Chapter 539: The battle of the heroes is in progress

In fact, many scientists currently believe that the claim of brain development degree lacks rigorous scientific basis; everyone's brain structure and function are unique and cannot be measured by a simple percentage.

As for how it is, that should be a headache for biologists.

"Hoo~"

Xu Qingzhou let out a long breath and put away his miscellaneous thoughts. He had calculated for 2 hours straight and was indeed a bit tired. He got up to pour himself a cup of hot water and stood in front of the window to relax his mind.

It rained last night, and the wind carried a chill through the cracks in the window, blowing on his face and making him instantly energetic.

Currently, Carson and others are solving the quantum dot agglomeration or sparse distribution, and have synchronized the adjustment of batch-to-batch performance differences caused by multi-step process parameter fluctuations according to Xu Qingzhou's requirements.

On the 18th, they established SPC (Statistical Process Control) to monitor key nodes, and when the plasma power stability is ±1%, it triggers automatic shutdown calibration.

The effect is not bad; the JC performance of some samples can even reach 2.5×10⁴ A/cm².

And the most difficult thing is the balance between doping concentration and superconductivity.

As mentioned before, they are doing stress compensation interface.

He has now completed the density functional theory calculation, which can to a certain extent determine the optimal doping concentration, balancing pinning force and lattice integrity.

But... still no way to completely fix the lattice strain.

"After this rain, the temperature is estimated to rise, the second spring in Boston."

In late March, Boston completely entered spring, and the trees on the banks of the Charles River sprouted tender buds, already showing dots of green.

Xu Qingzhou said, his gaze drifting into the distance, and he really felt a bit dazed.

Elementary school, middle school, high school, sometimes he would sigh about when he could finish reading, enter university, and life's time seemed to be pressed on the fast-forward button.

Reborn until now, it's almost five years.

"Damn, getting sentimental."

Xu Qingzhou smiled and shook his head, stood in front of the window to relax for a while, sat down, and continued to do calculations.

In just one week, Maples Group registered the offshore company. Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao have entrusted Gabi Griffiths to help find a suitable offshore company management manager to be responsible for the company's daily operations.

At the same time, Maples Group began preparations for the Singapore management subsidiary. Unlike the offshore company, to avoid tax audits, this company needs to specifically rent an office for physical operation.

Besides this, the most important thing is one more thing—funds.

Renting an office, buying tables, chairs, and computers, hiring local employees...

The budget reported by Gabi Griffiths is 250,000 US dollars, including the costs of hiring a company manager, tax team, and legal team in the early stage.

Fortunately, besides savings, the two of them still have a salary income of more than 40,000 per month, but funds are still a bit stretched, and Song Xiaohua also took out the 50,000 US dollars in the stock market to save the emergency.

These days, Xu Qingzhou has been busy working day and night, and the superconducting thin film field is still very lively.

Because on March 19th, James' team announced that they could already prepare superconducting thin films with JC performance of 2.7×10⁴ A/cm².

The day after this, the Maxwell Laboratory in Princeton was not to be outdone, announcing their own samples the day after this, with JC performance reaching 2.8×10⁴ A/cm², and adding later that the sample performance is stable and can achieve large-scale commercial preparation.

In the superconducting thin film forum, the discussion was particularly intense.

"My God, is their speed all this fast? Too terrifying!"

"Damn, just this morning, my boss called us over and announced the suspension of the superconducting thin film project... because continuing to compete with these people is meaningless."

"Who can tell me how Xu Qingzhou and the others are progressing?"

"There is no news at all."

"Probably no progress, after all, they only announced their results at the beginning of the month."

"Originally everyone was safe and sound, no one expected this balance to be broken by a mathematics professor."

"Everyone is holding their breath, let's wait and see, I guarantee that the superconducting thin film field will definitely not be more lively than it is now."

Some media called Xu Qingzhou and the others the "catfish" in the superconducting thin film field, "brutally" breaking the peace in this field. Of course, this to a certain extent promoted the development of the superconducting thin film field.

Various experimental groups successively exploded their results, heroes competing, while Xu Qingzhou's side had no big news, pushing forward experimental progress in an orderly manner.

At the same time, Boston.

"I'm back." Song Yao's voice came from the door.

"So early today?"

Xu Qingzhou turned his head to look at the girl, slightly surprised.

In the corner of the desk, thick manuscripts were piled up; this was the result of a week of forgetting to eat and sleep.

Funds were limited, so he could only work hard on mathematics, perfect each model, and try to reduce unnecessary experimental steps. After all, each experiment required expensive precursors.

"Hmm, the thesis is uploaded, Professor Morton gave me two days off."

Song Yao said, shuffling over, and put her hand on Xu Qingzhou's head to rub it twice, "Rubbing the dog's head angrily!"

"..."

Xu Qingzhou missed the cold and aloof Song Yao from before.

Song Yao rubbed Xu Qingzhou's hair and reminded: "Professor Xu, you haven't been out for four days."

"I went down to take out the trash last night."

Xu Qingzhou retorted, making it sound like he was that kind of otaku who stayed at home all day doing some indescribable things to paper people.

"If I don't rush you, you can go out... Besides, does taking out the trash count as going out?"

Song Yao despised. It is imaginable that if she didn't manage him, this person would definitely turn day and night upside down, stay up late every day, and let alone what he eats, it's all fried food with no nutrition.

"In terms of space, yes." Xu Qingzhou tilted his head, Song Xiaohua's fingers slid through his hair, tingling and numb, her slender fingers were very powerful, quite comfortable.

"Nonsense."

Song Yao's palm moved downward, massaging Xu Qingzhou's shoulders.

Not far away, Er Miao lay on the windowsill, licking its paws from time to time, then looking out the window in boredom.

Song Yao also squinted at the window, the weather was good, the scenery was good, suitable for going out for a run to relax her mind.

After massaging for a while, she said: "Go out for a run?"

"Can I refuse?"

Xu Qingzhou focused on being rebellious, looking longingly at the manuscripts on the table that hadn't been calculated yet. Density functional theory, phase field simulation, these traditional means, he is currently doing the mathematical model of the stress compensation interface.

Based on the Stoney equation to calculate the internal stress of the film without substrate, and then optimize the doping concentration gradient through finite element analysis, so that the stress gradient matches the thermal expansion coefficient gradient.

"You want to try?"

Song Yao hooked Xu Qingzhou's ear.

"To tell you the truth, I actually wanted to go out for exercise a long time ago, let's go, change clothes..."
