When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Chapter 290: Changes in all parties and the impact they bring
In fact, after hearing from Tian Ye that Wang Donglai's paper was published in the journal Science, Lei Fumin knew that he had no chance.

The reason is very simple!
He can't even publish in Science journal, but Wang Donglai can. What does this mean?
This means that Wang Donglai’s academic achievements have far exceeded his own expectations and have been recognized by the academic community.

At this moment, Lei Fumin felt both envy and jealousy, as well as a hint of anger.

With such complicated emotions, Lei Fumin took the journal from Tian Ye's hand and started reading it.

The two papers are quite long and the content is very detailed. Even if Lei Fumin had a biased attitude and wanted to find fault with them, he would have had a hard time finding any flaws.

And this is not the most embarrassing thing.

What embarrassed him the most was that even when the paper was placed in front of him, Lei Fumin did not understand its contents.

With his students watching him, Lei Fumin naturally would not show any fear.

After reading the paper, Lei Fumin's eyes turned slightly, and he said with disdain and anger on his face: "I was wondering, how could a math major like him make a breakthrough in materials science? It turns out that he got the help of the instrument."

"If you give me these instruments, I can also achieve the same results, or even better than him!"

Lei Fumin's words seemed to be a harsh criticism and accusation against Wang Donglai, but in fact, he felt very jealous.

He is also a veteran in this field, having worked in the laboratory for many years, and he understands too well the importance of a good equipment and instrument.

Just like the scanning electron microscope, the scanning electron microscope used in his laboratory is called a lanthanum hexaboride electron gun.

As one of the top two universities in the country, Peking University naturally receives a lot of funding, and its equipment and instruments are much better than those of other schools.

Therefore, his laboratory can use this kind of instrument. He uses the JEM-2100 model produced in Sakura Country, which is worth two and a half million.

This price is definitely not low.

There are ones that are more expensive than it, but there are even more that are cheaper than it.

This instrument is well worth its price. The JEM-2100 transmission electron microscope uses bright field, dark field, electron diffraction and high-resolution imaging technology to analyze the fine structures of various inorganic, organic and composite materials. It is also equipped with STEM and energy spectrum accessories to analyze the composition and distribution of samples, and records various information of the samples through the CCD digital imaging system.

加速电压200KV、高分辨极靴、样品倾斜角度：X方向±25°，Y方向±25°；TEM模式下，点分辨率0.23nm，放大倍数2000～1500000。

It can be said that the parameters are sufficient for most laboratory experiments.

The reason why Lei Fumin is confident in researching new energy batteries is because of the high-tech instruments in the laboratory.

However, he never expected that the equipment Wang Donglai used was better than his.

He recognized it at a glance. The instrument used by Wang Donglai was a field emission electron gun, and it was a cold field emission electron gun with better performance.

The price also soared to five million as a starting point, seven million for passing, and nine million for excellent.

In the experiment, there is no such thing as poor students having more stationery.

Having more advanced instruments and equipment means having greater advantages over ordinary equipment and being able to discover more results.

Otherwise, these cutting-edge instruments and equipment would not continue to be researched and have such good sales.

Lei Fumin glanced at Tian Ye, thought about it, and decided to encourage his students. He said, "The two papers he published are actually nothing. They are just theoretical results, far from the level of actual production. So our research still has a chance."

"Although I don't know where Tangdu Jiaotong University got so much funding to purchase so many experimental instruments and equipment, I just don't believe that Wang Donglai, a math major, can really catch up with my decades of technology and experience accumulation in this area."

"If he really had a remarkable technological breakthrough, he probably wouldn't have published this paper, but would have waited until the patent application was approved before publishing the paper."

"The more he does this, the more it proves one thing: he's afraid!"

"He was in a hurry to release his research results in order to prove his research capabilities to others, and then use this reputation to deceive others."

"There are no shortcuts in scientific research. What he did is actually fraudulent and will not last long."

"It is the right way only if we conduct down-to-earth research."

"Do you understand?"

After Lei Fumin finished speaking, he looked towards the field, waiting for his answer.

Tian Ye was not stupid, and he immediately said, "Boss, I understand!"

However, Tian Ye hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss, Professor Wang also founded a company called Galaxy Technology, which is now valued at over 10 billion."

"Do you think that Professor Wang has already figured it out, but hasn't announced it yet?"

Lei Fumin's face froze. He really had forgotten Wang Donglai's other identity.

The founder of Galaxy Technology is worth tens of billions!
The original great momentum also weakened a bit invisibly.

However, Lei Fumin quickly reacted and said with certainty: "He has always studied mathematics. Although it is undeniable that mathematics is very important and can play a big role in the research field, this does not mean that Wang Donglai can violate the laws of nature. Being able to produce such academic results is already a great achievement for a newcomer like him. If there are other achievements, then he is not a human being, but a god!"

Lei Fumin spoke with absolute certainty, and did not believe at all that Wang Donglai had any more academic achievements.

The hesitation on Tian Ye's face slowly faded away.

"Boss, should we continue our project?" Tian Ye asked curiously.

"Do it, why not do it!"

"Since Professor Wang has pointed out the way forward for us, we should just follow this direction. As long as we develop lithium-sulfur batteries before them, we will be successful. By that time, no one will remember who published the paper first."

Lei Fumin thought about it and felt that giving up research on energy would be a huge loss.

He plucked up his courage and said something to cheer Tian Ye up.

In order to achieve better results and make the fields work harder for him, a hint of gentleness appeared on Lei Fumin's face and his tone became more cordial.

"Tian Ye, let me ask you, if you come up with a great result, would you publish a paper first, or wait until the result is realized and becomes a reality before publishing a paper?"

"Also, do you think that for someone like Wang Donglai, publishing a paper is more important, or is the profit that Galaxy Technology will make from this opportunity more important?"

Lei Fumin was very experienced after all, and just two sentences made Tian Ye change his mind.

At this moment, Tian Ye finally understood what Lei Fumin meant.

He knew that what Lei Fumin said was true.

Lithium-sulfur batteries are so important that no matter how stupid a person is, he or she would not disclose such information casually.

Not to mention publishing a paper right after there is progress.

If he is just a school professor or graduate student, it is normal.

Ordinary graduate students need high-quality papers so that they can look better on their resumes, and they also hope to find a good job through them.

The same is true for university professors.

In the domestic academic and university circles, the rule of either promotion or dismissal is implemented.

If you fail to meet the scientific research targets within the specified time, you may have to leave the university.

Therefore, no one would complain about having too many high-quality academic papers. However, this is not the case for Wang Donglai.

At such a young age, only twenty years old, he is already a full professor at Tangdu Jiaotong University.

He is also the winner of the Fields Medal and a famous young mathematician in global civilization.

Even if it's just for the title, Tangdu Jiaotong University will keep Wang Donglai. As for scientific research indicators, that's up to him.

In this way, it is understandable that Wang Donglai chose to publish the paper just after the academic theoretical results of lithium-sulfur batteries were achieved.

"Boss, I understand. Professor Wang probably hasn't made a technological breakthrough yet, so he wants to increase the valuation of Galaxy Technology by publishing a paper. This combination of measures can at least increase the valuation of Galaxy Technology by hundreds of millions. By then, his wealth will skyrocket!"

"This is much easier than studying honestly."

Hearing Tian Ye's analysis, Lei Fumin nodded in agreement.

However, Lei Fumin still spoke up to correct Tian Ye's mistake and said, "You are still too timid to make a bold guess!"

"A few hundred million is indeed a big deal, but for an international giant, it is just a piece of cake."

"If we can really get this price, I'm afraid they will wake up laughing in their dreams!"

If they are sure that the technology is ready, the price of several hundred million yuan may not even reach Wang Donglai's ears and will be ruled out.

As an expert in this field, Lei Fumin knows too well the importance and value of this technology.

A few hundred million US dollars is probably about the right amount, and even other conditions may have to be added.

After all, lithium-sulfur batteries are far superior to lithium iron phosphate and lithium batteries.

As a scholar and professor in this field, Lei Fumin knows these things very well.

The importance of patents is beyond imagination!
Only by owning a patent can you obtain all these benefits.

Therefore, combining multiple pieces of information and past situations, Lei Fumin dares to assert that Wang Donglai has only achieved some theoretical results with the help of equipment and instruments with better performance, and is still far from a real technological breakthrough.

In fact, combined with Wang Donglai's performance at the last exchange and seminar, Lei Fumin even suspected that Wang Donglai had actually conducted research in this area a long time ago and had achieved some results.

However, when he thought of Wang Donglai's age and the achievements he had made after entering university, Lei Fumin dispelled this somewhat reasonable speculation.

At this time, Lei Fumin had already gotten over the complex emotions surrounding Wang Donglai's publication of the paper in the journal Science, and was instead filled with ridicule towards Wang Donglai.

"After all, they are young people. They have no determination. Even if they have the ability, what good can they do?"

With a sigh in his heart, Lei Fumin instructed Tian Ye, "Although that's what he said, we must also pay attention to Wang Donglai."

"During this period of time, you should keep a close eye on the laboratories of Tangdu Jiaotong University and Galaxy Technology, and use your brain to see if there is any good way to obtain some specific research information."

Tian Ye's face suddenly turned bitter. He simply couldn't do what Lei Fumin asked.

"Boss, I can't do what you said!"

"At most, I know a few students from Tangdu Jiaotong University. If it's general news, I might be able to know a thing or two, but I have no way of knowing the situation in the laboratory."

"It's the same over at Galaxy Technology!"

Tian Ye does not take on too much. He will refuse anything he cannot do at the first opportunity.

He also learned and honed this from Lei Fumin.

Hearing what Tian Ye said, Lei Fumin's face turned ugly. He snorted coldly and said, "You can't even do this. You are a waste!"

"Okay, since you can't do it, I won't force you. Just do the odd jobs you're good at!"

"Since Wang Donglai has already published a paper in Science, let's change the name of the project first, then reapply for research funding and add another 20 million to the original amount!"

"If the higher-ups really approve it, we must replace the lab equipment with a new batch!"

Lei Fumin looked at the equipment and instruments he was used to, and suddenly felt a little dissatisfied. He immediately made a decision in his mind that if the higher-ups really allocated a large amount of research funds, he would also buy a cold-field emission electron gun.

……

Tangdu Jiaotong University.

Institute of Advanced Mathematics.

In a quiet office, a large number of books can be seen everywhere.

This office belongs to Zhang Yitong who just returned from overseas.

Originally, Zhang Yitang had been invited to return to China, but he refused.

Logically speaking, the matter should have ended here.

However, he did not expect that after Wang Donglai proved the Goldbach conjecture, Zhang Yitang took the initiative to call Tangdu Jiaotong University.

On the phone, he first apologized for what happened last time, and then expressed his desire to return home.

Tangdu Jiaotong University is naturally very welcoming to scholars like Zhang Yitang who want to return to China.

So Zhang Yitang stayed in the Institute of Advanced Mathematics of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and devoted himself to proving twin prime numbers.

Everyone knows why Zhang Yitang returned to China.

I just want to use Wang Donglai's abilities to help myself improve my math skills.

Xu Songyao also sought Wang Donglai's opinion, and only after obtaining Wang Donglai's consent and support did Zhang Yitang officially join in.

During his communication and learning with Wang Donglai, Zhang Yitang made rapid progress in the process of finding twin prime numbers.

A few months passed, and Zhang Yitang's eyes were already red and bloodshot, and his face looked extremely tired, but he was extremely energetic.

"If I had known Professor Wang earlier, I would have done this a long time ago!"

"so far so good!"

Zhang Yitang held a pen in his hand and wrote and drew on a piece of draft paper.

He kept muttering to himself.

Finally, the muttering stopped, and Zhang Yitang's face revealed a look of relief and happiness.

"I finally did it!"

Zhang Yitang held the draft paper as if it weighed a hundred pounds, making his expression extremely serious.

He knew from this moment on.

Another difficult problem in mathematics has been solved.

And the witness is himself!
