Chapter 406 Graphene

Since Yang Xing knew that the method of obtaining graphene was so simple, of course he didn't want to lose others, and he thought it would be better to take the results of the Nobel Prize in his own hands. He just heard Effie said that California Institute of Technology was also developing this material. I think it was not the only British that was engaged in the research in the world at that time. It seems that time is still too late. He vaguely remembers that it was not until 2004 that the two British scientists achieved the success of graphene production.

In contrast, if Yang Xing could develop this future high-tech material in advance, graphene was light and strong, and it was the best conductive material in the world, and it would have a basic position to replace silicon-based materials in the semiconductor industry. Yang Xing, who owns several major manufacturing companies such as Xingchen Manufacturing, Nebula Electronics and Xingwei Energy, immediately realized how much profit this material would bring to his company. For Yang Xing, who was determined to climb to the top of the high-end manufacturing industry, monopolizing such material production patents with great market prospects is tantamount to a printing machine that continuously prints money!

At the same time, he also had another idea. At the beginning, he targeted Kao as the future Nobel Prize winner, tried his best to bring him to be the president of City University, and sent several medical experts to check his body all day long, just to try his best to delay the Alzheimer's disease he will develop. I just thought that after Kao won the prize, he could prove that he was successful under Zhongxing Group, which was more effective than broadcasting advertising companies on TV stations around the world. After all, the Nobel Prize winner is like a living business card, with supreme authority in the field he is engaged in. Now there is a ready-made opportunity for him to recreate a Chinese Nobel Prize winner. It is really an opportunity to never come back!

Thinking of this, he quickly sat up and asked Effier seriously: "How many Chinese are there in your project team? How are the progress now? Can the patents obtained by the project be sold? If you are willing to sell them all?"

Effie was confused by his questioning like a cannon. It was obvious that Yang Xing was very interested in this graphene project, which surprised her. However, out of her constant trust in Yang Xing, she still tried her best to explain what she had learned. It turned out that this was a project that a Chinese professor named Wen Shihao from the California Institute of Technology voluntarily volunteered to apply to the school. Because Chinese students in the United States have always been famous for their diligence and learning, and 10% of the 3,000-person teacher-student team of California Institute of Technology are China.

People. The school was not very interested in this project, but he reluctantly agreed to the funding because he looked at Professor Wen's reputation. Professor Wen is also a person who never forgets his hometown. He specially selected Effier, a freshman from Hong Kong. In addition to her extraordinary talent, most of her Chinese ancestry was also interested in her Chinese descent. However, at this time, the scientific community recognized that it was technically impossible to generate single-atom graphene, so this research was not valued at the California Institute of Technology, and there was a lack of members and funds.

After hearing this, Yang Xing was overjoyed and asked quietly whether Effie could ask Professor Wen if he agreed to sell his research results. Yang Xing also expressed his willingness to continue to support their research projects. The only requirement was that the patent was returned to Zhongxing Group, and it was best to move the research to Hong Kong and China. After Effie considered it, he felt that purchasing the research results and finding Yang Xing, the investor, was not a problem for the current research group, but it might be difficult to convince Professor Wen to move back to China, because Professor Wen is a pure scholar and is very satisfied with the research environment of California Institute of Technology. Caltech has the best physics research venue in the world, and the research level of laboratory equipment and personnel is temporarily incomparable in China. In addition, the relatively simple academic research atmosphere here is also a dogma of domestic schools and the academic environment that likes seniority.

Yang Xing's face turned dizzy after hearing this. Sure enough, the attractiveness of the relatively free and opportunity-filled research atmosphere in the United States is very attractive to scholars around the world. This problem cannot be solved even in his previous life more than ten years later. Many domestic technicians went to the United States. In addition to their generous living conditions, there is an environment suitable for their research. Since they cannot directly obtain the graphene research group at the California Institute of Technology, Yang Xing frowned and simply sought the next best. He asked Wang Yiren and others to go back to the California Institute of Technology with Effier tomorrow morning, and on behalf of Zhongxing Group, he explained to the California Institute of Technology that Zhongxing Group is willing to sponsor graphene research, but the corresponding research results and patent applications must be controlled by Zhongxing Group.

In addition, he immediately contacted Xingdou Research Institute and City University of China, intending to establish a joint research and development agency for graphene with California Institute of Technology. Since he could not take the project alone, he also had to share the benefits of the project. Although he didn't know why Yang Xing attached so much importance to Aifeier's research project, his years of experience with him made Wang Yiren and Guo Ying immediately act according to Yang Xing's arrangement without any doubt. They firmly believed that Yang Xing's personality of not getting up early must have discovered some big business opportunities, and their men have never disappointed in this regard.

Although the United States is still midnight, it is working hours in Hong Kong, so they had to accompany Yang Xing to hold a cross-border video conference with Hong Kong all night to implement Yang Xing's arrangements. While holding a meeting, Yang Xing thought about how to leave the most critical step in making graphene - the tape peeling method to Effier. He did not want to take the credit for this scientific research discovery, and wanted Effier to get this opportunity, so he and Effier chatted with him and asked her to help prepare tomorrow's clothes.

Yang Xing's coats are now expensive, handmade pure-wool suits, which look very classy, ​​but one big problem is that they are easy to absorb dust due to the static electricity, which is difficult to take care of. Yang Xing deliberately instructs Eiffel to use a roll of transparent tape to stick the dust on the suit, and at the same time, he asked intentionally and unintentionally: "It is still useful to stick dust. Do you think graphene is difficult to make thin. Can you use transparent tape to dip it like sticking dust? Just like peeling an onion, tearing the graphite sheets down layer by layer?"

After hearing his words, Effier laughed at it first, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was possible, and her eyes became brighter and brighter. She stared at the tape in her hand and looked over and over again, then suddenly screamed, which scared Wang Yiren and the others. She saw her hugging Yang Xing's neck, kissing him fiercely, and shouting incoherently: "I discovered, I discovered it! This is the method. You are really a genius, this method must be feasible. I will try it right away. If it really succeeds, I will name this method "Yang Ai stripping method."

Yang Xing pretended to be happy as Eiffel, and at the same time reminded her that it would be best to register a patent for this idea immediately. If Eiffel's method is successful, the development progress of the new graphene joint research institution will greatly surpass all its competitors, and Zhongxing Group will be able to take the lead in the competitors. After sending the cheerful Eiffel back to school, Wang Yiren, who had been watching this scene thoughtfully, couldn't help but catch Yang Xing and ask: "Did you really think of this idea? I always feel that you gave this great contribution to the little girl!" Yang Xing didn't say anything and hugged her back and smiled: "I don't have that ability. It's her ability to find inspiration from me. But you see, there are strong women, soldiers, spies and stars around me. Is it more perfect if there is another Nobel Prize scientist?"

Guo Ying leaned over and stretched out a finger to poke his forehead: "Don't think about it all, is this Nobel Prize so good? You see, our country hasn't produced any of them in recent years, and those who can win the prize are all old men." Yang Xing also stretched out his hand to put her slender waist: "You are wrong. In fact, many winners were young people under 30 years old at the beginning of the establishment of the Nobel Prize. When Nobel founded the grand prize in the 19th century, it was the time of a big explosion in scientific theory. Einstein was only 26 years old when he published his later paper on the photoelectric effect. But now with the refinement of the division of labor in science categories, young scientists have much smaller chances of winning the prize again."

"But our Miss Feier made a major discovery in physics this time when she was less than 20 years old. It would take at least ten years for the Nobel Prize to be awarded. It would not be surprising that she would receive the award at the age of 30. I have a premonition that this graphene may really win the Nobel Prize, and it will be of great benefit to her and the company's publicity at that time. I think we must seize the time. If this graphene is successful, it will not only help the company's scientific research strength, but also marks that we have mastered a core technology and must keep up with confidentiality work."

The second girl followed Yang Xing for a long time. Although she was a little strange about Yang Xing's confidence in winning the award, she did not ask much and handled the graphite development matters in a low-key manner as he ordered. At this time, Yang Xing said again: "I have been here in the United States for a while, and the country has urged me to go back and deal with the matter many times. The birthday gift I had originally given to Yiren Junben should be delivered next month, so I had to show you in advance today."

Everyone was a little sad when they heard that they were about to part with each other, but Wang Yiren and the others were also women who had been in many emotional entanglements. They understood that if the relationship lasted for a long time, they would not be around day and night. They had long known about the friendship between the men around them and did not care about material gifts. However, when they remembered Yang Xing's promise, they still had some expectations for Yang Xing's birthday gift.

In a small airport outside Cambridge City where Harvard University is located, with the huge roar of the turbofan engine, the figure of a crj official aircraft of a Canadian Bombardier Aircraft Company came into Yang Xing and the others' eyes. The big words "Yiren" written in cursive form on the white fuselage became more and more vivid. Seeing this belated gift, Wang Yiren said nothing, his hands holding Yang Xing tightly trembled slightly, showing her inner excitement.

After the plane stopped slowly, the cabin door opened, and three beauties wearing blue air uniforms, which set off their slim figures, walked down one after another. This was beyond Yang Xing's expectations. They tried their best to control their smiles and saluted them solemnly: "Everyone, the newly ordered plane has arrived safely. Captain Shi Meiheng, intern pilot Li Qisi, and Xiao Qin reported to you!"
