Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 678 Nature

In the face of Bruno Jewett's "wishful anticipation", Gu Lizhi seemed very moved.Now that he has come to the other side of the ocean, he feels that his life has entered a new stage.

And even if Bruno Jewett got the data, he would call Gu Lizhi over, of course not because of any bullshit promises, after all, there is no such thing as reputation among the Angsa people, he wanted Gu Lizhi to directly copy ink. The experimental process of Xinxin Technology reduces the experimental time as much as possible and produces results quickly.

After all, Moxin Technology will not stop there, Bruno Jewett is very sure of this.

Walking into the University of Manchester, Gu Lizhi felt as if he had stepped into the European Middle Ages, and he was amazed by the various antique buildings inside.The majestic and tall feeling fascinated him.He felt that it was a symbol of the combination of freedom and classicism, full of connotations.When I think of Zhong Hai's nondescript high-rise buildings that only know cement and glass walls, I feel that those things are vulgar and rigid, and there is no artistry at all.

Gu Lizhi was taken to the University of Manchester to report, and Gu Lizhi was arranged to live in a luxurious single room.

Gu Lizhi is very satisfied with the excellent accommodation environment and living treatment.

Bruno Jewett's work efficiency is very high. Within a few days, he got sponsorship, formed a scientific research team, and immediately started scientific research on the graphene project.

In the laboratory, Gu Lizhi is grateful for Bruno Jewett's "graciousness of knowledge and encounter", and knows everything about Bruno Jewett's inquiries.

"Moxin Technology intends to successfully separate graphene from graphite by micromechanical exfoliation method. Place the layered sheet of the two-dimensional material block to be peeled off on the scotch tape and repeatedly stick and peel off the block material to make it become Thinner layered flakes, and then transfer the layered flakes on the tape to silica, slowly peel off the tape after standing for a period of time, repeat the above steps, and you can get a single-layer graphene structure."

Bruno Jewett was very excited after hearing this, and patted Gu Lizhi on the shoulder and said: "You have done a good job, and after it is done, you can complete your studies at the University of Manchester, and I can even let you be my teaching assistant after graduation. .”

For this promise, Gu Lizhi was so excited that he almost bowed down.

"Thank you professor, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations!"

Bruno Jewett nodded slightly, then changed the topic and said, "I'm afraid you can't directly participate in the research of graphene, after all, you have signed the agreement. But as compensation, I will let the school waive your tuition fees and give You hand out scholarships."

On the surface, Bruno Jewett was kind to Gu Lizhi and focused on comforting him.

In fact, Bruno Jewett was sneering in his heart.

The idiot in front of him has no idea what a Nobel Prize-level research project represents.

Even if you just participate, you can leave a strong mark on your resume, which is very important for your future development in academia.

Compared with the tens of thousands of pounds in tuition fees and scholarships, it is simply insignificant.

How could there be a name from the Xia Kingdom in the research team of the University of Manchester?
For Bruno Jewett's statement, Gu Lizhi had no doubts at all, thinking that Bruno Jewett was thinking about him.

Bruno Jewett asked: "Where is the experimental progress of Moxin Technology?"

Of course, Gu Lizhi knew everything about Bruno Jewett's inquiry: "The experiment of Moxin Technology is progressing very fast, but it is currently stuck on a few key nodes. The probability of breaking through within half a year is very high." Low. The most important thing is that Chinese New Year is coming soon, which is the most important festival in Xia Kingdom, so it should be able to slow down the progress of Moxin Technology a little bit."

When he heard that the progress was fast, Bruno Jewett was worried for a while, but when he heard that the other party had reached a bottleneck and there was a delay in the progress during the New Year, he suddenly became happy again and said: "That's really great!" Yes! Young man, I am very optimistic about you, work hard, you will definitely have a place in the future of the University of Manchester."

Being praised again and again by Bruno Jewett, Gu Lizhi was a little lost.

In the blink of an eye, it was the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. In the morning, Lu Yiming was busy with Ning Xuehua at home to welcome the Kitchen God, but suddenly received a call from Tan Hongbo.

"Success! Teacher Lu, I succeeded!"

A picture of a dejected man standing under the telephone pole and shouting "I'm saved" immediately appeared in Lu Yiming's mind.

"Success?"

Lu Yiming was also very happy.

Although there are still hundreds of thousands of miles away from commercial applications, this is definitely an epoch-making achievement.

"Yes, we have successfully used the method you provided to separate the single-layer graphene structure. Now we have a direct material for studying the physical properties of graphene, without having to rely entirely on theoretical guesses! Professor Yu is drafting a thesis, I plan to publish this result.”

Lu Yiming said: "Okay, as soon as possible, we must be ahead of those foreigners and slap them in the face hard!"

Tan Hongbo said excitedly: "This achievement is bound to cause a sensation in the world. I'm afraid we will be able to compete for the Nobel Prize in Physics next year."

Lu Yiming thought in his heart that Mendeleev didn't get the Nobel Prize, and the gold content of this award is just that pessimistic, but after all, Tan Hongbo is in high spirits now, and he can't dampen his enthusiasm, so he said euphemistically: "The award is not worth it. It doesn’t matter what the award is. Foreigners’ things don’t need to be taken too seriously. Why do we want to be recognized by a group of foreigners for the results of our own efforts? At that time, we will also create an authoritative award ourselves! It is better than the Nobel Prize. The award is even more awesome."

Tan Hongbo was overwhelmed by Lu Yiming's lofty ambitions. His biggest dream in this life was to win the Nobel Prize, but Lu Yiming wanted to hold a Nobel Prize himself?
Although Lu Yiming spoke with enthusiasm, Tan Hongbo seemed a little unconfident about this matter. After all, Xia Guo at this time was still too backward and poor compared to the European and American powers.

"Mr. Lu, your goal is too ambitious. Can we achieve it?"

Lu Yiming smiled slightly, and said calmly: "You can't reach a thousand miles without taking a single step. A dream is like a tree, and the best time to plant a tree is ten years ago, followed by now. There are always things that need someone did it."

These words made several students in the laboratory so confused that they couldn't find the north, and their blood boiled with enthusiasm, wishing to smash their brains and brains to pieces for this lofty ideal.

But right now, it is natural to fully implement the technical achievements of graphene first.

Lu Yiming called Wang Hongsheng.

"Principal, happy Chinese New Year."

Wang Hongsheng was also very surprised when he received a call from Lu Yiming suddenly, so he quickly said, "Happy Chinese New Year."

Lu Yiming said: "Principal Wang, I have good news for you. Moxin Technology has successfully isolated a single-layer graphene structure."

When Wang Hongsheng heard it, he immediately beamed with joy, and at the same time felt very surprised and shocked: "It's only been a few months, and you have achieved results?"

Lu Yiming complained: "I spent the money, and Professor Yu and the others stayed in the laboratory to work without sleeping and eating. I think this is already considered slow."

Wang Hongsheng scolded with a smile: "No matter how slow you are, you are the number one in the world. You kid, I think you are acting good when you get cheap."

Thinking of the money, praise, awards, etc. brought by Moxin Technology because of this discovery, Wang Hongsheng was puzzled again, and said: "If I knew this, I should have put you in Furi University for this project. This is a Nobel Prize level." A technical achievement, even if it is just a nomination, is an extraordinary achievement, enough for domestic schools to grab it."

Even so, Lu Yiming was also a student of Furi University, but Furi University had no achievements in this field, so such a precious opportunity fell into the hands of Jiaotong University.

However, Wang Hongsheng couldn't help laughing when he thought that the principal of Jiaotong University, Ding Kuilin, forced Yu Kebao and suspended him in order to please Bruno Jewett, so that Yu Kebao could only join Moxin Technology as an individual in the end. Voice.

Humans are afraid of comparison.

If Ding Kuilin knew what he had missed, he might feel regretful.

The two chatted for a while, then hung up the phone.

Later, Lu Yiming called Cao Guowei.

"Hey, Senior Cao, happy new year."

Cao Guowei was flattered when he received a call from Lu Yiming on New Year's Eve, and hurriedly said, "Happy New Year, Happy New Year."

"Senior Cao, there is a big news coming out of Moxin Technology recently, you hurry up and organize a professional team to interview it, the sooner the better. Make it an exclusive report."

When Cao Guowei heard this, he couldn't help scratching his head.

It's Chinese New Year, what can happen to make Lu Yiming call himself?
It must also be an exclusive report.

It's kind of scary.

However, since it was Lu Yiming's order, Cao Guowei certainly did not dare to relax, and immediately said: "Okay, I will lead the team there myself!"

Only two hours later, Cao Guowei led a professional team to Moxin Technology and conducted an exclusive interview with the team.

When Cao Guowei revealed that it was Lu Yiming who asked them to come for the interview, Yu Ke was relieved and accepted the interview excitedly.

Subsequently, the news was published on anecdotal websites, but it did not cause a particularly big sensation, and there were only a few commenters.

A few days later.

Anglia, Editorial Office of Nature.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Archie Heywood, the editor of the review department, walked into the office with a relaxed expression on his face, made himself a cup of coffee skillfully, and then sat down at his desk to start working.

His job is to review manuscripts.

As one of the oldest and most prestigious scientific journals in the world, Nature is one of the few journals that still publishes primary research papers from many fields of science.In many scientific research fields, many of the most important and cutting-edge research results are published in "Nature" in the form of short messages.

Every day, the editorial department receives a large number of manuscripts mailed from all over the world.

"Sleep patterns can reflect a person's personality traits? Where did the idiot come from? It seems to be another whimsical study."

"The team of scientists successfully developed cold-resistant mosquitoes to make up for the lack of mosquitoes in winter. Neuropathy, shit!"

Throwing some obviously funny manuscripts into the trash can, Archie Heywood's face is full of disgust. His daily work is not so much reviewing manuscripts as cleaning up the trash. Papers with scientific research value are rejected.

After reading many papers one after another, the not-so-small trash can was filled with various mails in a short while.

He has gradually lost patience.

Anyone dealing with this kind of crap on a daily basis will lose patience.

Opening a piece of mail again, the label of the ancient oriental country immediately cheered him up.

"It's an email from Xia Guo? There's a postman there? It's really strange, isn't it that they can't even afford food? Can they still do scientific research?"

In this era, both the government and the people are trying their best to exaggerate a stereotype about the Xia Kingdom—for example, the people there have braids, for example, it is still a slave society, backward, barbaric and ignorant...

Archie Heywood couldn't imagine that there were people doing scientific research in such an isolated place.He couldn't even imagine how the letter came to him from Xia Guo across the ocean.

With a bit of sarcasm and contempt, Archie Heywood casually opened the paper in his hand.

"Single-layer graphene structure prepared by micro-mechanical exfoliation method? Heh, there are at least [-] laboratories in the world researching graphene. We have the most advanced equipment and the best talents in the world, and we have never heard of anyone who has prepared If you don’t have graphene, how can your country of Xia…”

With the intention of exposing the other party's lies, Archie Heywood continued to look down with a mocking expression on his face.

Then he stopped laughing

The astonished expression stayed on his face for a long time, and when he finally recovered, he immediately called his colleague Andrew Miller.

"Andrew, come here. You are from the Physics Department. You can take this manuscript and have a look. I think there is something wrong with it."

Soon, a bearded man ran over, seeing Xia Guo's postmark, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Xia Guo's?"

He picked up the manuscript and read it from the beginning to the end, and immediately felt a great shock.

This is graphene, a material that only stays in theory, and now someone actually made it out?

Incredible!

"It's unbelievable that Xia Guo's scientific research team is ahead of everyone in the world!"

Hearing Andrew Miller's comments, Archie Haywood couldn't help asking: "Is there no problem?"

Andrew Miller said in a very positive tone: "There is no problem at all! This paper is too important and must be handed over to more influential experts and scholars for appraisal."

Now that Andrew Miller said so, Archie Heywood chose to believe his judgment, and then suggested: "How about handing it over to Professor Andre? He is the pillar of the Physics Department of the University of Manchester, no matter in terms of academic status. Whether it is professional ability or professional ability, they are the most suitable candidates.”

University of Manchester, Department of Physics.

In the office, Professor Andre was arranging his files, while his assistant was doing the cleaning of the office while complaining to him: "Bruno Jewett is really too much, not only took away our experiment laboratory, and also took away the experimental funds that should have belonged to us.”

Andre sighed and said: "Bruno Jewett is conducting a secret research and has received strong support from several school managers. As for our venue and funding, we can only apply to the school again."

As a furry bear-born scientist engaged in academic work in England, it is quite normal to be wronged occasionally.

The assistant was still not reconciled, and wanted to continue to say a few words, and then a phone call came from the guard room to inform: "Professor Andre, there is your email in the duty room."

Andre was a little puzzled: "Give it to me? Are you sure?"

"of course."

"Okay, I'll let my assistant pick it up."

Soon, the assistant took the mail back.Andre was even more surprised when he saw the postmark on it and found that it was sent by the editorial department of "Nature".

After reading the paper inside, Andre was so excited that he couldn't help himself: "Someone really isolated the graphene single-layer structure! And it's a scientist from the Xia Kingdom! This is simply a miracle!"

As a physicist, he is too familiar with graphene!
And it is precisely because he is very familiar with it that he understands the value of this paper even more.

What shocked him even more was that this paper was written by the scientists of the Xia Kingdom, and it was the scientists of the Xia Kingdom who first researched the method of peeling off the single-layer structure of graphene!

The technologically advanced countries in Europe and the United States use the most advanced equipment in the world, recruit the best talents in the world, and conduct research on graphene materials one after another, and finally they are surpassed by Xia Guo's team of scientists?
It's unbelievable!

In the email sent by "Nature", the editor asked Andre to conduct a preliminary verification of the method in the paper to confirm the authenticity of the paper.

Of course, Andre would not refuse this request, and he himself couldn't wait, and wanted to use the method in the paper to try to extract the graphene single-layer structure.

Andre immediately found the school, explained the request of the "Nature" magazine, and then applied to the school's laboratory for verification research.

With the "Nature" magazine as an endorsement, the school naturally gave Andre the green light.

This incident soon alarmed the entire physics department.

That is graphene, a two-dimensional carbon material that was only in theory before. Countless people are curious about this imaginative material.

Of course Bruno Jewett also knew the news.

He doesn't even need to verify, he knows that what is said in the paper is true.

Looking at the busy figures of a group of people in the laboratory in front of him, he suddenly felt irritable for no reason.

In the end, it was the group of Xia people who made it first.

During this period of time, he was in a hurry, and even went to Xia Guo to dig people himself. All of this seemed to have become meaningless all of a sudden.

However, he quickly remembered one more thing.

This paper is now in Andre's hands!
Not yet published in Nature!

In other words, the whole world does not know that someone has isolated the graphene monolayer structure.

Well, just deal with Andre and let him keep the papers in his hands...

Thinking of this, Bruno Jewett turned and walked towards Andre's laboratory.
