Chapter 214: To achieve success, one must have a broad mind
Hearing Xu You's words, Xing Shuping and Qiao Sen were both stunned.
Both of them had no doubt about Xu You's achievements in the field of superconductivity.
It can be said that in today's world, there is no one who can achieve greater success in the field of superconductivity than Xu You.
only……
Does Xu You really have the ability to participate in research work on material preparation and molding processing?
Xing Shuping and Qiao Sen both had doubts about this.
But when Xing Shuping recalled Xu You's achievements in the past two years.
The areas involved are indeed very broad.
A cross-disciplinary talent like Xu You.
It is relatively easy to expand into more research areas.
"Okay, Xu You, you can join the research on the materials part from now on. You are basically responsible for the superconducting part, and you are very familiar with these materials. I hope you can make more contributions to the project."
"I will definitely try my best. Thank you Academician Xing for your understanding."
On the way back, Qiao Sen and Xu You talked about what happened at the meeting.
"Xu You, you seem a little different today than before."
Qiao Sen did not explain it in too much detail, but he believed that Xu You would understand what he meant.
"Teacher Qiao, you also thought I was impulsive just now, right? Actually, I wasn't impulsive, and I wasn't arrogant. I just felt that at that time , I shouldn't give in anymore. I also have the qualifications and ability to make this decision."
Seeing Xu You's calmness, Qiao Sen couldn't help but look at him with admiration again.
When Qiao Sen heard Chen Pingqiu say these words just now, he felt very unhappy.
In terms of project status, Xu Youke is the chief researcher, second only to Academician Xing Shuping.
If ranked by importance, Xu You could even be ranked first.
Xing Shuping's role is more of a calming role.
However, if it were Qiao Sen, he would not have the courage to refuse directly like Xu You did.
After working for so many years, Qiao Sen knew that if he wanted to survive in this society, he had to be tactful in his dealings with others.
This is also true in the academic circle.
Not only do you need strong scientific research capabilities, but you also need to handle various interpersonal relationships well.
Otherwise, it is easy to suffer losses.
Qiao Sen knew that this was not advisable, but he could not change the situation and could only choose to adapt to the rules.
Qiao Sen really admires Xu You from the bottom of his heart.
"Xu You, to be honest, I really envy you for being able to be neither humble nor arrogant in front of those professors. But I still want to remind you not to create any rift between you and Chen Pingqiu or other professors because of what happened today. After all, we are a team, and if these problems affect the progress of the project, it will be a kind of internal friction."
"Don't worry, Mr. Qiao, I understand."
Compared to before, Xu You's mind has become much broader.
Xu You still remembers that when he was in high school, he didn't want to ask some teachers questions because he hated their style.
Now Xu You can look at these things with more ease.
After returning to Ji University, Xu You’s first thing was to go home and pack his suitcase.
Before participating in material preparation and processing projects, Xu You must first supplement enough theoretical knowledge.
Reading a few boxes of books is the minimum thing to do.
Xu You dragged his suitcase to the library and put all the books related to material preparation and molding processing into the suitcase.
After a few days, Xu You managed to read through hundreds of books.
Basically, I learned all the knowledge about material preparation and molding processing that can be learned on the market.
Although there is no guarantee that it can be used in practice immediately.
At least the theoretical knowledge is already quite rich.
With a head full of material knowledge, Xu You joined the project's materials team.
Because Xing Shuping is a materials expert, he has been following the entire research work on preparation and processing.
Chen Pingqiu also plays a relatively important role in the project's molding processing research.
When he saw Chen Pingqiu again, Xu You did not deliberately avoid him, but took the initiative to greet him.
"Professor Chen!"
Xu You's face was filled with smiles, as if nothing unpleasant had ever happened between them.
"Xu You, you're here."
Chen Pingqiu also had a smile on his face, and seemed to have forgotten what happened a few days ago.
Chen Pingqiu knew that Xu You's position in the project was irreplaceable and he was also a favorite in Xing Shuping's eyes, so he could not provoke him easily.
However, in Chen Pingqiu's heart, he still denied Xu You's idea.
This new type of material is difficult to shape and process in terms of structure.
Chen Pingqiu has been researching material forming technology for decades. In this regard, there is no way he is worse than Xu You, a layman.
After greeting Chen Pingqiu, Xu You continued to politely ask Chen Pingqiu about the difficulties in the molding and processing of this material.
This is Xu You’s current mindset.
I don't agree with your view on the problem, but I recognize your ability.
I still have to learn from you what I should learn from you.
Isn't it an interesting and meaningful thing to learn your knowledge and use the knowledge you taught me to create more outstanding scientific research results?
Seeing that Xu You had a good attitude today, Chen Pingqiu explained the current problem to Xu You without reservation.
"In fact, this material was prepared with great difficulty. We used artificial methods to forcibly synthesize it, and its properties are not very stable. When the number of molecules is relatively small, they can still gather together. Once the number of molecules exceeds a certain limit, they will disperse and cannot aggregate at all."
Xu You observed the microscopic structure of this substance through a microscope.
As Chen Pingqiu said, this material has very poor aggregation ability and is dispersed into many parts under a microscope.
Such a problem is not only that it is difficult to process into a linear strip structure.
It's really just a way to measure resistance in an experiment.
"Even if such materials are processed, they are just a pile of debris, which is much finer than sand. It is not impossible to apply them, but the fields where they can be applied are very limited. If you want to prepare them into shape, you have to use ultra-high pressure to squeeze them together. But in that case, not only the superconducting properties may change, but also deviate from our original intention."
Xu You had to admit that what Chen Pingqiu said made a lot of sense.
If the molding process is carried out under ultra-high pressure conditions, it will be completely meaningless for the application.
But at this time, Xu You had a different idea.
