Although there are some doubts that these two very young female assistants can do this job well, they have all been selected and brought over, and Xu Chuan is not good at saying to his face that he will be replaced by a man.

No matter how you use it, let's use it for a while and then see.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Chuan decided to get a private email phone number or something in the future.

It's good to have an assistant, but sometimes it's not very convenient in some ways, especially in some personal interactions.

For some project or public matters, it is no problem for the assistant to take the initial handling instead.

But when it comes to some personal things, it's better for him to come in person.

Thinking of this, Xu Chuan suddenly remembered another thing.

When he was in the capital before, he happened to meet Lu Tianrui, an old friend from Xingcheng No. 1 Middle School at Peking University, and sent him some previous study books when he came back, but he forgot about it when he got busy.

It just so happens that two new assistants have been recruited to get them to the villa and get all the books he had from Princeton.

On the one hand, it is to sort it out and send some of the books to Lu Tianrui after copying.

On the other hand, it can be classified as study materials for these novice students, although for graduate and doctoral students, those books are slightly beyond the scope, but it doesn't matter, as long as they are useful.

After all, reading books that are slightly out of scope can help the brain think.

After arranging the work, Xu Chuan checked the homework of the two students and then left for the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute.

Applying the strong diamagnetic mechanism of KL-66 to other superconducting materials requires his perfect mathematical methods, but it also requires the computational mathematical model in the Kawakai Materials Research Institute.

Besides, he hadn't been to the institute for a while.

Although someone manages it for him, as the boss, he still needs to know about the work and progress of the institute.

rushed all the way to the research institute at the foot of the Purple Mountain, and Xu Chuan successfully contacted Fan Pengyue in advance.

The Master Bear is busy in the lab.

Seeing this scene, Xu Chuan became a little curious, and asked with a smile: "Anyway, why did you suddenly go down to the laboratory in person?" ”

Although this master bear himself came from the laboratory and did many experiments with Chen Zhengping, since he managed the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute, he has rarely had the opportunity to go to the laboratory as an experimental ape in person.

"Graphene!" Wearing a white coat, Fan Pengyue replied excitedly: "We have found a way to synthesize high-quality graphene in batches!" Final experiments are underway, and if feasible, it will be the biggest revolution in the world of materials! ”

Hearing this, Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, walked forward quickly, and asked, "When did it happen, why didn't I listen to your report?" ”

"Wait a minute, I'll finish this step." Fan Pengyue stared at the equipment and said without looking back.

Hearing this, Xu Chuan waited patiently.

If high-quality graphene materials can be synthesized in batches and industrialized production, it will be one of the biggest changes in the materials industry, as the master Xiong said.

That's right, it's one, not the only one.

In fact, compared with other researchers or scholars in the field of materials, his attitude towards graphene is not so fanatical.

Although he is also optimistic about this new material, believing that it has great potential in the future, he has even used graphene in the previous research on high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials.

But compared to others, he is still calmer.

Graphene has always been praised as the "king of new materials" by the materials science community.

Extremely high strength, extremely high electrical conductivity, extremely high thermal conductivity, ultra-thin, high transparency, high flexibility, high chemical stability, magnetism. and other aspects of excellent physical properties, giving it a wide range of adaptability.

Graphene is suitable for cutting-edge fields such as new nanomaterials, high-performance electronic devices, energy storage conversion, medical biology, etc., from basic raw materials to new nanomaterials.

But its drawbacks are not without it.

For example, it is often said that it is difficult to mass produce high-quality, easy oxidation in the air, and the use environment requires special packaging.

In addition to these conventional shortcomings, the biggest problem with graphene is not actually here.

The biggest problem with graphene is that the paper performance is extremely good, but the application performance is actually very average.

That's right, extremely high strength, extremely high electrical conductivity, extremely high thermal conductivity. And so on are the advantages of graphene, but what no one has ever told the world is that these advantages almost only exist in the laboratory or at the microscopic level.

Those excellent properties either exist only on PPT paper, or only exist in the laboratory, or can only be possessed by very perfect graphene.

For example, the excellent mechanical properties of graphene, which everyone must have heard of, surpass steel.

But what no one is telling you is that the purity of graphene is extremely high and requires a special assembly process.

Conventional manufacturing, the mechanical properties of the superimposed graphene actually become similar to graphite, and in this regard, the carbon fiber material is currently stronger, and it can even be said that it kills graphene.

There is no way, the current graphene can't do the kind of mechanical properties on PPT at all.

Or the battery, the capacity of the graphene battery was blown very loudly in the past, comparable to lithium air, stronger than lithium sulfur.

However, in fact, graphene materials have high chemical reactivity and are prone to loss of stability in electrochemical reactions, which will lead to problems such as reduced capacity of electrode materials and shortened battery life.

Of course, if these problems can be solved in the future, graphene can indeed be called the 'king of new materials'.

As for the present, the future still needs to look at development.

However, for Xu Chuan, if the Chuanhai Materials Laboratory can find a way to produce high-quality graphene in large quantities, it is still quite a good pen.

At least, there is no way to industrially produce graphene in the world, and there is a huge gap.

If it can be marketed in batches, graphene can bring him at least billions of meters of gold every year.

In 19 years, the global production of graphene was only 1,200 tons in all countries.

This figure is less than a drop in the bucket compared to the global market's demand for graphene.

And in terms of graphene research, he can also grasp the opportunity.

After all, when the cost comes down, there are naturally people who are willing to continue to invest in it.

After waiting for a while, Fan Pengyue finished controlling the steps in his hand and handed over the follow-up experiments to the assistant who gave him a hand.

"What's the situation? Why did it suddenly break through? Looking at the master bear who took off his experimental gloves and walked over, Xu Chuan asked curiously.

Fan Pengyue smiled and replied mysteriously: "This is thanks to one person!" ”

"Who?"

"That little sister of yours."

"Liu Jiaxin?" Xu Chuan was slightly stunned for a moment, and asked with some surprise: "How does the breakthrough of graphene have anything to do with her?" ”

Fan Pengyue said with a smile: "After she came back last year, didn't you ask her to help build a safety protection platform for Chuanhai Materials." Because of the need to communicate with the institute, she often comes here to discuss. ”

"In the second half of this year, when studying the rapid synthesis of graphene discovered in 19 years, the institute encountered some difficulties, and she helped to re-optimize the material model for this part."

"Then through the model, we have recently found a feasible path, which has been verified by supercomputing and computational models, and it is feasible for production."

"So at present, the entire graphene department is working overtime to do experiments, and I don't have to integrate materials to report to you."

"But if you don't come, I should almost contact you in the next two days."

Xu Chuan nodded suddenly and said, "So that's the case." ”

Fan Pengyue asked with some curiosity: "Speaking of which, what is the relationship between you and that junior sister?" Can you get her to do me a favor? ”

"How can you help?" Xu Chuan asked curiously.

"Ask her to help optimize the material calculation model." Fan Pengyue said: "You know, as more and more data on the mechanism of materials is added, the volume of the model you made before will become larger and more bloated. ”

"In fact, it is already quite large now, and every operation requires a considerable amount of computing power, if it is not for the fact that it can now provide huge computing power with the help of the newly built supercomputer of NTU, the research institute will not be able to bear it."

"The computing power of the supercomputing power on the side of NTU is also limited, and it is impossible for the school to divide all the computing power for us to use. If we continue to expand like this, I'm afraid we will have to build our own supercomputer. ”

"Although the research institute has been trying its best to optimize, its ability is limited after all. Coupled with the complexity and confidentiality of this thing, it was difficult to recruit the right people to optimize it. ”

"Speaking of which, your junior sister is really strong in mathematical modeling, and I feel that you are afraid that you will not be able to compare with her in this regard."

"The graphene computational simulation module we are using now is the architecture she helped reset, and it is about 170 percent higher in computing performance than the one we wrote before."

"That's why I wanted her to help me re-optimize the overall architecture."

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "I'll ask this later, and the optimization of the architecture should indeed be done." ”

After a pause, he continued: "But now you and I will talk about graphene first, how do you mass-produce it?" ”

Compared with the optimization of the computational material model, Xu Chuan will be more curious about how the mass production of high-quality graphene is achieved.

You must know that this thing was not completely industrialized before he was reborn, and the difficulty can be seen, which is quite large.
