"Then let's do this first, you guys finish writing the application."
I happily finalized the research group affairs with Zhang Meng, Lu Dong and the others. After the exhibition, the two of them, plus Grant, who lacked interest in this aspect, headed back home.
Xia Xu did not join the three of them, but walked around the Science and Technology Museum.
Today is not only the day when the college teaches them the 'first lesson', but also the day when various clubs or research groups recruit new students. They take advantage of the opportunity and put up roll-up display racks and folding rolls along the streets around the Science and Technology Museum early.
Tables, chairs, tents, etc.
The freshmen were in high spirits at the Science and Technology Museum, and they were also very interested in the research group at this moment. Therefore, after the exhibition, the area was still crowded with people, and they were attracted to linger in various stalls.
Naturally, Xia Xu didn't want to miss this good opportunity to invest and recruit people. He looked for projects of interest while checking the attributes of the people around him.
"The VR Research Society is recruiting new members. If you join now, you will get the latest experimental VR glasses for free. Virtual games are no longer a dream!"
"Take a look, take a look, the fluid-free engine research group, the future of aerospace."
"The polymer coating research team is looking for new people, just junior girls!!!!"
"I just want to say one thing, we have a lot of girls!"
In order to attract new people, these research groups publicize their research and development projects and progress, and some even use finished products for demonstrations.
Of course, there are also speculators who are doing all kinds of evil things.
"Little boy, does it look good? Do you want to touch it? It's very slippery..."
A charming-looking senior with long legs was wearing a gray-white body-shaping rubber coat. Her exquisite and graceful body formed an exaggerated curve, and she was smiling and posing towards Xia Xu.
In fact, it wasn't just for Xia Xu, but also for the freshmen passing by along the street. The effect was very impressive. Many people couldn't move their legs and involuntarily moved closer to their stalls.
"I really want to say that I want to touch it, but I bet you 50 cents, senior sister, you will definitely let me touch the small piece of cloth on the table."
Xia Xu, who was the core party involved, couldn't help but laugh, and then squinted at a piece of cloth as big as a palm placed on the folding table next to him.
As long as you don't think about it with your cerebellum, you can know that no matter what, it is impossible for people to engage in pornography openly and openly in school.
What's more, this senior is a serious top student with a high IQ. Judging from her appearance, she might be the class star of a certain class or department. It's weird that she can actually give people benefits. It's just a joke and part-time job.
Use gimmicks to attract people.
"Hey, I was actually found out."
The gelcoat senior made a perfunctory expression of surprise.
"Would you mind introducing me?"
Xia Xu picked up the gray cloth on the table and kneaded it tentatively.
In fact, it is not accurate to say that the fabric is made of the same material as the clothes worn by the gelcoat seniors. It has a texture similar to rubber, but it is also very thin and delicate, and you can feel the amazing elasticity.
"sure."
When the gelcoat senior heard that Xia Xu asked about this, she glanced at him in surprise, and then introduced her seriously: "These are not ordinary rubber materials, but a synthetic spider silk protein.
Generally speaking, spiders store these spider silk proteins in the form of liquid in their bodies. When weaving webs, they eject them through a spinner. After being exposed to the air, they quickly solidify and become the spider silk we see every day.
."
After a brief introduction, she paused for a moment and continued: "Little boy, don't look at the slenderness of spider silk. In fact, the load-bearing performance of even ordinary spider silk can reach more than five times that of the same steel bar.
Moreover, spider silk has excellent ductility. Spider silk with a diameter of one ten thousandth of a millimeter can be stretched twice as long without breaking. If the artificial batch synthesis of spider silk protein can be realized, it will become a technology that can be used in many fields.
of advanced materials.”
"This is the spider silk protein you synthesized, senior sister? Is there a more intuitive demonstration?"
Xia Xu was very interested after hearing this.
"A little more intuitive? Is that okay?"
The gelcoat senior took the piece of fabric from Xia Xu's hand with a smile, then pulled it open with both hands, and put it directly on her body under Xia Xu's dumbfounded eyes.
This palm-sized piece of fabric is actually a one-piece swimsuit?
Although it is known that other materials can also achieve this kind of malleability, it is still a bit inexplicably exciting when this scene happens in front of my eyes, ah no, surprised.
"The ductility is indeed good, but I see, senior, that your promotional poster says it is the Super Spider Silk Protein Research Group. Where is this super?"
Xia Xu pointed to the promotional picture hung up with a roll-up banner next to it.
The senior explained with a smile: "Because we are not only studying the synthesis of ordinary spider silk proteins, but also trying to synthesize heterogeneous proteins with better performance."
"Is there anything with higher strength? I don't just mean load-bearing, it's best to be able to prevent cutting with sharp tools, and it needs to be able to solidify quickly the first time it's exposed to the air, and it needs to be highly viscous."
Xia Xu's eyes brightened slightly, and his interest became more intense.
If there is a heterogeneous spider silk protein that solidifies at a high speed and has high strength, he can completely transform the original spider-like predator into a mechanical spider that actually spits webs.
The spider predator's rope claws and anchoring structure are indeed superior in restraining enemies, but they also have flaws.
It has only one rope claw, which means that a single spider predator can only restrain one target, and in many cases, multiple spider predators will work together to restrain one target.
But if it is a robot equipped with spider silk protein, the spider silk protein it spits out will have a glue-like effect when it splashes on the target, restricting movement and even limb activity, and it can continue to spray as long as the spider silk protein reserves are sufficient.
This mode is definitely more suitable for multiple targets, small targets, and targets that move too fast than the spider predator. At critical moments, it can weave spider webs like real spiders and shape them into traps, positions, and bunkers.
"It's true what you said."
The senior showed a smile like a fox stealing a chicken: "But it is a commercial secret. Unless the junior is willing to join our super spider silk protein research team, it will not be disclosed."
"Senior sister, I would really like to join, but I am from the mechanical engineering department."
Xia Xu spread his hands helplessly.
"..."
The smile on the gelcoat senior's face also froze.
Spider silk protein is different from ordinary materials science achievements. It is actually more of a biological product, and usually needs to be synthesized through microscopic means such as cellular genes.
Therefore, let alone materials science, this stuff is just pure biology, and it can't be compared with anything like electronic machinery.
"but……"
Xia Xu changed the subject again: "Sister, do you still lack R&D funds?"
"Of course it's missing. What, is it possible that you want to help us attract investment?"
The senior glanced at Xia Xu angrily.
"Forget it about soliciting investment, but I personally can invest a little."
Xia Xu smiled slightly.
"you sure?"
The senior sister in gelcoat looked Xia Xu up and down suspiciously: "Little brother, this is our scientific research fund, and it is not enough for tens of thousands of dollars. Even if you are a rich second generation, your pocket money may only be enough."
Stuff between teeth."
"No, no, no, I'm not a rich second generation."
Xia Xu shook his head, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over, smiling: "I am from the rich generation."
The business card is very simple, just a phone number and a title.
[Xinghai Group·Boss]
After glancing at the business card, it was the rubber coat senior's turn to be dumbfounded.
In a group, the position is not chairman or president, but... boss?
This was probably the most arrogant title she had ever seen.
Usually, if a group company is not a listed company, even if you are the founder of the company, you will still be the chairman, and you will still be subject to the control of the board members.
And what does boss mean? It means that the company is owned by him, and at least he has to achieve absolute control before he can use the "position" of boss, right?
Moreover, although she did not recognize Xia Xu, she was not so ignorant that she had not even heard of Xinghai Group.
This name has been widely circulated on the Internet recently, especially for people like them who pay attention to the development of science and technology.
The young boy in front of me is the mysterious high school student boss in the legend of Xinghai Group?
Based on this calculation, it is indeed time for him to go to college after graduating from high school, and he was once said to be a genius. It seems reasonable that he can study at the National University of Science and Technology.
"We should be able to talk about investment now, right?"
Xia Xu smiled slightly again.
The reason why the business card says "Boss" is not because of what he wants, but because other than this, he finds that he really can't find a suitable position.
He has no official position in Xinghai Group at all. The CEO is Chen Leyao. After all, the entire Xinghai Group is his sole authority. Since he wants to be the boss, there is no need to occupy this position.
As for the chairman of the board, he is a wholly-owned shareholder and has a shitty board of directors.
