Chapter 160 Revisiting the Chemistry Laboratory Building(2/3)

AMS will provide scholarships and academic honors to members! You will be randomly judged for your ability in the future, and those bonuses are much more than the membership fee you pay!

And this member does not need to go to the United States. You only need to accept the invitation and pay the membership fee to complete the registration. Join first, and you may become an honorary member in the future."

"Oh, that's it, then I agree. Didn't I think that making money is not easy, and I can't let Americans make money casually." Qiao Yu said suddenly.

All right……

In fact, Qiao Yu knew the above basic common sense very well.

In fact, after receiving the invitation from the American Mathematical Society, he confirmed the authenticity of the email and learned everything about the American Mathematical Society through the Internet...

Including but not limited to membership types, various benefits, joining methods, etc. So he actually planned to join.

The reason why I asked again was mainly because Director Tian was already treating him like a freewheeling person. Moreover, he really couldn't provide much guidance in academic matters. Most of the time, he just created conveniences for him.

Qiao Yu felt that this would be a very troublesome problem. In the past, Director Tian could obtain the emotional value of teaching students by examining his basic knowledge.

But as the research work unfolds, especially the research and expansion around the generalized modal axiom system, it has gone beyond the scope of my mentor's research. This also means that it will be increasingly difficult to harvest this kind of emotional value from him.

So Qiao Yu had to find a way to let his mentor gain more of this kind of value. This kind of thing that originally required experience to understand couldn't be better. He had to give his mentor a place to teach after he had accumulated half a lifetime of experience.

And people can't act like they are smart in everything, especially in front of their elders, as that will often make them look very unsmart.

Well, the main reason was that Director Tian was too kind to him, so he still hoped that his mentor would be happier if nothing happened.

This is indeed the case. After teaching Qiao Yu a lesson, Tian Yanzhen seemed to feel much more relaxed. He waved his hand to him and said, "Okay, go ahead. Go back and fill out the application materials and join AMS now."

It won't do you any harm."

"Okay, Director Tian." After responding, he walked out of Tian Yanzhen's office honestly.

To be honest, Qiao Yu still felt very tired when he came back from the meeting this time.

I had just returned to my dormitory and was about to take a nap first when my phone rang again.

Qiao Yu was quite surprised that the caller turned out to be Senior Brother Liu who plays chemistry.

Yes, Qiao Yu thought of this senior brother when he saw the name. He still remembered that he had just accepted a project from Huaqing University, and then felt that he owed Yanbei University a project.

Then Director Tian asked him to help the chemistry laboratory solve a problem on a so-called new cobalt-based catalyst project.

In fact, in Qiao Yu's opinion, it was just a small problem, and he solved it in one day. The reason why he remembered it so deeply was mainly because the laboratory opposite was too generous.

After the project was completed, he was given two million in consulting fees. Although the tax was only several hundred thousand, it was still the largest income in his life. It directly doubled the family property several times.

So after seeing this phone call, Qiao Yu only felt quite friendly. He even pictured Liu Hao's handsome face in his thirties with pimples on his face in his mind!

It is no exaggeration to say that Qiao Yu really thinks Liu Hao is quite handsome. Of course, it may also be because the other party gives him a lot of money...

Although the money must have been given by tutor Liu Hao, I think that when another tutor distributes money, he must also seek the opinion of the supervisor of the research group, which is enough to show that Liu Hao still spoke for him.

So Qiao Yu answered the phone without hesitation and greeted him warmly: "Hello, senior brother Liu, long time no see!"

"Yeah, I haven't seen you for a long time! By the way, congratulations first, Qiao Yu. I heard that you were in the limelight again at the annual meeting of the Mathematical Society this time. And you got another top issue?"

Qiao Yu responded with a smile: "Hey, senior brother, you are too polite. I just wrote casually, and who knew that the editor-in-chief of Lott would take a fancy to it again."

"As I said before, don't be humble. No matter how humble you are, I won't have the nerve to call you. So are you back now?"

Qiao Yu replied: "What a coincidence, I just came back from Director Tian's office. Is there something wrong, senior brother?"

"Well...to be honest, we are asking for your help again this time...it's urgent."

Well, after hearing this, Qiao Yu suddenly felt less tired.

The last time I helped out was two million, and this time I want to help again... Oh, by the way, it depends on what project it is.

Qiao Yu remembered that Director Tian told him that generally the most profitable projects are horizontal projects.

If it is a vertical or general project, it usually does not have much money, and the research team cannot afford much consulting fees.

So he immediately asked: "Ah, senior brothers, you are too awesome, aren't you? This is one project after another? Isn't it another horizontal project this time?"

"Well, yes, it's a horizontal project that our boss took over. Hey, you don't know, our boss doesn't like to compete with others, so he usually doesn't bother to work on those superficial projects..."

Hearing the tone of the other person who seemed a little embarrassed, Qiao Yu quickly said: "No, no, I'm just asking. That horizontal project is actually quite good. Is there any problem?"

Qiao Yu probably understood what Senior Brother Liu meant across from him. After all, it was easier to gain a reputation in the academic world with vertical or horizontal projects. It was different with horizontal projects, and they could make some bad money...

But in fact, Qiao Yu doesn't value reputation that much. After all, he is not a chemist and does not need to become famous in the chemical world.

"Well, the project we took on this time is a temperature-responsive smart memory gel material. It has now reached the material optimization stage.

The solution we are considering is to improve the temperature sensitivity and memory function of the material by regulating intermolecular interactions in the gel, such as hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions.

But now there are many problems. One is that the temperature response performance of the gel often decreases, and the material even no longer responds to temperature changes.

We have been using trial and error methods to optimize experimental conditions, but as you know, every time the experimental parameters are adjusted, the testing and analysis cycle is very long.

And this thing will produce a lot of by-products. In addition, this project requires a lot of testing equipment, many of which are not available in our laboratory, and we have to queue up, which is too energy-consuming.

So I want to ask you to come and help me. In fact, I wanted to invite you two days ago, but you happened to go to Linhai for a meeting. I just heard that you have come back, so I will try to call you. But if you just

When you come back, do you want to rest first?"

Qiao Yu's expression became serious: "Senior Brother Liu, what did you say? If it were someone else, I would definitely need to rest, but you called me and I said I wanted to rest. Isn't that disrespectful of our friendship?"

What happened?

Your project is my project. Besides, you didn’t ask Professor Lu this time and just asked me to check it out for you. If you trust me so much, would I still be a human being if I didn’t check it out right away? Just wait.

I’ll go over now!”

"Ah... um, thank you very much. I'll wait for you downstairs. It's the same experimental building as last time."



After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yu quickly walked out the door, swept a small yellow car and went straight to the new experimental building of the School of Chemistry.

In less than ten minutes, he saw Liu Hao waiting for him outside the building.

"Qiao Yu, this way..."

"I see you, Senior Brother Liu." Qiao Yu greeted him warmly, then rode over to Liu Hao and parked the car.

We haven’t seen each other for half a year. Senior Brother Liu feels that there hasn’t been much change. His hair has not become thinner, but there seem to be more acne on his face. Sure enough, he studied chemistry and can stay young forever...

But after saying hello, Qiao Yu felt that Senior Brother Liu seemed a little embarrassed...

"Is there any problem? Senior brother!" Qiao Yu asked enthusiastically and cheerfully.

"Uh... um, Qiao Yu, let me tell you the truth, don't blame me." Liu Hao said hesitantly.

Qiao Yu said grandly: "Who among us is following whom? If you have anything to say, just tell me. Besides, I'm just here to help you. How can I blame you?"

Liu Hao bit the bullet and said: "Well... didn't you just say that we didn't find Professor Lu but you first? That's not true. We had actually contacted Professor Lu before and wanted him to help us optimize the model.

Professor Lu also came to see it, but he said that our problem is more complicated because there are many parameters involved and there are complex nonlinear relationships between them.

As you know, every time one more parameter is added in this case, the number of combinations that need to be calculated increases exponentially, and there is also strong coupling.

When we don't have enough data, it's very easy to diverge if we use differential equations to describe it. So his suggestion is to let us try more and make more mistakes before we get enough data.

Hey, it’s not like we can’t trial and error slowly. But as you know, Party A’s push for horizontal projects is tighter, and they have to report the laboratory progress to Party A every month.

Who would have thought that the previous design went very smoothly. When the preliminary results were displayed, Party A was very satisfied. However, it ended up being stuck on optimization, and it has been two months since it was able to move forward.

If there is no progress in the report submitted next month, the instructor will get angry again. As you know, it is not easy to get horizontal projects in this environment.

And this time, Party A seems to have entrusted not only one of our laboratories, but also Huairou Institute of Technology. Their plan is different from ours. They use block copolymer phase separation and nanoparticle filling to realize this technology.

But no matter what, if we really let the other side make it first, not only will the subsequent research and development funds be gone, but you know, our mentor’s face will also be lost. Alas..."

After hearing these words, Qiao Yu suddenly felt relaxed.

He thought Senior Brother Liu was going to say that he might not have enough money to give this help...

I'm sorry that I did it for a long time, because he wasn't the first person to think of him.

In Qiao Yu's opinion, this was nothing at all.

He just said it casually on the phone. Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Liu actually took it seriously and felt embarrassed.

There is no other way, I can only say that this Ph.D. brother may have stayed in the laboratory for too long, making him too honest.

This made Qiao Yu start to worry about Senior Brother Liu entering the society after graduation. After all, people who are too honest can easily suffer losses.

Qiao Yu feels that he is not a good person, so he very much hopes that good people will be rewarded. Because in this way, more good people will appear.

In this case, his relatively low moral standards come in handy...

"Hey, what did I think it was? Isn't it just fighting in the ring? Let me tell you, Senior Brother Liu, I am the best at this."

Qiao Yu said with a smile: "And you invited Professor Lu, and you still thought of me after you found that he couldn't solve the problem, which means that in your opinion, I am better than Professor Lu! Thank you, Senior Brother Liu, hey, you still think highly of me

Me!"

"Hehe... It's only me who wants to thank you." Liu Hao showed an honest smile.

"Stop talking, let's go, hurry up and go to the laboratory to check the situation. It will be night if we wait any longer."

Qiao Yu said proactively.

"Okay, come with me." Liu Hao was really relieved to see that Qiao Yu didn't care.
