It is obviously difficult to cover all these research topics by just a few universities in Jinling and the fledgling Institute for Advanced Study. It is also imperative to cooperate with other universities and research institutions.
In the end, this report, along with other proposal reports, was sent to Lu Zhou's desk...
I don't know if it was his imagination, but he always felt that this conversation was somehow dirty.
Yang Xu said in a relaxed tone: "The situation is quite optimistic. There are many professors who are interested in the collaborative research plan we proposed. They can help us digest at least more than 20 topics."
Controllable nuclear fusion is a huge project, and the materials alone are enough to solve more than a hundred topics. This is only expected, and there are no unexpected surprises.
Yang Xu nodded and said: "It has been sent. In addition, in order to complete the final design of the production line, they need us to send a few researchers to help."
Looking past the title, Lu Zhou looked directly at the text and read line by line.
Overall, the proposal report was pretty good, and at least it gave him an idea worth trying.
"OK."
If what you take is "interesting" enough, it might be an SCI article in Area 1.
In the material making business, you can always get all kinds of strange things, at least he is not surprised.
By the way, the title of this proposal report is quite simple...
Yang Xu smiled and joked: "The Nobel laureate invited me to drink coffee, which I can't miss."
Hou Jinli is not the only person who is interested in the problems encountered in experiments related to SG-1 materials, nor is he the only person who has the idea of in-depth research, but he is probably the only person who is interested in the waste materials in the experiments. .
After holding it in his hand and rubbing it for a long time, Yu Junda frowned and said, "Why don't I feel it?"
"What's that thing for?"
"Isn't this instant?"
After all, many outstanding research results in the history of science were discovered in accidents of this kind.
It seems that he has to step up his efforts...
"Even if it's instant, you have to grasp the water temperature and the timing of adding water..." After a slight cough, Lu Zhou changed the topic, "No more chatting, how is the situation over there at Zheda?"
Lu Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Then send a few people over. You should consider the selection of people and try not to delay our progress."
In terms of enterprises, Baosheng Group, a subsidiary of China Airlines, is their main partner and is responsible for solving the industrial production problems of SG-1 materials.
In the end, instead of throwing it into the waste bin, he threw it on the experimental table next to him.
At this time, a knock came from the door.
Of course, it is best to scan it with an SEM electron microscope, and the situation will be clearer.
"Unknown black substance produced during the preparation of SG-1 material?"
Isn't it carbon residue
"It's okay," Yang Xu waved his hand and said with a smile, "This is part of my job."
In short, after a lot of twists and turns, he used his spare time to write the proposal report.
After a pause, Yang Xu continued: "By the way, one more thing. Last night Baosheng Group sent an email. They have formulated a draft of the SG-1 industrial production plan."
After finally finishing all the work, Lu Zhou stretched, stood up from his office chair, and walked to the coffee machine to make himself a cup of coffee.
"The door is unlocked, just come in."
Yu Junda: "..."
"I plan to write a project application to see if I can apply for SEM electron microscope machine time and analyze the ingredients of these things," Hou Jinli paused and continued, "I think this thing is quite interesting."
Lu Zhou, who was sitting on the office chair, thought for a moment and finally signed his name on it.
Sighing silently in his heart, Hou Jinli hesitated for a moment while looking at the bag of black waste in his hand.
The New Year's Eve is getting closer.
Now, Baosheng Group has completed the draft production plan.
Many materials research institutes working on carbon nanotechnology or superconductivity may have heard its name from the MRS Autumn Meeting, but they still know very little about the details.
As long as the chosen research direction is consistent with or related to the key research directions of the institute, and as long as the research value of the topic can be clearly stated in the proposal report, the passing rate will be relatively high.
Of course, it is also possible that it is potassium permanganate residue, or a mixture of the two, or something else.
At the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, in addition to the National Natural Science Foundation and municipal scientific research funds, researchers can choose from the institute's proprietary funds. Another way to apply for funds and equipment is to choose the institute's proprietary fund.
"Has it been completed? Send it to my email shortly."
Looking at the proposal report in his hand, Lu Zhou had a strange expression.
Taking the coffee cup from Lu Zhou's hand, Yang Xu took a sip and hesitated slightly.
Both parties complemented each other on their respective strengths and signed a cooperative research agreement. The institute is responsible for solving technical problems, while Baosheng Group is responsible for solving design problems and implementing specific production work.
Yang Xu nodded, turned and left the office.
Materials is one of the strong majors at Zhejiang University, especially in the direction of carbon nanotechnology.
Lu Zhou has always been quite generous in terms of funding. He encourages researchers to study problems discovered in experiments, even if these discoveries may not necessarily have economic benefits, as long as they are meaningful enough.
In fact, both superconducting graphene and the SG-1 material itself are completely new directions.
A few days ago, on behalf of the Institute of Computational Materials, he went to Zhejiang University for a visit and exchange, and he just rushed back from there today.
Yang Xu will go to Shuimu in a few days. The more allies he can win, the better.
Noticing his colleague's movements, Yu Junda glanced at him and asked curiously.
Convinced that his feeling was not an illusion, Hou Jinli said in a positive tone: "The more you touch it, the more you will feel it."
For Lu Zhou, this is probably the best news he has heard in these days.
At least, he had to do an XRD test on this thing first.
Yu Junda couldn't help but complain: "Isn't this thing just carbon residue? What's there to study?"
The door opened and Yang Xu appeared at the door.
Hey, I really want to have my own laboratory...
Hearing this, Lu Zhou nodded with satisfaction.
"Well done, thank you for your hard work."
"No need for now," Lu Zhou smiled and picked up the freshly brewed coffee. "I'm pretty good at making coffee. Do you want to try it?"
Using only the instruments at hand, Hou Jinli could pick off his scalp and still not be able to analyze the reason.
It is precisely because of this that there are still many places worth exploring.
…
Looking at Yang Xu's back, Lu Zhou then looked at the calendar placed on the corner of the table.
Seeing Lu Zhou standing next to the coffee machine, Yang Xu smiled and said, "Aren't you considering hiring a secretary?"
Hou Jinli picked up the bag of waste again and threw it into his hand: "It feels a little different from charcoal residue. If you don't believe me, feel it yourself."
Six of the ten proposal reports were approved, and the remaining four were rejected by him because they did not meet the standards for various reasons.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou's face suddenly showed an expression of interest.
