Chapter 661: Suddenly have a feeling of breaking through the realm

It rained for a few days in early April, followed by a week of sunny days. Under the thick twilight, the research institute appears even more quiet, and occasionally insect chirps can be heard intermittently in the grass.

Xu Qingzhou comes out of the laboratory and takes a deep breath of fresh air to moisten his lungs.

He doesn't intend to go home either; he reported to Song Yao at dinner time that he would rest at the research institute tonight.

Returning to the office, Xu Qingzhou leans back in his chair, pressing his eyebrows, which are a bit sore after high-intensity mental labor. He has been in the laboratory ever since he came back from Jingda at noon.

12:15, still not sleepy, he simply calls up today's experimental data from the computer.

These days, Zhao Shengwen's team is iterating experiments according to his model, carrying out material testing on a large scale, from electrolyte to interface engineering design to diaphragm modification.

The progress is considered smooth.

He even has a vague premonition that the experiment is about to have a breakthrough.

This feeling is very mysterious.

It might be similar to breaking through a realm in fantasy or Xianxia novels, reaching a certain critical point, and one step further is something brand new.

"Hope the premonition is accurate."

Xu Qingzhou mutters to himself, withdraws his thoughts, and goes through all the data of the day. After reading, seeing that it is already 1 o'clock, he doesn't intend to stay up any longer.

He has to stay up if he has to, but he can't be like his previous life; livering experiments with his life is a bit too much.

He washes up simply in the lounge next door and falls onto the bed.

The sheets and quilt covers were changed by Song Yao just two days ago, carrying the faint fragrance of laundry detergent.

"It's already April... like a dream."

Xu Qingzhou pillows his hands behind his head, staring at the ceiling in a daze, brewing sleepiness. 6 years have passed since his rebirth, and the memory fragments of the past have begun to seem unreal.

"Must go see Zheng Xu's side tomorrow."

"The three test materials have already produced results. I estimate there won't be any big good news; breakthrough progress is not that easy, but it can narrow the range of material screening..."

"April 16th must be kept free; it's been 5 years with School Beauty Song, must commemorate it."

Gradually, his consciousness falls into chaos.

The next day.

Laboratory, Xu Qingzhou and Zheng Xu connect on the work of these few days.

Office.

Zheng Xu stares at the data fed back by the electrochemical workstation and says in a deep voice: "Carbon nanotube composite aerogel and FeCoNi-S (high-entropy sulfide) have obvious inhibitory effects, but the current only role of nitrogen/boron co-doped carbon nanotubes is to shorten the reaction path; it doesn't seem suitable."

"Hmm, it seems that carbon nanotubes indeed have a direct impact on the shuttle effect. Next, you can focus on the research of the first two material categories."

Xu Qingzhou says in a deep voice after thinking for a moment.

Up to now, all experiments fully prove that carbon composite materials have an effect on the shuttle effect.

Currently, there are more than 20 major types of carbon composite materials developed and applied worldwide, but the specific technical variants in subdivided fields might reach hundreds.

What they need to do now is find materials that can handle the shuttle effect from these subdivided materials.

According to the core inhibition mechanism, they can basically be divided into physical confinement type, chemical adsorption type, and catalytic conversion type. For example, the aforementioned carbon nanotube composite aerogel belongs to the first category, and FeCoNi-S (high-entropy sulfide) belongs to the catalytic conversion type.

"Good."

Zheng Xu nods with a smile.

He likes Xu Qingzhou's way of working very much; doing things without any dragging of feet, unlike when he was at Zhongda before, where not many experiments were done, but a pile of meetings were held.

Staying at Zheng Xu's side for half an hour, Xu Qingzhou also goes to see Academician Ren Nan's side.

In April, after a month of long-distance transportation, some equipment from home and abroad has arrived in Kyoto, and 80% of the equipment has been installed and is in a debugging state.

Recruitment has ended.

The final personnel have been determined, and the team is currently discussing the experimental plan for May.
