Chapter 170: The ultimate killer! New semiconductor materials
"Success! Success! The test results are completely consistent!" In the Materials Chemistry Laboratory of Jiangzhou University, a person's cheering voice was heard late at night. Zhang Lingxi was so happy that he took off, while Lu Shan calmly recorded the data and compared it again until he finally confirmed it, then nodded.
Zhang Lingxi was halfway happy when she saw Lu Shan was calm, and instantly it was like a car slamming on the brakes.
Lu Shan nodded and ignited her emotions again: "Great! Success!"
The lark-like voice also infected Lu Shan. Lu Shan smiled slightly, then organized the data and filled it into the paper.
The entire framework of the paper has already been built and can be completed with the data.
Soon, Zhang Lingxi felt a little embarrassed. She was the only one who was happy, but Lu Shan was extremely calm.
She was very curious: "Why aren't you smiling? Aren't you excited at all? The experiment was successful."
"Every step I take is logical, and success is inevitable. If I fail today, I won't be discouraged. Moreover, we are still a little short of complete success. Our partial theories have all been verified, and we need to go through the entire process again."
"..." Zhang Lingxi felt that Lu Shan was like a robot. He was very patient.
Two days later, at 11 o'clock in the morning, a burst of exclamations broke out in the laboratory of the School of Materials and Chemistry.
"Hahaha! We succeeded!"
"Finally it worked!"
"Wait, let me look at the data again. Yes, it's correct, hahaha! It really worked!"
"That scared me to death. Next time, check before cheering, like now!"
Zhang Lingxi saw the people from the materials and chemistry team dancing and jumping around, and actually felt a little speechless and funny. What was the point of so many people coming up with a result? Lu Shan came up with it all by himself.
"That's strange. Is there really more than one way to success?" Zhang Lingxi couldn't figure it out.
Soon, the materials chemistry team informed Dean Shen Yanchun of the good news and decided to hold a summary meeting, which was actually a meeting to reward people based on their contributions, to determine who had made the greatest contribution, and then to rank them in order when signing their names on the papers.
You also need to mention who came up with what idea and what they did. At least pay overtime pay and performance bonus first. They have worked so hard for so long, so they deserve a reward.
"Then should we still ask Lu Shan to come over? He is not from the materials chemistry team, so if there is any reward, it should be given by the School of Mathematics, right?" A member raised this question.
"How can we not invite him? We have achieved results, which is a slap in his face! Bonuses and performance bonuses should also be given to him. After all, this is a project he brought about. But the details still depend on his contribution. Let's discuss it."
This made everyone laugh. What is there to discuss? Isn't it up to them to discuss among themselves whether to say more or less?
Upon learning that Jiangzhou University's materials chemistry team had also come up with results, Lu Shan didn't care at all and quickly came up with a mathematical model. It was really laughable that so many people were working together and using experimental equipment for a long time, but they still couldn't come up with results quickly.
However, Lu Shan was not sure whether the final result was right or not.
The summary meeting was very lively, and Shen Yanchun and other deans and vice-deans were invited.
Tan Mingzhi gave his report with great pride. In a trance, he saw applause, flowers and himself speaking in front of the whole country. Many members in the audience also saw various awards and honors being bestowed upon him.
Suddenly, Tan Ming saw Lu Shan's calm face, and he felt uncomfortable: "Lu Shan is still like this now, his face must be swollen from being slapped!"
However, Tan Ming's mood soon improved. He had achieved some results. Even if Lu Shan brought the project over, it would not be of much significance.
Dean Shen Yanchun was very happy. The results meant that he could participate in more projects of the Academy of Sciences in the future. He would have achievements to his superiors and to his subordinates, and everything would go smoothly.
After the brief report, the academic report began. Tan Ming talked about his own contributions intentionally or unintentionally, constantly saying the word "I", and sometimes he would mention members with whom he had a good relationship.
Lu Shan smiled sincerely at this time, and Tan Ming's face changed instantly, but he held it back.
After the explanation, there was warm applause in the venue, and Shen Yanchun also applauded.
In fact, this should be an academic exchange, not a commendation meeting. It is unheard of that the nature of the meeting has changed.
"Do you think there is any problem with this report?" Shen Yanchun himself did not hear any problem. He felt that the feasibility was very high and those numbers were very good and within the feasible range.
"I don't think it's right!" Zhang Lingxi stood up excitedly. If they started working according to this conclusion, it would definitely waste a lot of resources, money and time. This report was far from Lu Shan's results, and there must be something wrong with the result.
"Excuse me, who are you?" Shen Yanchun was a little curious about when a young talent appeared in his college.
Ever since he met Lu Shan, he subconsciously felt that young people of this era are all at this level.
In the past, I would never have thought of this.
"I am..." Before Zhang Lingxi could say anything, Tan Ming spoke up, "Nonsense, how can you, an undergraduate, say this?"
"But your report does have too many loopholes. Many experimental models were used directly without a definition of benignity. The results obtained in this way are unreliable and are far different from Lu Shan's..."
Shen Yanchun frowned as he read the report. What Zhang Lingxi said caught his attention. From an academic point of view, he should take a closer look at it.
Unexpectedly, the other members of the team quit one after another. The name Lu Shan made them go crazy.
"What's going on? How much do you know about materials science and mathematics?"
"Why didn't you tell us what you were doing in the lab? Why did you have to tell us now to attract attention!" "Young man, study hard and don't be as ambitious as some people!"
The voices were so loud that Shen Yanchun on the stage had to maintain order: "Everyone, please be quiet. Academic exchanges require people to speak out. Student, please share your views."
At this time, Zhang Lingxi could no longer speak and was crying like a tearful person.
She had never encountered such an intense confrontational scene before. She felt aggrieved as soon as she opened her mouth. What else could she say?
At this time, Lu Shan stood up and everyone fell silent because Lu Shan's face looked very bad.
"Student Lu Shan, what do you think?" Shen Yanchun looked at Lu Shan.
Lu Shan said calmly but seriously: "I don't want to discuss any academic issues now, I just want to talk about literacy issues! Academic discussions have different voices. You just bully a girl like this? You scold her so hard that she dares not speak, and you think you win? Everyone has the right to speak freely. You are so ungraceful."
"If you are really so confident, you shouldn't be afraid. A great man once said that the truth becomes clearer the more it is debated. You are actually taking a cognitive backwards approach!"
"I don't have much to say about this paper, but I do have a different opinion. I hope you will be more careful. Some of the errors are quite obvious."
"By the way, just as Dean Shen originally arranged, I only provided the calculation model and was a tool like a calculator. The experimental process and procedure have nothing to do with me. Please don't write my name on the paper."
After saying that, Lu Shan didn't care about these people's reactions. He pulled Zhang Lingxi outside. They couldn't stay in this shabby place for even a second.
At this moment, the conference room exploded!
"What does this Lu Shan mean!"
"You didn't write his name, and you thought we wanted to write his name?"
Zhang Lingxi no longer had any opinion of her own. She followed Lu Shan subconsciously. She didn't like the atmosphere here and just wanted to leave.
After Lu Shan took her out of the venue, he wandered around and came to a milk tea shop and ordered a cup of milk tea.
Seeing Zhang Lingxi crying and then looking at Lu Shan who was ordering, the clerk showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. It must be that the young couple was having a temper tantrum and the boyfriend was trying to coax them.
When the clerk gave Lu Shan the milk tea, he whispered, "Brother, I'll give you more ingredients! Please your girlfriend!"
Lu Shan was too lazy to explain anything and could only say thank you.
"Don't cry, the dust is all over your face, you look like a cat."
"Ah?" Zhang Lingxi frantically looked for wet wipes and quickly cleaned herself up.
This girl doesn't wear makeup or have her nails done. She is very simple and pure. Academics don't have the time for such things.
"They are too much. They actually bullied a little girl. Don't cry. Look at this cup of milk tea. It's big and heavy. The pearls inside are so many and round..."
Zhang Lingxi laughed after hearing this: "If you don't know how to coax people, then don't do it. I'm your senior! It sounds like you're coaxing a child."
"Everyone is their own little princess. Drink it. It won't taste good if it gets hot."
"Why did you only order one cup? I have money." Then he stood up and went to help Lu Shan.
"No, this stuff is high in sugar and will make you fat."
"Then give me some! Hate it..."
After teasing Zhang Lingxi for a while, she calmed down and asked, "What should we do next? They will submit the paper to the Academy of Sciences soon. Do we really have to proceed in this way?"
Lu Shan pondered for a moment and felt that the matter could not develop in this way.
If we follow the School of Materials and Chemistry's idea, the cost will definitely be unacceptably high. The wear and tear of equipment and the waste of resources will be heartbreaking. The most important thing is that it will waste Xia Guo's time in this regard.
The School of Materials Science and Engineering's idea is incorrect. The same result will cost more. The Xiaguo Academy of Sciences has integrated this idea into the overall result, which has really done more harm than good.
And the final result still can't be figured out.
After returning, Lu Shan and Zhang Lingxi stayed in the laboratory all day. The materials chemistry team had all gone on holiday, so the laboratory was empty, which gave Lu Shan the opportunity to use the laboratory.
This time, Lu Shan started from scratch, experimenting one node at a time, constantly recording the process, and comparing the models again.
Lingxi simply lived in the laboratory and guarded it all day long. If Lu Shan had to go out for something, she would be on duty day and night.
The two people worked together and helped each other, and the experiment soon came to an end.
When the results came out, Zhang Lingxi was so nervous that he almost forgot to breathe.
After comparison, the whole process is consistent with the previous one.
Zhang Lingxi finally laughed out loud.
Through relevant research on topological semimetals, the two of them developed a platinum-tin-iron alloy thin film material, which has the potential to generate larger memory space and stronger computing power while consuming less energy.
The electrons in these materials behave in different ways, giving them unique properties not found in common insulators and metals. As such, they are an alternative to traditional semiconductor devices that use the spin of electrons rather than their charge to store data and process information.
This technology can be applied to new chips in the next era and has a bright future.
