On the way back, Foster was in the car, while thinking about Ling Shizhe popularizing the knowledge of batteries, and on the other hand, he said that the battery factory was the direction of development; Foster intends to lay the foundation for the early production of carbon batteries in Southeast Asia and other developing countries, and so on after the successful development of mercury-free alkaline batteries, the initial price can be set a little higher, and so on the cost to recover the price of large-scale distribution, relying on the number to win and take the route of small profits and quick turnover, and at the same time set up a battery laboratory to develop rechargeable batteries, in addition to the development of special batteries.

"What about gel batteries, don't you develop?" Ling Shizhe asked.

"Gel batteries? How did you come up with this? Boss, gel batteries don't have much commercial value at all, and no company is looking at it now. Foster asked, surprised.

Seeing Foster's doubts, Ling Shizhe was also inexplicable, how could he not study it, weren't the batteries on the market before he crossed over all gel batteries? Why isn't it being taken seriously now? Ling Shizhe was also confused.

Seeing Ling Shizhe's puzzled expression, Foster explained: "Boss, gel batteries belong to a development classification of lead-acid batteries, and the simplest way is to add gelling agents to sulfuric acid to make sulfuric acid electro-hydraulic into a colloidal state, which is a gel battery, which is also known as a low-maintenance valve-regulated battery; It was "invented" in 1957 by the German company Sunshine. The gelling agent used in gel batteries is silica sol, but it has a very big disadvantage that silica sol will seal the micropores of the PVC separator, and the barrier resistance will increase, resulting in the separator in the battery losing its conductivity and making the battery fail; BOSS gel battery has no future, since the birth of gel battery, it has been plagued by these problems, people have tried many different materials of gelling agent results are not good, until it is found that the most electrolyte with fumed silica to solve this problem. ”

"Since the problem is solved, then the gel battery should be used on a large scale, it is better than the ordinary lead-acid battery in terms of safety, power storage, discharge performance and service life, etc., it should be popularized, why is there no battery company to produce?" Ling Shizhe was even more confused, could it be that history has changed since he was reborn, and he inadvertently changed history?

After thinking about it, Ling Shizhe denied this idea, the time he traveled over? It's 1960s, even if I change history, it should be after I cross over, such as CPU, the history is the 70s by the invention of IL company C4004 processor is the world's first CPU. But after he crossed over, Intel was preemptively registered by me, and there was no historical Intel company; The founders, who took the name of an international semiconductor company, have not launched the C4004 processor until now, and have been engaged in the production of memory chips. This memory chip is still the memory chip technology bought from Ambrera, and he has to pay a patent fee for each chip produced; The invention of CPU fell on his head Ling Shizhe, which changed history.

How can it be possible to travel through previous histories to change? Gel batteries were invented at that time? Just now, Foster had already said that the German "Sunshine" company was in 1957, which is the same as history, which shows that before Ling Shizhe traveled here, history or that history has not been changed. But why is gel battery not taken seriously now? In later generations, as long as a little understanding of the battery people know that the gel battery is much superior to the previous lead-acid battery in all aspects, especially for long-term storage has its unique advantages, there is no reason for those battery companies not to pay attention to it, why not pay attention to it now?

Ling Shizhe looked at Foster to give him an answer, Foster did not disappoint him, and continued to explain: "Although fumed silica solves the problem of battery barrier resistance, the colloidal battery produced is extremely unstable, the capacity and high temperature resistance are not good at all, thermal runaway often occurs, there are a lot of messy things, and there is even a serious injury to the battery explosion, although there were no deaths that time, but there are strong corrosive sulfuric acid in it, not to mention the large-scale burns and disfigurement; Since then, people don't believe in gel batteries anymore, and battery manufacturers naturally don't pay attention to it and stop researching gel batteries. There are also some people who do not believe in this evil and continue to study gel batteries, but the results are all ...... Boom! Foster made an explosive gesture to Ling Shizhe.

"Later, people began to look for gelling agents with other alternative materials, but they were unsuccessful, and until today, no one has studied gel batteries anymore, and 10 people have died for this damn gel battery, and no one has studied it anymore."

Ling Shizhe didn't know that there was such a history in history, he always thought that after the birth of gel batteries, even if they did not occupy the market immediately, they should appear on the market, but he didn't expect that now gel batteries have become a thing that everyone is afraid of, how far away everyone is.

"Can you buy a patent?" Ling Shizhe asked.

"What's the boss, you want to take over? No, boss, that's not a good idea, it's very dangerous, and you'd better not touch it! ”

"Foster, you just do what I say, buy this patent, and I have a way to solve the problem of unstable thermal runaway." After Ling Shizhe finished speaking, he leaned back and raised his spirit, not saying anything.

At this time, he was very calm on the surface, but he had already set off a turbulent nuclear wave in his heart, this is not the history he knows, it is definitely not the history he knows, history may have released an inflection point somewhere, which may be unfavorable to the future, it may make him lose the advantage of rebirth, he doesn't know what has been released in the history of this era, but he only knows that the German Sunshine Company has made great progress after inventing the gel battery, and the gel battery can be seen everywhere in later generations, There is no release at all in the situation that Foster said, let alone a dead person, unless it is a fake and shoddy; In that case, I'll solve this problem. Anyway, since I was reborn, I have changed enough history, and I don't care about this one, whether it is changed because of me or not, he has to take down the gel battery technology, which is obviously a blessing given to him by God; Heaven and receiving it without taking it is the way to self-destruction, and this truth is still understood.

Now Ling Shizhe is very frightened in his heart, he doesn't know if the change in the history of the gel battery is just a microcosm, the whole world has changed, or is it just an accidental part? If it's just a small change in the part, it's nothing, I'm afraid I'm afraid that I'll wear an inexplicable reverse time and space, and then he will really be blind.

Anxious, he didn't listen to what Foster said later, and after returning to the company, he asked his assistant to collect the newspapers and global history of the past ten years in history and send them to his office, locking himself in the office and flipping through historical newspapers and various history books, I don't know how long it took Ling Shizhe to breathe a sigh of relief, the entire history has not changed, and the gel battery is just an accident.

There was an aunt's cry in his stomach, Ling Shizhe raised his hand to look at his watch, it turned out that it was past nine o'clock in the evening, no wonder his stomach was rumbling with hunger.

I packed up my things and went home after dinner, and went to bed early.

The next morning, I came to the company again and found out the relevant information about alkaline batteries and gel batteries from my safe.

After looking at it, he decided to redesign the gel battery, first of all, he decided to use fumed silica as the gelling agent for the battery, which is a high-purity white odorless nano-scale powder material, which has the functions of thickening, anti-caking, controlling the rheology and thixotropy of the system, etc., in addition to the traditional application, it has been widely used in the gel battery in later generations; In the production process, the colloidal electrolyte is generated by a certain proportion of fumed silica and a certain concentration of sulfuric acid solution, which is the core of the colloidal battery.

This is the most economical and best material that has been proven by later generations, there is no need to dispute, but I don't know if the commercial production of fumed silica has been realized in this era, and the purity is not known.

The second is the cathode and anode materials, and the cathode materials he designed are lead-zinc multi-alloy with tubular structure design. The anode material is a lead-calcium-tin antimony-free multi-alloy with a radial design of the center-centered tab and vertical ribs. PVC--ISO2 is the insulating material separator between the positive and negative electrodes; The battery safety valve uses a cap type safety valve or an umbrella type low-pressure sensitive safety valve; In the end, the safety valve is selected according to the application. As for the battery tray and battery cover, just use ABS material.

The scientific name of alkaline battery is alkalinezinc-manganesebattery (alkaline zinc-manganese battery), which is a galvanic battery with zinc as the negative electrode, manganese dioxide as the positive electrode, and potassium hydroxide solution as the electrolyte. Abbreviated as alkaline manganese battery, commonly known as alkaline battery.

Generally, there are two types of cylindrical and button types that people see in their daily lives, in addition to square and flat types.

The casing of the cylindrical cell is a nickel-plated steel shell with a cathode cap, which doubles as a cathode collector. In close contact with it inside the shell is a cathode ring (cathode) made of electrolytic dioxide, graphite and carbon black pressing. The middle is filled with a zinc paste made of zinc powder and gel lye, i.e. anode glue (anode), which has a brass current collector inserted into it. The positive and negative electrodes are isolated by alkali-resistant isolation tubes. The negative current collector is welded to the negative cap and inserted into the plastic seal. This assembly is inserted into the steel shell and curled and sealed, and the steel shell is wrapped with a heat shrinkable film trademark to become the alkaline battery that people see on the market.

After transcribing the process ideas and technical points one by one, Ling Shizhe breathed a big breath: It's finally done, it's not easy, look at the time it took a day; Forget it, let's do it, the relevant ideas and technical points have been written, and the specific ones are handed over to those R&D personnel to do, what do you always want those researchers to do?

After sorting out the information one by one, including lithium thionyl chloride and alkaline button batteries, all the information was handed over to Foster, Ling Shizhe walked out of the company and went to the Ling family mansion in the middle of the mountain.

Today is December 30th, the Chinese New Year's Eve in the West, since Hong Kong was occupied by the British, China's traditional festivals have been canceled, and all Western festivals have been celebrated. Naturally, the Chinese New Year cannot be celebrated, so the last day of the Western calendar is celebrated as the New Year.

When I stepped into the Ling Family Mansion, it was completely dark. Ling Shizhe found out that he was the last to arrive, his mother Zhang Yuzhen and Li Li had been here for a long time, and more than ten people had already gathered around the table to eat, seeing that almost half of the dishes on this table had been eaten.

"Seventh, why did you come so late, I can't get through to your phone, come and eat." The eldest brother, Ling Shikai, moved a chair over.

Ling Shizhe sat down next to Li Li and the third sister, and the maid followed and put the dishes and chopsticks. After a day of work, he was hungry, Ling Shizhe picked up the chopsticks and opened them regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, and ate completely regardless of the image.

When he was half full, he suddenly felt wrong, and when he looked up, he saw that everyone had not eaten and all looked at him.

"What's the matter, why don't you eat, it all depends on what I'm doing, what did I do wrong?" Stunned by the fact that they were looking at one by one, Ling Shizhe asked weakly.

"It's okay to see how well you eat, come and eat for everyone." Ling Zhigao persuaded everyone to eat, and everyone at the table ate, drank, talked and laughed.

At this time, the third sister approached him and whispered, "Seventh, you looked like you hadn't eaten for three days just now." ”

"I didn't eat for a whole day, except for some in the morning." Call! Ling Shizhe breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he didn't commit any taboos, it was only the 70s, and he was not as enlightened as later generations; There are countless rules in a wealthy family like the Ling family, and many times they don't know which one they commit, so Ling Shizhe wants to move outside and avoid them as much as possible, these rules are really unbearable. Today is not a thirty of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and he must come back for a reunion dinner, otherwise he will not come here at all.

After eating, everyone stayed together to "keep the New Year". The family was divided into several piles and gathered together to talk, and Zhang Yuzhen sat and talked with her father and several other wives of her father. The men gathered in a heap, the women gathered in a heap, and the little ones ran out of the courtyard to play early. Ling Shizhe found a corner to drink tea alone.

"Why is Lao Qi doing this alone and not talking to his brothers?" A man and a woman stood in front of Ling Shizhe, and the voice was made by a man.

"It's the sixth brother and the fifth sister, come and sit down."

These two people are Ling Shizhe's fifth sister Ling Fangfang and sixth brother Ling Shixun, born to Ling Zhi's third wife Chen Zihan, Ling Shizhe didn't know what was going on when he saw them coming together.

After the two sat down opposite, Ling Fangfang spoke first and said, "Old Seven, we came to you this time to talk to you about business." ”

"What kind of business is the fifth sister and the sixth brother?"

Ling Shixun continued: "Old Seven, the Hong Kong government is now going to auction a piece of land in the New Territories, the land is a bit big, my fifth sister and I are a little tight, we want to borrow some money from the family foundation, you see......"

The piece of land in the New Territories Ling Shizhe knew that there were hundreds of hectares, and the Hong Kong government had divided it into several pieces for auction, and it was no problem to eat one or two pieces with Ling Fangfang and Ling Shixun's financial resources, but they would be tight, did they want to eat them all.

Sure enough, Ling Shixun explained that the reason was to eat it all and do the overall real estate development.

"Oh, eat it all, you have a big appetite, do you have a plan?"

"Old Seven, you see, this is our development plan." Ling Fangfang took out the plan from her bag.

After telling Ling Zhigao about the family fund planning plan a few days ago, Ling Zhigao notified the entire Ling family the next day, and his father was the chairman of the foundation and Ling Shizhe was the assistant. The family's banks and securities companies also began to go through the formalities to transfer him to the family fund. In the future, each of the Ling brothers and sisters will have to hand over 3% of their income and deposit it into the family fund, and whoever needs money in the future can borrow money from the family fund.

Although Ling Zhigao is the president, he basically doesn't care about things, and Ling Shizhe, as an assistant, is naturally the real manager. As soon as Ling Zhigao brought up this matter in the family, no one in the Ling family objected, and they all knew that it would only be good for everyone in the Ling family. Lao Qi, an international giant, is also suitable for the Ling family to be the actual person in charge of the foundation, after all, he pays three percent of the profits every year, and he pays the most. Originally, Ling Shikai, the eldest brother in this position, was the best, but Ling Shizhe's financial resources were too strong, and the Ling family was not as thick as a finger of him, so he could only be the assistant.

I thought it would be a while before they proposed to borrow money from the fund, but I didn't expect it to come now.

Looking at the plan, Ling Shizhe's heart wrinkled, it was so big, the whole plan was divided into several projects, and it would take no less than five years to implement all of them, if there was no economic crisis to a good commercial real estate project, it would definitely be a hen that laid golden eggs. However, in 73 years, there was an economic crisis in Hong Kong, although the economic crisis was very short, only lasted two years, but it came quite violently, and the destructive power was huge, and many Hong Kong wealthy families became history in this crisis; The reason why the new real estate tycoons have risen in this crisis, such as Li Chaoren in later generations, is simply that they have come to a successful bottom in this crisis and won high-quality commercial real estate projects that are seriously undervalued at a very low price.

In this feast of reshuffling the cards of Hong Kong's wealthy families, the British government of Hong Kong and Yingzi Bank played an extremely disgraceful role, and the British almost did not suffer much loss, and the losses were all Hong Kong people. On the other hand, the economic crisis was a wool-shearing operation by the British against the people of Hong Kong.

The plan had already been read, Ling Shizhe was silent for a long time, closing his eyes and thinking about countermeasures. The Ling Family Fund is an important part of Ling Shizhe's future layout, and it is the foundation and link of the Ling family's big tree forest system, and its first loan project must not be lost. But he didn't expect his first project, the fifth and sixth children, and had such a big problem with him.

Outright refusal? No, in this way, the Ling family will doubt the purpose of his involvement in the family fund, which will not be conducive to the unity between the Ling family brothers and sisters in the future. After all, Ling Shizhe had given up the inheritance of the Ling family, and the family funds, banks and other financial industries of the Ling family were firmly controlled by him, and if the family did not criticize him in private for wanting to occupy all the property of the Ling family, Ling Shizhe would not believe it.

Don't refuse, no, such a large real estate project can catch up with the group's current projects under construction, when the economic crisis comes, these two projects are enough to completely knock the Ling family into the abyss and never get up again, just a project is easy to do, after all, the group is developing a commercial real estate project has completed several phases and began to make money, although the cost has not been fully recovered, but also recovered partially, even if the crisis comes, although the loss is heavy, but it will not hurt the vitality, the Ling family will soon recover. But if the two of them come together, the Ling family will definitely finish playing.

At that time, Ambrera will be seriously dragged down, don't forget that the third sister bought a 300,000-acre ranch at the beginning of the year, which is a full 800 million US dollars, almost draining the entire fund, and owing a lot of money to the bank, the ranch will not be able to break even until at least three years later, and before that, it has to be put into it.

Ling Shizhe opened his eyes and looked at the two of them, and said: "The development project of such a large piece of land can catch up with the group's current projects under construction, you also know how much the group spent for this project at the beginning, and now the two of you want to eat such a large piece of land, aren't you kidding me?" ”

"Old Seven, of course the two of us can't eat, but we also found someone else."

"Those people?"

"Except for you and the third sister who didn't come in, the eldest brother, the second brother and the fourth brother in the family have all been added." Ling Shixun said.

"All added? Anyone else? ”

"No, it's just our brothers and sisters."

"Does Dad know about such a big project?"

"I haven't told Lao Dou yet, we came to you first, and you agreed that we will go to Lao Dou to say." Ling Fangfang interjected.

"Then do you know that there is not a penny in the fund now, and the account is empty?"

"Yes, so we're here for you, otherwise we'd have gone to find Dad." Ling Shixun replied.

Ling Shizhe understood, it was he who had misunderstood it for a long time, they didn't come to borrow money from the family fund at all, but to borrow money from him Ling Shizhe.

The money in the family fund was borrowed by the third sister Ling Shishi's ranch, it was empty, and it could not be repaid slowly until three years later, this money was agreed by Ling Zhigao, they had nothing to say, and they couldn't beat its idea. The family's bank also couldn't make up its mind, because in order to ensure the group's commercial real estate development projects, the family's bank stopped lending a few years earlier, and all the money that should be borrowed was used to ensure the group's investment projects.

I borrowed money from outside, and I guess they couldn't borrow much, so I came to him.

"Know my answer?"

"Don't be like this, Lao Qi, you have to know that if this project is completed, it will be a big gold mine, you don't have to do anything in the future, just the annual interest is enough to eat for a lifetime." Ling Fangfang saw him ask like this, knowing that he didn't want to borrow money, so she hurriedly persuaded him.

"You guessed right, I won't borrow this money, I advise, this project for the time being, you had better not touch it, let alone operate it privately, you can only do it by the group, now the group does not have the energy to complete two such big projects at the same time, only after completing the current project first, can you complete it and have the energy to complete it." Since it is not asking him to borrow money from the fund, but asking him to borrow money personally, the situation is different, and there is no need to refuse.

"Old Seven, don't you even give your eldest brother face?"

Ling Shizhe had a headache when he heard Ling Shikai's words, and shouted in his heart: You ignorant dolls, do you know what you are doing.
