Kamikyo is located in an apartment building near Mizuki University.

An old man was sitting on a couch reading an English magazine in his hand.

Halfway through it, he suddenly smiled, put down the magazine in his hand, and said, "This kid is a talent." ”

This old man with glasses is none other than Qiu Chengtong, the world's leading Chinese mathematician, Mr. Qiu.

The magazine he held in his hand was none other than the English edition of Nature Weekly. And in the page that was opened, it was the British female journalist Belinda, who interviewed the intern named Lu Zhou.

In the interview, the magazine mentioned the identity of the interviewee, a master's student at Jinling University, as well as his opinion on the signals in the 750GeV energy region.

As Academician Gao, the head of the Chinese cooperation group of the LHCb project, said before, this intern helped the Chinese cooperation group, which originally had no sense of existence, to compete for a breath on the international stage of CERN.

It is believed that it will not be long before this young scholar who appeared in the "Nature Weekly" will be covered with an overwhelming number of reports in China.

And these glories are all he deserves.

"yes."

The old man sitting opposite Mr. Qiu sighed softly while drinking tea.

This is none other than Academician Wang Xiping, who Lu Zhou had a relationship with at Princeton.

Although the relationship between Mr. Qiu and Yanda is very poor, to the extent that they even bombard each other in the media and turn their heads against each other, Mr. Qiu still has a few good personal friends in Yanda.

For example, Academician Wang Xiping is one of them.

After a pause, Mr. Wang continued to sigh: "After the academic conference in Princeton, I originally thought that this kid's ability was in number theory, but I didn't expect him to have such a high talent in the field of high-energy physics. I have seen many young and promising scholars, but I have really not seen many of them in this kind of all-rounder. ”

Qiu Chengtong smiled and said, "I've seen one." ”

"Who?"

"Tao Xuanzhe!"

Wang Xiping was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Do you have such a high opinion of him?" ”

Tao Xuanzhe, the first Australian to win the Fields Medal and the second Chinese to receive this honor after Chiu Chengtong in '82, is now teaching at the University of California, Los Angeles, and is recognized as a genius in the field of mathematics, and an amazing all-rounder.

Although he did not study in the field of physics, his research style covered almost all areas of mathematics, from harmonic analysis to nonlinear partial differential equations, and even his research spread from the field of pure numbers to the field of corresponding numbers, such as the principle of compression sensing in cameras.

Many people refer to him as the Mozart of mathematics, because there is no better reason than genius to explain why so many achievements can occur in a mortal.

Although many people in the domestic mathematics community have commented on this Lu Zhou, calling him "Little Tao Xuanzhe", but after all, he still has a "small" word. In Wang Xiping's opinion, the evaluation of old friends is still too exaggerated.

Mr. Qiu smiled and said, "Is it highly evaluated?" I even think that he has every hope of surpassing his predecessors! ”

Hearing that this old friend's evaluation of that young man was so high, Wang Xiping was secretly surprised in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "Are you serious?" ”

"Of course," Mr. Qiu nodded, "I actually had this premonition when I saw that he chose the Polygnac conjecture as the research topic for Baqing. And now that I'm reading this report, I'm even more sure of that. ”

Wang Xiping smiled and asked, "Do you think he can solve this problem?" ”

"It's hard to say, he even solved the twin prime conjecture, if it weren't for the lack of energy, and number theory is outside the scope of my research, I would like to try to challenge this problem," Mr. Qiu sighed, suddenly rolled his eyes, looked at his old friend and said with a smile, "Or, let's make a bet?" ”

Wang Xiping smiled and asked, "What are you betting on?" ”

"I'm betting he'll be able to solve this conjecture in two years."

"Unrealistic." Wang Xiping shook his head, "I know you have a high opinion of him, but his current research direction is not number theory, but mathematical physics. If he had devoted himself to number theory, it would have been possible to complete this task...... But looking at it now, two years is still too short! ”

Mr. Qiu shook his head: "The research direction is not a problem, interest is the best teacher, in my opinion, he has the talent to complete this work." Since we have opposite opinions, do you want to take a gamble? ”

Wang Xiping patted his thigh and said with a smile: "Okay, then bet!" I'll pay a hundred yuan, and I won't lose if I lose anyway. ”

Mr. Qiu scolded with a smile: "You old thing, you haven't started gambling yet, you want to lose." I won't bet with you, it's boring! ”

……

"Ahh

After sneezing, Lu Zhou rubbed his nose and muttered "Who is scolding me", and continued to write.

Academician Lu's class schedule, he has already read it.

However, it is still in the summer vacation, and the most recent class is next month, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being.

These days, Lu Zhou has hardly ever left the door of the dormitory, and has been locking himself in the dormitory, racking his brains to design experiments against the data in the computer.

In order to design the PDMS film, he had to consult a large amount of literature and come up with experimental ideas based on it.

The reason for his focus is, of course, money.

Guarding a large gold mine, he really couldn't sleep well if he didn't get something down from it.

As for describing this technology as a gold mine, it is not an exaggeration at all, and even underestimates its value.

As early as 20 years ago, lithium metal was abandoned by the industry as an anode, because of the short circuit problem caused by dendrite growth, the battery turned into a burning/burning bomb, "blowing up" a listed company with a market value of 10 billion.

However, the strong market prospect of lithium metal still attracts countless materials science laboratories to rush into this topic.

At the enterprise level, IBM has even prepared a supercomputer for the lithium-air battery project, assigning and calculating the path of each gas molecule into the battery cell to avoid gas clogging problems...... Although it was later found to be a bottomless pit, it was cut down mercilessly by the capitalists.

At the national level, for example, the energy minister in the Australian Bama team, Mr. Steven Chu, a Chinese-American who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in '97, was an ardent supporter of lithium anode batteries for a while...... Although in the end, he was persuaded by a group of people.

As for why lithium batteries have such fascinating magic, we have to mention the concept of energy density.

The so-called energy density is the amount of energy contained in a unit volume. As the most important indicator to measure the performance of a battery, improving energy density has always been the pursuit of the industry.

Even in China's 13th Five-Year Plan, it has made a clear plan to synchronize the technical level of power batteries with the international level in 2020, and maintain the world's leading production capacity. One of the core red lines is to increase the energy density of power batteries to 300-350h/kg.

At present, the lithium-sulfur battery that is still in the laboratory is the most likely to come out on top.

But if the problem of lithium dendrites is solved, all those hyped concepts will have to step aside and make way for lithium anode batteries.

Anyone who has studied chemistry knows that first of all, the lithium metal anode has the lowest electrochemical potential of -3.04V, not to mention a specific capacity of up to 3,861mAh/g.

Using lithium material as the anode, the energy storage effect can theoretically reach ten times that of the graphite battery, and the energy density of the graphite anode material can be rolled in all directions!

And the most attractive thing is that once the problem of lithium dendrite growth is solved, there is no need to make major design changes to the existing battery, even if the existing common graphite anode material is directly replaced, the energy density of the battery can be greatly improved!
