Chen Guang admired Zhuo Jingsi. In fact, Zhuo Jingsi was also secretly observing Chen Guang during the experiment. It had to be said that the first time he did an experiment, Zhuo Jingsi's eyes lit up. The reason was simple. Zhuo Jingsi had been doing experiments for more than four years and was extremely familiar with the operation of various instruments. However, Chen Guang showed a different side in his first attempt. His hands were really too steady and fast.
The experiment to determine the concentration of ammonia nitrogen and total phosphorus was not very technical. In actual operation, it was just holding a pipette gun and constantly moving the constant temperature heater and water bath pot.
The main work involved the addition of sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and other chemicals. During the experiment, the chemicals were added in test tubes one after another.
A fast person might only need thirty seconds to drip ten times of sulfuric acid, but a slow person's hands kept shaking and might not even be able to finish in five minutes.
Just this small detail could open up a gap of four and a half minutes. When magnified to the entire experiment process, the difference was terrifying.
However, this was not what made Chen Guang special. He was obviously only an undergraduate student, but his thinking was extremely clear. At first, he was still blind and only knew how to move the solvents and use a spectrophotometer to measure the absorbance. After watching Zhong Yue do it once, he could calculate the standard curve himself.
That was not all. On the sixth day, when he finished the experiment and got off work, he packed his things in the office and prepared to go home. Chen Guang took the initiative to find her and asked her why the biochemical simulator, which consisted of an anaerobic tank and two aerobic pools, was designed this way, and why the ratio of different pool sizes was different. He also asked why the parameters such as residence time and pH value were adjusted this way. When he asked her why the anaerobic tank and the two aerobic pools had a pollutant removal rate of 80%, 55%, and 35% respectively, Zhuo Jingsi was completely stunned.
Zhuo Jingsi was stunned for a long time. Her brain, which had been numb from all the experiments, finally came back to her senses. She looked at him quietly. "I've seen your academic results for the past few years. Although you didn't fail many subjects, you didn't get more than 90 marks in any of them. I thought you didn't like studying, so I wanted to bring you to the lab to experience the atmosphere. Only now do I feel that you've really wasted your brain. "
She was a little angry as she said that. She stretched out her fair finger and poked Chen Guang's forehead. "My heart aches for you! You're so smart, why don't you spend some time learning? "
Chen Guang scratched his head in embarrassment. "You can't blame me. The atmosphere in our dormitory is like that. In the beginning, everyone applied for this major because environmental protection was a new industry and it would be easier to find a job in the future. But most of the seniors who graduated early went to work for companies to write fake postgraduate studies or environmental impact assessments. Or, if they had a better footing, they would take the civil service exam. But the other 50% of them had changed careers! They feel that there's no future in their major, and they can't be serious even if they want to. They all think that they'll change careers in the future anyway. "
As Chen Guang said that, Zhuo Jingsi also sighed. He was not talking nonsense. Gokyo University was already one of the first universities in the country to set up an undergraduate major in environmental science. It could barely be considered as an academic pioneer among the universities in the country. But after the undergraduate students graduated, other than those who went on to do postgraduate studies, the number of people who actually continued to work in the environmental protection industry was really less than 50%.
Zhuo Jingsi said unwillingly, "But that's the situation of others. With your brain, if you put in a little effort, it won't be a problem for you to get into postgraduate studies. Even if you can't stay in school after you graduate, it'll be enough for you to work as a project staff in some research institute."
Chen Guang shrugged. "I'm lazy. I've been staying in the laboratory recently. Seeing that you guys are so serious and busy, I can't help but think about some things. "
In fact, he didn't finish his sentence, but Zhuo Jingsi understood. She suddenly realized that the person standing in front of her was a man with a net worth of almost 200 million yuan. It seemed unrealistic to ask him to be a research worker.
She felt unwilling, but then she thought about how poor she was now. She was in no position to scold him. After a while, she said, "Forget it, I won't talk about you anymore. Seeing that you've been so serious these past few days, I'll treat you to a meal?"
"Okay!" Chen Guang agreed.
The two of them packed up for a while and walked out side by side. They saw Luo Jin standing outside with a book in his arms.
It seemed like he did not expect Chen Guang to walk out side by side with Zhuo Jingsi. He was caught off guard by the scene.
"Luo Jin, what's the matter?" Zhuo Jingsi asked.
Luo Jin hesitated for a while, then pinched his nose and placed the book in front of Zhuo Jingsi. "Teacher Zhuo, I've been reading a case recently. I want to ask your opinion on this kind of high concentration wastewater with excessive sulfate ions …"
Before he could finish, Zhuo Jingsi did not take his book. "I have something to do today, so I have to leave first. You can ask me tomorrow. I'm sorry."
Luo Jin did not expect her to reject him so easily. He was stunned for a while before he nodded helplessly. "Okay … okay …"
The two of them went downstairs. Chen Guang said with a smile, "He wants to treat you to a meal."
In front of Chen Guang, Zhuo Jingsi did not lie and replied, "I know. That's why I stopped him from talking. Luo Jin is a graduate student who was forced to come here. His brain is quite stiff when it comes to academics, but he is very thoughtful in other aspects. "
"What do you mean?"
"Previously, he found all kinds of reasons to treat me to a meal several times. At that time, I did not think too much about it. I thought he really wanted to ask me some questions, but guess what I saw?"
"Can you not keep me guessing?"
"A candlelight dinner … makes me sick. I'm so busy. Isn't this a waste of my time? "
Hearing those words, Chen Guang nearly burst out laughing. How bold was that brother of his? He must've watched too many dramas and thought that a candlelight dinner could move a woman.
The two of them sat in a small restaurant outside the school and watched her eat like she was fighting a war. She was probably busy going back to organize the data after the meal.
Chen Guang said, "Teacher Zhuo, you can eat slower. Why didn't I notice this before? I still remember when you first came to be our counselor. You were so delicate. We all thought you relied on your face to make a living."
Zhuo Jingsi's mouth was full of food. She said with a whimper, "Pfft! I'm used to it. I can't slow down. "
"Actually, I really admire you. Photocatalysts. I can't even count the permutations in my mind, and I'm about to collapse. I don't know how you survived. I always feel that you may have worked for ten years for nothing."
Zhuo Jingsi heard him talk about professional things and became interested. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and took a big gulp of water. "That's true, but you have to think about it this way. If someone could really find a suitable ratio and chelate method for dozens of photocatalysts such as silica, platinum, rhodium, palladium, and other photocatalysts, then determine all the reaction parameters, make a finished product, and use this kind of recyclable catalytic reaction material to remove more than 90% of the refractory phenolic pollutants. How much help would that be to mankind?"
Without waiting for Chen Guang to speak, she became excited again. "It's not just phenolic pollutants. There are also lipids, and even conventional CODcr or nitrogen and phosphorus. There are also dioxins that are more difficult to deal with. These things can be dealt with using the strong oxidation of the photocatalysis environment. Once you figure it out, think about it. Put a photocatalyst grid in a very polluted river, and when visible light shines on it, it can catalyze and degrade pollutants. These things that harm future generations can be turned into carbon dioxide, into non-toxic and harmless organic substances for the benefit of future generations. How great of an achievement would that be? "
Chen Guang was stunned. "I understand the logic, but it's too difficult. I've checked on the Internet. At present, most of the people doing this in China are just hype. "
"But you can't deny that it can really be done!" Zhuo Jingsi was not convinced. "We are a national key laboratory. I've already written more than ten papers published in SCI journals. This is not hype! This is knowledge! "
"Okay, okay, you're right. Knowledge, it's knowledge." Chen Guang did not intend to argue with her. No matter how good the prospects she said were, it was really too difficult.
Strictly speaking, just the ratio of dozens of materials, the ratio of coordination and chelation of precious metals, and finding the optimal reaction concentration, the possibilities were simply infinitely large.
What was even more frightening was that after you found a seemingly perfect ratio through continuous elimination, your perfect ratio would inexplicably be destroyed again when you changed the lighting conditions.
This was simply a bottomless pit!
Chen Guang thought to himself as he looked at the familiar figure flashing by the window outside the small shop.
Although he did not really agree with Zhuo Jingsi's philosophy, she was indeed worthy of respect.
"Maybe I really will be stuck in this for the rest of my life, but I have no regrets. Even if it's to help others with elimination, at least I've become a brick in the building of science, don't you think so?"
Chen Guang sent Zhuo Jingsi to the entrance of the neighborhood. When the two separated, Zhuo Jingsi said this.
Chen Guang nodded. "If you really are stuck in it for the rest of your life, I see that you have no plans to find someone to marry. You're too poor to feed yourself. I'll support you."
"F * ck you!"
"I'm still hoping that you can really do it. I feel that this is quite profitable. If you can make it into a unique product and sell it, the cost will be tens of thousands of yuan. A complete set of equipment can easily be sold for tens of millions. As long as the effect is good, there will be customers! Taking care of you is my investment! "
"Dream on! I'm in Teacher Shu's laboratory. All the results belong to the laboratory. How can I let you sell them for money? "
Not long after separating from Zhuo Jingsi, Chen Guang was stopped by Luo Jin.
"I knew you would come to me. Just say what you want to say." Chen Guang crossed his hands and looked at the angry bull-like senior with an indifferent face. He thought to himself, what a poor guy.
"Stay away from Teacher Zhuo!"
Luo Jin opened his mouth and said.
Chen Guang almost laughed out loud. He did not have much contact with Luo Jin these past few days. Although he felt that his hostility was always there, he kept it to himself in the laboratory.
Today, he had dinner with Zhuo Jingsi, and this guy could not hold it in anymore. He thought that he had some level of understanding, but how could he be so impulsive when he opened his mouth?
Recalling that he actually invited Zhuo Jingsi to a candlelit dinner, Chen Guang vaguely felt that Luo Jin's nerve circuit could not be a straight line, right?
