From university academician to chief academician

Ye Fei was stunned for a moment when he heard Director Li's words, and then asked in surprise: "What magical material?"

Director Li said: "I can't explain it in a few words. Come to the Graphene Research Center and see it with your own eyes. You will know what a magical material this is. It will definitely brighten your eyes."

When Ye Fei heard what Director Li said, his curiosity was very strong.

Hey, after hearing what you said, I definitely had to go and see it.

I, Ye Fei, have never seen any material that can blind my eyes?

I don’t say that I have seen all the materials, but I have seen at least tens of thousands of materials!

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Okay, Director Li, I'll be there tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay!" Director Li smiled and said, "I'm waiting for you at the Graphene Research Center."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Fei went to the conference room to take a look.

In the end, half of the academicians and professors joined Academician Jiyu and Academician Zongshi.

Seeing this situation, Ye Fei nodded slightly in his heart. It seemed that he no longer needed to allocate talents himself.

It is very good for them to compete like this. The resources they control are all equal. When they compete like this, even if one side loses in the future, the losing side will not be able to find any fault.

If your skills are inferior to others, no one can blame you.

Regarding dark matter research, Ye Fei has two research directions: theory and technology.

Among the theoretical plans, Ye Fei still needs to collect some inspiration.

It just so happens that the research of these two groups of people is a good direction for collecting inspiration.

Ye Feixin said: "Let them study it first. I will go to Kyoto tomorrow to see what magical materials Director Li can show me."

The next day, Ye Fei flew to Kyoto and arrived at the Graphene Research Center at around two o'clock in the afternoon.

At the gate of the Graphene Research Center, Director Li, Dean Gao, and many acquaintances they had met at the Graphene Research Center in the past stood at the door to greet Ye Fei.

Ye Fei got out of the car, greeted him with a smile, and said, "Director Li, Dean Gao, and Dean Ma, you don't have to be so polite."

Everyone came up to shake hands with Ye Fei, and then they walked towards the graphene research center.

Researchers passing by on the road were surprised to see Ye Fei.

Many people were shocked: "That's Ye Fei, why did he come to the Graphene Research Center?"

"Fuck...why is Ye Fei here?"

"Ye Fei hasn't been to the Graphene Research Center for several years!"

"..."

Director Li said: "Academician Ye, you have worked hard all the way. Why don't you come to my office first?"

"No!" Ye Fei said expectantly: "Director Li, please bring it out quickly and let me see what materials you have!"

Director Li looked at Ye Fei's eager expression and smiled slightly in his heart.

Director Li smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll show you the material!"

After a while, they entered a laboratory at the Graphene Research Institute.

There is a glass cover in the middle of the laboratory, just like the antique glass covers in museums.

There is a palm-sized black irregular thing in the glass cover that looks like stone but not stone, and looks like iron but not iron.

Director Li and others gathered around the glass cover. Ye Fei stood next to Director Li. They looked at the things in the glass cover.

Director Li pointed to the material in the glass cover and said: "This is that magical material. The internal structure is made of carbon elements. But compared with all the carbon element internal structures we used in the past, the internal structure of this material is more stable, and The internal structure of C72 fullerene is similar."

Ye Fei looked at Director Li and said, "So, this material is very hard?"

"Yes!" Director Li nodded slightly and said: "It is indeed very hard. We have done experiments. We used lasers and water jets, but they were unable to damage it at all. Later, we even used alpha rays, and there was no damage at all."

"Alpha rays?" Ye Fei's eyes widened in surprise.

Alpha rays, beta rays and gamma rays are the three major rays in the universe.

Of these three, gamma rays are the most penetrating rays in the universe. They are stronger than beta rays, and beta rays are stronger than alpha rays.

The energy released by gamma rays in one second is the energy released by the sun in 100 billion years.

The energy released by alpha rays in one second is the energy released by the sun for more than a thousand years.

The solar energy mentioned here is the heat released by the surface of the sun, not the energy released by the sun as a whole.

"Yes!" Director Li nodded slightly.

Ye Fei asked: "How many magnitudes of alpha rays?"

Alpha rays can be produced with current earth technology, and even gamma rays can be produced.

However, there is a big gap between the energy released by the rays produced in one second and the energy released by the rays in the universe.

Director Li said: "Three levels!"

Ye Fei was shocked when he heard this.

The alpha rays produced on the earth have a maximum of three magnitudes. Each magnitude is one hundred years of solar energy, and three magnitudes are three hundred years of solar energy.

Ye Fei suddenly said: "Wait a minute, if you say so, wouldn't this material be able to withstand the tearing of a black hole?"

It is only slightly damaged by alpha rays, and the energy released by alpha rays in one second is the energy released by the sun for more than a thousand years.

The tearing energy of the black hole is the solar energy of the sun for 6.5 billion years.

Sixty-five billion years of solar energy, that is, the energy of one second is the solar energy of the sun in just over two hundred years.

Three-magnitude alpha rays have three hundred years of solar energy, which is higher than two hundred years of solar energy.

This means that this material can exist in a black hole.

"Yes!" Director Li nodded: "And not only that, it also has super flexibility. Even carbon nanotubes in front of it have a big gap in flexibility."

Carbon nanotubes are the most flexible of all materials on Earth.

"It's also very light, much lighter than the graphene, fullerenes and carbon nanotubes we've discovered."

When Ye Fei heard this, he took a deep breath, and then his eyes flashed.

"That's it, that's it, there is hope, haha..."

Ye Fei was extremely excited.

Ye Fei looked at the material in the glass cover with bright eyes, then looked at Director Li and said, "Director Li, can you take it out and let me touch it?"

"sure!"

Director Li asked someone to open the glass cover with a key and then took out the material. Ye Fei couldn't wait to take it with both hands.

It feels slightly cool to the touch, but not as cold as iron. If you touch it for a long time, it will feel warm.

In addition to these, there is also a smooth feeling.

The quality feels lighter than stone and iron.

Ye Fei looked at Director Li and said, "Can it be manufactured in batches?"

Director Li smiled and said: "Of course you can. In fact, this is thanks to the batch manufacturing method of carbon nanotubes you developed at that time. Its production principle is similar to that of carbon nanotubes."

Ye Fei nodded slightly, feeling relieved and asked: "Did you name it?"

"Not yet!" Director Li said, "You discovered this material. We are just continuing to study what you discovered at that time."

"So, the name of this material is up to you."

Ye Fei smiled and said: "I don't dare to be greedy for credit. Although I discovered the material at the time, I did not study it in depth."

"So, strictly speaking, it was you who discovered it."

Director Li said: "Let's not refuse this. It was you who discovered and named it. The material belongs to our Graphene Research Center. This way, our Graphene Research Center takes advantage."

"Okay!" Ye Fei said helplessly.

Then, he thought seriously.

The rest of the people also looked at Ye Fei.

After a while, Ye Feidao said: "How about calling it F60 graphene?"

F is the first letter of Ye Fei's non-character, and 60 is the most basic internal structure code of graphene C60.

Everyone looked at each other, then nodded slightly and said, "Okay!"

Ye Feidao: "When will mass production start?"

Director Li said: "This needs to be discussed with the superiors, and it should be within half a year at the latest."

Ye Feidao: "As soon as possible, I need this material for an experiment."

Director Li looked at Ye Fei strangely, wondering what experiment Ye Fei was going to do.

But Director Li didn't ask any more questions.

Director Li said: "If you are in a hurry, I can ask the superiors to mass produce a batch for you in advance."

Ye Fei heard this and said in surprise: "That's great. I don't want more. Just give me a hundred kilograms first."

"Okay!" Director Li felt relieved when he heard that it was only one hundred kilograms.

Such a small amount of F60 graphene can be produced in less than a day.

After watching F60 Graphene, everyone found a place to sit down and chat about some academic issues.

Although Ye Fei no longer studies materials, his ability and talent in materials are obvious to everyone.

Therefore, Ye Fei had a lot to talk about with them.

Director Li said: "Academician Ye, I heard that you are studying dark matter. How is it? Are there any results?"

Ye Fei shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "This is just the beginning. How can we get results so quickly?"

"But..." Ye Fei paused for a moment and said, "The results will be produced soon."

Everyone looked at Ye Fei in confusion.

But seeing that Ye Fei didn't say much next, they didn't ask further.

Director Li smiled and said: "Then I wish Academician Ye will produce results as soon as possible."

Ye Fei smiled lightly and said, "I hope so!"

Director Li said in a joking tone: "Academician Ye, it seems that you are not going to study materials at this pace. Our research center really hopes that you will study materials. When you were in our year, you would have done something like that With so many achievements, our entire research center has been upgraded.”

"Academician Ye, if you continue to study materials, our research center welcomes you at any time. I will even give you my position as director."

After saying that, everyone laughed.

Ye Fei said funnyly: "Then I don't dare to come."

"It's not that we don't do research, it's just that the current research field is more important than materials science."

Ye Fei's current research is all about unknown problems in the field of physics.

Researching these issues will allow Xia State's scientific and technological level to be rapidly improved.

In the natural sciences, only two subjects are the most important, mathematics and physics.

Mathematics is the mother of science and physics is the king of science.

Most of the things we can see around us are physics, from the satellites in the sky to the zippers on our bodies.

If science and technology wants to progress, most of it depends on physics.

If humans want to realize space navigation, they must also rely on physics.

Of course, mathematics is the basis of physics. If mathematics cannot be developed, physics will not develop either.

Everyone nodded slightly when they heard Ye Fei's words.

After a long time, they ended their conversation.

The next day, Ye Fei returned to Jinling.

More than half a month later, Ye Fei received one hundred kilograms of F60 graphene.

In the laboratory!

Ye Fei was wearing a white coat and sitting alone in front of the electron microscope, looking through the eyepiece at the internal structure of F60 graphene under the microscope.

Ye Fei murmured to himself: "It's so beautiful. The snowflake-like internal structure is very similar to the structure of C72 fullerene that I saw at that time."

"It's just that the internal structure of F60 graphene and C72 fullerene has one more latitude."

"This is a more stable structure than the football-like shape of C60 fullerene and the snowflake shape of C72 fullerene."

"If C60 fullerene and C72 fullerene are two-dimensional structures, then F60 graphene is a three-dimensional structure."

"No wonder it has such high hardness and can withstand the energy of three orders of magnitude alpha rays."

After a long time, Ye Fei turned his head away from the eyepiece, his eyebrows slightly furrowed and his eyes twinkling.

"According to the hardness and flexibility of this material, the performance of the dark matter detector produced should be good."

Yes, Ye Fei thought of building a dark matter detector after learning about the material's properties.

Ye Fei is still determined to detect dark matter from the universe.

Because this method is simpler than deducing dark matter from theory.

As for the method of using dark matter detectors to explore the dark universe, Ye Fei still needs research in another field.

Allow dark matter detectors to travel through the universe.

Just as the quantum entanglement studied by Ye Fei previously allowed data to be transmitted instantly, in theory, the information transmission of quantum entanglement can be transmitted to the entire universe.

This time Ye Fei made the dark matter detector realize instantaneous shuttle.

This is similar to wormhole travel in science fiction movies.

But it is different from wormhole travel. Wormhole travel can bring people, but this instantaneous travel cannot bring people.

Moreover, because the dark universe is very far away from the earth and there is no anchor point there, once you travel out, you can't even think of coming back.

The research will be a bit difficult, but Ye Fei has the theoretical part because he has previous experience in developing information instantaneously.

There are two difficulties.

1. Treating entities like information can be transmitted instantaneously.

2. Only the transmitter, not the receiver, can deliver the physical object.

Previously, Ye Fei was unable to make the dark matter detector travel instantly.

This is because the materials currently used to create dark matter detectors on Earth are not up to standard.

Such a material can achieve instantaneous travel and will be broken in the moment of instantaneous travel, let alone instantaneous travel.

And now F60 graphene material may realize the conditions for instant shuttle.

Ye Feixin said: "I can't guarantee whether the dark matter detector made of F60 graphene can achieve instantaneous shuttle. We can only know after it is manufactured and the instantaneous shuttle technology is developed."

"But before that, I have to contact Director Yang of the Satellite Navigation System Management Office. Satellite manufacturing is done by their department, and they have experience. It is very convenient for them to manufacture satellites."

After saying that, Ye Fei glanced at the watch on his wrist, shook his head slightly and said, "It's already past six o'clock in the evening. Let's go have dinner and see if Director Yang is free tonight."

Immediately, Ye Fei stood up and walked out to eat in the cafeteria.

Before arriving at the cafeteria, Ye Fei heard loud noises.

After entering the cafeteria, Ye Fei saw many researchers chatting academically while eating, some of whom were arguing with red faces.

Ye Fei silently took the dinner plate and prepared three dishes, one soup and one porridge, two meat and one vegetable, and then sat in the corner to eat.

Ye Fei’s research institute gathers many high-quality researchers from across the country, and Ye Fei advocates academic debate.

Therefore, Ye Fei's research institute often has researchers debating academic issues.

As long as you are in the academy, you can see researchers arguing about academics everywhere.

In the evening, around eight o'clock, Ye Fei's home!

After taking a shower, Ye Fei sat in the study wearing white pajamas and called Director Yang on the phone.

Soon, the phone was connected and there was some noise on the phone.

Director Yang said: "Academician Ye, are you okay with calling me so late?"

Ye Feidao: "Director Yang, I recently got a batch of new materials. Give me an email and I will send you the data. I want to make it into a dark matter detector. I want it to realize instantaneous travel across the universe."

Director Yang was stunned when he heard this and couldn't believe his ears.

Traveling through the universe instantly?

Young man, are you kidding me?

Instant travel is far from possible with current earth technology!

However, Director Yang did not refute Ye Fei. He knew that Ye Fei had a very high status in the academic circles of Xia State and it was difficult for the two to have conflicts.

Director Yang said: "Okay, I will send you an email right away. Please send the information!"

Shortly after hanging up the phone, Director Yang sent an email.

Ye Fei used the computer to send the information about F60 graphene.
