As for the company's affairs, Duke has let go and started to deal with his studies, because the doctoral qualifying exam is about to begin.

Duke had already completed sixteen courses this year, and it was maddening to get all of them A grades in such a heavy course. Within one year, Duke had completed the credits required for two Ph.D. degrees. This is definitely a rather perverted grade at MIT, and it usually takes at least 2 years for the average person to complete the 8 courses required for a PhD.

Although this doctoral qualifying exam is not very difficult for Duke, in order to ensure that he is excellent, Duke still feels that he should prepare. Because there is no need for an oral exam for the students who get the best results, this will greatly reduce the unnecessary workload, and although the number of excellent students will not exceed 10 percent, Duke feels that it is not difficult to be well prepared.

In addition, it is necessary to prepare the thesis, and Duke's heavyweight papers in computer science have been sent several, and Professor Pol has already released the wind that the first level of the thesis is basically a process, but there are no results in elective physics, and Duke has to think about what topic to get that doctoral diploma.

So while reviewing his homework, Duke kept looking up physics-related things in Kerry's knowledge base, and Billem put a lot of physics-related content in Kerry's knowledge base, but most of them were too advanced for Duke to understand at the level of earth technology. Much of the knowledge about thermonuclear reactions is largely negligible.

Duke only wanted to find a relatively "old" piece of knowledge that could be seamlessly integrated with the current state of the art.

In this way, from Kerry's massive knowledge base, he finally searched for a popular science article on chain reaction miniaturization, and with Duke's current level of knowledge of nuclear physics, he saw at a glance the possibility of this article at the current level of science and technology.

Because this is a new idea of chain reaction, the use of several rare elements on the earth as catalysts for nuclear reactions can greatly improve the safety of chain reactions, so that the demand for chain reaction safety facilities will be reduced by more than an order of magnitude, thereby greatly reducing the investment in nuclear safety protection of nuclear power plants.

Duke feels that this article is very popular science for Billem, there is a lot worth excavating, according to this popular science article, the nuclear power plant equipment on the earth based on chain reaction will undergo a major change, but for Duke, there is no need to describe the key places now, he needs to analyze the idea of adding that kind of catalyst in a natural way, and then prove that the effect of this catalyst is consistent with the idea in relevant experiments, which is enough.

As for the optimal proportion of this catalyst, that is the next step in industrialization.

Finding a new way to improve nuclear reactions alone would have allowed Duke to earn a Ph.D. in physics in the open.

Duke searched for knowledge about the two elements in Kerry's knowledge base, and it was obvious that on the planet of Billem, the understanding of various elements was much deeper than that of Earth, and most of the results that Duke searched for required very complex experiments to prove, of course, these experiments were by no means known on Earth now.

After searching for a long time, Duke could not simply explain that these materials could be used as catalysts for chain reactions, so Duke had to write down a few relatively simple experiments to study these elements, and was ready to re-complete these "ordinary experiments" that had already been completed on the planet Byleme in the laboratory, and then "discover" the special effects of these elements.

So Duke filed these contents and positioned his doctoral dissertation as a chain reaction study.

After passing the Ph.D. exam, Duke will talk to a physics professor, who is still an elective, and his supervisor is still Professor Ball, according to Professor Ball's arrangement, as long as he passes this exam, he can choose a thesis published in MIT research work as a doctoral thesis, whether it is speech recognition or artificial intelligence.

There were no surprises in the exam, and Duke passed with perfect scores, becoming the first person in MIT history to take two doctoral programs at the same time in one year and finally pass all A's.

Of course, this result did not attract much attention, because Duke has obtained too many A grades in the past year, and according to everyone's opinion, it is normal for Duke to get an A in this qualification exam, and it is abnormal not to have an A.

After receiving the results of the qualifying examination, Professor Ball set a time for Duke to defend his dissertation in March next year (2014), and the first Ph.D. has already beckoned to Duke.

In terms of the topic selection of his doctoral dissertation in physics, Professor Schwab, an authority on nuclear physics, heard that Duke was very interested in nuclear reactions, and took the initiative to talk to Duke about the basis of physics and his views on the topic selection.

This leading expert in nuclear physics research also has an intuition that borders on horror.

With this done, Duke was relieved and once again set his sights on the development of a new product.

This time, at the request of Cai Siqiang, he is ready to make a new breakthrough in mobile phones.

However, what more breakthroughs can be made on mobile phones?

Although theoretically, the application of brainwave technology on mobile phones also has a certain feasibility, but in view of the fact that the brainwave acquisition technology is still too outdated, the person who uses the mobile phone with a helmet looks too trendy "2", and even Duke feels a little funny when he thinks about it. Therefore, this technical feasibility is there, but the appearance is too restrictive.

Brainwave technology cannot be grafted into the past, and speech recognition has already been used. This new direction is really hard to choose.

Duke pondered for a long time, but couldn't find the direction of the breakthrough, and couldn't help but suddenly think of Billem, who hadn't been in touch for a long time, and didn't know how Billem was doing now.

Thinking of this, Duke took out his phone and dialed Billem's number.

"HI, Billem," somehow, facing Billem, Duke actually had a feeling of weakness in his heart, "Are you okay?" ”

"Duke, so you haven't forgotten about me." Billem grumbled like a resentful woman. In fact, through Kerry, he is very clear about Duke's every move. It's just that, as a last resort, Billem doesn't want Duke to know this, no one likes everything about themselves to be exposed to the sun and be watched, even if the onlookers are aliens.

"How so," Duke said. "Now that I've completed the first step of initial capital accumulation, I have more than $20 billion worth of shares. I don't think I'll double that number in less than a year. We are still a long way from our target, but at least we have taken a crucial step towards our goal. ”

Duke didn't want Billem to feel like he wasn't doing his best, in fact, the more he learned about Kerry's knowledge, the more Duke felt that Kerry's alien technology was powerful, and therefore the more worried Billem was going mad.

"That's good, but it seems that there is still a long way to go to build a deuterium refining plant, do you have anything to contact me about this time?" There was no emotion in the voice coming from Billem, and in fact the voice was converted through a mechanical device, so naturally there could be no emotion.

"Billem, that's right, I remember you once copied a copy of my mobile phone, I want to know if the screen and power supply of that mobile phone can be produced using the technology on the earth?" Duke asked, saying that most of the displays he saw in Kerry were three-dimensional projections, but the design of the core part of the projection was so intricate and complex that Duke gave up after researching it.

But that day, Duke saw that the shape of the "iPhone" copied by Billem was basically the same, but the display effect was much better.

"Phone screen? I want to think about it, it is made of organic synthetic materials, and from the perspective of composition analysis, these materials are available on the earth" Billem thought for a while and said, during this time, in addition to obtaining Duke's information, Billem was idle and bored, and also studied the technology on the earth on the Internet through Duke's 3G account.

In his eyes, the technology on the earth is really quite primitive, but it seems to be more prominent in terms of weapons, the starry sky of Billem has not been at war for hundreds of years, and many powerful weapons have been annihilated in a long time, and the development of science and technology is also biased towards peaceful applications.

Even though there is nothing to focus on in terms of technology, Billem discovers that the resources on Earth are very similar to his own. Most of the elements can be found.

"So is there a production process?" Duke heard the door and hurriedly asked.

"Production process?" Billem was a little confused, this thing was just made by him casually using the materials at hand, what kind of production process to speak of. However, thinking about the process of making it himself, Billem quickly generated an electronic document of the production process.

"I've got a relatively simple process here, you can see for yourself," Billem said, sending the document to Duke. "As for the power supply, I use a photosensitive material to provide it, which is the material you see in the shape of the machine, as long as there is light, it can generate some electrical energy, and it will automatically store it when not in use."

"Is there a production process for this material?" Hearing such a magical material, Duke immediately became excited. This thing may be able to disrupt the current energy industry. I didn't expect to be able to get such two good things this time, and it seems that there is great hope for designing a mobile phone with unique technical advantages.
