Institute of Computational Materials.

Hou Jinli, who was standing at the door of the laboratory, took a deep breath, pushed open the door nervously, and walked into the laboratory.

About ten minutes ago, he was still sorting out samples in the laboratory, when someone suddenly came to him and told him that Lu Zhou was waiting for him here.

After learning the news, he didn't hesitate, put down the matter at hand without saying a word, and rushed here.

Looking at Lu Zhou, who was standing in the laboratory and had changed into a white coat and was standing in the laboratory, he asked nervously.

"You're looking for me?"

Lu Zhou nodded and said succinctly.

"Well, I'm looking for you something."

As soon as he heard this, Hou Jinli became even more nervous.

Professor Lu, who hadn't shown his face in the institute for several days, suddenly showed his face, and the first thing he did after coming back was to ask people to notify him to come to the laboratory.

What could this be?

Could it be that there is something wrong with your own subject?

But it can't be......

He clearly remembered repeating the experiment several times, and he succeeded in making it before handing in the report.

Moreover, this kind of trivial matter can't be done, and Professor Lu will come to him in person.

It's no wonder that he muttered in his heart, and ordinary people would not have thought that the Nobel Prize winner became interested in his research, at least after so many years of being a scientific research dog, Hou Jinli never thought about it.

Just as Hou Jinli was muttering in his heart, Lu Zhou was also observing him.

Noticing the nervous expression on his face, Lu Zhou probably guessed what he was thinking, so he smiled and said.

"Take it easy, don't feel any pressure, I'm probably not as old as you. And it's not a bad thing that I'm looking for you. ”

Hearing this, Hou Jinli finally relaxed, and his tense shoulders finally relaxed.

After a pause, Lu Zhou continued to speak.

"I've already read that research report of yours."

As soon as he heard this, Hou Jinli immediately straightened his waist and waited for the comments of the Nobel Prize bigwig.

"The thing you made is very interesting, in addition to being a high-temperature resistant material, it is also much better than ordinary alloy materials in terms of resistance to neutron irradiation."

Hearing this, Hou Jinli suddenly said in an excited tone: "Really? ”

What he did in the experiment was mainly the high-temperature resistance, and he naturally did not do the anti-neutron irradiation experiment, and he did not think of that aspect at all.

Now that he heard that his research results not only showed excellent high-temperature resistance, but also excellent performance in the ability to resist neutron irradiation, he was immediately shocked by this unexpected joy.

Lu Zhou nodded.

"There are some flaws, but there is a lot of room for improvement."

"Besides, the good news ends here, and the news I'm going to talk about next may not be good for you."

"Based on my discussions with experts from several nuclear industry groups, I believe that this technology has the potential to be applied in fusion reactors. Therefore, the firm will approve your final thesis, but you may not be able to send the paper. ”

Hearing this, Hou Jinli sighed secretly in his heart.

In fact, when he heard that his material had the potential to be resistant to neutron irradiation, he had already guessed what Lu Zhou was about to say.

The research results completed in the institute belong to the institute, these are stipulated in the contract, and it is also an industry practice, and there is nothing to dispute. As for the researcher's own, it is usually the paper itself, and perhaps the prize money.

In consideration of patents, other related topics, and the overall interests of the Institute, researchers who cannot publish a paper immediately after completing the project must report the situation and then the head of the Institute decides whether to approve the publication of the paper.

In most cases, as long as you don't wear small shoes, the process is just a walk-around form. After all, the paper is the life of a scholar, whether it is to evaluate the title or anything, you have to rely on it, how many people have been busy all year, isn't this it?

However, there are some special cases where papers will be suppressed and not allowed to be published.

For example, the institute is carrying out a major scientific research project, and the research results in this paper can just help the whole project, or simply be a phased result.

In order to avoid helping competitors, and in order to get "bigger research results" ahead of them, such papers are generally pressed, or at least postpotent, for publication.

In this case, the author of the paper is usually compensated by the research institute.

It is more common to compensate for scientific research funds, or to issue more bonuses, and there are also particularly awesome bosses who simply compensate for two articles and one district, and these operations all exist.

Of course, there are also more excessive, especially the kind that encounters the bureaucratic spirit of the department leaders.

Doing experiments for you is to give you face, robbing you without negotiation, the paper will be pressed, and you will bear the consequences if you send it without authorization, and the hat that delays XX's career can be deducted from your head. If you dare to say a word, don't say that you don't want to send papers in the future, so that you can't even get on the poster of the academic conference, believe it or not?

And these phenomena also exist.

Of course, Lu Zhou is obviously not that kind of person, and Hou Jinli doesn't think that this big guy who can treat "Nature" and "Science" as his own journals will look down on his paper.

So, he just sighed a few times in his heart, and then immediately said.

"It's okay, I'm willing to obey the arrangement of the office!"

Looking at Hou Jinli, Lu Zhou nodded, "It's good that you can understand." Although I am sorry for this paper, the firm will compensate you for your loss. Whether it is materially or honorably, I believe it should satisfy you. ”

Hearing this, Hou Jinli immediately glanced at Lu Zhou gratefully.

As for what the compensation was, he didn't ask.

He believed that since he had made a promise, Lu Zhou would definitely not treat him badly.

Otherwise, there is no need to make a promise at all.

Putting aside the matter of compensation for the time being, it will be arranged later, Lu Zhou is not here today to do ideological work for him, otherwise he would not even wear an anti-static white coat.

Seeing that Hou Jinli had understood what he said, Lu Zhou ended the topic and got down to business.

"I came to you today, mainly to ask about that ceramic-based graphene composite."

Hearing Lu Zhou ask about his project, Hou Jinli immediately put on a serious expression.

"Just ask."

Lu Zhou nodded and continued: "Regarding the toughening agent of that ceramic-based graphene composite, that is, that porous reticulated graphene aerogel, is there a way to change its pore size?" ”

Frowning and thinking for a moment, Hou Jinli replied.

"Theoretically, it should be possible, and when I tried to synthesize that material, I also got several varieties with different pore sizes...... But a theory is a theory, and you still have to try it to find out. ”

"Then I'll have to give it a try." As he spoke, Lu Zhou picked up a document from the experimental table and handed it to him, "I have some simulation data here, if you can, I hope you can make these." ”

Seeing this information, Hou Jinli was slightly moved.

It wasn't the content of the materials that shocked him, after all, he couldn't understand the calculations at all.

As for the ...... that really shook his heart.

Hou Jinli swallowed and foamed.

I'm ......

Did you do an experiment with the Nobel Prize boss?

Happiness came so suddenly that he wasn't prepared for it.

Seeing that he didn't say a word for a long time, Lu Zhou asked, "Is there any problem?" ”

"No, no," Hou Jinli immediately shook his head, then remembered something, and then said, "By the way, I may be very slow to do alone, can I find an assistant?" One will do. ”

"One person is definitely not enough, at least ten. Five sets of samples started at the same time, the task was heavy, and I had to see the results within a week. ”

Throwing away a list of him, Lu Zhou continued: "The names of the researchers in the institute are all here, and there is no problem with checking the background. You see which one is suitable, just put a tick after the name and give it to me. ”
