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

Chapter 625 Have these two already arranged for the child?

Solid-state batteries have their own advantages and can serve as a supplement to lithium-sulfur batteries in the future. For now, let others take the lead; Xu Qingzhou still prefers lithium-sulfur batteries.

Even if solid-state batteries can't keep up with the pace, some technologies in their lab can still contribute and speed things up.

After finishing his tea, Xu Qingzhou decided not to stay any longer and got up to take his leave.

"Why don't you sit a little longer?"

Gu Zhizhong asked with a smile.

"There's a ton of stuff going on at the research institute," Xu Qingzhou said, shaking his head helplessly.

The institute currently has three projects. Although he doesn't need to manage every detail, all three experiments are already at a bottleneck.

Ordinary methods won't work.

As mentioned earlier, the development of science involves a period of accumulation and quantitative change.

Occasionally, some exceptional individuals will break the pattern.

In 905, Einstein proposed the special theory of relativity (E=mc²), and in 1915, the general theory of relativity predicted gravitational waves, completely rewriting humanity's understanding of spacetime.

Tesla invented the multiphase alternating current motor in 1888, which promoted the global popularization of electricity.

Or there's Tim Berners-Lee, the founder of the World Wide Web. In 1989, he created the HTTP/HTML protocol at CERN Labs and can be considered a pioneer of the digital age.

These people are crucial to the course of world events.

To keep breaking the rules, you need to use some cutting-edge technology.

Based on Xu Qingzhou's previous prediction, Zhao Shengwen arranged a total of 10 sets of comparative experiments.

Characterization and Testing Center.

In the core instrument area, several staff members wearing white coats were serious and meticulous as they placed samples into scanning electron microscopes (SEM) and transmission electron microscopes (TEM) and started the instruments.

The central control room next door.

The integrated RISE electron microscope Raman system synchronously displays electron microscope images and Raman spectra.

"Amazing!"

As soon as Xu Qingzhou entered, Zhao Shengwen said excitedly, "We've found the reason why dendrites penetrate the diaphragm. It's the problem of weak cyano coordination you mentioned!"

Xu Qingzhou looked at the Raman spectrum and quickly figured out the reason: "The cyano group has weak coordination ability, and the active substances Zn and Li cannot be effectively anchored, leading to an increase in irreversible side reactions."

Researcher Xu Xiaochuan, wearing glasses, showed an admiring expression: "In complex solution systems, other ligands such as OH and Cl may preferentially bind to metal ions. For example, Zn is more likely to form Zn(OH) precipitate with OH when pH>6, which masks the actual coordination ability of the cyano group. As a result, we wasted an afternoon trying to outwit the ionic liquid and the solvent."

"If it weren't for you, we would probably have taken a lot more detours."

Zhao Shengwen looked at the fluctuating data and sighed in agreement.

"I was just lucky," Xu Qingzhou said modestly with a smile.

"Finding the problem at a glance isn't just a matter of luck."

Zhao Shengwen shook his head. To see the problem at a glance requires extremely terrifying experimental experience, which is also the point he often lamented.

Xu Qingzhou is only 23 years old, but he is more experienced than their professor who is over fifty.

On one side, Xu Qingzhou finished reviewing the latest sets of data.

Xu Xiaochuan said, "We want to design dicyano ligands and introduce 1,4-butanedionitrile (dicyano). Our preliminary estimate is that the coordination number will be increased from 4 to 6."

"Okay, it seems there's basically nothing for me to do here."

"."

In the last month of 2019, the signs of winter were already quite evident, with a chill in the wind.

airport.

"Dad, Mom, Aunt Wang, Uncle Xu," Song Yao greeted the four middle-aged men carrying large and small bags.

"Xiao Yao, could you please come and pick us up?"

"Auntie, you're too kind."

Looking at the graceful girl, Wang Xiaping was filled with admiration. She had always thought the girl was beautiful, and although her personality was a bit cold, she could keep Xu Qingzhou in check. Over the past few years, the girl seemed to have become more lively, and she often smiled.

According to tradition, after the wedding ceremony and the giving of a red envelope to the bride, the bride should start calling her "Mom." The form of address doesn't really matter, since the couple is already married.

Looking at her daughter wearing only a sweater and a coat, Zhang Junli couldn't help but say, "It's so cold, and you're only wearing this much?"

"It's not actually cold if you stay indoors all the time."

Two large men are carrying suitcases into the car.

Wang Xiaping also said with concern, "Xiao Yao, you still need to pay attention to keeping warm, especially when you are not feeling well."

She knew that Song Yaoyue had returned to menstruation at the beginning of the month.

"Okay, I'll wear more clothes when I go out in the future. Mom, Aunt Wang, you can go to the car first."

Song Yao felt a warmth in her heart. Seeing that Lao Song and the others had finished moving their luggage, she called her parents to get in the car first.

After getting on the bus, Wang Xiaping asked, "Has that brat finished his work yet?"

"He won't be back until six o'clock today."

Song Yao started the car and headed towards Xishan No. 1 Courtyard.

Zhang Junli, standing to the side, said with a smile, "Qingzhou manages such a large research institute, it's normal for him to be busy. Let's go buy groceries first, and we can eat when he gets back."

When we first came here, everyone felt that going out to eat was pointless and that we had to stay at home.

"Okay, let's go to the market first."

"I haven't been to Kyoto for several years, and it has changed so much." Song Shisong couldn't help but sigh as he looked out the window at the scenery rushing past.

Xu Shouyun nodded: "Yes, without young people to lead the way, we probably wouldn't be able to find our way."

Wang Xiaping and Zhang Junli asked Xu Qingzhou about their lives, while the two middle-aged men remarked on the country's prosperity.

At 4 p.m., when they got off the car at the villa, the group had an extra pile of groceries they had just bought.

Song Yao led the four middle-aged people on a tour of the house, including the master bedroom, guest room, study, gym, and even a maid's room, which was now used to store miscellaneous items.

Xu Shouyun and the others sighed again upon seeing this.

For them, spending money on a house is nothing to regret; only with a house can they truly settle down. When they heard that the two young people had spent tens of millions to buy a villa, they were only worried that the two would suffer losses, not that they were heartbroken about the money.

Looking back now, it was worth the money. The community has a landscape garden with a classic charm, and the villa's interior is equally exquisite, elegant, and sophisticated.

Afterwards, everyone went to the small courtyard.

"That's so nice, so nice."

Looking at the villa's exquisite courtyard, the two middle-aged women couldn't stop smiling.

“You could actually grow some vegetables here,” Wang Xiaping said, pointing to the empty space in the yard.

"Xu Qingzhou said he wanted to get a swing or something."

Song Yao explained that after moving in, the two of them were busy every day and had completely forgotten about the swing.

"Swing?"

Wang Xiaping was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to remember what it was. In the minds of her generation, swings were just toys for children.

He's already in his mid-twenties, and he's still thinking about making a swing?
Or is it actually made for children?
Wang Xiaping's eyes lit up, and the more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

"The swing is nice."

Wang Xiaping added with a smile.

Song Yao's expression was strange, but she couldn't translate why Wang Xiaping was obviously happier than before after hearing that it was a swing.

Seeing that it was almost time, the three women went to the kitchen to get busy, while Lao Xu and Lao Song became useless, taking out the chess set from their bags and setting it up in front of the French windows.

(Happy Dragon Boat Festival!)
(Wishing everyone a happy and healthy Dragon Boat Festival!)
(I didn't expect the Dragon Boat Festival to fall on the last day of May. I have to spend time with my family tomorrow, so I probably won't be able to update. As my regular readers know, I usually take a day off at the beginning of the month, so I'll move it to tomorrow and resume updating in early June. Bowing to everyone, I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival!)
