"Professor Wu, you're here!!"
"Good morning, Professor Wu!"
As Wu Tong walked towards the laboratory, the experimenters he met along the way greeted him respectfully one by one. After several days of settling in, the holiday did not affect the spread of the news. Now, the news that Wu Tong was specially appointed as a full professor by Peking University has become widely known to everyone.
A mixture of shock and indifference filled them. Seeing Wu Tong now, they naturally switched to formal honorifics. They had imagined being called Professor Wu so many times before, and now that it was a reality, they felt no discomfort at all.
Those who had signed confidentiality agreements and conducted experiments with Wu Tong felt that it was natural. The school had finally responded effectively! Wu Tong's promotion to professor meant they no longer had to be ashamed to study alongside such a genius!
Even though Wu Tong, who was much younger than them, had already graduated and had a formal professional title, they still looked bad. But, what was that called? They were not in the same league, so let them just cover their ears and steal the bell for a while.
If one is one point better than ordinary people, they will envy him; if one is ten points better than ordinary people, they will admire him. Then, if one is as far better than ordinary people as Wu Tong, then there is a world of difference between gods and humans. They do not compare themselves with gods!
"Professor Wu, what do you need me to do?" Ruan Chengxu followed suit, but compared to the others, as a junior brother in the same school, his tone was more joking.
But he had to hurry up.
When they first met, his junior sister was a freshman and he was a sophomore in his doctoral program. Now, his thesis is almost finished, but his junior sister has already graduated before him. Even though he knows that he can't compare to a genius like his junior sister, the gap is still stark and heartbreaking.
"Brother Xu, you're teasing me too!" Wu Tong laughed. "Help me make some molecular materials, Brother Xu!"
Wu Tong simply changed the subject. After the people around her were initially surprised by her appointment, they would eventually return to their normal state.
"Okay, Wu Tong, you arrange it!" A teasing was enough. If it were really Professor Wu, it would be a matter of estrangement between fellow students. Ruan Chengxu was still very reliable.
To be honest, the junior sister's exclusive research institute has already begun construction. As her senior brother, he should quickly perform well and then try his best to join the junior sister's research institute. It would be foolish of him not to seize the opportunity of such a ready-made golden backer.
"What materials are you going to synthesize? What preparations are needed?" Ruan Chengxu asked carefully, doing the necessary preparations for an assistant. This wasn't flattery, but the necessary look to follow the boss.
People who need to be poked before they can move will find it difficult to make a name for themselves in the laboratory unless they are top talents like Wu Tong.
"A special silicide, starting from silicon monoxide, we first synthesize all the existing silicon oxides!" Wu Tong was not vague and gave the direction very clearly.
Of the four research directions, Wu Tong decided to first complete the ultrafiltration purification membrane, for which she already had a foundation. This was an idea she had long considered, but it unexpectedly resonated with the direction of her PL-15 fuel derivation, leading to the development of a specialized silicon oxide membrane, which preceded the development of N18 and N24.
Wu Tong had a quick study early in the morning and concluded that the direction for ultrafiltration membranes would continue to be based on the previously developed silicide and graphene films. This time, Wu Tong prepared silicon oxide not just oriented silicon hexaoxide, but multiple silicides.
These were all basic materials. With the help of Ruan Chengxu, who was proficient in basic skills, Wu Tong made rapid progress. In one morning, a series of preparation processes were completed, and Wu Tong obtained some silicon oxide materials.
After the preparation was completed and lunch was had, Wu Tong continued the experimental process. She performed this step personally, observing the silicon oxide molecules one by one under a transmission electron microscope.
While observing, Wu Tong was making deduction records. In his mind, his thoughts were running at high speed, and the accumulated knowledge turned into a booster, allowing Wu Tong to determine the direction of progress and improve step by step.
In the end, Wu Tong spent three days selecting seven silicas connected together and superimposed them with a special co-bonding effect, and finally obtained a new molecular material.
Wu Tong called it high-density silicon heptoxide. He deposited it on the prepared graphene film, cut off the excess irregular parts of the edge deposition, and prepared a high-density silicon heptoxide film.
According to Wu Tong's deduction, this high-density silica has a powerful filtering effect and is energy-efficient and incompatible with foreign elements. In principle, it only allows water molecules to pass through. It can be called a high-energy water molecule filter and is an ultrafiltration purification membrane that truly meets her expectations.
"It worked already?" Ruan Chengxu surveyed the ultrafiltration membrane before him, which shone like a black diamond in his eyes, his voice rising with a hint of disbelief. Even though this wasn't his first time collaborating on an experiment with Wu Tong, he was still struck by the precision and speed of Wu Tong's experiment.
Without Wu Tong's experiments, it would basically be trial and error, trial and error, failure, then choosing a direction, and failing again. If one got lucky within a few hundred times and found a feasible direction, everyone would thank God and hold a celebration party.
But following Wu Tong's experiments, they prepared the product according to Wu Tong's instructions. Wu Tong deduced the next step, and he continued synthesizing it, following his instructions. Step by step, like a precise assembly line, the experimental results were successfully achieved. Such smoothness and precision made them almost envious and tearful.
"It was only partially successful!" Wu Tong installed the successfully prepared ultrafiltration membrane on the water purification instrument she had temporarily modified, turned on the switch, turned on the power and water, and soon, a 500 ml cup of transparent water liquid appeared in the transparent sub-storage container, and a little dirty solution was obtained in another storage container.
"Conduct sample testing!" This step was needed to confirm the success of the ultrafiltration oxide membrane. Soon, the sample test results came back.
Ruan Chengxu's eyes were filled with excitement. "Wu Tong, the transparent liquid sample number one is confirmed to be pure water, which can basically be identified as pure water. The turbid solution number two contains trace amounts of bacteria, trace amounts of heavy metals such as mercury, arsenic, lead, and cadmium, as well as trace amounts of various organic and inorganic substances!"
After seeing the test results of the mixed solution, even though he knew the amount was extremely small, Ruan Chengxu still felt that he would not want to drink natural drinking water for a few days. Alternatively, he could learn from Wu Tong and assemble an ultrafiltration water purifier to filter his own drinking water.
As for long-term use, it is not good to use it purely, you can just add beneficial trace elements by yourself.
They deal with materials and basic chemistry, so they know the appropriate ratios of various trace elements beneficial to the human body and water! It doesn't matter if you don't know, just do a few more experiments.
