Start as a top student and move towards the stars and the sea

Ning Chen asked Yuan Shuai to get a general understanding of their topic. Although the topic itself was not complicated, it still had certain research value for undergraduates.

"Yes, once this project comes to fruition, the subsequent graduation project will be much easier."

After a while, the grilled fish ordered by Ning Chen was served. While eating the grilled fish, Marshal Yuan couldn't help but ask:

"Ning Chen, why did you come to see me today?"

The former commander knew that Ning Chen would definitely not find him out for no reason. Moreover, Ning Chen only found him. Maybe there was some secret matter that he wanted to discuss with him.

"Commander Yuan, are you still a tutor now?"

"Well, we have a few students with us now. What's wrong?"

"A student I taught before also wants to take math classes. I don't have time to teach him now, so I wanted to ask if it's convenient for you."

Hearing that Ning Chen wanted him to take over tutoring, Yuan Shuai naturally welcomed him.

"As long as our schedules match up, there won't be any problem. But Ning Chen, is this why you want to come out to me?"

Marshal Yuan felt that this kind of thing was not worthy of Ning Chen calling him out, and if the introduction was successful, Marshal Yuan would actually owe Ning Chen a favor.

"Because I had been taking care of this student before, but then I was too busy and couldn't teach him. The parents of that student were also very good to me, and I felt quite embarrassed. If you can take care of this student, even if You’re doing me a favor.”

Hearing what Ning Chen said, the former commander also felt that he could understand Ning Chen.

"No problem, then I'll give it a try. Can I ask how much the class fee is for this class?"

"300 yuan for one and a half hours." Ning Chen said.

Hearing this number, Yuan Shuai almost spit out the food in his mouth.

"One and a half hours... 300 yuan? Is that much?"

You know, among the students that Yuan Shuai currently has, the highest tuition fee is only 150 yuan for one and a half hours.

This was a relatively normal trend in the college tutoring industry back then.

"Well, I've already negotiated the price with the parents, so you don't have to worry about it. Of course, whether it can happen in the end depends on how well the students cooperate with you and whether they can get along with you."

"Okay, I will prepare carefully."

Next, Ning Chen told the former coach about Xu Yang's general situation, including Xu Yang's achievements, weak links, personality characteristics, etc.

Ning Chen even told Yuan Shuai about Xu Yang's hobbies, which also helped Yuan Shuai get acquainted with Xu Yang better.

"If there is no problem, I will forward your contact information to the parents of the students."

"Okay, if this class is completed, I'll treat you to dinner."

"Haha, no problem."

After returning to the laboratory, Ning Chen pushed the former commander's contact information to Zhou Li and briefly introduced the former commander's basic information.

Yuan Shuai's grades are among the best in the college and he has a lot of experience as a tutor. Zhou Li understood the basic information about Yuan Shuai and expressed her satisfaction.

"Well, Teacher Ning introduced me, I'm sure I can rest assured, and he's also your roommate, so this is definitely the best."

"Then Zhou Li, please set a time first and let him try it out first. Of course, whether it's suitable in the end depends on Yangyang's ideas."

At most, Ning Chen could only provide the former coach with this opportunity, and the rest had to be obtained by the former coach himself.

However, Ning Chen still has great confidence in the former coach. The former coach's ability is not bad, and more importantly, the former coach is very attentive to his work, which is very commendable.

After handling this matter, Ning Chen continued to conduct experiments with Xu Zhou and others.

A few days later, Ning Chen received a message from Zhou Li.

"Teacher Ning, thank you for introducing Teacher Yuan here. Yangyang thinks Teacher Yuan's lectures are also good. Although he is a little worse than you, Yangyang is also willing to learn from Teacher Yuan. I also think this teacher is very good. , it gives people a very real feeling, and we are also your roommates, so we are very relieved.”

Ning Chen also felt very happy when he learned that the former commander's trial lecture was successful.

"Well, the most important thing is that Yangyang thinks it's okay. I hope Yangyang can get better grades and get into the school of his dreams in the college entrance examination."

After a while, the former commander also sent a message to Ning Chen.

"Ning Chen, I have good news for you. My trial class was successful, and the parent paid me for the first class."

"Well, she just told me about this. Congratulations."

"Thank you for the introduction. I will treat you to dinner another day!"

"Okay, let's make an appointment another day."

Ning Chen thought that even if Xu Yang only took one class a week, the former coach would be able to earn an extra 1,200 yuan a month.

This amount of money is not small for Yuan Shuai, it is enough for Yuan Shuai's living expenses for one month.

Moreover, this was based on the former commander's personal labor income, which was easier for him to accept than Ning Chen directly helping the former commander.

…

After Ning Chen reinvested his energy in the research of lithium battery anode materials, the progress of this project became faster.

In the end, the project team successfully developed a three-dimensional porous silicon-carbon composite material, and this material also performed very well in the negative electrode of lithium batteries.

The biggest feature of this negative electrode material is that there is almost no attenuation in battery capacity during current circulation.

Of course, because the synthesis of this material is more difficult, the application cost will be higher.

After completing these studies, Xu Zhou first found a patent attorney he knew and applied for patents for their two results.

According to the previous agreement with Ning Chen, Xuzhou and Ning Chen each held 50% ownership of each patent.

The income from these two patents will be divided equally between Xu Zhou and Ning Chen.

Knowing that Xu Zhou, Ning Chen and others had completed the research on the project, Xu Shou flew from Shenzhen City to Shengzhou again and came to the Materials Laboratory of Shengzhou University.

"Teacher Xu, Ning Chen, we meet again."

This time, Xu Shou still looked good, because during this period, Piatti's business situation had improved, and Xu Shou's performance was getting better and better.

During this period, Xu Shou learned that Ning Chen had published three papers in "Nature", and Xu Shou also understood why Xu Zhou valued a student so much.

There are probably only a handful of geniuses like Ning Chen in the world.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Xu Zhou and Ning Chen introduced their experimental results to Xu Shou.

"Manager Xu, our main achievements this time are two, which are a one-dimensional porous silicon-carbon composite material and a three-dimensional porous silicon-carbon composite material..."

Listening to Xu Zhou and Ning Chen's introduction, Xu Shou quickly understood the characteristics and advantages of these two anode materials.

"Mr. Xu, Ning Chen, these two anode materials sound like they have excellent performance. Compared with the previous anode materials, their battery energy density and battery life have been improved by a large margin."

"Yes, you can think of this as a new generation of silicon-based lithium battery anode materials. From a structural point of view, they are completely different from the previous generation of silicon-based lithium battery anode materials."

In the synthesis process of these two materials, Xu Zhou and Ning Chen added more cutting-edge technologies of nanomaterials to solve many problems that were not solved by the previous generation of silicon-based materials.
