Chapter 95 This Is Not Physics

eight o'clock in the morning.

After staying up all night to organize the research results into a thesis, Lu Zhou yawned and went to the laboratory, and handed his research results of the past five days to Senior Brother Qian.

Then……

"It's impossible!" Slapping the paper on the table, Senior Brother Qian flatly vetoed it, "The strengthening mechanism of CNTs materials on cement materials is to provide a nucleation matrix for the nucleation of hydration products, reduce the nucleation barrier, and make Hydration products are easy to form!"

"You have studied it for a day and told me that it has no effect? ​​How could it have no effect on the early-age hydration reaction! Have you read the literature I gave you!"

"There is no doubt that there must be something wrong with your calculations, because this is not physics!"

"But it's very mathematical." Lu Zhou was immediately unhappy when he heard that the results of his labor were ruthlessly denied, and tried to argue with reason, "I don't know if you have noticed that the FTIR of sample No. 4 In the chart, at the age of 8-12h, the migration speed of the characteristic peak at 800-1025cm^-1 between the CNTs-doped sample and the blank sample is basically the same! What does this mean?"

He believed that his calculations would not be wrong.

What's more, after discovering this problem, he recalculated at least three times!

Lu Zhou's tough attitude made Qian Zhongming slightly startled, and his stubborn attitude softened a little because of hesitation.

After staring at the chart for a long time, he pinched his chin and fell into deep thought.

The argument between the two attracted Liu Bo who was sitting next to him for sample analysis.

After asking the reason for the dispute, Senior Brother Liu stared at the several A4 papers on the table with an intriguing expression on his face.

"CNTs materials have no effect on the hydration reaction of Portland cement at an early age? This is really incredible. If this conclusion is correct, it can even be published as a separate research result."

"I think so too, it's unbelievable," Senior Brother Qian nodded in agreement, and then shook his head again, "From the perspective of molecular dynamics, this is impossible. The highly delocalized large π on the side of the carbon nanotube bond, it is bound to interfere with the polymerization process of the silicon-oxygen tetrahedron..."

Brother Liu objected: "But this is just one of the views of many schools, maybe it is not correct, or there are omissions..."

Looking at the two people who were involved in the discussion, Lu Zhou didn't speak, and couldn't get in the way, because he couldn't understand what they were discussing at the end.

The lines were interlaced like mountains, as if he was talking about the optimal inversion theory of linear functionals, the two of them would be equally dumbfounded and incomprehensible.

Looking at the two people discussing, Lu Zhou couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Sure enough, I still have to improve my knowledge level.

To enter the truly cutting-edge scientific research field, a degree in mathematics may not be enough...

Otherwise, wait for the system to come out with a complete black technology blueprint for him, I'm afraid he will be blind in both eyes and can't even touch the door.

In fact, if Lu Zhou has an understanding of material physics, he will know that the international academic community does not have a "clear conclusion" about the strengthening mechanism of carbon nanotubes on composite materials.

Although the proper addition of carbon nanotubes to the material can improve the strength of the material, it has been confirmed in many fields. For example, the most typical carbon nanotube/4# steel is synthesized by laser alloying and post-quenching process, and the hardness of the composite material can reach HRC69...

However, how carbon nanotubes do this is currently only a theoretical conjecture based on macroscopic phenomena. Therefore, if you see different explanations in different textbooks, don't be surprised, because this thing itself does not have a "conclusive conclusion".

And what Brother Qian said is one of the mainstream conjectures about the mechanism of carbon nanotubes strengthening cement materials.

As for whether this conjecture is correct, or whether it can be applied to this subject...

To be honest, he didn't study it too deeply, but used it directly as a conclusion.

If Lu Zhou's calculation is correct, it will undoubtedly provide a strong counterexample to falsify this conjecture.

But this is too unexpected and too ridiculous!

After a while, Senior Brother Qian and Senior Brother Liu seemed to have reached a consensus and looked at Lu Zhou.

After pondering for a moment, Qian Zhongming spoke.

"I can't give you an answer right away...I need to conduct an experiment."

"If your calculations are correct."

"This will be a major discovery!"

Lu Zhou immediately asked: "How important is it?"

Liu Bo smiled and said: "I can't say how important it is, but it is of great significance to the field of carbon nanotube material research. At least it can save latecomers from many detours. Of course, academic The value is definitely not as good as your proof of that world problem."

Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly, and said modestly: "It's all false."

"What you said is that academic matters can only be divided into yes or no, so there is nothing false or true." Liu Bo shook his head with a smile, paused for a moment, and continued, "As Senior Brother Qian said, this thing is still It needs experimental proof, and I can't give you a definite answer without experimental proof. Also, can I ask you something with a thick skin?"

Lu Zhou asked, "What's the matter?"

Qian Zhongming coughed dryly, and said embarrassingly: "About your mathematical proof, can you wait until our project is over before publishing it? Because not only we are doing research in this area, but Zheda is also doing it as far as we know... ..."

Publishing this research result now is equivalent to clearing the obstacles to the end for the opponent. Maybe others will also walk into this dead end?

This possibility is still great!

Although it is a little unkind to do so, it is related to whether the scientific research funds and half a year's hard work are in vain. Even Qian Zhongming, who is not good at words, has no choice but to make this request with the cheek.

"I thought what was going on, that's all, it's easy to talk about," Lu Zhou smiled and said indifferently.

This conclusion can be found, mostly by accident. And without the experimental data provided by Senior Brother Qian and Senior Brother Liu as a support, it would be impossible for him to write a lot of formulas out of thin air, let alone discover this unexpected conclusion.

According to the usual practice, the names of the two senior brothers can also be listed in the positions of the second and third works.

For the second and third works of the paper, their opinions should still be referred to.

This is both a matter of manners and morals.

Qian Zhongming: "The end of next month at the latest, or the end of this month if sooner! I guarantee that the results will be published, and you will have no problem publishing this paper when the time comes."

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, just let me know when the time comes."

In fact, Lu Zhou still needs to take a little risk. After all, if someone comes to the same conclusion at this time and publishes the paper first, then the results of his five-day continuous struggle will be in vain.

However, the overall situation is the most important thing in everything.

And it's very unlikely...

The matter was so important that Qian Zhongming immediately called Professor Li Rongen.

Professor Li didn't say anything on the phone, but asked Qian Zhongming to take Lu Zhou's first draft of the thesis and a few samples placed in the laboratory of the new campus, and immediately went to the laboratory of the old campus.

If Lu Zhou's conclusions drawn by mathematical methods are correct, then their experiments have clearly gone wrong.

However, it is not too late to correct it now!
