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

Chapter 678 The atmosphere has been built up to this point, and you're telling me you're on vacation?

Once the cheerful atmosphere in the lab had subsided, Xu Qingzhou clapped his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.

"All right."

Xu Qingzhou said in a deep voice: "Over the past 50 years, battery short circuits, lifespan degradation, and safety risks caused by lithium dendrite growth have been the 'Achilles' heel' of the global new energy industry."

"And the fact that we managed to remove this problem from the stage of human history in just nine months is nothing short of a miracle."

"I believe that your names will surely be recorded on the milestones of human scientific progress."

"."

"We still have a lot of work to do. Next, we will conduct cross-validation of the data, eliminate interference from the control group, perform in-depth analysis of the mechanism, and conduct a safety risk assessment."

Xu Qingzhou gave a brief summary, originally planning to give everyone a break to rest for a while before finishing up, but Zhao Shengwen and others refused on the spot.

The atmosphere has been built up to this point, and you're telling me it's a vacation?

So the lithium dendrite group got busy again.

Zhao Shengwen was in charge of arranging the final work, and then Song Yao sent people from Zero Point Technology to coordinate the patent application.

"What are you grinning about?" After arranging the work, Zhao Shengwen noticed that Gong Yunfei, who had been looking at the documents, had suddenly fallen into a daze.

"It just feels a bit like a dream," Gong Yunfei said, snapping back to reality.

"Dreamy my foot! Young people need to have some self-control. Look at Ya Yu, how calm she is," Zhao Shengwen said irritably.

On one side, Hung Ya-yu's expression was indifferent, or rather, she had no expression at all.

"How can you call that calm? She had the same expression even when she was hitting me."

As Gong Yunfei spoke, he mentally complained, "Professor, why don't you take a look at how many emojis she sent in the group?"
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and get the precursors to make the next batch of samples."

"okay."

Gong Yunfei set off eagerly.

Zhao Shengwen glanced at the researchers who were busy in the lab, shook his head, went back to his office, put on his reading glasses, opened his notebook, and prepared to write an experimental plan.

5 minutes passed.

Inside the office, the old man held a pen, staring intently at his notebook.

Hey~
The phone on the table vibrated twice.

"Whoo~"

Zhao Shengwen snapped out of his daze and muttered to himself.

"My goodness, we actually solved the lithium dendrite problem!"

office.

Xu Qingzhou sat down in the chair, let out a long breath, and relaxed completely.

"The lithium dendrite problem has been completely solved."

It feels a bit like playing a game, passing through level after level.

From September last year to June this year.

Xu Qingzhou stood by the window, his gaze drifting into the distance. Besides excitement and exhilaration, he was now also feeling a bit sentimental.

"Time flies so fast."

"The lithium dendrite problem has been solved so smoothly. Now, the only things left are the shuttle effect and controlled nuclear fusion."

The latter cannot be resolved overnight, as for the shuttle effect. These days, Zheng Xu has also been working overtime with his team, and they should be able to narrow down the scope a bit more soon.

According to the usual practice of some research institutes, they might be gathering reporters at this time, preparing to hold a press conference.

But Xu Qingzhou was prepared to hold back for a while longer.

As mentioned earlier, there is still a lot of work to be done. TiON-TiO nanocoatings and other coatings still have defects, and these need to be iterated through a lot of experiments to reach perfection.

Xu Qingzhou rested in his office for half an hour, then went to visit Academician Ren Nan and Zheng Xu to check on everyone's progress.

"When I went downstairs just now, I heard howling ghosts from afar. Has Old Zhao and the others made another breakthrough?"

Upon meeting, Zheng Xu asked curiously.

Xu Qingzhou nodded and said, "Yes, the lithium dendrite problem is gone."

"It actually got solved."

Zheng Xu was slightly shocked. Although he had some expectations that Zhao Shengwen and his team would solve the lithium dendrite problem, he was still somewhat taken aback when he actually heard it.

This is, after all, a major problem that has plagued humanity for a long time. "No wonder I could hear the cheers from the lithium dendrite group even from several buildings away."

As Zheng Xu sighed, his sense of urgency intensified. "It seems we need to speed things up."

"Experiments can't be rushed."

Zheng Xu handed over several documents. "Ahem~ Professor Xu, you've come at the right time. I happen to have a few models here that I need to refine."

Xu Qingzhou still didn't get a break, and worked overtime for two days with Zheng Xu to finish the reaction path model of the quantum dot catalyst.

Saturday, April 6.

As the sun set, Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao, having just finished exercising, returned to the villa, bathed in the last rays of the setting sun.

"It feels better to sweat a little."

Xu Qingzhou moved his arms.

Song Yao said disdainfully, "Just now, someone was still sitting in the chair, not wanting to go out."

"Judging by actions rather than intentions, I still managed to get out."

That's because you're afraid of getting beaten up.

"Why does my mom always think I'm bullying you when you're the one exploiting me?"

"嘁~"

"This yard needs a proper cleaning," Xu Qingzhou said, wiping the sweat from his brow as he surveyed the small courtyard.

Both of them are quite busy, unlike those retired elderly people who have time to fuss over their yards. Because they want to maintain the original landscape from when they first arrived, they ask the property management to send someone over to trim it every now and then.

"We'll start construction when we have some free time in a while."

Xu Qingzhou stroked his chin and said, "We can set up a swing here and plant some flowers and plants that we like over there. This style doesn't suit energetic young people like us."

"A swing? How childish."

"This is childlike innocence."

The two chatted on and on as they pushed open the door and went inside.

living room.

Er Miao lay lazily on the sofa.

Seeing the two-legged creatures return, it wagged its tail, wanting to come over and beg for a hug, but quickly walked away in disgust.

Xu Qingzhou sat down, took a sip of water, and then felt the girl put her feet over.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Qingzhou asked the question knowing the answer already.

Song Yao glanced at the fascia gun in her bag, her meaning clear.

"Ha, now they're using me as free labor."

In the evening, the two of them cooked some noodles.

"You're a pervert who likes legs. But look at it another way, you're working for yourself."

Song Yao picked a grape and fed it to Xu Qingzhou.

"It is reasonable and well-founded, and it is convincing."

Xu Qingzhou couldn't refute it. If you don't fully relax your muscles after running, your calves are prone to becoming thicker.

Her legs were long, fair, and delicate with beautiful lines, truly deserving of the title "leg goddess." Her toes would occasionally wiggle playfully.

Seeing Xu Qingzhou staring at her feet, Song Yao shoved another grape into her hand. "Professor Xu, here's a grape for you, but don't even think about licking my feet."

"Why do you always think I'll lick your feet, especially when you haven't washed them yet?"

Xu Qingzhou asked irritably.

"You do not want it?"

"."

Xu Qingzhou fell silent.

I've thought about it, but thinking about it doesn't break the law, and he's not really that perverted, is he?

Seeing that Xu Qingzhou remained silent, Song Yao snorted, revealing an expression that said, "I've seen right through you. If it's the original version, this guy might get even more excited."
