Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 342: Great Job (3/3)

After getting the patent number, Professor Stanley contributed his paper to the top issue of the chemical world, JACS.

To celebrate the victory of the battle, ExxonMobil organized a banquet to which not only Professor Stanley and his research team were invited, but Woods also invited industry celebrities and corporate shareholders.

Of course, Professor Stanley invited the Ark.

In his view, whether the boy comes or not, he should show his grace as a winner and show his pity to the loser.

However, the boy's reply was very disgraceful.

[No! "(ᐛ")_]

Stanley: …

A short reply is quite concise.

Especially when he saw the face, his eyebrows twitched.

What the hell is that?

He restrained the urge to hit people and threw the email in the trash.

“You don't have to influence your mood because of a loser. ”

Taking a deep breath, Professor Stanley repeatedly said to himself in his heart.

His face turned back into a smile like a spring wind. He reached out to take care of the tie in front of his chest and returned to the banquet with his head wide open...

……

Since the beginning of the year, ExxonMobil has been building momentum to enter the new energy sector, and many people have been watching it closely for the past six months.

Now Professor Stanley's breakthrough on the lithium-sulfur battery project is undoubtedly shocking news for the industry as a whole.

Because this would mean that Mobil Chemicals, which already predominates in chemical raw materials, continues to take the lead on patent issues.

At the banquet, Professor Stanley naturally became the center of the entire event and received the utmost attention.

For this old professor, who was once defeated by lithium batteries and will now return to the altar because of lithium-sulfur batteries, neither the business side nor his colleagues in materials science will miss this opportunity to date him.

Standing in the middle of the ballroom, exhilarating Woods, he raised his glass to Professor Stanley, "Congratulations, Professor Stanley, on your authoritative position in the lithium field, which is another big step forward. ”

“Thank you.” Professor Stanley was delighted to receive this blessing and gracefully tasted a glass of wine, "similarly congratulations, I hear ExxonMobil's share price has grown very well. ”

Woods smiled brilliantly, "That's nature. ”

The Broadway singer gave a song to the banquet.

As the banquet officially began, guests entered the dance floor.

And people outside the dance floor, they form a circle, one big or one small, and they enjoy the party in their own way.

Standing with his own research team, Professor Stanley held a piece of champagne in his hand and said with a smile and a high voice, attracting the attention of his neighbors.

“Just a moment, everyone, let me say something! ”

The conversation stopped and everyone threw their gaze at him, waiting for the old man to continue.

Enjoyed this impressive feeling, Stanley coughed softly and changed her solemn appearance and tone.

“Undoubtedly, this is a great moment! And at great moments, there is always a group of selfless devotees who are silent in their dedication to our cause. ”

Say it, he raised the cup in his hand, and a smile was added to the solemn voice.

“Let's raise a toast to Professor Lu! ”

“Cheers! ”

“Ha-ha-ha! Thank you Professor Lu for your thesis! ”

“ …… ”

The researchers standing next to him knew more or less what was going on, and everyone heard Professor Stanley's tone. And that's why everyone laughed, and even many whistled.

Small boats carrying history forward are often the obsession and effort of a group of "fibers”.

History, however, will not remember everyone who has worked too hard on it, but only the one who has contributed the most.

No matter how close his peers were to the outcome, if they missed the last step, the last second, they missed the whole world.

At last, when Professor Stanley wasn't around, Ricardo hurried up and shoved a glowing smile out of his nervous face: "Congratulations, Professor Stanley, have you contributed your paper? ”

Stanley nodded, expressionlessly saying, "Yes, Mr. Ricardo, the data you brought is very useful. ”

Ricardo was delighted and rushed to say, "As we agreed, you would add my name to the paper, wouldn't you? ”

Stanley's eyes flashed slightly, but it was well covered.

He nodded and said neither intimately nor remotely.

“Of course, you are our minister. ”

As agreed in the contract, he will add his name to the paper's signature and will also remain with his research team.

Nevertheless, core research should not be considered.

No matter how talented he is, Stanley will never absorb him into his core research team, let alone allow him access to sensitive data.

A man without a spirit of contract is untrustworthy.

Ricardo was obviously unaware of this and did not even read Professor Stanley's repudiation a thousand miles away, but considered himself a true “meritocracy”.

In a sense, he did do a great job.

This credit has even reached the point where the Ark can't bear to withdraw the charges against this lovely guy...

But neither he, nor Professor Stanley, who was immersed in the joy of success, noticed anything unusual at this moment.

Until halfway through the banquet, Professor Stanley suddenly received a call...

……

“What did you say? The suppressive effect of that caged carbon molecule on the shuttle effect is not as ideal as you might imagine? ”

Standing on the balcony of the sitting area, Professor Stanley covered his phone with an incredible look on his face and looked back unconsciously.

Just now, he heard bad news from a research assistant on duty in the lab.

Or is it a nightmare...

Confirming that no one had heard what he had just said, he lowered his voice and asked anxiously: "Are you sure you have experimented with all the mixing proportions? ”

“I have raised the carbon mass fraction to 50%, and although there is a diffusion effect on polysulphur compounds, this effect is far below our expectations," the research assistant said with great vigour.

Professor Stanley's suddenly morbid complexion made him breathe faster.

“It's impossible, you keep experimenting to increase the carbon mass score to more than 50%! ”

The research assistant said in an almost crying voice: "Professor! We're making batteries! It's a battery! ”

This reminder also brought Professor Stanley to a complete awakening.

The complexion, also gradually from red to pale.

Yeah, they're doing batteries.

Carbon materials that serve as support structures, whether carbon nanotubes or carbon nanospheres, are not involved in electrochemical reactions.

Generally, the mass fraction of carbon in carbon sulfur composites is controlled to within 30 percent. If the mass fraction of the carbon component in the carbon sulfur material is raised to 50%, the material loses all meaning. Because it's not carbon as a skeleton that really participates in the reaction, it's sulfur monomer!

Even if industry could accept such a cost, the market would not accept a battery as big as a monstrous one. Even if it weighs very lightly, its energy density (in WHKG) is attractive enough...

Two steps back, the old professor leaned against the railing, as if he were in his teens.

He was in the mood at the moment, as if he had just stepped on the cloud and was hit by a stick in the abyss.

However, he still couldn't figure out why all of this was happening.

At this point, Professor Stanley suddenly thought of the e-mail.

Calm down, he changed his mind.

Instead of being dug into the corners of a wall and being divulged important experimental data by a departing researcher, he would never be in such a relaxed mood. Even if anger is tolerated, it is never possible to be so calm and accommodating in the face of an opponent's fall.

Unless…

A terrible thought emerged.

It was the same idea that made Professor Stanley so cold.

From the beginning, they were fooled...
