The International Society for Battery Materials is a relatively new society, but its influence is not weak at all. In 1985 the company decided to take it a step further and form a new non-profit technology group, IBA, the International Society for Battery Materials.

Despite its young age, the status of the members of the committee, which is strong enough to support a society, is sufficient in the academic community of batteries and secondary batteries. For example, Professor Abel Engel of the Center for Fundamentals of Electrochemical Science in the United States, Professor Kyle Kaide of MIT Inorganic Chemistry, and Professor Nagayama of Tokyo University in Japan.

Although these members are not the top row in terms of battery materials, they can also be regarded as a top student, and there is no problem in terms of appeal. Coupled with ICM's 15 years of contacts in the battery industry, the three-day International Battery Materials Conference, held from April 28 to 30, 1985, was the first academic conference since the establishment of IBA.

Not only academics are interested in this conference, but many battery manufacturers and even downstream buyers have also come up with a smell of wind and rain.

Motorola, the supplier of the U.S. military radio station in World War II, and now the world's automotive electronics technology prince, openly announced earlier that it has mastered a lithium-ion secondary battery production and manufacturing technology. The application of its handheld mobile phone products launched last year will achieve revolutionary performance improvements.

If this lithium water battery really has the performance claimed by Motorola, and the safety is also recognized by the academic community, this is not only a technological leap forward for mobile phones, but a blessing for all mobile electronic devices.

The annual consumption of secondary batteries in the United States is as high as more than 1.2 billion US dollars, and the global market for secondary batteries is as high as more than 10 billion US dollars - this is the data before 1985, and the dollar has not yet depreciated significantly.

But of course. In the United States, people are always skeptical of commercial propaganda, unlike their Chinese contemporaries, who are not immune to advertising.

In order to gain market recognition as soon as possible, Motorola urgently needs to be recognized by the academic community. Coincidentally, the first meeting of IBA became the first stop for Motorola, which was eager to prove itself.

"Spacey!" Martha, with big wavy hair, drew a very delicate outfit today, stepping on high heels and wearing a smart women's suit, which was naturally the focus of a group of "nerds" in the venue.

Spacey's lab "developed" the technology for lithium batteries. And after preemptively registering the patent, it was acquired by Motorola at a fairly beautiful price. And as half the sky of the laboratory, Martha also made quite a lot of money in this acquisition.

This not only refers to the sudden plumpness of the money in her pocket, but also the fact that this small laboratory, which broke away from the University of Minnesota, has finally turned over and developed.

Today, Martha no longer has only two or three scientific research dogs, but a whole scientific research team, and there are more than ten scientific research dogs to assign.

However, in the IBA venue today, she ran up and down herself, waving a piece of paper in her hand. Some anxiously greeted the head of the laboratory, Spacey.

"Martha, you should learn to be calm, we are successful people now, we must be personable. Spacey is extremely beautiful today, wearing tens of thousands of dollars of custom Italian handmade suits, and the unreachable industry scholars in the past also greeted him with smiles, and Motorola has also booked the opening ceremony speech for him today, which shows that he Spacey is already the first one percent of the "big man" in the first three rows of the battery industry.

A big guy has to look like a big guy. How can there be such unseemly behavior again?

Perhaps, after the end of this meeting. Should she be enrolled in a training course in British etiquette?

However, before Spacey could think of someone he knew who had such a relationship, Martha had already run up to him and shoved a piece of paper into his hand.

"Chinese, Chinese are also coming!"

"What Chinese?" Spacey was stunned by Martha's movements and asked subconsciously.

"It's Chinese!" Martha opened the printer paper in Spacey's hand, pointed to a line of letters on it, and said, "Look." It is a scientific journal paper, the research and development institution of water lithium battery, Xinke Battery Research Institute. ”

"Huh?" Spacey looked grim, and quickly read the line of letters that Martha pointed out.

No matter how forgetful he is, the spelling of "xinke", a Chinese pronunciation, will never be mistaken. It's like a thief wants to step on a point. To preemptively register someone else's patent, it is at least necessary to have some understanding of the situation of the party being preemptively registered.

After all, the previous Spacey was just a small person, and if he accidentally kicked the iron plate and copied it on the head of a certain scholar, he really forgot how to write the dead word.

But when he searched through all the battery SCI journals he could find, but he had never seen this institution, let alone found the name of the author of this academic article, "wenhaihu", he naturally relaxed.

If it weren't for Motorola's cautiousness and finding Grumman's head through the relationship of the Nature Journal, he would have known that Hu Wenhai was actually an expert in medicinal chemistry.

As for Hu Wenhai's Chinese political influence in the deal with Grumman, Spacey didn't care much. American academia is the center of the world, and in the world of the eighties, China was not even as well-known in science as Israel.

With no reputation in the academic community and no knowledge of applying for a patent in the United States, Spacey naturally has no worries about plagiarism.

"The Chinese are coming, what does it matter. Spacey scoffed at this and hummed: "Our experiment is to perfect their technology, the Chinese just put forward the idea of water lithium battery, I realized this idea, the name of the patent applicant is me, Spacey, is not a new subject." ”

Spacey has long been psychologically constructed, people are always inclined to forgive themselves, and can easily find justification for their actions, which is a natural mechanism of human psychological self-protection.

Americans who can be "cautious and independent" may not have been born yet. Spacey is not a saint, of course, he will not be entangled in the question of whether to plagiarize for too long, and soon found a reason for himself to "improve the technology", which became an excuse for him to enjoy the glory brought by the water lithium battery technology.

However, this confidence is built on the beach after all, and many people in the industry also know that the reason why Spacey was able to soar was not because of his strong academic ability, but because he was relatively fast.

But in any case, Spacey is American, and "Xinke" and "Wenhaihu" are Chinese. From the chair where the ass sits, naturally only complained that his hands were not fast enough, and did not accuse Spacey of immorality.

Morality was completely sold by Americans as early as the nineteenth century.

"Okay. Martha shrugged, and the owner of the lab was Spacey instead of her: "I'm just informing you, don't forget the opening speech, you'd better be careful that the Chinese take advantage of the opportunity when the time comes." ”

Spacey's face was a little ugly, and he obviously thought of the question session after the opening speech, which is a program that is bound to be in the academic conference.

As a real researcher of water lithium battery technology, will the Chinese ask him in the question session? This is meaningless to Motorola or water lithium battery patent ownership, but for Spacey personally, it is a disaster.

Being asked down by a Chinese will make him a laughing stock in the American academic community, and will make him completely unable to mix in the United States!

"We asked the conference to change the opening speakers...... No, let's cancel the question session?" Spacey swallowed.

Martha looked at him with a "Are you an idiot" look, shook her head, and said, "It's impossible, if you change the speaker or cancel the question session...... Spacey you should know that this will make you an even bigger laughing stock. ”

"Oh, look at that!" Martha suddenly pointed behind Spacey and said in surprise, "Those Asians are the Chinese delegation, right?"

Spacey hurriedly turned around, just in time to see a group of yellow people walking into the door of the Javits Convention Center in New York. As for why he could guess that the group was Chinese, the reason was simple - because they were in line.

The Chinese delegation, young and old, lined up in two columns, dressed neatly in navy blue suits, and walked through the gate in an orderly manner. A guy who is a bit like a tour guide can even make this group of people line up in the spacious lobby, which is unbelievable to Americans.

There is one country in the whole venue, and there is no SEI except for the Chinese delegation.

So much so that after seeing this scene, Spacey immediately determined that this was the Chinese delegation, and the tension in his heart was even relieved because of this scene.

Well, the bureaucrats have once again made meritorious contributions.

"I just don't know which of these people will be wenhaihu?" Martha looked at the dozen or so people in the Chinese delegation, thoughtful. Papers in scientific journals are about lithium water, not about the authors. Hu Wenhai is not well-known in academic circles, and most foreigners do not know what he looks like.

"Probably one of those old men. Spacey subconsciously replied: "To develop the technology of lithium water battery, there should be a deep accumulation of battery materials." ”

"Hmm-" Spacey's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought to himself, "Martha, I have an idea, let's ...... it like this" (to be continued.)
