371 New Ideas For Research On Superconducting Materials (3/3)
Chapter 371 New Ideas for Research on Superconducting Materials (33)
It has been a week since I returned to Princeton from Germany, and as October enters, the air in New Jersey has taken on a bit of coolness. After a few sneezes, Lu Zhou also changed into his favorite windbreaker besides the plaid shirt.
Leaning on the office chair in the study, Lu Zhou, who just finished the work at hand, is drinking coffee while reading the newspaper sent across the ocean.
On the page he turned, there was a row of bold titles——
"On the Application of Computing Science in Frontier Research Fields and the General Trend of Future Discipline Development"
"Everyone Daily" used a whole page to publish the content of his letter.
Of course, considering the reader's acceptance, the content published in the newspaper has been abbreviated, and at the same time, some scientific explanations have been made on the differences between different supercomputers.
After reading this report from the beginning to the end, Lu Zhou couldn't stop smiling.
But after a while, behind that smile, a hint of worry floated up again.
Although he is optimistic about the broad prospects of computing science in the future, the development of supercomputing with such a big fanfare makes people worry that it may be overcorrecting.
After all, research funding is limited.
The higher the end of one bowl, the less water in the other bowl. Although computational chemistry has broad prospects, it is enough to pay attention to it, and there is no need to flock to it. Even if many laboratories do not have the basis of computational chemistry, they can still produce results.
Hopefully, the decision makers have something in mind.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhou suddenly felt that it would be better for him to express such opinions as little as possible in the future.
Even with the help of the system, he cannot guarantee that every choice he makes is correct. Scientific research itself is a process of trial and error. In fact, the number of mistakes he made in research and the number of times he entered a dead end far exceeded the number of times he succeeded.
It's just that all the papers that were finally published in journals were successful cases.
"It seems that you still have to learn to be cautious in your words and deeds, or if you make a mistake in the future, I'm afraid you will have to take the blame for no reason," Lu Zhou shook his head and put away the newspaper.
He took the empty coffee cup to the kitchen, and when Lu Zhou returned to the study, the phone rang.
This time it was still an international call, but it was not from Jinling University, but from Yang Xu.
After the call was connected, the other side smiled and asked.
"Have you received the package?"
"received."
"How does it feel to be on Renren Daily?"
Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou couldn't help laughing and said: "How does this feel? That's it."
This is not the first time he has appeared in Renren Daily.
Besides, it was just published in a newspaper. For him who has already won numerous international awards, it is not a special honor.
After a pause, Lu Zhou continued: "If you don't call me, it's almost time for me to call you. Speaking of which, how is the construction progress of the Institute of Computational Materials?"
"The foundation has already been laid. I have cycled there a few times, but I, a layman in construction, can't see anything. Aren't you the chairman of Xingkong Technology? Why don't you ask your manager about this?" Clear."
The branch of Xingkong Technology has opened in Shanghai, and the quality and progress of the project are supervised by special personnel. However, just looking at the project progress reports, Lu Zhou still has no idea.
"A report on paper is only on paper after all. How can there be an intuitive experience of seeing it with your own eyes? When you go next time, remember to take some photos for me."
"It's okay, I won't go there," Yang Xu said with a smile, "There is only a big construction site over there, and there is dust everywhere. I'm afraid it will be difficult to move in after two or three years after the building is completed."
Lu Zhou: "Two or three years is too long. When the renovation of the building is completed, we will have to move there in a few months at most."
"Are you in such a hurry?" Yang Xu said with a smile, "The leader of the Chemical Institute has told me more than once that we can stay in that laboratory building as long as we want. If we like it, we can just settle there. At worst, the Huayuan will build a new one.”
"That can't be done," Lu Zhou could probably imagine the tone of Dean Li's words. He smiled and shook his head. "Borrowing is borrowing, and we have to move out. It is within the system, no matter how close the relationship is, there must be a measure, otherwise it will be bad for each other."
It's okay to live there for a short time, but if it's a long time, it's inevitable that people will gossip.
If this leads to who owns the property rights of that building?
Is there any transfer of state-owned assets to private interests?
After a series of questions were asked, it was another unclear account.
All the equipment for this building was bought, and Lu Zhou was not short of the money for this experimental building, so there was no need to be talked about for such a small gain.
"Okay, you're 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 arrangement for this year?"
Lu Zhou thought for a while and said, "Not yet. If there is, I will notify you in advance. My suggestion is that you can find some interesting vertical or horizontal topics to do."
If the experiment is stopped for too long, people will easily lose their minds.
When you don't have your own research plan, it is also a good choice to engage in cooperative research and development with some companies or other research units. In this way, research experience can be accumulated, and additional income can be generated, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.
I believe that with the research and development capabilities of the Jinling Institute of Computing Materials, as long as they express their intention to cooperate in research and development, many companies are still very welcome.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it," Yang Xu said with a smile, turning the ballpoint pen in his hand, "Speaking of which, boss, what project are you researching recently? Are you still doing theoretical chemistry?"
"Me?" Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "That's not true, the theoretical model of the electrochemical interface structure has been completed, and there are not enough topics in this direction to arouse my interest."
Yang Xu: "The window period?"
"No." After a pause, Lu Zhou continued, "I'm currently studying the Navier-Stokes equation."
With a whoosh, the pen in his hand flew out.
With a snap, the flying pen hit the wall.
Yang Xu on the other end of the phone froze for a moment.
Hold the grass? !
Navier-Stokes equation? !
Although he doesn't know much about mathematics, he has heard about the names of the seven millennium problems.
Lu Zhou frowned slightly when he saw that there was no sound after a snap on the other end of the phone.
"Any questions?"
"Hold the grass, awesome boss! NS Equation!" Yang Xu stood up excitedly from his chair, "Have you finally solved the Millennium Problem?"
What does it mean to finally make a move?
And what does this have to do with the Millennium Problem?
Shocked by his words, Lu Zhou coughed dryly and explained.
"The Millennium Problem discusses the existence and smoothness of NS equations. What I study is the branch of plasma in the application of NS equations..."
Speaking of this, Lu Zhou suddenly thought of something and said.
"By the way, in terms of joint research and development projects, my suggestion is that you can pay attention to the direction of superconducting materials."
"Superconducting materials?" Yang Xu was slightly stunned, and frowned, "But we are in the field of carbon nanometers, and we have no research experience in metal materials..."
"I don't mean to ask you to change direction. We still make carbon nanomaterials."
After a pause, Lu Zhou searched for a while, and then expressed his conjecture: "It's just my personal hunch, I don't think superconducting materials have to be found from metal bonds. Under the right conditions, similar to The 'Cooper pair' thing, maybe we can find it in the pi bond or the big pi bond too."
