Chapter 146: The feeling of being rich

　　"A cage structure that does not present translational symmetry can be disassembled into a tubular structure and a translationally symmetric cage structure, where the cage structure has lh-point group symmetry, and the surface of the tubular structure contains two Stone-wales topological defects."

　　"The overlap of the π and π* energy levels due to the introduction of a Stone-wales topological defect results in the opening of band gaps of 0.06 eV and 0.04 eV, respectively, on their surfaces, and in this way, it is explained ...... "

　　"That is to say, the handling properties of the carbon nanorods are enhanced because of the introduction of carbon nanotubes."

　　"I'm a genius!"

　　Along the way, Orion mouthed the words with an excited gleam in his eye.

　　Students and even professors who ran into him in the corridors and staircases subconsciously moved out of the way.

　　It wasn't that they bumped into him, but they were worried about interrupting the big man's train of thought.

　　For the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, this was something that happened from time to time, who hadn't got carried away with excitement because of a sudden inspiration?

　　Because they are the same kind of people, they understand this feeling better than anyone else ......

　　......

　　After returning home, Orion locked himself in the shed and began a new round of retreat.

　　Splitting the asymmetrical spherical structure into a cylinder and a symmetrical spherical structure, although Vera didn't solve this problem, but her idea did inspire Orion quite a lot.

　　If this train of thought is feasible, the problem of preparing such carbon nanosphere in the laboratory can also be solved.

　　Because both carbon nanotubes and fullerene materials can be prepared by means of existing technology, and the difficulty lies in how to reconstitute the chemical bonds, and synthesise two macromolecules, which are structurally very different, into one molecule with a larger spatial volume and a more complex structure.

　　A week passed in this way.

　　Orion spent almost all the time of the day, except for eating and sleeping, on constructing this mathematical model.

　　Finally, on the second Monday after New Year's Day, he completed the initial building of this mathematical model.

　　"All that's left is to refine this mathematical model, and then buy a research team to verify these possibilities through repeated experiments."

　　Stretching out and leaning back in his chair, Orion looked at the results of this week's research, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile.

　　The feeling of being rich was definitely different.

　　In the past, if he wanted to do any experiment, he had to borrow other people's equipment to do experiments, but now, he didn't even need to do it by himself, he just bought some equipments and requested a few PHDs to do it for him.

　　Of course, Orion has other options if he wants to save money. For example, he could write these mathematical models in a paper and publish it in advance, so that other research teams could do the work for him.

　　It is believed that with the results he has achieved in computational materials science, there should be many research teams interested in his new paper and pay out of their own pockets to test these results for him.
