Soon after arriving at the laboratory, Liu Hao did not lie to him. Sure enough, everyone in the research team stopped what they were doing and were waiting in the conference room for him to issue instructions.

Qiao Yu didn't even greet anyone. After saying hello, he entered the commander's state.

"Well, looking at the data you provided before, I should have already mastered the relationship between the molecular binding energy and the ratio of monomers to cross-linking agents, right?"

"Well, we are still confident about this. It's not a big problem."

"Okay, now I need to make the molecular interaction intensity between 20-30 kJ/mol, and prepare five copies of each 2kJ/mol corresponding monomer and cross-linking agent ratio. Isn't that a big problem?"

"Ah? Such a small gap..." Zhang Haoyuan was just about to raise a question when Liu Hao glared at him.

"Stop talking nonsense, just do whatever I ask you to do! Qin Zhongliang, help Xiao Zhang prepare the solvent. Remember to be careful. Five parts of each are marked."

"By the way, I don't know the minimum amount of solvent required for each test. You know this, but each part should be two-thirds more than the minimum amount. A total of thirty parts are needed. Make sure there is no mistake."

Qiao Yu emphasized again.

"Don't worry, this is a basic operation, they won't make a mistake. It's just that the interval is too small, and the ratio of monomers and cross-linking agents may be controlled to two decimal places, which is more troublesome."

"Well, slow down a little, there's no rush anyway."

"By the way, with so much preparation, are you going to do five experiments today?"

"No, this is the first time. I told you before, I need some data. The next step is..."

…

Well, with Liu Hao's support, the subsequent laboratory operations actually went very smoothly. Everyone suppressed any questions they had.

For Qiao Yu, he is actually not familiar with the entire operation process. He is only responsible for the data results.

As for those people in the laboratory, they are responsible for implementing Qiao Yu's opinions in a way they are familiar with.

Fortunately, Qiao Yu didn't make any excessive demands. At most, he would just make a lot of samples at one time, which seemed wasteful.

And this time is different from last time.

The preparations are sufficient, and the required solvents can be prepared immediately. After preparation, it is left to stand in the solution and wait for the cross-linking reaction to proceed.

The key to affecting material performance is the process of temperature-responsive monomers and cross-linking agents forming gels through free radical polymerization.

The proportion of different materials, temperature, synthesis time, and other factors may affect the performance of the final material.

After two hours of busy work, thirty samples were already placed on the experimental table of the constant temperature reaction box.

Each sample was marked with a number at Qiao Yu's request, and was quietly arranged under different constant temperature conditions, waiting for the completion of the free radical polymerization reaction.

The atmosphere in the laboratory seemed extremely quiet, except for the faint hum of the temperature-controlled instruments in the reaction box.

Liu Hao finally had time to discuss with Qiao Yu those charts that seemed to be very regular.

“These are all analyzed using our data?”

"Yes, if it succeeds, I have to thank Senior Brother Chen. He has worked hard during this time. Your data is very messy and it will be very troublesome to sort it out clearly."

Qiao Yu nodded and replied.

He didn't plan to reveal how he did it specifically for the time being, but it was still necessary to help Chen Zhuoyang show his merit.

After all, Brother Chen is very useful. There are just a few people.

Qiao Yu even felt that Senior Brother Chen should quickly recruit a few students and cultivate them into his temperament.

"Of course, how was this result analyzed? Didn't Professor Lu say that our data has no statistical significance?"

Although Qiao Yu said to keep it secret, isn't it just idleness? Liu Hao was still very curious about these pictures.

Even if he doesn't understand how the analysis results of these pictures come from, or even doesn't quite understand how to interpret them correctly, at least he can see that there are certain patterns in these pictures.

This also made him suddenly feel confident. After all, the requirements given by Qiao Yu were very targeted.

"It depends on the situation. To put it simply, I have made some transformations of some commonly used mathematical methods. You can understand it as first eliminating the impurities in complex data through some high-dimensional means.

But let me tell you first, don’t have too high hopes. I’ve told you before, this is just a test of a new method, and I don’t necessarily guarantee that it will work.”

Qiao Yu seriously gave Liu Hao another vaccination.

The voices of the two were not quiet, and naturally they fell into the ears of other people in the laboratory. But no one said anything...

Everything has been done according to Qiao Yu's request. To complain at this time is just a flaw in the mind.

"Haha, Qiao Yu, you don't have to keep stressing this. In fact, if you stay in the chemistry laboratory for a long time, you will know that failure in the project is the norm in many cases, and success is occasional.

The situation last time was different from this time. First, the topics were relatively important, and there was competition this time. Second, there were successful cases before. So we had high hopes. Alas...

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, when we conduct experiments and there are no results, we have been numb for a long time. It’s just that some less important topics are simply abandoned without results.”

Liu Hao said in a carefree manner.

In fact, it is really easy to become numb in the research group. It is just being eliminated all the time. I cannot accept that a lot of work is useless, and I have been eliminated at the master's level.

At the doctoral stage, everyone's mentality can be said to be better, but there is still a sense of frustration that there are no results in the laboratory.

It's just that once you get busy, you don't have time to feel this kind of frustration. After all, even if Party A invested in the early stage, they are the ones who stay in the laboratory every day.

But what can be done? Party A has chosen two different directions from the beginning. In fact, it is destined to a certain extent that one side's methods and ideas will be eliminated.

Of course, there is a possibility for both parties to achieve results, but it is unlikely that such a thing will happen to everyone's satisfaction.

After all, funds are limited. From a cost perspective, if you have a mature solution, there is no need to continue investing in another immature solution.

Unless it can be proven that another solution is more useful or has shown extremely high value in another field, it will be possible to continue to take it out of the sealed files and continue research.

After listening to Liu Hao's words, Qiao Yu just smiled. He didn't quite believe that Liu Hao was really so free and easy.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have run downstairs to pick him up as soon as he called me and said he was coming. However, it is basic courtesy to see through the situation without telling him.

While there was still some time, Qiao Yu began to think about how to find the next partner, so he took the initiative to ask: "By the way, last time I heard you said that another chemical laboratory also took over Party A's task. The method used was not very good.

Same thing, do you know how far they have gone?"

Liu Hao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The other side is a competitor, how could we know so clearly. But last week I heard from the boss that the other side has solved two key problems.

One is a breakthrough in polymerization technology. It is said that their different blocks have obtained good phase separation structures. The other is the optimization of nanoparticle interfaces.

Of course, it does not mean that they are ahead. Their technology needs to deal with the synergy problem of two complex material systems and involves the optimization of multiple chemical and physical processes, which is actually very troublesome.

So the boss also said that the other side may be setting off smoke bombs just to make us give up early. So it’s really hard to say what their situation is. Not to mention that our industry sometimes depends on luck.”

To be honest, he didn't really understand the chemical jargon that Senior Brother Liu said.

But he has already obtained the key information. Because as long as it involves the optimization of multiple chemical and physical processes, it will definitely require massive data analysis.

Chemical processes are complex, as are physical phenomena such as phase separation, heat conduction, and stress distribution. Such complex processes will certainly be accompanied by nonlinear and dynamic changes.

The parameters involved are similar, such as ratio, temperature, reaction time, solvent concentration, polymerization rate... the more complex it is, the more variables there are. This also means that if he can succeed with Senior Brother Liu, the other side should also be able to succeed.

Even if the two sides use different technologies.

So Qiao Yu asked directly: "Oh, then if their technology also requires the optimization of various chemical and physical processes, and it must be inseparable from mathematical analysis, they should also find foreign aid, right?"

Senior Brother Liu nodded and said: "I will definitely ask for help when it comes to this matter. But Huairou Institute is a research unit directly under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, you know. They have no shortage of partners."

"Yes, that is, many math people will cooperate with them on projects, Qingji, Qingke, and many other similar ones. In short, they usually have no shortage of projects. And their equipment is also very good!"

Zhang Haoyuan next to him couldn't help but add something.

Qiao Yu nodded, probably understanding the situation at Huairou Institute. But this made him want to contact the other party even more.

If he could know the progress of the other party, he could probably judge the attractiveness of his analysis technology to the laboratory.

As long as his method is effective and efficient enough, at least higher than the opponent's foreign aid, there will definitely be many research groups wanting his help to contribute to some results.

As for trying to get in touch with the other party, it shouldn't be a big problem. Both my tutor and my master's grandfather are leaders in the Chinese mathematics community, so it should be easy to inquire about this kind of thing.

If his method can be successful in Senior Brother Liu's research group, it shouldn't be a big problem to go back and ask Director Tian to prepare a lecture for him, and then invite the person in charge of the opposite project to participate.

Obviously Liu Hao misunderstood Qiao Yu's meaning and said with emotion: "Really, Qiao Yu, you don't need to be nervous about our project. We won't blame you if we can't handle it.

In our line of work, 70% of it depends on hard work, and the remaining 93% is destiny. If you can succeed in anything, then I have to think about what to say at the dinner for Sweden to win the Nobel Prize."

These words actually made the atmosphere in the laboratory more relaxed, and everyone started joking. They were probably words to remind their senior brother not to forget each other in the future.

Liu Hao also smiled and joked a few words with the team members. Qiao Yu was also listening to everyone's banter, which felt pretty good.

At least everyone can still have fun in the midst of hardship, which shows that the mentality of the team members is very stable. Qiao Yu likes partners who can maintain a stable mentality in the face of adversity.

After laughing for a while, Liu Hao suddenly started playing music again...

"It's almost done. Stop joking around. The time is coming. Let's go and look at the samples we are responsible for. When the time is up, hurry up and get tested. Qiao Yu is still waiting for the results.

The reaction time required for each group of samples is different, so don’t confuse the important things by just taking advantage of Lehe, and be careful to eat the first one!”

It can be seen that Liu Hao is still very authoritative. With one or two words, he took the initiative to return to the laboratory next door from the office.

But then again, the polymerization time of the first batch of samples has indeed almost arrived.

While everyone else was busy serving samples, Liu Hao stayed by Qiao Yu's side, chatting with each other.

Let’s not talk about experiments, just talk about the messy things in life. I’m embarrassed to let Qiao Yu wait here...

"By the way, did you hear that? Yesterday, there was a guy from the technical school next door who allegedly went to the college to stand up for his girlfriend and had a fight with the counselor there."

"Ah? Is there such a thing? Which major in the technical school?" Qiao Yu just got interested and planned to listen to the gossip, when suddenly there was an exclamation from the laboratory...
To be continued...
