The Science Fiction World of Xueba

Kirton Walker's statement raised his Weibo followers from zero to more than one million in just one day.

What's even more funny is that after these remarks were sent out, his Twitter account was restricted...

However, his statement also ended the war of words between Pang Xuelin and Te Mopu.

People on the Internet no longer say that Pang Xuelin stole the research results of Cotton Walker.

Even the Stanford doctor Tian Hong took the initiative to publicly apologize to Pang Xuelin and Cotton Walker in his Zhihu column.

...

In the past two days, Pang Xuelin has been busy moving to a new house.

If Pang Xuelin was only a top mathematician and chemist before the appearance of Jinlong battery, then his status has gone far beyond the level of ordinary scientists and has risen to the strategic level.

Therefore, no matter in terms of security or other aspects, he is no longer suitable to live in his small apartment in Jiangda.

Originally, Jiang University planned to build a small building for Pang Xuelin on campus, but Pang Xuelin declined, and he planned to move back to the villa his mother prepared for him in Binjiang.

After all, no matter whether it is the work of Qiantang Laboratory or Jinlong Group, he will spend less and less time in Jiangda University.

Moreover, it is not too far from Binjiang to the Carbon Nanomaterials Research Center on Yuquan Campus.

Of course, both Zhou Chen and Zuo Yiqiu will live with Pang Xuelin.

In addition, the government has specially equipped Pang Xuelin with domestic service personnel such as nannies.

...

During this period of time, another major event that caused a sensation in the entire academic circle was that more than a dozen papers related to Jinlong batteries were finally published in the "Journal of Jiangcheng University".

When launching the Golden Dragon battery project, Pang Xuelin had already made an agreement with Cotton Walker and the others. Due to confidentiality reasons, some scientific research results cannot be published directly in the form of papers. Those that can be published must be reviewed and published directly on "Journal of Jiangcheng University".

As for whether these papers will be leaked.

Pang Xuelin was not worried.

From the thesis to the practical application, there are thousands of miles between them.

In fact, for most scientific research papers, there is no need to worry about leaks.

First, it is often technology, not knowledge, that needs to be kept secret.

Publishing papers is more about showing new knowledge and viewpoints to peers and allowing them to comment.

For example, the manufacturing principle of the atomic bomb does not need to be kept secret. The relevant principles have already been written in textbooks. What really needs to be kept secret are actually some technical details, for example, how to obtain high-purity U235.

Like chip manufacturing, everyone knows the relevant principles and processes, but to really make high-performance chips, you must have supporting technologies and equipment, such as an advanced lithography machine.

Therefore, we often say that our so-and-so technology lags behind the world, not that we are inferior to others in such-and-such principles.

Of course, in addition to proposing new viewpoints and knowledge, scientific papers also present new technologies and methods.

For example, a new polymerization method was discovered: living polymerization.

This new polymerization method can conveniently control the morphology and structure of polymers.

It is reasonable to say that it is a very important technological breakthrough. Once industrialized, it can create very huge economic value.

The problem also lies precisely in this, that is to "industrialize".

These discoveries are all on a laboratory scale, and there is still a very long distance from practicality. For now, it is still necessary to continue experiments, expand its application, and improve its conditions in the hope that it will be practical one day.

In this sense, the new technology in the laboratory is like a bud, and there is still a long time before it can bear fruit.

Therefore, you can publish a paper and let colleagues from all over the world come to review it, and let them water and fertilize this young shoot together, helping it to spread its branches and leaves.

When it really blossoms and bears fruit, everyone will remember that you were the one who first cultivated this bud, and you will be successful.

Even if you want to keep it secret, it is still in the stage of picking the fruit. If you pick a fruit from the tree, you can hide it quickly and enjoy it secretly.

Here, it needs to be explained that most of the papers are often criticized as rubbish papers and meaningless.

In fact, as long as the data is authentic and credible, any paper is meaningful.

For a field, a large amount of data accumulation is needed to breed a major technological breakthrough.

If the accumulation of water is not thick, it will be weak to carry the big boat!

The flashes of inspiration from geniuses who make scientific breakthroughs are important, but so are the countless scientific research migrant workers who are silently sweating behind them.

Their work may be inconspicuous, but it is the quantitative changes they produce that can lead to qualitative changes in research in a certain field.

The more than ten papers published by the Jinlong battery team in the "Journal of Jiangcheng University" directly made this issue of "Journal of Jiangcheng University" sell out.

Numerous scientific research institutions at home and abroad are trying their best to get this issue of the Journal.

From these papers, scholars in the global lithium battery field finally understand the technical route of Jinlong battery.

Just the first one, the large-size single-layer graphene film technology, makes most people stop thinking about making lithium-air batteries in a short time.

At present, there are many laboratories in the world that can prepare graphene thin films, but the only scientific research institution that can produce large-scale single-layer graphene is the Carbon Nano Research Center of Jiangcheng University.

This is the only one, there is no semicolon.

Not to mention, put this technology into industrial production.

You must know that even in the world of Dark Forest and Wandering Earth, this is the result of gathering hundreds of the world's top mathematicians, chemists, and physicists and hundreds of billions of dollars in funding, and it took several years to come up with the results.

In the real world, including the United States, no country has the ability to gather such a powerful scientific research force to make breakthroughs in a single field.

Even if the U.S. government wants to do this, the top leaders in academia are not willing.

If you have more funding for this piece, won't my funding be greatly reduced?

Regardless of whether at home or abroad, there are no shortage of discord in academic circles because of research funding.

Of course, in the next decade or so, countries will make large-scale investment in the field of lithium-air batteries, which will definitely be indispensable.

But it is impossible to reach the level of Dark Forest World and Wandering Earth World.

Pang Xuelin's success is only because he was in those science fiction worlds, and thousands of scientists and engineers paved the way for him to lead to lithium-air batteries.

If it wasn't for this, even if he was given ten times and a hundred times more funding, he still wouldn't be able to produce the Golden Dragon battery.
