International students returning to 90

Rookie?I?

Lin Yi looked at his empty right hand, with a complex expression on his face that seemed to be funny. The young Tony Bryce was really as unlovable as the rumors.

In his previous life, he had dealt with Tony several times because of the "car battery" project. At that time, the most controversial thing about this upstart in materials science in his 30s was his rather artistic braid.

Well, so the history of this braid can be traced back to his school days?

"Bryce." Logan noticed the scene here and walked over quickly. Tony Bryce is notoriously difficult to get along with.

"Professor Logan, I thought you were sensible. Even if it is a visit, you just let them visit the Ford Center next door. This group of people may not have the dignity to set foot here even after a year." Tony not only Has the same name as Iron Man, and even speaks with Tony Stark's arrogance and meanness.

The rookie interns are the best among Berkeley students, and they have always been used to being praised. If Logan said this, they might be able to listen to it, but it came from Tony, who was not a few years older than them. Many people showed sullen expressions on their faces.

Logan raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and gave up the idea of ​​reprimanding Tony. It is much more important for these rookies to have self-knowledge than to teach Tony a lesson.

"Do you think what he said is wrong?" Logan looked at the sullen students with a gentle attitude.

Seeing Logan's good attitude, those students became more courageous, "Professor, each of us, from the moment we stepped into Berkeley, began to work hard to enter the Simpson Laboratory. Simpson Laboratory Every year, we only accept the top 2% of students in the college, for which we gave up most of our free time, and I can confidently say that I am good enough!" The boy almost yelled out the last five words.

This confident "speech" resonated with many interns present, and some even blew two whistles secretly to express their support.

"Heh." Logan sneered, and glanced at the rookies, "You all think so?"

"Tony Bryce entered the University of California, Berkeley in 1990. In 1993, he completed his graduation thesis design early and received a bachelor's degree in materials science and engineering from Berkeley. In 1995, he published a paper on "Composite Materials" in "Nature" as the first author. "Pressureless sintering of ceramics", with more than 200 citations a year, the college once again made an exception and awarded him a master's degree in materials science and engineering in advance. Now, Tony's first draft of his doctoral project has been awarded a $20 reward from SpaceX."

Logan paused at this point, "Why, do you think you are better than him?"

The exclamations of the rookie interns became louder and louder, and then the way they looked at Tony Bryce became completely different. Even the braid on his head changed in the eyes of these rookie interns. Get holy.

"Tony is just an ordinary member of Simpson's Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Let me put it another way. He has not published more than one paper as the first author in the world's top journals, and he has no chance of being interviewed by the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics." There will be!"

There was silence at the scene. Even in Berkeley, a top five prestigious university in the United States, most students will only try to prepare to submit to the world's top journals when they are doctoral students. From university to doctoral students, the struggle and hard work of nearly ten years is very important to Simpson. For the Ministry of Aeronautics and Astronautics, is it worth only one interview opportunity?

Looking at the researchers in white coats and the rows of sophisticated instruments in front of them, everyone couldn't help feeling awe in excitement.

"Okay, let's go to the Ford Center next, the things there will be more familiar to you, and it will be closer to your daily work in the future." Logan saw that the enthusiasm of these rookie interns had almost been worn down, so he said.

After speaking, he took the lead and walked out the door, and everyone followed him and filed out.

Lin Yi had already stepped out of the gate of the Ministry of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and suddenly heard an angry shout, "fuck, what are you doing!"

It's Tony Bryce.

"Yes... I'm sorry." The trembling voice... Lin Yi frowned, stopped, and turned his head.

A glass of water on the laboratory table was overturned, and half of the thick stack of materials placed next to Tony was wet. He Qun stood there pale, with trembling lips, and kept apologizing.

Everyone, including Professor Logan, looked over.

"Is it the information of senior Bryce? Why is he so careless."

"This Chinese, is it Qun He? The Chinese who became a researcher's assistant because he was good at sweeping the floor."

Other students worked hard to get the top 2% places to work as handymen in the laboratory, but He Qun became a research assistant because of his luck. This kind of "unfairness" will naturally cause dissatisfaction among others. Once this dissatisfaction is vented The mouth will be out of control.

"You can't even walk, but you actually became a researcher's assistant?"

"His researcher is really unlucky."

"That's not necessarily the case. Airborne couples paired with idiots who can't walk. In Chinese terms, they're a natural match. Don't you think so, Xu?"

An American student saw Xu Dongkui walking by and asked with a smile.

Xu Dongkui Guozi showed a simple and honest smile on his face, and did not answer.He was present, the only Chinese student besides Lin Yi and He Qun.

Tony had already started to go berserk. He pointed at He Qun and lashed out at him and scolded him. Others in the lab also noticed the scene here and cast their eyes on him from time to time.

He Qun's tears were already rolling in his eyes. He knew it was not good for a big man to cry, but he was really scared and wronged. He swore that he really didn't do it on purpose. When he passed by Tony's laboratory table just now, his arm was stabbed. After pushing hard, he knocked over the cup on the table.

He Qun was originally a bad-spoken person, and in this situation, he couldn't even fart, and would just bend over and apologize.

When he bowed countless times, someone held his shoulders.

"Bryce, if I were you, I would dry these papers as soon as possible." Lin Yi patted He Qun on the shoulder. own people.

Lin Yi has always protected his own people.

"Are you using sub-meter-grade h-BN powder for pressureless sintering?" Lin Yi glanced at the first sheet of wet paper, "The idea is very good. The process of pressureless sintering is relatively simple and efficient. The production cost is low, and products with complex shapes can also be sintered, which will be the direction of industrial mass production of composite ceramics in the future."

"However..." Lin Yi habitually adopted the tone of senior researchers teaching junior researchers, "Now you are going to apply h-BN-based composite ceramics to the channel of the Hall thruster. Pressureless sintering is good, but its technology If it is immature, the compactness of the composite ceramics that come out cannot meet these conditions, so there is no need to do it any further.”

Meow meow meow?What is that Chinese saying, Chinese?The rookie interns were at a loss.

But Logan and Tony naturally understood.

Tony has focused on the research of pressureless sintering of composite ceramics since he was a graduate student. After participating in the Hall thruster channel project, he wanted to use pressureless sintering to prepare ceramic components for composite requirements. His hard work and hard work for nearly a year He was denied by the intern in front of him with a fluffy sentence saying that it is impossible and that there is no need to continue doing it.

He has such a bad temper!he……

"Why do you say that? Also, how do you know that my research on composite ceramics is applied to the channel of the Hall thruster?" Facing the Chinese with a "kind" face in front of him, he couldn't say any curse words.

"He's right, how did you know about the passage of the Hall thruster?" Professor Logan walked to their side at some point.

The research on the Hall Thruster Channel is a confidential project. Even in the Simpson Laboratory, only people from the Ministry of Aeronautics and Astronautics know that Lin Yi, a Chinese who came to Simpson Lab for the first time, cannot know about the Hall Thruster Channel. .

Lin Yi shrugged, with a casual smile on his face, "Isn't it obvious? On the two pieces of paper just now, one is the calculation result curve of plasma erosion resistance, and the other should be Hall's propulsion Let’s take a photocopy of the ignition discharge photos of the device channel components under different inert gases, and the possibility analysis of the secondary electron emission characteristics on the first paper just now. I think these are already obvious.”

Silence, silence, still silence.

Logan couldn't help asking himself in his heart, if it was him, would he be able to tell Tony's research direction just by seeing these few pieces of paper?

It seems, seems, probably... a bit difficult.

Logan coughed twice, "I remember Lin, your Harvard tutor was Professor Horn?"

Lin Yi smiled and nodded, "Yes, Professor Horn has helped me a lot."

"That's right, that's right, Professor Horn is a great physicist and enjoys a high reputation worldwide." Logan seemed to be smiling very heartily. What's wrong?Materials science is a very comprehensive subject. Yes, if material science scholars can learn physics well, it will be of great help to their research.

But can a physicist really be so familiar with the field of materials science?Or Professor Horn has plans for interdisciplinary research?

"I can understand your desire to apply your research to such a large project as the Hall thruster channel. But when we do scientific research, the primary goal is qualified scientific research results. For our needs, we must give up decisively. Therefore, I suggest that you use the hot pressing sintering method, and at the same time choose the appropriate sintering aids, such as ZrO2, Al2O3 and Y2O3, etc.”

Listening to Lin Yi's "teaching" to Tony, Logan began to think maybe... maybe Professor Horn is really an expert in scientific research in many fields?

The author has something to say: Lin Yi suffers!And the customary 100 red envelopes in this chapter
