It was not an exaggeration to say that Old Qiu was the number one mathematician in China.
It was not an exaggeration to say that Old Qiu was the number one mathematician in China.
Only the late Hua Luogeng and Chen Shengshen could compare to him.
He graduated with a PhD at the age of 22, became an associate professor at the age of 25, solved the "Karaby conjecture" at the age of 27, and won the Fields Award at the age of 34. Just like Tao Xuanzhe, he was like a cheat code.
Not only did he win all kinds of awards, but his academic achievements also made him one of the most influential mathematicians in the world. His influence was in differential geometry, topology, algebraic geometry, representation theory, general relativity, and many other mathematical fields, even in the field of particle physics!
One of the most famous was his proof of the Karaby conjecture, which laid the theoretical foundation for the establishment of superstring theory in the 1980s.
Even though this was somewhat unintentional, the theoretical physics community still generally regarded this old gentleman as one of the founders of superstring theory.
It could be said that anyone in China who did mathematics research knew of this god. It was impossible for people who did theoretical physics not to know of this god.
However, because Old Qiu was usually very busy, it was not easy to meet this god.
Otherwise, even if it was just a few words, it would be very beneficial.
Therefore, when Lu Zhou heard that Professor Lu was going to take him to visit Old Qiu, he immediately asked, "When are we going to Beijing?"
Professor Lu smiled and said, "October, it's still early."
"…"
Then why are you telling me this early?
Lu Zhou was speechless.
Professor Lu saw that Lu Zhou did not speak, so he continued.
"I don't have any projects for the next two months, so you can just relax and recharge your batteries. I don't have much to say about mathematics, but you still have a lot to learn about quantum chromodynamics. I've already sent you the class schedule for the next semester. If you want to graduate next year, you have to put some effort into these classes. I don't care if you go or not, I'll test you at the end of the semester. I'll give you the scope of the exam. It's the class schedule in your email. "
Lu Zhou almost vomited blood when he heard the willful scope of the exam. He coughed and said, "Professor, the scope of the exam is a bit too big."
Professor Lu smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Have more confidence in yourself. I have faith in you! "
…
Regardless of how much quantum chromodynamics needed to be improved, there was one thing that had to be solved as soon as possible.
After Lu Zhou left Academician Lu's office, he didn't wander around the empty campus. Instead, he went straight back to his dorm and sat in front of his laptop. He began to study the data obtained by the scanner gun.
Although he didn't know what civilization produced this battery, it was far more advanced than any country on Earth, whether it was in terms of industrial level or technological level.
Putting aside the negative electrode material, the "oxygen element directional screening membrane" on the side of the tube wall was not something that could be produced with current technology.
Yes, even though Lu Zhou knew the structure of the material and all of the parameters were in front of him, he was certain that even if he uploaded this to the internet, no laboratory could produce this nano-thick diaphragm.
Without this membrane, even if the lithium dendrite problem was solved, it would be impossible to create a lithium-air battery.
As for the reason, anyone who studied high school chemistry knew that lithium not only reacted with oxygen, but it also reacted with nitrogen in the air to form lithium nitride crystals that were difficult to reduce. If water vapor leaked into the membrane, the explosion would be much more tragic than sodium entering water.
The Japanese had gone further in this regard and were very ambitious, but so far, they had not come up with any good ideas.
If they could not solve the gas molecular screening problem, the lithium-air battery would have to be built with an oxygen tank. There was no way to build a cell phone, but there might be an alternative energy car.
However, he believed that no one would be willing to risk turning their car into a rocket every time they ignited it.
After in-depth research, Lu Zhou could now conclude that this battery wreckage should be the legendary lithium-air battery.
The positive electrode was a gas chamber covered by a gas screening membrane, and the negative electrode was a lithium anode material wrapped in electrolyte … However, the electrolyte was completely leaking, and the anode material had completely turned into lithium oxide.
The design structure was simple and clear, to the point that even if it was placed in front of an earthling, no one would be able to copy it. Because the technical difficulties were all in the details, many of the problems that originally needed to be solved from a design point of view were all solved by the materials.
Even the plastic used inside the battery, Lu Zhou tried to search the molecular formula on the internet, but he could not find this type of plastic at all.
Fortunately, the material needed to protect the lithium anode and prevent the growth of lithium dendrites was not something special. At least in Lu Zhou's opinion, it was not impossible.
Under the completely oxidized lithium anode material, Lu Zhou saw a piece of copper foil.
Of course, the copper foil was not the key to stopping the lithium dendrites. The key was a layer of improved PDMS nanoporous film on top of the copper foil.
The PDMS material was nothing special, it was polydimethylsiloxane, which could even be found in some skincare products and shampoos. The nanoporous structure in the PDMS film was probably one of the keys to solving the lithium ion transport and "breathing problem".
As for the nanoporous film made with PDMS, Lu Zhou speculated with his limited materials science knowledge that it could probably be prepared by spin coating and hydrofluoric acid etching. Not to mention the technology to completely restore the wreckage, but a limited restoration was still possible.
Under the PDMS film, Lu Zhou also saw a layer of specially treated hollow carbon nanospheres.
Using the inverse principle, Lu Zhou guessed that these carbon nanospheres probably "flattened" the lithium dendrites that were still in the moss-like growth stage when the lithium ions were discharged at the anode.
Lu Zhou stared at the screen for around half an hour. He touched the hot motherboard and leaned back in his chair. He took a deep breath and said, "That's right.
He sighed and said, "This is a difficult task!"
Even a 20,000 yuan computer is so hard to run. I guess I have to rely on a professional computer to process this data.
Once the patent problem was solved, he planned on building a laboratory near Jin Ling University to specifically research this stuff. He would then hire a large group of graduate students and PhD students to work for him. Then, he would only need to assign research projects. He could even let Xiao Ai do the work for him.
However, it was not too late to look forward to the future. Whether he became "Doraemon" or "Iron Man", there were more important things waiting for him to do.
Lu Zhou took out a piece of A4 paper from his drawer and picked up a pen. He wrote two words on it and circled "PDMS film" and "carbon nanospheres".
He planned on registering patents for these two things separately. He would then use them as a whole to register a patent called "L1 anode material".
Actually, if he had the time, he could even figure out the production process and register a set of patents for the industrial production process. This way, he could take all of the profits. Even if he did not produce it himself, he could package it and sell it to others at a reasonable price.
However, Lu Zhou did not choose to do this.
First of all, the design and production process was beyond his capabilities. Also, he was very clear about his position. As a scientific researcher, his battlefield was in the laboratory, not in the mall or the factory.
As for how to implement the technology into industrial production, it would be better to leave it to the professional engineers. He had to leave something for others to eat. Of course, the bigger the market, the more he would eat. There was no need to think like a small farmer and haggle over marginal profits.
If he had the time, he might as well use the patent fees to upgrade his equipment and reverse engineer more technology from this battery. Doing research and building a factory were both unnecessary and inefficient.
Doing research and making products were two different things. It was just that many laymen were used to talking about the two. It was far more efficient to do what one was good at than to just do it in one place and do it in another place.
However, even though Lu Zhou planned on eating the patent fees, it was not that easy to earn the patent fees.
In order to solve the hidden problems, he had to create this thing in the laboratory at least once.
Otherwise, a lot of things could not be explained. Not to mention, applying for a patent and writing a thesis also required experimental data.
The most important thing now was to design the experiment.
Only by solving the experiment problems could he happily register the patent and happily write a thesis … Oh, no, how could a scientist call this pretentious?
