"Actually, it's nothing. I also switched from a PhD to a Master's degree and graduated early. Sometimes it's not shameful to go from a PhD to a Master's degree. When you're desperate, it can be a way out." Luo Shu couldn't help but tease her.
The other party angrily shouted, "Get out! Get out! Get out!"
"If I could get a job at Apple by switching from a PhD to a Master's program, I would be willing to do it without hesitation!"
"It's a pity that if I switch from a PhD to a Master's degree, all I can do after graduation is work as a screwdriver at BYD."
This is just his Versailles rhetoric. Given the current popularity of new energy in recent years, graduates with bachelor's and master's degrees in lithium batteries from Aurora University should have no problem getting offers with total packages of over 300,000 RMB.
"Stop making sarcastic remarks."
Luo Shu stopped joking and asked, "So what do you plan to do?"
"Of course I have to change direction. I can't publish papers in the current direction. Kechuang Bio has directly pushed the energy density to such a high level that I can't publish my papers in Q1 SCI journals and I won't be able to graduate."
It's emo.
The requirements for doctoral graduation at Aurora University are still very high. Because everyone in the materials science field is very competitive, the graduation requirements are getting higher and higher every year.
Luo Shu comforted her, "At worst, you can just switch to a master's degree and get a job. It's not a big deal, since you plan to go into industry after you graduate with your doctorate, not find a teaching position."
"The problem is that there is a big difference between graduating with a master's degree and graduating with a doctorate. If I graduate with a doctorate and go to CATL or BYD, I have a high probability that I can directly lead a research group."
If you only have a master's degree, then forget about it.
Moreover, I've already studied for three years, and graduation is just around the corner. I'm really unwilling to switch to a master's program.
I'll struggle a little longer.
The fact that Kechuang Biotechnology can achieve an energy density of 700Wh/kg for lithium batteries must be due to a breakthrough in materials.
A breakthrough has been achieved in one of these three components: positive electrode material, negative electrode material, and electrolyte.
My only hope now is that there won't be a breakthrough in cathode materials.
If breakthroughs are achieved in the other two materials, I can revive them by working on the foundation of Kechuang Biotechnology. My focus is on optimizing cathode materials.
If it's a cathode material, then send it directly.
Luo Shu had a vague premonition that Murphy's Law was about to take effect.
But he still comforted me on WeChat, saying, "Probably not. You're not that unlucky. You can't expect all the bad things to happen to you."
Two days later, Luo Shu saw another message from his friend, sent a few hours earlier: "When are you free? Let's have a voice chat."
After get off work in the afternoon, Luo Shu sat in his Tesla and called the other party. Before he could even speak, he heard a wail coming from the other end of the phone:
"Sent!"
"Extra large shipment!"
"Science and Technology Innovation Biotechnology is making cathode materials, and what's most terrifying is that their technology allows for large-scale industrial production!"
"This isn't some lab-made product; it's terrifying! What kind of black technology is this, Kechuang Biotechnology?"
"It has at least twice the capacity of current lithium batteries on the market, and with proper optimization, it can be even higher."
"I have been hurt. Kechuang Bio has completely killed the field of lithium battery cathode materials. All my work is in vain until I get Kechuang Bio's design plan."
"Even if we get the design scheme for the cathode material of Kechuang Bio, it will be difficult to innovate. It is easy to go from 1 to 10, but Kechuang Bio directly raised it to 100. It is too difficult to go up from 100."
"I'm already preparing to switch from a PhD to a Master's program."
Luo Shu had been waiting for her friend to vent her frustrations, and she was finally relieved when she heard that her friend was planning to switch from a PhD program to a Master's program.
"Actually, I had already guessed that Kechuang Bio's lithium battery technology was an optimization of the cathode material, but I was afraid you couldn't handle it, so I didn't tell you."
The other party was shocked: "I got all this inside information from my supervisor through students at the battery factory. How did you know?"
Luo Shu explained, "Recently, almost all stocks in the A-share new energy sector have been rising, except for the leading company in cathode materials, which has already suffered two consecutive limit-down days. Doesn't this clearly show that Kechuang Bio's lithium battery is an innovation in cathode materials?"
"You're amazing. I only buy funds and ETFs and not individual stocks. I really didn't expect that."
"Sigh, it's so hard. I'm feeling lost even after graduating with a master's degree."
Luo Shu joked, "Actually, you can continue in the same direction as before, just change the title and summary."
The previous overview may have been about a new material that enabled a breakthrough in the energy density of lithium batteries.
You have almost the same content, but you change the expression to: Why this material doesn't work, and what are its shortcomings compared to the cathode material of Kechuang Biotechnology.
Originally, the focus was on strengths; now it's on weaknesses. The data is the same; only the conclusion has been reversed.
The other person was speechless: "Or do you think that Chun Chun has a serious illness? I guess if it were written, it could only be published in Aurora University's school magazine."
