I Have a Research Support System

After the group meeting, Xu Qiu started to prepare the Chinese version press release of his two AM and NC articles.

In the email forwarded by Mr. Wei, there was only a general request, about 1,000 words of text, plus a picture, there is no fixed template, and you need to play freely.

However, for Xu Qiu, who has experience in writing various papers and materials, this kind of press release is naturally hard for him.

After a little thought, Xu Qiu came up with an idea, starting with the still hot NC article, translating, copying, and pasting one-stop...

First write a paragraph as an introduction, highlighting the advantages of non-fullerene materials, and then lead out the work recently published in the group, then introduce the specific work of this article, finally hang the link of the article, and then put a few representative The characterization pictures were spliced ​​into one picture through PPT, which was successfully completed.

Xu Qiu spent another ten minutes to complete the press release of the other AM article in the same way, checked for typos, and sent the two files to Mr. Wei by email.

In the afternoon, Han Jiaying went to Zhangjiang to synthesize H2x series molecules.

Chen Wanqing stayed at the Handan campus. She approached Xu Qiu and said, "Student, do you think I should start writing articles based on the existing system, or should I continue to optimize the molecular structure? Now this IDT-T(EH )-ICIN system efficiency is 6.7%, and it is estimated that it can reach 7% at most.”

The senior sister’s new system took a month, tried two ideas, and synthesized four materials. If the results are published, it will take more than a month. If her device efficiency can be further optimized to 7 %, if you are lucky enough to be able to publish AM’s sub-journals AEM, AFM and other medium-level journals in the first district, if you are lucky, you may be weak in the first or second district.

This is where she struggles. If the existing achievements are settled, the article may not be published very well, but if it continues to optimize and spend another month, it may still be impossible to make further breakthroughs. Time was wasted.

This is the case with research related to organic synthesis. The cycle is very long. If one is unlucky and cannot synthesize something, it will take half a month, or even a month.

Moreover, the senior sister’s writing skills are really urgent. She comes with a DEBUFF that reduces the success rate of submissions by 20-30%. The words and sentences are carefully considered, and at most they are slightly polished and improved.

Just like strengthening equipment in online games, blank board weapons have a poor foundation, and they can be strengthened to +15, which is not as good as the golden legend +8 and +9 of the same level.

Xu Qiu thought about it for a while and said, "If it's a further optimized route, I might be able to make some suggestions. This kind of thing..."

Afterwards, he spread his hands and said, "I heard that when people are hesitant, they can flip a coin to decide. The moment the coin is flipped, the result is already doomed. Why don't you come too, senior sister?" Give it a try?"

Chen Wanqing struggled for a while, without tossing a coin, and said, "I'd better write the article first. The efficiency of this system has a chance to increase by 7%, and there is still a chance to publish it in the first district." After getting it in hand, I started a new job while organizing and writing articles, which was a balance between the two options.

"7%, there must be no problem." Xu Qiu took the time to check the results of the simulation laboratory. The senior sister's new IDT-T(EH)-ICIN system has a maximum efficiency of 7.22%, which is new in the simulation laboratory II. After adding a simulation experimenter, the performance exploration time did not decrease significantly, and it still took 4 hours to complete.

For this phenomenon, Xu Qiu first thought of the problem mentioned in "The Mythical Man-Month", "A complicated job needs 10 months to be carried out by 10 people, but when it is expanded to 100 people, the time cannot be shortened to 1 month. "Because for complex projects, the time cost of communication between people accounts for a large proportion. The more people there are, the more time will be consumed in this aspect.

After Xu Qiu thought about it carefully, the two are not completely different. After all, there is no communication cost between the two simulation experimenters here, but the experiment itself has many fixed time costs. For example, the evaporation time cannot exempt.

"By the way, Xu Qiu," Chen Wanqing asked suddenly: "There are four paths we discussed before, and you should do experiments after your defense. Which path do you plan to start with, to expand the conjugate length of the D unit, modify the The side chain of unit D, or start with the ICIN of unit A?"

"Me..." Xu Qiu stroked his chin and said jokingly, "Children only do multiple-choice questions. Of course I want all of them."

"It's so fierce..." Chen Wanqing was stunned for a moment, but subconsciously believed what Xu Qiu said, and said with a light smile, "Then I will rely on you."

Xu Qiu nodded. His system is similar to that of senior sister. If he develops any new structural unit, it can be applied to senior sister's side at the same time. This is the benefit of multi-person cooperation and multi-point blossoming.

Now that the system has just been upgraded, and he has already bought the relevant medicines in advance, Xu Qiu is going to deal with the next defense, so he will do a big job!

June 1st, Tuesday.

The graduation thesis defense in the department was arranged on this day.

There are a total of more than 80 undergraduates in the senior year of the Department of Materials Science and Technology. Now the three majors are defending separately, and each department is presided over by the corresponding director of the teaching and research section.

The main reason is that there are too many students. Even if they are divided into three groups, there are nearly 30 students in each major. It takes ten minutes for each person to make a normal report, and five minutes for the answering expert to ask questions. If there are four people in an hour, it will take a full days to complete.

The counselor Yu Qiang arranged the order of defense for each student according to the student number, from nine o'clock in the morning to six o'clock in the evening, with a one-hour break in the middle for the defense teacher to have a boxed lunch.

Because the time lasts for a whole day, it is impossible for students to wait on the spot all the time, so the small monitors of each major are in charge of the scene. They need to stay at each defense location, be responsible for reporting the progress of the defense in real time, and contact the last few defenses in time s student.

During the senior year, people were very busy, the class activities were almost 0, and the class leaders basically did nothing, and now they can be regarded as playing a role.

Xu Qiu checked his defense arrangement, his student number was relatively high, and he was ranked fourth, that is, the time period from 9:45 am to 10:00 am, at the familiar Advanced Materials Building 2 floor conference room.

This time, unlike the previous postgraduate interviews, the graduation design defense was basically just a formality, and Xu Qiu has a very rich experience in reporting, so he had no psychological pressure, arrived at the scene ten minutes earlier, and had a fight with the small monitor. Saying hello, leisurely leaning against the wall, opened the starting point, and read the novel.

Soon, the door of the conference room opened, and the last respondent came out, a person Xu Qiu was familiar with, Sun Yifan, and he only had time to wave to Sun Yifan before being called by the squad leader: "Xu Qiu, this way. "

Holding the laser pointer that the squad leader gave him, Xu Qiu took a deep breath and entered the meeting room.

He glanced around briefly, and found that the structure of the defense venue was similar to that of ordinary class. The speaker was on the podium, operating a laser pointer, and reporting through a projector, while the defense experts below sat in the first row of seats.

There are a total of six defense experts. Zhou Mathematics is the team leader and sits in the middle. Wei Xingsi sits on his right. Today he is dressed very formally, with a shirt, suit and tie. Counselor Yu Qiang sits on Wei Xingsi's right. It belongs to the materialization teaching and research section, so generally any activities will be participated in the materialization side.

There are also three teachers on the left of Zhou Mathematics. Xu Qiu knows them all. Although he can call them by name, when he sees their faces, he first thinks of the courses they teach, not their names. ", one on "Polymer Condensed Matter Physics", and one on "Material Chemical Chemistry", these are all teachers who offer professional courses.

Every teacher in colleges and universities must offer a course. This is a rigid rule, and even the head of the department is no exception. However, if teachers do not like to participate in school activities or lectures, there is a way. They can either find someone to teach together, or Choose to open elective courses, compare water.

Those who choose to offer professional courses generally like to participate in school activities, and therefore they can often meet people in various departmental activities.

The special one here is Wei Xingsi. He generally doesn't like to participate in this kind of school activities for students, because there is no good in having too many things. He didn't go to Tian Qing's graduation defense last year. This time, he came here purely for Xu Qiu. .

There is a computer at the defense site, and the defense PPT file has been submitted to the monitor before starting the defense, and is responsible for saving it on the computer desktop, which can be started directly. In order to prevent accidents, Xu Qiu also brought an extra USB flash drive with a copy inside .

However, Xu Qiu tried the files on the computer, there was no problem, and they could be opened normally.

Press F5 to start the screening mode, and Xu Qiu began to report: "Good morning, teachers, I am Xu Qiu, majoring in materials chemistry from the Department of Materials Science, my student number is 1xx..., and my instructor is Professor Wei Xingsi from the Department of Materials Science. The theme of the graduation design defense is..."
