I am devoted to scientific research, but you want to trick me into having a love relationship?

Chapter 567 Do You Believe in the Dream of Scientific Research?
It was Saturday, another sunny day. The sun shone through the leaves and spread onto the lawn outside the cafe.

Xu Qingzhou met Professor Zheng Xu from CUHK, who looked to be in his thirties, with a handsome appearance. One could tell at first glance that he was the kind of scholar who liked to immerse himself in experiments and was not good at speaking.

"Professor Zheng, please take a seat."

"Hello, Professor Xu."

While Zheng Xu sat down, he was also observing Xu Qingzhou. Although he had seen him several times on TV, he was still a little surprised when he met him for the first time.

Scary young.

Although he is young, Professor Xu has a calmness and composure that does not belong to his age.

"Professor Zheng, you worked at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in the United States for five years. I read your papers during this period, which are very exciting. At the same time, I also read your magneto-electric property analysis and device experiments last year. There is a big gap between them. It can be said to be a failed experiment."

Xu Qingzhou flipped through the information in his hand and said in a deep voice: "The first is the problem of material stability. After multiple electric field cycles, oxygen vacancy migration occurs in the BiFeO film, resulting in a 30% decrease in magnetoelectric coupling efficiency. The second is the process compatibility limitation. The uniformity of the ultra-thin multiferroic film is not compatible with the CMOS process, and the yield rate is only 65%."

In fact, Xu Qingzhou's patented technology on superconducting films can be used in Zheng Xu's experiments. For example, by using gradient doping technology, that is, La-doped BiFeO, the migration of oxygen vacancies can be suppressed.

According to conservative estimates, material performance can be improved by at least 30%.

"Yes."

Zheng Xu showed a dejected expression, nodded in acknowledgment, and said in annoyance: "The results of the experiment are far from what I expected, and there are even many loopholes."

"Can you tell me the reason?" Xu Qingzhou nodded.

Zheng Xu said helplessly: "The funding for another project in the institute was insufficient. In the end, the funding for my project was cut by 20%, the cycle was shortened by one third, and some improvement plans were not implemented in time."

Xu Qingzhou smiled and asked, "Do you mind if I take a look at the improvement plan?"

"Of course, no problem." Zheng Xu turned on his computer and quickly found the previous plan. He said solemnly, "These are the two main plans. Professor Xu, please give me your guidance."

Xu Qingzhou took a quick look at both plans.

The first one is to introduce gradient doping technology.

The idea is similar to that of Xu Qingzhou and others, and can be regarded as a simplified version of the superconducting thin film experiment.

The second solution is based on process innovation and aims to develop atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology to improve film uniformity.

"Well, after implementing these two solutions, the performance of your samples can be improved by about 20%. That is, there are still some areas that can be further improved."

Zheng Xu was impressed that Xu Qingzhou was indeed a professional. When he heard the last sentence, his eyes lit up and he immediately took out the manuscript, as if he was going to check it: "You say."

"We'll talk about areas for improvement when we have a chance. Let's talk about something else."

Looking at the other party's fanatical look, Xu Qingzhou felt a little helpless and thought to himself: Well, this Professor Zheng is also a scientific madman.

Zheng Xu also realized that he had gone off topic. He coughed dryly and put away the manuscript embarrassedly.

Xu Qingzhou returned the information to Zheng Xu and asked, "You have your own project team at CUHK, why do you want to come to this newly established research institute?"

Zheng Xu smiled bitterly and said, "I said it was because of my dream of scientific research. Do you believe me?"

"Why don't you believe it?" Xu Qingzhou asked back.

Zheng Xu was stunned. If he talked about his dream of doing scientific research when he was young, someone might praise him for his ambition, but at his age, others would more likely tell him not to be so naive.

Idealism is useless, we must focus on reality.

Yes, Professor Xu also rejected a high salary offer abroad and returned to China.

Zheng Xu felt like he had found a soulmate. He still felt that the academic atmosphere in China was too impetuous. While doing scientific research, he also had to deal with all kinds of social relationships. Half of the people were doing academic research, and the other half were doing social relationships.

Zheng Xu secretly exhaled and said in a deep voice: "I need a good stage with material foundation and space to display my talents."

"The Kyoto Materials Research Institute has first-class equipment. The equipment in the first phase exceeds that of 90% of the research institutes in Xiaguo. Most importantly, it will have a brand new operating system without the bloat and shackles of other research institutes in the country. I think it will allow me to show my talents."

Xu Qingzhou said: "You should know that the institute's recent goal is to solve lithium dendrites and the shuttle effect, both of which are long-standing problems in the battery field. The worst case scenario is that after two years, the entire institute will not be able to produce any results. In other words, the prospects are not as bright as you think."

Although they only chatted for ten minutes, Xu Qingzhou could already feel the other person's arrogance, or perhaps it was his pursuit of academics.

"I'm mentally prepared."

30 minutes passed quietly.

Xu Qingzhou stood up, smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Professor Zheng Xu, welcome to join us."

"Thank you."

After Xu Qingzhou finished the interview, the rest of the matters were handled by Ji Yunshi and Zheng Xu. He went to the east gate to meet Song Yao and took a taxi to Xishan No. 1 Courtyard.

In fact, the houses in Wanliu Wancheng Huafu Xiyuan are quite good and belong to the top-notch real estate projects, but they are not satisfied with several of the houses there.

Xishan No. 20 Courtyard is located in the Xishan area of ​​Haidian, close to the Summer Palace and the Old Summer Palace. It is also not far from the Institute and Zhongguancun, and can be reached in about minutes.

The environment is relatively quiet and the price is cheaper than Wanliu Wancheng Huafu Xiyuan.

Overall, this is the most suitable place.

"Professor Xu, Miss Song, welcome."

As soon as the two of them got out of the car, a middle-aged man in a suit came to greet them. This was Jia Zhanpeng, the sales manager who had been contacted long ago.

Xishan No. 12 Courtyard is located in the "Three Mountains and Five Gardens" Royal Garden Scenic Area, with an average price between 20 and per square meter.

"Hello, Manager Jia, I'm sorry to bother you today."

"Professor Xu, you're welcome. Please come this way. We are now in the northern area of ​​Xishan No. 10 Courtyard, adjacent to the north side of the Summer Palace. We have preserved 45 square meters of original mountain and the greening rate is %."

Jia Zhanpeng politely welcomed the two people in and introduced the situation of the community to them.

Then take them directly to Building 8 in Area D.

"This villa is made of Italian grey marble and Japanese bamboo-wood integrated walls, and has a whole-house intelligent control system."

"The market price is 6000 million to 1.2 million, and the internal price for this unit is 8200 million, but Professor Xu enjoys the talent discount and can get a 7% discount."

Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao walked around the villa, which was not much different from the pictures, and looked even better in person.

After looking at Area D, the two moved to Building W1-W4 of Xishan No. Courtyard.

The villa has a construction area of ​​400 square meters. In addition to the underground garage, it has two floors above ground, a 100 square meter open-air viewing platform on the top, and a 200 square meter fully fenced courtyard.

Jia Zhanpeng was very professional and thorough, and even sighed: "Single-family villas in the West District are extremely scarce. In recent years, only one has been sold in the judicial auction market. This one is specially reserved for you. Except for the king of the middle building, there is no better location in the entire West District than this one."

"Okay, thank you, we'll take a look ourselves first."

"Okay~"
