Great Country Academician

In the conference room, Fan Peng smiled more and said after seeing the melancholy on Ji Lili's face.

"Believe me, your choice today is definitely the right one."

Ji Lixue calmed down, smiled, and said: "Academician Xu is a man who can create miracles. Following him, we can see a wider world."

He did not mean what he said against his will. For people like them, who are more inferior than superiors and more than inferior, if they want to cross levels and see a wider world, they must work hard and have a lot of luck. Such a slight possibility.

Or, if you choose to follow the right person, you can rise to great heights.

And now, the opportunity is right in front of them.

Fan Pengyue smiled and said, "Now that the financing cooperation has been confirmed, Academician Xu hopes that we can start relevant research work as soon as possible."

After a slight pause, he continued: "As for tomorrow's hydrogen energy, I need you to separate the research laboratory, staff, patents and related technologies of the diaphragm liquid compression hydrogen fuel cell from the parent company as soon as possible. "

"The Chuanhai Materials Research Institute will provide corresponding funds, a new office address and some other help, and the two will be merged to form a new hydrogen fuel cell project."

"As for the office address of the new project, it is planned to be in Jinling. Your company's relevant research team needs to leave as soon as possible."

"Taking into account the change of office address, those who are willing to go to Jinling to continue research will have their basic salary increased by 10% on the original basis. Those who are unwilling to go, you can choose to stay in your own company or be laid off. It's up to you. ”

In the conference room, Ji Lixue and Xue Lu both nodded.

These are the terms included in the financing contract. Since it is determined to accept the investment from Academician Xu, it is natural to proceed in accordance with his requirements.

What's more, they are the real big bosses now, they are just part-time workers.

After discussing the relevant work, Fan Pengyue did not stay too much in the conference room.

On the one hand, he had other work to deal with at the Asia-Pacific Science and Technology Innovation Investment Summit. On the other hand, he also needed to report to Xu Chuan on the completion of the financing contract negotiations.

At the same time, on the other side, Jinling.

In the office of Xinghai Research Institute, Xu Chuan held the phone in his hand and listened to the report of master Xiong Fan Pengyue.

"Well, I understand, thank you for your hard work."

After briefly listening to the financing process, he smiled and said: "This cooperation is mainly aimed at the proton isolation membrane in the diaphragm hydrogen fuel cell. The relevant patents and technologies will be transferred to the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute. Come on."

"Research in this area, combined with the lithium-air battery project, will continue to advance, and there will be nothing else."

On the other side of the phone, Senior Brother Fan said, "Well, I'm already doing this."

"In addition, at the Asia-Pacific Science and Technology Innovation Investment Summit, many foreign battery manufacturers approached us and hoped to cooperate with us to obtain lithium-sulfur battery production technology and produce lithium-sulfur batteries abroad. What do you think of this?"

Different from the previous patent authorization for artificial SEI films, due to the intervention of the US Patent Office, there were errors in the patent application for the core technology of lithium-sulfur batteries, which in turn led the institute to start cooperating with domestic battery manufacturers to produce batteries.

Although this path is not an exclusive authorized cooperation, foreign companies are not considered when finalizing cooperative manufacturers.

For foreign companies, when their own research and development is far behind, it is undoubtedly the best choice to find ways to cooperate with the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute for production.

Therefore, after learning that Chuanhai Materials Research Institute would participate in the Asia-Pacific Science and Technology Innovation Summit, foreign battery manufacturers came to our door one after another.

In the office, Xu Chuan thought for a while and replied: "No, just refuse."

If you want to maximize benefits, cooperation with domestic and foreign manufacturers is the best choice.

After all, domestically produced batteries may be banned by some countries for various reasons such as endangering national security. It is not that those Western countries cannot do this kind of thing.

But many times, he needs to consider far more than his own interests.

The development of lithium-sulfur batteries is crucial to the country's policy of deploying new energy fields around the world.

Although he didn't know much about politics, Wen Yuanhang had talked with him about some things before.

It can be said that lithium-sulfur batteries are currently a trump card to accelerate the deployment of new energy fields. If this trump card is played by domestic companies, it will be quite important for related development.

Of course, apart from this point, there is another point that he is actually very unhappy with these Western countries.

Not only is the United States making small moves to block patents related to lithium-sulfur batteries, there are also other Western countries cooperating with each other in an attempt to strangle the development of lithium-sulfur batteries.

Among them, there may not be any contribution from these battery manufacturers.

Now the situation was reversed, and he came to the door licking his face again, which really made him very unhappy.

If you are a businessman, you will naturally make money by being friendly and earn the maximum profit.

But he wasn't, so naturally it made him feel good.

After hanging up the call from Senior Brother Fan, Xu Chuan put the phone on the table, pulled up the keyboard, and continued his work.

To him, being favored by others is not really a big deal.

Even if someone uses the news of his investment in diaphragm-type liquid compressed hydrogen fuel cells to cause trouble in the stock market, it is nothing.

But if Sakura Country wants to take advantage of this opportunity to sell out its hydrogen fuel cell patents and open up this market, it will be a second thought.

Not just something that needs to be harmonized, but also a conflict of interest.

The card in his hand is a lithium-sulfur battery, and Sakura Country's card is a hydrogen fuel cell. Both are batteries, so if the two sides collide, they will inevitably compete for the market.

Facing the Sakura Country, there was no reason for him to help this ‘nuclear affable’ opponent expand the market!

Even if it means being heated.

Late at night, after busy for more than two days, Xu Chuan carefully checked the quantum theory paper on the microscopic substantive reaction process of electrochemistry, and after confirming that there were no problems, his eyes showed satisfaction.

The right hand holding the mouse moved, and the arxiv preprint website opened.

After logging into his account, he uploaded his revised paper in the chemistry section.

Tap your index finger to upload and make it public!

At a time when others had already fallen asleep, a paper in the field of computational chemistry and lithium-air batteries quietly landed on arxiv.

After confirming that the paper was uploaded, Xu Chuan stood up with his fingers crossed and stretched.

I picked up my phone and looked at the time. It was already past one in the morning.

"Forget it, I won't go back. Let's sleep here at the institute."

After muttering, he sent a message to Zheng Hai and then walked towards the dormitory of the institute.

As Xu Chuan uploaded his paper to Arxiv, scholars who were interested in Xu Chuan and chemistry, computational chemistry, quantum chemistry, computational materials science, electrochemistry and other fields immediately received push from arxiv.

Although it was late at night in China, it was exactly noon on the other side of the world.

California Institute of Technology, USA.

He had just eaten his lunch and was about to browse Arxiv for any new ideas before taking a lunch break. Lucas Webster noticed the jumping notification immediately.

"The quantum theory of microscopic substantive reactions in electrochemistry? But I remember that I didn't seem to pay attention to the stuff in the chemistry section, right?"

After clicking on the prompt with great interest, he discovered that the arxiv prompt for him was not a paper from the mathematics major he was interested in subscribing to, but an article from the field of chemistry.

Although he was a little confused that the paper pushed by arxiv was not in the field he subscribed to, Lucas Webster did not close the window immediately.

Having just finished lunch, he was still in a happy mood and opened the window.

Immediately, a familiar name caught his eye.

Xu Chuan.

Looking at the author's signature of the paper with some surprise, Lucas Webster reconfirmed it in surprise.

"WaT? Why did Professor Xu suddenly study chemistry?"

He stared at the paper and flipped through it curiously. Although he was interested, he could hardly understand the paper as a non-chemistry major.

At this moment, Lucas suddenly remembered something, quickly took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and dialed his friend's number.

"Hey, Jasper, I remember you were studying quantum chemistry and lithium-air batteries with Professor Caroline, right?"

"Yes, why do you ask this suddenly?"

"I found a paper on arxiv called "Quantum Theory of Microscopic Substantial Reactions in Electrochemistry and Exploration of the Mechanism of Lithium-Air Batteries". I think it may be of some help to you. Do you want to take a look?"

"The quantum theory of microscopic substantive reactions in electrochemistry? The exploration of the mechanism of lithium-air batteries? Are you sure you are right?"

On the other side of the phone, there was something strange in the voice of my friend Jasper.

"Of course, it's just a title. I'm sure I won't get it wrong." Lucas nodded and replied.

"That's nothing interesting. You're not a chemistry major, so I'm afraid you don't have a clear idea of ​​what this title means."

Jasper shrugged and said lightly: "Establishing a basic set of quantum theoretical explanations for chemical microscopic substantive reactions is the most cutting-edge problem in the chemical world."

"If converted to your mathematics major, this problem is no less difficult than the Millennium Problem of the Clay Institute of Mathematics. I don't think there is such a paper on arxiv. It is probably posted by someone in the civilian science field to deceive clicks. thing."

Hearing this, Lucas said with a strange look on his face: "Are you sure? But this paper was sent by the famous Professor Xu. It can be said that there are no problems with the papers he published so far."

"Professor Xu? Which Professor Xu? The chemical world I don't remember. Wait."

Finally reacting, Jasper asked with shock and disbelief: "Oh Shet! You're not talking about Professor Xu Chuan from your mathematics community, are you?"

"Of course, who else but him?"

"Quick, Lucas! Send me the paper now! I beg you!"
