The fourth week of November, is on black Friday the later second day, the m Autumn session convenes as scheduled. 十一月的第四个星期,也就是黑色星期五之后的第二天,m秋会如期召开。 Because was invited to attend the meeting, Lu Zhou also enjoyed a treatment of chapter of distinguished guest, after alighting from the airplane, then rode the private car of sending and picking up, arrived in the five-star hotel of organizer arrangement. 因为是受邀参会,陆舟也算是享受了一回贵宾的待遇,下了飞机之后便坐上了接送的专车,抵达了主办方安排的五星级酒店。 Generally speaking, the MRS conference duration at least is one week, occasionally will tow to tenth day. 一般来讲,m会议的持续时间至少是一个星期,偶尔会拖到第十天。 As for this time, the situation is not quite a little same. 至于这一次,情况有点儿不太一样。 As the lithium dendrites issue has been properly solved, these days the paper of lithium battery pond related concept presents blowout to grow, the paper quantity that photovoltaic material these and new energy links up with also has the growth in varying degrees. 随着锂枝晶问题得到妥善解决,这段时间锂电池相关概念的论文呈现井喷式增长,连带着光伏材料这些和新能源挂钩的论文数量也出现不同程度的增长。 Many spring meets has made the research agency of report, even mounted on a dead horse had reported before the thing changed, catches up with a paper to come out to apply for the oral report meeting, the organizer has to extend 12 days the conference time. 很多春会已经做过报告的研究机构,甚至炒冷饭地把以前报告过的东西改一改,赶了篇论文出来申请口头报告会,以至于主办方不得不将会议时间延长到了十二天。 As for the Lu Zhou public lecture, was arranged next morning. 至于陆舟的报告会,被安排在第二天上午。 Just arrived at him in Boston, today also has no special arrangement, therefore planned a revolution of revolutions nearby this. Listens to several public lectures while convenient, style that familiar under here gives a speech. 刚到波士顿的他,今天也没有什么特别的安排,于是打算在这附近转转。顺便听几场报告会,熟悉下这里作报告的风格。 Baggage along will place the bedside, Lu Zhou went to the washroom to wash the face, then went downstairs to go to nearby the hotel not the far conference site center. 将随身的行李放在了床边,陆舟去洗手间洗了把脸,然后便下楼前往了酒店附近不远的会场中心。 Even if has attended many public lectures, sees the m Autumn session appearance/portrait Lu Zhou, cannot bear in the heart sighs with emotion. 即便已经参加过不少报告会,见到m秋会真容的陆舟,还是忍不住在心中感慨。 On the scale, MRS conference was really big, with the conference of mathematics circles simply not in a magnitude. 就规模上来讲,m会议实在是太大了,和数学界的会议简直不在一个量级上。 Dozens conference sites, several hundred topics, as well as several thousand and even over ten thousand conference participants. 几十个会场,数百个专题,以及数千乃至上万名会议参与者。 Every year to this time, the hotel and hotel near conference site exceptionally will be irritable. Because most people attend the meeting with own expense, even is joins in the fun merely, is obviously impossible to be responsible for solving the board and lodging regarding part of person of organizers. 每年到这个时候,会场附近的酒店、宾馆都会异常火爆。因为大多数人都是自费参会,甚至仅仅是过来凑个热闹,对于这一部分人主办方显然是不可能负责解决食宿的。 Formally, the MRS conference pattern and federal math learned was held in Princeton the academic conference has no big difference. 从形式上来讲,m会议的模式和联邦数学学会在普林斯顿举行过的学术会议没什么大的区别。 Each conference site is divided into the oral report to be able with the poster to demonstrate two parts. 每一个会场都分为口头报告会和海报展示两个部分。 The former is the big cow is doing generally, many high-quality papers and reports. This part is not only the essence of public lecture, is Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard and Cornell this kind of strong school „battlefield”. 前者一般都是大牛在做,有很多高质量的论文和报告。这部分不但是报告会的精华,同时也是麻省理工、哈佛、康奈尔这类强校的“战场”。 Especially related to some popular, and front domain, discussion usually especially „intense”, if even if had the physical clashes do not find it strange. 尤其是涉及到一些热门且前沿的领域,讨论通常会格外的“激烈”,就算万一发生了肢体冲突也千万不要觉得奇怪。 As for the latter, the threshold is relatively low, so long as the paper of contribution conference can pass, even if cannot attain the opportunity of oral report, usually can also take a poster location of corresponding topic. 至于后者,门槛相对较低,只要投稿会议的论文过得去,哪怕拿不到口头报告的机会,通常也能拿一个相应专题的海报展位。 However also therefore, this on the other hand good and bad people mixed up, having the level is high, but deficient opportunity calf, there is in a legend „ppt pioneer”. Possibly is here, because attention is not high, everyone discussed issue time is quite warm, but also calculates the restraint generally speaking. 然而也正是因此,这一块相对来说鱼龙混杂,有水平高但缺乏机会的小牛,也有传说中的“ppt创业者”。可能是这里的因为关注度不高,大家讨论问题的时候都比较热情,但总的来说还算克制。 Across Lu Zhou of conference site center, looked around everywhere, discovered that everyone manner is very currently speaking friendly, 3322 walk in the same place, some photographs, some are cheerful and lively...... 穿过会场中心的陆舟,四处张望了下,发现大家行为举止目前来说都很友好,三三两两走在一起,有的拍照,有的有说有笑…… In brief, does not have Professor Csillik to describe is so exaggerating. 总之,并没有奇里克教授形容的那么夸张。 Sees this, Lu Zhou is also relaxes. 见到这一幕,陆舟也算是松了口气。 Just next airplane time, he still in must buy the fellow self-defense while convenient hesitant, but looks like own consideration to be purely unnecessary now. 刚下飞机的时候,他还在犹豫要不要买件趁手的家伙防身,但现在看来自己的考虑纯粹是多余了。 However in order to insurance, he of system reward „watch” belt/bring on body. 不过保险起见,他还是把系统奖励的那个“手表”带在了身上。 Even if the big probability cannot use. 即便大概率是用不上的。 ...... …… In the poster demonstrated that the area strolled a while, Lu Zhou happen to arrived at the conference site of lithium battery pond topic. 在海报展示区闲逛了一会儿,陆舟正好走到了锂电池专题的会场。 When he passed by the first lecture hall, a public lecture is underway. 当他路过第一个报告厅的时候,一场报告会正在进行中。 Looks academic poster that an entrance posted, he discovered that the above content was actually the lithium air battery in legend, in the eye appeared immediately a being interested look. 看了眼门口张贴的学术海报,他发现上面的内容竟然是传说中的锂空气电池,眼中顿时浮现了一丝感兴趣的神色。 How long appearance saw the public lecture does not seem to start, the professor on stage is still preparing ppt, Lu Zhou then entered the lecture hall from the back door, looked for a position to sit down in the back row, prepares to listen. 见报告会好像没有开始多久的样子,台上的教授还在准备ppt,陆舟便从后门走进了报告厅,在后排找了个位置坐下,准备听讲。 The strict sense, a series of lithium battery pond concept including lithium air battery, actually cannot be completely the material domain topic. 严格意义上来讲,包括锂空气电池在内的一系列锂电池概念,其实并不能完全算是材料领域的课题。 But is like the photovoltaic concept, the subject matter when a big proposition faces leaves on the material, it naturally turned into the proposition of material science, even if it seemingly is more like the new energy issue. 但就和光伏概念一样,当一个大命题所面临的主要问题都出在材料上,它自然就变成了材料学的命题,即便它看上去更像是新能源的问题。 Quick, the public lecture starts. 很快,报告会开始。 Stands on the platform, is very neat professor who a hair combs, roughly 50-year-old appearance. 站在讲台上的,是一位头发梳的很整齐的教授,约莫50多岁的样子。 Looks at the writing on ppt title page to introduce, his name was Surrott, from Cornell University. 看ppt封面上的文字介绍,他的名字叫萨罗特,来自康奈尔大学。 „Ladies, the gentlemen, being honored stands very much here. It is well known, in some time ago Professor Lu Zhou from Princeton University, in that paper about modified pdms membranous material «Natural Chemistry» on published, tackled in the lithium battery pond technology the most essential difficult problem!” “女士们,先生们,很荣幸站在这里。众所周知,就在不久前来自普林斯顿大学的陆舟教授,在《自然化学》上发表的那篇关于改性pdms薄膜材料的论文,攻克了锂电池技术中最关键的难题！” „If were six months spring meeting, you may snort contemptuously to the concept of lithium air battery. But now, we must acknowledge, the new time has come!” “如果是半年前的春会,你们可能会对锂空气电池的概念嗤之以鼻。但现在,我们必须承认,新的时代已经来了！” Stands on the stage, delight that Professor Surrott spoke, less than a while, in nearby blank slate then wrote all over various reaction formulas, as well as various seemingly credible data. 站在台上,萨罗特教授讲的眉飞色舞,不到一会儿,旁边的白板上便写满了各种化学反应式,以及各种看似靠谱的数据。 Some people listen with total concentration, but also has few people to snort contemptuously. 部分人听的聚精会神,但也有一部分人嗤之以鼻。 Sits in the back row of conference site, Professor Correll of Columbia University is holding the both arms, endured to inquire the link, finally could not bear, said with the tone of satire. 坐在会场的后排,哥伦比亚大学的克雷尔教授抱着双臂,忍到了提问环节,终于忍不住了,用讽刺的语气说道。 „How do you solve in the lithium cathode and air the response of nitrogen? Steam? Even the sanitation engineers in our laboratory know, lithium lively. With all due respect, in my opinion, you do is not the battery, is the rocket.” “你怎么解决锂负极和空气中氮气发生的反应？还有水蒸气？连我们实验室里的清洁工都知道,锂有多活泼。恕我直言,在我看来,你做的不是电池,是火箭。” He makes the lithium sulfur battery, but the lithium sulfur battery is also now the mainstream of lithium battery pond research. Although the sunspot of lithium sulfur battery are also many, but seems like at least more spatial than the lithium credibly. 他是做锂硫电池的,而锂硫电池也是当今锂电池研究的主流。虽然锂硫电池的黑点也不少,但看起来至少比锂空靠谱点。 In the conference site many people smile to make noise, but Surrott has not cared. 会场里不少人都笑出了声来,但萨罗特并没有在意。 Sees only him to clear throat , to continue to say. 只见他清了清嗓子,继续说道。 The issue that „Professor Correll asks is very good, the intern in our laboratory also always asked this question, but the official researcher will usually not ask. What because we consider how to solve the problem, rather than only knows in great surprise mobs like the layman all day.” “克雷尔教授提的问题很好,我们实验室的实习生也经常问这个问题,但正式研究员通常不会这么问。因为我们考虑的是如何解决问题,而不是像个外行一样整天只知道大惊小怪。” Listened to the satire in words, did not smile in the person of smiling. 听出了话里的讽刺,原本在笑的人不笑了。 The person who had not smiled actually, smiles to make noise. 倒是原本没笑的人,笑出了声来。 Because looked possible. 因为有戏看了。 Not to the opportunity that Professor Correll refuted, Professor Surrott provoked looked at his one eyes, continued to say. 没有给克雷尔教授反驳的机会,萨罗特教授挑衅地看了他一眼,继续说道。 „We know that Mr. Correll does the lithium sulfur battery, but to be honest, I am also very curious, how he plans to solve the polysulfide intermediate to dissolve the electrolyte, spreads from the positive electrode across the mutual lack of understanding of the shuttle effect that the cathode causes? Usually under the condition, still knows even mental handicap, cannot positive and negative mount extremely in the same place.” “我们都知道克雷尔先生是搞锂硫电池的,但说实话,我也很好奇,他打算怎么解决多硫化物中间体溶解到电解液,穿过隔膜从正极扩散到负极导致的穿梭效应？通常境况下,就算是智障也知道,不能把正负极黏在一起。” Correll got angry immediately, must manifest suddenly shortly. 克雷尔顿时就怒了,眼看就要发作。 Surrott is actually thread of conversation one revolution , to continue to say. 萨罗特却是话锋一转,继续说道。 „About this issue, I have discussed with Professor Lu Zhou of Princeton. Theoretically, separates the pure oxygen from the air is not realistic, but through an excellent mathematical model, we can calculate that many potential products, have the possibility that helps us achieve the goal.” “关于这个问题,我和普林斯顿的陆舟教授谈过。从理论上来讲,从空气中分离纯氧是不现实,但通过一个绝妙的数学模型,我们可以推算出许多有潜力的产物,存在帮我们达成目标的可能性。” , Surrott with being full of the tone of instigation strength , to continue to say. 顿了顿,萨罗特用充满煽动力的语气,继续说道。 „I mean, if we can find, one type can the directional screening oxygen member through the issue that the mutual lack of understanding, the lithium air battery faces can be solved perfectly.” “我的意思是,如果我们能找到,一种能定向筛选氧气分子通过的隔膜,锂空气电池所面临的问题就能得到完美解决。” „However this topic, we are devoting to solve!” “而这一课题,也正是我们正在致力解决的！” Lu Zhou:??? 陆舟:？？？ When have I chatted with him?! 我什么时候和他聊过？！ As the voice of Professor Surrott falls, in the conference site no one spoke suddenly. 随着萨罗特教授的话音落下,会场里忽然就没有人说话了。 Including Professor Correll, the professor who was engaged in other direction research, on the face appeared looking pensive, even was the dignified look. 包括克雷尔教授在内,许多从事其他方向研究的教授,脸上都浮现了若有所思,甚至是凝重的神色。 Several wear suits sit in the back row man, then in low voice exchange idea. 几个穿着西装坐在后排的男人,则是在小声的交流意见。 From the appearance, these people do not seem like the researcher, moreover from their talks, Lu Zhou heard „investment” vaguely and „cost” and „feasibility” several keywords. 从面相来看,这几个人不太像是研究员,而且从他们的谈话中,陆舟依稀听见了“投资”、“成本”、“可行性”几个关键词。 Stops, he knows, oneself cannot get down silent. 到此为止,他知道,自己不能在沉默下去了。 Some people take oneself knowledge to install to compel not to have the issue. 有人拿着自己的知识装逼没问题。 But some people flaunt oneself banner to deceive the funds, this cannot endure! 但有人打着自己的旗号骗经费,这个不能忍啊！ Coughed gently the sound, the Lu Zhou station. 轻轻咳了声,陆舟站了起来。 Sees that stands, who Professor Surrott has not recognized this Asian all of a sudden is, knits the brows. 看到站起来的这位,萨罗特教授一下子没有认出来这位亚洲人是谁,不由皱了皱眉。 „This mister, you are......” “这位先生,请问你是……” „I am Lu Zhou,” Lu Zhou coughed lightly the sound, „I can testify, I have not said.” “我就是陆舟,”陆舟轻咳了声,“我可以作证,我没说过。” He has not said. 他还没说完。 Shoes flew from the back row reported stage. 一只鞋子就从后排飞上了报告台。 Follows also has the gel-ink pen and drinking glass that the organizer sends, all threw altogether, in entire lecture hall in great confusion. 紧随其后的还有主办方发的中性笔和水杯,一股脑地全都扔了上去,整个报告厅里乱成一团。 „Swindler, go away!” “骗子,滚吧！” „Brings your ppt to roll!” “带着你的ppt滚回去！” Before Lu Zhou stands, they also really almost by that so-called that Professor Surrott mentioned „mathematical model” fooling, suspected a half minute of life unexpectedly. 在陆舟站起来之前,他们还真就差点被萨罗特教授提到的那个所谓“数学模型”给唬住了,竟然怀疑了半分钟的人生。 Also because of these a half minute of suspicion, irritating them especially, felt oneself received deceiving! 也正是因为这半分钟的怀疑,让他们格外恼火,感觉自己受到了愚弄！ Professor Surrott who rallies together to attack, although seems somewhat distressed, but very obviously he is also a seeing the world person. Sees only thing that his skill avoids to throw agile, in that pack of speeches with the hand is protecting the profile, slipped away outside the lecture hall rapidly. 被群起而攻的萨罗特教授虽然显得有些狼狈,但很明显他也是个见过世面的人。只见他身手矫捷地躲开扔来的东西,用手中那叠演讲稿护着侧脸,迅速溜出了报告厅外。 Hears organizer staff who the sound rushes to promptly, stopped this group of angry researchers quickly. 听到动静及时赶到的主办方工作人员,很快制止了这群愤怒的研究员们。 From these staff helpless expressions, dealing with this condition obviously was not the first time. 从这些工作人员无奈的表情来看,应付这种状况显然不是第一次了。 Sat in behind of lecture hall, Lu Zhou saw the tail this unrest from the beginning, somewhat was scared. 坐在报告厅的后面,陆舟将这场骚乱从头看到了尾,不禁有些傻眼。 The style of industry...... 业界的画风…… Such valiant? 这么彪悍的吗？ Then, tomorrow will be this/should he mounts the stage. 说起来,明天就是该他上台了。 Lu Zhou felt suddenly, oneself present flusters one...... 陆舟忽然感觉,自己现在慌得一匹……
