Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Lithium air batteries have not yet been born, but the dawn of the imminent advent is already shaking many eyes. Academia was also significantly affected, especially as industry launched an eight-level earthquake.

Some are shocked and some are indifferent.

Some people are ecstatic, and naturally some people have their hearts pounded with remorse.

Bigger, it's about billions of dollars in scientific research, and smaller, it's about countless doctoral students successfully completing their dissertations.

After all, many projects related to lithium empty batteries have been cut or even cut off directly. Many doctoral mentors who do this direction have not had much of a good time themselves, let alone the students they bring...

North American Materials Spring Conference, Boston, Massachusetts.

Materials from all over the world.

If there had been no surprises, the star of the spring meeting would have belonged to the study of molybdenum disulphide monomolecular layer materials funded by Microsoft, Intel and other companies, which had until then been widely regarded by academia as the preferred material for the future semiconductor industry other than silicon carbide.

It is clear, however, that the accident has now taken place.

The heat of a lithium empty battery outweighs everything else.

At the first debriefing session, Professor Stanley, dressed in a tuxedo and walking up to the podium, generously announced the advent of the Lithium Empty Battery Age and how his caged carbon molecular materials were so powerful...

And that's why this year's Materials Spring was almost at the opening of the first game.

For those of you who throw shoes on the stage if you don't agree, or even stick up your sleeves and hit your hands, this guy looks so cheerful in the face!

Although not fought, the report as a whole will continue to be a conflict.

Even though a number of laboratories have already completed a repetition of the experiment, competitors from all walks of life are still going mad and mad at Professor Stanley for this live target.

For example, Dr. Curtis from Agon National Laboratory.

In collaboration with Professor AminSalehi-Khojin of the University of Illinois at Chicago, they succeeded in finding a revolutionary way to complete a lithium air battery that can achieve up to 700 rechargeable discharge cycles in the air.

After the lithium-crystal problem was solved, they tried to raise it to 900 times. And by now, that number has gone a thousand rough times.

Had it not been for the birth of this caged carbon molecule, which would have plunged this "bright future" study into the dilemma of being chopped off, it would have been him standing on the stage right now!

Even Professor Curtis of Sven, who usually kills his parents, is angry at the moment, and in the questioning session he solves the problem and tries to extract it from his caged carbon molecule.

Of course, even his own mind knows that his actions are just a dying struggle...

The evening feast is held at a five-star hotel next to the ballroom.

Professor Stanley, dressed in a penciled tuxedo, greased his hair and smiled proudly in the spring breeze all the way, showcasing a glass to academics, peers and industry representatives who volunteered to talk to him, and exchanging business cards.

At the previous press conference, he was quite impressed.

Because the Ark did not come to the meeting, as the first discoverer of the material, he rationally became the focal point of all sights.

And even if they get caught in the fire by fellow scholars, so what?

A fellow traveler is a wrongdoer.

What I really need to make good is the big bosses waving the money, only they are likely to bury the bill for their own research, those colleagues at best will only show sympathy when he fails, then don't know how to laugh at him in the back.

In fact, Professor Stanley has wanted to drive by now.

After all, think carefully, except that the Chinese named Ark seriously humiliated an IQ, it does not seem to have lost much.

Patent?

That thing was originally ExxonMobil's thing, and after signing the R&D agreement, I enjoyed a fairly limited amount of benefits. At most, it was a point bonus, and that's how big companies work together.

This mountain relationship with ExxonMobil?

The reputation of industry?

He has indeed suffered enough over the past six years, but now he has regained his position in the eyes of major corporations and seems to be even further than before.

So, what does it matter?

Stanley's heart was overwhelmed with joy when he listened to people praising him and watched those who had once climbed back to lick themselves with reverence.

The director of the Department of Chemistry at Massachusetts Polytechnic University, an old professor he once worked with in the battery field, held his right hand firmly and said with enthusiasm.

“Congratulations, Professor Stanley! By the time the lithium-sky batteries become popular, the Nobel Prize Committee will certainly give serious consideration to this landmark discovery, awarding you and Professor Lu the first Nobel Prize ever awarded to the battery field… without considering coming to MIT? We can provide the best experimental environment for your new topic! I assure you that you will be satisfied. ”

When he heard Professor Lu's name, Professor Stanley's eyebrows twitched reflexively.

But after all, it's the old fox who's been crawling around in academia for so many years.

Though the wound in his heart seemed to have been torn apart again, he quickly controlled his emotions and shook the hand of this old friend, who had just been contacted and had the need to continue making friends, gently exclaimed.

“Thank you for your kindness... but Binghamton University is ready to nominate me as the head of the chemistry department and the lab is in the process of being relocated... I still don't intend to make a fuss in the short term. ”

I'm sorry, but I can't offer better conditions on my side, can I?

He nodded his understanding of the location, and the director of the Department of Chemistry at MIT let go of his right hand and said with regret.

“I understand that, after all, a safe environment is more important to us learners than anything, and no one likes to toss around… but if you have any ideas of coming to MIT in the future, please contact me. ”

Stanley lifted his forehead slightly and gently.

“Definitely.”

Normally, he would not have spoken so coldly to the head of the Department of Chemistry at MIT, after all, while serving as the head of the Department, he was a permanent member of the American Chemical Society.

But now, his coffee slot is not lower than his, and naturally there is no need to whisper.

Just as Professor Stanley was intoxicated by the feeling of being the focal point of the entire banquet, the figure of a dusty servant quickly walked into the banquet hall, looking around the entire hall, and the horse kept thinking about Stanley walking this way.

Stanley glanced slightly at the person and said with some surprise.

“Woods? My dear friend, how did you... end up like this? ”

Haven't seen him in six years, the man in front of him, far removed from the sharp, powerful man in his impression, replaced by wrinkles engraved on his cheeks, and aging and sluggishness.

“Something happened,” took a deep breath, and Woods stared into Professor Stanley's eyes, "Listen, although there was a misunderstanding between us before, cutting off your subject, now--”

“Stop,” said Professor Stanley, "I had a feeling this guy might have something to say, interrupting his speech.“ Let's get this straight, what the hell are you doing? ”

“ExxonMobil wants you back," Woods said sincerely, "you are the inventor of the caged carbon molecule, and we all know that this honor belongs to you, not to the majority of the Chinese people. We need a compound that has similar functions, at least one that can bypass their patents...”

After listening to Woods' description, Professor Stanley was silent for a while and suddenly sighed.

“Give it up, Woods, I know you're upset, but we're not his opponents. ”

I didn't expect him to say such a thing. Woods stunned for a moment and said in a hurry.

“Did you just look at them and ride on our heads? Managing the future of our energy lifeblood? Soon the California nuclear power plant will be built, and the market for lithium empty batteries will win a wave of well blowouts! Everyone wants cleaner and cheaper energy, but how many people have thought that falling oil prices will make countless American households unemployed! If we can't patent the Lithium Empty Battery, we have nothing to fight back! ”

Unemployment of countless American families…

Aren't you greedy capitalists?

Of course, it was just a whisper in Stanley's heart, and of course he couldn't have said it in front of this potential golden master.

With a slight cough, Professor Stanley corrected the look on his face and carefully looked at the emotionally excited Woods and continued.

“Look, I understand how you feel, Mr. Woods, but what can we do with this situation now? The patent law says in black and white, unless you have a way to convince the Ark to sell the patent to you, I suggest you still... think about something happy. ”

“Besides, as you can see, I'm doing fine now. Let it go for the last six years, at least something that belongs to me. He didn't take it by the rules. As for you asking me if I hated him, a few days ago I was biting my teeth off and I had to go to China with a gun to crumble him, but now..."

“I already want to drive. ”

No, just want to drive.

And because Stanley is really scared.

He didn't know if the Ark counted what was happening today, but the only thing he knew was that because of that sly Chinese, his academic career had stalled for six years.

Now I can hardly stand up to him, relying on that guy's latest research, he finally came to work, I really don't want to go against that guy anymore.

After all, he's not too young.

Six more years, maybe we'll wait in the coffin!

Shoulder shrugged, looking at a stubborn Woods, Professor Stanley said comfortably.

“… as for the unemployment rate or something, that's a question for the elders of Capitol Hill to think about, not us. ”

Woods watched Stanley pat himself on the shoulder, then turned around and left, moving into the next circle where a laughing breeze arose with the bulls in the same field.

He stood still for a long time.

Suddenly, his shoulders moved and his eyebrows dropped slightly to the floor.

As if to think of something, that dry lip between the stitches, chewing a few words over and over.

“Capitol Hill…”

“That's a question for the elders of Capitol Hill to think about...”

“Yeah, why didn't I think of that! ”
