Harrison Clark grew impatient, “What’s there to talk about? I’ve already written it down, so it’s work I’ve completed. I need to let go of it and look forward. How much time do we have in our lives that can never be used up? Dwelling in past achievements only leads to decay and a repulsive stench.”
“But you just wrote this book the day before yesterday! How can it be a past achievement?”
“So what? Is ten years ago the past, but not the day before yesterday? The moment I put down my pen, it became the past.”
Harrison Clark’s soul-wrenching question struck Rainer like a thunderbolt.
It was as if auditory revelations were pouring down upon him.
Rainer suddenly realized the truth, then looked at Harrison Clark with an almost fanatical admiration.
He thought to himself that perhaps it was this superhuman demeanor and indescribable driving force that had allowed Harrison Clark to achieve such heights.
He was such a complex person.
He remained calm; neither others’ admiration and respect, nor possible misunderstandings could disturb him.
!!..
Yet, he was also quite mad.
Beneath his seemingly gentle appearance, there lay an indescribable obsession, which allowed him to take the concept of knowing when to let go to the extreme.
He was a man of outstanding talent but also pure simplicity.
His eyes were always focused on the far beyond that others could not see.
He shouldn’t have talked to him about the outside world’s evaluation of him, just as his old self would have disliked hearing his subordinates praise him for being a genius scientist in the office.
Harrison Clark took Rainer to his office.
This time, Harrison Clark carefully explained the eight new materials and the theoretical core of the ultra-durable, ultra-high conversion rate new type of solar panels using the PPT as a reference.
It was always easy and enjoyable to discuss things with intelligent people. Harrison Clark taught in a cramming manner, delving into the molecular structures and specific synthesis ratios of the eight materials.
Harrison Clark told Rainer the specific properties of these materials, and from the perspective of the three fundamental interactions, he carefully analyzed the principles for Rainer.
To put it simply, it could be understood like this:
What atoms made up these materials, and how were they arranged?
How did atoms form molecules, and then large molecules?
And then how molecules or macromolecules formed substances through coupling and various other forces.
How did each force come about, what were its properties, how did electrons transition during energy level changes, and how much energy was absorbed or released during each jump?
Where did the energy come from, and where did it go?
In the process of atoms ultimately forming substances, how did the strengths of the various chemical bonds and interactions at each stage and level come into play?
Why did the resulting substances have these particular characteristics, and what were the underlying physical and chemical theories that determined these characteristics?
Similarly, regarding the technical principles of solar panels, he explained almost to the same extent.
Rainer was certain to understand and know that the conclusive statements given by Harrison Clark were correct.
Rainer listened attentively, not interrupting Harrison Clark’s train of thought with questions.
Only after Harrison Clark declared the class was over at three in the morning, did Rainer ask, “So your plan is to turn these theoretical results into reality?”
Harrison Clark nodded, “Yes. Rainer, you are experienced in applied physics, so you must know how difficult it is to complete this process of transformation. That’s why I’m formally inviting you to help me develop the mass production technologies for these nine revolutionary products.”
Rainer pondered deeply.
He was tempted.
His intuition told him that although each product Harrison Clark proposed seemed like science fiction, like the results in the Madman’s Conjecture Collection, these new materials and technologies that still only existed in theory were very likely to be real.
Rainer’s own knowledge was enough to support his understanding of each product mentioned by Harrison Clark and their underlying principles.
Some content was slightly beyond the scope but still built on the foundation of existing knowledge, making it easy to deduce.
Whenever Rainer understood something, he would exclaim in amazement, realizing that things could be done in such different ways…
And that the final results could be so extraordinary!
Rainer took a deep breath and asked, “So your plan is to cooperate with Whale Group, establish a research institute, and have me as your assistant? That’s not out of the question, as long as I finish up in Boston…”
“No. You’re not my assistant; you’re the R&D chief. My work here is done.”
Harrison Clark pointed to a line of text on the PPT.
Written on it were the elements, such as gold, silver, silicon, strontium disilicide, and carbon, that made up room-temperature superconducting metal, as well as their specific formulas.
“I give you these, and you turn them into reality.”
Rainer was shocked, “What about you?”
Harrison Clark replied, “I have other arrangements. But don’t worry about not being able to succeed on your own, because some of these things were originally… In any case, if you encounter a critical point that’s difficult to breakthrough during the R&D process, come to find me, and I’ll help you overcome the obstacles.”
Among the nine new technologies, the most challenging were the room-temperature superconducting metal and solar panels.
However, Rainer himself was going to break through these two fields in the following decades.
Now, with Harrison Clark as a guide, there was no room for failure.
After considering for five more minutes, Rainer decided to accept Harrison Clark’s invitation..
