Reborn I want everything

Chapter 101 All for Graphene ([-]-word chapter)

After all, Lu Youyou was only a sophomore in college, so she naturally couldn't understand the grand plan in her fiancé's mind immediately.

It's not that she doesn't trust Gu Zhe, it's just that as the closest person, she tries hard to understand more, even if she doesn't understand, she has to explain as much as possible.

"I don't understand what you said. Is there anything that you can only do while you are studying at Stanford? And you have to be in such a hurry? Husband, I'm not stopping you, I know your choice must be reasonable.

I also believe that you will not find other women this year when you go abroad, knowing that you look down on those white women.But I hope you will fully explain to me what you are going to do, and I will definitely keep it a secret for you. "

Gu Zhe also took a sip of the red wine in front of him: "You need an explanation, I understand, and I'll give it to you, but if you don't understand the technical details, I'll just give you a rough idea.

You should know that Stanford is the university with the best combination of production, education and research, and the commercialization of scientific research results in the world. In this field, MIT cannot compare with it.

After all, Stanford is backed by Silicon Valley, and the communication mechanism is very smooth. For new projects and research directions in the university every month, it can immediately find the corresponding Silicon Valley companies to claim sponsorship, share scientific research funds and subscribe for follow-up results.

For some things, I had to go to Stanford, so that I could pull the banner of the tiger and recruit those foreign professors to use for me-let me just say it, I am now a bit of a bottleneck in the new material technology related to additive technology.

Before making contact lens materials, I relied on my own brain and accumulation, and I found a few chemical lunatics from Zhuyuan to work hard and help me do experiments.

Now to achieve new melt-blown materials and layout new non-grinding resin lens materials, I can't just find talented students to do it.I believe that my own vision can provide the direction of strategic efforts.

But the specific experimental team must be upgraded to the master's and doctoral graduates of the school. I plan to find Professor Zheng from the Academy of Chemical Sciences in the next few days to see if he can get a few seniors who have just graduated from the doctoral master's degree during the summer vacation. Help me build a new experimental group team, high-tech high-polymer resin.

In terms of meltblown materials, I also want to find technical backbones from your father's company, and then recruit people from the outside world, and even hire a few engineers from upstream Fuso suppliers.

Every step forward in my career, more and more high-end scientific research talents will be needed to join in. I have to take one step and look at three steps.Otherwise, the career development is too fast, but the team building cannot keep up, and the latter leg is too slow, and it is easy to talk nonsense. "

When Gu Zhe said this, he paused for a while, so that Lu Youyou could digest the truth.

Lu Youyou looked at him fascinated, and then asked after a long time: "So what? After you 'three steps', do you need to hire some Stanford professors to work for you to ensure that your career continues to be stable? So you have to sneak in The Stanford circle?"

Gu Zhe rubbed his temples: "You can't say that, I did notice that some projects I plan to lay out in two years, some of the highest precision additive optics research.

Even some high-end 3D printing process material technologies that may be involved in upgrading from the technology route of melt blown require top foreign experts to join.

It doesn't have to be from the Stanford department, but as long as I go to the bureau as a Stanford graduate student or graduate doctor, I am more likely to recruit.If I was just a Tunghai University graduate, and such a boss came to organize a technology company, others would feel insecure.

Top university professors can’t be recruited with money. They also need to look at their career history. They are worried that after finding a boss with no future, they will make quick money in a short period of time. If the boss goes bankrupt in the future, they will stay. Unreliable resume stains, if you want to go back to be a professor at a top prestigious school, the window period will be closed.

Only when you have a Stanford-based Silicon Valley technology company as a cover and can be recognized by the circle, and you work in such a company for a few years, will you not be considered by the academic circles as "academic career resume interruption". This is very realistic. question. "

In the world of science and technology and academia, such implicit discrimination has always existed, and it may be difficult for laymen who do not mix in this circle to imagine.

That is, if a university professor works in a Silicon Valley technology company with a Stanford background for a few years, and he wants to return to a top university in the future, the university will not discriminate against him, and most of them will only slightly discount what he did in a Silicon Valley company. For a few years, it is also tacitly regarded as "still engaged in front-line academic research".

For example, five years of research and development at a Stanford-based Silicon Valley company is equivalent to a default discount of three years as a research professor at a top university.Although I lost two years of discounts, I didn't count you out of the circle anyway.

But if you go to an ordinary company and want to return to the academic circle in the future, the difficulty will not be so great.People in the circle will think that "this guy has cut himself off from the scientific research and academic circles" and will fall into the chain of contempt.

So for people with academic pursuits, if you are not a Stanford-based Silicon Valley company, you may not be able to recruit specific people if you have money. Many people with skills have backbone and airs.

This kind of cognition is the word-of-mouth accumulated by the Stanford Department since the 1970s on the combination of industry, education and research, and has accumulated over the past 40 to [-] years. It did not happen overnight.

This has also formed a positive feedback flywheel effect, making the strong stronger and the Matthew effect more obvious, so that when Stanford-based Silicon Valley companies are looking for scientific research experts, the inner vigilance of the experts is relaxed.

Gu Zhe himself can act independently, but he also needs to unite with the big tech giants for his use. He can't ignore the feelings of his subordinates.That being the case, there is a ready-made ride for a ride, so why be hypocritical.

The brand value of foreign universities is used to serve Chinese people, which is not shabby.

Lu Youyou pondered for a while, and finally understood the twists and turns, so she didn't do anything to obstruct it.It's just that I feel a little bit emotionally reluctant.

She has only been Gu Zhe's woman for a month, and when she thinks that her fiancé will go abroad for another year in eight months, it is inevitable that she will feel resentment about parting.

She took a deep breath, stood up and turned half of the dining table, and sat face to face on Gu Zhe's lap with her legs spread apart, taking care of her face to face coquettishly: "Then you are the most important thing, I will wait for you and support you. I will continue to apply this semester. live in school.

From today until next April, I will always be with you.After you go to the United States, during the winter and summer vacations and other holidays, I will spend at least three to four months abroad to accompany you——don’t resist!Don't make excuses to hide from me! "

"Don't worry, I won't hide from you. As long as you're not afraid of delaying your studies, you're welcome to come to the United States for inspection at any time." Gu Zhe stared at his fiancée with clear eyes and promised.

Lu Youyou's vigilance was also relaxed, and she sweetly agreed: "Then listen to you, go to see the villa and the car on the weekend first, buy the villa and hand over the house two years later, and choose carefully.

To be honest, I don't like the villa style at the end of the last century either. It's a bit too old-fashioned and the lighting is not good. "

From the end of the 90s to the beginning of this century, the design of the villa area in Ark City is best to be the European style of the Jiuxi Rose Garden in the south of the West Lake Scenic Area.

The designs at that time were all desperately leaning on the French classical style. The carved columns and eaves caps were exquisitely decorated, but the windows were too small, and the lighting of the classical houses was not good, so they could only match the yard of the French lawn and flower garden.

Lu Youyou also lived in this style of villa in Mingzhou's hometown, so it was a bit boring and felt too stale.

She wanted the kind of exterior wall with French windows that opened and closed, hidden among trees and creeks, and in summer, it was shaded by big trees, and it didn't matter if the windows were bigger.In winter, when the leaves are gone, it can be used as a sun room.

Since Gu Zhe is going abroad, he is not in a hurry to live in a house, but he can wait for the new property that has just been designed.

Anyway, the construction period of the villa is very fast, mainly because the number of floors is small, and it can be built in more than half a year, and can be started in batches and delivered in batches.Unlike those high-rise buildings, each house has been built for at least a few years, and all floors must be completed before they can be delivered.

Gu Zhe saw that she was no longer obsessed with the matter of going abroad, and of course she had to be satisfied with these little things in life, and the two hit it off immediately, and unified their opinions.

……

After having a sweet dinner and agreeing on their follow-up life plan, the two of them went directly back to the off-campus apartment. They were blocked by Lu Youyou's aunt the week before, and they lived on campus, so they couldn't bear it.Taking advantage of the feeling of parting at the moment, it just happened to vent completely.

When the relatives had just left, they didn't even need safety measures, they were completely frank and honest, and it took them half a night, and it was after midnight that Lu Youyou fell asleep.

Gu Zhe confirmed that the girl was unconscious, so he quietly got up with a heavy heart, put on a windbreaker, poured half a glass of gin with ice, walked to the balcony, and thought about his plan.

At dinner just now, the plan he told Lu Youyou can only be said to be [-]% true and [-]% false. It's not that he intends to deceive, but some things involve the foresight of the reborn person. It really can't be explained, so we can only concealed under other purposes.

Gu Zhe is eager to study at Stanford and start a technology company in Silicon Valley in May next year. He has one most important purpose, that is, he hopes to recruit a physics professor of Lucia descent from the University of Manchester, Andre Heim, by chance.

And Konstantin Novoselov, a 30-year-old doctoral student under Andre Geim who will graduate with a Ph.D. next year.

As for the reason for the digging, laymen may not understand it, but those who have a little understanding of the history of physics know that the two men later won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010, and the reason they won the award was only in July 2004. A result urgently published in "Nature" - these two people first discovered graphene.

Before Gu Zhe was reborn, he was engaged in additive processing technology, especially the vapor phase chemical deposition method of graphene-like two-dimensional materials, so of course he knew graphene very well.

When he was first reborn, Gu Zhe was afraid that he didn't have enough time, and he didn't think of a better way to cut graphene, a scientific discovery.But more than a year after his rebirth, he found that he was walking very fast, with time and financial resources on his side, and his ambition gradually swelled.

Of course he knows that the discovery of "graphene" and the traditional theory that "two-dimensional materials with a single layer of atomic thickness cannot exist in nature" subverted by the discovery of graphene, as well as a series of follow-up studies on the principles of microscopic quantum mechanics at the atomic level after the subversion of the theory How important and what a coincidence is the amendment.

The discovery of this thing is not difficult at all. It should be at the end of June 2004. After the scientific research task of that semester, Andre Heim and others took advantage of the boredom at the end of the semester and accidentally made a "tear tape" experiment of,

Stick both sides of multi-layer graphite on a special tape, and then tear it off, the upper and lower tapes are covered with graphite layer, and then tear it repeatedly, so that the graphite layer becomes thinner and thinner, and finally it is observed that only A layer of atomically thick material remains.

The action of tearing the tape itself is not worthy of the Nobel Prize in Physics, but its subversive theory and follow-up research are definitely worth it.

Of course, Gu Zhe could also tear off the tape and discover this achievement by himself before the time in June 2004, but he knew that with his original status, if he was in such a hurry, he would have to be ranked first in the top journal. It will be more difficult to publish high-quality papers at once.Moreover, it is not his turn to do a lot of follow-up research, and he will definitely be swarmed by others.

At that time, I will only have an accidental discovery of "tearing tape", and I will still not be able to win the Nobel Prize.

An undergraduate student at Donghai University, how can he have such a status in the world.

So far, the journals with the most valuable papers that Gu Zhe has submitted are just the third-tier SCI journals in the field of chemistry, JMC (Materials Chemistry) and MRC (Macromolecule Letters).

The content is about 'Centrifugal Method No Optical Grinding New Material for Color Contact Contact', and it will not be published until this month at the earliest, and the delivery has already been submitted as early as May when he was quarantined at home.Because of his lack of qualifications, it took him four months to get into JMC.

If Gu Zhe wants to climb two more ranks and become eligible to publish articles in "Science" or "Nature", it is probably impossible within a year.The scientific community is not an industrial community, and it will not immediately raise expectations for you just because the technology you develop will make money quickly. The scientific community is very slow to adjust its cognition of human strength.

Therefore, Gu Zhe had to be at least a graduate student at Stanford, or even a graduate, in order to make a better plan to include the discovery of graphene and subsequent major early research into his own credit.

Fortunately, time is too late, and he has other ways, which he just thought of after negotiating with the French to get a large sum of dollars during the summer vacation——

Historically, the experiment of Andrei Heim and Konstantin Novoselov's "tearing tape" was completely accidental, and they did it when they had nothing to do after finishing their own projects.

Therefore, even if Gu Zhe does not have the status in the world to do graphene research, as long as he first gathers enough qualifications to "enter the Stanford department and send letters of huge sums of money to high-end professors in the global science and technology circles to hire",

Can't he just get Andre Geim, interfere with his research direction, let him do other things, pay him a high salary while completely cramming his schedule, so that he has no time to "boringly tear the tape" ".

And it's also a coincidence that Andre Geim has historically belonged to the kind of scientist who was more lucky. Before he happened to "tear the tape" to tear out the graphene, he was not a great scientist, he could only be regarded as a middle-level student at the University of Manchester. Top physics professor.It was after the graphene tearing tape became famous that it became a top player.

If not, Gu Zhe wouldn't be able to recruit him next year with money alone - if he has been famous for many years, you won't be able to get him even if you have money, and you will be subject to secrecy censorship from the Americans.

Therefore, it is particularly important to go to the United States to start a company before June 2004. When Gu Zhe negotiated with Director Liu and others before, he was so penny-pinching. He desperately wanted to shorten his sophomore year in China. Just to grab the time difference of two more months, from finishing the undergraduate course in June to completing the undergraduate course in April.

In this way, as long as the first step works, Gu Zhe can delay the discovery of graphene until 2005, or even 2006, directly changing the course of history.

In other words, Gu Zhe spent tens of millions of dollars to start a technology company in Silicon Valley, and paid a lot of money to recruit these two people. He didn't really need these two people at all. He just wanted to mislead them and drag them down.

Of course, if they can really do other things after getting them a lot of money, it will be considered an added value.

And Gu Zhe's own status in the three circles of industry, education and research is rapidly rising every year.

While secretly doing the job of tearing the tape himself, he held Andre Heim down. When the time was right and Gu Zhe was qualified enough to publish his discovery of graphene in "Nature", he immediately voted for it. .

It would be best if it could be delayed from the original historical date of June 2004 to April 6 or later.Waiting for Gu Zhe to graduate with a master's degree for one year.When Stanford asked him to study for a Ph.D., he first pretended to agree, and then immediately suspended the Ph.D. program on the grounds that other entrepreneurial and scientific research tasks were too heavy and he had no time.

As soon as his Ph.D. dropped out, he immediately published his graphene discovery and related early research.

At that time, the discovery of graphene will not lose to Einstein's achievement of solving the photoelectric effect a hundred years ago.

Einstein was able to get a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Zurich because of his thesis on the photoelectric effect and without reading.

Why can't he, Gu Zhe, get a Ph.D. in Physics from Stanford University without relying on his graphene thesis and without studying?

At the same time, this achievement was made by Gu Zhe when he dropped out of school and returned to China. Although Stanford will be forced to reissue his doctorate, this achievement can be regarded as Gu Zhe's achievement in China, and he has nothing to do with Americans.

Keeping a little relationship with the Americans is just hypocrisy, taking advantage of the fact that the relationship between China and the West has not deteriorated before 2014, and won the Nobel Prize first.

Historically, there has been an interval of six years (2004~2010) between the discovery of graphene and the award.Gu Zhe asked himself, because of his skin color problem, Nobel will definitely hesitate and delay for a year or two, but the importance of graphene's achievements is unquestionable, as long as it is resolved before 2014, there is still hope.

After 2015, due to certain risks in Northeast Asia, the international situation will be diverted to the east, and the difficulty for the Chinese will greatly increase.In history, Professor Tu's Biology Award was fortunately on the last bus in 15 years.

For a Nobel Prize in Physics, even if they spend tens of millions of dollars on planning, starting a company, and digging holes to divert those Yin-born Lucians, they will not hesitate.

These details cannot be explained to anyone, including why Andre Geim will be hired in a Silicon Valley company in the future, or even a high salary that is three to five times the normal salary.

If the people around him can't understand it, they can't understand it for the time being. Gu Zhe is destined to be a lonely person walking forward, and the heights are extremely cold.

……

Gu Zhe sat on the balcony, blowing the warm air in September, and finished a glass of gin with ice.

He quietly put down the cup, tiptoed back to the bedroom, went back to bed, gently hugged Lu Youyou and continued to sleep.

Lu Youyou's eyelashes flickered, but her body didn't move. An inexplicable sense of alienation appeared in her heart, and the corners of her eyes were moist:

"A Zhe must have too many far-sighted thoughts, even I can't explain it. Forget it, just pretend that you don't see anything, and just support him silently. I'm enough to worry about family matters."

-

PS: The above is already a [-]-word chapter, because there are many industry backgrounds, there is no way, and I will not break the chapters.

Let me say a few words for free later. Just a week ago, on March 3, Professor Ren Tianling of the School of Integrated Circuits of Tsinghua University published the results of "10-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS0.34) transistor with a gate length of 2 nanometers" in "Nature". It's a big step forward from the April 2020 batch of "Science" articles.

The process used is the relatively mature vapor-phase chemical deposition method at present, and the remaining problem is mainly the industrial mass production cost of the vapor-phase chemical deposition method.

Interested book lovers can go to "Nature" just published this month to read.

So, don’t think that the industrial production of two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide vapor-phase chemical deposition chips in 2026 in my book is soft science fiction bragging.I never write soft science fiction like fantasy.

When I wrote "Spray God" in 2017, Chapter 1 accurately predicted the new personal income tax deduction clauses to be introduced in 2019, and the loopholes that unscrupulous lawyers may appear in response to these deduction clauses.

Some people may wonder whether I have revised the original text of the chapter later, but I want to say that those readers who left comments in this chapter in the relevant paragraphs earlier, their chapters say that time cannot be faked, you can read it if you don’t believe it.It is entirely possible for professional lawyers to predict the new law and its loopholes two years from now.

As for the problems in the scientific community, I just want to say that as long as you often read journals such as "Science" and "Nature", you can still accurately predict the engineering technologies that will be put into use in related fields in the next three to five years - pay attention to me It is an "engineering problem" not a "scientific problem".

It is difficult to predict new scientific principles, but it is easy to predict the trajectory curve of new engineering technology application progress.

It is not difficult to distinguish between scientific problems and engineering problems, and then do enough homework to understand the relevant cutting-edge technologies. It is not difficult to have a few three-to-four-year-old prophets in the technical field.
