knocked on the door, and when Shi Lao spoke, Chu Hao directly pushed the door in.

When I went in, in addition to Shi Lao, there was a middle-aged man in his forties, Chu Hao didn't recognize it very well, but he felt that he seemed to have seen it, and it should also be from the Institute of Metal Materials.

As soon as the middle-aged man saw Chu Hao, his whole face instantly pulled down, and there was a sense of envy, jealousy and hatred in his eyes.

Chu Hao suddenly looked helpless, yes, it seems that he is here, he is really disgusted with ghosts, and he is not pleasing to the eye.

Shi Lao paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "You kid still know to come back, if you don't come back, I'm afraid I'll have to report the missing person." ”

Hearing this, Chu Hao smiled wryly, "That's okay, I didn't report it as soon as I was free." ”

"You sit down by yourself, I have something to tell Professor Ray. Shi Lao said.

Chu Hao nodded, and then found a stool to sit down.

After ten minutes of talking, Professor Lei took his leave and walked past Chu Hao with an expressionless face, as if Chu Hao did not exist.

"How do you feel, don't blame me for roasting you on the fire?" Shi Lao pointed to the door and said to Chu Hao with a smile.

Shi Lao refers to the cold reception and white eyes that Chu Hao received in the research institute.

Chu Hao shrugged helplessly, "That's not enough, the people in the institute are also very good, at least the unhappiness is directly written on the face, this is better than the person who writes the unhappiness in his heart and then smiles on the surface, the kind of person who will secretly stab others at any time." ”

Shi Lao smiled dumbly, and after a few breaths, he shook his head, "I don't know, I thought your kid was the same age as me, he was old and sophisticated, and he didn't know the fallacies and heresies he learned from there." ”

Chu Hao smiled and did not speak.

"Okay, I won't talk to you so much, you will disappear for two months, disrupt my plans, and the scientific research funds that were originally left for you will not be retained, all of them will be divided, what can you do?"

Chu Hao rubbed his nose, he really didn't expect Shi Lao to really let him engage in scientific research, and even prepared research funds for him.

However, Chu Hao really doesn't care if he has scientific research funds, after all, his few achievements, it seems that when he made low-cost titanium alloys, he spent one or two hundred thousand, it was like no business, he really didn't need scientific research funds, besides, if he really wanted to study something, could he still hope that the scientific research funds in the institute would not succeed?

You must know that he, the so-called deputy director, is not justified in his name, and the most important thing is that he should have been just a graduate student, according to the convention, that is, a layman's life, it would be good to be able to give 500 yuan to do independent research, and the 500 yuan is still offset by materials, and he will definitely not be given a discovery gold.

It is important to know that the composition of scientific research funds is usually the implementation of the national high-tech research and development plan.

The distribution of scientific research funds has been changed from being directly distributed to various research units, but now it is issued after project review.

What does it mean, that is, scientific researchers need to apply to the superior for scientific research projects, and then there are funds in the project, and if there is no project, or the project audit is not passed, then sorry, there will be no funds, the funding of the research unit is at most a salary and benefits, scientific research or something, you don't have to think too much, you can only maintain basic scientific research projects, every time you allocate scientific research funds, it can basically be said that you have to break your head to get it.

In other words, if Chu Hao wants to have scientific research funds, he must have a project, and the project must be reviewed and approved.

As for the amount of funding, it depends on the importance of the project and the degree of review, if it is a national key project, it is the standard to eat the imperial food, as long as the project progress meets the goal, the funds are absolutely enough, if you overspend, you can apply again.

Of course, there are definitely not many such projects, basically only academician-level existences can get involved, and it has nothing to do with Chu Hao.

And the rest is the special scientific research expenses of the ministries and commissions, which are naturally not as good as taking money directly from the Ministry of Finance, but they can be regarded as guaranteed to eat imperial grain.

Then the provincial and municipal third-level units where the institute or laboratory is located will also have a scientific research fund to apply for, and how much this can apply for depends on the local support and the level of the laboratory itself.

Laboratories at the county level, at the municipal level, and at the provincial and ministerial levels will all have corresponding local government grants, while national-level laboratories will naturally be funded by the Ministry of Finance.

If it is a laboratory under a university, the university itself has a fund such as the School of Physics, and there will be a grant to apply for, but it is not much, and it is basically about the same level as the funding given by the institute.

Therefore, people like Chu Hao, who have no level, no projects, and no independent laboratory, can only rely on the little scientific research funds allocated by the institute.

But Chu Hao estimated that Shi Lao could squeeze out two or three hundred thousand yuan for him at most to do the project, and to be honest, he didn't look down on this money, and it was not enough for him to buy ginseng.

And just this amount of money, because he didn't show his head in the past two months, was robbed by others, which shows the tightness of scientific research funds.

Chu Hao said indifferently: "No, it's gone, I'll just follow you, anyway, I'm also your student, it's normal to give you a hand." ”

Seeing Chu Hao's indifferent appearance, Shi Lao really couldn't cry or laugh, he had seen someone who broke his head for the sake of funds, and he had never seen something like Chu Hao.

And this kind of days when you have funds and can do research independently, I don't know how many scientific researchers dream of it, but when it comes to Chu Hao, he is so disdainful.

However, he also knew that Chu Hao really didn't care about scientific research funds, not to mention that when Chu Hao had nothing, he could still develop low-cost titanium alloys by himself, not to mention that he was worth hundreds of millions of dollars now.

Others don't know, but he knows how much titanium alloy the military has bought from Chu Hao in the past year.

Shi Lao glanced at Chu Hao, "I have prepared 500,000 for you, are you really not impressed?"

Chu Hao grinned, 500,000 is really a lot, he originally thought that Shi Lao could prepare two or three hundred thousand for him at most, but he didn't expect it to be doubled, which shows how much Shi Lao values him.

"I'm really not impressed, not to mention that these two boxes of cordyceps are worth more than 500,000, I donated 10 million buildings before, which are 200,000 and a half million, and I can still be moved by these 500,000. Chu Hao lit up the cordyceps in his hand and said with a smile.

"More than 500,000 cordyceps?" Shi Lao paused for a moment, and then smiled: "Okay, let it go." ”

The corners of Chu Hao's mouth twitched violently, "You don't say that you are humble twice, and you have to praise me for the worst of all, just say it casually, let it go." The 500,000 you were like a baby just now, and you asked me if I was tempted, this treatment is too bad. ”

"This 500,000 is just a drop in the bucket for you kid, what is there to say. Shi Lao said nonchalantly.

The corners of Chu Hao's mouth twitched again, all of them were 500,000 yuan, and he paid for it, that is, it was a dime, and Shi Lao's side paid for it, that was the baby who wanted to make his heart move, and there was no reason for it.

Shi Lao said: "Besides, I haven't seen your building yet." ”

"Didn't you see it?" Chu Hao said eagerly.

"Your kid took a leave and disappeared without a trace, and I didn't know when I came back that year, can I tell others that you want to donate the building. Shi Lao glanced at Chu Hao.

"Yes, I'll transfer money now, is there a pos machine in the office?"

"You go back to find the finance of the institute, let's not talk about this, you are also back now, what are you going to study, if the project is not big, I will approve it directly, and then apply for funding on it, if it is a big project, you are preparing now, and there are two months until the end of the solar calendar, and at the beginning of the year, I will find a way to give you funds." Shi Lao said.

According to Shi Lao's meaning, Shi Lao was ready to rely on his own face and come forward to ask for funds for Chu Hao.

But it's also said that if you only rely on Chu Hao himself, you can apply for a three-melon and two-date deal, but don't think about big projects.

And generally speaking, scientific research funds are budgeted at the beginning of each year, after all, this is the time when the finances of various units and departments are the most abundant, and at the end of the year, everyone has no money, even if Shi Lao's face is big, no matter how important Chu Hao's project is, there is no funding for Chu Hao.

It seems that as soon as Shi Lao opened his mouth, he didn't leave the funds in three sentences, and he didn't talk about scientific research at all, as if he was a little unprofessional, but in fact, funding was the most important thing for a general person in charge.

For example, the responsibilities of the general project leader can be divided into two things: the design of the project, the writing and gatekeeping of the article, and the provision of research ideas, and the other thing is to find a way to raise funds.

In general, these two things are equally important for the project leader, and sometimes the second thing is more important than the first.

Because the specific scientific research tasks will be undertaken by countless scientific researchers such as the first author, the second and third authors, including scientific research workers such as masters and doctors.

And funding is the most important thing, there is no ability, but there is no funding, it is not in vain, in addition, academic ability and academic level can be improved by burning funds.

It can be said that sufficient funding is the key to the completion of scientific research projects.

At the level of Shi Lao, he is no longer responsible for any specific projects, and his biggest role is to ask for funds, and from various higher-level departments, he tries his best to ask for funds.

Don't laugh, there are many scientific research units, especially the ones with academicians, who often reach retirement age, or even more than eighty years old, and cannot retire, and it is not that these academicians are unwilling to retire, but that scientific research units do not want these academicians to retire.

Because, if you apply for funding in the name of an academician, there is no doubt that the difficulty of applying for funding has directly changed from hell mode to simple mode.

Therefore, Shi Lao will not leave the funds in three sentences.

"The project is not big, it is not small, by the way, Shi Lao, I don't still have 10 million funds that are useless, it is the compensation given above after the research of low-cost titanium alloy. ”

Chu Hao suddenly remembered that he still had 10 million funds to use it.

"I had already appropriated it. Shi Lao said confidently.

Chu Hao suddenly felt that three black lines slipped down his head, and if he embezzled it, he embezzled it, and he could say it so confidently, and he was also convinced.

Shi Lao continued: "Your 10 million is also a waste in the account, I allocated it to others for research." ”

Chu Hao has been petrified, what a pit.

"Don't talk about that, tell me what project you're going to work on. Shi Lao said with interest.

He had always been worried that Chu Hao's heart was not in scientific research and wasted Chu Hao's own great talent, but he didn't expect Chu Hao to really be ready to do the project, and he suddenly felt that the 500,000 he had prepared for Chu Hao before was a bit less.

But to put it simply, the 500,000 yuan, he was just going to use it for Chu Hao to practice, and he didn't plan that Chu Hao could research any flowers.

If Chu Hao really wants to prepare for any big project, he should prepare well and apply for more funds for Chu Hao.

Chu Hao already felt that life was boring, and said helplessly: "Graphene." ”

"Graphene?" Shi Lao's voice suddenly rose several degrees.

"You're going to study graphene, and you still say that the graphene project is a big project?" Shi Lao was a little excited.

It's no wonder that Shi Lao, you know, Chu Hao is talking about graphene.

Graphene, as the thinnest, strongest, and most conductive and thermally conductive new nanomaterial discovered so far, graphene is known as black gold, the king of new materials, and scientists even predict that graphene will completely change the 21st century. It is very likely to set off a disruptive new technology and new industrial revolution that will sweep the world.

Graphene is one of the strongest materials known at present, and it also has good toughness and can be bent, while reduced graphene modified with hydrogen plasma also has very good strength, with an average modulus of 0.25tpa. Graphite paper, which is composed of graphene flakes, has many pores, making graphite paper very brittle, however, when oxidized to produce functional graphene, graphite paper made from functional graphene is extremely strong and strong.

The carrier mobility of graphene at room temperature exceeds that of silicon materials by a factor of 10, and under certain conditions such as low temperatures, the carrier mobility of graphene can even be as high as 250,000 cm2/(v-s). And unlike many materials, graphene's electron mobility is less affected by temperature changes.

Graphene batteries can be made using this property.

Graphene battery is a new energy battery developed by using the characteristics of lithium ions to shuttle rapidly and heavily between the graphene surface and electrodes.

Graphene batteries are not only small, but they can charge up to 1,000 times faster than ordinary batteries, charging mobile phones and even cars in seconds, while being used to make smaller devices.

The new battery compresses hours of charging time to less than a minute.

It is necessary to know that battery technology is the biggest threshold for the vigorous promotion and development of electric vehicles, and the current battery industry is in the stage where the development of lead-acid batteries and traditional lithium batteries has encountered bottlenecks.

Moreover, the cost of graphene batteries is also extremely low, and the current main method for manufacturing micro capacitors is lithographic printing technology, which requires a lot of manpower and cost, which hinders the commercial application of products. And now all you need is a common DVD recorder, or even at home, to make more than 100 micro graphene supercapacitors on a single disc in 30 minutes using cheap materials.
