International students returning to 90

Next to the Quanta200FEG emission environment scanning electron microscope of FEI Company in the United States, there are five heads, two gold ones, two black ones, and one brown one.

They could even feel each other's warm and rapid breathing, and five pairs of eyes stared at the image in the scanning electron microscope, showing affectionate eyes.

"Lin, pinch me!" Tony raised his head in a daze, his pupils seemed to be unfocused.

That's it?He wouldn't dare to do this in his dreams!

"Well, it succeeded." Lin Yi straightened up slowly, he had a very strange feeling in his heart, he had expected this result, but seeing the result actually appeared in front of him, his heart still beat fast.

Tony slammed his head against the scanning electron microscope, and the crisp sound of the collision was heard clearly in the ears of everyone present.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!" He covered his head and jumped around in place, but his mouth was getting wider and wider.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey..." A low laugh came from his mouth, and then the laughter grew louder.

"January 1997, 1, was a great day. In Berkeley's Simpson Laboratory, two researchers discovered a new composite material. Its birth means that American aerospace has officially entered a new era! ’ Tony announced loudly.

Lin Yi coughed dryly, "Qiao Sen, take him down to wash his face and sober up."

A new era for American aerospace?It is true that Hall thrusters are important in the field of satellites and spacecraft, but they are only improving materials and prolonging the service life of spacecraft. It is said that American aerospace has entered a new field. Or one mouthful of saliva can drown you.

"Oh... oh, okay!" Qiao Sen and Andri were obviously not in the mood, it should be said that everyone present except Lin Yi was in a sense of unreality that seemed like a dream but not a dream.

In this way, they completed the US national project experiment and successfully produced the results, only sixteen days?Say it, will the pigeons in Berkeley Square believe it?

Whether the pigeons in Berkeley Square will believe it or not, Logan absolutely does not believe it anyway!

"You call me at night to make this kind of joke. Do you know how important sleep time is for the elderly? The latest issue of "Health" says that the elderly..."

"Professor, I'm not kidding you! The next set of experiments after you left, really passed the sputtering performance test!"

Xu Shi heard the certification in Tony's tone, and Professor Logan on the other end of the phone was silent for a while.

"Really?"

"real!"

"My God! Wait! You wait! We'll be here right away! Simpson, who is Simpson's phone number..." The voice behind became softer, and the phone was hung up soon.

Tony hung up the microphone and looked at Lin Yi, who was guiding He Qun to make a summary of the experiment, with a complicated look on his face. His fist under the table loosened and tightened, and it took a long time before he stretched it slowly. Come up and lay flat on the table.

In less than half an hour, the sound of a car approaching was heard downstairs. Professor Logan almost trotted up, followed by the panting Professor Simpson.

"Where are the samples and reports!"

"It's at Lin." Tony pointed freely.

Logan and Simpson skipped the step of greeting, and directly grabbed the experiment summary from He Qun's hand.

"Is this a sample?" Simpson took a deep breath and asked, pointing to the small silver square in the scanning electron microscope.

Lin Yi nodded.

Simpson and Logan stretched their heads over at the same time. Their movements were too consistent. The two heads collided in the air and made a muffled sound. It hurt to hear it, but they didn't care at all and continued to stare at the image of the scanning electron microscope. .

"This is only one size of grain. There are eight kinds of grains of the same material with different sizes. After we confirm the material, the other seven sets of experiments will be carried out immediately to select the most suitable grain size." Lin Yi said explained.

Simpson took a deep breath again, "The second set of experiments will be carried out immediately, and Logan and I will participate, no problem." He stared closely at Lin Yi's eyes.

"Of course no problem." Lin Yi smiled just right.

Simpson and Logan put on protective clothing, and Simpson looked at the experiment report word by word. The more he read it, the more frightened he became. Unlike the experiment reports of ordinary young researchers, all the steps in this experiment report were optimal choices.

Everyone knows that the straight line between two points is the shortest, but there are only a handful of people who can really get out of this straight line. Every step of this plan is very reasonable and the logic is very clear, but Simpson always has a feeling , it seems that this person had already foreseen the experimental results when he was doing this experimental idea.

This is the intuition of a top scholar who has been immersed in the field of materials science for many years, but it is just an intuition.Because from this report alone, apart from being too excellent, there is nothing abnormal at all.

He put the report aside, and personally operated the second set of experiments with Logan. The two professors cooperated very tacitly, and quickly completed the sputtering test of the second set of samples just by glancing at the test plan.

"Scanning electron microscope!" Simpson said in a deep voice.

Yes, the scanning electron microscope has been brought up, and Professor Simpser needs to verify the results as soon as possible.

It was past nine o'clock in the evening when Tony called Professor Logan. Professor Logan and Professor Simpser drove over to read the report and conduct experiments. Everyone didn't feel sleepy.

They were all waiting for Simpser, the founder of Simpser's laboratory and the most outstanding material scientist in the American material science community, to announce the results of their experiment.

1 minute, 2 minutes, 10 minutes, the two professors stared at the image of the scanning electron microscope for a full 10 minutes.

"There are still six sets of experiments, right! Do it now! Find the most suitable grain size!" Simpser slowly straightened up and said with a serious face.

Everyone's breathing was almost stagnant, and then a burst of warm cheers broke out on the sixth floor of Simpser's laboratory.

Simpser, Logan, and Lin Yi looked sideways at them, it's nice to be young...

Simpser and Logan looked at Lin Yi, who was smiling and flattered, in a strange way. Lin Yi touched his nose and tried to let out an "enthusiastic" cheer.

people...

The six experiments lasted for another 30 hours. The eyes of Simpson and Logan were bloodshot, and they still had no intention of leaving.

It took a lot of hard work for a few assistants to keep serving tea and water, fearing that the old professor would pass away if he was not careful.

"Sure enough, the smaller the grain size is, the more stable it is." Seeing the results of the report, Simpson said, "What is the minimum grain size that can be achieved under the current technical level, and how long can the service life of the spacecraft be extended under the best conditions?" , give me a written report." He said this to Lin Yi.

Speaking of this, Simpson showed a trace of hesitation on his face, "About this material, NASA will probably ask you to sign a non-disclosure agreement, and this patent cannot be commercialized. Of course, they will pay a large amount of technical consulting fees. According to the usual practice , [-]% of which will be your reward."

The first researcher can get 70.00% of the [-]% bonus, which is a common practice in Simpson Lab.However, the Hall thruster channel project is a bit special. This project was entrusted to Tony by Simpson, but it is obvious that Lin Yi is actually the first researcher of this project.

"Professor, I know what you want to say. Lin is the first researcher. There is no doubt about it. Without him, I don't think I would be able to complete this project within three years. This award is already a windfall for me. "Tony said with a grin.

The technical consulting fee is actually a patent fee in disguise. This figure is not small. It is not that Tony has struggled, but obviously, his final decision is to follow his heart.

A smile flashed across Simpson's face, and he said solemnly, "Mr. Bryce, I respect your decision."

Tony raised his forehead, "Professor, I'm really not used to you calling me that."

Everyone laughed.

When He Qun stepped out of the laboratory, he was still dizzy. After being repeatedly told not to disclose any experimental content, he still couldn't understand why he was linked to the national security of the United States.

In this way, the first experimental project he participated in in his life, the national aerospace project of the United States, came to a successful conclusion?

It's like a dream.

"Lin, come to my office tomorrow morning, I think we need to talk." Holding back his sleepy eyes, Simpson tried hard to make his expression look serious.

"Good professor."

next day

Lin Yi drove to Chinatown in San Francisco to buy the long-known Li Kee steamed buns, and then drove slowly towards Berkeley.

He rented this car from the second-hand car market. Of course, when the reward comes, he will have a car of his own.

When he arrived, Professor Simpson was already waiting for him in the office.

"Li Kee's steamed buns?"

"You know?"

"There is nothing I don't know about the food in San Francisco." Simpson smiled very kindly.

Lin Yi seemed more casual. He found a seat and sat down, choosing a comfortable posture, "I think you came to me, and there should be nothing else. Have you read my report?"

The smile on Simpson's face was even more obvious, "I was very pleasantly surprised by your two reports. The extension of the five-year service period is of great significance to NASA, and the technical consulting fee will definitely not be low."

"However, in the past few years, you have not been able to disclose this technology, and you have been wronged." Simpson continued.

"Then what are you going to use to compensate me?" Since you want to help Simpson Labs establish its own industry, it is a cooperative relationship, and the momentum of the other party of the cooperation should not be too weak.

"It's easy to talk to smart people. I will allocate 50.00% of this technical consulting fee to the New Energy Center in the name of scientific research funding. The New Energy Center is just a brand now. How you want to develop it depends on Your ability is gone. Apart from this funding, there is not much I can do to help you."

This means that apart from this funding, Lin Yi has to solve other troublesome matters by himself.

"Of course, as a mentor, I can give you a suggestion. Professor Zhuang Chengzhuang, his high-temperature superconductivity theory is considered a new hope for the energy industry. I heard that he is willing to cooperate with a certain laboratory to verify his theory. It's Chinese, maybe you can fight for it?"
