The technological empire begins with polymer materials

Nietzsche once said that when you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back into you.

After hearing what Gao Yuan said, Levi couldn't help but shudder. The young man in front of him was like a bottomless pool. On one side was the vitality and sunshine of youth, and on the other side was the coldness and determination of a warrior.

Facing the temptation offered by the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Gao Yuan remained unmoved and calm. This kind of self-confidence revealed from the bottom of his bones made Levi very uneasy.

However, after a moment of silence, Levi suddenly laughed, very happily.

"Young people should be happy with grudges and be high-spirited." Levi shrugged his shoulders and said: "I know that in China, most people have a feeling of family, country and world. This is your tradition for thousands of years. Every time At a critical moment, there are always some people who will step forward and turn the tide."

"Mr. Gao Yuan should be an idealist, familiar with history, and constantly learn and grow from China's long history, establishing a unique set of values."

The conversation suddenly changed. Levi stared into Gao Yuan's eyes and said, "It's a good thing to have ideals, but you can't forget reality."

"I agree." Gao Yuan chuckled, "In reality, the weakness of the Chinese people is that they are too naive and too kind. They like happy endings even when watching TV series, and rarely speculate on the world with the greatest malice."

"This habit is very bad. We must change it. We must learn to give up our illusions, learn to face the dripping blood, and welcome the malice of the world."

Levi was speechless. He opened his briefcase and handed Gao Yuan a thin piece of printing paper.

"Look at this." Levi said: "What Mr. Gao just said is your ideal, and the piece of paper in front of you is the real reality."

"This is the latest Hall of Fame list of the world's top 100 materials scientists released by Thomson Reuters Group. It is determined based on the citation rate of research papers published in the past ten years. It can be said to be quite authoritative."

"A total of fifteen Chinese scientists have been selected for the list. However, what is even more incredible is that in the past ten years, the top six of the top 100 materials scientists have all been Chinese!"

Logically speaking, it should be an honor for the Chinese to have so many elites in materials science, but for some reason, Gao Yuan's expression was as cold as frost.

After a pause, Levi continued: "Mr. Gao, please take a closer look. Who do these world-famous materials scientists work for?"

By now, even though Gao Yuan was calmer than his peers, his face was gradually becoming clouded.

The best materials scientist of the past decade.

The first place, Yang Peidong, plays for the University of California, Berkeley.

Second place, Yin Yadong, plays for the University of California, Riverside.

The third place, Huang Xuanyi, plays for Tsinghua University in Wanwan Province.

Fourth place, Xia Younan, plays for Georgia Tech.

Fifth place, Yugang Sun, works for the Nanophysics Research Center of Argonne National Laboratory.

Sixth place, Wu Yiying, plays for Ohio State University.

After a long silence, the corners of Gao Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, as if with a wry smile.

As a person who seeks truth from facts, Gao Yuan knows that this is the current reality, but this reality is too tragic.

The six major materials scientists are all Chinese, but except for one in the reactionary Benwan Province, the rest are all in North America, working for the Anglo-Saxons.

Looking down, Duan Xiangfeng, ranked 20th, is at the University of California, Los Angeles, Zhifeng Ren, ranked 49th, is at the University of Houston, Zhenan Bao, ranked 62nd, is at Stanford University, and Yeming Jiang, ranked 66th, is at Massachusetts. Polytechnic University…

There are a total of fifteen materials scientists on the list, of which only Wan Meixiang, ranked 43rd, and Meng Xiangmin, ranked 99th, are currently working at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Of the fifteen people, only two stayed in the country. What a tragic reality this is.

Huh~

Gao Yuan put the printing paper on the table, but after thinking about it, he took out another thumbtack and nailed it directly to the most conspicuous place on the wall! It seems that I want to use this piece of paper to remind myself and motivate myself.

Seeing Gao Yuan's move, Levi was surprised and a little admired. He began to truly understand that the young man in front of him was not that simple.

"Thank you for your reminder." Gao Yuan said: "Originally, I didn't have particularly strong confidence in the future, but now, I already understand what I want to do."

Levi smiled slightly, "So, you finally understand the gap between reality and ideals? I admit that Mr. Gao Yuan may be an anomaly. He has no experience of studying abroad and has no intention of serving the United States. But in this world, not everyone can Think of it this way.”

"Under the current situation, even if Mr. Gao Yuan can control the local area, it will not have much impact on the overall war situation. After all, the world needs a large number of geniuses to build, and you are just one of them. It is impossible for one person to change the world. .”

"In this case, why not follow the trend? No matter how good the X fiber is, it will still be rated by our North American research system. No matter how good you are, Mr. Gao Yuan, the paper you write will still be published in our academic journals."

"There is an idiom that says the mantis arm is like a chariot. I don't want you, Mr. Gao Yuan, to be the mantis blocking the advancement of the American chariot. If you do, you will be shattered to pieces."

Gao Yuan sighed softly. He must admit that the gap between China and the United States is still very large, and it is difficult to catch up overnight.

But a few seconds later, Gao Yuan raised the corner of his mouth and said to Levi: "You are right. Just catching up with you in industry and technology is not enough. When can the world form a consensus? I think it is an honor to learn Chinese and it is an honor to work in China. Only then will we be truly revitalized."

"Although the road is long and difficult, I am willing to give it a try."

"Mr. Levi, thank you for the list. It's not rude to come back but don't reciprocate. I also have something for you."

After that, Gao Yuan opened the drawer, took out a thick stack of papers, and handed it to Levi.

Levi was suspicious, but after he saw the title clearly, he immediately showed an excited look and quickly turned the pages. However, after he turned through about dozens of pages, his expression changed again and his brows furrowed.

Levi swallowed, "Is this your paper on X-fiber?"

Gao Yuan nodded slightly, "That's right."

Levi asked in confusion: "Why the Chinese version?"

Gao Yuan showed a caring look, "Because my mother tongue is Chinese."

Levi looked around, "Where is the English version?"

Gao Yuan shook his head slightly, "There is no English version."

Levi seemed to be greatly shocked, "How can it be published in top journals like Science and Nature without an English version?"

Gao Yuan said calmly: "I have no intention of publishing it in science, nor do I intend to publish it in other journals."

Levi's eyes widened and he couldn't believe his ears, "Are you crazy!? Science is the most authoritative academic journal on the planet! It plays an irreplaceable role in the academic research community around the world! Can you be in science? It is an honor for all researchers to publish their research results!”

Gao Yuan spread his arms to express his disapproval.

Then he took the paper back from Levi's hand and said with a smile: "Sir, you don't have to worry about this. I don't belong to any academic circles and I'm too lazy to deal with them."

"This paper and other follow-ups will be placed on my own website. Everyone is welcome to read and discuss, but if you can't understand it, it's not my problem."

In a daze, Levi walked out of Gaoyuan's office with a confused look on his face.

He never expected that today would have such a result. Gao Yuan is so strange. What on earth is he going to do?

As soon as he walked out of the door, he was blown away by the cold wind outside. Levi immediately shivered and thought of a very important question.

"Mr. Gao Yuan, what is the name of the website you just mentioned?"

Gao Yuan raised his head and looked at Levi with a smile, "Kunlun asked."
