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

Hearing Liu Xu's words, Ning Chen also felt a little flattered.

"Dean Liu, this is not good. In fact, Teacher Xu has done a lot of work in it. I will feel uneasy if I take all the bonuses by myself."

Ning Chen felt that if Xu Zhou really felt that half of the bonus was too little, the worst they could do was re-divide the ratio. Xu Zhou couldn't be allowed to get nothing.

"Ning Chen, you don't have to feel uneasy. Since Teacher Xu Zhou has made this decision, you can just take the five hundred thousand reward with peace of mind."

Seeing what Liu Xu said, Ning Chen couldn't say anything more. After thanking Liu Xu again, he hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Ning Chen still felt a little guilty, so he went to Xu Zhou's laboratory to see if he could persuade Xu Zhou again.

"Ning Chen, you're here."

Seeing Ning Chen coming over, Xu Zhou didn't seem to be in such a high mood, which made Ning Chen feel something strange.

I just published an article in "Nature". As the instructor and corresponding author, Xu Zhou should be very happy these days.

"Could it be that it was not Xu Zhou's own idea not to receive the bonus?"

Thinking of this, Ning Chen asked:

"Teacher Xu, I heard from Dean Liu that you want to give me your share of the bonus?"

"Well, I am lucky enough to be able to take advantage of you and publish this paper with you. Why am I embarrassed to ask for a bonus?"

Xu Zhou knew in his heart that the core work of the entire project was completed by Ning Chen himself, and the work he did would not have a fundamental impact on Ning Chen's experimental results.

"Teacher Xu, is this really of your own free will?"

"Nonsense, can someone point a gun at me and stop me from receiving this bonus?"

With his understanding of Xu Zhou, Ning Chen knew that this should really be Xu Zhou's voluntary behavior.

"Teacher Xu, why don't you take a little less? If you don't take any, I always feel bad."

"What do you have to feel sorry for? You can go to the cafeteria to treat me to a meal later, and this matter will just go away."

"Hmm... That's okay, Teacher Xu, you choose the most expensive one." Ning Chen smiled.

"Okay, no more joking. Ning Chen, I suggest you do experiments with other teachers in the future. There are many better and more senior teachers in our college. My ability and qualifications are too shallow. I'm afraid I don't have the ability to lead you."

Hearing what Xu Zhou said, Ning Chen gradually understood what Xu Zhou was worried about.

"Teacher Xu, your qualifications may be lower than other teachers, but there is absolutely no problem with your ability. You can stay in school for two years and be promoted to associate professor. Why do you have any doubts about your ability?"

Ning Chen knew that Xuzhou might have received more attention because this paper was about to be published in Nature, which also put him under greater pressure.

But Ning Chen also knew that Xuzhou would make many outstanding achievements after this, proving that he had strong enough scientific research capabilities.

After hearing Ning Chen's words, Xu Zhou seemed to understand something.

"Hey, what you said makes sense. You just told me to invite me to the cafeteria for dinner. Don't forget it later."

"Okay, I will definitely not forget it." Ning Chen smiled.

In fact, the reason why Ning Chen chose Xu Zhou as his instructor before was that in addition to Xu Zhou's strong professional ability, Ning Chen also liked the way Xu Zhou got along with his students.

In private, Xu Zhou and the students would be like friends, which would relieve Ning Chen from any psychological burden.

When getting along with some old professors, Ning Chen may often worry about whether he will be criticized for saying something wrong or not doing something well. This is a state that Ning Chen does not like.

As for another reason why Xu Zhou was unwilling to accept the bonus, Ning Chen thought it was because Xu Zhou was a very pure person for academics.

Other teachers might not consider giving up this bonus at all. After all, the corresponding author is responsible for a research result, and it is natural to receive a bonus.

Xuzhou, on the other hand, hopes to truly rely on his own research to achieve results, or at least play a decisive role in the entire project.

In the evening, Ning Chen really invited Xu Zhou to the cafeteria for a meal. Xu Zhou was not polite to Ning Chen and spent more than 20 yuan on Ning Chen, which exceeded the upper limit of the meal card. Ning Chen had to enter the meal. The card password can be used to continue payment.

After the meal, Ning Chen felt that Xu Zhou and he really seemed like friends. Of course, in terms of psychological age, the two people were indeed very close in age.

…

With the release of the next issue of "Nature", Ning Chen's article "Preparation of porous silicon nanoparticles and their application in lithium-ion battery anodes" has also been officially published.

After Ning Chen's paper was officially published, the school also started to process the bonus for this paper. Ning Chen only waited for the bonus to be officially received, and then he paid off Zhou Li's loan and then replaced it with a high-configuration computer. Let Xiaozhi learn better.

Because the research results of the paper may have great application value, this paper has attracted the attention of many people.

Some materials laboratories are already preparing to replicate this experiment at Shengzhou University.

Various media outlets also made some gimmicky reports on this research.

"Shocked! The lithium battery industry will enter a new era!"

"The Materials Laboratory of Shengzhou University has developed a new lithium battery that can increase battery capacity by 40%!"

"Silicon-based negative electrode lithium battery, the new energy code!"

As for the defects of silicon-based negative electrode lithium batteries described in the paper, there is no indication in the titles of these reports.

After seeing these media reports, Ning Chen also felt very dumbfounded.

"Seeing these news, I feel that silicon-based lithium batteries will be available tomorrow."

In fact, due to the serious shortcomings in the life of silicon-based lithium batteries, it is not known how long it will take to truly apply this technology.

…

After the school's approval, the five hundred thousand bonus was finally credited to Ning Chen's bank card.

As soon as she got the bonus, Ning Chen called Zhou Li.

"Sister Zhou, give me your bank card number and I will send you the money."

Zhou Li was also a little surprised when she heard Ning Chen's words.

"You collected two hundred thousand yuan so quickly? There's no need to be in such a hurry."

"Sister Zhou, I recently published an essay and the school gave me some bonuses. Please send me your card number and I will call you later."

"Okay, then I'll send it to you on QQ."

Because the transfer amount was relatively large, Ning Chen went to a nearby bank and completed the transfer procedures at the window.

"Teacher Ning, I have received the money here. When you come to class next time, you want to take back the IOU."

"Okay, please, Sister Zhou."

After finally paying off Zhou Li's loan, a stone in Ning Chen's heart finally fell.

From now on, Ning Chen really felt that the house in Xiangdu Garden was completely his own property.

After completing this task, Ning Chen also began to think about changing computers.

What makes Ning Chen a little confused is whether he should buy a laptop or a desktop computer.

At the same price, desktop computers undoubtedly have higher performance.

Laptops are more convenient to carry. Whether you go to the laboratory or to other places, you will definitely still have to carry your laptop with you.

However, Ning Chen quickly made a decision after a brief moment of confusion.

“Since desktop computers and laptops have their own advantages, why not buy them both together?”

Ning Chen now owns a property that was fully paid for, and has about 400,000 yuan left in his bank card. It can be said that the funds are very abundant.

Even if you buy two top-of-the-line computers, tens of thousands of yuan is enough. Of course, Ning Chen will definitely not consider such overly luxurious but flashy accessories.

After all, children make the choices, and of course adults want them all.

"The desktop computer is kept at home for Xiaozhi to study and upgrade. The laptop is carried with him for various scientific research work. Well, that's it."

Since laptops are sold as complete machines, there won’t be much difficulty in choosing them. However, there are a lot of tricks in desktop computers. If you go directly to someone in a computer store to install them, you may inevitably run into pitfalls.

Ning Chen decided to choose the accessories for the console by himself, and after buying the accessories, he installed it himself.

This is not difficult for Ning Chen. After all, they are both engineering students and they still have some practical skills.

After researching the current computer accessories, Ning Chen quickly made an installation list.
