Chapter 482 "Interesting" Subject

Even with the instruments at hand, Hou Jinli could not figure out why even if he scratched off his scalp.

At the very least, he had to do an XRD test on the thing first.

Of course, it's better to scan it with a SEM electron microscope, and the situation will be more clear at a glance.

If the thing photographed is "interesting" enough, it may be an SCI in one area.

Hey, I really want to have my own laboratory...

Sighing silently in his heart, looking at the bag of black waste in his hand, Hou Jinli hesitated for a moment.

In the end, instead of throwing it into the waste bin, he threw it on the experimental table next to him.

Noticing his colleague's actions, Yu Junda glanced at him and asked curiously.

"What are you keeping that thing for?"

"I'm going to write an application for opening a thesis, to see if I can apply for a SEM electron microscope, and analyze the components of these things." After a pause, Hou Jinli continued, "I think this thing is quite interesting."

Yu Junda couldn't help complaining: "Isn't this thing just carbon residue? What's there to study?"

Of course, it is also possible that potassium permanganate remains, or a mixture of the two, or something else.

In the business of making materials, you can always get all kinds of weird things, at least he doesn't get used to them anymore.

Hou Jinli picked up the bag of waste again, and threw it into his hands: "It feels a little different from charcoal residue, if you don't believe me, feel it yourself."

After rubbing it in his hands for a long time, Yu Junda frowned and said, "Why don't I feel it?"

Convinced that his feeling is not an illusion, Hou Jinli said in a positive tone: "If you touch it a lot, you will feel it."

Yu Junda: "..."

I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the conversation was somehow dirty.

...

In fact, whether it is superconducting graphene or the SG-1 material itself, it is a new direction.

Many material research institutes in the direction of carbon nanometers or superconductivity may have heard of its name from the MRS autumn meeting, but they still know little about more detailed things.

It is precisely because of this that there are still many places worth digging.

Hou Jinli is not the only one who is interested in the problems encountered in the experiments related to SG-1 materials, nor is he the only one who has the idea of ​​in-depth research, but he is probably the only one who is interested in the waste materials in the experiment .

In short, after some twists and turns, he used his spare time to write the proposal report.

In the end, this report was sent to Lu Zhou's desk together with other proposal reports...

"Unidentified black matter produced during the preparation of SG-1 materials?"

Looking at the opening report in his hand, Lu Zhou had a strange expression.

Wouldn't it be carbon residue?

Speaking of which, the title of the opening report is simple enough...

Passing the title, Lu Zhou looked directly at the text, and read it line by line.

In Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, besides the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Municipal Research Fund, another way to apply for funding and equipment is to choose the exclusive fund of the institute.

As long as the selected research direction is consistent with or related to the key research direction of the institute, as long as the research value of the topic can be clearly stated in the opening report, the pass rate is still relatively high.

Lu Zhou has always been quite generous in funding. He encouraged researchers to delve into the problems discovered in the experiments, even if these discoveries may not necessarily have economic benefits, as long as these discoveries are meaningful enough.

After all, many excellent research results in the history of science were discovered in accidents of one kind or another.

Sitting on the office chair, Lu Zhou thought for a moment, and finally signed his name on it.

In general, the opening report was well written, at least it gave him an idea worth trying.

Six of the ten proposal proposals were approved, and the remaining four were rejected by him because they did not meet the specifications for various reasons.

After finally finishing the work, Lu Zhou stretched his waist, stood up from the office chair, and went to the coffee machine to make himself a cup of coffee.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"The door is unlocked, just come in."

The door opened, and it was Yang Xu who appeared at the door.

A few days ago, on behalf of the Institute of Computing Materials, he went to Zheda for a visit and exchange, and he just rushed back from there today.

Seeing Lu Zhou standing next to the coffee machine, Yang Xu smiled and said, "Aren't you considering hiring a secretary?"

"No need for now," Lu Zhou smiled, and lifted up the freshly brewed coffee, "I'm pretty good at making coffee, do you want to try it?"

Yang Xu joked with a smile: "The Nobel laureate invited me to drink coffee, I can't miss this."

Taking the coffee cup from Lu Zhou, Yang Xu took a sip and hesitated a little.

"Isn't this the instant one?"

"Even if it is instant, you have to grasp the temperature of the water and the timing of adding water..." Lu Zhou coughed lightly, and changed the topic, "Stop chatting, how is the situation at Zheda?"

Yang Xu said in a relaxed tone: "The situation is quite optimistic. There are quite a few professors who are interested in the cooperative research plan we proposed, and they can at least help us digest more than 20 topics."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction.

"Good job, thank you for your hard work."

"It's okay," Yang Xu waved his hand and said with a smile, "This is part of my job."

Controllable nuclear fusion is a huge project. The material alone is enough to unravel more than a hundred subjects. This is only expected, and it is not unexpected.

It is obviously difficult for these research topics to be covered by a few universities in Jinling and the just-started advanced research institutes, and it is imperative to cooperate with other universities and research institutions.

Materials is one of Zheda's strong majors, especially the direction of carbon nanometers.

In a few days, Yang Xu will go to Shuimu's side. The more allies he can win, the better.

After a pause, Yang Xu continued: "By the way, there is one more thing. The Julius Baer Group sent an email last night. They have drawn up a draft of the industrial production plan for SG-1."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou's face suddenly showed an interested look.

In terms of enterprises, Julius Baer Group, a subsidiary of Hua Guo Airlines, is their main partner, responsible for solving the problem of industrialized production of SG-1 materials.

The two sides complement each other in their respective advantages and signed a cooperative research agreement. The research institute is responsible for solving technical problems, and Baosheng Group is responsible for solving design problems and implementing specific production work.

Now, Julius Baer Group has completed the draft of the production plan.

For Lu Zhou, this is probably the best news he has heard these days.

"Already finished? Send it to my mailbox later."

Yang Xu nodded and said, "It has already been sent. In addition, in order to complete the final design of the production line, they need us to send a few researchers to help."

Lu Zhou thought for a moment, then said, "Then send a few people over there. You can think about who you choose, and try not to delay our progress."

"OK."

Yang Xu nodded, turned and left the office.

Watching Yang Xu's back, Lu Zhou then looked at the calendar on the corner of the table.

The end of the year is getting closer.

It seems that he also has to step up...
