As the banquet officially began, the guests attending the banquet stepped onto the dance floor one after another.
…
"Thank you." Professor Stanley happily accepted the blessing and took a sip of red wine gracefully. "Congratulations to you too. I heard that Exxon Mobil's stock price is growing very well."
After taking two steps back, the old professor leaned against the railing with a dejected face, as if he had aged more than ten years.
Woods smiled brightly and said, "That's natural."
Now that Professor Stanley has made a breakthrough in the lithium-sulfur battery project, it is undoubtedly shocking news for the entire industry.
However, forget about the core research.
He nodded and said in a tone that was neither close nor distant.
In his opinion, whether the kid comes or not, he should show the elegance of a winner and show mercy to the loser.
Stanley:…
Taking a deep breath, Professor Stanley repeated this to himself in his mind.
No matter how close his colleagues were to the result, as long as they missed the last step or were delayed by the last second, they would have missed the whole world.
However, he still couldn't figure out why all this was happening.
Of course, Professor Stanley also invited Lu Zhou.
For this old professor who was once defeated by lithium batteries, and now will return to the altar because of lithium-sulfur batteries, no matter whether they are people from the business side or colleagues in the materials field, they will not miss this opportunity to make friends with him.
This reminder also completely woke up Professor Stanley.
Resisting the urge to hit, he threw the email into the trash.
The reply was just one sentence, quite concise and to the point.
His face gradually turned from rosy to pale.
However, the boy's reply was very disrespectful.
Because this will mean that Mobil Chemical, which already has an advantage in chemical raw materials, will continue to seize the opportunity on patent issues.
A person who has no spirit of contract is not worthy of trust.
His mood at the moment was as if he had just stood on the clouds, only to be knocked down into the abyss by a stick.
At this moment, Professor Stanley suddenly thought of the email.
"Let us raise a toast to Professor Lu!"
"Hahaha! Thank you Professor Lu for your paper!"
After calming down, he thought about it from his perspective.
unless…
No matter how talented he is, Stanley will never include him in his core research team, let alone allow him to have access to sensitive data.
"What are you talking about? That caged carbon molecule's inhibitory effect on the shuttle effect is not as ideal as imagined?"
The people outside the dance floor formed large or small circles, enjoying the banquet in their own way.
"Of course, you are our hero."
The researchers standing next to him all knew the inside story to some extent, and everyone heard the ridicule in Professor Stanley's tone. It was precisely because of this that everyone laughed heartily, and many even whistled.
In a sense, he did a great job.
A trace of disdain flashed in Stanley's eyes, but he concealed it well.
The research assistant said tremblingly: "I have increased the carbon mass fraction to 50%. Although there is some diffusion effect on polysulfide compounds, this effect is far from what we expected..."
The carbon materials used as supporting structures, whether carbon nanotubes or carbon nanospheres, do not participate in electrochemical reactions.
Stanley nodded and said expressionlessly: "Yes, Mr. Ricardo, the data you brought has been of great use."
Professor Stanley's face suddenly turned sickly red, and his breathing became rapid.
"There is no doubt that this is a great moment! And great moments always require a group of selfless people who silently contribute to our cause."
It was this thought that made Professor Stanley shiver all over.
"You don't need to let a loser affect your mood."
…
Generally speaking, the carbon mass fraction in carbon-sulfur composite materials will be controlled within 30%. If the mass fraction of the carbon component in the carbon-sulfur material is increased to 50%, the material will completely lose its significance. Because what really participates in the reaction is not the carbon as the skeleton, but the elemental sulfur!
Broadway singers presented melodious songs to the banquet.
Ricardo was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "According to our original agreement, you will add my name to the paper, right?"
After obtaining the patent number, Professor Stanley submitted the paper to "JACS", the top journal in the chemical industry.
During the banquet, Professor Stanley naturally became the center of the audience and received the greatest attention.
If he had been poached and important experimental data had been leaked by a resigned researcher, he would never feel so relaxed. Even if you can hold back your anger, it is absolutely impossible to write a reply so calmly and calmly when faced with ridicule from your opponent.
The conversation stopped and everyone turned their attention to him, waiting for the big boss to continue speaking.
Still immersed in the joy of getting ahead, Ricardo obviously didn't realize this. He didn't even read the rejection on Professor Stanley's face, but regarded himself as the real "hero".
Confirming that no one heard what he just said, he lowered his voice and asked anxiously: "Are you sure you have experimented with all mixing ratios?"
Standing in the center of the banquet hall, Woods, who was in high spirits, raised his glass to Professor Stanley, "Congratulations, Professor Stanley. Your authoritative position in the field of lithium batteries has taken another big step forward."
“…”
[Not coming! ∠(△ ∠)＿]
As agreed in the contract, he will add his name to the signature of the paper and keep him in his research team.
What holds the boat of history forward is often the persistence and hard work of a group of "trackers."
Professor Stanley stood on the balcony of the rest area, holding his cell phone, with an expression of disbelief on his face, and at the same time subconsciously glanced back.
This credit was so great that Lu Zhou couldn't help but withdraw the lawsuit against this cute guy...
Even if the industry can accept such a cost, the market will not accept a battery that is outrageously large. Even though it is light in weight, the energy density (unit Wh/kg) is attractive enough...
Just now, he heard bad news from the research assistant who was on duty in the laboratory.
The research assistant said in a voice that was almost crying: "Professor! We are making batteries! It's a battery!"
To celebrate the victory of this battle, ExxonMobil organized a banquet. Not only Professor Stanley and his research team were invited, Woods also invited celebrities in the industry and corporate shareholders to participate.
"This is impossible. Continue the experiment and increase the carbon mass fraction to more than 50%!"
From the beginning, they were fooled...
Especially when he saw the emoji, his eyebrows twitched fiercely.
Standing with his research team, Professor Stanley held a bottle of champagne in his hand and spoke loudly with a smile on his face, attracting the attention of the people next to him.
After anxiously pacing back and forth in the banquet hall, when there was no one around Professor Stanley, Ricardo hurriedly stepped forward and squeezed a flattering smile from his nervous face: "Congratulations, Professor Stanley, Has your paper been submitted?”
Yes, they are making batteries.
However, neither he nor Professor Stanley, who was immersed in the joy of success, noticed anything unusual at this moment.
Enjoying the feeling of being in the spotlight, Stanley coughed slightly and changed into a solemn look and tone.
However, history will not remember everyone who worked hard on it, but will only remember the one who made the greatest contribution.
Until halfway through the banquet, Professor Stanley suddenly received a phone call...
A terrible thought came to mind.
In other words, it's bad news...
What the hell
"Quiet for a moment. Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Let me say something!"
"Toast!"
After saying that, he raised the goblet in his hand, and there was a hint of smile in his solemn voice.
His face returned to a spring-like smile. He stretched out his hand to straighten the tie on his chest and returned to the banquet with his head held high...
Since the beginning of the year, ExxonMobil has been building momentum to enter the new energy field. In the past six months, many people have been paying close attention to this matter.
