会议的地点在凯悦酒店,位于联合广场,距离唐人街只有几步之遥。酒店提供内部用餐场所以及24小时健身房,有专门的会议室可以为学术会议提供举办空间。Droveto deliver to the destinationLu Zhou, Surrottstopped the car(riage)after the underground garage, walkedtoward the elevatorwithLu Zhoutogether.
开车将陆舟送到了目的地,萨罗特将车停在了地下车库后,和陆舟一起往电梯走去。Thisconferencenot onlyexchanges the academic issuewith the peer the good opportunity, expands the good opportunity of personal connection. Like the opportunity, anyresearchers who have the aspirationeasilywill not let off.
这种会议不但是与同行交流学术问题的好机会,同时也是扩充人脉的好机会。像这样的机会,任何一个有抱负的研究员都不会轻易放过。Naturally, whatis different from hisboss, Lu Zhoufromsittingthat moment of airplane, allexpensesbyorganizerreimbursement. ButSurrott attended thisconference, but must shell out.
当然,和他的老板不同的是,陆舟从坐上飞机的那一刻开始,所有的费用都是由主办方报销的。而萨罗特参加这个会议,还得自掏腰包。Standson the elevator, Lu ZhoulookedtoSurrott: „Iplanto go upstairsone-night stand, you?”
站在电梯上,陆舟看向了萨罗特:“我打算上楼睡一觉,你呢?”Surrottcannotbelieve that looked atLu Zhouone: „Youplannedunexpectedlysleeps? A whilealsohas a dance party.”
萨罗特不敢相信地看了陆舟一眼:“你竟然打算去睡觉?一会儿可是还有一场舞会。”„Iwill not dance,”Lu Zhouhad a yawn, the interestlacked saying that „, moreoverthisbanquetparticipated inonetimeenough.”
“我不会跳舞,”陆舟打了个哈欠,兴趣缺缺地说道,“而且这种宴会参加一次就够了。”Held the same dayeveningat the seminar, biggerandmore formaldance party.
在研讨会举行当天的晚上,还有一场规模更大、更加正式的舞会。As forthistypefor the academic exchangespreheatingparty, participatesto himdoes not matter.
至于这种为学术交流预热的派对,对他来说参不参加都无所谓。Treated for severalhourson the airplane, heonlywantsto lieon the bednowone-night stand, conserves strengthfor the tomorrow'saward presentation ceremony and speech.
在飞机上待了几个小时,他现在只想躺在床上睡一觉,为明天的颁奖仪式和演讲养精蓄锐。Surrottmade a helplessexpression: „Youslept, Iwent to a buildinghalla whilelater. Needsmeto helpyoucall a dinnerto deliver toyourroom?”
萨罗特做了个无奈的表情:“那你去睡觉好了,我等会儿去一楼大厅待一会儿。需要我帮你叫一份晚餐送到你的房间吗?”Lu Zhoubeckons with the hand: „Does not use, happiness that youplay, ifIwere hungry, will telephoneto the onstage.”陆舟摆了摆手:“不用,你自己玩的开心,如果我饿了,会给前台打电话。”Surrott'sroominthreebuildings, before attended the dance party, healsoneedsto makesomepreparations, for examplegivesownhairsupplementary stationmossand so on.
萨罗特的房间在三楼,在去参加舞会之前,他还需要做一些准备,比如给自己的头发补点摩丝之类的。Isrides the elevatorto continueupwardlyas forLu Zhou, arrived atfivebuildings.
至于陆舟则是乘坐电梯继续向上,来到了五楼。Acrossspreading the corridor of red carpet, after corridormiddlerest area, two man who wears the suitnoticedhim, immediatelystops the talk, set outfrom the sofa, welcomedtohim.
穿过铺着红地毯的走廊,在经过走廊中间的休息区的时候,两位穿着西装的男人注意到了他,立刻停止了谈话,从沙发上起身,向他这边迎了上来。SomeLu Zhouaccidents/surpriseslook attwoone that the front surfacewalked, onlyfeltsomewhatlooks familiar, actuallycannot name the character.陆舟有些意外地看了迎面走来的二位一眼,只觉得其中一位有些眼熟,却又叫不出名字来。„Fortunate meeting, Professorlandfrom Princeton, seesyouvery muchhappilyhere.”Thatold person who seemed like the comparisonto look familiarextended the right hand, graspedgraspingwithLu Zhou, saidwarmly.
“幸会,来自普林斯顿的陆教授,很高兴在这里见到你。”那位看起来比较面熟的老人伸出了右手,和陆舟握了握,热情地说道。„Good...... to ask that youare?”
“您好……请问您是?”„Stanley Whittingham, New York State UniversityGuestHanmudunBranch school,”old personintroduced oneselfwell-mannered.
“斯坦利・惠廷厄姆,纽约州立大学宾汉姆顿分校,”老人彬彬有礼地自我介绍道。Hearsthisname, the Lu Zhouexpressionappearsimmediatelysuddenly.
听到这个名字,陆舟的表情顿时浮现一丝恍然。Stanley Whittingham( stanleywhittingham), thisperson was also the lithium batterydomainbigcow, no wonderhewill feelto look familiar.
斯坦利・惠廷厄姆(stanley・whittingham),这人也是个锂电领域的大牛了,难怪他会觉得面熟。As forthisold mangood, inthe 70's, hethentook the anode materialwith the titanium sulfide, the lithiumtakes the negative electrode material, designed the earliestlithium batterypond. Butthisis also recognized, earliestlithium batterypond.
至于这位老头有多牛,早在70年代的时候,他便用硫化钛作为正极材料,金属锂作为负极材料,设计出了最早的锂电池。而这也是公认的,最早的锂电池。
The secureissue that becausejustwell-knownlithium dendritescauses, the lithium batterypondcannotsuccessfullygo out of the laboratory. Until the Lu Zhoumodifiedpdmsmaterialsolvedthisproblem, the lithium batterypondwascompletedfrom the bombto the transformation of battery.
只不过因为众所周知的锂枝晶导致的安全性问题,锂电池一直没能成功走出实验室。直到陆舟的改性pdms材料解决了这一问题,锂电池才算是完成了从炸弹到电池的蜕变。„Fortunate meetingfortunate meeting,”Lu ZhouandStanleyshake hand, looked that tostoodbyhim that „this is?”
“幸会幸会,”陆舟和斯坦利握了握手,看向了站在他旁边的那位,“这位是?”ProfessorStanleyintroduced: „ThisisDahlen Woods, Exxon MobilCEO.”
斯坦利教授介绍道:“这位是达伦・伍兹,埃克森美孚ceo。”„Knowsyouvery muchhappily, Professorland.”Dahlen WoodssmilestoLu Zhou, extended the right hand, „youare impressivein the paper that Nature, " Science "onpublished, aresomeviewpoints too are difficultto understand, perhapsmy many things must consulttoyou.”
“很高兴认识您,陆教授。”达伦・伍兹对陆舟笑了笑,也伸出了右手,“您在《自然》、《科学》上刊登的论文令人印象深刻,就是有些观点实在太难懂了,恐怕我有不少东西还得向您请教。”Althoughhas not heardDahlen Woods, butExxon MobilLu Zhouhasto hear.
虽然没有听说过达伦・伍兹,但埃克森美孚陆舟还是有听说过的。Rememberstwomonths ago, CEOorRex Theiler of Mobil. Howeverassomeproperty magnatemounts the stage, thisoncein16yearswas evaluated„the world'smost influentialCEO” the executive, thensubmitted the resignation letter, changes professions, when the secretary of state.
记得就在两个月前,美孚的ceo还是雷克斯・蒂勒森。不过随着某个地产大亨上台,这位曾在16年被评为“全球最具影响力ceo”的高管,便递交了辞呈,转行当国务卿去了。It seems likethisWoods, is Theilersuccessor.
看来这位伍兹,便是蒂勒森的继任者。„Hello,”andthisCEOshakes hand, someLu Zhouaccidents/surprisesvisithimto ask: „Is Mr.Woodsalso interestedin the lithium batterypond?”
“您好,”和这位ceo握了握手,陆舟有些意外地看着他问道:“伍兹先生也对锂电池感兴趣?”Woodsshows a faint smile: „Naturally, petroleum, but the preciousindustrial chemicals, were usedto burn too waste. Compares the gasoline, weare willingto makeitturn into the industrial chemicals. In fact, toalleviateglobal warmingand other series ofclimatic issues, wehave always been making efforts to the investment of new energydomain, the batterynaturally is also important part.”
伍兹微微一笑:“当然,石油可是宝贵的化工原料,用来燃烧实在是太浪费了。相比起汽油,我们更愿意让它变成化工原料。事实上,为了缓解全球变暖等一系列气候问题,我们一直致力于新能源领域的投资,电池自然也是其中至关重要的一环。”AlthoughExxon Mobilis a GAZPROM, butitsstepping-indomainnot onlyactually the petroleum gas, has also browsedto the chemical industry, automobile and new energywaitindustry.
埃克森美孚虽然是一家石油天然气公司,但其涉足的领域却不只是石油天然气,对化工、汽车、新能源等等行业也都有所涉猎。
The earliestlithium batterypondis the laboratory of ProfessorStanleydoes, butfunderMobilchemical industry.
最早的锂电池是斯坦利教授的实验室做出来的,而出资者正是美孚化工。Lu Zhousmiles, withoutspeech.陆舟笑了笑,没有说话。Mobilis interestedin the new energydomainis normal, will not be interestedheinsteadto find itstrange. Howevermustsayreasonbecause ofwhatglobal warmingand so onsocial responsibilities, that was also too funny.
美孚对新能源领域感兴趣是正常的,不感兴趣他反而才会觉得奇怪。不过要说原因是因为什么全球气候变暖之类的社会责任感,那也太滑稽了。
The flashing eyeslook atLu Zhou, Woodscontinueto askwith a smile: „The synthesisabouthcs-1materialhad the progress?”
目光炯炯地看着陆舟,伍兹笑着继续问道:“说起来,关于hcs-1材料的合成工艺有进展了吗?”Lu Zhoushakes the head: „Alsono.”陆舟摇了摇头:“还没有。”„Thatalso is really regrettable,”Woodssighed, saidwith the quiteregrettabletone,„thatwas a verygoodmaterial, howeveritsprice was a little really unacceptable.”
“那还真是令人遗憾,”伍兹叹了口气,用颇为遗憾的语气说道,“那是个非常不错的材料,但是它的价格实在有点让人无法接受。”Clearly, the Mobilchemical industryalsoilluminatesLu Zhouin that method in the paperdescribing, conducted the heat togetherto respondwith the carbon nanotube and fullerencematerial,screeningobtainedfewhcs-1, andaccording to20%weight fractionallocated proportions and elemental sulfurs conducted the mix.
很明显,美孚化工也照着陆舟在论文中描述的那个方法,用碳纳米管与富勒烯材料进行共热反应,筛选得到了少量的hcs-1,并且按照20%的质量分数配比与单质硫进行了混合。Although the cycle-index and cycle efficiencyare notin a friendly way, butitsoutstandingenergy density, is still mouth-watering.
虽然循环次数和循环效率都算不上友好,但其优秀的能量密度,依旧让人垂涎。Probably the quad-rotor unmanned helicopter, someunderwater operationequipment, to the duration performancerequesthighdomain, the space of lithiumsulfurbatteryareverybig
像是四旋翼无人机,一些水下作业设备,对续航性能要求较高的领域,锂硫电池的空间还是很大的Lu Zhousaid: „Right, butitstillhas very bigflawin my opinion.”陆舟笑着说:“是吗,但是在我看来它还存在很大的缺陷。”Woodsshakes the head: „, Youare not clear, request of notallbatteriestocycle-indexandcycle efficiencysoharsh, sometimeswetopursue the energy densitywill also use to replace the disposablebattery.”
伍兹摇了摇头:“不不不,你不明白,并不是所有电池对循环次数和循环效率的要求都如此的苛刻,有时候我们为了追求能量密度也会使用可更换一次性电池。”Stopped the moment, Woodssmiledwas offering the invitation: „Ifsolvedthistechnological difficulty, to the whole world, will benefit greatly, does not know whether youdo needsomesubsidization?”
停顿了片刻,伍兹微笑着提出了邀请:“如果解决了这个技术难题,对整个世界来说,都将受益匪浅,不知道您是否需要一些资助?”Lu Zhoushakes the head: „Very regrettable, myresearchdoes not need, perhapsyoucanconsiderto investsomemore potentiallaboratory.”陆舟摇了摇头:“很遗憾,我的研究并不需要,或许你可以考虑投资一些更有潜力的实验室。”„That was really regrettable, in my opinionno onehad the potentialto completethisgreatworkcompared withyou.”
“那真是太遗憾了,在我看来没有人比你更有潜力完成这项伟大的工作。”
This is the second time that Woodsspeaking of„regret”thisword, althoughon the mouthis saying, hisexpressionactuallynotmanyregrettableappearances.
这是伍兹第二次说到“遗憾”这个词,不过虽然嘴上这么说着,他的表情却并没有多少遗憾的样子。
The laboratory that veryobviously, Mobilinvestsis also conductingsimilarresearch.
很显然,美孚投资的实验室也在进行着类似的研究。Moreoverperhapshad producedmanyachievements, butpressesnot to publish the periodic result.
而且恐怕已经出了不少成果,只是把阶段性成果压着没有发表出来而已。LookedstoodinhisnearbyProfessorStanley, in the Lu Zhouheartunderstands clearlyslightly.
看了站在他旁边的斯坦利教授一眼,陆舟心中略微了然。These twoareinquired the research development.
这两人原来是来打探自己研究进展的。Thinks ofhere, in the Lu Zhouheartshakes the headwith a smile.
想到这里,陆舟心中不禁笑着摇了摇头。
To knowhisresearch development?
想知道他的研究进展?Said, boughtthis" Science "looked that twodid not know.
好说啊,买本《科学》看两眼不就知道了。Hehas not covered-up.
他从来就没藏着掖着过。Then after chattingseveral, discovered that two peoplehave been testing themselves, Lu Zhouthoughtimmediatelysomeinterestslack, thensaid the soundsaid goodbye, dragging the suitcaseto walktowardownroom.
接着聊了几句之后,发现两人一直在试探自己,陆舟顿时觉得有些兴趣缺缺,便说了声告辞,拖着行李箱向自己的房间走去。Gazes afterWoods who thisbig shotis leaving, received the smiling face on facegradually, lookedtonearbyProfessorStanley.
目送着这位大佬离开的伍兹,渐渐收起了脸上的笑容,看向了旁边的斯坦利教授。„Youthought that whichstephisresearchwas done?”
“你觉得他的研究进行到了哪一步?”ProfessorStanleyknits the browsslightly: „Did not say, thisperson of hidingwas very deep. Ifsendsin " Science "ontwopapersisheat presentcompletely the research development, weinthistoppingopportunityareverybig, butIdo not believeonly thenthese.”
斯坦利教授微微皱眉:“不太好说,这人藏的很深。如果发在《科学》上的两篇论文就是他目前全部研究进展,我们在这块拔得头筹的机会还是很大的,但我不相信只有这些。”
, ProfessorStanley the expressionsomewhatwas dignified, the tonecontinuesto sayearnestly.
顿了顿,斯坦利教授表情有些凝重,语气认真地继续说道。„Haven't younoticed? Althoughwehave probedhisresearch development, butheis actually indifferentaboutourresearchprogressradically, evenasked that an interestdoes not have......”
“你没注意到吗?虽然我们一直试探他研究进展,但他对我们的研究进度却根本漠不关心,甚至连问一句的兴趣都没有……”
