Orion Crest, Series_1

Chapter 183: Letting yourself go

　　On the other hand, far away in New York State, at the Binghamton Materials Institute.

　　In a soundproofed conference room, Professor Haley, who had taken an early break from the organic symposium, was standing with his assistant and Barnett and other representatives from the corporate side, gathered around an open laptop computer.

　　And the image displayed in the computer was the caged carbon molecule ......

　　"Looks like I was right!" His research results are really more than just the two papers published in Science!"

　　Staring at those data and images in the computer screen, the mumbling Professor Haley's tone was filled with excitement and thrill.

　　If scientific research was compared to an exam, then what was displayed in front of him was almost equivalent to the answer to the last big question!

　　Now, he only need to be ahead of everyone, using the experimental method to fill in the "solution process"......

　　He was the director of the Institute, and as long as Mobil Chemical could afford it, he could even motivate the entire Institute's researchers to work on his project.

　　With the volume of Binghamton Materials Research Institute, it is still very easy to surpass small and medium-sized research institutes like the Sarote Institute in terms of scientific research labour resources.

　　Standing next to Professor Haley, his assistant had the same shocked expression on his face, murmuring in an astonished tone, ''Unbelievable ...... mathematical methods are still capable of calculating the spatial structure of such large molecules? And to this degree of accuracy, it's unheard of!"

　　Modelling through mathematical methods and calculating and analysing through supercomputing, this kind of simulation experiment based on computer technology exists. In fact, more than 80% of the papers produced by "Anton", the nuclear weapon of the chemical world, were like this.

　　However, even "Anton" could not have achieved such a level of simulation.

　　Professor Haley looked serious, although he did not answer the question, the expression on his face had already exposed his inner shock.

　　As the saying goes, existence is reasonable.

　　Even though he didn't want to believe it, the facts were now in front of him.

　　On the issue of inhibiting the diffusion of polysulfide compounds into the electrolyte, the HCS-1 material had already shown a notable feature.

　　Having been staring at the computer screen, Barnett frowned slightly and asked out loud, "See anything?"

　　Who this historic honour belonged to, as an entrepreneur, he didn't care, he only cared about the most fundamental patent.

　　In order to headhunt these five experimental assistants from Orion, ExxonMobil had also spent a certain amount of money.

　　Although this one or two million dollars for Mobil Chemical is nothing, but it also depends on where the money is spent, spent worth it or not.

　　After hearing Barnett' enquiry, Professor Haley's mouth curled into a confident smile.

　　"It's a caged carbon molecular model, and the HCS-1 material exists morphologically similar to it, except that it's missing a few key π-bonds, large π-bonds, and carbon atoms. That HCS-1 material, according to my speculation, is most likely a by-product of their search for this caged carbon molecule."
