I Have a Research Support System

With the USB flash drive and the doctoral thesis in the red cover, Xu Qiu went to Room 218 and reported to Wei Xingsi: "I have finished reviewing this thesis."

"Oh? So fast, how did he write?" Wei Xingsi took the USB flash drive and inserted it into the computer.

"One of the four SCI works, the main work is the PDI system," Xu Qiu briefly introduced the other party's four works: "First, through side chain modification..."

After introducing the work content, Xu Qiu concluded: "Overall, it's not bad, and the articles are written in a relatively systematic way. After all, they have published SCI papers. I can't find any major problems. I only found some writing errors, and some The font of the picture is too small, and the transition of the introduction part is not round, I have marked the corresponding page number, line number, and revision comments in the review comments."

While listening, Wei Xingsi browsed the review comments in the USB flash drive, finally nodded and said, "Yes, thanks for your hard work."

Afterwards, he picked up an envelope from the table, handed it to Xu Qiu, and explained: "This is the paper review fee they gave. Since you helped review it, I will give it to you."

"Okay." Xu Qiu took it directly. He knew that Wei Xingsi was relatively indifferent to money, and that Mr. Wei was a straightforward person, so as long as he did a good job, he would get the reward he should get directly. , generally not polite to him.

"By the way, how is the sample preparation for TAS going?" Wei Xingsi asked casually.

"The solution has been prepared, and the quartz glass can be collected from the material department tomorrow, and the sample can be prepared." Xu Qiu replied.

"Okay, go get busy." Wei Xingsi waved his hand.

Leaving 218, in the corridor, Xu Qiu looked at the envelope in his hand, and there was an unopened adhesive strip on the edge.

I squeezed it casually, and it still has a little thickness.

Xu Qiu carefully tore off the tape, poured out the banknotes inside, and counted them.

Hey, there are five hundred-yuan bills.

A little more than expected.

Different from SCI thesis review, there is a review fee for this kind of graduation thesis review. Generally, it may be two to three hundred for a master’s degree, and three to five hundred for a doctorate. Different schools may have different standards, but there will not be too much deviation. After the graduation process has been completed, the judges will be paid through the school's reimbursement method.

For a reviewer at the level of a professor, spending half a day reviewing a graduation thesis and earning a few hundred dollars can only be called "hard money".

The key point is that the money is not paid in cash after the evaluation, and it will take a month or two, which is a bit dishonest, so some teachers will advance the money in advance by themselves, and directly stuff an envelope or something when mailing the thesis. Like the one in Xu Qiu's hand.

This kind of operation is a bit similar to "reverse molecular money". This year my students graduated, and I will give you some gifts, and when your students graduate next year, you are giving me gifts.

When Xu Qiu returned to 216, Han Jiaying, who was in the state of coding, suddenly stopped and said, "Brother, do I need to test TAS for my system?"

"Hmm..." Xu Qiu thought for a moment, and said, "You can prepare some samples, please ask Mr. Feng Shengdong to test it, and I will say hello to him later."

"Okay~" Han Jiaying stretched her waist in Xu Qiu's direction, "Then I'm going to prepare the solution. After sitting for a long time, I feel my body is stiff."

"Go." Xu Qiu nodded, and edited a message to Teacher Feng Shengdong, "Our group has another system, and we want to test TAS, is that okay?"

I soon received a reply from Feng Shengdong, "Yes, just send it together with your samples directly, and the address is...".

Then there was another message, "I have already read the results of TRPL, and the overall analysis is good, but I can add some more content. When I finish the TAS test, I will write it and give it to you. You can integrate it into the text. "

This time is a bit similar to the situation when Tang Yunkun wrote the review before. People in different fields have different expression habits when writing articles, and the written text still needs to be revised and polished.

In particular, Mr. Feng Shengdong mainly does inorganic mechanism research, and the gap in language style is even greater. For example, in inorganic, they will mention "conduction band" and "valence band", but in organic, they usually talk about HOMO/LUMO energy levels.

If there is no embellishment, a "leading tape" appears suddenly in the article, and it is not impossible to meet a serious reviewer and directly kill the article for you.

At this time, Chen Wanqing came out of the inner laboratory, washed her hands, and discussed today's device results with Xu Qiu: "The PCE10 system still hasn't broken through 4%, and the PTAZ system has tried four devices, and the highest efficiency is 3.5%..."

Xu Qiu compared the preparation conditions of the senior sister’s PTAZ system with the best conditions in the simulation experiment system, and suggested: “Sister, you can try thermal spin coating and the solvent additive DIO.” In fact, DIO is the core optimization Plan, but to be on the safe side, Xu Qiula used hot spin coating with no improvement effect as a smoke bomb.

"Okay, I'll try it tomorrow." Chen Wanqing shook her hand in the sink, dried it with a roll of paper, and went back to her desk, saying, "I'll contact them to buy 200 mg of materials first, and I'm almost running out of PTAZ samples. .”

"By the way, isn't senior sister planning to develop the next generation of A-D-A materials?" Xu Qiu asked casually.

"Get the data of the IDT-ICIN system first, and then synthesize it while writing the article, just like Han Jiaying is doing now." Chen Wanqing paused, and continued: "The main reason is that the next molecular structure optimization has increased the difficulty. Quite a few, whether it is the optimization of the central D unit or the optimization of the ICIN unit, it involves three or four steps, or even five or six steps of response.”

Xu Qiu jokingly said, "I still remember senior sister's ten-step synthesis at the beginning, and she didn't even frown when she did it. Why are you so cowardly now?"

Chen Wanqing shrugged and said, "Didn't you be educated?"

...

The next day, Monday.

After Xu Qiu sent Han Jiaying to the school bus, he went directly to the supplies department to get the quartz glass sheets, along with a few packs of disposable PE gloves, disposable syringes and other laboratory consumables, and then walked towards the materials.

There was no need for a group meeting today, and people were relatively slack. When Xu Qiu arrived at the gate of 216 at 9:22, he was the first to arrive.

With the materials in his arms, Xu Qiu took out his campus card in an extremely distorted posture, swiped open the access control, and entered the room.

After putting the consumables used in the laboratory cabinet, Xu Qiu took out 45 pieces of quartz glass and put them on the bracket, put them into a beaker filled with isopropanol solution, and started ultrasonic cleaning.

After cleaning, Xu Qiu picked up the quartz glass sheet with tweezers, dried it with a nitrogen gun, treated the surface of the substrate with ozone, and sent it to the spin-coating glove box.

Subsequently, replace the suction table of the small-sized glue homogenizer, spin coat, put the sample into a plastic bag, mark the number on the plastic bag, and seal it with a vacuum laminator.

A total of 13 groups and 39 samples were obtained.

These include 3 blank samples, 21 samples from Xu Qiu, and 15 samples from Han Jiaying.

During the whole spin coating process, Xu Qiu has been careful.

After all, this piece of quartz glass with an area of ​​one square centimeter is not as big as a fingernail, and the price is about 5 yuan.

Fortunately, Xu Qiu's spin coating skills are very good now, and he didn't make any mistakes. He made a net profit of 78 cute ones, which is enough for him and her to eat for a year.

After finishing the samples, Xu Qiu called Chen Wanqing and handed over the right to use the glove box to the senior sister.

Chen Wanqing started to prepare a new batch of devices, while Xu Qiu called the agent of the DHL express company and made an appointment to pick up the parts in the afternoon.

The four major international express companies are DHL, UPS, TNT and FEDEX. For small samples, DHL is generally the most cost-effective, and it can be delivered within 2-5 working days, and the express fee is not expensive, and it is charged according to the weight. For a package weighing 0.5 kg to Sweden, the shipping fee is about 104 yuan, and for a package weighing 1 kg to Sweden, the shipping fee is about 120 yuan...

Although the number of Xu Qiu's samples is quite large, as many as 39, none of them weighs more than 1 kg.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the courier brother came to pick up the package on time, and Xu Qiu handed the packaged samples to the other party.

"What is this thing you want to send?" The courier boy observed the buzzing equipment in the laboratory inside, and suddenly felt that this thing in his hand was not simple.

"It's mainly quartz glass." Xu Qiu replied truthfully. When he saw Wu Feifei sending samples in China, he told Brother Shunfeng that the solid samples she sent were documents, and the other party accepted them directly. But now his This kind of international express delivery has to go through customs, so it is better to tell the truth. Although there is a layer of film on it, it is not deceiving to say that it is mainly quartz glass.

"Is this thing non-toxic?" the courier boy asked again.

"Don't worry, it's not poisonous." Xu Qiu vowed. This is also true. The coated film is mainly composed of 3D-PDI molecules and P3TEA. The former is a dye molecule, and the latter is a polymer, which is almost non-toxic to the human body. , unless you take a bite...

"Okay, let me weigh it." The courier brother picked up the portable electronic scale that he carried with him and began to weigh. "Well, the total is 816 grams, and the charge is 150 yuan."

"The price has increased?" Xu Qiu remembered that the previous inquiry price was around 120 yuan.

"Well, the price listed on the website is a reference price, and it will change at any time." The courier brother took a photo of the sample, then put the sample in the file bag, and said, "Please check the address again."

Xu Qiu didn't care about the price either. He looked at the address on the list. After checking it, he took out two hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and said, "There is no problem with the address. I will pay in cash."

"Fifty for you." The courier brother pasted up the file bag, handed Xu Qiu a receipt, and then left.

After asking Mr. Wei for reimbursement of the courier fee, Xu Qiu came back to take over Chen Wanqing's device preparation work and started evaporation.

The senior sister was able to find time to supplement various representation methods.

In the evening, Xu Qiu finished testing the device of the senior sister.

The highest efficiency, 5.19%!
