Eight o'clock in the morning.

Lu Zhou, who stayed up all night to compile the research results into a thesis, went to the laboratory with a yawn and handed over the research results of the past five days to Senior Brother Qian.

And then......

"It can't be!" Slapping the paper on the table, Senior Brother Qian categorically vetoed, "The strengthening mechanism of CNTs materials to cement materials is to provide a nucleation matrix for the nucleation of hydration products, reduce the nucleation barrier, and make hydration products easy to form!" ”

"You studied it for a day and told me it didn't matter? How can it be that it has no effect on the hydration reaction at an early age! Have you read the literature I gave you? ”

"There's no doubt that something must have gone wrong with your calculations, because it's not physical!"

"But it's very mathematical," Lu Zhou was immediately unhappy when he heard that the fruits of his labor had been ruthlessly denied, and he insisted on sleepiness, arguing with reason, "I don't know if you have noticed, the FTIR chart of sample No. 4, at the age of 8~12h, the migration rate of the characteristic peaks of the CNTs-doped sample and the blank sample at 800~1025cm^-1 is basically the same!" What does this mean? ”

He was confident that his calculations would not be wrong.

What's more, after discovering this problem, he recalculated it at least three times!

Lu Zhou's tough attitude made Qian Zhongming slightly stunned, and his stubborn attitude softened a little because of hesitation.

After staring at the chart for a long time, he pinched his chin and fell into deep thought.

The argument between the two attracted Liu Bo, who was sitting next to him for sample analysis.

After asking the reason for the argument, Senior Brother Liu stared at a few sheets of A4 paper on the table, and an intriguing expression appeared on his face.

"CNTs have no effect on the hydration reaction of Polante cement at an early age? It's really incredible. If this conclusion is correct, it could even be published as a separate research result. ”

"I think so too, it's unbelievable," Senior Brother Qian nodded in agreement, and then shook his head again, "From the perspective of molecular dynamics, this is impossible, the highly delocalized large π bonds on the side of carbon nanotubes will inevitably interfere with the polymerization process of silicon-oxygen tetrahedron......

Senior Brother Liu raised a counterargument: "But this is only one of many schools of thought, maybe it is not correct, or there is an omission......

Looking at the two people who were caught in the discussion, Lu Zhou didn't speak, and he couldn't interject, because he couldn't understand what the two of them were discussing at all.

The interlacing is like a mountain, as if he were talking about the optimal inversion theory of linear functionals, and the two of them listened to it with the same bewildered and confused expression.

Looking at the two people who were discussing, Lu Zhou couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Sure enough, I still have to improve my knowledge.

To enter the truly cutting-edge field of scientific research, a mathematics degree may not be enough......

Otherwise, when the system really gives him a black technology drawing, I'm afraid that he will also be blind and can't touch the door.

In fact, if Lu Zhou has some understanding of material physics, he will know that the international academic community does not have a "clear conclusion" on the strengthening mechanism of carbon nanotubes on composite materials.

Although the appropriate addition of carbon nanotubes to the material can improve the strength of the material, it has been proven in many fields. For example, the most typical use of laser alloying and post-quenching process to synthesize carbon nanotubes/4# steel, the hardness of the composite material can reach HRC69......

However, how carbon nanotubes do this is currently only a theoretical conjecture based on macroscopic phenomena. Therefore, if you see different explanations in different textbooks, you must not feel strange, because there is no "conclusive conclusion" in this thing itself.

What Brother Qian said is one of the mainstream conjectures about the strengthening mechanism of carbon nanotubes on cement materials.

As to whether this conjecture is correct, or whether it can be applied to this subject......

To be honest, he didn't delve into it himself, but directly used it as a conclusion.

If Lu Zhou's calculations are correct, it will undoubtedly provide a strong counterexample to falsify this conjecture.

But this is so unexpected and ridiculous!

After a long while, Senior Brother Qian and Senior Brother Liu seemed to have reached a consensus and looked at Lu Zhou.

After a moment of silence, Qian Zhongming spoke.

"I can't give you an answer right away...... I need to experiment. ”

"If your calculations are correct."

"This will be a major discovery!"

Lu Zhou immediately asked, "How big is it?" ”

Liu Bo smiled and said: "I can't say how important it is, but it is still of considerable significance to the field of carbon nanotube material research, at least it can save latecomers a lot of detours." Of course, if you want to talk about academic value, it will definitely not compare to the problem of the world that you proved. ”

Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly and said modestly: "That's all false." ”

"What you said, academic things are only divided into yes or no, what is not false," Liu Bo shook his head with a smile, paused for a moment, and continued, "As our Senior Brother Qian said, this thing still needs to be experimentally demonstrated, and I can't give you an exact answer if it is not proved by experiments." Also, can I be cheeky enough to ask you for something? ”

Lu Zhou asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Qian Zhongming coughed dryly, and said embarrassedly: "Regarding this mathematical proof of yours, can we wait until the end of our project before publishing?" Because it's not just us doing research in this area, as far as we know, we are also doing ......."

Publishing the results of this research now is tantamount to clearing the obstacle to the end of the line for the opponent, and maybe someone else has also entered this dead end?

This possibility is still very high!

Although this is a bit unkind, it is related to whether the scientific research funds and most of the year's efforts are in vain, and even Qian Zhongming, who is not good at words, has to be cheeky to make this request.

"I thought it was the matter, that's it, it's easy to say," Lu Zhou smiled and said nonchalantly.

To be able to find this conclusion, there are many unexpected elements. And if it weren't for the experimental data provided by Senior Brother Qian and Senior Brother Liu as support, he would not have been able to write a lot of formulas out of thin air, let alone discover this unexpected conclusion.

According to the usual practice, the names of the two senior brothers can also be listed in the position of the second and third works.

For the second and third works of the paper, their opinions should still be referred to.

It's as much a matter of politeness as it is a matter of discipline.

Qian Zhongming: "At the end of next month at the latest, at the end of this month!" I promise that the results will be available, and you will have no problem publishing this paper when the time comes. ”

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry for a while, just notify me when the time comes." ”

In fact, Lu Zhou still needs to take a little risk, after all, if someone comes to the same conclusion at this time and takes the lead in publishing the paper, then the results of his five consecutive days of continuous struggle will be in vain.

However, everything is based on the overall situation.

And this is very unlikely......

The stakes were very high, and Qian Zhongming immediately called Professor Li Rongen.

Professor Li didn't say anything on the phone, but asked Qian Zhongming to take the first draft of Lu Zhou's paper and a few samples in the laboratory of the new campus and immediately go to the laboratory of the old campus.

If Lu Zhou's mathematical conclusions are correct, then it is clear that their experiments have gone wrong.

However, it's not too late to correct it!
