In the fourth week of November, the second day after Black Friday, the m autumn meeting will be held as scheduled.

Because it was invited to participate in the meeting, Lu Zhou was regarded as enjoying a VIP treatment. After getting off the plane, he took the shuttle bus and arrived at the five-star hotel arranged by the organizer.

In general, the duration of the m meeting is at least one week, and occasionally it will be dragged to the tenth day.

As for this time, the situation is a bit different.

As the problem of lithium dendrite was properly solved, the paper on the concept of lithium battery related to this time showed a spurt of growth, and the number of papers linked to new energy with photovoltaic materials also increased to varying degrees.

Many research institutes that have already made reports in the Spring Festival have even changed the previously reported things, and rushed through the papers to apply for an oral report, so that the organizers had to extend the meeting time to twelve days.

As for Lu Zhou’s report, it was arranged the next morning.

When he first arrived in Boston, there was no special arrangement today, so he planned to transfer around here. By the way, I will listen to a few reports and be familiar with the style of the report here.

Putting the carry-on baggage at the bedside, Lu Zhou went to the bathroom and washed his face, then went downstairs to the center of the venue not far from the hotel.

Even if I have participated in many reports, I can't help but feel the emotions of Lu Zhou who saw the truth of the autumn meeting.

In terms of scale, the m meeting is really too big, and the meeting in the mathematics world is simply not on the order of magnitude.

Dozens of venues, hundreds of topics, and thousands or even tens of thousands of conference participants.

Every year at this time, hotels and hotels near the venue will be very hot. Because most people participate at their own expense, or even just come together to make a lively event, it is obviously impossible for this part of the organizer to be responsible for solving the accommodation.

Formally speaking, the model of the m conference is not much different from the academic conference held by the Federal Mathematical Society in Princeton.

Each venue is divided into two parts: an oral report and a poster.

The former are generally done by big cows, and there are many high-quality papers and reports. This part is not only the essence of the report, but also the "battlefield" of strong schools such as MIT, Harvard and Cornell.

Especially when it comes to some popular and cutting-edge areas, the discussion is usually extraordinarily “fierce”, so don’t be surprised if there is a physical conflict.

As for the latter, the threshold is relatively low. As long as the papers submitted for the conference are worthwhile, even if you don't get the chance to give a verbal report, you can usually get a poster booth for the corresponding topic.

However, it is precisely because of this, this piece is relatively mixed, there are high-level but lack of opportunities for the Mavericks, there are also legendary "ppt entrepreneurs." It may be because the attention is not high here, everyone is more enthusiastic when discussing the problem, but in general it is still restrained.

Crossing the center of the venue, Lu Zhou looked around and found that everyone behaved very friendly at the moment, walking together in twos and threes, some taking pictures, some talking and laughing...

In short, there is no such exaggeration as Professor Chiric described.

Seeing this scene, Lu Zhou is also relieved.

When he got off the plane, he was still hesitant to buy a pickpocket guy to defend himself, but now it seems that his consideration is purely superfluous.

But to be on the safe side, he still took the "watch" that the system rewarded.

Even large probabilities are not used.

......

After hanging around for a while in the poster display area, Lu Zhou just went to the venue of the lithium battery topic.

When he passed the first lecture hall, a report was going on.

After seeing the academic poster posted at the door, he found that the above content turned out to be the legendary lithium-air battery, and suddenly there was a look of interest in his eyes.

Seeing that the report did not seem to start for a long time, the professor on the stage was still preparing the ppt, Lu Zhou walked into the lecture hall from the back door, and found a position in the back row to sit down and prepare to listen.

Strictly speaking, a series of lithium battery concepts, including lithium-air batteries, can't be considered as a subject in the field of materials.

But just like the concept of photovoltaics, when the main problem facing a big proposition is on the material, it naturally becomes the proposition of material science, even if it looks more like a new energy problem.

Soon, the report will begin.

Standing on the podium is a very neat professor with a hair comb, about 50 years old.

Look at the text on the cover of the ppt, his name is Sarrot, from Cornell University.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am honored to stand here. It is well known that Professor Lu Zhou, from Princeton University not long ago, published a paper on modified pdms film materials published in "Natural Chemistry" to overcome lithium batteries. The most critical problem in technology!"

"If it is the spring party half a year ago, you may be scornful about the concept of lithium-air battery. But now, we must admit that the new era has arrived!"

Standing on the stage, Professor Sarrot spoke of the eyebrows, and in less than a moment, the whiteboard next to it was filled with various chemical reactions and various seemingly reliable data.

Some people listen to the concentration, but some people sneer.

Sitting in the back row of the venue, Professor Krell of Columbia University held his arms and endured the questioning process. He finally couldn’t help it, and said in a satirical tone.

“How do you solve the reaction between the lithium anode and the nitrogen in the air? There is water vapor? Even the cleaners in our lab know how active lithium is. I bluntly, in my opinion, you are not doing batteries. It’s a rocket.”

He is a lithium-sulfur battery, and lithium-sulfur batteries are also the mainstream of today's lithium battery research. Although lithium-sulfur batteries have many black spots, they seem to be at least more reliable than lithium.

Many people in the meeting laughed, but Sarnot did not care.

I saw him clear his throat and continued.

“Professor Krell’s question is very good. Interns in our lab often ask this question, but formal researchers usually don’t ask this question because we are thinking about how to solve the problem, not just like a layman. Know the fuss."

I heard the irony in the words, the people who were laughing were not laughing.

It was the person who did not laugh, and laughed out.

Because there was a play.

Without the opportunity to refute Professor Krell, Professor Sarrot looked at him provocatively and continued.

"We all know that Mr. Krell is engaged in lithium-sulfur batteries, but to be honest, I am also very curious, how he intends to solve the shuttle effect caused by the dissolution of polysulfide intermediates into the electrolyte and diffusion from the positive electrode to the negative electrode through the separator. Under normal circumstances, even if you are mentally retarded, you can't stick the positive and negative poles together."

When Clayton was angry, he was about to attack.

Sarot is a turn of the word and continues.

"On this issue, I talked with Professor Lu Zhou of Princeton. Theoretically speaking, it is unrealistic to separate pure oxygen from the air, but through a wonderful mathematical model, we can infer many potential products, and there are help. The possibility of our goal."

After a pause, Sarrot continued with a sturdy tone.

“I mean, if we can find a diaphragm that can be used to screen the passage of oxygen molecules, the problems faced by lithium-air batteries can be solved perfectly.”

"And this topic is exactly what we are trying to solve!"

Lu Zhou:? ? ?

When did I talk to him? !

As Professor Sarrot’s voice fell, no one suddenly spoke in the venue.

Including Professor Krell, many professors who are engaged in research in other directions have a thoughtful and even dignified look on their faces.

Several men in suits sitting in the back row are whispering exchanges.

From the point of view, these people are not quite like researchers, and from their conversations, Lu Zhou vaguely heard the words "investment", "cost" and "feasibility".

So far, he knows that he can't be silent.

Someone holding their own knowledge to force no problem.

But some people use their own banner to defraud funds, this can not bear!

Gently coughed, Lu Zhou stood up.

Seeing the one who stood up, Professor Sarrot suddenly did not recognize the Asian who was, and could not help but frown.

"This gentleman, may I ask you..."

"I am Lu Zhou," Lu Zhou coughed. "I can testify, I have not said it."

He hasn't finished yet.

A shoe flew from the back to the report desk.

Followed by the organizer's gel pen and water cup, all the brains were thrown up, and the entire lecture hall was in a mess.

"Cheat, let's go!"

"Get back with your ppt!"

Before Lu Zhou stood up, they were almost stunned by the so-called "mathematical model" mentioned by Professor Sarrot, and they doubted the life of half a minute.

It is also because of this half-minute suspicion that they are particularly annoyed and feel that they have been fooled!

Although Professor Sarrot, who was attacked by the group, seemed a little embarrassed, it was obvious that he was also a person who had seen the world. I saw him arbitrarily avoiding the thrown things, holding the side of the speech in his hand and quickly slipping out of the lecture hall.

The organizers who heard the news and arrived in time quickly stopped the angry researchers.

From the helpless expression of these staff members, it is obviously not the first time to deal with this situation.

Sitting behind the lecture hall, Lu Zhou saw the riot from the beginning and could not help but be dumbfounded.

The style of the industry...

So embarrassing?

Speaking of it, it is time for him to come to power tomorrow.

Lu Zhou suddenly felt that he was panicking now...
