If there is hope, who would not want to see their homeland ahead of other countries in the frontiers of science and technology?

Sitting in the living room today, whether it is Qin Anguo, Wang Guanghe, or Xu Chuan, they all hope.

Judging by the current development, despite the fact that the development of the motherland has been quite rapid for decades, it has gradually caught up with those Western countries in the first echelon.

But it has to be said that in most of the cutting-edge technology fields, they are still a lot behind because they started too late.

For example, in the field of batteries.

Although the supply of lithium batteries produced by China's CATL now accounts for nearly a quarter of the world, more than 20% of the power battery market, and although BYD's lithium iron phosphate power battery also belongs to the world's advanced level, this still cannot avoid the blood sucking of those Western countries.

Every time they produce a battery, they will pay a certain patent fee to foreign companies because of the various patents in it.

Take lithium iron phosphate batteries as an example, in the early years, for every ton of lithium batteries produced in China, 2,500 yuan of patent fees had to be paid, and most of the money earned from the production of batteries was taken away by those foreign veterans.

Although there have been many major breakthroughs in the domestic battery industry, there is still a big gap compared with those foreign countries or laboratories that have been studying in the battery industry for a long time.

Especially in the layout of cutting-edge science and technology, the gap is even greater.

For example, after the lithium dendrite problem is solved, the lithium-sulfur battery that finally hopes to greatly improve the energy density of lithium batteries, and those countries in the West have applied for countless patents.

In such an environment, even if you take the lead in developing lithium-sulfur batteries, you may not be able to get rid of other people's patent barriers in the end.

In comparison, lithium-air batteries have few patent barriers.

As difficult as it is, it has a higher energy density and a more enlightened outlook. If it can be developed, it will directly bypass the lithium-sulfur battery and leapfrog ahead of other countries.

Without a doubt, this is quite tempting.

......

Facing Qin Anguo's question, Xu Chuan could only smile bitterly and shook his head: "Minister Qin, you regard me as too omnipotent, I'm just a mathematician." Even with a certain amount of scientific research ability, it is impossible to solve all problems. ”

Hearing this, Qin Anguo showed a hint of disappointment.

Indeed, he was asking too much.

But to be honest, this is also an illusion given to him by the young scholar in front of him.

Since I met him, he has given people a sense of omnipotence in both theory and application.

World-class problems, seven millennial problems, nuclear waste problems, lithium dendrite problems...... Everything in his hands was dealt with one by one.

It makes people feel as if they can solve any problem in his hands.

On the side, Wang Guanghe did not pay attention to this aspect, and he then asked: "You mean, we should focus on lithium-sulfur batteries?" ”

Xu Chuan nodded, shook his head again, and saw that Qin Anguo and Wang Guanghe were a little confused.

After a pause, he spoke: "I don't recommend focusing on the ultra-difficult technology of lithium-air batteries at present, not that lithium-air batteries do not need to be developed and are not important. ”

"But for now, we need to spend money on projects that really need money, such as finding ways to bypass the patents applied for by those Western countries on lithium-sulfur batteries, such as developing a new generation of lithium-ion batteries, and so on."

"That's what we need to do right now."

“........”

"Thank you, Professor Xu, for your valuable advice, we will seriously consider these things." ”

After a long time of communication, Wang Guanghe stood up with a smile and shook hands with Xu Chuan, preparing to say goodbye and leave.

Xu Chuan got up with a smile and sent the two old men to the gate of the courtyard.

This afternoon, he chatted a lot with Qin Anguo and Wang Guanghe.

But the conversation is basically about what he understands, or looking back at the past as a reborn standing twenty years later, and doing some guidance, so that the motherland can try to avoid those unnecessary inputs and wrong routes.

That's the only thing he can do at the moment.

As for the layout and arrangement of the energy field, as well as the future development trend of domestic energy, he did not speak as usual.

Because he doesn't understand.

Standing at his current height, his remarks have long been not a matter of one person. To some extent, his words today affect the development of an industry, a country, and even the whole world.

Just like the lithium battery this time, as long as he is optimistic about the lithium-air battery or other directions, he guarantees that the above will strongly support it, and even establish a special research project, asking people to give people and money to money. And the project was almost destined to be led by him.

In addition, other countries and capitals in the world will also frantically throw all kinds of funds into the field of lithium-air batteries.

But his innate sense of responsibility made it impossible for Xu Chuan to do so.

He knows very well that the lithium-air battery is currently a super pit, not to mention that he, a big bull in the field of 'fake' batteries, has jumped in, even if the real bulls in this industry are filled in, they may not be able to fill this pit.

For example, in 2013, the business giant IBM announced that it would cooperate with Asahi Kasei and Central Glass in the small island nation to develop lithium-air batteries.

But until now, until Xu Chuan's rebirth in the future, this project is just a project, and there are almost no really useful results.

According to the so-called historical development, two years later, that is, in 2021, after seven years of research, they will come up with a lithium-air battery with an energy density of 500wh/kg per unit weight.

But that's just a joke.

It is true that it achieves this energy density standard, but 10 times of charge and discharge cycles will cause the capacity of the battery to plummet, and more than 20 times will basically be scrapped.

With tens of billions of investments and seven years, business giants like IBM and battery giants in small island countries have joined forces to make no breakthroughs in lithium-air batteries.

It can be said that the problems on lithium-air batteries are not problems that can be solved in the next two decades.

........

After seeing off the two elders, Xu Chuan rested for a while and then set off for Qidong.

A temporary episode does not affect the overall work arrangement, at most, let Zheng Hai help change the high-speed rail ticket for a while.

On the other hand, the battery industry and battery-related industries, such as the mobile phone industry and the new energy vehicle industry, have just begun.

Not long after the press conference held at the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute.

Some well-known mobile phone manufacturers in China coincidentally held product launch conferences.

Warwick, Rice, VIO, OPP, ....... At this press conference, Huaguo mobile phone suppliers coincidentally disclosed the concept diagram of the new generation of mobile phones, or PPT preset texts.

In addition to some performance improvements, the most striking thing is that these manufacturers have invariably tripled the range of their phones.

This means that the mobile phone, which can only be used for a day on a full charge, can be used for at least three days on a single charge in the new generation!

As soon as the news came out, the entire Internet instantly became a sensation.

[Sleep, battery life increased by three times? ] I read that right! 】

[Domestic machines are going to rise this time! ] Triple the battery life! Awesome! If the domestic machine is to increase the battery life by three times, who will use Apple. 】

What about apples? Apple didn't make any movement this time. 】

[Upstairs you all think too much, this promotion seems to be a breakthrough in the lithium battery industry, since it is a breakthrough in the entire lithium battery industry, then all mobile phones will definitely follow together, Apple can't be so short-sighted. 】

[It seems to have something to do with Kawajin.,Kawajin made that film not long ago.,I heard that it's used to increase battery capacity.] 】

[The battery life is improved, isn't it that the battery life of electric vehicles can also be improved, now 400 kilometers, increased by three times, 1,200 kilometers, hiss~, cow! ] 】

【Kawajin? Isn't he a mathematician? How did you start working on batteries? Kneel down to the elder, dedicate your knees! 】

[I am in my third year of study, I really want to vomit, my graduate thesis is how to solve the problem of lithium dendrite, and I am also ready to study this field for my PhD, but now........ No .......]

[I'm the same, I'm also studying the direction of lithium dendrites, and I'm much more comfortable to see that I'm not the only one who has suffered. 】

[Yun sad, but I want to laugh inexplicably! ] 】

[I went to check it, it's called 'artificial sei film', which is used to solve the problem of lithium dendrites, with this, the anode of the lithium battery can be replaced from graphite to lithium metal, and the battery capacity can be increased from 372mAh/g of the graphite anode to 3860mAh/g of the lithium metal anode!] 】

[Wait?] 372 to 3860? Isn't that tenfold? These dog-day manufacturers only give us three times? 】

[Capitalists, everyone understands (squinting smile), this time I will give you ten times, next time I will not be promoted, if I don't improve, how can I make you pay for it? ] 】

[Let's hang up the street lamp!] Gan! 】

[This is even if the street lights are not enough!] 】

.......

I have to say that Warwick, rice and other manufacturers announced the press conference on the parameter performance of the next generation of mobile phones when the dust has not yet settled on the patent authorization of artificial SEI film, which is indeed shocking.

But with the discussion on the Internet, they did not gain much fame, but rather mixed reputations.

Theoretically, the lithium dendrite problem has been solved, and the performance of lithium batteries can be increased by at least ten times, but these mobile phone manufacturers have only given three times.

This undoubtedly made the originally excited netizens feel deceitful.

The explosion of public opinion instantly turned these manufacturers into 'capitalists' that everyone shouted at.

The strange development of events has made several major mobile phone manufacturers and some battery manufacturers stand up and publicly explain that although the lithium dendrite problem has been solved, the performance improvement of the battery is not something that can be solved at once.

In a hurry, a battery that gives you ten times the performance may have various risks such as explosion, etc.

In addition, they also guarantee that as soon as the battery performance improves, the safety test will be used on their phones immediately.

Coupled with the help and explanation of a big V blogger and the water army, the incident barely subsided.

I have to say that the first batch of crabs is still risky, and if you are not careful, you will be pinched.

After the first shot was fired by domestic manufacturers, other foreign mobile phone manufacturers also caught up with the rhythm and held their own product launches.

Including Apple, which has always been arrogant, also publicly stood up and said that it would greatly improve the battery life of the next generation of mobile phones.

After all, the range of Apple mobile phones has always been criticized by fans.

In addition to the mobile phone industry, there are also new energy vehicles, which have also stood up and said that their car mileage has increased.

But the strange thing is that these manufacturers have almost locked in the range improvement of about three times the original.

It seems that after the technological breakthrough, the lithium battery can really only achieve this limit.

As for whether it is true or false, ordinary people are probably not clear, or have no choice.

......

The breakthrough of lithium battery technology has a continuous impact on all walks of life.

On the other hand, Xu Chuan didn't pay much attention to these things.

After successfully arriving at the Nuclear Energy Research Institute in Qidong, more than a week has passed.

Now that the Nuclear Energy Research Institute and the nuclear waste power plant have basically completed their work, only the final linear particle accelerator and the high-concentration nuclear waste disposal are left.

In a few days, the nuclear waste power plant will begin its first or only full-scale test.

If it is other projects, the test of the product during the project acceptance will definitely not be so sloppy.

However, unlike nuclear waste power generation, the core area will be completely closed due to the high danger of nuclear waste, which will be completely closed after the waste is transported to the core conversion area.

Unless there is a major problem, or the radiation of the nuclear waste inside is depleted, the core area will not be opened again.

Even, whether it is Xu Chuan or the high-level management, they are ready to fully close the entire industrial park in case of an accident in the power generation process.

Without him, it's too dangerous right now.

In the event of a leak of more than 500 tons of high-concentration nuclear waste, at least a dozen kilometers of nearby area will be the hardest hit area.

Of course, this probability is very small, and even if there is a problem, the 'crystalline erbium zirconate' countermaterial deployed up to one meter thick outside the core conversion area can completely store the 500 tons of nuclear waste inside.

It is equivalent to spending more than 10 billion yuan to build a base for storing 500 tons of high-concentration nuclear waste.

In the past, it was actually worth it.

In recent years, as the number of nuclear power plants has increased rapidly, so has the amount of nuclear waste, which is a headache.

China will also spend more and more money on nuclear waste disposal every year, and more than 10 billion yuan is nothing for a huge country.

After all, these are highly radioactive high-level nuclear waste.

But for the nuclear energy project as a whole, this is undoubtedly a failure.

Although a scientific research project cannot always be smooth sailing, failure and problems are the norm, but for Xu Chuan, this project, he only allows success, not failure!
