From top student in college to scientific research powerhouse

Chapter 20 Your idea has a promising future!

What happens in the applied electromagnetics laboratory is no secret.

It's quite unusual for a PhD student to sell his research methods for nearly two million yuan.

The next morning, at the Institute of Micro-Nano Optics, Jiangzhou University.

Tan Yanming sat in his office, dealing with a female researcher who came to ask for funding, his face full of distress.

Tan Yanming has many accolades.

This includes academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, deputy directors of the Faculty of Science and deans of the School of Physics at Jiangzhou University, as well as the director of the Institute of Micro-Nano Optics, a key national research institution.

As a key national research institution, the Institute of Micro-Nano Optics is very large, with more than forty researchers.

Sun Wen is one of them.

She is an expert in the field of optical sensing, and her team is designing a visual light sensing model.

Simply put, it's about researching how to hide things so that they are not visible to the human eye.

This is a very interesting direction.

Tan Yanming also found it very interesting, but the problem was that the institute's funding made it seem uninteresting!
He said with a headache, "Professor Sun, I understand that your group is short of funding, but you can't always ask the institute for it, can you?"

"The institute's funding is also limited. We can't give all the funds to you to support so many research projects, can we?"

Sun Wen is in her forties, thin and frail, and wears thick glasses.

She spoke with a strong tone, "The science grant wouldn't approve my application, and the province and the university only gave me some money. What else can I do if I don't go to the institute!"

"Academician Tan, you have to solve our problems, otherwise the research can't continue."

"You're aware of our research..."

She talked for a long time.

Tan Yanming was completely bewildered. He covered his forehead with his hand and noticed his assistant Deng Jian at the door. He immediately waved and asked, "What is it?"

Deng Jian glanced at Sun Wen as he entered before speaking, "It's nothing serious, I just heard some news."

"Say!"

"There's a PhD student in the Physics Department who sold his research findings for two million. He's from the Electromagnetism Lab and is Professor Xue Kun's student."

"What achievement could be worth two million?"

Tan Yanming asked instinctively, then realized, "Xue Kun's student? His name is Zhang... right?"

"Zhang Minghao."

"Yes, that's him!"

Tan Yanming immediately stood up happily, "I know this student. He just enrolled not long ago. When he enrolled, his information was mentioned here, saying that he was expelled from Donggang University."

“I said at the time, what does the expulsion from Donggang have to do with us? There is no admission rule that says we can’t be expelled students from other universities.”

"really!"

“This student is extraordinary!” Tan Yanming said, sounding like a discerning talent scout.

He paced back and forth thoughtfully for a few moments, then said, "We need to pay close attention to this matter, find out what kind of research it is, and understand the specifics."

"Deng Jian, I'm leaving this matter to you."

Deng Jianli immediately nodded in agreement, "I'll go right away!"

After Deng Jian left, Tan Yanming looked at Sun Wen again and immediately had something to say, "Professor Sun, listen to this."

“A PhD student can sell his research results for two million. You are also doing applied research, so you can also find outside companies to invest in you.”

“The research institute receives limited funding; only external companies have the money.”

"Stop always asking the institute for money..."

……

Zhang Minghao went to an English class, and afterwards went to the electromagnetism lab.

He was in a good mood.

When I entered, I whistled twice, but when I found the workspace was empty, I simply started patiently looking at the documents.

Yesterday I talked with three professors about the research direction of the project, and the tinene direction still has potential.

Semiconductor models can also be used to calculate the substrates needed to manufacture stanene, but even with a perfect model, there will still be deviations in the calculations, mainly because stanene differs from conventional semiconductors.

The manufacture of tinene certainly has potential, but the research and development is too difficult.

If you're at a lower level and don't pursue high-quality manufacturing, it's not difficult to achieve results.

He carefully studied the materials, hoping to acquire more knowledge and come up with more research methods in the field of tinene.

He didn't know how much time had passed when he looked up to rest for a while, looked around, and suddenly realized what was strange.

Chen Lanjun is not here!
The head of the office, who's usually in charge, is nowhere to be found?

Chen Lanjun is in Chen Shuai's office.

Chen Shuai was saying to her, "I have an idea related to your doctoral dissertation."

“Previously, the project team had been working on stanene, and we had a lot of experimental data. You can focus on studying stanene in a single direction, analyzing the relationship between the surface electrons and atoms of bismuth telluride and the properties of stanene.”

"A little progress in this direction is enough for you to complete your graduation thesis!"

Chen Lanjun frowned upon hearing this.

Chen Shuai thought Chen Lanjun was thinking about the new idea he had mentioned, so he calmly picked up his teacup.

The next moment, Chen Lanjun asked doubtfully, "Teacher Chen, are you sure this is your idea?" "It sounded familiar, isn't it Zhang Minghao..."

"Pfft~~!"

Chen Shuai spat out a mouthful of tea, his face turning bright red. He quickly covered it up with two light coughs and said awkwardly, "It was Zhang Minghao's idea. I thought it was good, so I told you about it."

He suddenly leaned closer and whispered, "I have some news for you, but don't tell anyone..."

"Yesterday, there was a research project on startup technology..."

"Nearly two million!"

Five minutes later, Chen Lanjun returned to the workroom and saw Zhang Minghao intently studying the documents. She immediately greeted him, "Junior!"

"coming!"

As she spoke, she pulled up a chair and sat down close to him, holding one arm with both hands and hugging it tightly in her arms.

Zhang Minghao was a little confused.

He looked down at the arm that was being held in the other person's arms, feeling the complicated situation the arm was in, and quickly pulled it out forcefully, asking, "What kind of conspiracy is this?"

"What are you thinking about!"

Chen Lanjun said with a grin, "Junior brother... no, Brother Minghao, tell me again about that research direction you mentioned last time?"

"It's about stanene, the one with atomic and electronic properties..."

Zhang Minghao made a vomiting face, turned around, and asked in confusion, "Weren't you not interested?"

“Now I’m interested,” Chen Lanjun said very seriously.

"why?"

"Because your idea... has a promising future!"

……

New technology startups place great importance on semiconductor models.

After the verbal agreement was reached, they sent a team over in just two days, including a manager, an assistant, and three researchers.

Li Jiaxin is still alive; he is also one of the researchers.

After the startup team arrived at the school, they communicated with the school officials and decided to sign the contract in the administration building.

Conference room in the administration building.

Zhang Minghao, Xue Kun, and Zhu Bingkun were all present, along with Wang Guiyuan, the administrative director, and Zhou Qi, the assistant, from the school.

Tan Yanming also came.

He asked his assistant to find out more information and, knowing that the contract was to be signed today, came over specifically to check on the situation.

Although it's a doctoral student selling research methods and has no direct connection to the university, he is, after all, a doctoral student at Jiangzhou University, so the university can benefit from the reputation.

Therefore, the school attaches great importance to it.

With the help of the administration, Tan Yanming reviewed each clause of the contract, and he also discussed the issue of ownership of the results with manager Lin Ming.

"Regardless of the contract, the ownership of the model results must now belong to Zhang Minghao."

"You can't say that buying the research methods means you also take over the research results, can you?"

"Of course."

Lin Ming patted his chest and assured him, "Our goal is to improve the model and then use it to assist our research and development."

"To monopolize research results is academic plunder, which is too serious. The researcher of the model is still Zhang Minghao, and when it is released to the public one day, Zhang Minghao's name will be listed."

"Even if it were to be named, it would be called the 'Zhang's Model'."

"That's right."

After Tan Yanming finished speaking, he shouted, "Add this clause to the terms as well."

After more than an hour, the agreement was finally signed.

Next, we took photos to commemorate the occasion.

Zhang Minghao and Lin Ming stood together on the podium in the conference room of the administration building, holding up the contract. Behind them, on either side of the blackboard, were written 'Jiangzhou University' and 'New Creation Technology' respectively.

After the contract is signed, it is up to both parties to fulfill the agreement.

The startup company transferred the money to Zhang Minghao's personal account, and Zhang Minghao was to teach their research methods to their team.

That's why the three researchers came.

They were all quite impatient.

Over the past two days, they have studied the semiconductor model again, but still cannot find a correlation between the model and the atomic and electronic layers of the substrate material.

What is the connection between the two?
How exactly is the semiconductor model derived?
The answer will be revealed soon.
