Meng Xiaobai looked at the person in charge in front of him and was quite sympathetic. The head of the battery research team is called Zhuo Qingshan, a professor of energy chemistry recruited by Deep Space Science and Technology from a university, and is 57 years old this year.

The entire team was created by Zhuo Qingshan, and two of them were still his students. In order to develop a new type of battery, Zhuo Qingshan spent a lot of effort, but it was almost far from Meng Xiaobai's request, which made Zhuo Qingshan can't help but complain.

"Professor Zhuo, don't worry, we have other methods. Meng Xiaobai comforted.

Zhuo Qingshan said helplessly: "Mr. Meng, you still don't understand what I mean. I mean, if you want a lithium battery with normal performance on the market, I believe our team can develop it in a year or two. ”

But your request reads...... The battery life is three to five times higher than the best mobile phone battery out there......! It's not scientific!"

"Why is it not scientific?" Meng Xiaobai asked.

Zhuo Qingshan explained: "If you want to increase the battery life, the energy storage capacity of the battery must be increased. For example, in the case of mobile phone batteries, we need to increase the energy storage capacity, either by increasing the volume or by increasing the energy density. ”

"Can this volume be added?" Zhuo Qingshan asked himself, "Can't add it, because everyone is making ultra-thin mobile phones, and we can't make a big brother." ”

"What about the energy density?" he continued, "and the current lithium battery has almost maximized the energy density. If the energy density is forcibly increased, the risk of explosion is increased, and there has been a precedent before. ”

"That's why we have to make new batteries, which can't be limited to traditional lithium batteries. Meng Xiaobai said.

Zhuo Qingshan was speechless, "That's what I said, but my ugly words are in front." The research on new types of batteries is not something that can be achieved in one or two years or even three or five years. It has been studied internationally for decades, and there has been no major breakthrough. So, don't say that our team isn't working. ”

"Haha, Professor Zhuo, don't worry. I'm ready. Meng Xiaobai said with a smile.

"What preparations?" Zhuo Qingshan wondered.

"Yes, we also have a technical expert on our team. He is abroad and it is not convenient for him to come to Huaxia at present, but he has a very high level of research on new batteries. I've hired him and he'll share his research results with us. Meng Xiaobai said.

"Who?" Zhuo Qingshan was even more puzzled, who else did Deep Space Technology invite?

"Well, his name is Kaneki. Meng Xiaobai said.

"Jin Mu, what a strange name, it sounds like a Chinese person!" Zhuo Qingshan frowned slightly, "In this field, I don't remember that there is such a number one person?"

In the field of battery research, those famous professors and scholars, Zhuo Qingshan, even if they haven't seen it, have all heard of the name, but he really hasn't heard of this.

"Actually, it's an alien!" Meng Xiaobai heard Xiao Maruki whispering.

Jin Mu is the new identity of the iron plate. In order to allow him to join the research institute smoothly, Meng Xiaobai spent a lot of effort to create a new identity for him.

His new name is Jin Mu, and he is a Chinese from a small foreign country, who studied at a university abroad, and now his name is unknown, but his academic attainments are extremely high.

Such an identity, even if someone tries to check it, they can't find any problems. Because that country does not have a strict identity management system, it is almost impossible to find out.

The only pity is that Meng Xiaobai has not yet found a way to make "Jinmu" appear reasonably, although it can disguise itself as various motor vehicles, it cannot disguise itself as a human.

So Meng Xiaobai could only ask Xiao Maruko to design a human image for him, so that others could connect to him through the Internet.

"Kaneki really doesn't have much fame right now. Meng Xiaobai said simply, "But this person is very knowledgeable. His research results are also very, very valuable. You'll soon know that. I can give you his contact information right now, and you can video communicate. ”

"Is it?" Zhuo Qingshan will be suspicious, if there is such a powerful person, then he should have been famous a long time ago, this young Mr. Meng, should not be fooled by some foreign liar, right?

In order to verify his idea, Zhuo Qingshan added Jin Mu's contact information in front of him and applied for a video call.

Soon, the video was connected, and on the screen, the image of an old man who was nearly seventy years old appeared. He has the characteristics of a Chinese person who can be easily distinguished, but he also has the characteristics of a foreigner in his face, and it can be seen that he is indeed a Chinese of mixed ancestry.

This is the new image of the iron plate, in order to make him more credible, Meng Xiaobai set him to be older, so that his knowledge can be taken for granted.

And his voice settings have also been deserved, from a rough metallic voice to an old man's voice in vicissitudes, Mandarin is not very standard, mixed with English accent.

"Are you Professor Kaneki? I am Zhuo Qingshan, the leader of the new battery research team of Deep Space Technology. I'm studying energy chemistry. Zhuo Qingshan took the initiative to say hello.

"Hello, I'm Kaneki, Professor Zhuo, it's a pleasure to meet you. And President Meng Xiaobai next to him, hello. Kaneki said in "crappy" Chinese.

Zhuo Qingshan was curious: "Do you know Chinese?"

Jin Mu nodded and said, "My parents are both Chinese, and they taught me Mandarin when I was very young. I also went to Huaxia when I was younger, but now I am sick and can't go far. ”

"I see. Zhuo Qingshan nodded, and he continued to ask: "I heard that you have research on new batteries, I am curious, what do you think about this aspect?"

There was a short delay in the video screen, as if the other party's signal was not good, but in fact, this was all a trick manipulated by Maruko.

After a pause, Jin Mu said: "Of course, I have agreed to Mr. Meng's request, and I will share my research with you." ”

"After years of research, I believe that the current lithium battery cannot meet the needs of continuous use of electronic products. They have reached the upper limit of the energy density of the theory, and if they want to make a change, they must adopt a new theory. ”

Zhuo Qingshan became serious and asked, "What new theory?"

"Professor Zhuo should know that Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) once came up with the idea of a lithium-air battery," Kaneki said.

"Of course, we know that only the organic electrolyte is used at the negative electrode of the battery, and the air electrode at the positive electrode is water-based, and the two electrodes are separated by a solid electrolyte, and since the solid electrolyte only passes through lithium ions, the discharge reaction can be carried out without hindrance. ”

"Theoretically, its discharge capacity can reach ten times that of today's lithium batteries, but until now, research teams in various countries have not found suitable electrode materials and electrolytes, and there are various problems, so that this kind of battery cannot be commercially used at all. When it came to his own field, Zhuo Qingshan opened his mouth and came.
