I Have a Research Support System

Consciousness returns to reality, and control over the body is gradually restored.

Xu Qiu rubbed his eyes, adapting to the surrounding light, and then tried to call out the system interface.

【Scientific Research Auxiliary System】

Permission Level: 0

Points: 0

Tasks in progress: 1

He let out a long breath, made up his mind, and began to plan his next move.

First of all, you must first find a research group for an internship.

On the one hand, you can complete novice tasks and increase your authority level; on the other hand, you can spend more than a year in scientific research than others, so you can win at the starting line.

Wouldn't it be great if the students of the same class had already published papers and won scholarships when they couldn't even recognize the instruments of their research group when they first entered school.

Moreover, entering the research group ahead of time also gave me the opportunity to try and make mistakes. In case I meet a very BT tutor, I can change the group and start again.

So, which direction should you choose?

Xu Qiu felt that it was best to choose a direction that would have a profound impact on human society.

With the system in hand, he couldn't help looking at problems from the perspective of all mankind.

Three industrial revolutions, first steam engine, coal, iron and steel, then electricity, internal combustion engine, radio, and finally atomic energy, electronic computer, space technology and bioengineering.

There is a key point behind them all, and that is energy.

Well, the energy direction, looks good.

…………

During the break between classes, Xu Qiu took out his laptop from his backpack.

Skillfully connect to the campus network, open the official website of the Department of Materials Science, and then browse the information of the in-service teachers one by one, as well as the research direction of the corresponding research group.

Synthesis and functionalization, mechanism research and application exploration of functional micro-nano particles, associate professor Lu Dong, master supervisor.

Research on liquid crystal polymers and photoresponsive materials, Professor Lan Yuyan, doctoral supervisor.

...

The field of study of most teachers is not related to energy.

In the end, Xu Qiu selected 3 energy-related directions from 83 research directions:

Research on organic/perovskite solar cells and their key physical and chemical issues, Professor Wei Xingsi, doctoral supervisor.

Fuel cell materials and their system integration with hydrogen storage devices, researcher Ge Hongchang, doctoral supervisor.

High-performance lithium-ion battery electrode materials, solid polymer electrolytes and solid-state lithium-ion batteries, Professor Zhang Jianwen, doctoral supervisor.

The three teachers are all professors/researchers and doctoral supervisors, and their scientific research results are also full of several pages.

Which one should I choose?

After thinking for a while, Xu Qiu believed that the solar cell field had the highest potential among the three.

Human beings currently have very limited utilization of solar energy, and most of the light energy irradiated by the sun is lost in the form of heat energy.

Moreover, solar cells are a field that is very suitable for civilian use, but currently limited by technical bottlenecks, they are mostly used in bacteria prescriptions.

If it can be used for civilian use, it will definitely have a huge positive impact on society and people's livelihood.

Then choose Teacher Wei Xingsi.

After Xu Qiu made a decision, he found Teacher Wei's email address from the website, and sent an email with Xuebao.

Research group practice

Dear Teacher Wei Xingsi:

I'm Xu Qiu, a third-year student in the Department of Materials Science and Technology of Modu Comprehensive University, and my student number is XXX. I learned from the website of the school’s Department of Materials that the teacher is mainly engaged in “research on organic/perovskite solar cells and their key physical and chemical issues”. I am very interested in your research field. May I come to your research group for an internship? ?

I wish you success in your work and good health!

Xu Qiu

As far as he knows, under normal circumstances, the teachers of the materials department welcome undergraduates to come for internships.

After all, who doesn't like cheap labor, as long as there are no safety accidents.

However, he was not familiar with Teacher Wei, so if he was rejected or did not get a reply for more than three days, he could only make another plan.

…………

The three or four classes in the morning are Outline of Modern History, and the teacher is an older professor.

Because the course was an open-book exam, and Xu Qiu was not interested in the old professor's teaching methods based on the scriptures, so he resolutely gave up listening to the class, took out the computer and started self-studying the leftover course of Material Analysis.

Five minutes before the end of get out of class, the old professor in Xu Qiu's stand had no intention of calling names, so he took advantage of this unpreparedness and quietly slipped out from the back door of the classroom.

After three years in college, Xu Qiu also became an old fried dough stick. He concluded and found:

If you go to the cafeteria after the fourth class at noon, the average queuing time will be more than 30 minutes.

And if you leave five minutes early, the queuing time will be shortened to less than five minutes.

Back and forth, round up.

Leaving five minutes early can save an hour of time, which is really profitable.

The water in the sponge is squeezed out like this.

Arriving at the cafeteria with ease, Xu Qiu casually bought a large steak, a portion of sweet and sour pork, a portion of sautéed celery, two taels of rice, and swiped his campus card.

After deducting 9.20 yuan, the remaining 234.50 yuan.

In a first-tier city like Modu, such prices are very cheap.

After lunch, Xu Qiu came to the teaching building near the cafeteria, randomly found a classroom with not many people, and found an empty seat to sit down.

After turning on the computer and opening the mailbox, he wanted to see if he had received a reply from Teacher Wei.

Inbox (1437).

Well, no new emails.

Because Xu Qiu remembered that it was this number when he closed his mailbox last time.

Now that it's all open, let's sort it out by the way.

The school mailbox only provides a capacity of 500M, and if the capacity is insufficient, mail cannot be received.

But a lot of important information must be obtained through the school mail, such as school notices, student-work memos sent by counselors every week, and so on.

Therefore, it is necessary to clean up the school mail regularly, and completely delete the spam with large attachments.

After cleaning up, Xu Qiu hung the mailbox in the background, opened the official website of the Department of Materials again, and carefully checked the relevant information of Teacher Wei.

The first is Wei Xingsi's resume:

Shanghai Jiaotong University (undergraduate and master), Department of Chemistry, University of California, Riverside (master), Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Pennsylvania State University, Polymer Science (doctorate), University of Cambridge (postdoctoral), US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (postdoctoral fellow, researcher).

He returned to China two years ago and was introduced by the national Thousand Youth Talents program. He worked as a specially-appointed professor and doctoral supervisor in the Department of Materials Science of Shanghai University of Technology.

I just returned to China two years ago, and now I probably don't have many students on hand. The research team should be short of people. Xu Qiu muttered to himself.

At this time, a new email notification pops up in the lower right corner of the computer:

You have 1 unread message from

.

It's Teacher Wei's email, and it finally arrived.
