There is still a week to go until October 1.

But many people who have seen the news on Arxiv already know that the Xia Guo Graphene Research Institute has discovered a new fullerene with stability beyond C60 fullerene.

It's called C72 fullerene!

In an instant, the whole network was in an uproar!

Whether it is an international website or a Xia Guo website, it is all fried.

Fullerenes have been hailed as one of the greatest discoveries of the twentieth century.

For a long time, the world's fullerene patents are the most abundant, and many countries will spend a lot of money every year to buy products developed by fullerenes from Beilaiguo.

It is estimated that the North Korea earns hundreds of billions of dollars a year in this regard.

This is just the surface of the fullerene application development, with more and more applications developed by Beili from fullerene, more and more products can be sold every year, and more and more money is made.

As the greatest discovery of the twentieth century, no one knows how many unexplored applications fullerenes have.

But such a fullerene with infinite potential was suddenly copied by Xia Guo one day.

The people of Beili were irritable when they learned the news, the people of Xia were excited, and the people of other countries were envious.

A popular science anchor with more than 20 million fans on Douyin said excitedly: "Family, big news, big news, just two days ago, my country's Kyoto Graphene Research Institute developed the world's most stable fullerene. ”

"What is fullerene?"

"Because it has super antioxidant properties, it can remove wrinkles, whiten, rejuvenate the skin, hydrate, moisturize, protect from the sun, and in many skin care products, there are fullerenes."

"It doesn't matter at all, does it?"

"Okay, I'll talk about something a little more shocking."

"Fullerenes are one of the greatest discoveries of the twentieth century."

"It is known as the king of antioxidants, the prince of nano, and the person who discovered it won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry."

"Due to the limited use of modern technology, fullerenes have not even been developed for a superficial application."

"But with the advancement of science and technology, fullerenes are being used in more fields."

"It's just that fullerenes are now mainly used in skin care products and preservatives."

"Fullerenes actually have applications in medicine, green energy, diversified research, superconducting materials, gas storage and catalysts."

"The most stable fullerene found in our country was named C72 fullerene."

"I don't know what applications will be available for the time being."

"After all, different fullerenes have different areas of application."

"But the more stable the fullerene, the wider the field of application."

"In the past, the most stable fullerene was called C60 fullerene, which is the most widely used of all fullerenes."

"The most stable fullerene now is C72 fullerene, which will have a wider range of applications than C60 fullerene."

"We can look forward to the application of C72 fullerene."

"I believe that in the near future, my country will be able to shine on the international stage in the field of fullerene."

Many netizens were very excited to hear the anchor's introduction.

There are also many people who know fullerene: "This anchor only talked about one of the key points that our country has the most stable fullerene, and there is an important point. ”

"For a long time, in the field of fullerene, we only have downstream sales."

"The preparation of the upstream and the production and application research and development of the midstream have always been our weak points, compared with Europe and the North Korea, and even with the East Wing Kingdom and the Korea Kingdom, which are far from us."

"Now that C72 fullerene has been discovered, China can prepare C72 fullerene upstream, according to C72 fullerene, and then begin to develop the application of C72 fullerene and produce products made of C72 fullerene."

"It can be said that with C72 fullerene, as long as China joins the investment and policy tendencies, plus China is the world's largest fullerene sales market."

"China can create a complete supply chain of C72 fullerene."

"Preparation in the upstream, R&D and production in the midstream, sales in the downstream."

"Of course, our country will definitely join the investment and policy preferences."

When many netizens saw the introduction of this person, their hearts were surging, and their blood was surging with excitement, wishing that they were the ones who discovered C72 fullerene.

Another humane: "I saw from Arxiv that in the corresponding author and first work of the C72 fullerene paper, in addition to Professor Gao Dingyi, there is also Ye Fei. ”

"This proves the discovery of C72 fullerene, Ye Fei is one of the main discoverers, and the other is Professor Gao Dingyi."

Many netizens saw this, and some deliberately went over the wall to check on Arxiv.

"There is really Ye Fei, it's awesome, I heard that Ye Fei went to the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute half a year ago, and many people asserted that Ye Fei would have a major breakthrough in the field of fullerene, but I didn't expect that there would be a major breakthrough, and this breakthrough directly overturned the entire fullerene field."

"It's too strong, we have Ye Fei in Xia Guo, it's not Ye Fei's luck, it's Xia Guo's luck."

"In the future, what Ye Fei studies, I will buy stocks, and follow Ye Fei to make money, and Ye Fei is the guiding light for me to speculate in stocks."

"Don't talk about stock trading, let's predict when Ye Fei will become an academician with Ye Fei's achievements today."

"With Ye Fei's achievements today, as long as he becomes a second-level professor and is recommended by four academicians, he can become an academician very logically."

The academician selection does not accept individual applications, only group recommendations.

The selection of academicians over the age of 65 must be recommended by six academicians, and the selection of academicians under the age of 65 must be recommended by four academicians.

"Indeed, Ye Fei is now a third-level professor, and I predict that he will definitely be able to be selected for the academician selection in the coming year."

The selection of academicians is biennial, and this year's selection has ended, and it must wait until 2030.

Moreover, even if Ye Fei is selected this year, it does not meet the requirements.

He must become a second-class professor before he can be eligible for fellowship.

Moreover, after becoming a second-level professor, four academicians recommended Ye Fei.

Otherwise, even if Ye Fei wanted to become an academician, he could only be in a hurry.

"Let's predict again, when Ye Fei will win the Nobel Prize."

"Don't think about the Nobel Prize, Ye Fei's current achievements have not reached the standard of the Nobel Prize, unless he discovers something that has not been discovered before him in a certain field, but this is too difficult, not only does it require strong ability, but luck is also very important, for example, fullerene, it is because of the study of the nebula map that he was lucky to find fullerene."

"The Nobel Prize is difficult, what about the Fields Medal, Ye Fei mainly studies mathematics, and his mathematical ability is very strong."

"The Fields Medal is also difficult, this is no less difficult than winning the Nobel Prize, Ye Fei's current research in the field of mathematics, can not win the Fields Medal, unless he proves a world-famous mathematical problem, such as the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture, or the twin prime conjecture ......"

"You might as well let Ye Fei prove the seven major problems of mathematics!"

"Prove the seven problems of mathematics, and you will definitely win the Fields Medal!"

“……”

Because C72 fullerene was discovered, the graphene and fullerene sectors of the stock market skyrocketed.

At that time, many people who bought graphene and fullerene stocks made crazy money.

This made them very happy, when they saw Ye Fei enter the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute, they bought graphene and fullerene stocks, and now they are really making crazy money.

Rongcheng, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Academician Ning's Office!

Academician Ning sat on the chair, looking at the front with a stunned gaze, and the mobile phone on the table in front of him was on Douyin.

The mobile phone is playing the discovery of C72 fullerene by the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute.

After a long time, Academician Ning pinched his thigh, and he said in surprise: "There is pain, not a dream." ”

Academician Ning then looked at the content played on Douyin on his mobile phone.

Academician Ning was stunned and said, "Is this the fullerene developed by Ye Fei?" It can't be the C72 fullerene that this kid discovered! ”

Academician Ning thought for a while and said, "It's really possible, after all, this kid can always create miracles." ”

"No, I'm going to call and ask."

Graphene Research Institute, in Professor Gao's office!

Ye Feizheng and Professor Gao discussed the content of the day after tomorrow fullerene press conference.

After a long time, Ye Fei said, "It's troublesome Professor Gao." ”

"It's okay, it should be." Professor Gao smiled: "Are you sure?" ”

"Almost." Ye Feidao: "There is basically no problem, besides, this is just a C72 fullerene press conference, let foreigners know that we have really discovered C72 fullerene." ”

"So, I won't talk too much about the professionalism at the press conference."

"It should be fine for me to go up and mess around with them."

"Yes!" Professor Gao nodded.

At this time, Ye Fei's mobile phone rang, he took it out and looked at it, and then smiled at Professor Gao: "I'll answer the phone." ”

"Hmm!" Professor Gao nodded.

Ye Fei stood up and walked out of the office with his mobile phone.

Answer the phone in the hallway.

"Hey, Academician Ning!"

"Ye Fei, did you discover that C72 fullerene?"

"Huh?" Ye Fei said in surprise: "How do you know?" ”

C72 fullerene only published a paper, and all the rest of the news has not been released, as for the news of who discovered C72 fullerene, it has not been announced to the public.

"It's really you." Academician Ning exclaimed: "You kid, you can do well anywhere." ”

"I thought that you would not have much success when you went to the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute, and I wanted to persuade you to come back, but I didn't expect such great results in such a short time."

"Aren't you a major student of mathematics? How can the field of fullerenes be studied? ”

"You must know that materials science is not like computers, and people who are not proficient in materials science cannot study materials."

"You've studied materials science before?"

Ye Fei said: "I learned it in the last half a year. ”

"What?" Academician Ning exclaimed: "In the past six months, you have studied materials science, and then you have discovered C72 fullerene?" Don't lie to me, kid, it's not fun to lie to me! ”

Ye Feidao: "It's true, in fact, the discovery of C72 fullerene is quite simple, I mainly discovered C72 fullerene through mathematical means." ”

Academician Ning said: "Okay, you are still amazing. ”

Ye Fei asked: "Academician Ning, are you interested in listening to the C72 fullerene press conference for two days?" ”

"Yes!" Academician Ning smiled: "It just so happens that I have nothing to do recently, so I should go for a walk, you tell me the address and time, and I will go in two days." ”

"Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Ye Fei sent the address and time of the fullerene press conference to Academician Ning.

October 1, 2028!

Kyoto, the entrance to the International Convention Center!

Early in the morning, many journalists and admirers gather here.

At half past seven, many scholars gathered from all over the world began to enter the international conference center.

By eight o'clock sharp, the seats of thousands of people were full.

These scholars come from all over the world, and many of them are experts in the field of materials science.

There were also a lot of Chinese present, yes, it was the Chinese, not the Xia people.

These are people who have studied abroad and have not returned.

When it comes to materials science, Xia Guo's overseas talents are definitely the top.

I once made a statistic about the citation rate of papers in materials science.

The top six are all Chinese.

But in the top 100, only fifteen are Chinese, and three are Xia people, and the Xia people mentioned here are natives of Xia people, or Xia people who returned to China after studying abroad.

It can be seen from the list that except for the first six who are Chinese, the rest are all concentrated in the end of the list, and there are no Chinese and Xia people on the middle list.

It can be seen from this that there are very few talents in the field of materials science in Xia Guo, and the paper is very watered.

The top six papers on the list are all irrigated by Chinese.

At half past eight, Ye Fei walked on stage wearing headphones.

"Hello everyone, I'm Ye Fei!"

"Papapa......" everyone below applauded warmly.

Almost all people in academia know Ye Fei, especially in the fields of mathematics and computers.

But people who are famous in the field of mathematics, people in other fields also know about this person.

Ye Feidao: "Regarding today's fullerene press conference, I will only briefly introduce two points, how to discover C72 fullerene and C72 fullerene display. ”

"C72 fullerene, I determined the interval of C72 fullerene mathematically, and then discovered C72 fullerene through experiments."

"Next, let's take a look at the internal structure of C72 fullerene!"

After speaking, Ye Fei turned on the electron microscope on the stage, and the things under the electron microscope were magnified and displayed on the LCD screen.

Soon, everyone saw the internal structure of C72 fullerene on the display.

The eyes of the crowd widened instantly, and then many people looked at the snowflake-shaped fullerenes on the display screen with fascinated eyes.

Someone exclaimed, "What a beauty! ”

"There is such a beautiful fullerene in the world."

After a while, Ye Fei said: "Since the internal structure of C72 fullerene is like a snowflake, we call it black edelweiss, and the edelweiss flower is like snow, it likes sunlight and represents hope." ”

"May C72 fullerene bring hope to humanity."

"Does anyone want to come up and look at C72 fullerene through an electron microscope?"

In an instant, many people below raised their hands, and Ye Fei casually pointed to twenty-five people, of which only two were from the Xia Kingdom, and the remaining twenty-three people were foreigners.

It's not that I don't want to refer to more Xia people coming up, but today's purpose is to announce the discovery of C72 fullerene in Xia Guo.

Then it is necessary to convince these foreigners that they have really discovered C72 fullerene.

The twenty-five people quickly came to the stage and lined up one by one to see C72 fullerenes through the electron microscope.

After they finished reading, Ye Fei asked, "No problem!" ”

Twenty-five people shook their heads and said, "No problem, it is indeed a newly discovered fullerene." ”

After waiting for twenty-five people to go down, Ye Fei said: "After testing, it was found that the stability of C72 fullerene is much stronger than that of C60, which is the data after the C72 fullerene test." ”

As he spoke, Ye Fei gestured to the screen behind him.

[Density: 6.666.]

Melting Point: 330 degrees Celsius

Boiling point 600~700 degrees Celsius

Flash point 100 degrees Celsius

Refractive index 2.0】

"Woo......"

When they saw the data, they exclaimed.

"It's too coincidental to say that it's all the least common power angles."

The least common multiples are 3 and 6.

These are two very special numbers in mathematical augeration.

Ye Fei said with a smile: "Don't doubt it, we were also surprised when the test results came out, but the test results can't fool people, and I won't lie to you." ”

"Besides, it won't do us any good to lie to you."

The crowd nodded, and it was.

Lie to them now, and when C72 fullerene is sold in many years, they will also test it.

If the test results do not match the results seen now, it is Xia Guo who is slapping himself in the face.

But they were still surprised in their hearts.

The data of C72 fullerene is also too special, what is the special significance of this?

Could it be that the application of C72 fullerene is also special?

They thought about it for a long time, but they didn't come up with a result.

I can only sigh that nature is really a mysterious place, and the technology developed by human beings may not even have the skin of nature.

Ye Feidao: "Regarding the application of C72 fullerene, we have not started research yet. ”

"But I believe that with the excellence of C72 fullerene, it will be able to have excellent applications in many fields."

Everyone nodded, the more stable the fullerene, the more fields can be applied.

C72 fullerene is more stable than C60 fullerene, so it can be used in many fields.

Moreover, from the test data of C72 fullerene, it can be seen that C72 fullerene may have a very special application.

In the past, fullerenes were mainly used in skin care products and preservative materials, and C72 fullerenes may be used in more fields.

"First of all, we will conduct applied research in materials, energy and medical ......"

Next, Ye Fei explained the future application research of C72 fullerene.

After a long time, Ye Fei stopped speaking and said, "This is today's C72 fullerene press conference, thank you for coming." ”

"Papapa......" everyone applauded warmly.

Many people's eyes twinkle and they don't know what is going on in their hearts.

After the C72 fullerene press conference, many people approached Ye Fei and wanted to learn more about C72 fullerene from Ye Fei.

Ye Fei faced everyone: "I'm sorry, everyone, this is our secret, I can't reveal any knowledge about C72 fullerene." ”

Ye Fei shook his head in his heart: "What do these people think, can I reveal such important knowledge as C72 fullerene?" ”

The next day, the conference room of the Fullerene Institute!

Academician Fang Shan, President of the Graphene Research Institute, and all the personnel of the Fullerene Research Institute gathered here.

Academician Fang Shan sat in the first seat and said: "According to the above requirements, the Fullerene Research Institute of the Graphene Research Institute is separated from the Graphene Research Institute. ”

"The Xia National Fullerene Research Institute was established, with Gao Dingyi as the director and Ye Fei as the deputy director."

"Specializing in the preparation, production and application of C72 fullerene."

"More research on the application of C72 fullerene as soon as possible."

Ye Fei blinked his eyes and asked, "Dean, where is the address of the Fullerene Institute?" ”

"Of course it's still here."

Ye Fei said speechlessly: "Then you said that you broke away from the Graphene Research Institute, don't you move out?" ”

"It's just a relational detachment, but the address hasn't moved."

"Besides, the Graphene Research Institute is so big, it doesn't matter if I give you a place."

"Okay!" Ye Fei said: "But, dean, I have jobs in Zhonghu and Jinling, and now that you have made me the director again, I will not be busy." ”

"It's okay, now that the traffic is developed, you can take a plane and run in three places."

"It takes more than two hours to fly from the sand dunes to Kyoto, more than two hours to fly from Jinling to Kyoto, and one hour and twenty minutes to fly from the sand dunes to Jinling."

"It's not far away!"

"Moreover, there are only three places, and many scholars fly all over the world, and they fly to more than a dozen places a month."

"Hey......" Ye Fei sighed in his heart: "Okay! ”

Everyone looked at Ye Fei with a reluctant look, and they were amused in their hearts.

Others can't be the director if they want to, but when it comes to you, you are very reluctant to be.

The dean said: "By the way, Ye Fei, you are not a Changjiang scholar yet, right?" ”

"Hmm!" Ye Fei nodded.

"After you go back, you can try to apply for Changjiang Scholars, and with your current grades, you can become a Changjiang Scholar."

Ye Fei thought about it for a while, indeed, with his current grades, he can indeed apply for Changjiang Scholars.

Ye Fei said: "I will try to apply." ”
