But then again, he has won both the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize. It would be unreasonable not to award him the National Science Award.

...

In this way, Xu Chuan stayed temporarily.

The National Science and Technology Awards Conference started on December 25th this year, and it is already December 18th, with one week left.

Xu Chuan did not waste this time either.

Although he can't go back to Jinling, he can ask people from the Nuclear Energy Research Institute and the Sichuan-Hai Materials Research Institute to come over.

After receiving his call, Han Jin and Fan Pengyue rushed over quickly with some information.

In fact, there was nothing about research and development. When he left to receive the award, both projects had already entered the initial stage of research and completion.

What Xu Chuan wanted to see was just the final test report on the research and development materials for the two projects.

Of course, there are also some patent applications.

This cannot be forgotten either.

Especially for the materials industry, it does not mean that if you develop a new material, this material will definitely be yours.

Applying for a material patent is a very important matter, and there are many bloody incidents involving patents in the materials industry every year.

Various disputes between professors and students, contract disputes between bosses and experimental R&D personnel, etc. are very common in the materials industry.

Without him, a good new material is of great value.

It can easily amount to millions or tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions or billions. In the face of such interests, it is normal for friendship and commitments to be torn up.

...

In the room of the Beihai Hotel, Xu Chuan flipped through the information sent by the two project leaders.

Whether it is the report on the test structure of 'crystalline erbium zirconate material' and 'lead-free nanocomposite reconstructed protective material' in the Institute of Nuclear Energy, or the 'electrolyte' and 'artificial sei film' in the Chuanhai Institute of Materials

The materials are all quite excellent.

These materials can already be regarded as the results of the first phase.

In terms of patents, applications for electrolytes and artificial SEI films are already in progress.

As for the 'crystalline erbium zirconate material' and 'lead-free nanocomposite reconstruction protective material' of the Institute of Nuclear Energy, domestic patents are granted casually. If they are applied abroad, whether they will apply for them depends on the above.

After all, the uses of these two materials are somewhat sensitive, and many things in the nuclear energy field will not be made public.

After all, if you apply for a patent, even if you don't dare to apply for all of it, you will still disclose some technical solutions, beneficial effects and other things.

These things often provide some inspiration to hostile countries or competitors, prompting them to develop similar things.

Of course, there are still many benefits to applying for a patent.

According to international patent laws, as long as the patent is applied for, it enjoys protection.

For example, common drugs, like Glenin in the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine," are actually protected internationally.

The development and production of patented drugs are subject to intellectual property protection and cannot be copied.

If you want to produce the drug, you must purchase the production rights from the patent party or wait until the patent period expires.

This kind of international convention is still guaranteed in most countries. Except for a few countries, such as a certain third brother, the patent protection rights of drugs are a joke in them.

For Xu Chuan, if the patent rights for electrolyte and artificial SEI film are granted, he can earn billions per year just by licensing these two achievements.

For him, this money can probably achieve financial freedom in the early stages of his scientific research career.

As for the middle and later stages, let’s figure it out later.

Nothing costs more money than conducting scientific research.
