Chapter 298: The show starts

When Xu Xincheng received a call from Pang Xuelin, he was obviously taken aback.

He never thought that Pang Xuelin would be able to turn a big bull in the electrochemistry world back for Jiang Da after a trip to China.

Although Kirton Walker has been obsessed with the research of lithium-air batteries in recent years and has fallen silent in the academic community, he is eligible for the Nobel Prize based on the few achievements he made in his early years, but he needs to queue up to live longer than anyone.

Half an hour later, Xu Xincheng and Li Xiang, dean of the School of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering of Jiangxi University, hurried over.

After everyone greeted each other, at the invitation of Xu Xincheng, a reception banquet was set for Curton Walker to discuss the next matter of Curton Walker's entry into Jiangda.

After lunch, Li Xiang found several teachers from the School of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering and asked them to help Kirton Walker with various procedures.

After all, Kirton Walker came to Jiangxi University this time relatively suddenly, and the visa alone required to transfer the L (tourism) visa to the R visa, and in addition, all aspects of life and work needed to be arranged.

Waiting for Kirton Walker to leave, Li Xiang on the side frowned and said, "Professor Pang, I just heard Professor Walker say that the reason why he is willing to come to Jiangda is because you are willing to help him raise R&D funds in the field of lithium-air batteries?" ”

Pang Xuelin smiled and nodded.

Xu Xincheng said curiously: "Lao Li, is there any problem here?" ”

Li Xiang said with a strange face: "A few years ago, Kirton Walker also went to DuPont with a concept, and DuPont invested more than 10 million US dollars in him, plus the millions of dollars he raised himself, a full 20 million US dollars. As a result, so much money was thrown down, and the splash couldn't be splashed. ”

Xu Xincheng couldn't help but gasp.

20 million US dollars, nearly 140 million yuan.

In order to engage in high-purity single-walled carbon nanotubes and large-size single-layer graphene materials, Jiang Da only raised tens of millions of funds for him.

Moreover, this is still the case that Pang Xuelin's projects are very feasible, and the remaining funding gap must also be solved by Pang Xuelin himself.

And after Corton Walker lost more than 100 million yuan in funding, Pang Xuelin even promised the other party to do research in this field.

Although Kirton Walker's level is indeed high, with the scientific research funds that Jiang University receives every year, he can't bear Walker's failure.

Pang Xuelin naturally saw Xu Xincheng's hesitation, and said with a smile: "President Xu, Walker's research funds in the field of lithium-air batteries, I will solve it for him, and there is no need to allocate funds from Jiang University, you just need to set up the corresponding laboratory and team for him." As for his usual teaching work, the school can also arrange it on its own. ”

Xu Xincheng was slightly stunned, and said suspiciously: "Professor Pang, are you really optimistic about Kirton Walker's research in the field of lithium-air batteries?" ”

Pang Xuelin smiled faintly and nodded.

As long as the large-size single-layer graphene film material is done, it is only one step away from the real lithium-air battery, and he is of course optimistic.

Xu Xincheng hesitated.

Pang Xuelin has made achievements in the fields of high-purity single-walled carbon nanotubes and large-size single-layer graphene.

In particular, it is said that Xinkai Materials Co., Ltd. is preparing for mass production of high-purity single-walled carbon nanotube materials, and it will be ready for mass production at the beginning of next year.

At present, many people in the industry have set their sights on this project, and even many units and companies have placed orders with Xinkai Materials in advance.

Once the mass production is successful, Xinkai Materials will get a golden egg that can continue to lay chickens in the future, and Jiangcheng University will also get a lot of income because of its participation in this project.

Now, Pang Xuelin has set his sights on the field of lithium-air batteries, which everyone is not optimistic about.

The risks involved are too great.

Xu Xincheng hesitated for a long time before he sighed and chose to give up.

Pang Xuelin smiled slightly, it was best for Xu Xincheng to take the initiative to give up, even if Jiang University was willing to support him financially, he was not willing to share too many benefits in the lithium air battery.

After all, the stakes involved in this battery are simply too large.

In the afternoon of the same day, Pang Xuelin was interviewed by Dong Qing in a reception room of the School of Materials Engineering.

The following week passed without incident.

Dong Qing and his filming team returned to Beijing directly after completing the shooting task.

According to Dong Qing, the show can be seen on the air next weekend.

Kirton Walker has also successfully joined Jiang University, and even with the help of his assistant, he has begun to form his own research team.

On the weekend, Yao Bingxia flew in from the capital.

The two hadn't seen each other for more than a month, and they took advantage of the weekend to get tired of Pang Xuelin's apartment for two days.

On Sunday night, Pang Xuelin took Yao Bingxia back to his grandparents' house, had dinner together, and watched his interview with his family by the way.

Dong Qing came with news that Pang Xuelin's personal interview would be broadcast on the "Face to Face" column at half past nine in the evening.

At the same time, that night's "Oriental Time and Space" will also broadcast Pang Xuelin's special program, the specific content of which is the material cut out by Dong Qing and Pang Xuelin in those two days.

Pang Xuelin knows that the high-level is building momentum for the next national highest science and technology award, after all, he is still young in the academic world, and he needs to let the media and the public have a further understanding of himself.

After eating, Yao Bingxia and Pang Xuelin were tired on the sofa, and the old man and his wife Yao and grandparents also sat down in the living room, waiting for the show to start.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the "Oriental Time and Space" column officially began.

"Good evening, audience friends, welcome to tonight's Oriental Time and Space."

"In today's program, we will introduce you to a young scholar."

"He is the youngest professor of mathematics in the history of Jiangcheng University, the youngest ICCM double award winner in history, and the youngest Cole Algebra Prize winner in the history of the American Mathematical Society."

His achievements have been widely praised by the international mathematical community, such as Ponzi geometry theory, BSD conjecture, ABC conjecture, twin prime conjecture, Polygnac conjecture, and solving nonlinear partial differential equations...... These achievements are propapsing him step by step to the throne of mathematics in the 21st century. ”

Professor Pierre Deligne, an internationally renowned mathematician, said that he was the greatest mathematician of the 21st century, and probably one of the greatest mathematicians in history! His work will have a profound impact on the direction of mathematics for hundreds of years to come! ”

"And he's just turned twenty-four!"

"Next, please follow our column group and walk into the work and life of Dr. Pang Xuelin, a famous mathematician in China, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and a professor of the Department of Mathematics of Jiangcheng University."
