Out of the office door, Meng Mao and Yin Yulian's eyes widened, looking at Chu Hao as if they were looking at aliens.

Chu Hao rubbed his nose, his heart was full of embarrassment, as for looking at him like this, he didn't have three heads and six arms.

"Teacher Chu, are you really Chu Hao?" Yin Yulian looked at Chu Hao and asked timidly.

"It's like a fake. Chu Hao said helplessly.

Meng Mao and Yin Yulian's faces both showed a look of excitement.

Chu Hao felt that his two cheap students were already stupid in their heads, and Shi Lao had introduced all three generations of his ancestors and grandchildren in the office, so what was there to be excited about now.

"Teacher Chu, do we really want to study graphene?" Meng Mao asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

Chu Hao nodded.

The two of them instantly became even more excited, they really didn't make a mistake, this was just a student for Chu Hao, and they were able to get in touch with a big project like graphene.

Not to mention that Chu Haozhen has researched it, it is how many points and corners of the research have come out, and as assistants, the participants are also infinitely useful.

Moreover, Chu Hao is a big bull who has published three academic journals in Science, and Chu Hao is their mentor, so if they want to publish papers in international journals at that time, wouldn't it be easy.

They don't have high requirements, they don't want to think about the three major academic journals, and they are already very satisfied if they can exceed the impact factor of 5.

"There's no need to be so excited, whether you can study it or not, maybe. ”

Seeing that his two cheap students were too excited and a little too jumpy, Chu Hao decided to knock them down.

No matter what the name is right or not, since he is now their mentor, he should be responsible for them, and he must be sure that he is sure of the graphene project, but not all scientific research projects can be as easy and casual as his own projects.

It can be said that the success of all scientific research projects is very difficult, hard, and has to face countless pressures, the progress of the project is slow, there is no clue to find a solution, the rupture of scientific research funds, the flow of personnel, the lack of equipment, the competitive pressure brought by other scientific research institutions, and the fear of not being able to make all the hard work in vain, etc.

Not to mention the difficulty of selecting a topic, the pain of checking information and literature all night, and doing experiments.

A good researcher will basically work more than twice the normal working hours per week, which is 80 hours.

Only researchers who work more than 80 hours a week can be said to be true researchers.

And if Meng Mao and Yin Yulian are allowed to develop a very easy habit of scientific research, this will definitely not be good for their future, and it will even ruin their scientific research life.

"Yes, Teacher Chu. ”

Chu Hao's words were like pouring a basin of cold water on their heads, and the two of them suddenly sobered up a lot.

"Well, starting today, you're going to start looking at all the papers on graphene decomposition in major journals and putting them together with me. Chu Hao said.

Meng Mao and Yin Yulian were a little dumbfounded when they heard this, usually not the mentor told them to go to those journals to find information, this came to Chu Hao, how did it become that they were looking for information for Chu Hao, and they felt a little upside down.

However, since Chu Hao had already given the order, they could only do it.

As a graduate student, it can be said that the supervisor is their heaven, and not being able to satisfy their supervisor is definitely more painful than the sky falling.

Chu Hao returned to his office in the research institute, as the deputy director of the research institute, he could naturally have an office, and the conditions were better than Shi Lao's office, about more than twenty square meters, and there was a cubicle in it, which could be used as a lounge.

There is no way, Shi Lao is broken, because Shi Lao refuses to move the office, otherwise the University of the Academy of Sciences will not even be able to arrange an office with good conditions for an academician.

Soon, Meng Mao and Yin Yulian were like ants moving, copying a bunch of papers on graphene from various journals, and soon piled up half of Chu Hao's desk.

As a popular project in the scientific research community, graphene has many researchers, and naturally there are many papers, but these papers are just scratching the surface, and there are more papers waiting for Meng Mao and Yin Yulian to carry them.

Gradually, Chu Hao's choice of graphene decomposition as his scientific research project spread throughout the research institute.

Everyone is a materials scientist, and we have been dealing with materials all our lives, so we don't know the existence of graphene, which is known as the king of materials in the 21st century, and how difficult it is.

It can be said that such a famous scientific research institution in the world, materials scientists have not studied it, and its difficulty can be seen, and Chu Hao wants to study it, which is simply a fantasy.

They admit Chu Hao's talent, no matter how low-cost titanium alloy is put on their body, it is enough for them to eat a lifetime of scientific research results, but with Chu Hao himself, if he wants to research out graphene decomposition technology, it is really too difficult and difficult.

Because compared with other scientific research institutions, Chu Hao's disadvantages are too great.

Age itself is a hard injury, and scientific research results sometimes do rely on a flash of inspiration, but more often than not, like ants gnawing on elephants, step by step, to solve problems in the process of scientific research, and finally reach the other side of success.

Experience plays a large part of the equation, because only experienced researchers have more ways to solve the problems encountered in scientific research projects.

It is difficult for inexperienced researchers to solve difficulties, which has nothing to do with talent, but with knowledge, and without so much knowledge, they naturally can't think of so many solutions.

In addition, there is the problem of the team, other scientific research institutions, the scientific research team that studies graphene, and the person who is not equivalent to the level of Huaxia academician as the leader, and then a bunch of big bulls and calves as assistants.

And Chu Hao's own strength is enough, but what about his subordinates?

What's the use of just two graduate students, and they have transferred from another department, or even studied chemistry and physics in college.

This is not to say that those who study chemistry and physics cannot make materials, after all, there are many masters of materials science who have transferred from chemistry and physics, and sometimes they have an advantage over the students of materials science itself.

Because materials science is a very complex discipline, the overall threshold is too low, the learning is miscellaneous and shallow, the training plan is more inclined to engineering than science research, the employment is biased towards enterprise process technical supervisors, the participation in enterprise research and development is less, and there are few top scholars engaged in materials.

In addition to the fundamentals of materials science, students should also learn such as functional materials, metal materials, inorganic non-materials, and polymer materials, as well as solid state physics in physics, physical chemistry in chemistry, mechanical drawing in mechanics, etc. It seems that all kinds of materials, physics, chemistry, machinery, and even some biology have been studied, but all of them are superficial.

Because of the reason that it is too complicated, it is not as deep as those who specialize in chemistry and physics, after all, chemical materials and physical materials are two completely different directions, even if you don't know much about each other's disciplines, it doesn't matter.

In other words, most of the things that students learn in materials science are useless.

It is said that Meng Mao and Yin Yulian have an advantage, but after all, they are only students in the first year, if there is a senior in the third year or a doctorate, they can still make something out, and obviously they are the founding disciples of Chu Hao, they have nothing, and they have to hold the journal all day long to make up for knowledge.

When Chu Hao can use them, I don't know when it will be, and the people in the research institute are basically not optimistic about this.

The rest is a question of support, developed countries generally have much more scientific research funding than Huaxia, and since as a developed country, it is in the leading position in the academic world, and it has become more accustomed to investing money in unknown areas, in other words, it is more willing to invest money in unknown projects.

And there is also a more general acceptance of failure, failure is failure, and exploring the unknown is inherently a great possibility of failure.

However, China is more accustomed to studying the science and technology that has been developed in developed countries, and then praises it as filling the gap in China.

Of course, it's not that this is bad, any late-developing country, if you want to grow rapidly, the word cottage is indispensable, Germany is like this, and the East is also like this, and it can even be said that the Asian Four Little Tigers and the Four Little Tigers have developed in this way.

After all, if there is money, who doesn't want to study some internationally leading topics, once the research is out, it will be fame and fortune, unlike now, when the research is studied, it will be studied, at most it will be commended internally, and the results will be thrown into the waste paper heap.

Even if a paper is published, no one will cite it, it is just a piece of waste paper, which is at most a little useful when evaluating the title.

However, I believe that one day, Huaxia will also come to the moment when it will invest its funds in the unknown on a large scale, maybe 20 or 30 years?

But at least at this point now, the state will not give Chu Hao too much support, after all, once graphene is decomposed, its method must be known to the whole world, and it is impossible to be privately hidden, so if Huaxia does not study it by itself, it is just like that.

Moreover, if Chu Hao is the first to study it, it will be better, this is to win glory for the country, and spending money will cost money, which is completely worth it, but if it is not researched, or it is preempted, wouldn't it be that the money is wasted, and it will have no effect at all.

Therefore, based on their understanding of the urine above, it can already be concluded that the possibility of Chu Hao applying for scientific research funds is basically zero.

However, now Shi Lao is working hard for Chu Hao's matter, maybe with Shi Lao's face, he can apply for some scientific research funds.

Professor Ray's office.

At this time, there were three or four professors in their early forties, all of whom were sitting in Professor Lei's office.

"Professor Lei, you know about Shi Lao's application for funding for Chu Hao, right?" Professor Hu said.

Professor Lei nodded and said calmly, "I know." ”

"Then why don't you persuade Shi Lao, for a project like this that is not in the plan, we all know how difficult it is to apply for funding, doesn't this keep Shi Lao busy. Professor Hu said eagerly.

The remaining two or three professors also responded with nonsense.

Professor Lei's eyes narrowed, sweeping over everyone's faces one by one, and Professor Hu suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if there was something fierce in Professor Lei's eyes, and he couldn't help lowering his head.

Professor Hu bowed his head, and other professors, associate professors and others couldn't bear it.

You must know that although they are all professors, there is no doubt that there is a hierarchy between them, and they are also considered good professors in universities, but they are far worse than Professor Lei.

Professor Lei is not only the leader of major scientific research projects, but also enjoys the special allowance of the Political Affairs Hall, and it is still possible to hang the title of academician if he stays up for another ten or eight years.

If Chu Hao hadn't been born out of nowhere this time, the new deputy director of the institute would have been Professor Lei.

In fact, they are just Professor Lei's assistants, in charge of sub-projects under the big project, otherwise they would not have gathered in Professor Lei to discuss.

Professor Lei only felt a burst of depression in his heart, and he naturally knew what Professor Hu meant when they came to his office to say these words.

Maybe I'm really worried about Shi Lao, but most of them are just competing interests.

To put it bluntly, it's still money.

You must know that the biggest advantage of the institute is actually that Shi Lao is in charge.

With Shi Lao here, the difficulty of them applying for scientific research funds is undoubtedly much more relaxed, and the people above look at Shi Lao's face, which is very different, and they will not cut too much.

And this seems to have nothing to do with Shi Lao's application for funds for Chu Hao, but the relationship inside is big.

Everyone here knows very well that if Chu Hao wants to apply for the funds of the graphene project now, it is undoubtedly that Shi Lao is relying on his own face, and if he can apply for funds, it means that Shi Lao's face has been greatly consumed.

What results will this lead to, it is likely to mean that the difficulty of them to apply for scientific research funding will be greatly increased, you must know that the face is counted, since people have bought Shi Lao's face in graphene funds, it means that they don't have to buy Shi Lao's face for them, so the difficulty of their application for funds will naturally increase.

If it's usual, forget it, when everyone usually has little money, they don't rely on Shi Lao's face.

But this time is different, Chu Hao's graphene project this time is really unusual, there is no plan to study graphene, and if you want to study it, there is no doubt that you need to have a lot of investment, and the initial investment may cost tens of millions, and the possibility of success is too small.

Originally, the research of graphene decomposition projects was difficult, but now that the time, place and people are not available, natural success will be even more impossible.

In this way, if Shi Lao really asked for graphene scientific research funds for Chu Hao, then it would mean that Shi Lao's face would be greatly consumed.

It can even be said that this is equivalent to snatching tens of millions of scientific research funds from them, so can they not be in a hurry.
