Cardi Diet sighed with a look of defeated expression, quite helpless.

"I admire your commitment and confidence in science. If you are successful, I hope to consider us."

Lu Zhou smiled and said: "Look at the situation, if the cooperation of modified pdms materials makes me still satisfied, I don't mind continuing to cooperate with you on new projects."

Caro Ditt’s face finally smiled.

"Thank you for your success... Yes, I want to ask, the direction of the hollow carbon sphere, do you think it can really become the key to solving the shuttle effect? ​​Please don't misunderstand, I am not inquiring about your research, just... ”

“I did say something similar at the seminar on lithium-sulfur batteries, but I hope that you don’t over-interpret it,” Lu Zhou replied with a headache. “I’m just optimistic, but I’m sure I can do it. come out."

It is already unknown that the first few people have asked him this question.

In an academically honest manner, Lu Zhou is sure to be responsible for every sentence he has said. However, seeing so many people because of his words, the hollow carbon ball showed interest in transcending friendship, he still could not help but panic.

What if I have a face?

Isn't it not guaranteed in the evening?

He now has some understanding. The old Scottish professor named Peter Bruce, after being beaten countless times, has to fight for the water.

This is not just a question of funding.

I have to pretend myself, and I have to continue to wear it with tears.

It seems that I have to work harder...

Caro Dithaha laughed and said: "I just ask casually, you should never be careful."

But looking at his expression doesn't seem like a casual question...

Carrotit did not stay in Jinda for too long, and waited until the instrument was sent to the experimental building and left.

Although it is a pity that I have not been able to reach a cooperative R&D agreement with Lu Zhou, it is only a pity for him. Scientific research is like gambling, and even top scholars can't guarantee that they will be able to make a difference.

After more than the results, the cooperation with him on patent issues is the same.

......

With the first batch of experimental instruments in place, Lu Zhou’s research institute in Jinling’s side has finally had no more than an empty laboratory building.

According to Qian Zhongming’s call from Belgium, the last batch of instruments has already started. He and Liu Bo will probably return to China two days later.

Listening to Qian Zhongming’s tone on the phone has already meant something that can’t wait.

After all, it is tens of millions of dollars imported equipment, for a researcher, it is impossible to say that it is not heart-warming.

It’s not just the money brothers who are far away from Belgium. The instrument has just been transported into the experimental building for less than a day. The president of the Institute’s Li heard the wind and found the door.

"Good guy, this thing has a million dollars." Reaching the surface of the instrument, the old gentleman likes how to look at this thing.

The research on semiconductors, nanometers and other fields is inseparable from high-resolution microscopes, images collected with ordinary electron microscopes, and images collected by SEM, which can be said to be an underground difference.

There are also many types of scanning electron microscopes.

The resolution of the high-end tungsten filament gun scanning electron microscope is about 3 nm, and the resolution of the field emission gun scanning electron microscope is below 0.8 nm, and the price gap between the two is also a world of difference.

Whether it is an imaging lens on a scanning electron microscope, an electron gun or an accelerating tube, even with a high-voltage generator and a low-temperature sample chamber, Lu Zhou is equipped according to the standards of the top laboratory.

Although expensive is a bit expensive, but a penny is worth the goods, from a long-term perspective, this investment is definitely not a loss.

Not only do researchers think that they are poor and love rich, but the major journals are the same.

It is no exaggeration to say that with the SEM scanning electron microscope to do the experiment, you are sweeping the roots of the hair, it is a sci. Experimenting with ordinary electron microscopes, the data is doing well, and it is difficult to go to "nature" and "siene".

Jinda’s chemical hospital is not without a scanning electron microscope, but such a powerful device is really not.

What's more, it's not just that the Institute wants to use this stuff. The life sciences school next door also needs to use it. The time allocated to each professor is quite limited. As for the students who write doctoral thesis, they have to apply in advance.

Academician Li has always wanted to add a new SEM to the Chemical Institute, but he has not applied for it.

"Not ten million is so exaggerated, it is like eight or nine million." Lu Zhou was embarrassed to smile, but soon thought of something, added another sentence, "It is only the dollar."

It is also eighty-nine million dollars.

Can not be replaced by rmb more than four or five million?

After listening to Lu Zhou’s words, Academician Li’s eyebrows twitched.

Sour and say a waste, people are their own money.

In addition to envy, there is no other feeling in his heart.

"You are willing to spend money... According to your usage, I am afraid that the whole experiment will be done, and the money invested will be worth hundreds of millions."

Lu Zhou shook his head and said: "Other places can be saved, but they must not be saved on the equipment. The rigorous mathematical model needs rigorous data as a support."

In fact, it is not as exaggerated as the academician Li said. This scanning electron microscope is basically a big part of the overhead. Other experimental equipment such as cvd vacuum tube furnace, arc chamber, Fourier infrared spectrometer, etc., also cost money, but It doesn't cost much.

Of course, even if it doesn't cost much, Lu Zhou didn't think about saving on these devices.

It is no problem to grievance the research dog in salary, but you must not be wronged on the equipment.

After all, the data is not accurate, the samples needed can't be done, the experiment always fails, not only let the research dogs violently go crazy, the pit is ultimately the boss himself.

Moreover, these devices are not one-off, this project has been used, and the next project can continue to be used.

According to Lu Zhou’s plan, the first phase will invest 50 million US dollars. After the project is over, he will consider adding another 50 million US dollars of investment to equip his institute with an atomic force microscope to build a top material science laboratory in China. .

It is no exaggeration to say that just rushing to the equipment in his laboratory, many people are only willing to work hard.

After all, following a small boss who has no money and no future, even a second-party sci must be intrigued. With the big boss like Lu Zhou, in this top-level laboratory mixed two sci sci, the value of the whole person is different after going out.

For some mixed research dogs, as long as you eat and control, you can't lose money.

Although very helpless, it is also one of the status quo of the academic circle.

The director of the pear couldn’t help but sighed: "You are a material science student, but it is really not something that ordinary people can learn."

In the past, he also took people to meet and discuss each other. If you want to open a department of computational materials at Jinda, it seems that the lack of professors is not just a lack of money.

"Yeah," Lu Zhou said with a sigh of relief. "Actually, I am still planning to match the Taiwanese supercomputer."

Supercomputing is a nuclear weapon for computing materials science, just like the "anton" of computational chemistry.

It is enough to do a qualitative calculation of a piece of paper and a pen, but if you want to do quantitative calculations, even with the experimental data to accurately simulate the polymer space model, this stuff has nothing to do with mathematics. Even if algebra and geometry are better, the amount of calculation is not solved by the human brain.

However, just bought a $50 million device, the assets have shrunk a lot, and it is impossible to say that it is not a pain.

In order to avoid the tight research funding, he plans to slow down before the new project produces results.

At this moment, Lu Zhou suddenly noticed that Li, who was standing next to the scanning electron microscope, suddenly did not speak, and could not help but squat.

"what happened?"

Dean Li: "..."

Did not pay attention to Lu Zhou.

At this moment, he did not want to say a word.
