Arriving at School of Materials Science, Xiao Yi is not very unfamiliar with this place.
In fact, he already knew quite a few of the professors here.
During this period, many people came to him because of Science Island Laboratory and School of Materials Science, mainly hoping to reach cooperation with the laboratory after Science Island Laboratory was completed.
For example, the dean of School of Materials Science and several academicians came to see him.
After all, this is a laboratory worth 500 million. Judging from the specifications of the laboratory alone, such an expensive cost is considered to be quite high nationwide, and the various experimental instruments used in it must be quite advanced.
For those professors at School of Materials Science, they must be greedy.
Naturally, Xiao Yi did not completely reject this. He wanted to build a laboratory of his own. The original purpose was just to ensure that when he wanted to use the laboratory, he could use it at any time.
And when he doesn't need it, it's no problem to rent it to others.
This can be regarded as interpersonal communication. Since he is now in Fei City, it is naturally impossible to completely avoid Academic Circle of Fei City.
Of course, probably because he agreed to cooperate, the people at School of Materials Science also had a good attitude towards him, so as soon as he arrived at School of Materials Science, he bumped into a professor at School of Materials Science.
The professor greeted him, "Professor Xiao, why are you free to come to our college today?"
Xiao Yi said with a smile, "Professor Chen, I came here today to borrow the laboratory."
Professor Chen suddenly laughed, "Hahaha, Science Island Laboratory hasn't been built yet, so it really can't be used. I guess Professor Xiao can't wait to use Science Island Laboratory."
Xiao Yi shrugged helplessly. "I can't help it, I can't wait to travel to one year later."
Professor Chen smiled, and then said, "Well... if you want to borrow a laboratory, the laboratories should be free today."
"Oh? School of Materials Science and when the laboratory is empty?"
Xiao Yi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
USTC and School of Materials Science can be regarded as relatively bulky. Major laboratories are basically fully booked every day, but there are still cases where they are all empty?
Professor Chen smiled and said, "The main reason is that someone in our college is graduating today. Her graduation defense is being held. The teachers and graduate students in the college ran over to watch."
"Speaking of which, you should also know this person, Professor Xiao. He is Sun Lina's student, Luo Mingya. I remember that you collaborated on a project last year, and even published it in nature, which makes us envious."
"Oh, I remembered it! It seems that your Absolute Electronic Computation was created at that time, tsk tsk tsk..."
Professor Chen clicked his tongue and sighed, that is Absolute Electronic Computation...
However, after hearing his words, Xiao Yi was immediately stunned.
What?
Luo Mingya Is it time to graduate?
Isn't this a bit too sudden?
It seems like, didn't Luo Mingya's PhD only last two years?
Hmm...
In fact, he went a little further. He only studied for one year and then got two doctorate degrees.
Of course, considering Luo Mingya's many achievements, it is reasonable for her to graduate with a doctorate in two years.
However, judging from the previous situation, it doesn't look like she wants to graduate?
Xiao Yi also learned from Xu Ming that the reason why Luo Mingya came back after finishing his master's degree in Cambridge was mainly because he came to be Sun Lina As a student, she has tens of millions of funds for her to use every year to do the projects she wants to do. But abroad, she definitely does not have such treatment. Those tutors may not have so much money to do projects every year, and even if they do, they cannot let her control it.
Therefore, Xiao Yi felt confused.
Then, he asked Professor Chen his question.
Professor Chen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know. Of course, it would be fine if she stayed in the school after graduation, but it seems that she is planning to leave. Although the dean and others are trying to persuade her, they are not persuaded."
"Two professors from National University of Defense Technology came yesterday. One of them seems to be an academician of the military. He is planning to take Luo Mingya to do research on a project in the military after her graduation defense."
Xiao Yi was stunned, Luo Mingya plans to do military-related research?
"Hey, let's not talk about it. Her defense should start soon. I'm about to go there now. If Professor Xiao wants to borrow a laboratory, just go to the laboratory building. There should be an administrator there. Or do you want to go and see it together? I heard that her graduation thesis can also be published in the top journals."
Xiao Yi thought for a while, finally nodded and said, "Then please ask Professor Cheng to lead the way."
Professor Chen nodded with a smile and walked in front, and Xiao Yi quickly followed.
Soon we arrived at the lecture hall, which was quite large and could probably seat hundreds of people.
At this time, people from School of Materials Science were entering the door. Obviously, Luo Mingya's graduation defense really attracted a lot of people.
She is indeed the "female bully" School of Materials Science.
When Xiao Yi came over, he was immediately recognized by many people.
"I'm going, Scholar Xiao!"
"Scholar Xiao is here too!"
Soon, the movement at the door was also transmitted into the lecture hall.
At this time, standing in front of the lecture hall was Luo Mingya, and at this time Fei Xiaonan, the dean of School of Materials Science, was talking to her.
"Hey, Mingya, why are you bothering? Wouldn't it be better to just stay with our USTC? Why go to their National University of Defense Technology? It's totally unnecessary! If you want to become a strong country through scientific research, you can go anywhere!"
Luo Mingya said, "I have already thought about it, mainly the project there, which is related to a topic that I have always been interested in. I can come into contact with more advanced results in this area."
"When this result is achieved, I might come back."
Fei Xiaonan sighed helplessly, "Okay, although I don't know what project you are talking about, it seems that the confidentiality level is quite high..."
"No matter what, I must come back when the time comes."
Luo Mingya smiled softly, "Everyone in the college calls me a female bully. Maybe they will be happy after I leave."
Fei Xiaonan glared. "Who said that! Many people in our college hope you stay."
Just kidding, although Luo Mingya is well-known in their college, but on the other hand, the many achievements made by Luo Mingya have also improved the ranking of their college among Materials Science majors in major universities across the country. At the same time, they have also attracted an unknown amount of cooperation and funding.
This involves the funding allocation policy of the college. A good professor can often get a large amount of funding from institutions like the National Natural Science Foundation. Then the university or college can deduct a certain percentage from this funding to support the cost of infrastructure construction of the college, or part of the funding will be handed over to the financial department of the college or university, and then these departments will reallocate it as needed.
So in most cases, a college would like to have more powerful scholars here.
Therefore, like Luo Mingya, they certainly hope that they can stay.
Female bullies and the like are basically names that are spread among the graduate students. None of the professors would call them that. After all, one of them might have enjoyed the funds Luo Mingya earned for the college.
At this moment, the noise coming from outside the door attracted their attention.
"Scholar Xiao..."
"Scholar Xiao!"
Hearing the names shouted by the students outside, Fei Xiaonan and Luo Mingya couldn't help but look outside.
"Is this...Xiao Yi coming?" Fei Xiaonan said in surprise, and then he walked out.
Luo Mingya also showed an unexpected expression.
Xiao Yi Is it possible that she also knows that today is her graduation defense?
Soon, Xiao Yi appeared at the door, and happened to bump into Fei Xiaonan coming out.
"Dean Fei."
He said hello.
Fei Xiaonan was surprised and said, "I didn't expect it was really you, Professor Xiao. Are you also here to participate in Luo Mingya's defense?"
He turned his head and glanced at Luo Mingya behind him, and then said with a smile, "But it's understandable. Professor Xiao has collaborated with Mingya before."
Xiao Yi glanced at Luo Mingya and nodded towards her.
Luo Mingya also smiled at him.
"I also heard it from Professor Chen." Xiao Yi pointed to Professor Chen next to him, and then said to Luo Mingya with a little curiosity, "However, I am very curious, why do you suddenly plan to graduate?"
Luo Mingya shook his head and said, "Let's wait until my defense is over. There are still five minutes left and my defense will begin."
Hearing what he said, Xiao Yi had no choice but to nod.
Then, under the leadership of Fei Xiaonan, he sat in the second row.
And sitting next to him was Sun Lina.
"Professor Sun, long time no see."
Xiao Yi nodded towards Sun Lina.
At this time, Sun Lina also nodded to him, and then said feebly, "Professor Xiao, it's been a long time indeed."
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yi thought that the other party was because Luo Mingya was about to graduate, so he was a little depressed, so he said comfortingly, "Professor Sun, don't be sad about Luo Mingya's graduation. After all, this day will come, and Luo Mingya is so good, he will definitely be able to continue to produce excellent results in the future."
However, Sun Lina just waved his hand and said, "Thank you, Professor Xiao, I know, I just... ah, I, ah, forget it, let's not say it."
Xiao Yi had a question mark on his face.
At this time, the person sitting behind patted Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi turned his head and saw several Xu Ming people.
Xu Ming came up and whispered in Xiao Yi's ear, "Scholar Xiao, you are wrong. Teacher Sun is simply because, after senior sister graduates, she can no longer act like a fool."
Xiao Yi: "..."
Support the forehead.
Okay, this one sounds more reasonable.
With Luo Mingya here before, Sun Lina could really do well. With the output of Luo Mingya, their laboratory's status will always be the first echelon of their college. But now that Luo Mingya is gone, Sun Lina can only come out again.
I glanced at the salty fish-like Professor Sun next to me, and I couldn't say Xiao Yi was FUCK.
He even suspected that Luo Mingya suddenly made this decision just to stop her cousin from acting like a fool.
Without further ado, Luo Mingya's defense will soon begin.
Indeed, as Professor Chen said before, Luo Mingya's graduation thesis did maintain her usual high level.
And it seems to have continued Xiao Yi's previous results on two-dimensional materials, and conducted more in-depth exploration.
Xiao Yi While watching, he compared some of the findings involved with the design of high-temperature superconducting materials in his mind.
After all, the FeSe/SrTiO3 single-layer superconductor that originally inspired him can be regarded as a two-dimensional superconductor.
Now, he has basically mastered the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity, but he is still far from being able to create a suitable high-temperature superconductor.
In the field of science, it is not a simple matter to combine theory and practice.
In particular, what he wants to synthesize now is a high-temperature superconductor that can replace niobium-titanium alloy, which is even more complicated.
Theoretical guidance is only the first step, and the next step is "Great Alchemy." At this point, even the smartest people cannot easily synthesize truly useful materials simply by relying on theory.
Of course, except for cheaters.
Material Mastery gives Xiao Yi unlimited possibilities.
In this way, as time slowly passed, Luo Mingya's report gradually came to the end.
After thanking him, Luo Mingya looked at the defense judges sitting in the first row and said, "Judges and teachers, please criticize and correct me."
These defense judges are all academicians. In addition to the academicians of School of Materials Science, there are also academicians from other units. What is special is that one of them is wearing a military uniform with golden wheat ears shining on his shoulders.
Obviously, this is the academician of the project team that Luo Mingya is about to go to. Maybe he is also the person in charge. He came here specially and wore military uniform to participate in the defense. He is probably also here to support Luo Mingya.
Regarding the paper Luo Mingya, these academicians also asked some key questions and did not hold back.
But of course these questions are not difficult for Luo Mingya. With her wonderful answers, these questions were answered perfectly.
Academician Liao of School of Materials Science began to comment. "Mingya is the best student I have ever seen. Just like her paper, I think it has not only reached the level of a doctor, but also reached a level that only a few professors can achieve."
Another academician also smiled and nodded, "Indeed, there are too few young people who can make such achievements at Mingya's age."
Several other academicians also nodded.
Academician Liao turned to look at the academician in military uniform and said, "Academician Li, now Mingya is going to your side, your treatment must not be bad, otherwise don't blame me for coming to trouble you."
That Academician Li said immediately, "Do you still need to say this, Lao Liao? Don't worry, Mingya's treatment will definitely be better when she goes to our place than if she stays here."
"Fart!" Academician Liao immediately retorted, "Going to your place will make our Mingya suffer, okay?"
The two academicians were about to quarrel, but Luo Mingya on the stage quickly interrupted them and said, "Thank you teachers for your comments. I really want to be the best student among the people here. I am not one of them. There is a better one."
