On the other side, far away in New York State, Binghamton University's Institute of Materials.

In a soundproofed conference room, Professor Stanley, who had taken a break from the organic symposium early, was standing with his assistant and representatives from business such as Darren Woods, gathered around an open laptop.

And the image displayed in the computer is the cage-shaped carbon molecule......

"It seems that my worries are right, I know this guy is not simple! His research is not just two papers published in Science! ”

Staring at the data and images on the computer screen, Professor Stanley muttered to himself, his tone full of excitement and excitement.

If scientific research is compared to an exam, then what is presented in front of him is almost equivalent to the answer to the last big question!

Now, he just needs to get ahead of everyone else and use experimental methods to make up for the "problem-solving process......

He is the director of the institute, and he can even mobilize the entire institute's formal and informal fellows to work on his project, provided that Mobil Chemical can afford it.

With the size of Binghamton University's Institute of Materials Research, it is easy to crush small and medium-sized research institutions such as the Sarot Institute in terms of scientific research labor resources.

Standing next to Professor Stanley, his assistant had the same shocked expression on his face, and muttered in an exclamatory tone, "Unbelievable...... Is it still possible to calculate the spatial structure of such macromolecules mathematically? And to such an extent of accuracy, it is simply unheard of! ”

Modeling through mathematical methods and computational analysis through supercomputing exists, and this kind of simulation experiment based on computer technology exists. In fact, more than 80% of the papers on the birth of the nuclear weapon "Anton" in the field of computational chemistry are like this.

However, even "Anton" could not have done this with the simulation.

Professor Stanley's face was serious, and although he didn't answer the question, the expression on his face had already shocked his heart. The dew is gone.

The so-called existence is reasonable.

Even if he didn't want to believe it, the facts were in front of him now.

HCS-1 materials have shown a good side in inhibiting the diffusion of polysulfide compounds into the electrolyte.

Having been staring at the computer screen, Woods frowned slightly and asked out loud, "Do you see what's coming?" ”

As an entrepreneur, he doesn't care who this historic honor belongs to, he only cares about the most fundamental patents.

In order to poach these five experimental assistants from Lu Zhou, ExxonMobil also spent a certain price.

Although the two million dollars are nothing to Mobil Chemical, it depends on where the money is spent and whether it is worth it.

Hearing Woods' inquiry, Professor Stanley's lips curled into a confident smile.

"This is a cage-like carbon molecular model, and the HCS-1 material is morphologically similar, but it lacks a few key π bonds, large π bonds, and carbon atoms. According to my speculation, the HCS-1 material is most likely a by-product of their search for this cage-like carbon molecule. ”

"If nothing else, it should be the key to solving the problem of lithium-sulfur battery technology!"

That makes sense.

Otherwise, Professor Stanley could not understand the reason for Lu Zhou's paper in Science to add expensive fullerene materials and carbon nanotubes to the reactor to coheat and screen out the HCS-1 material from a pile of "useless" carbon slag.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile.

Who would have thought that the HCS-1 material proposed in that paper was nothing more than a by-product of a failed attempt, born from experimental waste. No wonder that Lu Zhou was so confident in publishing that phase of the results, and indifferent to the progress of their research.

If you don't know these unpublished experimental data, especially the cage-like carbon molecular model, just by looking at the two papers published in Science, how can you see what they are really studying?

Thinking of this, Professor Stanley no longer hesitated, looked at his assistant and immediately ordered.

"We're already behind them, but luckily it's not too far behind."

"Communicate the experimental teams, immediately adjust the research direction, and from now on, make every effort to overcome the technical problems of cage carbon molecules, and solve a series of problems from product preparation to physicochemical property analysis!"

"In addition, we will recruit twenty more intern researchers, and we must get ahead of them and complete this work!"

"Move fast!"

"Understood!" The assistant standing next to him immediately nodded and trotted out of the conference room.

Seeing Professor Stanley so motivated, the corners of Woods' mouth also hooked up a smile of victory.

"Mobil Chemical is committed to supporting your research to the fullest extent possible, and we wish you every success!"

Professor Stanley reached out and shook Woods' hand, a smile on his face that was also in his hands.

"Thank you so much! Also, it's an honor to work with you! ”

……

I have to say that Professor Stanley is indeed very strategic.

Through this limited information, he has analyzed Lu Zhou's intentions.

The only fly in the ointment, however, is that he seems to have ignored another possibility.

That's the Sarot Institute, and it's not really about lithium-sulfur batteries, it's something completely different......

When the meeting was over, the door to the soundproof conference room opened, and Woods walked out with his secretary.

At this moment, the man who was sitting on the sofa outside the conference room with a worried face immediately stood up and greeted him in his direction.

The man with a worried face was Ricardo, the man who made Old Man Sa furious.

It's just that at this moment, the expression on his face is not as relaxed as when he just hugged Professor Stanley and ExxonMobil's thighs.

Because just now, he received a summons from the court.

Star Technology, the parent company of the Salrot Institute, is ready to sue him under a non-compete agreement and a non-disclosure contract he signed when he joined him.

Not only that, but compared to the other four colleagues who also left, he has one more crime.

That's commercial espionage.

Compared to his four colleagues, the charge against him was much greater.

Although federal labor law tends to protect workers' rights, if the company's evidence is convincing enough, he will not only face a hefty fine, but may even be sent to prison.

It is precisely because of this that Ricardo panicked.

Looking at Woods as he walked out of the conference room, he stepped forward and pleaded as if he had grasped the last straw.

"You said you would help me solve the lawsuit, right?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Ricardo, of course we'll settle the case for you, and the information you've brought will come in handy."

Woods' smile was as bright as the spring sun.

Ricardo's indictment is probably the second piece of good news he hears today.

This shows that their opponents are angry, and it also shows that their intelligence is valuable.

As for just a lawsuit, for them ExxonMobil, it is not a problem at all......
