Chapter 81: The Second Episode of the Stars
Luo Jia used an ink pen on the whiteboard and wrote this sentence, "All-solid electrolyte, high ionic conductivity, low electronic conductivity." ”
The moment Luo Jia stopped writing, the conference room suddenly boiled.
It turns out that Luo Jia's plan A is to make all-solid-state batteries!
What is an all-solid-state battery?
To put it simply, it is to replace the unstable electrolyte with a solid electrolyte.
There are many benefits to all-solid-state batteries, otherwise Luo Jia would not have made it the company's first plan.
If this project is realized, first of all, the battery energy density will be increased by at least three times, in the past, the mobile phone was flushed once a day, and if it is replaced by an all-solid-state battery, it can be charged once every three days.
Other features include complete solution to potential safety hazards, high cycle times, ultra-thin assembly, bendability, and so on.
At present, the main team is making all-solid-state batteries, and the US National Laboratory has a super 500 plan to manufacture solid-state batteries with an energy density of more than 500WH per kilogram in three to five years, and it is rumored that the super 500 plan is about to enter the final stage.
Neon, South Korea, Germany, also have corresponding research, considering the importance of batteries for the development of science and technology, they have invested countless funds and experts, all want to become a hegemon in the field of new energy in the future.
Luo Jia took the volume of Xingchen Technology and went to the US National Laboratory, which is indeed a bit crazy, but the strongest tough guy in the technology industry is not given in vain.
After a brief moment of silence, the room erupted in the frantic shouts of straight men of steel.
There will always be difficulties, don't be cowardly, just do it!
......
In October, after the end of the display project, Xingchen Technology officially entered the field of energy storage batteries.
The hardware corps has become very busy, and in the case of the photoresist project has not yet been completed, it has also started a two-line operation in the battery field, with Plan A focusing on the next generation of all-solid-state batteries, and Plan B planning to improve the existing ternary lithium battery.
Luo Jia's choice this time is very pragmatic, ternary lithium battery and LCD screen, are the same technology, it has been on the market for a long time, and it is much less difficult to improve the original technology than to recreate a revolutionary new product.
As long as any of the two sets of solutions are successful, it is enough to make Xingchen Technology have the strength to challenge the overlord Panasonic.
It is not yet known whether Xingchen Technology's entry into the battery field will cause a new energy storm, but in the global academic community, this time it is really explosive.
In mid-October, the second issue of the Stellar Journal was officially launched, and it quickly swept the whole world like a hurricane.
Due to insufficient preparation, only 10,000 copies were printed in the inaugural issue of Xingchen, which was frantically robbed by the global academic community.
Sha Zhan and Gu Pengdong, who were in charge of the project, had to urgently print two more copies, printing 160,000 copies, barely enough to meet the needs of domestic and foreign research institutions, as well as ordinary science enthusiasts.
An obscure academic journal sold 160,000 copies!
This is definitely a record, and according to the price of 48 yuan per book, the cost is less than 10 yuan, and the publishing department has achieved a profit of millions of yuan in the current period...
It is a small miracle that a comprehensive academic journal not only does not lose money, but also earns millions every month.
Of course, not all buyers are here to understand the papers, and many people simply support or collect them, and then put them on the shelf after buying them.
Having learned the previous lesson, the publishing department made the second issue of Xingchen into a paper version and an electronic version, and the domestic price was still 48 yuan, and the overseas price was set at 48 US dollars, and the payment was accepted by Visa or MasterCard credit card.
As a result, the second issue of Xingchen sold nearly 200,000 copies, and the publishing department made a profit of 15 million yuan!
Sha Zhan and Gu Pengdong were almost crazy with excitement, they never dreamed that Xingchen Journal would become a big business.
Now when it comes to pure Chinese journal Xingchen, there is nothing in the global academic community that does not know, and its popularity can be completely comparable to natural, cell, and other old academic journals.
The birth of the Xingchen journal has had a great impact on the global academic community, and countless well-known scholars have burst into tears.
Sha Zhan discussed with Luo Jia and decided that in addition to soliciting papers within the company, he would start to solicit first-class manuscripts from all over the world.
Luo Jia didn't plan to make money from journals, he directly decided that once any academic paper is adopted by Xingchen, the manuscript fee will start at one million yuan, and there will be no cap!
After this news broke, it immediately caused a huge sensation in the academic circle.
Friends who don't know about academic journals may not know that due to the low sales, most of the papers published in journals have no manuscript fee, but have to pay the page fee according to the number of pages occupied, and post the money to the publishing house.
Luo Jia is now determined to build Xingchen into an aircraft carrier in the field of global academic journals, so he spares no expense to contract manuscripts, Chinese academic circles can send them, and those from abroad do not refuse, the only condition is that you have to translate the paper into Chinese.
It is very troublesome to solicit papers for journals, all submissions need to be reviewed, and if the plagiarized work is published, it will directly affect the reputation of the journal.
Fortunately, Sha Zhan has a lot of friends in the academic world, and he has found many well-known domestic scholars to form a joint review team, and all submissions need to be reviewed three times before they can be published in Xingchen Journal.
Although this will double the workload of the review panel, the scholars have no complaints.
After all, this is the first truly top academic journal in China in the world, and it is also a pure Chinese version, and the significance of the stars is equivalent to detonating a nuclear bomb in the global academic community!
At a high-level academic seminar held in Beijing, a gray-haired old man, holding a magazine of stars with a panorama of the Milky Way, declared in a trembling voice, "From now on, the academic hegemony of developed countries has been completely broken!" ”
......
Stockholm, Sweden.
After paying ninety-six dollars for the first issue of Etoile and the second issue of Etoile, Mr. Sigurdson was at peace and no longer had to bear the conscience condemnation of reading pirated copies.
Day after day, Mr. Sigurdson sat at his computer, waiting for the translated version of his paper to come out.
After all, the Etoile was an all-Chinese periodical, and Mr. Sigurdson couldn't read the square words at all, and he was anxious about it, and he was angry at why he had taken French instead of Chinese when he was younger.
Waiting to read the translated paper is like waiting for the novel to be updated, but the process is more painful and long.
The translation of papers is very rigorous, involves a lot of technical terms, and the progress is slow.
Whenever a paper is translated, Mr. Sigurdson is always excited for a while, followed by a long wait.
In the past two months, Mr. Sigurdson is not the only one who has been tormented by translation problems, and the global academic community has suffered from not knowing Chinese.
Professors and scholars from China are regarded as guests of honor by the academic community, because only they can translate those magical square words.
Mr. Sighoudson is in his sixties, but he is still resolute and signed up for Chinese training.
His teacher was an engineer named Gao Hexiang.
Engineer Gao has been coming to Stockholm from China since Geely acquired Volvo Cars in Sweden, where he speaks fluent English and Swedish.
When the first day of the course ended, Gao Hexiang gave Mr. Sigurdson a pair of brush characters written by himself, and sprinkled a large article, the preface of King Teng's Pavilion.
Mr. Sigurdson looked at the magical words of the dragon flying and the phoenix dance, and felt inexplicably surprised, as if there was some kind of powerful power contained in this article.
"Mr. Gao, may I ask, when will I be able to read this Chinese character?" Mr. Sigurdson asked earnestly.
Gao Hexiang laughed.
"Do you want to understand that Luoxia and the lonely bird fly together, and the autumn water grows together in the sky? Understand the fishing boat singing at night, ringing on the shore of Peng Li, the geese are frightened, and the sound is broken Hengyang Zhipu? ”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Sigurdson, though you are a respectable old gentleman, I am afraid you will never be able to read it."
"Why?" Mr. Sigurdsson was puzzled, and at the same time, the stubbornness in his chest that refused to admit defeat began to flare up again, "I have been known as a genius in languages since I was a child, I am proficient in Swedish, English, French, Spanish and Latin, I have time, I can work hard to learn your Chinese. ”
"It's different." Gao Hexiang shook his head, "This is not only a language, but also an ancient culture, in this world, only those of us who were born and raised in China can understand their beauty." ”
