Chapter 100: Conclusion!
When he received the call from Professor Li Rongen, Lu Zhou was eating noodles in the cafeteria, and his mind was still thinking about the literature on the theoretical calculation of graphene's semi-electron mobility that he had just read from the journal Materials Science and Engineering.
"Ahem, classmate Lu Zhou."
"What's the matter?"
"Your paper, it's ready to be published."
"Uh-oh."
"I mean, our project has officially submitted a final report and sent it to the higher department to apply for completion!"
ββ¦β¦οΌοΌβ
Finally coming back to his senses, Lu Zhou suddenly stammered and stood up from his chair, startling the couple who were sitting at the adjacent table eating.
Taking a deep breath, holding the mobile phone in his changed hand, Lu Zhou asked in an excited and trembling tone, "We...... It worked!? β
Professor Li Rongen smiled and repeated in an affirmative tone: "Yes! You heard it right! We did it! β
Coming back to his senses, Lu Zhou quickly asked, "What is the ratio?" β
"0.47wt%, your guess is exactly right! The optimal ratio of CNTs to Portland cement is indeed between 0.4 and 0.5 smaller, rather than above 1wt%, and we make a mistake that is the result of empiricism and inertial thinking, which could have been avoided. Professor Li Rongen sighed.
"Professor Li, can you send me a paper on the content ratio of CNTs?" Lu Zhou asked.
"Of course, I've already sent you an email." Professor Li Rongen said with a smile.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou solved the noodles in the bowl in a minute and quickly rushed to the library.
Sitting down in his place, opening the computer and logging in to the mailbox, Lu Zhou downloaded the paper in pdf format, quickly opened it and found the line about proportioning.
ββ¦β¦ When the content of CNTs is 0.5wt%, the compressive strength and tensile strength of Portland cement are increased by 47.1% and 34.2%, respectively. β
At this point, with the last technical difficulty overcome, the whole project can finally be regarded as a successful conclusion.
Not only about the ratio of CNTs materials and cement-based materials, but also about the surface functional modification of CNTs materials, and even the design of production processes, etc., are included in this big topic, but these parts of Lu Zhou are not involved.
With the end of the entire research project, the project team led by Professor Li Rongen can produce at least five papers and two technical patents.
If Lu Zhou is not mistaken, in addition to the support of the National Ministry of Engineering and Materials Science Fund and the Provincial Department of Science and Technology Project Fund, this project also has the investment of Zhongshan New Materials, a listed company.
At that time, Professor Li should split the project into two parts and submit two final reports, one for the vertical project and the other for the horizontal project.
In addition to the published papers, the ownership of the two patents should belong to Zhongshan New Materials.
The next work is to submit the final materials, receive the scientific research fund statement, reimburse the balance of the project research, and wait for the feedback after the review by the project department......
However, these cumbersome and complicated things don't need Lu Zhou to worry about, and there are special people in the laboratory who are responsible for running this part.
Leaning back in his chair, Lu Zhou let out a sigh of relief.
This subject, which haunted him, finally came to an end at this moment.
In addition to infinite emotion, his heart was inexplicably a little lost.
It's as if a big stone that weighs on my heart has been removed, but the original place is empty.
Looking at the paper again, Lu Zhou found that his name was listed in the position of the second author.
Obviously, the contribution of his work to this paper was recognized by all the staff of the project team. Even though he and the researchers who were fighting in the laboratory on the old campus had never even met each other, they still received a high degree of positive praise.
The fist clenched and loosened, Lu Zhou suddenly shook his head, regained his strength, and stared at the computer screen.
"My battle isn't over yet...... And one more SCI! β
The final step to wrap up!
Opening the word document, his fingers fluttered and he knocked down lines of text.
γFourier Infrared Spectroscopy Analysis and Mathematical Solution of the Effect of Carbon Nanotube Materials on the Hydration Reaction of Portland Cement at Early Ageγ
[Abstract:The hydration process of Portland cement and its carbon nanotube modified samples at the early age was characterized by FTIR method. Through functional analysis and other mathematical methods, a mathematical model was established for analysis, and it was concluded that CNTs did not have an effect on the hydration reaction at early age when mixed with Portland cement. γ

β¦β¦
It took a whole day for Lu Zhou to sort out the paper according to the first draft he had made earlier, and took it to the laboratory.
As soon as he stepped through the door of the laboratory, Qian Zhongming hugged Lu Zhou's arm as if he was crazy, and shouted loudly in an excited tone.
"We succeeded! Lu Zhou, we succeeded! β
"Okay, okay, I know, I know!"
It took a lot of effort for Lu Zhou to get rid of Senior Brother Qian, who was crazy. Seeing Senior Brother Liu walking over with his arms open with a smile, he quickly dodged to the side, and he could be regarded as escaping.
Professor Lee Young-en stood aside with a smile and looked at the group of young people.
Waiting for the excitement to pass, he smiled and spoke.
"The paper is done?"
"That's it."
As he spoke, Lu Zhou took out the USB flash drive, but Professor Li reached out and pushed it back with a smile.
"You don't need to show it to me, I've already read the first draft you gave me, there's no big problem, this part of the research is your own work, you can just take it and publish it yourself."
"Well, the data isβ"
Professor Li smiled and said: "The second and third works will write the names of your Senior Brother Qian and Senior Brother Liu, and the FTIR infrared spectroscopy data are all collected by them, or you can add my name to the fourth work as you like, although it doesn't matter to me whether you add it or not." I would like you to apply for my graduate school more than SCI. β
Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly and did not answer.
That's really hard to answer.
It's not that he has any opinions about Professor Li, but the main thing is that he hasn't thought about which direction he will focus on in the future.
Professor Li smiled, didn't say anything about him, and after a pause, he changed the topic and continued: "Computational materials science is an emerging interdisciplinary discipline, and general materials science journals are not strong in reviewing manuscripts in this regard. My suggestion is that you can choose to submit a foreign journal of Computational Materials Science, although the impact factor I looked at last time seems to be only 2.2, but the impact of a journal cannot be measured by the impact factor alone. β
"As for the signature of the paper, I still say that your results can be signed in your own name, don't take too much care of my side, the project team I led last year did five articles in one area, will you be missing?"
Professor Li didn't brag about this, the team he led was well-funded, the scientific research force was strong, and the average annual production of SCI was at least more than 10, many of which were in the first district, which was more than enough to cope with the assessment, and there was no shortage of his article.
That kind of tutor and student turning their faces in order to grab a job, at least it had never happened to him.
As for the second and third works......
Due to the fact that the academic environment in China is different from that in foreign countries, only one work has always been watched, and the corresponding authors have seen little. This kind of thing may be a little meaningful to a doctoral student, but it really doesn't mean much to him, and it doesn't matter to him whether he adds his name or not.
In contrast, he still values more tangible results.
For example, patents or something.
Lu Zhou wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Professor Li with a smile and raised his hand.
"Okay, let's not talk about academic matters today, I booked a few tables at the Purple Mountain Hotel, and I'll drive you there in a while. It's been a whole year of hard work, and today everyone will have a good drink. After today, give me a trip to get out, and the expenses will be reimbursed, don't be polite to me! β
Liu Bo: "The professor is mighty!" Teach Atmosphere! β
Senior Brother Qian also went against the norm of rarely speaking, and excitedly shouted "666".
Lu Zhou also had a smile on his face, but his expression was a little subtle soon.
Wait a minute.
Tonight, isn't it the Golden Autumn Song Club?
He seems to have promised Fei Ge that he would go to the party.
emmmβ¦β¦
Forget it, pigeon.
For Lu Zhou, compared to standing in the school gymnasium to feed mosquitoes, it is more attractive to follow the professor to eat and drink in a big hotel.
