It turned out that Kaan Ke was not an ordinary person. He studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States in his early years. He was also a leader in the bull-like school, known for his solid academic skills and active thinking. After graduating with a PhD, he returned to Brazil and was hired as a professor by the Brazilian Institute of Aeronautical Technology. He has engaged in a series of research work including superconductivity and has also achieved many excellent results.
For an accidental reason, Caan paid attention to the problem of lightning collection, and immediately indulged in it, unable to extricate himself. In fact, lightning collection is a partial and unsolved problem. Superconducting materials and supercapacitors are the two major problems facing this technology. No one can see where to find solutions to these two major problems. For other scholars, when encountering this kind of problem, they must take a detour, and they do not necessarily bury their good years and future in this bottomless pit. But Ka'an is different. He is an extremely arrogant person. He always thinks that problems that cannot be solved by others are the ones that need him to solve. So the more people persuade him not to plant them, the more he has to rush in without hesitation .
With his own cleverness, Kaan discovered the obstacles in superconducting research at that time, and foresightly proposed that iron-based superconductivity is the way out for superconducting materials research, and copper-based materials have no future. He also figured out a set of methods for making super capacitors, and the idea was also ingenious. He applied to the Brazilian government for a huge amount of money to study iron-based superconducting materials and supercapacitors, and claimed that once these two technologies are solved, the problem of lightning collection will be solved. He also did a cost-benefit calculation, thinking that the money the government invested in him could be recovered hundreds of times through lightning collection in the future, so this investment is totally worth it.
His application report was unexpectedly rejected. In this matter, it is really impossible to say how bureaucratic or short-sighted the Brazilian government is. It can be said that 99% of scientists around the world will not support heavy investment in such projects. The remaining 1% is expected to abstain. Kaan can be paranoid about his ability, but the government and expert committee will not accompany him crazy, and the United States, Russia, and Japan dare not engage in lightning collection. Why does Brazil play such a big project? Brazil is also not a rich country with this money. It is better to engage in universal medical insurance, affordable housing, and hope projects than to throw them into the water?
The leader of the Institute of Aeronautical Technology talked to Ka'an very seriously. The general meaning was to wake him up quickly. Don't waste time on such projects. The party and the country have countless important projects that require his wisdom. Waste of time is a crime against the people.
There is no doubt that this exhortation is invalid here in Kaan. Although he is a professional scientist. But in terms of broom self-cherishing, it is no different from folk scientists. He believes that the bureaucracy from top to bottom is foolish and cannot see the value of his proposal. He firmly believes that if the government can support him to develop a lightning collection system, Brazil will leap ahead of the rest of the world.
Kaan and the school carried it. The school did not let him continue to study, he just wanted to continue to study. Without funding, he first did theoretical research and worked out a lot of theoretical models. Then submit to international journals. It is irritating that those well-known international journals are not interested in this infamous thing, but several influential publications published his articles. But the citation rate is always zero, and there is no splash at all.
Because he did not do the tasks assigned by the school, his original rights were gradually taken back, and he became an alternative in the school. Unable to get support from the school, Ca'an began to lobby outwards. He went to state government officials and big Brazilian entrepreneurs, hoping that these people could support his ideas, but unfortunately. Everyone flatly refused his request before listening to his narrative. Make him come back again and again.
Then Kaan did one thing. He got a paint spray gun and sprayed the slogan "Thunder and lightning collection, benefiting the country and the people" in the streetlight poles, overpasses and other places in Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and other places. I hope someone can see it and start paying attention About it. It is naturally impossible to brush the advertisement without leaving contact methods. The police stations around the place followed him, pressed him directly at the door, and issued him a huge ticket.
In this way, he was convicted of all property for graffiti in public places, his wife divorced him, and took his child back to his mother's house. He himself was expelled from the school to teach, and ended up on the streets.
"Uh……"
After listening to Kaan's readme, he bit his teeth quietly and desperately, fearing that he would laugh out loud. This dear is really too embarrassing, just stick to his academic thoughts, and even open his mind to paint advertisements. I don't know if he is stupid or too arrogant. If you think about it, there are some emotions that are quiet and inexplicable. Indeed, if Kaan is willing to give up his thoughts, it is estimated that he is still a well-known professor who has gone out to five people and six people. However, he chose to insist on it, and he really widened his regrets.
"But what do you want to say to me?" Tranquility returned to the original question. She was just a tourist coming to Brazil. What did Ca'an do to her?
Kaan was silent for a while and said, "At first I thought you were Japanese and wanted to ask you to go back to Japan to help me understand whether any company is willing to fund my research. Since you are Chinese ..."
"What's wrong with the Chinese?" Tranquility stared at your eyes. You are all mixed up, and you still discriminate against the Chinese. Believe me or not, I called my husband and pack up for you?
Knowing that she was guilty, Kaan explained quickly: "No, no, I have no intention of discriminating against China. I just think that there may not be too many large enterprises in China. It is even harder to find companies that can fund this project. "
Serenity asked coldly, "How much funding do you need?"
"At least, it needs 50 million reais," Caan said.
The real is the new currency of Brazil, which was 1: 1 against the U.S. dollar before depreciation. Ca'an said that it needs 50 million reais, which is equivalent to US $ 50 million. This is indeed a very large amount of money. It is no wonder that the Brazilian government does not give Ca'an face. With the words of red mouth and white teeth, Kaan said that he hoped that a company could provide so much money to support him, and no one would agree.
"What do you want so much money for?" Said Tranquility. "Do you use the money to build a thunder and lightning power station?"
"No, this money is used to overcome the two major obstacles to lightning collection, namely superconducting materials and supercapacitors. For both of them, I have mature ideas, but only need financial support. If there are companies willing to fund, I can transfer 50% of the research results to this company ... "Kaan said.
Tranquil laughed, and the set of Ka An said was really similar to Qin Hai's usual practice. It is just that Qin Hai belongs to the party who pays the money. He often finds a scientist, and then pays the money himself, the other party gives wisdom, overcomes a difficult problem together, and divides the final result into two or five. If these two technologies were not too outrageous by Kaan, Tranquil would really like to draw a line between him and Qin Hai.
"Stop super capacitors, just iron-based normal temperature superconducting materials, can it be developed for 50 million US dollars?" Serenity asked with a bit of sarcasm.
Kaan shook his head and said, "It should not be enough, but as long as I prove the existence of iron-based superconductivity, it is a great breakthrough, and there will be companies willing to continue investing."
He laughed quietly, and the existence of iron-based superconductors did not need Kaan to prove it. Kaan has left his research position for several years and is out of touch with the times. Of course, without Qin Hai's existence, the breakthrough of iron-based superconductivity would not be realized so quickly. Kaan did not know that iron-based superconducting materials had already appeared in the world, which is also in line with general scientific research rules.
At this time, Su Ze came with their wives in this direction. Tranquility didn't want them to see that they were chatting with a tramp, so they stood up and said to Kaan, "Mr. Kaan, your idea is very Interesting, I will introduce it to others. I want to ask, if someone is interested in your research, how should he contact you? "
Caan handed Tranquil a business card and said, "This is my business card. This phone will not change in the short term. As for the address ... I can't guarantee it."
When it came to the last sentence, he was a little embarrassed again. His current living status is that he has no place to live, which is really not like a decent lifestyle.
Quietly accepted the business card, hesitated, took out a few Brazilian banknotes from his pocket, and said, "Mr. Caan, maybe you need this ..."
"No, no!" Kaan seemed to be scorched by fire ~ EbookFREE.me ~ stepped back quickly and stuttered: "Thank you, Miss, but I am not a beggar, I also have a job now ... I mean, I might have some temporary work to make ends meet. "
"That was the case, it was presumptuous." Tranquil smiled slightly, put away the money, then nodded and said goodbye to Kaan, and walked towards Su Ze and others. She knew that Kaan was still maintaining his self-esteem. Maybe as he said, he could find some temporary jobs and earn money for food. She gave alms to Kaan in such a sudden way.
"Mrs. Qin, how did you meet him, what did he say to you?" Su Ze walked over quickly to meet the tranquility, then squinted at Kaan who had just walked away and asked for tranquility.
"Why, you know him too?" Quiet asked strangely.
"Of course I know, he is a lunatic, and no one in Sao Paulo does not know him." Su Ze said in a scornful tone. (To be continued)
ps: By the way, using a spray gun to spread advertisements on telephone poles and overpasses to publicize their ideas, not made up by oranges. This was something that was done by a civil science officer in the late 1990s. At the time, many overpasses did this A sentence "xx code, unified the world" ... laughed
