Chapter 918 Haiyuan’s Counterattack

"Have all problems been solved?"

"...Okay, I'll go back right away."

Professor Yang Yong held the coffee cup and looked at Professor He Ping, who started to get dressed and looked like he was about to leave after answering a phone call. He was stunned and asked: "Professor He, what happened?"

"Dr. Hao Qi just said..." As soon as he started speaking, Professor Yang Yong's cell phone rang. Professor He Ping paused, probably guessing something, and smiled, "Professor Yang, please answer the phone first."

Professor Yang Yong glanced at Professor He Ping suspiciously, said nothing, nodded and answered the phone.

The content of the phone call is very short, but the amount of information contained is very large.

After hanging up the phone, Professor Yang Yong slowly exhaled a breath, his eyes a little complicated, feeling both relaxed and having a headache.

"As expected of Principal Chen, the matter was resolved in two days."

"Principal Chen is indeed amazing." Professor He Ping sighed with emotion.

He expressed great agreement with what Professor Yang Yong said. There are many university presidents and academic experts, but there are not many presidents in China who can solve the technical level problems of lithium-air batteries submitted to them like Principal Chen. .

As a professor at Jinling University and an expert and scholar in China and even the world in the field of lithium batteries, He Ping is well aware of the difficulties that his team is currently facing, not to mention that Principal Chen has not only solved the problem of their team but the entire experiment. Problems encountered by all teams in the room!

Afterwards, the two left the coffee shop and walked back to the laboratory in a hurry.

Half an hour later.

National Laboratory for Energy Science and Power, Lithium-Air Battery Technology Laboratory, in the director's office.

"After all the professors have finished reading, just use the shredder on the table to destroy it." Professor Zou Huazhong smiled and poured a cup of tea for everyone in the office. It was obvious that he was in a happy mood.

"This is the golden eyebrow that the principal gave me before. It seems to be from Zhengshan Hall. Drinking black tea in winter is good for your health. Let's try it. If you like it, take a can back."

Professor Zou Huazhong is from Handong. Handong does not have as many famous tea brands as Hu Province, but it also has its own famous teas, such as Dongting Biluochun, Huaguoshan Yunwu Tea, Yuhua Tea, etc. However, he himself has lived abroad for a long time and does not drink tea much. , so I don’t know much about this field. In addition, the brewing of tea is very particular and is not as convenient as coffee, so I rarely make tea on weekdays.

There are two or three professors here who know how to taste tea, and Professor He Ping is one of them. If he had encountered Professor Zou brewing Jin Junmei like this in the past, he would have said it was a pity, but at this moment, he was concentrating on looking at the tea in his hand. Words, no matter how good the tea leaves are, are not as good as a single word on it to him.

"Dr. Wang is right, but I was wrong... The mainstream direction in academia is not necessarily the right one. I almost delayed the progress of the laboratory..." The voice next to my ear was Professor Huang from Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Full of self-blame.

In scientific research, academic authority does not mean absolute correctness.

Even academicians and experts cannot guarantee that their choice is right. They can only say that it is relatively accurate. Sometimes, a neglected doctor may be closer to the truth.

Professor He Ping looked at Professor Huang's appearance with a feeling of sadness in his heart. The further the path of scientific research goes, the more difficult it becomes for people to walk on thin ice. As Professor Huang said, the mainstream voice in the academic world is not necessarily right. If you take the wrong route, the consequences will be that all your hard work will be wasted, which is equivalent to useless work.

"Professor Huang, you should think from another perspective, maybe... we are lucky?" Professor He Ping raised the paper in his hand and smiled relaxedly.

Professor Huang was startled for a moment, then reacted and said with a wry smile, "That's right, after all, the other teams don't have Principal Chen here."

Several professors laughed after hearing this, and the atmosphere in the office instantly became much lighter.

"Zi——Zi——"

The sound of the shredder kept ringing, and within a few minutes the door to the office opened, and the professors hurried to their respective laboratories.

They can't wait to start the next step of research, and no one wants to be a delay.

Just when China's lithium-air battery research is in full swing, the Neon Country next door is also not idle.

…

Tokyo, Tokyo University campus cafe.

"There is an old saying in China: If you have nothing to do, don't go to the Three Treasures Palace." Tetsutaka Mizuno looked at the other party calmly and said bluntly: "Professor Nagagawa came to Tokyo from Tsukuba. He must have something big to do, right?"

As if he didn't hear it, Nagakawa Shouta slowly drank the coffee and sighed as soon as he put the cup down: "As expected of Maruyama coffee, the taste is still so amazing, but it's a pity that we don't have it on campus at the University of Tsukuba."

As the leader of the lithium-air battery project at the National Institute of Materials Science, Shota Nagagawa also serves as a faculty member at the University of Tsukuba. This situation is common in many neon research institutes.

"Professor Nagakawa, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Mizuno Tetsutaka frowned slightly, not bothering to beat around the bush, and stood up to leave.

In fact, Mizuno Tetsutaka didn't really intend to leave, so he walked very slowly. He only took two or three steps when the slow and leisurely voice of Nagakawa Shota came from behind.

"Professor Mizuno, you should be aware of the changes at AIST (Neon Country Institute of Advanced Industrial Technology), right?"

Mizuno Tetsutaka turned around and asked lightly: "So?"

"Don't you care about the research progress of Guanghua University?"

Ten seconds later, Nagakawa Shota looked at Professor Mizuno Tetsutaka who was sitting back in his seat, and felt relieved in his heart.

Lithium-air battery technology is a very promising and valuable research that will even change the global energy industry. There are many institutions around the world specializing in research, and Neon Country is no exception.

The research group with the deepest research progress in the country is Zou Huazhong’s research group at AIST, followed by Tetsutaka Mizuno’s research group at the University of Tokyo. Their NIMS (National Institute of Materials Science) also competes with FDK and NTT companies for the third position.

But now the situation is different. Professor Zou Huazhong was poached by Guanghua University, taking several senior researchers with him. This caused AIST to fall from the first place in an instant, and it was not even able to enter the top three.

NIMS took this opportunity to become the second most powerful scientific research institution.

The first one was naturally the research group led by Professor Tetsutaka Mizuno from the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Tokyo, which was also the key to his trip.

"The breakthrough in lithium-air battery technology will bring subversion to the world, especially the automobile industry," Tetsutaka Mizuno straightened his back and said with a serious face: "Similarly, the academic community recognizes that this technology will not be used in a short time. Being defeated, even if Professor Zou goes to Guanghua University, I will not be afraid. I, Mizuno Tetsutaka, do not think that I will lose to them. "

Neon Country is not like China. The teaching position is really a carrot and a pit. Retirement is evaluated, and all professors vote together.

The competition is fierce, and academic ability is not the biggest influencing factor. There are many academic factions. In Neon Country universities, bloodline, circle and inheritance are more important.

Of course, you can ignore all this in the face of absolute strength.

Tetsutaka Mizuno was born into a poor family and relied on his outstanding talent to carve out a path. During his Ph.D. study, he published 6 SCI papers in the first area, including a sub-journal of "Nature". He was hired by Tokyo University after graduation. AP (Assistant Professor), and later became the youngest associate professor and full professor in the University of Tokyo.

Along the way, he relied on his academic ability rather than his bloodline or circle.

"Professor Mizuno, you are right, but there is one exception."

"That's Guanghua University." Nagakawa Shota sighed with complicated eyes.

"We cannot look at Guanghua University with ordinary consciousness. What this university is best at is creating miracles."

Guanghua University's breakthrough in photon screen technology gave NIMS a slap in the face. This is a shame.

Neon people are best at forbearing, and will bite them like a poisonous snake whenever they have the opportunity.

"There is some bad news. Professor Chen from Guanghua University has recently been involved in the research of lithium-air battery technology. I would not be surprised to hear news that lithium-air battery technology has been conquered one day in the future. "

Saying that, Nagakawa Shota stood up, stretched out his right hand, and said in a deep voice:

"Professor Mizuno, maybe we can join forces."
