The Science Fiction World of Xueba

When Xu Xincheng received the call from Pang Xuelin, he was also obviously taken aback.

It never occurred to him that Pang Xuelin would come back for Jiang Daguai, a master in the field of electrochemistry, after a trip abroad.

Although Kirton Walker has been obsessed with the research of lithium-air batteries in recent years and has been quiet in the academic world, but based on his early achievements, he is eligible for the Nobel Prize. It's all about queuing up to live longer.

Half an hour later, Xu Xincheng and Li Xiang, dean of the School of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering of Jiangda University, hurried over.

After exchanging pleasantries, at the invitation of Xu Xincheng, a reception banquet was arranged for Cotton Walker, and they discussed the next thing that Cotton Walker would join Jiangda University.

After lunch, Li Xiang called several teachers from the School of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering and asked them to help Kirton Walker go through various procedures.

After all, Kirton Walker came to Jiangda quite suddenly this time. For the visa alone, he needed to change the l (tourism) visa to the r visa. In addition, he needed to make other arrangements for all aspects of life and work.

When Kirton Walker left, Li Xiang frowned and said, "Professor Pang, I just heard from Professor Walker that the reason why he is willing to come to Jiangda University is because you are willing to help him raise research and development funds in the field of lithium-air batteries?"

Pang Xuelin smiled and nodded.

Xu Xincheng asked curiously, "Old Li, is there any problem?"

Li Xiang said with a strange face: "A few years ago, Kirton Walker also went to DuPont with an idea, and DuPont invested more than 10 million dollars in him, plus the millions of dollars he raised himself. Twenty million U.S. dollars. As a result, so much money was spent, and the water didn't splash."

Xu Xincheng couldn't help but gasped.

Twenty million U.S. dollars, nearly 140 million yuan.

In order to develop high-purity single-wall carbon nanotubes and large-size single-layer graphene materials for Pang Xuelin, Jiang Da only raised tens of millions of funds for him.

And this is the case that these few projects of Pang Xuelin are very feasible, and the remaining funding gap must also be solved by Pang Xuelin himself.

And after Kirton Walker lost more than 100 million yuan in funding, Pang Xuelin even promised the other party to do research in this field.

Although Kirton Walker's level is indeed high, but with the scientific research funding that Jiang University receives every year, he can't afford Walker to be such a prodigal.

Pang Xuelin naturally saw Xu Xincheng's hesitation, and said with a smile: "Principal Xu, Walker's research funding in the field of lithium-air batteries, I will solve it for him here, and there is no need to allocate funds from Jiang University. You only need to set up for him. The corresponding laboratory and team will do. As for his usual teaching work, the school can also arrange it on its own."

Xu Xincheng was taken aback for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Professor Pang, are you really optimistic about Cotton Walker's research in the field of lithium-air batteries?"

Pang Xuelin smiled faintly and nodded.

As long as the large-scale single-layer graphene film material is obtained, it is only a step away from the real lithium-air battery. Of course, he is optimistic.

Xu Xincheng hesitated.

Pang Xuelin is in the fields of high-purity single-walled carbon nanotubes and large-scale single-layer graphene,

They've all come to fruition.

Especially for high-purity single-walled carbon nanotube materials, it is said that Xinkai Materials Co., Ltd. is preparing for mass production, and mass production will begin early next year.

At present, many people in the industry have set their sights on this project, and even many units and companies have placed orders with Xinkai Materials in advance.

Once the mass production is successful, Xinkai Materials will get a golden egg that can continuously lay chickens in the future, and Jiangcheng University will also get a large amount of income because of its participation in this project.

Now, Pang Xuelin has set his sights on the lithium-air battery field that everyone is not optimistic about.

The risks here are simply too great.

Xu Xincheng hesitated for a long time before letting out a long sigh and choosing to give up.

Pang Xuelin smiled slightly. It would be best for Xu Xincheng to give up voluntarily. Even if Jiang University is willing to support it in terms of funds, he is not willing to share too much profit in lithium-air batteries.

After all, the interests involved in this battery are too huge.

In the afternoon, Pang Xuelin accepted an exclusive interview with Dong Qing in a reception room of the School of Materials Engineering.

For the next week, life went smoothly.

Dong Qing and his filming team returned to Beijing directly after completing the filming task.

According to Dong Qing, the show will be broadcast next weekend.

Kirton Walker has also successfully joined Jiangda University, and even started to form his own research team with the help of his assistants.

During the weekend, Yao Bingxia flew over from the capital.

The two hadn't seen each other for more than a month, and spent two days in Pang Xuelin's apartment on the weekend.

On Sunday night, Pang Xuelin took Yao Bingxia back to his grandparents' house, had dinner together, and watched his exclusive interview with his family.

News came from Dong Qing that Pang Xuelin's personal interview will be broadcast on the "Face to Face" program at 9:30 p.m.

At the same time, "Oriental Time and Space" that night will also broadcast Pang Xuelin's special program. The specific content is the material that Dong Qing and Pang Xuelin cut out during those two days.

Pang Xuelin knew very well that the high-level executives were building momentum for the upcoming National Highest Science and Technology Award. After all, he was still relatively young in the academic world, and he needed to let the media and the public know him better.

After the meal, Yao Bingxia and Pang Xuelin were on the sofa, and the old man Yao and his grandparents were also seated in the living room, waiting for the program to start.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the "Oriental Time and Space" column officially started.

"Good evening, audience friends, welcome to tonight's Oriental Time and Space."

"The main content of today's program, we will lead you to meet a young scholar."

"He is the youngest professor in the Department of Mathematics in the history of River City University, the youngest winner of the i double award in history, and the youngest winner of the American Mathematical Society's Cole Algebra Award in history."

"His achievements have been widely praised by the international mathematics community. Ponzi's geometry theory, bsd conjecture, abc conjecture, twin prime conjecture, Polygnac conjecture, nonlinear partial differential equation solution... These achievements are taking him one step further. Step up to the throne of mathematics in the 21st century."

"Professor Pierre Deligne, an internationally renowned mathematician, commented: He is the greatest mathematician in the 21st century, and is likely to be one of the greatest mathematicians in history! His achievements will profoundly affect the future The direction of development of mathematics for hundreds of years!"

"And he just turned twenty-four years old!"

"Next, please follow our column group and walk into the work and life of Dr. Pang Xuelin, a famous mathematician in my country, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and professor of the Department of Mathematics of Jiangcheng University."
