From university academician to chief academician

Fullerene Institute!

Ye Fei is doing research, and there are more than a dozen researchers beside him who are doing experiments with him.

Ye Fei observed the material gene sequence of the fusion of C72 fullerene and non-fullerene through an electron microscope.

The material formed by the fusion of C72 fullerene and non-fullerene is called C72 non-fullerene.

Ye Feixin said: "There is no gene in the material, or it is a recessive gene."

Genes are divided into dominant and recessive genes. When dominant genes and recessive genes meet, dominant genes will appear.

When a recessive gene and a recessive gene meet, a recessive gene emerges.

Ye Feixin said: "So, I want to use another recessive gene to force out the recessive gene in the material."

"Fortunately, this is a fusion of C72 fullerene and non-fullerene. Now I only need to fuse another sequence of fullerene and non-fullerene to make the recessive gene appear."

This is like the fusion of C72 fullerene and non-fullerene being the father, and now just adding a mother is enough.

In this way, both the father's and mother's genes are recessive genes. When these two genes meet, the recessive gene will appear.

Next time, Ye Fei tried to fuse all sequences of fullerene and non-fullerene fusion materials with C72 non-fullerene.

"Director Ye!" At this time, someone knocked on the door and came in.

Ye Fei stopped the experiment he was doing and looked at the young man who came in. The young man was a researcher at the institute.

Ye Fei asked: "Is something wrong?"

The young man said: "The dean wants you to go to his office."

"Dean?" A trace of doubt flashed in Ye Fei's eyes. The dean had never taken the initiative to look for him. Why did he take the initiative to look for him today?

Ye Fei nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

After the young man left, Ye Fei said to the researchers around him: "You continue the experiment, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, Ye Fei stood up and walked outside.

Graphene Research Institute, Dean’s Office!

At this moment, the dean was sitting on the sofa with a middle-aged man, drinking tea and chatting.

"Academician Lu." The dean said with a smile: "You are a busy man. I heard that you were in Hainan last month. How come you have time to come to me?"

Academician Lu, also known as Lu Ke, is the youngest academician of Xia State and winner of the Mel Award. He won the same award as Ye Fei some time ago.

Although Academician Lu is very talented, he entered politics in 2018 and held a very high position in Liao Province.

It’s not that it’s not good, it’s just that in the eyes of many scientific researchers, it’s a bit unprofessional.

Of course, he is also the director of the Shencheng National Research Center for Materials Science, Xia Institute of Metal Research, Academy of Sciences.

It can be said that he has not completely abandoned his scientific research career.

Academician Lu smiled and said: "Your place is a treasure land of Feng Shui. I'm here to learn from it."

"What a geomantic treasure!" The dean shook his head and chuckled: "If you want to come, you can come anytime. I welcome you here at any time."

"Then forget it!" Academician Lu shook his head and said, "You can't come to such a good place often. Visiting once in a while will keep it fresh."

At this time, Ye Fei knocked on the door and came in, saying: "Dean, you are looking for me."

Both the dean and Lu Ke looked at Ye Fei.

The dean smiled and said: "Director Ye, here we come, take a seat!"

Ye Fei sat on the sofa and the dean smiled and said: "Director Ye, let me introduce to you. This is Academician Lu Ke and the second-in-command of the Jiusan Society."

Jiu San Society was very powerful in Xia State. It was founded in 1946 and was formerly a May Fourth Movement group.

It is a group composed mainly of senior and intermediate intellectuals in the science and technology circles of Xia State. It has branches in every province, autonomous region, and municipality directly under the Central Government, with 204,000 members.

It is the highest level among all organizations in the Xia Kingdom. Most of the good and evil in the country come from the Jiusan Society.

All middle and high-level elite talents in various industries across the country come from Jiusan Society.

The scientific community, literary community, medical community, art community, legal community, etc. are all in this group.

Later, because this group was so influential and there were so many talented people in it, some people from the political and business circles also integrated into it in order to make friends with the people in the Jiusan Society.

It's just that many people from the political field enter, while only some big businessmen can enter the business circle, and they can't hold high positions.

Many people think that scientists have low remuneration and low wages, but this is not the case.

As long as you have the ability, if you want money, there are many ways to earn it, and if you want treatment, the country will give it to you.

For example, Jiusan Society, as long as you enter, it can solve 99% of the problems you encounter in Xia Kingdom.

If you want to see a doctor, Jiusan Society has directors from all well-known hospitals in all provinces and cities across the country.

If your children go to school, Jiusan Academy has the top principals of primary and secondary schools in the country.

If you want to do business, Jiusan Academy has all the top businessmen in the country, who can invest for you and even teach you how to do business.

If you want to get into politics, there are senior officials from all provinces across the country in the Jiusan Society, and you can go and build connections.

If you want to engage in academic research, there are top scholars in Jiusan Society, and you can cooperate.

Moreover, there are still the most people like this in Jiusan Society.

Anyway, as long as it doesn't involve falling in love, you can solve all problems in Jiusan Academy.

The establishment of the Jiusan Society was the result of the state placing all high-quality resources in the Jiusan Society, allowing elites from all walks of life in the Xia Kingdom to obtain them.

Ye Fei looked at Lu Ke in surprise. He had won the Mel Award some time ago. Lu Ke was one of the three people in Xia who won the Mel Award.

Lu Ke is also the youngest academician of Xia State, becoming an academician at the age of 38.

Ye Fei smiled and said: "Academician Lu, I have heard about his reputation for a long time."

Lu Ke smiled and said: "Director Ye, you are the one who has been famous for a long time. I can hear your famous name even in Northeast Liao Province."

"In the past few years, you have become well-known in the Xia Kingdom and even in the scientific community around the world!"

Ye Fei shook his head and chuckled: "It's all a false reputation. Compared with you, Academician Lu, I'm still far behind."

Lu Ke studies nanomaterials and has published more than 350 academic papers, 45 invited lectures at international conferences, and 25 patents.

However, after he entered politics in 2018, academic research stopped.

Otherwise, his current achievements will be even more dazzling.

Ye Fei predicts that if he had not entered politics back then, he might be a top international materials scientist now.

It's a pity that a good scientific researcher has entered politics.

Lu Ke said: "Okay, no more nonsense, let me get down to business!"

"Two things. The first thing is a business matter, and the second thing is a private matter. It's not entirely a private matter, it's half a business matter."

Ye Fei and the dean looked at Lu Ke doubtfully, feeling that his words were convoluted and difficult to understand.

Lu Ke said: "The first thing, Director Ye, I invite you to join the Xia Guo Jiusan Academy."

Jiu San Society has branches in all provinces across the country. The most senior one is Xia Guo Jiu San Society, with its headquarters in Kyoto.

Ye Fei said in surprise: "Academician Lu, if you invite me to join the Jiusan Society, just send me an invitation letter directly. There is no need for you to go there in person!"

Lu Ke smiled and said: "This is exactly my next mission. I came to you specifically for this mission, and I just happened to invite you to join the Jiusan Academy."

"I know you discovered C72 fullerene and developed many applications based on it."

Ye Fei nodded and said: "Yes!"

"I also heard that you fused C72 fullerenes with non-fullerenes."

"Yes!" Ye Feidao.

"I also heard that you are currently studying the use of C72 fullerene and non-fullerene fusion for solar power generation."

"Yeah!" Ye Fei nodded.

"I would like to ask you if you have ever thought about researching C72 fullerene into nanomaterials. You know, the main research on fullerene is nanomaterials."

Ye Feidao: "Of course I have thought about this, but my current research is about solar power generation."

"After the research on solar power generation is completed, I may study nanomaterials."

Lu Ke looked at Ye Feida expectantly: "Are you interested in carbon nanotubes?"

Speaking of carbon nanotubes, we have to talk about the space elevator, which is the space elevator in the world-famous novel Three-Body Problem.

Although this is a hypothetical device, carbon nanotubes have the ability to be continuously pulled and pulled due to their unique mechanical properties.

If you really keep pulling and pulling, you can indeed create a space elevator.

It’s just that the manufacturing cost is very high.

Moreover, to make a space elevator, it is impossible to make a space elevator with only one carbon nanotube material. Other things need to be added.

Of course, carbon nanotubes have many other applications, such as body armor and wind turbine blades.

It can also be used in buildings and bridges, golf balls, fishing rods, tennis rackets, bicycles, cars, high-speed rail trains, etc.

These can all use carbon nanotubes.

In addition, the carbon nanometer can also be charged.

Like Iron Man, clothes made of carbon nanotubes can be charged in them, so that the clothes can provide power for lighting equipment, night vision devices and communication equipment.

In addition to these, carbon nanotubes have many other applications, so I will not explain them one by one.

"Uh..." Ye Fei hesitated for a moment and then smiled bitterly: "Academician Lu, you are throwing a heavyweight problem at me!"

"The research on carbon nanotubes is a global problem. Many countries around the world are studying carbon nanotubes."

Fullerene is one of the greatest discoveries in the 20th century.

Then carbon nanotubes can change the entire world, and many applications that can only appear in science fiction novels will become a reality.

However, carbon nanotubes are a global problem, and it does not mean that you can successfully study them if you want to.

Even Ye Fei, although he discovered C72 fullerene, is not confident that he can develop carbon nanotubes.

If carbon nanotubes were so easy to study, they wouldn't baffle materials scientists around the world.

"I know!" Lu Ke said: "I'm not asking you to research it quickly. I want you to cooperate with the materials research center of our province to make a small step forward in the research of carbon nanotubes."

The reason why Lu Ke wanted to invite Ye Fei was because Ye Fei discovered C72 fullerene and developed many applications from C72 fullerene.

Since Ye Fei has done in-depth research on fullerenes, I believe it will be more convenient to study carbon nanotubes.

Fullerenes, graphene and carbon nanotubes.

The differences between these three are very close, and they can be said to be close relatives.

Graphene, fullerenes and carbon nanotubes are all allotropes of carbon.

Here we have to talk about graphite.

Graphite is one of the most common materials, and graphite is made up of multiple layers of graphene.

The main tube part of the carbon nanotube can be seen as a part of the graphene sheet rolled up, and both ends are sealed by half a fullerene.

Ye Feidao: "My current research is not over yet, and I don't want to study carbon nanotubes."

"Hey..." Lu Ke sighed in his heart.

Lu Ke has been committed to building Liaoning Province into a nationally important province for new materials research and a nanomaterials center in the country and even the world.

Therefore, he focused on nanomaterials.

Recently I heard that Ye Fei discovered C72 fullerene and has done many major applied research with C72 fullerene as the core.

He has some interest in carbon nanotubes.

If Ye Fei was invited to study carbon nanotubes, would he be able to make breakthrough progress in carbon nanotubes?

You know, carbon nanotubes are a material research that can change the world.

Even if there is a little progress in carbon nanotubes, it will make the whole world look at it.

Lu Ke asked: "Director Ye, when will your current research be completed?"

Ye Feidao: "It's hard to say. Academician Lu, you are also a scientific researcher. You should know that it is impossible to say when the research on this thing will be completed."

Lu Ke nodded and said: "Okay, after your current research is completed, can you cooperate with the materials research center of our province?"

Ye Feidao: "I can't guarantee this. I'll try my best. After all, I have too many things to do now and too many positions. Maybe I will have other tasks by then."

In addition to mathematical research and materials research, Ye Fei is also the dean of the Meta Blockchain Research Institute.

In his spare time, Ye Fei is also paying attention to the research of meta-blockchain systems.

Since the four core technologies have been developed, the research on the meta-blockchain system is to combine the four core technologies together.

So, the speed is very fast.

Half of the research has now been completed and will be completed by June this year.

"Okay!" Lu Ke felt helpless.

But he also knew that Ye Fei wore many hats and many things were beyond his control.

Ye Feidao: "If I have nothing to do by then, I can cooperate with you."

Lu Ke's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Then we have an agreement."

"It's agreed." Ye Fei smiled.

Ye Fei is also interested in carbon nanotubes.

After all, he discovered C72 fullerene and will sooner or later study graphene, carbon nanotubes and other fields in the future.

Ye Fei is interested in all these studies that affect the world.

As a scientific researcher, climbing to new heights in science is like leveling up and fighting monsters.

Every new scientific research is a new copy, in which experience points are constantly refreshed.

Lu Ke stood up and said, "Director Fang, Director Ye, I won't disturb you. I have other work in Kyoto."

"Okay!" Dean Fang and Ye Fei stood up. Dean Fang said, "Then I will keep you soon. I'll see you off!"

"Stay!"

In the end, Dean Fang and Ye Fei sent Academician Lu out of the Graphene Research Institute.

After that, Ye Fei continued to return to the laboratory to start his own work.

Half a month later!

Ye Fei looked at the gene sequence of C72 fullerene in the electron microscope eyepiece and said with a smile: "Sure enough, my idea is right."

"Materials also have genetic sequences. Now we can easily study materials based on genetic sequences."

Genes are like mathematical formulas, and materials are derived based on mathematical formulas.

As long as you understand the mathematical formulas, they will never change without departing from their principles, and you can derive a lot of materials.

Now that Ye Fei knows the genes of the materials, he can derive many materials based on the genes.

And according to the genetic characteristics, it can be integrated with other materials to change the characteristics of the materials.

Ye Fei stood up, looked at the researchers behind him, and said, "You should also come and take a look. This is the first time you have seen the genetic sequence of the material."

The other researchers couldn't wait to sit down and watch.

After reading, a researcher stood up and walked to Ye Fei and said excitedly: "Director, we have discovered something that has never been seen before in the world!"

"Yes, Director, if this discovery is released, it will definitely shock the entire materials industry."

"Director, I rarely admire people in my life, but you really impress me."

"..."

The other researchers said excitedly.

They were very excited and felt so happy following Ye Fei's research.

Not only is research fast, but you can also discover things that have never been discovered in the world.

For example, C72 fullerene, the fusion of C72 fullerene and non-fullerene, and material genes.

"Haha..." Ye Fei smiled, feeling very excited in his heart, and said, "Whether it can shock the material world is yet to be seen."

"If only C72 fullerene has genes, it would not shock the materials world."

"If all materials have genes, it would really shock the materials world."

Ye Feixin said: "If this is the case, I might win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry."

Thinking of this, Ye Fei was very excited.

Ye Feidao: "Let's take a look and see if other materials also have material genes."

"Okay!" everyone said.

Half a month later!

Ye Fei shook his head in disappointment and said: "The Nobel Prize in Chemistry is gone."

"It seems that only C72 fullerene has genes, and all other materials have no genes."

This is understandable, after all, the material itself has no genes.

"But why does C72 fullerene have genes?" Ye Fei thought in his mind.

He felt like he had discovered another important piece of research.

If this can be researched, it may have a greater impact than the discovery of C72 fullerene.

Ye Feixin said: "If this rule can be found, it may be applicable to all other materials."

"Then I can still win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry."

"Unfortunately, I have no clue about this research."

"Hey..." Ye Fei sighed in his heart: "Since I have no clue, let's forget it. I won't do any research for the time being. Let's research the solar panels first."

After speaking, Ye Fei looked at the other researchers and said, "Let's start research on solar panels!"

"Okay!" Everyone nodded. They were also very disappointed. Only C72 fullerene had genes, so the impact of their discovery was very small.

Even now, because C72 fullerene has not been announced to the outside world, it does not matter whether they announce the gene for C72 fullerene.

Because genes were discovered from C72 fullerenes, Ye Fei added some other materials into the fusion of C72 fullerenes and non-fullerenes based on the characteristics of the genes.

Ten days later!

Ye Fei looked at the computer screen in front of him, which displayed the test data.

[Peak power: 500Wp

Peak working voltage: 60V

Peak operating current: 13.1A

Open circuit voltage: 44.2V

Short circuit current: 12.75A

Component efficiency: 25.2%

Power deviation: +0.5%]

After everyone saw the test data, they were speechless for a long time!

Ye Fei nodded with satisfaction. He was very satisfied with the solar panel produced this time. It was exactly the same as the data in his theoretical research.

A researcher said: "Director, the test data of this solar panel is also very good. It is much better than the solar panel of FirstSolar Company."

Ye Fei nodded and smiled: "Yes!"

"Director, if this data is released, I'm afraid many people will think they are reading fantasy novels. This data is too false."

"Haha..." Ye Fei smiled and said: "Facts speak louder than words. Since we think it is false, we will not publish it and let others help us promote and test it."

"Director, what do you want to do?" a researcher asked.

Ye Feidao: "Last year, I had already talked with the chairman of Longi Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd."

"He is going to rent the patent for our solar panels."

"I am going to lease the patent of the solar panels to them, and they will manufacture the solar panels we developed."

"As the world's top solar panel manufacturer, their company's sales points are spread across five continents."

"I think they will help us promote it before selling it."

"Yeah!" The other researchers nodded.

Afterwards, Ye Fei told Professor Gao about this.

Professor Gao was speechless, Ye Fei wanted to lease the patent to private companies again.

Ye Fei was the only one in the entire institute to do this, and the rest leased patents to state-owned enterprises.

Professor Gao said: "Ye Fei, this is against the rules. We used to lease patents to state-owned enterprises!"

Ye Fei smiled and said: "Whether it is a private enterprise or a state-owned enterprise, they are all companies in our country!"

"We must treat private companies and state-owned companies equally. We cannot be partial just because they are private companies."

"Besides, I'm just renting it out, not selling it. We can take back the patent at any time."

"Okay!" Professor Gao said helplessly: "You, Ye Fei, are the only ones who can break this rule. Who asked you to develop something good? Only you can develop these things, and we can only tolerate you. This temper."

Although many people in the institute are developing applications based on C72 fullerene, no one has developed applications that can compare with Ye Fei.

Ye Fei developed a lithium battery separator using C72 fullerene, breaking the foreign blockade on Xia Guo on lithium battery separators.

Now we have developed a solar panel with the best performance in the world.

"Haha..." Ye Fei laughed loudly: "Professor Gao, these are insignificant studies, so why not let private companies make some money!"

"Besides, the cooperative companies I chose are all very conscientious companies in Xia State, and they are also leading companies in various fields in Xia State."

"If it is left to those state-owned enterprises, can they do as well as these enterprises?"

Professor Gao was speechless, insignificant research? Look, what have you been studying? Is this called insignificance? So tell me what is important.

Professor Gao nodded and said: "You are right, it is your research anyway, you can do whatever you want!"

Ye Feidao: "Please ask Professor Gao to help me say hello to the top."

"Okay!" Professor Gao nodded helplessly: "I will definitely help you say hello to the top."

Afterwards, Ye Fei began to contact Kang Cheng, chairman of Longi Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd.
