Chapter 371: New Ideas for Superconducting Materials Research (3/3)

A week had passed since returning from Germany to Princeton, and the air in New Jersey had brought a few hints of coolness as it entered October. After a few sneezes, the ark also switched to his favorite trench coat in addition to a plaid shirt.

Leaning on the office chair in the study, he had just finished his work on the ark, drinking coffee while watching newspapers drifting across the sea.

On the page he flipped, he added a bold title across the line ——

"A Trend in the Application of Computing Science in Frontier Research and Future Subject Development"

The Daily Journal of All devoted a full page to the contents of his letter.

Of course, given the reader's level of acceptance, the content published in the newspaper has been abbreviated, with some general explanations of the differences between the different overruns.

When I saw the story from the beginning, the corners of the ark made me laugh.

But not long later, behind that smile, there was a hint of concern.

Although he likes the broad prospects for the future of computational science, the development of such a huge banner is overwhelming... I can't help but worry that it will not be corrected.

After all, funding for scientific research is limited.

This bowl is taller and the water in the other bowl is scarce. Computational chemistry, while promising, needs to be valued and not embraced. Many laboratories can produce results even if they don't have the basis for computational chemistry.

Let us hope that there is a word in the minds of decision makers.

With this in mind, the Ark suddenly felt that it would be better to make as few comments as possible in the future.

Even with systematic help, he could not guarantee that every choice he made was the right one. Scientific research itself was a process of trial and error, in fact, he had made mistakes in his research, walking into a dead end far more often than he had succeeded.

However, it was all a success story when it was last published as a paper in a journal.

“Looks like we'll have to learn to be cautious, or we'll make mistakes later, and we'll have to back up the pot for nothing," the ark shook its head and closed the paper.

The empty coffee cup was taken to the kitchen, and when the ark returned to the study, the phone rang.

This time it is still an international long distance, but not from Jinling University, but from Yang Xu.

After the phone was turned on, he asked with a smile.

“Did you get the package? ”

“Got it. ”

“How does it feel to be in Everyman's Daily? ”

Hearing this, the Ark couldn't help but laugh: “How does that make you feel? That's it. ”

It's not the first time he's been in the Daily News.

Besides, it's just a newspaper, and it's not a special honor for him, who has won countless international awards.

Paused for a moment, the ark continued: “If you don't call me, I should probably call you too. Speaking of which, how's the construction at the Computing Materials Institute going? ”

“The foundation has been laid, I have bicycled there a few times, but I can't see a place of fame as an architectural expat. Aren't you the chairman of Startech? Ask your manager about it. ”

The branch of Star Sky Technology has opened up in Shanghai, and there are dedicated personnel to follow up on the quality and progress of the project. However, just looking at the reports on the progress of the project, there is no bottom line in the mind of the Ark.

“After all, the paper reports are only on paper. Where is the intuition you see with your own eyes? Next time you go, take some pictures for me. ”

“It's okay. I'm not going that way," Yang Xu said with a smile. “There's only one big construction site over there, full of ash. I'm afraid this building has been built and no one can move in for two or three years. ”

Ark: “Two or three years is too long. After the building is renovated, we'll have to move there in a few months at most. ”

“In such a hurry?” Yang Xu smiled and said, "On more than one occasion, the leader of the chemical house has told me that we can stay as long as we want in that experimental building. If we like it, we can simply settle in there and build another new one in the big chemical house. ”

“That's not possible," he said, "I think you can imagine the tone of what Dean Li said. The Ark laughed and shook his head." Borrowing is borrowing. Should we move it or not? After all, we are private research institutions, and they are within the system, no matter how close they are, they have to have a point, otherwise they are not good for each other. ”

Living there for a short period of time is nothing, but if it takes a long time, people will inevitably talk.

If that leads to the ownership of the building, who owns it?

Is there a private interest in State-owned assets?

A series of questions followed up, another blurry account.

The equipment in this building was bought, and the ark was no worse than the money in this experimental building, and there was no need to lose touch with greed for this small price.

“Well, you're also right,” leaning on the office chair, Yang Xu suddenly slapped his head, "By the way, I almost forgot about the business, is there any new research arrangements this year? ”

The Ark thought about it and said, “Not yet, I'll let you know in advance if there is one. My suggestion is that you can look for some vertical or horizontal topics of interest to do. ”

The experiment stopped for too long and people were easily dissipated.

Cooperating in R&D with some enterprises or other research units is also a good option when you don't have your own research plan. In this way, research experience can be accumulated and additional income can be generated.

It is believed that the R&D capacity of the Institute of Computing Materials in Jinling is very welcome for a number of enterprises as long as they express their intention to cooperate in R&D.

“Okay, I'll pay attention,” Yang Xu said with a smile, turning to the ballpoint pen in his hand. "By the way, boss, what project have you been studying lately? Still doing theoretical chemistry? ”

“Me?” the ark stunned slightly, laughing, "No, the theoretical model of the electrochemical interface structure has been completed, and this direction has not yet attracted enough interest for the time being. ”

Yang Xu: “Empty window period? ”

“Nor is it.” Pause, the ark continues, "I've been studying the Navier-Stokes equation recently. ”

The pen flied out with a thud.

With a bang, the flying pen hit the wall.

Yang Xu on the other end of the phone, his expression instantly stopped.

Grass?!

Navier-Stokes equation?!

He doesn't know much about mathematics, but he knows a lot about the top seven millennium problems.

After seeing the tap on the phone, there was no sound, and the ark frowned slightly.

“Is there a problem? ”

“Grip the grass, you cowboy! NS equation!” Yang Xu stood up excitedly from the chair, "you finally made your move on the millennium problem? ”

What do you mean, finally?

And what does this have to do with the millennium problem?

By his words Ray was not light, the ark coughed dry, explaining.

“The millennium is about the existence and smoothness of NS equations, and I'm looking at branches of plasma in the application of NS equations...”

Speaking of which, the Ark suddenly thought of one thing and said.

“By the way, if you're working on a research and development project, I suggest you keep an eye out for this direction of superconducting materials. ”

“Superconducting material?” Yang Xu stunned slightly, frowned, "But we are made of carbon nano, we have no experience in studying metal materials...”

“I didn't mean to change direction, we still do carbon nanomaterials. ”

Paused for a moment, the ark searched for a moment and said its own conjecture: “It's just my personal hunch that I don't think the superconducting material has to be looked for from the metal bonds. If the conditions are right, something similar to the 'Cooper pair' may be found in the π or large π keys as well. ”
