Chapter 219 Super Strategic Research Bureau Warrior!
After receiving the notice from the EMC laboratory, the University of Pennsylvania immediately sent someone over to understand the basic situation and take back the experimental materials.
"Professor Lawrence, I remember that a Xia countryman came to you with a paper on topological semimetal semiconductor materials. Is that true?" The head of the EMC laboratory also had to understand the situation first. If the experimental materials were given to the wrong person, it would take longer to reverse engineer the material.
Fortunately, Professor Lawrence nodded: "You are talking about Tan Ming, he is still doing research here!"
Talking about this, Professor Lawrence was very satisfied. Although Tan Ming's experimental data was as small as squeezing toothpaste, it really improved the research level of his own materials.
But something strange has happened recently. The research seems to have hit a bottleneck, and there seems to be something wrong with Tan Ming's condition.
When Lawrence thought of this, he suddenly felt bad again. Tan Ming was really greedy. He wanted money for everything, and a lot of it! If he hadn't coveted the experimental data in his hands, he would have kicked him out long ago.
EMC and Professor Lawrence of Penn State University comprehensively evaluated the complexity of the analysis work, and both parties finally decided to bring the materials back to the University of Pennsylvania for analysis.
Because EMC's laboratory is more inclined towards the actual production process, the laboratory of the University of Pennsylvania is more inclined towards basic principles and the equipment is more suitable.
However, EMC had equipment that could be used, but Pininfarina did not, so the two sides were discussing such details. By the time they finished discussing, two days had passed.
Lawrence returned to the University of Pennsylvania with the materials and immediately called Tan Ming over. After explaining the task, he looked at Tan Ming with anticipation.
Tan Ming was in no mood to look at Lawrence and just subconsciously took on the task.
When he tested the damaged memory materials, he felt terrible.
“This is impossible! Lu Shan actually developed a topological semimetal semiconductor and even put it into production and achieved mass production! I…” Tan Ming was furious and didn’t know how to vent his anger.
"All of this originally belonged to me! The honor and property, but now it's been taken away by... Lu Shan! I was the one who started this project!"
What Tan Ming thought was indeed correct. Tan Ming had been working on the topological semimetal materials project at Jiangzhou University. He was the first to start research and even had some small breakthroughs, but not to the extent of being able to write a paper on it.
If there had been good progress, Xiaguo Academy of Sciences would have given the project long ago.
After studying the disassembled materials for a few days, Tan Ming was able to completely conclude that this was the idea that everyone had worked out before, but later the Jiangzhou Materials Chemical Team chose another path because they did not trust Lu Shan and missed the opportunity to produce results together.
The little bit of experimental data that Tan Ming obtained in the early stage was enough to make him a big shot in the University of Pennsylvania and enjoy fame and fortune.
But the more this happened, the angrier he became.
What would happen if I got all the experimental data?
Under long-term autistic fantasy, Tan Ming began to slowly combine fantasy and reality, and began to imagine that the new material should have been his own achievement, but was snatched away by Lu Shan.
If he didn't explain it this way, Tan Ming would go crazy immediately. Now he has the symptoms of schizophrenia and has to talk to himself a lot every day to convince himself to accept his own ideas.
The team from the University of Pennsylvania actually called in Tan Ming while doing their own research. After a round of research, they were just as confused as the EMC team. Primary school students couldn't understand the university professor's courses, and the same thing would happen if junior high school students were replaced. The difference is that junior high school students realized they couldn't understand it faster...
The most troublesome thing now is that the academic system used for the materials obtained is completely different from that of traditional semiconductors.
The University of Pennsylvania team was at a loss and had to place all their hopes on Tan Ming.
In order to help Tan Ming achieve results quickly, Binfa even gave Tan Ming a relatively independent and quiet space where he could do whatever he wanted without having to punch in or report. He just had to do his research.
Tan Ming was indeed much stronger than this group of people. He spent three days studying them and realized that he couldn't understand them.
It only took Tan Ming five hours to... realize that he couldn't understand it.
"Dear Mr. Tan Ming, do you have any ideas here?" Lawrence held his breath and finally couldn't help asking Tan Ming. The implication was that you were the one who came up with this thing, so how come you don't have any ideas after so long? You have experimental data and papers in hand, but you can't even analyze the materials?
Tan Ming was extremely panicked. He could not directly admit that he did not understand, nor could he admit that there were problems with his paper.
The materials team of the University of Pennsylvania conducted research based on the real preliminary data and the paper they provided. In this case, if they said that there was a problem with their paper, they would definitely be criticized.
Seeing that Lawrence was getting suspicious, Tan Ming quickly explained: "Some contents of this memory stick have been changed. It is not made of the original materials, so reverse analysis will take longer. I left Xia Country and came to the United States. It is impossible for them to continue using the original materials." Lawrence thought about it and it made sense. The defectors took away the technology, so they must change the preparation process, methods and processes, otherwise their weaknesses would be discovered and targeted.
"Then can't it be made according to the original technology?"
"It's difficult. After all, they are just laboratory products and are still a long way from entering the production process."
“Why has the Shenchuan computer been mass-produced?”
"Perhaps we have found a more suitable method for mass production, otherwise it would be impossible to mass produce it."
"No, Xia's supercomputer is better than the US's. If the original materials are not good, how can it achieve this?"
"I just happened to get some of it. There's only a little bit in stock, and it'll be gone once it's used up." Tan Ming's ability to talk nonsense was already strong, and it became even stronger after coming to the United States. Here, no one has a mouth that can deceive ghosts, and he would have been kicked out of Mercedes-Benz long ago.
There was no loophole in this explanation, and Lawrence really had no way to ask for anything, so he had to take a step back: "Then you can get the materials according to the original idea and make some samples according to the memory stick style of BanSi. Don't you have the information?"
"My information is actually not complete. I left in such a hurry that I only got about half of it." What Tan Ming actually got was only the initial part, probably less than one percent.
"Then report what you know and we'll find a solution together!" Lawrence took the opportunity to make such a request, and Tan Ming could not refuse. If he refused again, he would be exposed.
So Tan Ming extracted some details from Lu Shan's academic report, added his own understanding, and combined it with previous data, and he made a very decent presentation.
When he saw that the foreigners in the audience were listening very seriously, he felt less nervous. If these foreigners still couldn't figure it out, he would say it was an equipment problem!
Anyway, just keep delaying until you transfer all your property to Europe and accumulate enough wealth to live a glorious second half of your life!
In fact, Tan Ming already had a lot of wealth in his hands. If he was willing to live a low-key life in Europe, he would definitely be comfortable. But he just held his breath, thinking that one day he would be able to develop topological semimetal semiconductor materials and prove himself!
But he didn't have the confidence, so he transferred his property secretly.
With such a lifestyle, it would be strange if people didn’t become divided!
"...Here we must pay attention to the topological defects of the materials during the reaction! Simply put, it is the serious consequences caused by the overreaction of the materials. There are so many processes that cannot be wrong!" Tan Mingren gave a lecture to the foreigners, which frightened them. If I can't figure it out in the future, I can still use this as an excuse. I am really smart.
The academic report was finished, but Professor Lawrence was not very satisfied. He was a capable man and could tell that the information was incomplete and many key things were missing. If we continued like this, we would have to step into many pitfalls and make progress only by trying little by little. How long would it take to get it done?
Once we have developed it, what level will Xia Country’s similar materials be at?
So Professor Lawrence went directly to talk to Tan Ming.
"Dear Mr. Tan Ming, could you try to get some more information? According to your report, we still have a lot of work to do. If we can reduce the research and development time, it would be great!" Lawrence looked sincere.
Tan Ming actually had this plan. His data would not last long. If he did not think of a solution, he would be exposed.
"This matter is very difficult. Since I have left Xia Country, the persecution against me in Xia Country has not ended yet. They have been monitoring and investigating people who are close to me. How can I get the information?" Tan Ming did not agree immediately, but complained and stated the difficulty. This was a bargaining tactic.
Lawrence naturally understood what this guy meant, and he generously advised: "People close to you are being investigated? That is really an appalling persecution, and I deeply regret it. But we can start with people who are not so close to us. I believe that everyone has value, it just depends on how much. How much money do you need to open up the relationship?"
"Three million rice knives!" Tan Ming quoted the price without even thinking, and Lawrence was even stunned.
Tan Ming explained: "Once this kind of thing is discovered, this person will not be able to stay in Xia Country, so it takes so much money to impress people. In addition, it is very difficult to obtain information, and it is even more difficult to bribe such people if you want to convince the middle and high-level officials of the college who have a certain amount of power."
Lawrence also understood the price of making someone a traitor, so he agreed immediately.
As long as this material is produced, the money earned in the future will be calculated in billions. A few million rice knives are indeed not a lot.
"Then how do you plan to get the information, Mr. Tan Ming? Can you do it through the Internet? If you need technical support, we have professionals to help you."
"This may not work. The laboratory data are all in the local area network and are not connected to the external network. The same is true for the University of Pennsylvania." Tan Ming said as he suddenly thought of a key point.
