The red semaphore flashes continuously.
Under the busy work of the engineer, the faulty program was forcibly terminated, and the temperature of the processor finally dropped.
However, with the termination of the calculation program, the azure blue light that marked "hope" also dimmed.
"The 31st experiment."
Staring at the cabinet in the radiation-protected isolation room, David's nose was almost poking at David on the floor-to-ceiling glass.
The 31st experiment.
No doubt it still failed.
The atmosphere inside the institute was dignified, except that the parallel computing engineers responsible for operating supercomputing whispered technical issues, and everyone was very sluggish. Don't want to say a word.
Not only are we tired of being super-calculated, but also all the researchers who worked hard for this project.
In this month, for this mathematical model, the D.E.Shaw Institute has burned at least 10 million US dollars.
During this period, the D.E.Shaw Institute continued to improve the calculation program, and Lu Zhou continued to modify the details in the theoretical model through the collected calculation data.
However, with the exception of a few blackboards full of paper and a pile of waste paper, there were no encouraging results.
"Sure enough ..." Looking at the engineers entering the isolation room, David sighed softly.
"Otherwise, I'll pay for this money." Lu Zhou said slightly indifferently.
"It's okay, this money is nothing. Scientific research is like gambling, so I went to Las Vegas." Compared to those dignified engineers and frustrated doctors in computational chemistry, David Although his face was full of distress, his tone was quite relaxed.
I do n’t know if it ’s true that there is no place to spend more money, or if he was told by scientific intuition that this idea must have deeper value.
Therefore, he is willing to spend this money.
But after saying this, he couldn't help but add the following sentence, "Although I never lost so much when I went to Las Vegas."
After the experiment, there is a routine summary meeting.
At the meeting, everyone's performance was silent.
After Lu Zhou briefly spoke his own point of view, the leaders of the two experimental groups were basically speaking for the rest of the time.
As for David, he remained silent until the end of the meeting.
"Maintain Anton and start the 32nd experiment in three days," said nothing, David looked at the engineer closest to him, and simply ordered, "I hope you can Make sure Anton is running at its best. "
The engineer nodded, "Yes, boss!"
"Not just super-calculation, I also need to rest, I believe you are the same." Taking off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, David rubbed his eyebrows.
...
For scientific research, a small setback is nothing.
Even though it has failed thirty-one times, no one has mentioned the word abandonment.
After all, everyone knows that there is no truth that can be reached in smooth sailing.
In order to improve his theoretical model, Lu Zhou was ready to fail a hundred times.
However, if the 50th experiment is still inconclusive, he said that nothing will make David alone in the cost of research.
Even though the money might be really nothing to David, it still made him feel bad.
After the meeting, Lu Zhou from the institute did not return to the dormitory immediately, but took a walk on the campus of Columbia University.
It's not just Anton who needs to rest. After experiencing a fierce mental exercise, he also needs some time to relax his overheated brain.
At least, during these three days of rest, he intends to set aside one day and not think about difficult questions for the time being.
Passing through the square in front of the library, the aimlessly scattered land boat subconsciously avoided all academic-related places.
I just do n’t know how long it has been.
When he returned to God, he was already standing downstairs at Columbia University's philosophy.
Looking at the information marked on the phone map, Lu Zhou shook his head with a smile.
"Should this be a fate?"
Being so connected with philosophy, he couldn't cheer him up at all.
A bronze statue sits quietly on the lawn in front of the Philosophy Building.
His right fist was half-gripped, and it rested on his jaw. The muscles in the whole body are tightened, and they are completely integrated with the locked eyebrows, just like a living person, immersed in distressed thinking.
It is said that this statue is one of the four most highly simulated "thinkers" in the world today.
Compared to the other three brothers, however, the thinker seemed much colder. Except for the land boat standing in front of it, all he faced was an unattended lawn.
Reaching out and pressing on the bronze statue, feeling the coldness of the fingertips, Lu Zhou sighed.
"From you, I seem to see myself."
Thought is a painful thing.
Especially when thought can't find a way out.
Somehow, Lu Zhou suddenly came up with an unrealistic idea.
If anyone can stand up suddenly, just give yourself a little inspiration.
Even if it's just a little ...
But soon, Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head.
If inspiration is so easy to be born, then the price is too cheap.
This is a theory that is about to change the chemistry world. It's not a cheap thing ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But when he just thought so, an accident happened suddenly.
There is no sign of warning, and no greeting is required.
The light blue dialog box popped out of his sight ...
[Congratulations to the host for completing the reward task. 】
Lu Zhou: ...?
What the hell? !!
...
Unlike the gloom in the D.E.Shaw Institute, the Materials Institute at Binghamton University is cheering now.
"It's not time to celebrate yet, the experiment has been successful, but don't roll over at the last minute," restraining the surging joy, Stanley ordered his assistant, "Apply for a patent right away. Patent No!"
"Yes, professor!" The assistant nodded excitedly and quickly walked out of the laboratory.
Returning to the scanning electron microscope, looking at the images collected on the screen, Professor Stanley's face could no longer be restrained, and a bright smile appeared.
Preliminary analysis proves that this cage-like carbon molecule has been determined to inhibit the diffusion of polysulfide compounds to a certain extent, and the industrial production cost is barely acceptable.
However, how it works in specific lithium-sulfur batteries requires further experiments.
For example, they need to find a suitable mixing ratio and mechanical dispersion method to mix sulfur simple substance with this cage carbon molecule. At the same time, they have to quantitatively test how much this inhibition can be achieved.
However, this does not affect patent applications or publication of papers.
The moment they succeeded in preparing this cage-like carbon molecule, they were already successful.
No doubt, they won!
Grab it in front of that man and take the lead in lithium-sulfur battery projects!
