349 Planting A University Bully (1/3)

Chapter 349 Planting a College Bully (13)

【

Task 1: Mastery Cultivation Program

Explanation: If you plant a university bully today, you will reap a basket of school bullies tomorrow. Thinking about it, it is really beautiful.

Requirements: Guide students to complete a graduation thesis.

Reward: 1~? ? ? Subject experience (the final value is positively correlated with the academic value of the research project, negatively correlated with the direct participation of the host in the project, and positively correlated with student participation). 500 points. Lucky Draw Chance (50% Junk, 25% Sample, 15% Blueprint, 10% Special)

Looking at the first mission that came out, Lu Zhou felt a little helpless to complain.

What does this system think of Xueba?

Chives?

However, let's take the word "university bully" as a compliment.

Gaining recognition from a higher civilization, Lu Zhou didn't know if this was something to be happy about.

Mission 2: The King on the Field

Explanation: Rugby is a national sport in the United States, and the Super Bowl is a well-known event here. It seems that it is too difficult for the host to charge forward in the Super Bowl. If this is the case, it is no problem to aim for the championship of the Ivy League in the fall, right?

Requirements: Participate in any Princeton rugby club, at least get promoted in intramural games, and get third place or higher in league games.

Reward: 10,000~50,000 free experience. 500 points. Lucky Draw Chance (80% Junk, 10% Sample, 6% Blueprint, 4% Special)

Lu Zhou: ...

How can this be called no problem?

It feels like there are problems everywhere.

Reminiscent of Connie's Hulk-like size, Lu Zhou felt that it would be better for him to stay away from dangerous sports like rugby.

If this bumped him into something wrong, it would not only be his own loss, but the loss of all mankind...

Eliminating this cheating task from the alternatives, Lu Zhou continued to look down the task bar, looking at the last task in the list.

Task 3: Li-air is the future!

Explanation: Lithium-sulfur batteries will eventually be eliminated, and lithium-air batteries are the future!

Requirements: Solve a series of technical problems in lithium-air batteries, so that lithium-air batteries occupy more than 5% of the global battery market. (The judgment is done by system rules.)

Reward: 0~? ? ? subject experience. 500 points. Lucky Draw Chance (50% Junk, 30% Sample, 10% Blueprint, 10% Special)

There is nothing wrong with the task itself, but the tone of this system is somewhat similar to Professor Sarot's point of view.

I don't know if it overestimated the level of science and technology of human civilization, or because it simply sees too many praise points and wants to take a little from its own point reserves.

However, since the system is so confident in the lithium-air battery, Lu Zhou felt that he should seriously consider buying the patent of the caged carbon molecule from Professor Stanley.

It probably wouldn't cost much anyway.

Looking at the three tasks, Lu Zhou finally chose task 1 as his main task after some careful consideration.

Compared with Task 2, which is too dangerous, and Task 3, which is temporarily hopeless, Task 1 is undoubtedly a task with relatively low difficulty and strong plasticity.

It's just that "reward experience is negatively correlated with the host's direct participation in the project", the system seems to want him to hand over the project to the students to complete independently, rather than him personally solving it...

Lu Zhou touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

This is a little difficult.

...

Just as Lu Zhou was thinking about how to complete the next task, an angry roar sounded in the Institute of Materials Science at Binghamton University.

"Ricardo! Come out! Damn...where did that idiot go?"

Professor Stanley, who was searching for Ricardo from department to department, seemed to be bursting with anger in his eyes. Even though there was no wind blowing, his beard was trembling.

Obviously, he was furious to the extreme.

During this period of time, many laboratories have expressed doubts about his thesis, saying that his experimental results cannot be restored in repeated experiments.

Regarding these voices of doubt, Professor Stanley naturally suppressed them with his own influence, and choked back with "If you can't do it, it doesn't mean others can't do it".

This response may sound irrational.

However, for academia, this is actually not an uncommon thing.

Although the essence of science is that it can be repeated, not every "research achievement" can be repeated.

After all, even if the experimental report has written the operation process in detail, some subtle differences may lead to completely different results from the same experimental steps.

And in fact, caged carbon molecules do have the effect of inhibiting the shuttle effect.

It's just that its effect is far less amazing than what Professor Stanley described in his paper.

Just as the academic community gradually lost interest in his research results, the industry's response gradually began to grow impatient. ExxonMobil, in particular, is growing impatient with an indifferent market.

In order to reverse this situation, Professor Stanley has tried his best to make the caged carbon molecule a little more useful while stabilizing ExxonMobil for a month.

Unfortunately, no matter what kind of mixing method he used to make the skeleton of the cathode sulfur material, he could not prevent the diffusion of polysulfide compounds into the electrolyte. Usually, the battery has only been cycled for more than two hundred cycles, and the positive electrode material has almost been lost.

The conjecture about the double agent became more and more certain in his heart. Just when Professor Stanley was about to find Ricardo for a showdown, the shameful traitor suddenly disappeared from his laboratory.

After asking his research assistant, he learned about it.

Since the day before yesterday, that guy has not come to the laboratory to report.

In an instant, Professor Stanley understood everything.

What he feared most had finally happened.

Thinking that he still had a little hope for that traitor's character back then, he felt like a fool a few months ago!

Looking at Professor Stanley who lost his temper, the researchers in the laboratory trembled.

No one knows why, since he went to Manhattan Island, New York to attend the banquet, Professor Stanley, who was already at the pinnacle of his life, suddenly changed his temperament and became irritable and irritable.

Even if they are in the same laboratory and are in charge of the same research project, not everyone knows the details of the experiment well.

Except for the core researchers whose names will appear in the papers, most of the researchers in this Institute of Materials Science do not know more about the specific situation of the caged carbon molecule than those who learned from the journals.

Most people agree that they have solved the world-class technical problem of the lithium-sulfur battery shuttle effect...

"Damn it, Falk!" Constantly cursing rude words, Professor Stanley sat down on the office chair, pressed his index finger between his eyebrows, and calmed his heavy breathing.

At this moment, the phone at the corner of the table rang suddenly.

Looking at the displayed caller number, Professor Stanley took a deep breath, made himself look calmer, and reached out to pick up the phone.

As soon as the phone was connected, Woods' voice came from the receiver.

"My engineer told me that your battery can't be made at all! Don't try to put me off with silly reasons, I need a reasonable explanation."

This was the fifth time he had called Professor Stanley's office since the Manhattan banquet. And compared to the previous few times, his tone was not as polite as the previous few times, even with obvious distrust.

For Woods' aggressive voice, Professor Stanley fell into a brief silence.

Just when he finally made up his mind and was about to show the matter to the CEO, his heart suddenly moved.

Ricardo disappeared from his laboratory just the day before yesterday, and ExxonMobil probably didn't know about it.

For him, this might not be a good thing.

At least, he has someone to blame...

Lowering his voice, Professor Stanley said in a heavy tone: "We have been tricked."

Hearing this unexpected answer, Woods was obviously stunned for a moment, then asked with a slight frown, "What do you mean..."

Professor Stanley continued with a sullen face: "That data is fake. Ricardo's real identity is actually a double agent. Don't you understand? We have been fooled by that person's acting skills from the very beginning!"

Woods felt cold behind his back, and immediately said: "Impossible, where can he go? And there is a lawsuit on him, even if he wants to run, he can't run far at all."

In the United States, commercial espionage is a very serious crime, especially when it involves intellectual property issues, and it may even be prosecuted for criminal responsibility. Under such circumstances, Ricardo's entry and exit are restricted by the court.

And as long as this Ricardo is still in the United States, it is really too easy to find him.

"Since he is a double agent, do you think Xingkong Technology will continue to sue him? Maybe before you know, they have already withdrawn the lawsuit..." Combining the part he guessed, Professor Stanley concealed everything Everything that was said was confessed.

After listening to Professor Stanley's words, Woods, who fell into thinking, had an uncertain expression on his face.

Originally, when he called, he was planning to ask the teacher for a crime. After learning that Professor Stanley had been hiding from him for a month, he became even more furious.

But after hearing about the "double agent", his anger was passed on to Ricardo.

If what Professor Stanley said is true, then the responsibility is not entirely on him.

After all, he had his own share in the idea of ​​poaching from Lu Zhou.

However, now is not the time for accountability...

Woods took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"About Ricardo's matter, I will confirm the lawsuit with the legal department later. As for now..."

For an energy giant like Exxon Mobil, it faces large and small lawsuits almost every day, and the lawsuits of a small employee really do not attract his attention.

Unless he specifically ordered his secretary to follow the case closely, no one would put these trivial details on his desk at all.

Of course, if that's the case, he'll make that greedy guy pay.

As for now...

After a short pause, Woods continued.

"As for now, we must hold our ground! The news about the unsatisfactory effect of the new material must not be spread! Investors still have full confidence in us, and we have an obligation to not let them be happy in vain."

"In addition, I learned that Lu Zhou's recent research is theoretical research, and lithium-sulfur batteries are not the focus of his research work. Even if we took a little detour, we were definitely not left too far behind."

"I need you to restart the experiment."

"We are already wasting a lot of resources. What I don't want to get is just a piece of meaningless garbage. I believe you don't want to end up like this!"

After hearing these words, Professor Stanley breathed a sigh of relief.

Obviously Exxon Mobil does not intend to admit defeat easily, and Woods still chooses to stand on the same front with him.

Putting on a relaxed tone, Professor Stanley continued.

"I do it all the time."

He had no intention of admitting defeat.

Even if he persists, he will persist until the day when the results are produced.
