Chapter 40: Everything for Graphene (5,000-word chapter)(1/2)
After all, Lu Youyou was just a sophomore, and she naturally couldn't understand the grand idea in her fiancé's mind immediately.
She didn't trust Gu Zhe, but as the closest person, she tried her best to learn more, even if she didn't understand, she tried her best to explain.
"I don't understand what you said, what can I do when I go to Stanford to graduate school? And I have to be so anxious? Husband, I'm not stopping you, I know your choice must make sense.
I also believe that you will not look for other women this year when you go abroad, and you know that you don’t like those white women. But I hope you will fully explain everything you want to do, and I will definitely keep it a secret for you."
Gu Zhe also took a sip of the red wine in front of him: "You need an explanation, I understand, I will give it to you, but if you don't understand the technical details, I'll just explain the general principle.
You should know that Stanford is the best university in the global combination of industry, education and research, and the commercial transformation of scientific research results. In this field, MIT cannot be compared with it.
After all, Stanford is backed by Silicon Valley, and the communication mechanism is very smooth. What new projects and research directions are there in the university every month? You can immediately find the corresponding Silicon Valley companies to claim sponsorship and share the subsequent results of scientific research funds subscription.
There are some things that I have to go to Stanford to pull the banner and recruit foreign professors for my use - I'll just say it, now I'm doing new material technology related to additive technology, and there is a bottleneck.
Before, I made contact lens materials, and relying on my own brain and accumulation, I found a few chemistry madmen from Zhuyuan to work hard and help me do the experiment, and I can do it.
Now I want to make new meltblown materials and layout new grinding-free resin lens materials, which is not something I can do if I find a talented classmate. I believe that my vision can provide strategic directions.
However, the specific experimental team must be upgraded to the master's and doctoral graduates of our school. I plan to look for Professor Zheng from the Academy of Chemical Sciences in the past few days to see if he can match his doctoral and master's seniors who have just graduated during the summer vacation and help me build a new experimental team, high-tech high-poly resin.
In terms of meltblown materials, I also want to find technical backbones from your father's company, and then recruit people from the outside, or even hire a few engineers from upstream Fuso suppliers to come.
Every step forward in my career will require more and more high-end scientific research talents to join in. I must take three steps one step. Otherwise, my career will develop too fast and my team building will not keep up. The leg behind me will be too slow and it will be easy to pull it lightly."
Gu Zhe said this and paused for a moment so that Lu Youyou could digest the truth.
Lu Youyou looked at him in a daze, and after a long time, he asked, "So what? After you've got some Stanford professors to do things for you to ensure that your career continues to be stable? So you want to get into Stanford's circle?"
Gu Zhe rubbed his temples: "You can't say that, I did notice that some projects I plan to lay out in two years, some of the highest precision additive optical research.
Even some high-end 3D printing process materials technology that may be involved in continue to upgrade from meltblown technology, require top foreign experts to join.
It doesn’t have to be from Stanford, but as long as I get a job as a graduate student or a doctorate in Stanford, I’m more likely to be recruited. If I were just an undergraduate graduate of Donghai University, such a boss would be insecure to form a technology company.
Top university professors cannot be recruited by giving money. They also have to look at their career resumes. They are worried that after finding a boss with no future, they will make quick money in a short period of time. If the boss goes bankrupt in the future, they will leave unreliable resume stains and want to go back to become professors at top prestigious universities, the window period will be closed.
Only when you have a Stanford-based Silicon Valley technology company that can be recognized by the circle and work in such a company for a few years will you not be considered by people in the academic world as an "interrupted academic career resume." This is a very realistic problem."
In the science and technology and academia, such implicit discrimination has indeed always existed, and it may be difficult for laymen who do not interfere in this circle.
That is, if a university professor works in a Silicon Valley technology company with a Stanford department for a few years, and if he wants to go back to a top university in the future, the university will not discriminate against him. Most of the time he worked in a Silicon Valley company, he will default to "still doing first-line academic research."
For example, if you have worked in a Silicon Valley company for five years in research and development, it is equivalent to defaulting that you have been a scientific research professor in a top university for three years. Although you have lost two years of discount, you are not considered out of the circle.
But if you go to an ordinary company, it will be more difficult to return to the academic circle in the future. People in the circle will feel that "this guy has already cut off from the academic circle of scientific research" and will fall into the chain of contempt.
So for those who have academic pursuits, if you are not a Stanford-based Silicon Valley company, you may not be able to recruit specific people if you have money. Many of the capable people have backbone and airs.
This recognition is the reputation accumulated by the Stanford Department since the 1970s, and has not been overnight.
This also forms a positive feedback flywheel effect, making the strong stronger and the Matthew effect more obvious, making the Stanford Silicon Valley company look for big research giants, and the big bulls feel alert and relaxed.
Gu Zhe himself can be independent, but he also wants to unite the technology giant for his use. He cannot ignore the feelings of his subordinates. Since that is the case, there is a ready-made ride-sharing to ride, why bother to be pretentious?
The sign value of foreign universities is used to serve Chinese people, and it is not shabby.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Youyou finally understood the twists and turns, and did not make any obstacles. He just felt a little emotionally reluctant.
She had just been Gu Zhe's woman for a month, and when she thought that her fiancé would go abroad for another year in eight months, she would inevitably have the resentment of parting.
She took a deep breath, got up and turned half of the dining table, sat face to face on Gu Zhe's thighs with her legs spread apart, and looked at her coquettishly: "Then you have the most important matters, I'll wait for you and support you. I can't apply to stay in the school this semester.
From today to April next year, I will always be with you. After you go to the United States, I will spend at least three to four months to go abroad to accompany you during winter and summer vacations and other holidays - don't resist! Don't make excuses to hide from me!"
"Don't worry, why would I hide from you? As long as you are not afraid of delaying your studies and failing your studies, you are welcome to come to the United States to check the post at any time." Gu Zhe's eyes were clear and open-minded and staring at his fiancée's fiancée.
Lu Youyou felt relieved and agreed sweetly: "Then let me listen to you. Go and see the villa and the car on the weekend. Just buy the villa and hand over the house after two years. You can also choose the ones.
To be honest, I don’t like the style of villas at the end of the last century either. They are a bit old-fashioned and have bad lighting.”
From the late 1990s to the beginning of this century, the villa area design in Ark City was best, the European style of Jiuxi Rose Garden, south of West Lake Scenic Area.
At that time, the designs were desperately leaning towards French classical style. The patterns of carved columns and eaves were very exquisite, but the windows were small, and the classical houses were not well-lit, so they could only match the French lawn and flowerbed yard.
Lu Youyou lives in his hometown in Mingzhou with this style of villa, which makes her feel a little tired and feels too old.
She wanted the exterior wall of the floor-to-ceiling window, which was hidden among the woods and streams. In summer, she would be shaded by the big trees, and it didn't matter if the windows were bigger. In winter, the leaves fell and became a sun room.
Since Gu Zhe is going abroad, he is not in a hurry to live in a house, but he can wait for the new project he just designed.
Anyway, the villa has a very fast construction cycle, mainly because there are few floors, and it will be built in more than half a year. It can be delivered in batches. Unlike those high-rise buildings, each house has to be built for at least a few years, and all floors must be completed before delivery can be delivered.
Seeing that she was no longer worried about going abroad, Gu Zhe had to be satisfied with these trivial matters in life. At that moment, the two hit it off and unify their opinions.
...
After having a sweet dinner and having agreed to follow-up life plan, the two went back to the off-campus apartment directly. They were blocked by Lu Youyou's aunt a week ago, and they also lived on campus, so they were very unhappy. Taking advantage of the fact that they were a little bit farewell, they just vented it completely.
When my relatives just left, they didn’t even need safety measures. They were completely honest and honest. They had to work hard for half a night. After midnight, Lu Youyou was tortured to death.
Gu Zhe confirmed that the girl was unconscious, so he quietly got up, put on a windbreaker, poured half a glass of ice genus wine, walked to the balcony, thinking about his plan.
During dinner just now, the plan he told Lu Youyou could only be said to be 70% true and 30% false. It was not that he deliberately deceived him, but that some things involved the foresight of the reborn person, which really could not be explained, so they could only be hidden under other purposes.
Gu Zhe is eager to study at Stanford in May next year and start a technology company in Silicon Valley. One of the most important purposes is that he hopes to make a clever name to poach Andre Heim, a professor of Lucia's blood physics at the University of Manchester.
And a 30-year-old doctoral student Konstantin Novosholov who will graduate next year will be graduating from a doctorate.
As for the reasons for digging, laymen may not understand, but those who have a little understanding of the history of physics know that these two people later won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010, and the reason for their award was just an achievement that was urgently published in Nature in July 2004 - these two people first discovered graphene.
Before Gu Zhe was reborn, he engaged in additive processing technology, especially the vapor phase chemical deposition method of graphene-based two-dimensional materials, so of course he knew graphene so much that he could not understand it any longer.
When he was just reborn, Gu Zhe was afraid that he would not have enough time, so he did not expect a better scientific discovery of graphene. However, more than a year after he was reborn, he found that he was walking very fast, and his time and financial resources were on his side, and his ambition gradually expanded.
Of course he knew how important and coincidentally the discovery of "graphene" and the traditional theory that "it is impossible for a two-dimensional material with a monolayer atomic thickness in nature" subverted by the discovery of graphene, as well as the subsequent series of corrections to the principles of microscopic quantum mechanics at the atomic level after the subversion of the theory.
The discovery of this thing is actually not difficult at all. It should be at the end of June 2004. After the scientific research task of that semester, Andreiheim and others took advantage of the end of the semester to do a "tearing tape" experiment.
The multi-layer graphite was glued to a special tape on both sides, and then tear it apart, and the upper and lower tapes were stained with a graphite layer. Then it was repeatedly teared to make the graphite layer thinner and thinner. Finally, it was observed that it could tear out the material that was only atomic thick.
The action of tearing the tape itself is not worthy of winning the Nobel Prize in Physics, but its subversive theory and subsequent research are definitely worth it.
Of course, Gu Zhe could also try to tear the tape before this time in June 2004 to discover this result, but he knew that with his original status, if he was in a hurry, it would be more difficult to publish a high-value paper in the top journal as soon as possible. Moreover, many follow-up research is not his turn, and he will definitely be flocked to it by others.
At that time, I only had a chance discovery of "tearing tape" and still couldn't win the Nobel Prize.
A undergraduate student at Donghai University does not have such a status as a gangster?
So far, the most valuable paper journals submitted by Gu Zhe are just SCI journals in the third tier of the chemistry field, JMC (Material Chemistry) and MRC (Polymer Express).
The content is about the "new material for centrifugal optic grinding contact lenses without optical grinding", and it will be published this month as soon as this month, and the delivery was submitted as early as May when he was quarantined at home. Because he lacked qualifications, he was ranked as JMC for a full four months.
If Gu Zhe wants to climb two levels up to be qualified to publish articles in "Science" or "Nature", it is probably unlikely that within a year. The scientific community is not an industry and will not immediately raise your expectations because of the technology you developed to make money quickly. The scientific community's understanding of people's strength is very slow.
Therefore, Gu Zhe must at least be a Stanford graduate student, or even graduated, so that he can better plan to include all the graphene discoveries and subsequent major early research into his own contributions.
Fortunately, there is too late, and he has other ways. This is what he just thought of after he negotiated with the French during the summer vacation.
Historically, Andrei Heim and Konstantin Novosholov's experiment of "tearing tape" was a complete accident, and they only did it after they had nothing to do after finishing their own projects.
Therefore, even if Gu Zhe does not have the status of doing graphene research, as long as he first collects the qualification to "enter the Stanford Department and send a letter to high-end professors in the global technology industry to hire a lot of money",
Wouldn't he be able to get Andreheim, and then interfere with his research direction, let him do something else, give him a high salary and completely fill his schedule, so that he has no time to "burn the tape in a boring way."
And it was a coincidence that Andreiheim had been a lucky scientist in history. Before he happened to "tear the tape" and tear out the graphene, he was not a big scientist, but could only be regarded as a middle-aged physics professor at the University of Manchester. It was after graphene was famous for tearing out the tape that he became one of the top big guys.
If it weren't for this, Gu Zhe wouldn't have recruited him next year by relying on money alone - if he had been a big bull who had been famous for many years, he would not get any money, which would lead to confidentiality review by Americans and Yin Chinese.
Therefore, it is particularly important to go to the United States to open a company before June 2004. Gu Zhe was so concise when he negotiated with Director Liu and others. He tried his best to shorten his sophomore year-old school system in China. He worked hard to win two more months of time difference, and he won from finishing undergraduate course in June to finishing undergraduate in April.
In this way, as long as the first step works, Gu Zhe can delay the discovery of graphene until 2005 or even 2006, and directly change the historical process.
In other words, Gu Zhe spent tens of millions of dollars to open a technology company in Silicon Valley and paid a lot of money to poach these two people. He didn't really need to use these two people at all. He just wanted to mislead these two people and mainly pulled their backs.
Of course, if they can really do something else after getting them a lot of money, it will be worth it.
Gu Zhe's own status in the three realms of industry, education and research is rapidly increasing every year.
While he secretly did the tape-torming work by himself, he held Andreheim down. When the time was right, Gu Zhe's own strength was almost qualified to publish graphene in "Nature" and found it, and he immediately threw it out.
It is best to be able to go from June 2004 in the original history to April 2005. When Gu Zhe graduated for one year, he pretended to agree when he was in charge of a doctorate, and then immediately suspended his doctorate on the grounds that other entrepreneurial and scientific research tasks were too heavy and he had no time.
As soon as the doctor stopped studying, he immediately published the discovery of graphene and related early research.
Then, with graphene, we will find that this is not inferior to Einstein's solution to the photoelectric effect a hundred years ago.
Einstein can get a PhD in physics from the University of Zurich without studying because of his photoelectric effect thesis.
Why can't Gu Zhe rely on graphene thesis? He just got a Ph.D. in physics from Stanford University without studying?
At the same time, this achievement was made by Gu Zhe during his suspension of school and returning to China. Although Stanford was forced to reissue his doctorate, this achievement was made by Gu Zhe in China and would not do anything about the Americans.
Leaving a little relationship with the Americans is just a false conspiracy. Taking advantage of the fact that China and the West had not deteriorated before 2014, they won the Nobel Prize first.
In history, there was a six-year gap between graphene and award winning (2004-2010). Gu Zhe asked himself that Nobel would hesitate to delay for one or two years because of his skin color, but the importance of graphene's achievements is unquestionable. As long as it is solved before 2014, there is still hope.
After 2015, due to certain risks in Northeast Asia, the international situation will be induced by disasters, and the difficulty for Chinese people will be greatly increased. Professor Tu’s Biology Award in history was fortunate to get on the last bus in 2015.
For the sake of the Nobel Prize in Physics, even if you spend tens of millions of dollars on the layout, start a company, dig a hole and make the lucians poach the Lucians in the dark, they are all willing to do so.
These details cannot be explained to anyone, including why they would hire Andreiheim in a Silicon Valley company in the future, or even offer high salaries three or five times the normal salary, which cannot be explained, and they can only act arbitrarily.
If the people around you can't understand it, they can't understand it for the time being. Gu Zhe is destined to be a lonely person, and the heights are so cold.
To be continued...
