...

Thought it was a big thing, an ark, a silent expression,

“Oh, I already know. ”

Carodito stunned and quickly responded with alarm: "Has Woods reached out to you? ”

The ark nodded and replied in a relaxed tone: "Yes, the night before yesterday, shortly after I arrived in San Francisco, he and Professor Stanley visited me here. ”

Carodite glanced around and lowered her voice and asked, "Where did they go? ”

The ark frowned slightly: “What step? ”

Carodito stunned: “Of course it's the progress of research… Wait, aren't you, you didn't ask them anything? ”

The ark looked at him strangely: "What do I need to ask them? ”

Carodite: "…”

Looking at the incredible look on Carodite's face, the ark sighed softly, "To be honest, I don't really understand why you're being so careful. ”

“That's because you don't understand how horrible the market outlook for sulfur batteries is,” Carodite took a deep breath, restrained her anxiety and lowered her voice, "Listen, Mobil is also studying the lithium-sulfur battery cathode material, and their R&D direction is also based on the carbon sulfur composite of the hollow carbon sphere! And you did them a huge favor, and you shouldn't have published those two papers in Science! ”

Even Youmeiko's old opponent, Niya Chemistry, first developed this technology without making Carodite so nervous.

However, ExxonMobil is different.

This cross-cutting oil giant, one foot naturally steps upstream in the industrial chain of their chemical enterprises and naturally takes a unique advantage in the cost of raw materials.

Once ExxonMobil became interested in the cathode material of lithium-sulfur batteries, it wasn't taking a piece of meat from Yumeko's mouth, but cutting a piece of meat from all their chemical giants.

Just as there is a gap between genius and genius, there is also a gap between giants and giants.

……

What does this have to do with the Ark?

He is not a shareholder of Yumeike.

“I disagree with you, academic value can only be elevated in communication," the ark frowned slightly, "and my own research results, published or unpublished, need to be discussed with you? ”

“No, that's not what I meant," noted Carodite, noting the discontent in the ark tone, quickly softened his tone of speech, explaining, "I admire your confidence, but the problem is, confidence also has to be seen. You know, your competitor is ExxonMobil! They've added $50 million in chips to Professor Stanley to fight this battle! Do you understand what that means? ”

Looking at Carodite in a hurry, the Ark didn't know how to comfort him.

Obviously, Yumeike is definitely also studying the cathode materials for lithium-sulfur batteries and has invested an ambitious amount of money in getting ready to take the lead on this project. In a sense, in the case of lithium-sulfur battery projects, Ark and Yumeike are also competitors, although the competition is not as strong as Yumeike and Mobil.

If the ark is studied first and Yumeko gives up at most a portion of the profits, then he is studied by Japan-Asian chemistry, then at most he is just slaughtered by his peers. But if Mobil, an ambitious bragging giant, were to take the lead, it would be fatal.

And that's why the two papers on the Ark panicked them.

Especially in the case of the Mobil Chemical race, no one knows how many meters from the finish line the two papers are like a time bomb, making Carodite nervous and sleepless.

Think of it here, the ark can't stand it.

But even if he had to choose again, he would have made the same choice as before.

After a pause, the ark tried to comfort itself with a soothing tone.

“Relax, I never thought of you as competitors. ”

Carodite: "…”
