"All chemical reactions are nothing more than the exchange of electrons."
"Compared to the exchange of electrons in ordinary chemical reactions, the exchange of electrons between conductors is more traceable."
Looking at the equations listed on the blackboard, Li Mu explained the meaning of these equations.
"The electromagnetic force generated by conductor electrodes is the fundamental mechanism that allows electrons to generate power. As for how to reveal the operating rules of this fundamental mechanism, I think we need to start from multiple aspects."
"The first point is the properties of the conductor material; the second point is that we must deeply consider the distribution scale of free electrons in the entire reaction system, especially when these electrons are conducted between electrolytes."
"Here, I think, we can also introduce computational chemistry methods."
When he heard Li Mu say this, Wu Mengyuan couldn't help but ask: "Wait, computational chemistry?"
"Yes."
Li Mu nodded.
"Although I don't do any research on computational chemistry. Well, to be more precise, I don't do any research on chemistry. However, I heard from my friends at the School of Chemistry that the credibility of computational chemistry is not very high?"
Wu Mengyuan raised his doubts.
Li Mu smiled slightly.
“The credibility of current computational chemistry is not high, but the computational chemistry of the future may not be so.”
After studying computational chemistry for a period of time, he discovered that the role of the brain computer in this subject is simply perfect.
Some of the problems currently restricting computational chemistry can all be easily solved by brain computers.
Wu Mengyuan was stunned when he heard Li Mu's confident words.
Could it be that this kid already has something in mind?
For a moment, he felt that he could not keep up with Li Mu's thoughts.
Feeling helpless, he recalled that a year ago, he seemed to have predicted at that time that with Li Mu's talent, he might surpass him and Lin Yao sooner or later.
But looking at it now, Li Mu seems to have surpassed them, even more than a little bit.
Needless to say, Lin Yao's conjecture is enough to prove this point.
And he himself couldn't figure out Li Mu's thoughts now.
After thinking about it, he said: "Li Mu, I am very grateful to you for inviting me to participate in your project, but as far as what you are proposing now, I may not be able to help you much, so let's forget it. ?”
Although with the help of Li Mu's project, it could indeed help him become an academician, but if he didn't even make any contribution, he would be embarrassed to accept it with peace of mind.
At this time, Li Mu said with a smile: "Don't worry, there will definitely be times when we need you. After all, the content of this project involves electrodynamics, and your research on electrodynamics is very in-depth. You have obtained several articles before." The papers that have won the Natural Science Award are all related to this aspect."
"And all you need to do then is analyze the kinetic model of electrons during the reaction at the conductor interface."
"That's it...that's fine, I'll listen to you."
Wu Mengyuan nodded, but still did not want to take any advantage: "But you also involved computational chemistry and electrochemistry. There is too little electrodynamics content, so don't give me any joint work. , I am very grateful to you for having a second work."
Li Mu waved his hands repeatedly: "You can rest assured on this. When this project is completed, I will divide all the results into several papers and publish them according to the field and direction. One on electrodynamics and one on computational chemistry. , the electrochemistry one is one article, and the comprehensive one is one article.”
"Guarantee you have at least one co-author."
After all, only one work is helpful in selecting academicians.
Li Mu is very grateful to Professor Wu for his help this year, so if it can be useful to Professor Wu in selecting academicians, it can be regarded as repaying his kindness.
"Hey...you...hey..."
Wu Mengyuan didn't know what to say for a moment, but he was deeply moved in his heart.
With such a student, what else could he have to say?
"I'll go out and make a phone call."
he said.
Li Mu was confused and didn't know why the professor called suddenly, but he nodded and said, "Okay."
Then Wu Mengyuan walked out of the discussion room.
After a while, Li Mu heard Wu Mengyuan's show off from outside: "Hey, hey, hey, Lin Yao, guess what? Li Mu said he would help me evaluate academicians and lead me to do an awesome project."
Li Mu: "...6."
…
In the following time, Li Mu began to devote all his energy to the research of new projects.
Of course, this new project requires the use of a chemistry laboratory, and applying for a chemistry laboratory also requires money.
So at this time, the 5 million funds in his training plan can be used.
Of course, you don't need to use too much. The cost is mainly spent on laboratory applications and the purchase of related experimental consumables. Tens of thousands of yuan can be spent.
Of course, the school didn't have any difficulties with his application, and immediately started the laboratory approval procedures.
But since he has never used these experimental equipment and is only relatively mature in theory, the laboratory management department also requires him to hire several people who can use experimental equipment to be responsible for the operation of the experiment.
This was a small problem. With the help of Professor Wu, we hired three postdocs and a professor from the School of Chemistry.
The professor's name was Cao Sheng, who was a good friend of Wu Mengyuan and offered help.
The three postdocs agreed because they learned it was Li Mu's project.
So just like that, all the preparations were made, and the laboratory approval procedures came down a week later.
After getting the key to the laboratory, Li Mu immediately organized his first group meeting in the laboratory since he served as the leader of a scientific research project for the first time in his life.
…
"Wha... what? What you want to study is... the reaction mechanism between electrodynamics and electrochemistry?"
At the first group meeting, Li Mu naturally introduced what their project was.
And when the three postdocs finished listening, they immediately fell into confusion.
What is this? ?
"To put it simply, it is to use the principle of electrodynamics to analyze the mechanism of electrochemical reactions."
Li Mu said: "You should all know that the relationship between electrochemistry and physical chemistry is very close. Physical chemistry studies the thermodynamics and kinetics of various reactions. What we have to do now is to combine electrochemistry and physics with electrons. Research is becoming more closely integrated.”
"That's it. It's actually quite understandable."
No!
It’s not easy to understand at all!
The three postdocs shouted in their hearts.
