Chapter 161: New Energy Opportunities, Global Media Siege

Luo Jia's speech is over, but this storm about new energy has just begun.

Luo Jia was in the venue, surrounded by Xu Dian's bigwigs, and asked a lot of questions related to the future, fortunately, An Ran was also by his side, and his answer was quick and decent, otherwise if Luo Jia was alone, he would really not be able to take care of it.

In the private room, as well as the big names in the back row of the venue, they began to leave, they would not come over to ask questions in person, if they really want to know anything, just ask someone to talk to Luo Jia.

For example, Professor Ouyang and Chief Engineer Ning Zeping, they communicated with Luo Jia, in fact, many times they were on a task, everyone knew it in their hearts, but no one broke it.

Luo Jia smiled and said loudly, "We are more optimistic about the future, with the development of economy and science and technology, the total amount of electricity consumption in the society will definitely rise hugely." ”

"This is not just a problem of electric vehicles, you may know that the most important machine in the semiconductor field, the lithography machine, is advancing rapidly from ultraviolet light to more advanced extreme ultraviolet light."

"Compared with the technology of the past, extreme ultraviolet light is actually a miracle thing, and its energy efficiency conversion rate is only 0.02 percent, that is, 99.98 percent of the electrical energy will be lost when the machine is working."

"To maintain an EUV lithography machine with a power of only 250 watts, it will consume up to 30,000 kilowatts of electricity every day, and TSMC has to expand the power plant in order to introduce this kind of machine."

"Of course, this is just an extreme example, as living standards improve and industrial automation increases, these will bring a huge power gap."

"Don't look at our total power generation, it is already 1.6 times that of North America, but in terms of per capita, North America's per capita power generation is 16,000 kWh, and we are only 4,000 kWh, which is four times worse."

"Since we want to catch up with North America, it means that one day, we will have to generate the same or even more electricity per capita than North America."

"According to this standard, our total annual power generation will increase from the current 6 trillion kWh to at least 24 trillion kWh."

After listening to Luo Jia's judgment, all the power bosses were excited and melancholy.

The excitement is that by quadrupling electricity consumption, power companies can do bigger and generate more profits.

And the melancholy is because Luo Jia's judgment of the future is too terrifying, twenty-four trillion degrees? How many new power plants will be built?

Luo Jia paused and continued: "I know that among all of you present, there are also bigwigs from the oil industry. ”

"In fact, whether it is oil or electricity, it is the energy industry, if our judgment of the future is true, the power grid will expand at least four times in the future, and the opportunity here is too great, not only for the power sector, but also for the oil sector."

"No matter how much society progresses, oil will always be used, because oil not only involves transportation, but also involves chemical industry, and such a large power gap cannot all be solved from thermal power, wind power and solar power generation, nuclear power, these are the standard configuration of the future."

For the future of the oil industry, Luo Jia is just a little bit of water, passing by, after all, the future direction of these giants is not something he can decide.

But judging from the current actions of the national team, the trend is already very obvious.

Like all countries in the world, everyone has realized that the future of energy must be dominated by electricity, which is not the words of China alone, but the global consensus.

In addition to getting involved in the chemical industry, oil companies can also get involved in projects such as offshore power generation and diversify their operations.

It was not easy to get out of the encirclement of the power bosses, and the weather in October was almost winter, but Luo Jia, An Ran and others were sweating profusely.

They didn't stop nearby, drove into the alley, and found a secluded restaurant.

As soon as the cold dishes were served, Luo Jia opened a bottle of Yanjing beer and was drinking it when Professor Ouyang's phone called.

"Good news for you." Professor Ouyang said in a somewhat mysterious tone: "For your speech today, some people are very satisfied. ”

Who is satisfied?

Luo Jia wouldn't ask this kind of stupid question, he just smiled.

Professor Ouyang said, "You can rest assured that what you can do boldly is that it is too late for the state to protect and support scientific research enterprises like you and Huawei, how can you suppress it, as for how big a giant you can become in the end, it depends on your own strength, in short, someone has already understood your situation, so let's work hard in the future." ”

Luo Jia thanked Professor Ouyang and asked him when he had time to have a meal together.

As a result, Professor Ouyang has been busy recently, and his schedule has been full, so he has to make an appointment in the future, anyway, Luo Jia and the power department are so deeply involved, it is inevitable that there will be many opportunities to meet in the future.

Putting down the phone, Luo Jia told everyone what Professor Ouyang said.

An Ran is a scholar, he has little sensitivity to politics, shrugged his shoulders, and continued to eat his shredded pork in Beijing sauce.

Hong Tao grew up in the capital since he was a child, and he was very excited about it, guessing at the wine table which bigwigs came today, and which bigwigs were more satisfied with Xingchen Technology.

Luo Jia hurriedly stopped him from continuing and said, he is engaged in a scientific research enterprise, it is enough to have a certain amount of political support, there is no need to rush to move closer to power, business and politics, it is better to separate.

Luo Jia raised his glass and said with a smile: "In any case, the supercapacitor project has finally settled, and our products have entered the power sector, which is not just a matter of profit, but a big step forward in the direction we hope in the future." ”

An Ran nodded again and again, "That's right, the reason why the brothers in the company work so hard, in addition to salary, the most important thing is to rely on their own strength to change society and life, after all, who didn't have any dreams when they were young, they can see their dreams come true, and it's worth risking their lives!" ”

"Mr. Luo, do you think you are arranging the next tasks? With energy storage and installation ships, it's time for us to copy the base camp of Siemens and Vitas, right? ”

Everyone is very excited, although the company has done a lot of scientific and technological pre-research, but according to the consistent style of Xingchen Technology, it has always focused on doing big things.

As Luo Jia herself said, modern scientific research has become a highly complex, highly difficult, and crazy thing to burn money.

If you want to solve the problem as soon as possible and come up with a plan, you must put all the scientific research strength of the company into it and engage in large-scale scientific and technological research.

Luo Jia smiled, "Don't worry, according to the old rules, take a holiday first, after all, many people in the company have found a girlfriend, and they must always leave some time for everyone to fall in love, and when the holiday is over, I will tell you the next direction of attack." ”

......

The signing ceremony between Xingchen Technology and the power department was very low-key.

However, the impact of this event on the world is far greater than the advent of any new electronic product, after all, the large-scale popularization of supercapacitors marks a major turn in the country of China.

The world's leading media outlets have published special reports on the day after the signing of the contract, which occupy a large space and have far-reaching repercussions, so that even ordinary people who care about technology the most can feel that a great change is accelerating.

Before that, Xingchen Technology's supercapacitors were just rumors discussed within the science and technology circle, and now after the dust settles, everyone is shocked by Xingchen Technology and the whole of Huaxia.

The New York Times published a front-page headline, "After the charging pile plan, Huaxia will make another heavy move to build a national energy storage center." ”

This article in the New York Times is still very professional, and it specially invited a leading scholar from the California Institute of Technology to write it.

From his professional point of view, the scholar analyzed the completion of the popularization of charging piles in Huaxia within three years, and the impact of this large-scale investment in energy storage centers on the future is far-reaching.

Energy is a big problem for any country, and China itself does not produce much crude oil, relying on overseas procurement, and once the new energy plan is completed in a few years, they will completely get rid of their dependence on foreign energy.

As a North American, the Caltech scholar gloated that Russia may suffer, because it will not be long before China will reduce or even stop buying crude oil from Russia altogether, and Russia's Ural crude oil has a very high sulfur content, far inferior to Brent in the Middle East and the North Sea.

In addition, the scholar also expressed envy that Huaxia can fully turn to new energy construction, believing that with the power of Huaxia's infrastructure madness, they are likely to become the first country on the earth to fully switch to new energy, leaving the world far behind.

In fact, there are still some countries on the earth that have achieved clean energy coverage, but they are all small countries, and none of the major powers with real global competitiveness has been able to do so.

After all, this article is written by a scholar, and it seems to be relatively eye-catching, but other media in North America are not so polite.

Whether it is the Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, the Washington Post, or television organizations such as ABC, CNN, FOX, etc., they are all seizing the opportunity to exaggerate the Chinese threat theory.

In Europe, the Financial Times article is also more polite, they recently left the European Union, and the United Kingdom, which has lost the entire European market, is doing everything to seek support from China.

Therefore, the Financial Times is very cautious, analyzes the prospects of new energy in China, and said that as the oldest capitalist empire on the planet, the British authorities should start negotiations with China as soon as possible to seize the opportunities that belong to the future.

It is worthy of the old fox, the British people still have a very sensitive sense of smell, they feel an opportunity, they want to make money, and it is best to cooperate with Huaxia in the future.

It's a pity that there are only a few voices like this in the world.

Most of the media, like the mainstream in North America, regard Huaxia's new energy strategy as a huge threat and attack it en masse.

In particular, the two major German media outlets, Bild and Der Spiegel.

They not only belittled supercapacitors, but also announced a grapevine that the deep-sea energy storage technology jointly owned by Siemens and Rheinland Group will also be launched in the near future to compete with the supercapacitor technology of Xingchen Technology.
