Start as a top student and move towards the stars and the sea

"No, no, no, it's nothing, and it just gives me a chance to practice." Ning Chen said with a smile.

Sui Fengxin said that if every junior student who came to the laboratory in the future was like Ning Chen, then his daily work would be much easier.

What Sui Feng didn't know was that days like this wouldn't last long.

After a period of laboratory internship, Ning Chen's experience in materials science was very close to 100 points.

During this period, Ning Chen's study intensity was very high. During the day, between experiments, Ning Chen would also take time to study various professional courses in materials science.

After returning to the dormitory, Ning Chen still would not rest immediately. Instead, he would continue to study until around 12 o'clock, and then wash up and go to bed until he felt sleepy.

With Ning Chen's current physical condition, 6 hours of sleep a day is enough to restore Ning Chen's full energy.

Finally, on this night, Ning Chen's materials subject experience reached one hundred points.

When Ning Chen's materials subject was upgraded to Level 1, Ning Chen felt that the knowledge about materials science in his brain had been reorganized in a wonderful way.

This feeling is like joining together the messy puzzle pieces to form a complete pattern.

Although the quantity of knowledge will not change, the overall level of knowledge has improved qualitatively.

This kept Ning Chen's brain running at a high speed.

A few minutes passed before Ning Chen felt that his brain's operation had slowed down.

"What an incredible transformation. I think now I can try again and see if I can find some breakthroughs from those materials."

Ning Chen has not yet utilized the rewards he received from the system regarding silicon-based anode materials for lithium batteries.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen retrieved relevant information from the system interface and concentrated on analyzing it.

"No...even though I already have some feelings, it's still a little bit off."

This time, Ning Chen could clearly feel that his understanding of these materials had improved by more than one level compared to before.

However, maybe because the data is too incomplete, or maybe because Ning Chen's current mental index is not enough, Ning Chen still cannot find a breakthrough in scientific research topics.

After thinking about it, Ning Chen first recited it silently in his mind.

"System, if you want to complete the research data on silicon-based anode materials for lithium batteries, how many energy points do you need to spend?"

Ning Chen didn't really want to spend energy to complete it, he just wanted to politely ask the price first.

[The system is under evaluation...]

[Evaluation completed, a total of 9,000 energy points are required]

Looking at the 9 points of energy left in his backpack, Ning Chen didn't know what to say.

"Energy points are obviously so difficult to earn, and the prices of system products are still so high... I really don't understand the meaning of a system mall. Is it just to make me realize my poverty?"

But thinking that even if he really had 9,000 energy points, he would not conduct such a transaction, Ning Chen finally calmed down a little.

Ning Chen vaguely wondered whether the system was using this method to prevent him from relying too much on the functions of the system, or at least not always thinking about the knowledge of the free prostitution system.

"Forget it, at the worst, just keep studying and wait until your knowledge level improves."

Ning Chen knew that his current knowledge level might be better than that of many undergraduate students majoring in materials, but in the entire materials science research community, it was only insignificant.

At this moment, Ning Chen suddenly remembered something.

In the system backpack, Ning Chen still had eleven hours of unused excitement mode.

With Ning Chen's current ability and the blessing of excitement mode, Ning Chen felt that he should be able to open a breakthrough in scientific research projects from this incomplete information.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen first sent a message to Sui Feng on QQ, saying that he had something to do tomorrow and might go to the laboratory later.

After saying this, Ning Chen said silently in his mind:

"System, turn on excitement mode!"

[Excitement mode has been turned on for the system]

[Warm reminder: The excitement mode consumes a lot of the host's brainpower. Please pay attention to the continuous use time of the excitement mode. If the system detects that the host's energy reaches the limit, it will automatically interrupt the excitement mode for the host]

Because Ning Chen did not set the usage time of excitement mode this time, the system specially reminded Ning Chen.

Immediately, Ning Chen felt that his brain was unusually excited, and the feeling of drinking several cans of bull in a row came back.

Not wanting to think too much, Ning Chen quickly focused on the information in his mind, running his brain quickly.

With the blessing of excitement mode, Ning Chen's brain was like a computer CPU turning on overclocking mode, constantly thinking about this incomplete information.

After an unknown amount of time, Ning Chen finally connected some of the fragmented information together, and after sorting and processing, he formed some reasonable theories.

"That's it... As long as silicon nanoparticles with a porous structure can be prepared and doped with part of boron, the material's storage capacity for lithium ions can be improved. If it is applied to the negative electrode material of lithium batteries, Theoretically, the energy density of lithium batteries can be increased.”

If these hypotheses can be confirmed in experiments, it will undoubtedly be a good research result and may even be applied to lithium batteries.

However, Ning Chen recalled the memories of his previous life, and it seemed that until 2023, the relevant technology was not really used in lithium batteries.

"If I guess correctly, there should be some disadvantages to using silicon-based materials as the negative electrode of lithium batteries."

But no matter what, as long as the theory can be confirmed, there will definitely be no problem in publishing the paper, and there is even hope of impacting several top academic journals related to materials science.

Of course, these current inferences are only a small part of the information Ning Chen got from this incomplete information.

However, Ning Chen no longer had the energy to continue thinking deeply. The continuous high-intensity mental activities had almost reached the limit of Ning Chen's brain.

"System, turn off excitement mode!"

[Excitement mode has been turned off for the system]

After exiting the excitement mode, Ning Chen did not completely lose his excitement immediately. It was like running a hundred meters at full speed, but his body was still in a state of excitement.

Looking at the time, Ning Chen was surprised to find that he had been in excitement mode for nearly three hours.

"It seems that the limit of my brain can only sustain the excitement mode for three hours."

While his brain could still work, Ning Chen quickly recorded his inferences.

These inferences are likely to be a breakthrough for his future scientific research projects, so Ning Chen naturally does not dare to slack off in any way.

After completing all the recording work based on memory, Ning Chen no longer had any strength, collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.

A dreamless night.

When Ning Chen woke up, he was surprised to find that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon the next day.

"I actually... slept for almost fifteen hours?"

Ning Chen was a little surprised at the rest time he had this time. After all, Ning Chen usually only needed six hours of sleep a day to regain all his energy.

"It seems that it was a right choice not to use the excitement mode rashly during the autumn games."

If I really used the excitement mode at that time, I might miss the exam the next day.

Even if you force yourself to wake up early, I'm afraid your brain will be in a hazy state and you won't be able to perform at its normal level.

Fortunately, after adequate rest, Ning Chen did not suffer any side effects from using the excitement mode.

Ning Chen quickly got up and washed up, went to a restaurant outside the school to have a quick bite, and then came to the materials laboratory.

Sui Feng seemed to have been waiting for Ning Chen to come over, and his mood suddenly improved after seeing Ning Chen.

"Ning Chen, you are finally here. I am about to do the next set of experiments. Are you going to change into the lab coat now?"

Sui Feng was used to the days when Ning Chen actively helped her with experiments. This morning, Ning Chen was not around, and Sui Feng felt as if something was missing.

Naturally, Ning Chen is not here to help Sui Feng do experiments today. Ning Chen has completed the training in the Novice Village these days, and it is time to climb to a higher mountain.

"Brother Sui, is Teacher Xu here?"

"Here, are you looking for him?"

"Well, I have something to do with Teacher Xu, so I won't help you with the experiments."
