Why did Ding Yue sense a tone of disappointnt in his sister’s voice?
"Little sister, you sound rather exhausted. Are the experints not going well?" Ding Yue curiously inquired.
"More than ’not going well’, the gas deposition thod I ntioned last ti is pretty much a dead end." Ding Xiaoyou said helplessly.
"Er, didn’t you tell last ti that the optimized gas deposition thod was about to be realized?" When Ding Yue heard this, he instantly furrowed his brow.
If Ding Yue rembered correctly, the last ti he spoke with his sister, she ntioned that the thod she was researching on the chemical production of graphene, naly the gas deposition thod, was on the brink of successful optimization.
So why has she suddenly declared her failure? Even going so far as to say it was a dead end?
As soone experienced in research, Ding Yue knew all too well what it ant when soone said that "the road was blocked". It simply ant that the path was unviable.
If that was the case, then this was indeed a "tragedy." The efforts of his sister, Ding Xiaoyou over the past month or two had beco like bubbles, disappearing into thin air.
Such is the reality of conducting technical research; often, one could put in a lot of effort but receive no reward.
"Indeed, we were close to obtaining the final set of data last ti. However, I’ve optimized the final set of data countless tis, pushed it to its limit, but it is still incorrect," Ding Xiaoyou explained briefly.
"So the gas deposition thod of mass production of graphene is less likely to be achieved then?" Ding Yue found it quite regrettable.
The efforts of his sister, Ding Xiaoyou, over the past two months were all in vain.
"Hmm." Ding Xiaoyou replied unhappily.
"Hey, setbacks are normal. When I was working with Professor Zhou Wen from Jiangnan University of Science and Technology on gallium nitride semiconductor materials, didn’t we also face many setbacks? But in the end, we worked them all out." Ding Yue consoled his sister.
Truthfully, when Ding Yue was researching gallium nitride semiconductor materials, he didn’t experience any real setbacks. Even when he did, it was only because he temporarily decided not to address them. His goal was to allow himself and Professor Zhou Wen from Jiangnan University of Science and Technology to "successfully" complete the research on gallium nitride semiconductor materials.
"I know." Ding Xiaoyou knew her brother was trying to comfort her, and quickly adjusted her mindset: "You wouldn’t just call to ask what I’m doing, right? Do you have so good news? Co on, tell and cheer up."
"Hahaha, you’re thinking too much. I don’t even want to say it anymore. It’s bad news." Ding Yue laughed, then decided not to report this piece of bad news to Ding Xiaoyou at this ti.
"Humph, tell !" Ding Xiaoyou imdiately got angry — very angry!
"Alright then, this is on your request. Don’t bla for stabbing you in the heart later." Ding Yue shrugged helplessly, then said: "Just now at the University Principals’ Forum, I had a chat with Principal He from Xia Country University of Science and Technology. It seems that he is not planning to cooperate with the Chemistry Departnt of our Mist City Arts and Science University. Moreover, Principal He said that the set of energy chemical technology experintal research equipnt we purchased from Nanyang Technological University may not be very cost-effective."
After Ding Yue finished relaying this "bad news", he fell silent for a few seconds.
After a while, Ding Xiaoyou on the other end of the phone suddenly asked: "Did Principal He say that the equipnt is for fuel energy technology or graphene battery energy technology, but can’t address the prerequisite conditions?"
Hiss!
At these words, Ding Yue instantly felt goosebumps all over him.
How could his sister guess so easily?
"Xiao You, how did you know that’s what Principal He said?" Ding Yue asked in astonishnt.
"Didn’t the failed data analysis I did today prove it? I tried using this equipnt to make graphene batteries, but I couldn’t even realize the optimization of the graphene peeling preparation thod."Ding Xiaoyou said with so sadness.
After hearing this, Ding Yue couldn’t help but fall silent for a while again.
This ti, Ding Yue genuinely felt heartbroken for his sister.
Although his sister, Ding Xiaoyou, was a genius in the field of chemistry and had the effect of a learning buff, getting her to solve the difficult problem of optimizing the graphene peeling preparation with the gas deposition thod at this stage was definitely challenging.
After all, Ding Yue had not transferred any related technical knowledge to his sister, and she had to solve one problem after another on her own.
People like Tong Yihang or Xu Bin could make achievents in their professional fields because Ding Yue had provided them with the technologies he had unlocked.
It seed that Ding Yue would have to take care of his sister more in the future.
"It’s okay. There are several thods for preparing graphene, right? Although the gas deposition thod may not be able to be optimized chemically, we could change the thod," Ding Yue continued to comfort his sister.
"So what thod do we use?"
"Aren’t there several other thods like chanical exfoliation, epitaxial growth, and oxidation-reduction? Don’t give up."
Ding Yue said casually.
anwhile, Ding Yue subtly summoned his system panel and entered the system store’s interface.
He tried to search for the technologies related to the thod of preparing graphene, but he discovered a certain thod that he and his sister once deed unlikely to be achievable was actually present in the system store at the "Minor Achievents" level.
