Chapter 283 International Patent Obtained! (Monthly Ticket Requested)

Although he didn't have much hope of borrowing the chemical experiment data database from Princeton, Xu Chuan would do it if there was any possibility.

And with his current reputation, the winner of the Nofi double award, and from Princeton, there is still some hope to make this happen.

Deligne: "I have talked to McMillan about this. I'm not sure what he thinks, but he said he wants to talk to you first."

After thinking for a while, he continued: "I think you will not go abroad for the time being, and he has no time to come here for the time being. Maybe you should make a video call to communicate first?"

Xu Chuan nodded and said: "Teacher, please. I will find time to contact Director McMillan."

As long as he didn't refuse immediately, there is still hope, but in what form, it is uncertain.

Anyway, it is basically impossible to get someone else's database for free, and some exchange is definitely required. As for how to exchange, we have to talk about it in detail.

"Hi, Professor Xu, I finally found you."

As the two were communicating, someone beside them interrupted.

Xu Chuan turned his head and saw that the person who came to greet him was an acquaintance, Robert Morey Dean, the editor-in-chief of New Progress in Mathematics.

The two had met twice before, and his paper proving the weak Weyl-Berry conjecture was submitted to New Progress in Mathematics.

"Editor-in-chief Robert, I didn't expect you to come too." Xu Chuan shook hands with the editor-in-chief with a smile.

Robert smiled and said, "Of course, I think no one would want to miss such an important moment. Today's report was really wonderful. You conquered all of us on the stage!"

After laughing and reminiscing about the past, Robert turned to the main topic:

"Xu, I think you should know why I came. Can you give me the proof paper of the NS equation? New Progress in Mathematics will never let it down. We will review and publish it as quickly as possible."

The editor-in-chief also came to invite him to submit the interim results of the NS equation to New Progress in Mathematics, but unfortunately, he came a step late.

Xu Chuan: "I'm sorry, Editor-in-Chief Robert, the interim results paper of the NS equation has been submitted to the Annals of Mathematics."

"That's a pity, Xu."

After hearing that the manuscript had been submitted to the Annals of Mathematics, Robert said with regret.

After a pause, he continued: "Xu, can I make an appointment with you for the next paper manuscript? "New Advances in Mathematics" is also a good choice."

Xu Chuan's mouth moved. He has started to make an appointment for the next manuscript?

He didn't know what mathematical research he would do next. There were too many things to do later, and he didn't have much time to study mathematics.

But since the other party had said this, he couldn't refuse anymore and agreed to Editor-in-Chief Robert's request.

For Robert, although Xu Chuan was not invited to submit this time, it was also good to receive the next paper submission.

After all, in his opinion, the next person will definitely continue to study the NS equation, and they have a high probability of obtaining a proof paper for the NS equation, which is great.

The interim results report of the NS equation was successfully completed, and Xu Chuan sent the paper to the mailbox of the Annals of Mathematics.

This paper will be reviewed by three Fields Medal winners, Terence Tao, Shing-Tung Yau, and Smirnov, all of whom are top experts in the field of partial differential equations.

Although this paper proving a major conjecture is only a phased one, it still needs to be taken seriously by the mathematical community.

Of course, Xu Chuan was able to conquer everyone at the report meeting, and the peer review of the paper is just a matter of time.

After finishing the report meeting on the NS equation, Xu Chuan also relaxed a lot.

The next day, the communication with Feferman did not bring him much inspiration. It is unrealistic to continue to promote the NS equation.

In three-dimensional infinite space, whether there is a smooth solution to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation is still a mystery, and no one knows whether the divergence of turbulence will eventually return to calm.

However, Xu Chuan believes that this problem will be solved one day, and there is also a smooth solution to the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equation!

Just like whether a passenger plane flying in the sky will suddenly disintegrate, and a car driving on the ground will suddenly explode.

The existence of a smooth solution to the NS equation determines whether most things in our daily life will suddenly become disordered.

If the smooth solution of the NS equation does not exist, then the above things, even including various bizarre things, such as the sudden collapse of a building, the sudden collapse of the earth, and the explosion of a calm lake like a bomb, are all possible.

This obviously violates people's common sense.

In physics or science, if a problem appears too counterintuitively, then it is likely to be problematic.

So Xu Chuan believes that the smooth solution of the NS equation must exist!

However, there is no idea how to find and prove it.

"Junior brother! Good news! Great news!"

In the office, Xu Chuan was thinking about something, and the door was suddenly knocked open with a "clang", and the excited shouts were deafening.

Xu Chuan was distracted and suddenly got scared. After recovering, he looked at the master Xiong Fanpengyue who broke in.

"Has the patent application been approved?" After easing his heartbeat, Xu Chuan looked up and asked.

"??? How did you know???"

Master Xiong Fan Pengyue was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Who told you? No, I was responsible for this matter, and I was the first to know it. No one else knew it."

Xu Chuan smiled lightly and said: "Guessed."

"There are no experimental arrangements at the Sichuan Hai Materials Research Institute recently, and the research on lithium-sulfur batteries is not worth your shouting good news. The only thing that is worth your excitement is the previous patent of artificial SEI film."

"Abnormal!"

Fan Pengyue stared at Xu Chuan for a long time before uttering two words.

Xu Chuan shrugged. To be honest, this is nothing at all. You can guess it with your toes.

But the patent of artificial SEI film has been approved, which is indeed a happy thing.

After all, this patent is enough to realize his wealth freedom for a long time.

Taking over the authorization documents of various countries for the patent of artificial SEI film from the hands of senior brother Fan Pengyue, Xu Chuan flipped through them and saw the authorization documents of the United States, the European Union, small island countries, India and other countries.

According to his previous request, the international patents applied for artificial SEI film covered all member countries of the Patent Cooperation Treaty, as many as 120.

Although this cost him a million in patent application fees, these member countries basically covered 80% or even 90% of the global market. As long as someone used his technology in a product, he could benefit from it.

As for those developing African countries with smaller market scales, or patent authorizations in countries that have not joined the Patent Cooperation Treaty, Xu Chuan was not interested in having people go to those countries to apply in person.

Not to mention that it takes too long, it is useless even if the application is approved.

After all, in small and primitive countries like Africa, let alone industrialization to manufacture high-precision artificial SEI films, it is possible that Xiaolingtong and even 28-bars are not fully popularized.

When the business community develops the market there, let alone a 20-year patent protection period, I am afraid that 100 years will not be enough.

And in 20 years, it will be enough for him to develop and update lithium batteries for several generations, and even lithium-air batteries may be developed by him by then.

After all, the biggest problem in lithium batteries is the problem of lithium dendrites. Solving this problem will lay a foundation for the development of both lithium-sulfur batteries and lithium-air batteries.

Of course, he also has to hurry up and advance research and development as soon as possible, so as to prevent others from occupying these two markets first.

Flipping through the patent authorization documents in his hand, Xu Chuan looked up and said, "Yes, with these things, the laboratory will not lack research funds in the future!"

"Prepare for it, and then hold a press conference to invite manufacturers and media reporters interested in the battery industry at home and abroad. I will personally host it."

Fan Pengyue nodded and said, "What about the time? When will it be held?"

Xu Chuan thought for a while and said, "May 30th."

"After all, I still have to post the paper on Arxiv and journals. Even if it does not rely on the publication of the paper, I have to leave some time for the bullet to fly. The fermentation of news still needs time."

"If we want to sell the patent authorization at a good price, then a certain amount of heat is indispensable."

"Okay, I'll arrange it now." Fan Pengyue nodded.

In the office, after the two exchanged some details, Brother Fan hurriedly left, while Xu Chuan leaned back in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

The patent application for the artificial SEI film was successfully obtained, which was indeed a great joy.

Even if the paper has not been officially published, it does not prevent him from converting it into patent fees.

Thinking of this, Xu Chuan sat up again with full energy, turned on the computer and found the paper written by the Sichuan Hai Materials Research Institute.

The results paper of the artificial SEI film was written by the institute, and he had no time to write this.

Anyway, the results have been published, and it is not difficult to make up a paper.

It is convenient to have someone under your command. If he wrote it himself, it would take at least one or two days, but now he only needs to check and modify it, and confirm that there is no problem before he can submit it.

In mid-May.

The heat of the NS equation interim results report meeting has just passed, and the attention of the scientific media has not completely disappeared from the impact of the NS equation on the future of mankind. A new paper has been quietly uploaded to the Arxiv preprint website.

Although most of the people active on the Arxiv preprint website are mathematicians, physicists, or computer scientists, this paper still attracted a lot of attention when it was uploaded.

The reason is that the first author of the paper is a very special name - "Xu Chuan".

This name held a lecture that almost affected the whole world not long ago.

When the scholars who followed this name on Arxiv received the prompt from the website, the curious scholars clicked on the link as soon as possible to see what Professor Xu had published.

However, what almost no one expected was that this paper published on Arxiv was not the mathematical results, physical results, or astronomical results they thought, but came from a field that no one had ever thought of!

[A method of "carboxymethyl cellulose-lithium fluorocarbon compound material" to guide lithium ion deposition in lithium batteries and solve the problem of lithium dendrite formation. 】

The title of the paper made these scholars who kept paying attention to Xu Chuan look confused.

What is this?

Mathematics? Physics? Lithium ion deposition? Lithium dendrite problem? This seems to be about chemistry and materials, right?

For a while, the mathematical physicists who saw the paper suspected that they had read it wrong, or that there was something wrong with the arxiv website, and it pushed some messy things to them.

Even when many scholars read the paper and saw the names of the contributor and the author, they still doubted whether they were people with the same name.

After all, that person is a math researcher. Even if he has some achievements in physics and won the Nobel Prize, he is fundamentally based on mathematical knowledge.

But the deviation between this paper and the submission is a bit too outrageous.

It went directly from the mathematics community to the chemistry community and the materials community, which is simply one in the south and the other in the north.

After rubbing their eyes and flipping through the contributor's past manuscripts, and seeing the proof paper of the Hodge conjecture and the interim results paper of the NS equation, many scholars on Arxiv believed that this paper was really submitted by Xu Chuan.

"Fuck, Professor Xu Chuan is studying chemistry?"

"Solve the lithium dendrite problem? What the hell!"

"What is Arxiv doing, putting other people's papers under Professor Xu's name?"

"Mathematics, physics, astronomy, and now he has extended his hand to chemistry and materials, what a joke?"

"Maybe he just submitted it for fun, after all, it's Arxiv, you can submit it at will."

"According to this paper, Professor Xu is announcing that he has solved the lithium dendrite problem?"

"Impossible! Isn't it rare to announce the solution to the lithium dendrite problem every year? Not to mention 10,000, at least 8,000, but the lithium dendrite problem is already there, and there is no one who can solve it, and there are not even a few who can optimize it."

"What if this is true?"

"That's too scary, mathematics, physics, astronomy, chemistry, four major fields! Is there anything he doesn't understand? Don't forget that he seems to be only in his twenties this year!"

A chemistry paper posted on arxiv quickly aroused discussions among many mathematicians and physicists, and then the discussion quickly spread to the chemical and material communities.

After all, when facing a paper that is not in your field but you are paying attention to, the best way is to find a master in this field to interpret it.

The originally calm chemical, material and battery fields suddenly set off huge waves and discussions.

Although this is not the first time that such a paper has appeared in the materials field that claims to have solved the lithium dendrite problem, related papers emerge in an endless stream every year. But the contributor of this paper is really shocking.

The first Nobel Prize and Fields Medal double winner in history has previously solved one of the seven millennium problems, and not long ago he also solved half of the NS equation. His popularity is well known in the scientific community.

And now, he has extended his hand to the chemical and material fields. How can this not be surprising?

Such amazing news will naturally not be simply buried.

A few days after Xu Chuan posted the paper on arxiv, the big names in the chemical, material and battery fields all turned their attention to it.

To be honest, most people in the industry don’t believe that the lithium dendrite problem can be solved so easily, even though the contributor of this paper is a Nobel Prize winner.

But it won’t take much time to take a look. What if? What if the lithium dendrite problem is really solved, and they miss this news and opportunity, they will be upset.
