North Beauty, Massachusetts Institute of Technology!

She is a tenured professor of materials science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, an academician of the National Academy of Sciences in Beiliguo, an internationally renowned materials scientist, and a winner of the Robert Franklin Meyer Award.

The Robert Franklin Meyer Award is one of the highest international awards in the field of materials science.

It is only one level short of the Nobel Prize in Physics and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Almost all of the scholars who have won the Robert Franklin Meyer Award are academicians.

After getting up early in the morning, Yulin walked into the study with a cup of coffee, put the coffee in her hand on the table, sat down on the chair behind the desk, and then opened the laptop in front of her.

It's a job that Yulene does every day.

Every morning, I spend half an hour walking around ARXIV, seeing wonderful papers, and spending more time perusing and researching.

Place your hand on the mouse, move the mouse, open the materials section on arxiv, and pull down the progress bar of the web page.

When she sees an interesting title, Yulin will stop and click on it to check it out.

After reading it, exit to move on to another paper.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Yulin stopped what she was doing: "Fusion of fullerene and non-fullerene?" ”

Yu Lin was surprised: "Fullerenes and non-fullerenes can be fused?" ”

As an internationally renowned materials scientist, she has also studied the fusion of fullerenes and non-fullerenes.

But when it turns out that they can't fuse, Yulin gives up.

Today, however, Yulin saw someone say that fullerenes and non-fullerenes could be fused.

This made Yulin both surprised and curious.

Yu Lin wondered in her heart: "It won't be the title party!" ”

There are many headlines on arxiv, and many papers often have specious titles in order to attract attention.

Yulene used to see many title parties on arxiv.

For example, neutrino anti-nuclear weapons, after clicking on it, it is a study of neutrino matter interaction.

Use a quantum token for digital signature, and after clicking in, I found that it is indeed a paper with a quantum token for digital signature, but the body of the paper is telling a mythological story.

Although Yulene felt in her heart that the fusion of fullerene and non-fullerene was like a title party.

But curiosity kills the cat.

Yulin still couldn't help but click in.

"Ye Fei?" When Yu Lin saw the author of the paper, she was stunned: "The Ye Fei in Xia Guo who discovered C72 fullerene?" ”

Ye Fei is now well-known in the world, and most people in mathematics, computing, blockchain, materials, physics and chemistry know Ye Fei.

Whoever lets Ye Fei enter a field will do earth-shattering things, and it is difficult to think about Ye Fei or not.

Yu Lin said in her heart: "If it is Ye Fei, it is really possible to fuse fullerene and non-fullerene. ”

With that, she looked at the summary.

"C72 fullerene derivative receptor fusion and non-fullerene small molecule receptor?"

"C72 fullerene?" Yu Lin smiled bitterly in her heart: "If it is C72 fullerene, I can't verify it." ”

Xia Guo's C72 fullerene is not sold to the outside world, and no one in the outside world can get C72 fullerene.

Then, if you want to verify the fusion of the C72 fullerene derivative receptor and the non-fullerene small molecule acceptor, it is not possible.

But Yulin still read the text.

After reading it, Yu Lin frowned tightly and said in her heart: "According to what he wrote in his paper, can the C72 fullerene derivative receptor really fuse with the non-fullerene small molecule receptor?" ”

"But he wrote out all the papers, and after the paper was published to the journal, the people in the journal naturally couldn't verify it because they didn't have C72 fullerene, so they could only find Ye Fei in person and let Ye Fei verify it to the people in the journal."

"So, I just have to wait for the results."

"When the results are in, I'll be able to know if C72 fullerene and non-fullerene can be fused."

Kyoto, Fullerene Research Institute, rest area!

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, it is the break time for the institute.

Many researchers sit together in the lounge area over tea and chat.

Ye Fei and Professor Gao sat together, tea and pastries in front of them.

Professor Gao said: "Your paper on the fusion of C72 fullerenes and non-fullerenes has been published? ”

"Hmm!" Ye Fei nodded and said, "Published in a natural journal." ”

The reason why Ye Fei was published in a natural journal is because the scientific journal belongs to Beili Kingdom.

In addition, C72 fullerene is not sold to the outside world.

In order to demonstrate the paper, Ye Fei needed to present the experimental results to the people in the journal.

Then, the journal people will personally watch Ye Fei's experimental process.

In order to avoid the leakage of C72 fullerene, Ye Fei will not publish the paper in a scientific journal.

Professor Gao took a sip of the tea in front of him, reassured the teacup and asked, "C72 fullerene is not sold to the outside world, you need to show the results of the experiment!" ”

"Yes!" Ye Fei nodded: "When someone from the Nature Journal contacts me, I will show the results of the experiment." ”

Professor Gao shook his head and said with emotion: "C72 fullerene, I don't know what else can be developed!" ”

"Who knows!" Ye Fei said with a smile: "Anyway, now C72 fullerene is only owned by our country, and we can study it as much as we want." ”

"Even if it says that it will be sold to the outside world in five years, we can apply to the above to delay the time of external sales."

"We can sell when we want to sell to the outside world, and the initiative of the external sales is ours, not in foreign countries."

"Hmm!"

Professor Gao asked, "What are you going to study next?" ”

Ye Feidao: "I want to conduct in-depth research on the fusion of C72 fullerene derivative receptors and non-fullerene small molecule receptors. ”

Professor Gao asked, "Is there a direction?" ”

"There it is!" Ye Fei nodded and said: "In the field of solar energy, because fullerenes and non-fullerenes are fused, they can complement each other, making fullerenes have strong light-absorbing ability and fullerenes have high stability." ”

"The material produced in this way is the most suitable for research and development in the field of solar energy."

"Hmm!" Professor Gao nodded: "It's a very good research direction." ”

"By the way, how is your math research? I've heard you say you're working on Hilbert's 12th question. ”

Ye Fei said: "It's going well, it's been proven that one-tenth of it has been proven now, and it can be proven successful in April next year." ”

"So fast?" Professor Gao was surprised: "This is Hilbert's 12th problem, and among all Hilbert's problems, it ranks second in difficulty, only one level lower than the difficulty of the Riemann conjecture of the seven major problems in mathematics." ”

The so-called lower level here is not Hilbert's 12th problem, which is one level lower than the difficulty of the Riemann conjecture.

Rather, it is one level lower than all Hilbert's problems.

If we talk about all the problems of mathematics, the difference in difficulty between Hilbert's 12th problem and the Riemann conjecture is very large.

The difficulty between the two is like the difference between heaven and earth, the difference between one and one hundred.

"Hehe...... Ye Fei smiled proudly: "Who am I, I am Ye Fei, mathematics is what I am good at, and nature studies very quickly." ”

Professor Gao scolded with a smile: "Look at you proudly." ”

Three days later!

Ye Fei received a message from the journal Nature and hoped to demonstrate Ye Fei's research in person.

Ye Fei replied to them and asked their people to come to the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute, and Ye Fei demonstrated his research for them in person.

The Nature Journal quickly replied that it would organize a team and go to the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute three days later.

Three days later!

Kyoto Graphene Research Institute VIP Building!

At this moment, in the hall on the first floor of the VIP building, there are many people standing on the third floor and the outer three floors.

Most of the researchers and leaders of the Graphene Research Institute are gathered here.

In the middle of the hall is a white electron microscope.

"I heard that Director Ye has developed the fusion of C72 fullerene and non-fullerene, which is the first case in the world, the fusion of fullerene and non-fullerene, if successful, can make a better solar panel than the current solar panel, which can strengthen our country's research in the field of solar energy."

"It's really amazing, first discovered C72 fullerene, developed a lithium battery separator with C72 fullerene, broke the blockade of China's lithium battery separator by foreign countries for many years, and now has developed the fusion of C72 fullerene and non-fullerene."

"Yes, the key Director Ye is only 27 years old this year, and he has such achievements at the age of 27, which is amazing."

It is already November 2028, and Ye Fei has already passed his birthday.

Therefore, Ye Fei is now 27 years old.

"When we were 27 years old, we were still studying for a Ph.D., and Director Ye was 27 years old, and he had already developed a lot of worldwide research."

"Let's not compare with Director Ye, we can't compare, and there is no comparison, we don't deserve it."

“……”

At the entrance of the Graphene Research Institute!

Ye Fei, Professor Gao and Academician Fang Shan, President of the Graphene Research Institute, were talking and waiting at the door.

Moments later, three sedans stopped at the door, and a group of people walked down from them.

The leader was a yellow-skinned middle-aged man in his forties, dressed very well.

Behind him, followed by three men and two women, two of whom were white, and the rest were of yellow race.

The middle-aged man walked up to Ye Fei and said with a smile: "Hello, Professor Ye!" ”

Now there are any names for Ye Fei, Professor Ye, Dean Ye, and Director Ye.

Anyway, every name is right.

"I'm the President of Nature Publishing Group Asia, Sun Zhenbang!"

As he spoke, Sun Zhenbang stretched out his hand and shook hands with Ye Fei.

"Hello!" Ye Fei shook hands with him with a smile, and then introduced the two people next to him to Sun Zhenbang, and Sun Zhenbang also introduced the people behind him.

Nature journals, except for Sun Zhenbang, who is a manager, the rest are all scientific researchers.

It stands to reason that two researchers from nature journals are sufficient.

It's just that some people are curious about Ye Fei's research and want to take a look.

Ye Fei said: "Please come in!" ”

After speaking, Ye Fei led a group of people towards the Graphene Research Institute.

After a long time, they arrived at the VIP building.

When approaching the VIP building, Ye Fei pointed to the VIP building and said, "I will show you the results of my experiments here." ”

"Hmm!" Sun Zhenbang nodded, looked at the many people in the VIP building, and said, "Are they all here to watch you show the results of the experiment?" ”

"Yes!" Ye Fei nodded.

After speaking, Ye Fei took the lead in asking the onlookers to get out of the way and let them in.

A moment later, they walked in.

Ye Fei walked to the electron microscope and pointed to the test tube rack next to the electron microscope stage, there were three test tubes on the test tube rack, all of which were loaded with black emulsion.

The two tubes are labeled with the C72 fullerene derivative receptor, the C72 non-fullerene small molecule receptor, and the Y6 fused cyclic non-fullerene receptor, respectively.

Ye Fei looked at the group of people in the Nature Journal and said, "Mr. Sun, there are other researchers, and then I will show you how to make fullerenes and non-fullerenes fuse." ”

Everyone nodded.

Ye Fei picked up the C72 fullerene derivative receptor with his left hand, and picked up the C72 non-fullerene small molecule receptor with his right hand, and showed it to everyone: "These two test tubes, this is the C72 fullerene derivative receptor. ”

Ye Fei raised the test tube in his left hand.

"This is the C72 non-fullerene small molecule acceptor!"

Ye Fei raised the test tube in his right hand again.

"Next, I'm going to fuse these two lotions!"

After speaking, Ye Fei poured the emulsion in the test tube into the utensils on the electron microscope stage.

Ye Fei pointed to the location near the window and said, "Everyone here get out of the way!" ”

When the crowd heard Ye Fei's words, they all quickly moved out of the way.

When they got out of the way, sunlight shone in through the window and onto the utensils on the electron microscope stage.

Ye Fei nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "The sunshine is good today." ”

Immediately, Ye Fei picked up the test tube of the Y6 fused cyclic non-fullerene receptor and said, "This is the Y6 fused cyclic non-fullerene receptor!" ”

"Now it's time to witness the miracle."

Everyone was curious, and all the onlookers hung their necks and stared at the loading platform.

I saw Ye Fei pour the Y6 fused cyclic non-fullerene receptor into the vessel on the stage.

All the lotions squirmed as if they had turned on a switch, and they were in a state like slightly boiling water, bubbling with many tiny bubbles.

But this state only lasted for two seconds before it stopped, and there was no boiling state and no tiny bubbles.

Everyone was surprised: "What's the matter?" How did it stop? ”

Ye Fei's eyes were put on the eyepiece, and when he saw the C72 fullerene derivative receptor and the C72 non-fullerene small molecule receptor fused together, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After that, he looked up at Sun Zhenbang and said, "Mr. Sun, please!" ”

Sun Zhenbang said to the people behind him: "You go up and have a look." ”

Several people behind Sun Zhenbang stepped forward to check.

After a few moments, the first Caucasian woman to check it exclaimed, "It worked, my God." ”

After that, the rest of the people also went to check.

After reading it, their expressions were very surprised.

Sun Zhenbang saw them finish reading it and asked, "No problem!" ”

"No problem!" They shook their heads.

Sun Zhenbang looked at Ye Fei and said with a smile: "Professor Ye, your research will cause an uproar in the whole world, this is the first case in the world to fuse fullerenes and non-fullerenes. ”

Ye Fei smiled: "My thesis has passed!" ”

"Of course!" Sun Zhenbang said with a smile.

A white woman looked at Ye Fei and asked, "Professor Ye, after you fused the C72 fullerene derivative receptor, the C72 non-fullerene small molecule receptor and the Y6 fused cyclic non-fullerene receptor together, did they fuse?" ”

Ye Fei shook his head and said, "It's still the same." ”

"Huh?" Everyone looked at Ye Fei suspiciously.

What they just saw was obviously Ye Fei fusing these three lotions together, and nothing else was added to them.

Ye Fei pointed to the strong sun outside the window and said, "There is still sunshine!" ”

"Sunshine?" Everyone was stunned, and remembered that Ye Fei had just asked them to get out of the way and let the sun shine in.

Ye Fei said: "When sunlight shines in, it can accelerate their chemical reactions. ”

The white woman asked, "My mentor once fused a C60 fullerene derivative receptor with a C60 non-fullerene small molecule receptor, and a Y6 fused cyclic non-fullerene receptor, but nothing happened. ”

"Could it be that your success now is because of C72 fullerene?"

"That's right!" Ye Fei nodded: "The characteristics of C72 fullerene and C60 fullerene are very different. ”

"The characteristics that C60 fullerene has, C72 fullerene also has, and the characteristics that C60 fullerene does not have, C72 fullerene still has."

The white woman exclaimed, "Oh my God, it's amazing." ”

Then, she looked at Ye Fei longingly: "Can I bring a little bit of C72 fullerene back?" Just a little bit. ”

"I'm sorry!" Ye Fei shook his head: "At this stage, C72 fullerene is a confidential item of my research institute and must not be circulated to the outside world. ”

"Not at all?" The white woman showed a very aggrieved expression.

"Not at all!" Ye Fei shook his head.

"Hey......" the white woman sighed helplessly.

After that, Ye Fei personally disposed of the experimental items and asked people to carry away the electron microscope.

In the end, Ye Fei invited Sun Zhenbang and others to have dinner at a very famous private restaurant in Kyoto, accompanied by Professor Gao and Academician Fang Shan.

On the way back, Professor Gao smiled and said, "That white woman's purpose is not pure, she wanted to get C72 fullerene from the beginning, and she also asked about C72 fullerene at the dinner table." ”

"Hmm!" Ye Fei nodded: "For this reason, I didn't publish the paper in a scientific journal, but I didn't expect that among the people in the natural journal, there were also people who wanted to get C72 fullerene." ”

"Who did you say she sent from?" Professor Gao asked, "Is it Northern Liguo, or is it England?" ”

Nature Journals is a journal published by Nature Publishing Group in England.

Ye Fei shook his head and said: "Who knows, leave her alone, anyway, she didn't get C72 fullerene." ”

"Hmm!" Professor Gao nodded: "Let's not worry about these things, we just don't let people outside get C72 fullerene." ”

"Yes!" Ye Fei nodded.

Half a month later, a new issue of Nature was released!

Ye Fei's paper was published on it, and many researchers were shocked when they saw it.

North Beauty, Massachusetts Institute of Technology!

Yu Lin looked at Ye Fei's paper in the Nature Journal and said in surprise: "It was a success, my God." ”

"Is C72 fullerene really that magical?"

"I really want to get some C72 fullerene for experiments and see the results!"

Of course, she also knew that this was impossible, unless Xia Guo sold C72 fullerene to the outside world.

Kyoto, Fullerene Research Institute!

Ye Fei is doing experiments, and after the fusion of C72 fullerene and non-fullerene, he intends to make a material with strong light absorption as a solar panel.

"Ye Fei!" At this time, Professor Gao walked in from outside and said excitedly, "You have won the award." ”

Ye Fei was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Professor Gao who walked in, and asked, "What award?" ”

"Robert Franklin Meyer Award!" Professor Gao smiled, "I will reward you for your contributions to the scientific research of materials science. ”

"This is one of the top awards in international materials science!"

"Do you know how many people want to win this award!"

"In our Xia Kingdom, only two people have won this award in the past, and you are the third."

"Even in the world, there are only 106 people who have won the award, and you are 107!"

The Robert Franklin Meyer Award is presented annually to one person at a time.

Ye Fei smiled: "Where is the award?" If I go abroad, I can't go out, unless it's some friendly country in our country. ”

With Ye Fei's current status, he can hardly go abroad.

Just look at Ye Fei's current achievements, developed an asymmetric encryption and latitude blockchain system, discovered C72 fullerene, developed a lithium battery separator, and now fused C72 fullerene and non-fullerene.

Although there are not many things to be developed, each one is very important to the country.

With so much classified research on their backs, it's hard for people to go abroad.

Unless it's to go to some countries that are very friendly to Xia Country.

For example, North Russia in the north, Pakistan in the southwest, some Southeast Asian countries in the south, and some European countries in the west.

Moreover, when Ye Fei goes abroad, he has to apply to the above, and he can only go abroad after the above agrees.

Professor Gao smiled: "Don't worry, this award is in the magic capital of our country!" ”

"That's good!" Ye Fei said with a smile.

With the enhancement of the comprehensive national strength of the Xia Kingdom and the progress of science, more and more scholars pay attention to the Xia Kingdom.

In addition, Xia has strong economic strength, social stability, and public security is one of the safest countries in the world.

Therefore, more and more international conferences, competitions and events are held in Xia Kingdom.

Ye Fei asked, "When is the award being awarded?" ”

"On the 1st of next month, the invitation will be sent in a few days, and you can go then."

"Hmm!" Ye Fei nodded and said with a smile: "When the time comes, you will go with me?" ”

At a top-level international award ceremony like this, there will be many internationally renowned materials scientists who will participate in it, and bring Professor Gao to increase their contacts.

"Haha......" Professor Gao smiled: "I'll just wait for you to say this, even if you don't say it, I will ask you to bring mine." ”

Ye Fei smiled: "Then let's go together!" ”
