Chapter 344: Publication of the Paper

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

What's even funnier is that after this remark was made, his Twitter account was restricted......

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

There are no more strange things on the Internet such as Pang Xuelin stealing the research results of Kirton Walker.

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

……

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

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

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

Originally, Jiang University was also going to build a small building for Pang Xuelin on campus, but Pang Xuelin politely refused, and he was ready to move back to the villa that his mother prepared for him in Binjiang.

After all, whether it is the Qiantang Laboratory or the work of the Golden Dragon Group, he will spend less and less time in Jiangda.

And from Binjiang to the carbon nanomaterials research center on the Yuquan campus, it is not that far.

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

In addition, the government has also specially equipped Pang Xuelin with nannies and other domestic service personnel.

……

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

Previously, when the Golden Dragon battery project was launched, Pang Xuelin had already agreed with Corton Walker that due to confidentiality reasons, some scientific research results could not be directly published in the form of papers, and those that could be published should also be directly published in the Journal of Jiangcheng University after review.

As for whether these papers will be leaked.

Pang Xuelin is not worried.

From the thesis to the practical application, there is a gap of 108,000 miles.

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

First of all, what needs to be kept secret is usually technology, not knowledge.

Publishing papers is more about showing new knowledge and perspectives to peers and allowing peers to review.

For example, the principle of the manufacture of the atomic bomb does not need to be kept secret, and the relevant principles have long been written into the textbooks, and what really needs to be kept secret is actually some technical details, such as how to obtain high-purity U235.

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

Therefore, we often say that we are lagging behind the world in such and such technology, but not that we are inferior to others in such and such principles.

Of course, in addition to putting forward new ideas and knowledge, there are also new technologies and methods that are presented in scientific papers.

For example, a new polymerization method has been discovered: active polymerization.

This new polymerization method can easily control the morphological structure of polymers.

It stands to reason that this is a very significant technological breakthrough, and once industrialized, it can create very large economic value.

This is precisely where the problem lies, and that is to "industrialize".

These discoveries are laboratory-scale, far from being practical, and for the time being, there is still a need for continuous experimentation, expanding their applications, and improving their conditions in order to make them practical one day.

In this sense, the new technology in the laboratory is like a young shoot, and it will take a long time before the flower bears fruit.

So, you can publish a paper and have your peers all over the world review it, so that they can work together to water and fertilize this shoot and help it spread its leaves.

When it really blossoms, everyone will remember that you were the one who nurtured this sprout in the first place, and you will be famous.

Even if you want to keep it a secret, it is still at the stage of picking the fruit, and you can quickly hide the fruit from this tree and enjoy it secretly by yourself.

Here, it should be noted that most papers are often criticized as garbage papers and meaningless.

Actually, as long as the data is true and credible, any paper is meaningful.

For a field, it takes a lot of data accumulation to breed a major technological breakthrough.

If the water is not thick, then its negative boat is also weak!

The flash of genius of scientific breakthrough is important, but the countless scientific research workers behind the sweat are equally important.

Their work may be inconspicuous, but it adds up, and it is the quantitative change they produce that can trigger the qualitative change in research in a certain field.

The more than ten papers published by the Golden Dragon Battery team in the Journal of Jiangcheng University directly sold out of this issue of the Journal of Jiangcheng University.

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

From these papers, scholars in the field of lithium batteries around the world have finally understood the technical route of King Long battery.

It's just that the first one, the large-size single-layer graphene film technology, has made the vast majority of people think of lithium-air batteries in a short period of time.

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

This is the only one, and there is no semicolon.

Not to mention, put this technology into industrial production.

You must know that even in the Dark Forest World and the Wandering Earth World, 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 develop.

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

Even if the U.S. government wanted to do that, the top bigwigs in academia wouldn't.

If you have more money in this area, won't my funds be greatly reduced?

Whether at home or abroad, there is little disgrace in the academic circle due to scientific research funding.

Of course, in the next ten years, countries will make large-scale investments in the field of lithium-air batteries, which must be indispensable.

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

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

If it weren't for that, even if the funds for him were increased tenfold and hundredfold, he would not be able to make a Golden Dragon battery.
