From university academician to chief academician

Chapter 213 The space elevator material in the three-body novel—carbon nanotubes

director's office!

When Lu Ke saw Ye Fei and the dean walking in, he quickly put down the tea cup in his hand and stood up to greet them.

"Academician Ye, you are so impressed after three days of separation!" Lu Ke said with a smile.

"You were not an academician when we said goodbye last time, but when we meet today, you are already an academician."

"A 27-year-old academician, you are the youngest academician in the world. Others say you have a good chance of winning the Nobel Prize and the Fields Medal!"

Ye Fei smiled and said: "Academician Lu, don't say that, I will be proud."

"Haha..." The three laughed.

After sitting down, Lu Ke said: "Academician Ye, I think you know the purpose of my coming today even if I don't tell you. How do you think about what I told you last time?"

Ye Fei and the dean looked at each other and Ye Fei said: "Academician Lu, I really want to work at the Liao Provincial Nanomaterials Research Center."

"But the dean doesn't want to let me go!"

If you tell Academician Lu that the Liao Provincial Nanomaterials Research Center and the Graphene Research Institute should cooperate, Academician Lu will definitely disagree.

After all, the Liao Provincial Nanomaterials Research Center had been studying carbon nanotubes before.

Suddenly, I have to take out my research results and share them with others. No one would want to do this.

Therefore, Ye Fei discussed with the dean. One of them was a bad guy, and the other was a good guy. They followed the guidance and asked Academician Lu to cooperate with the Graphene Research Institute.

Academician Lu looked at the dean, who nodded and said: "Yes, academician Lu, Ye Fei is the treasure of our Graphene Research Institute. Even if you give me the best thing in exchange, I won't exchange it."

Academician Lu said helplessly: "Dean Li, it's not like I don't want to return it, why can't I just use it for a while?"

"Hey..." the dean said, "This is hard to say. If you take someone down, it will be useless for me to beg you!"

"Dean Li, I'm not that kind of person. I will definitely come back when the time comes."

"That's hard to say." The dean said, "Everyone in this world has regrets even after signing a contract."

"So, in this world, only things that are in your own hands are the safest."

Academician Lu was a little anxious. He really wanted Ye Fei to go to him.

Especially after Ye Fei developed C72 fullerene and high-purity graphene, he was even more eager for Ye Fei to get it.

He believes that as long as Ye Fei goes there, there is a high probability that there will be a breakthrough in the field of carbon nanotubes.

Academician Lu said: "Dean Li, tell me, how can I get Ye Fei to go to my place?"

The dean shook his head and said, "I told you, Ye Fei won't go to your place no matter what."

Academician Lu felt helpless when he saw the dean refusing to the end.

Academician Lu looked at Ye Feidao: "Academician Ye, what do you think?"

Ye Fei smiled bitterly and said: "Academician Lu, even if I want to leave, I can't leave unless the dean lets me go!"

"Has your file been transferred here?" Academician Lu asked.

If Ye Fei's files are transferred to the Graphene Research Institute, it means that Ye Fei is from the Graphene Research Institute.

All future work arrangements for Ye Fei will be arranged by the Graphene Research Institute.

Ye Fei said vaguely: "Absolutely!"

Naturally, Ye Fei's files were not transferred to the Graphene Research Institute, but were still at Zhonghu University.

Academician Lu looked at the dean and said, "I have a batch of the world's latest transmission electron microscopes bought from Japan and given to you."

Transmission electron microscope is one of the important instruments for studying materials.

The dean shook his head and said: "No, our institute is not short of money, you can buy it yourself."

Academician Lu said: "We have a lot of materials research materials there, especially carbon nanotube research. Your institute can send people to study with us for free for a period of time."

The dean still shook his head and said: "No, we also have a lot of material research information."

"Although the information on carbon nanotubes may not be as good as yours, it is enough for us to learn from."

Academician Lu was very anxious. Dean Li didn't want the equipment or materials, so he had nothing to give.

Give me money, the Graphene Research Institute is not short of money.

There is no shortage of talents in the Graphene Research Institute.

People, money, equipment and materials are not needed by the Graphene Research Institute.

Academician Lu said anxiously: "Then whatever your institute wants, just say it and I will give it to you whatever I can do."

"Even if I don't have it, I'll find a way to get it for you."

"No need!" The dean shook his head and said, "Our institute lacks everything. Even if we want it, we have to ask for it from above!"

Academician Lu felt desperate. Dean Li was right. The Graphene Research Institute is a national-level research institute, and if you want things, you must ask from above.

And it's easy to get it.

Ye Fei and the dean looked at each other, a smile flashed in their eyes, as if their plan had succeeded.

Ye Feidao: "Academician Lu, I think it's better to let the Liao Provincial Nanomaterials Research Center and the Graphene Research Institute cooperate to study carbon nanotubes."

"Cooperation?" Academician Lu shook his head repeatedly and said, "We have been studying carbon nanotubes for many years and have a lot of experience and achievements in carbon nanotubes."

"If we cooperate with the Graphene Research Institute at this time, we will be plucked halfway!"

"Even if I agree, the people at the Liao Provincial Nanomaterials Research Center will not agree!"

Ye Fei said helplessly: "Then I have no choice. If you don't want to cooperate with the Graphene Research Institute and the dean won't let me go, then how can I help the Liao Provincial Nanomaterials Research Center?"

"Only if you both cooperate, can I help you!"

Academician Lu's eyes flickered, and he was thinking about whether to cooperate with the Graphene Research Institute.

Without cooperation and Dean Li refusing to let Ye Fei go, Ye Fei would be unable to help the Liao Provincial Nanomaterials Research Center.

Cooperation, Liao Provincial Nanomaterials Research Center’s research on carbon nanotubes is shared with the Graphene Research Institute.

Ye Fei, on the other hand, helps the Liao Provincial Nanomaterials Research Center and has a high probability of making breakthrough research on carbon nanotubes.

Whether it is cooperation or non-cooperation, there are pros and cons.

Ye Fei and the two looked at Academician Lu thinking. They were not in a hurry and drank tea slowly and waited.

For the dean, whether Academician Lu agrees or disagrees.

The Graphene Research Institute will not suffer any loss.

If he doesn’t agree, Ye Fei won’t leave.

Agreed, the Graphene Research Institute has made a lot of money.

After a long while, Academician Lu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I agree."

From a profit perspective, all past research on carbon nanotubes by the entire Liao Provincial Nanomaterials Research Center was sacrificed to cooperate with the Graphene Research Institute.

The advantages outweigh the disadvantages. After all, Ye Fei is worthy of letting them make such a big sacrifice.

The dean smiled and said: "Okay, Academician Lu, if you cooperate with us, we will never treat you badly."

"In terms of benefits, you can get 70%, while our research institute only gets 30%."

"Furthermore, we will allocate our institute's funds, policies, manpower, and material resources to you as appropriate."

Academician Lu was a little surprised when he heard this.

The Graphene Research Institute is a national key research institute, and the Liao Provincial Nanomaterials Research Center is a key research center of Liao Province.

The energies of national and provincial research institutes are naturally different.

Academician Lu thought: "From this point of view, although we have sacrificed a lot by cooperating with the Graphene Research Institute, we have also gained a lot of benefits!"

Academician Lu stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Dean Li, happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!" said the dean, extending his hand.

Academician Lu then shook hands with Ye Fei and said, "Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!" Ye Fei extended his hand.

After that, the Graphene Research Institute and the Liao Provincial Nanomaterials Research Center moved quickly and began to make preparations.

Of course, this is a cooperation between two major research institutes. It cannot be done just by signing a contract. They also need to hold a press conference to announce that they will cooperate in researching carbon nanotubes.

Kyoto, Beiyuan Hotel!

The president of the Graphene Research Institute, Academician Lu, Ye Fei, and some leaders from the Graphene Research Institute and Liao Provincial Nanomaterials Research Center were sitting on the stage.

There were many reporters sitting in the audience.

CCTV reporter Yu Mengmeng stood up and said: "Academician Ye, we know that you discovered C72 fullerene and high-purity graphene, and now you have begun to study carbon nanotubes. You want to study them all in the field of graphene materials. ?"

Ye Fei shook his head funny and said: "Of course not, there are many areas that can be researched on graphene."

"But my personal ability is limited after all. How can I possibly study all areas of graphene?"

“I just pulled out a few important ones to study.”

A reporter from Liao TV Station stood up and asked: "Academician Ye, can you explain what kind of material carbon nanotubes are?"

Ye Feidao: "You know about the Three-Body Novel!"

Everyone nodded, of course they knew that the Three-Body novel was a world-renowned science fiction novel.

"In the Three-Body novel, there is something called a space elevator, and the main material used to make the space elevator is carbon nanotubes."

"Ugh..." the reporters exclaimed.

They have been famous for space elevators for a long time, but they did not expect that carbon nanotubes are the main material for making space elevators.

A reporter asked: "Academician Ye, does this mean that as long as carbon nanotubes are developed, a space elevator can be built?"

Ye Fei shook his head and said amusedly: "Of course not. A space elevator is something in science fiction, and making it requires not only carbon nanotubes, but also many other things."

"Carbon nanotubes alone are far from being able to create a space elevator."

"Academician Ye, apart from the space elevator, what other functions does it have?"

Ye Feidao: "It can be used in conductive slurries for lithium batteries, solar cell coatings, high-strength structural materials, conductive coatings, catalyst carriers, field emission fuels, electromagnetic shielding materials and other fields."

"Carbon nanotubes also have strong adsorption capacity for environmental pollution."

"So, using carbon nanotubes can improve the environment around carbon nanotubes and make it cleaner."

"At the same time, carbon nanotubes are a relatively cheap material because of the material."

Another reporter asked: "Academician Ye..."

The rest of the people sitting on the stage smiled bitterly in their hearts. The reporters all asked Ye Fei for questions and ignored them.

But it's understandable, after all, Ye Fei's news is much richer than theirs.

Do reporters also need to eat?

Of course they like people who have a lot of news.

After a long time, the press conference ended.

Word spreads outward.

Many netizens who follow Ye Feihe's technology were very happy to see that Ye Fei was going to study carbon nanotubes.

[Space Elevator. When I read the Three-Body novel, I was very shocked by the technology in it, but I never thought it could actually be realized in reality. 】

[Is it possible that Ye Fei will develop the sophons, controllable nuclear fusion technology, VR technology and wireless charging technology in the Three-Body novel? 】

What sophons need is quantum entanglement technology.

Wireless charging technology has already appeared in reality, but the wireless charging technology in Three Body is a long-distance, long-term and high-energy charging technology.

In reality, wireless charging technology is only short-distance charging, which is far from the wireless charging technology in the three-body system.

[Are carbon nanotubes the nano-flying knives studied by Wang Miao in the Three-Body novel? 】

[Yes, that's it. 】

[Day, that thing is really powerful. It is the main technology to eliminate the ETO Adventist organization! 】

[Uh... you are talking about fiction, what we are talking about now is reality. 】

[Is it possible to develop two-way foil? 】
