"Professor Aihara, I'll trouble you about the battery formula."

"Rest assured, if you improve the recipe on the basis of increasing the volume, it shouldn't be too difficult."

Toshio Aihara has already obtained the battery formula given to him by Shirakawa Energy, which is the nickel-cadmium battery technology that Shirakawa Electric originally exchanged from Panasonic.

And along with this recipe, there are a lot of experimental data that were previously discarded by Panasonic.

Under Shirakawa Kaede's various great sword strategies, as well as a special compensation money that comes with it, is in place.

Kuboli of Panasonic's battery division also waved his hand happily and packed all the useless data lying in the data room to Shirakawa Electric.

With these experimental data, Toshio Aihara can do more with less and save a lot of time when looking for new formulas.

Coincidentally, Toshio Aihara spent several years at Panasonic's research institute before returning to Tohoku University in the 60s and continuing to work at the institute.

For these familiar data, Aihara Toshio can only sigh, fate is wonderful.

Shirakawa Kaede's requirements for a new generation of nickel-cadmium batteries are at least capable of supporting a high-end Walkman to listen smoothly to both sides of a tape, and there is still room for it.

At present, the cumulative time of a double-sided song on a tape is generally about 60 minutes, of course, there are also mini versions of 45 minutes or ultra-long versions of 120 minutes.

But that's not a universal specification after all, according to the normal working time, the newly developed battery can support the Walkman to work continuously for at least 1.5~2 hours.

Today's two No. 5 batteries can only meet the working time of about 40 minutes.

However, if it is still designed according to the specifications of No. 5 battery, it requires the battery capacity to be increased by more than 2 times. To be honest, it's too difficult.

After all, Panasonic's formula must have been verified countless times, and there is not much room for leapfrogging improvement on the existing basis.

Then if you want to achieve an ultra-long battery life of 2 hours, the battery specifications must be redesigned.

The reference specification that Kaede Shirakawa gave to Toshio Aihara here is a flat battery with a length of about 6 cm and a width of less than 2 cm.

This kind of battery is the chewing gum battery that was popular for a while in later generations, and has been widely used in electronic products such as walkmans, portable CD players, and cameras.

At one point, the capacity of this battery could reach 1000mAh, and the combination of the two cells made it easy for the Walkman to run for an hour and a half.

What's more, it's very inexpensive and can be recharged repeatedly.

To be honest, this battery feels a bit custom-made, and it's true, it's designed and developed to solve the battery life of the Walkman.

Now Shirakawa Kaede still intends to do this, and the first application product of Shirakawa's chewing gum battery will also be the Walkman.

Of course, this is only one of the products of the battery factory in Akita, and the ordinary No. 5 battery and No. 7 battery, Shirakawa Energy also does.

However, compared to the current market share of Panasonic and Sanyo, Shirakawa Energy must not be able to match it here.

But the product still has to be made and put on the market. It doesn't matter if you make money or not, you must at least brush up your sense of presence.

In this way, when the chewing gum battery comes out later, the public will not be so unfamiliar with the brand "Shirakawa".

In addition, consumer batteries are only a short-term goal, and the development of new batteries is a long-term plan.

Northeastern University has a dedicated energy course, and there are many institutes of materials and chemistry on campus.

First use this part of the resources to build the shelves of Shirakawa Energy, and then cooperate with the school for cutting-edge R&D projects.

In addition, wait for the factory in Akita to land. Shirakawa Energy will also recruit a large number of graduates from Tohoku University here.

Many of the students who study here are from Tohoku.

There must be no psychological barrier to going to work in Akita.

In a few years, Shirakawa Energy's own R&D capabilities will probably be fully formed.

At that time, I was able to take advantage of the trend to step into the research of nickel-metal hydride batteries, lithium batteries and other fields.

The seed has been planted, and all that remains is to wait for it to blossom and bear fruit.

Here at Northeastern University, Shirakawa Kaede personally made a trip, and the matter was basically settled.

However, in addition to the battery project, he also chatted with the school about the future recruitment of Shirakawa Electric.

The results went well, and Tohoku University had a very good impression of an industrial company like Shirakawa Electric.

The teaching philosophy that fits it is one thing, and so is the reputation of Shirakawa Electric.

Partnering with such a well-known company will give the school itself a lot of peace of mind, and at the same time, it can provide students with one more choice for employment.

Coupled with the fact that they both belong to the Northeast, the two sides will naturally be more close.

I met with people from all levels of the school, and another two days passed.

After finishing here, Shirakawa Kaede returned to Tokyo non-stop.

There are still a lot of things waiting for him there, such as the chip developed in cooperation with Fujitsu, and the products used in it are about to be released.

Back in Tokyo, Shirakawa Kaede was also a little tired because of the back-and-forth for several days.

In a single-family villa in Chiyoda Ward, he was lying alone on a large bed and turned over.

Well? I always feel like something is missing around me.

Shirakawa Kaede frowned and glanced at it, and he suddenly remembered when he saw the familiar pajamas on the bedroom hanger.

It seems that the senior sister hasn't been here for a while, and when he returns to Tokyo after the year, he is so busy that he doesn't pay attention to these things for a while.

I also called during this period, but she said that she had been filming recently, and Shirakawa Kaede didn't think much about it.

But now that I think about it, it seems a little wrong, and it doesn't take that long to film.

And I haven't heard of her going on location, so what's the reason?

Shirakawa Kaede decided to give up being a mediocre person here, he is an out-and-out man of action.

As soon as he said it, he got up and went downstairs.

"Sama, let the island come over."

"Hai" Sama immediately turned around and went to make a call.

Shirakawa Kaede was going out because he was going out, so he called Kojima.

In fact, Sa Ma can also drive, but he has just learned it and has not yet passed the novice period.

For the sake of insurance, Shirakawa Kaede should let the old driver Kojima come.

Soon it was only a quarter of an hour before Kojima stopped at the door in the Toyota Century.

"Go to Yoyogi Uehara."

The island immediately realized that he started the car and headed straight for his destination.

Half an hour later, before the familiar building was built, Shirakawa Kaede raised his finger and knocked on the door.

"Squeak", a familiar figure appeared inside the door.

"Huh?" Yuko Tanaka was very surprised to see him outside, and her face was a little surprised at first, but it soon darkened again.

"Why are you here?"

However, Shirakawa Kaede didn't intend to answer anything at all, he directly hugged her and walked towards the house.

"Wait, I have a question for you."

"I'll talk about it later," Shirakawa Kaede picked her up and threw her onto the bed.

If there is any problem, let's talk about it first.

Killing her majesty fiercely, Shirakawa Kaede was satisfied and lay on the bed and entered the state of a sage.

As for Yuko Tanaka, she was honestly lying in his arms with a blushing face.

"Shirakawa-kun"

"Huh?" Shirakawa Kaede is still wandering the world.

Yuko Tanaka looked at him and stopped talking, but in the end she still had a question in her heart.

"What's wrong?" She didn't ask, but Shirakawa Kaede turned her head and asked.

"Nothing," Yuko Tanaka shook her head.

Hey, what's going on, how do you look thoughtful.

"By the way, Shirakawa-kun, I took another morning drama. Filming will probably start at the end of the year, and after filming this drama, I want to take a break for a while. ”

"Huh?" Shirakawa Kaede turned his head and looked at her in surprise, "Did something happen, why did you have this thought?" ”

As far as Shirakawa Kaede knows, she should like filming very much. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to Meiji's drama department again after a short period of time.

In the face of his surprise, Yuko Tanaka smiled indifferently.

"I have also acted in a lot of dramas in the past two years, and my dream has been realized. So, I guess I don't have any regrets in my heart. ”

It has been more than three years since her debut, and she has been exposed to a lot of TV series and movies.

For ordinary newcomers, they may have just entered the industry for three years, and there are not a few people who are still playing tricks.

But since Shirakawa Kaede bought her office and made herself the majority shareholder behind the scenes.

A lot of things seem to be going well, and the scenes that make her feel a little embarrassed are all rejected.

Even other resources will take the initiative to find the door, not worrying about drama appointments or advertising appointments.

In just two or three years, it has reached the height of a lot of Haiyu who has worked hard for several years or even more than ten years, and everything is smooth, but it is also boring.

After the initial excitement, she no longer had the excitement and apprehension she had when she first took over the play.

So Yuko Tanaka, who had been quiet during this time, thought about it carefully, is there anything else in her life that she hasn't had time to experience?

Except for acting, there seems to be nothing left.

Maybe it's also a good choice to experience the life that an ordinary woman should have.

With no regrets, she decided to take on another drama to draw a perfect end to her acting career.

From now on, experience life with heart and be an ordinary woman again.

But in the end, in neon, after all, women have to sacrifice a little more.

The word haiyu may be getting farther and farther away from your life in the future.

And after listening to her words, Shirakawa Kaede still felt a little sudden.

This is not like the lively and cheerful senior sister before, but Shirakawa Kaede respects her choice.

"Senior sister's last play, what's the name? If I have time at the start of the broadcast, I will definitely contribute a rating to the senior sister. ”

It seems to think of his first experience in a morning play, when he said the same thing to himself.

Yuko Tanaka had a smile on her face, "It's called "Ashin", a very inspiring story. ”

Shirakawa Kaede turned his head, and the surprise and surprise in his eyes flashed.

"Since Senior Sister said so, it must be a great drama."

At the end of April, Kaede Shirakawa set aside a day to visit Fujitsu.

This was not only an invitation from Fujitsu, but also his own idea.

Since last year, the two companies have been working together to develop processor chips for computers.

Now that this product is finally about to be introduced to the market, as the first large-scale application of SIC chips, he is also ready to be there in person to see how the product performs.
