John Bauer understood this, so when Catherine began to allocate rooms, John Bauer called Roger Howells to take a look at the materials lab on Penglai Island.

Roger Howells' home is near John Bauer's house, even if Roger Howells is single, Lanfang Imperial University has not neglected, Roger Howells' home is a single-story villa, which is specifically requested by Roger Howells.

Although O. Henry promised Roger Howells that there would be workers to help Roger Howells clean his room, Roger Howells was still reluctant to live in a house that was too big for Roger Howells.

Roger Howells didn't have anything to pack, so he put the few clothes he had with him in the closet in the dressing room, and he was done.

Unlike Catherine, who insisted on a "Shadow", Roger Howells chose a "Matador", and it was the kind that was supplied to the military, stupid and thick, with thick black skin and rough meat, which was very much in line with Roger Howells's temperament.

The performance of the car supplied to the military is still very good, at least the horsepower is strong and durable, but there must be some mistakes in the small details limited to the process, such as the sealing of the "Matador" is not very perfect, and it is a bit leaky to drive.

It's also not bad that the jeep can drive the feeling of a convertible.

The road network on Penglai Island is still very developed, and the roads are criss-crossed in all directions, and it is only thanks to the roadside signs that Roger Howells and John Bauer can successfully reach the materials laboratory.

The Lanfang government has done a very good job, and the signs along the road are bilingual, Chinese and French.

There is a reason why I chose French, and in today's world, English is not the lingua franca to be honest, but French is, and English is on a similar footing with Spanish. Lan Fang came out of the French Foreign Legion, and during the three years of fighting in France, many people were proficient in French, so although Lan Fang's official lingua franca was Chinese, French still had a considerable social status.

The first language that many Westerners learn after coming to Lanfang is not Chinese, but French, and for Westerners, it is certainly much easier to memorize a few simple letters to arrange than to memorize more than 2,000 Chinese characters.

Both Roger Howells and John Bauer were no strangers to the French language, and Roger Howells himself was half French, and French was the equivalent of his mother tongue for Roger Howells.

The entrance to the materials laboratory was guarded, and it took a lot of trouble for Roger Howells' car to enter the materials laboratory.

Roger Howells had a cartoon sticker on the front windshield of his car, and Roger Howells certainly didn't understand what that meant, but when the guard saw the sticker, it was clear that the guard relaxed a lot.

There should still be procedures, Roger Howells and John Bauer had just arrived on Penglai Island, and they hadn't had time to apply for documents, so the guards called Long Chengxuan and asked Long Chengxuan to come out to pick up people.

These guards are all subordinate to the Capital Circle Garrison Command, and although they are responsible for guarding the material laboratory, they do not obey the command of Long Chengxuan, the person in charge of the laboratory.

After answering the phone, Long Chengxuan soon appeared at the gate in a commuter car similar to a sightseeing car in the 21st century.

"Mr. John Bauer?" It seems that Long Chengxuan is doing an experiment, and he is still wearing a white coat.

"Yes, you're Long?" John Bauer was so kind when he saw the white coat.

"Yes, your arrival is welcome, Your Majesty has informed me, I thought you would come over tomorrow, I didn't expect your enthusiasm for work to be so high." Long Chengxuan stretched out his hand, and there was a bit of metal dust on his hand, which glistened in the sun.

John Bauer obviously didn't care, he held Long Chengxuan's hand enthusiastically, and he didn't forget to show off in his mouth: "You are conducting material testing?" What is it? Silver? ”

"It should be the surface treatment, it seems that you chose to be silver-plated, is this to increase the self-lubricating performance?" Roger Howells also saw the hunt.

"I'm really sorry, according to the regulations, I should clean up before I can leave the laboratory, but you are all your own people now, and the "Code of Secrecy" is automatically invalid for you, come on, I'll take you around and get familiar with this place." Long Chengxuan was a little embarrassed.

Scientists can sometimes be really scary, and you can see a lot of things just by looking at them.

Long Chengxuan was indeed doing a surface treatment experiment just now, and the material used was indeed silver.

Roger Howells and John Bauer did not follow the question, nor did they want to understand the meaning of the "Code of Secrecy", and when it was time for the official work, someone would explain it to them.

After getting into Long Chengxuan's car, Roger Howells and John Bauer's attention immediately shifted to the car.

"Is this -- electric?" John Bauer was intrigued.

"Yes, it's electric, but it can't go very far and needs to be recharged a lot, so it can only be used as an internal commuter car." Long Chengxuan does not hide it.

Don't think that the large-scale emergence of electric vehicles is in the 21st century, and think that electric vehicles are high-tech, but in fact, they are not at all.

The first electric car appeared in 1834, followed by the great French physicist and inventor Gaston Plant in 1859 with the invention of the rechargeable lead-acid battery. Before 1920, electric vehicles had the advantages of no odor, no vibration, no noise, no gear shifting, and low price, which formed a car market divided into three parts: steam, electric and internal combustion engines.

20 years later, the performance of the internal combustion engine has improved rapidly, and the electric vehicle has gradually lost its advantages, and Lanfang has a certain responsibility in this regard, and the development momentum of Lanfang Automobile has also affected the living space of electric vehicles to a certain extent.

Qin Zhiyuan still attaches great importance to electric vehicles, there are many islands in Lanfang, these islands are limited in area, the use of cars is a bit overkill, and the economy of electric vehicles has great development prospects on the islands.

For example, in Penglai Island, a small island with an area of only about 450 square kilometers, it is very suitable for the use of electric vehicles, similar to Roger Howells and John Bauer going back and forth between home and the laboratory.

Of course, the decline of electric cars is also due to the hype of certain institutions, and Americans are definitely more responsible in this regard, if it were not for the deliberate operation of oil giants such as Ford Motor Company and Rockefeller, electric cars would not have declined so quickly.

"Penglai Island is a scenic spot, the requirements for the environment are very high, so Your Majesty attaches great importance to this issue, we are currently accelerating the research and development of electric vehicles, and then there may be new products in a period of time, at least to meet the needs of the island's transportation." Long Chengxuan did not hide that this was originally one of the tasks of the materials laboratory.

The progress of science and technology is inseparable from the development of materials, especially in the field of electric vehicles, where rechargeable batteries are the core of electric vehicles. Qin Zhiyuan gave Long Chengxuan some suggestions in this regard, and the main research direction should be lead-acid batteries and lithium-ion batteries.

This is Qin Zhiyuan's suggestion based on the memory of the 21st century, but limited to the current level of technology, it is a bit difficult to study lithium-ion batteries, so lead-acid batteries are a key research project of Long Chengxuan.

Long Chengxuan is still very capable, now Long Chengxuan and John Bauer they are sitting in this car, using the lead-acid battery researched by the materials research laboratory itself, this battery still has some problems to solve, so it has not been introduced to the market on a large scale, but compared with the battery on other electric vehicles, the battery researched by Long Chengxuan is stronger than one level, and the discharge stability and endurance have been greatly improved.

The battery has a wide range of applications in the industrial field, especially the diesel-electric submarine used by Lanfang, the higher the performance of the battery, the better, so Qin Zhiyuan now intends to split the materials laboratory and set up a special battery research room to conduct research in this area.

"Well, Your Majesty is indeed far-sighted—" John Bauer said not as flattery, but from the heart.

can leap from a laborer to a king of a powerful country in the world, and in just a few years, Qin Zhiyuan has now become a legend, even if his identity is different, Qin Zhiyuan is now the most typical inspirational figure and heroic representative in the global media, as long as miracles are mentioned, Qin Zhiyuan and Lan Fang are the best footnotes.

"Of course, Your Majesty has always attached great importance to the research of materials, our institute was born in the Corsican period, even when His Majesty was at the most tight in funds, he never reduced his support for the institute, Mr. Nicholas retired to His Majesty, maybe you already know that Mr. Nicholas has 10 million dollars of research funding every year, but I can tell you, you don't need to envy Mr. Nicholas, because our Materials Research Institute has never had research funds, and our funds are unlimited!" Speaking of Qin Zhiyuan, Long Chengxuan's face was full of pride.

After listening to Long Chengxuan's words, behind Long Chengxuan's invisible, Roger Howells and John Bauer exchanged ecstatic looks.

What are the researchers' biggest fears?

One is that a layman commands an insider, and the other is a lack of funds.

In Lanfang, there seems to be no problem in this regard at all, and for scientific researchers, Lanfang is really heaven.

Soon, the commuter bus arrived in front of a two-story building, and Long Chengxuan got out of the car and made an inviting gesture, leading Roger Howells and John Bauer inside.

"The two floors above ground are furnishings, the reception room, the conference room, the lounge or something, under the location of our research." Long Chengxuan did not hide it, and led Roger Howells and John Ball into the elevator.

The elevator kept going down, and John Bauer felt that it had been several minutes before the elevator stopped, and when the elevators opened, a whole new world appeared in front of John Bauer.
