Chapter 143 Now You Are on the Same Level as the Professor
Before this, Xu You had read a lot of relevant information and literature on superconductors.
But after all, learning never ends, and Xu You knows that what he knows is just a drop in the ocean.
Therefore, Xu You will never feel satisfied with his knowledge and achievements and will always maintain a studious heart.
Arriving at the library, Xu You went on a crazy shopping spree until he had used up his borrowing quota, then he left with satisfaction, dragging his suitcase.
The library staff were accustomed to this situation and did not find it strange.
"Hey, this is the nth book Xu You has borrowed?" said a staff member.
"I checked... there are already more than a thousand copies."
"It's only been half a year, and he has already borrowed more than a thousand books? Can he really finish reading all these books?"
According to this calculation, Xu You has to read about ten books on average every day to finish reading all the borrowed books.
"I don't know, but if he doesn't want to read it, there's no need to borrow it. Besides, the fact that he can publish so many papers must be related to the books he reads."
"Hey, I heard that he studies quantum physics. Could he have learned quantum wave speed reading?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Quantum wave speed reading is a lie. There is no such outrageous thing. But he reads so fast, he can probably read ten lines at a glance. Otherwise, it is impossible for him to finish reading so many books."
After a few days, although Xu You did not immediately fully understand the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity, he already had a general research direction.
This time, Xu You could not leave other things to Qiao Sen or Wang Xiangwu as he did before, and he would only be responsible for the scientific research part.
After Xu You became an intern researcher, he needed to apply for a project on his own and then start his own project after it was approved.
Xu You had no experience with these procedural issues, so he had to seek help from Qiao Sen.
Qiao Sen was also frank and told Xu You some things about the project application.
"Xu You, actually the school gave you this status because they want you to be the person in charge of your own research project. In this way, the intellectual property rights of your research results will also belong to you. These things may not mean anything to you now. But when you really stay in school, they will be very important for your professional title evaluation and so on."
Like several papers published by Xu You before, although Xu You was the first author, the intellectual property rights of the research results were not in his hands.
This is not entirely because Wang Xiangwu and Qiao Sen want to possess these things.
However, Xu You has just started scientific research and is definitely unable to handle these things well.
Now Qiao Sen doesn't mind letting Xu You keep his research results alone.
For the entire research team, it is definitely a good thing if Xu You can achieve more results.
"If you do your own research in the future, in addition to the normal scientific research, you will also need to take on the project funding, design, article writing and review, and be responsible for communicating with the journal during submission, peer review, and the entire publication process."
After hearing about the tasks that needed to be handled, Xu You also realized that doing the project alone was indeed not an easy task.
In addition to scientific research, various tedious tasks also need to be handled.
"Of course, once you are familiar with it, these tasks are actually nothing. Let me first tell you about the project application."
"The project you want to apply for now is a longitudinal project. Research projects require a lot of scientific research funds, because you don't know how much money this project will cost in the future, so the more funds you apply for, the better. If the funds are not enough, the project cannot be carried out. When applying for a project, you can write a little exaggerated, don't be too practical."
Listening to Qiao Sen's words, Xu You nodded continuously.
Since Xu You decided to do the project himself, he must not be too naive and must have the necessary careful considerations.
After returning, Xu You carefully wrote the project application and especially emphasized the great significance of this project.
If we can really fully understand the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity and find a superconductor with a superconducting critical temperature above 195K.
Its significance is naturally extraordinary.
Xu You has published two major papers in the field of superconductivity, clarifying the superconductivity theory of metal atomic cluster materials and achieving high-temperature superconductivity of around 100K under normal pressure.
Xu You believed that he still had the confidence to apply for this new project.
After completing the submission of the project application, Xu You waited for the approval result.
During this period , Xu Zhou brought good news to Xu You again.
There have also been new breakthroughs in the preparation of silver and copper atomic clusters.
Among them, the potential energy function constructed by Xu You and the set of algorithms edited by him played a very critical role.
Xu Zhou's work in material preparation is also very important.
Xu Zhou sent the newly prepared materials to Qiao Sen Laboratory of Ji University.
Because these topics were the ones Qiao Sen applied for last semester, not including the topics Xu You conducted alone.
Of course, this did not affect Xu You's continuation of the experiment last semester. After all, the identity of the first author was still Xu You's.
"Hello, Researcher Xu!"
After meeting Xu You, Yuan Dong immediately changed the way he addressed Xu You.
"Brother, just call me Xu You. I'm not a formal researcher yet, I'm just doing the work of a researcher."
"Please don't call me Senior Brother. Just call me Xiao Yuan. The status of a researcher and a graduate student is very different. I really don't deserve to be called Senior Brother."
In terms of level, researchers and professors are at the same level, but researchers focus their energy on scientific research and do not need to teach.
But Xu You also knew that his official identity was just an undergraduate student, so it was only natural for him to call Yuan Dong "senior brother".
Yuan Dong watched Xu You doing the experiment and knew that Xu You was probably here to measure resistance again.
"Why, are we going to discover a few more superconductors this time?"
"It's hard to say. It depends on the situation."
This time, even if Xu You detected a few more superconductors, Yuan Dong would not be too surprised.
Yuan Dong also heard something about Xu You's application for the project.
Compared with the new project applied for by Xu You, detecting a few superconductors is really nothing.
If we can really thoroughly study the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity, let alone publish in Nature.
Maybe the Nobel Prize in Physics could be awarded directly to Xu You.
Of course, since Yuan Dong already knew about this, the new project that Xu You applied for was no longer a secret in the School of Physics.
People have different opinions on Xu You's topic.
