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

"According to my understanding, of these two new silicon-based lithium battery anode materials, the first one has a lower cost, and the second one has a longer battery life."

Hearing Xu Shou's words, Xu Zhou smiled and replied:

"Yes, Manager Xu, to put it simply, it can be understood this way. As for which of these two materials has more application value, your company still needs to conduct further testing."

Xu Zhou knew in his heart that no matter which material Piati chose in the end, this time the horizontal subject was successfully concluded.

Even if Piatti is not satisfied with these two materials for various reasons, Xuzhou and Ningchen will not suffer any loss, because the patent rights are still in their hands, but they cannot proceed with subsequent patent licensing. Cooperated.

After Xu Shou had a general understanding of these two results, he was quite satisfied with the research work of Xu Zhou, Ning Chen and others during this period.

"Okay, Teacher Xu, Ning Chen, I have a general understanding of the basic situation. Of course, we still need to test and verify these results when we go back, and then choose whether to implement patent licensing and which materials to license."

Xuzhou handed over various experimental data and experimental samples during the project to Xu Shou, because the two parties had previously signed a strict confidentiality clause, and Xuzhou also applied for patents on these two results.

Xuzhou is not worried about any leaks or infringement issues that may arise during this process.

After sending Xu Shou away, Ning Chen and Xu Zhou both felt relaxed.

"This project is finally completed. At least for a period of time in the future, I don't plan to take on horizontal projects anymore." Xu Zhou said with a wry smile.

"Why, Teacher Xu, do you think you have made enough money?" Ning Chen asked with a smile.

"I will never make enough money, but now I still want to do some vertical projects, and I will give it a professional title first."

Now Xu Zhou is still an associate professor and master's tutor. Xu Zhou wants to make some more achievements so that he can be promoted to professor and doctoral tutor, so that he can legitimately lead Ning Chen.

After all, the horizontal subject is cooperation with enterprises. The advantage is that the money comes quickly, but the disadvantage is that it has little effect on the evaluation of professional titles.

For Xuzhou now, professional titles are still more important than money.

Ning Chen also felt that Xuzhou should really focus on vertical projects now. It would not be too late to take on some horizontal projects after the professional title is evaluated.

…

Since Piati's verification and testing work may last for a long time, Ning Chen and Xu Zhou are not in a hurry to finish the problem and focus on their respective research.

Ning Chen continues his research on iron-based superconductivity, hoping to discover more superconductors and break the previous critical temperature record for iron-based superconductors.

Xuzhou has applied for a new vertical project, hoping that it will help his professional title selection after making results.

On this day, Ning Chen received news from Emerald Bay.

The house that Ning Chen bought for his parents in his hometown has been officially sold. The property management company notified Ning Chen that he could come over and go through the check-in procedures for the new house when he has time.

Having just finished a big project, Ning Chen was not too busy during this period, so he thought about going home this weekend.

While going through the check-in procedures for your new house, you can also go home to see your parents.

Now that the train ticket purchase function has been opened online, Ning Chen checked the tickets back to Steel City and picked out the most suitable train.

After buying the ticket, Ning Chen called Wang Yanping and told him about going home on the weekend.

"Mom, the house in Emerald Bay has been reserved. I will go back this weekend and check in with you."

Wang Yanping didn't seem to be surprised about the sexual intercourse, and said:

"When we went to Emerald Bay before, the real estate agent told us that the apartment would be ready soon. Then you can come back if you are not busy. You can't stay in the laboratory every day."

Since Ning Chen bought this house for Ning Qiang and Wang Yanping, the two of them would go around the community almost every week.

As the two became familiar with this community, they began to look forward to this new community.

This makes them less resistant to changing their houses. After all, they must be happy to change from a small house to a large bungalow.

On Saturday morning, Ning Chen took a taxi to the train station and got on the train to Steel City.

On the way, Ning Chen thought about whether he should get a driver's license and buy a mobility scooter.

In this case, when you go home again, you can also drive back directly, which is more convenient than taking the train.

Rebirth did not make Ning Chen lose the ability to drive, but he must take the driver's license test, otherwise he would be driving without a license.

After arriving at Gangcheng Station, Ning Chen took a taxi directly to Emerald Bay Community and met Ning Qiang and Wang Yanping.

Ning Qiang and Wang Yanping were very happy to see Ning Chen and quickly asked about Ning Chen's recent situation.

"Chenchen, you must be very busy in the laboratory every day, right? You have published three papers in that Nature magazine before. I heard that it is one of the best magazines in the world, better than "Reader" and "Reader". Yilin" and everything else are great."

Upon hearing this, Ning Qiang quickly retorted:

"My mother doesn't understand. Nature magazine is an academic journal. It is not the same type as "Reader" and "Yilin". If I say it, these academic papers published by Chenchen are better than the stories in those magazines. There are too many, this is real science and the key to leading human progress."

"Okay, okay, you know best, I don't understand anything." Wang Yanping curled her lips and said.

Having said that, Ning Chen could also see that Ning Qiang and Wang Yanping were really happy for them.

"Dad, Mom, do you usually come here to visit?"

After hearing Ning Chen's words, Ning Qiang smiled and replied:

"Yes, your mother comes here every weekend. Your mother is very familiar with this area. She is already familiar with where there is a vegetable market, where you can do square dancing, where there are supermarkets and so on."

"I'm not doing this so that if Chenchen brings his girlfriend home someday, he won't be in a hurry."

"Well, it's good to familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment early so that you can quickly adapt to the new environment after moving here." Ning Chen said.

"By the way, Chenchen, do you have a girlfriend now?" Wang Yanping asked.

After hearing Ning Qiang's question, Ning Chen hesitated for a moment and then said:

"Not yet. I'm busy enough doing experiments every day now, and I don't have time to think so much. And I'm young now, so I'm not very anxious about this matter."

Although according to grade level, Ning Chen has already entered the first degree of Bachelor's degree, but Ning Chen is only just over twenty years old.

"Chenchen, if there is someone suitable, we can talk about it first. You are so good now, there should be a lot of girls pursuing you, right?"

In Wang Yanping's mind, Ning Chen was tall and handsome, and his grades were so good, so he must be popular with girls.

Ning Chenxin said that he rarely comes into contact with any girls.

Although Shengzhou University is a comprehensive university, it mainly focuses on science and engineering, and the ratio of men to women is seriously imbalanced.

As for Ning Chen's material major, there are very few girls. Even the few girls are about to be assimilated by the boys because they have been in a group of boys for a long time.

"That's not true. There are no girls in our major, let alone anyone pursuing me. This thing still depends on fate."

Ning Qiang also echoed after hearing this:

"We, Chenchen, are still young. We should focus on research now. With Chenchen's conditions, it will definitely be easy to find a girlfriend. It still depends on whether Chenchen likes her or not."

The three of them walked and chatted like this. When they arrived at the property management office, Ning Chen explained his purpose and checked his personal information. The property staff found their keys.

"Sir, your house is in Unit 2, Unit 502, Building 1, Emerald Bay Community. Do you need us to take you there?"

"No need, we can just go there by ourselves."

After receiving the key, Ning Chen led Ning Qiang and Wang Yanping to the location of their house.

After opening the door, the three of them looked at the environment in the house and felt very comfortable.

Because it has a layout of 150 square meters, four bedrooms and two living rooms, the entire house has a large space and ample lighting, giving it a very open and bright feeling.

The degree of fine decoration of the room was also higher than Ning Chen's expectations.

If you don’t have too high requirements for decoration, you basically don’t have to spend any more money by adding some furniture, home appliances, soft furnishings, etc.

"Dad, Mom, what do you think of the decoration of this house? Do you need to find a decoration company to change it?"
