"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Xu Yun, thank you for your recognition, I'm Ivan, the editor-in-chief of Nature Magazine." Ivan, who came from the rest area of the solid-state battery laboratory, finally took the initiative to greet Xu Yun after seeing him, and immediately introduced his companions after clarifying his identity: "This is Assistant Julie and Professor Tonaco of our editorial board. ”

Xu Yun originally wondered why he didn't receive a publication notice from Nature after his paper was accepted.

After receiving the call, I realized that the editorial board of Nature took the initiative to come.

Speaking of the academic value of solid-state batteries, it is relatively normal to attract the editor-in-chief, after all, the more such large project results, the more cautious and serious.

However, there was also an acquaintance with him, which surprised him.

I remember that when he said at the Abel Prize ceremony that he was going to apply theoretical mathematics to materials chemistry research, the professor Tonaco openly said in an interview that he was not very optimistic about his decision.

He also watched the related video.

However, as the so-called visitor is a guest, the etiquette and demeanor that should be maintained as a host.

No matter what kind of ideas the other party comes to us, the superficial work must be in place.

At this point, a smile quickly appeared on Xu Yun's face, and he responded to the few people in front of him.

"Welcome Editor-in-Chief Ivan to Jingzhou City, please take a seat."

Very enthusiastic.

After everyone sat down on the sofa next to them, the reception staff from the company brought a few cups of brewed tea, and then immediately turned around and left the room to leave Xu Yun and them to talk in detail.

"I didn't expect Mr. Xu Yun to look younger than rumored, and there are many people in our editorial department who are your fans."

Julie boldly looked at Xu Yun and took the lead in opening her mouth to provoke the topic, although she is Asian, she has an overseas straightforwardness.

may be because of the similarity of hair color and image, Xu Yun has a good impression of this lady.

He stopped in his hand when he wanted to pick up the teacup in front of him, smiled and said, "It's my honor to be liked by so many people." ”

Only then did he pick up the cup again, and he didn't forget to remind the other party when he was at the same time as his chest.

"I don't know if Ms. Zhu still likes tea, but you can try the best Da Hong Pao prepared by our company."

"Thank you."

Julie didn't refuse, thanked her, picked up the cup in front of her and put it to her lips and tasted it.

Ivan, with a brown beard, was obviously not used to drinking tea, so he got down to business.

"We're here to do an interview with you, and it's going to be the cover of the next issue."

Xu Yun was overjoyed when he heard this, he knew very well the difference between being simply accepted and being used as a cover.

There really is no reason to refuse this.

"Absolutely."

Without much hesitation, he agreed.

"That's great, this solid-state battery achievement in your laboratory will definitely cause a global sensation." When Ivan heard Xu Yun's answer, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he complimented him from the bottom of his heart and continued: "In addition, Professor Tonako is also amazed by your research, and this time I came here to communicate with you, Mr. Xu Yun. ”

Tonaco remained silent from the moment he sat down on the couch, embarrassed by the remarks he had made in an earlier interview.

So much so that I couldn't find a chance to talk.

Now seeing that Ivan took the initiative to turn the topic to himself, he first cast a grateful look, and then stood up and expressed his apologies to Xu Yun.

"I'm so sorry."

"Some time ago, I bothered you because of my wrong remarks, and now I understand what a true genius is."

"You've surpassed me in your research on chemical materials."

Xu Yun was able to develop a new solid electrolyte material for solid-state batteries, and successfully reduced the production cost to almost the same extent as a lithium battery.

Therefore, there is no shame in admitting that others are better than you.

On the contrary, the remarks made during the interview were even more humiliating.

If you can give him a chance to choose, then you won't question Xu Yun no matter what.

Listening to all of Tonako's words, Xu Yun didn't know what to say.

I really didn't expect the other party to come over from thousands of miles away, but it was to apologize.

In any case, the other party is also an authoritative senior expert in the field of chemical materials.

The results of the research have also contributed to the development of materials.

It is true that other professors can admit their mistakes in such a low profile.

It's normal for Tornaco to have that kind of speculation at the beginning, after all, he switched from mathematics to chemical materials halfway, and put it on normal people, not to mention that he has achieved something in a short period of time, but I'm afraid he is still in the stage of learning and understanding.

But Xu Yun belongs to an alternative among geniuses, and there is no way to infer it with common sense.

What's more, when he received the Abel Prize, he had already obtained solid-state battery technology.

Completely confident.

For the older generation of scientific researchers like Tornaco, Xu Yun still admires and respects him.

Since people have done it to this extent, he will definitely not serve a shelf.

"Professor Tonak is serious about the fact that there is more to the field of chemical materials than solid-state battery materials."

"There's a lot I need to ask you for."

He quickly got up and beckoned Tornaco to sit down again, and said something that was true.

When both sides talked about it to this extent, they naturally tacitly stopped mentioning the previous interview.

Then Ivan was also a little impatient, thinking that he would finish the interview as soon as possible and save himself from delaying the publication of the next issue of the magazine.

In this case, Xu Yun was more cooperative, and even called the other two people in this project.

When Ivan and Tonak learned of such a large research result, and that there were only three people in charge of the project, their expressions froze at all, and they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

"It's a miracle that only three people have completely solved the all-solid-state battery technology."

"It's incredible."

In the face of praise from the editor-in-chief of Nature magazine and industry authorities, Wan Xiaoyong and Lu Yi are embarrassed to take credit for themselves.

hurriedly opened his mouth to tell the truth.

"We are just serving as Mr. Xu's scientific research assistants, and the entire project and research results are basically completed by Mr. Xu."

As soon as these words came out, the others present were stunned, and they couldn't help but gasp.

At this time, Xu Yun did not pretend to be modest, and reminded Ivan with a smile on his face.

"Editor-in-chief Ivan, we can start the interview."

"Okay."

"Okay."

Ivan, who was awakened by this sentence, realized it later.

replied to Xu Yun twice in a row, and hurriedly put his eyes on Julie next to him and gave instructions.

"Hurry up and set up the equipment."

"It's the editor-in-chief."

Julie, who was accompanying her as an assistant, did not dare to hesitate when she heard this, and hurriedly took action.

Because of nature being journals and magazines, interviews are presented in the form of manuscripts.

Basically, it is to ask about the mental process in the research of the project, and does not involve specific technical data.

There are only three people in the entire project team: Xu Yun, Lu Yi and Wan Xiaoyong.

The interview was easy with few people, and it only took about an hour to finish.

During this period, Xu Yun also deliberately displayed the battery samples in the laboratory as a cover.

After the interview, Ivan just wanted to publish it in the journal as soon as possible, so he didn't stay in Jingzhou City for long before hurrying back.

However, Tornaco stayed for a few more days and discussed the content knowledge of materials chemistry with Xu Yun.

Time passes quickly like a white horse, and after solving the interview with Nature Magazine, Xu Yun also quickly completed the application materials for the selection of outstanding young people, and according to the previous selection process, the selection meeting will probably end next month and announce the list in July.

In late May, the latest issue of Nature magazine was finally launched.

The cover is a battery sample made by Deepin Technology Solid-State Battery Laboratory.

The magazine not only announced that low-cost all-solid-state batteries had been conquered, but also gave high praise to authoritative professors such as Tornaco.

Previously, Deepin Technology has published scientific research results and data, and now with Nature as an authoritative certification, the relevant news will soon spread rapidly on the whole network and fall into boiling.

The biggest reaction to this news was undoubtedly the users of the Internet, who did not expect Professor Tonako's remarks to change so quickly.

Two months ago, he swore that Xu Yun could not achieve much in chemical materials, and in a blink of an eye, he spoke highly of it and took the initiative to admit his wrong speculation.

However, this also makes everyone understand that Xu Yun's research on low-cost all-solid-state battery technology is true.

Soon there was a heated discussion on YouTube Twitter and other platforms.

Seeing that the battery market is about to be monopolized by Xu Yun's deep technology, I can't help but worry about the future.

"Has even Professor Tonaco changed his tune, and the other party has really mastered all-solid-state battery technology?"

"What does our battery company do, so many years of research is actually no better than a few months."

"It seems that the battery industry is about to change."

"Isn't this talent too powerful, the other party shouldn't be an alien."

"My God."

"Our country's enterprises have long researched batteries with stronger energy density, and they can't monopolize the global battery market."

……

When Deepin Technology made an announcement before, it did not cause the official media to report on the situation because the situation was not clear for the time being.

This is also part of the reason why some netizens questioned this.

But this time it's a different story.

Nature magazine not only released real sample photos of Deepin all-solid-state batteries.

It is also specially published on the cover.

Coupled with the recognition of many authoritative experts in this field in the world, it shows that Deepin Technology has indeed mastered the all-solid-state battery technology.

In the face of this kind of good news worthy of celebration, it is natural that major official media have reported it.

And it is also deliberately broadcast on the evening news.

Relevant situations indicate that a prelude to the battery revolution has been officially opened.

At first, many netizens thought that this research was in the theoretical stage.

It's still early for commercial use.

As a result, I didn't expect that the battery had already been made, and the thought that I would soon be able to use a solid-state battery immediately became emotional.

Even domestic battery companies have been set up, so that they can hurry up to find in-depth scientific and technological cooperation.

In addition to new energy vehicles, mobile phone manufacturers can only find ways to develop fast charging to improve the charging speed of mobile phones.

But if you switch to an all-solid-state battery, then there will be a huge change.

First of all, the energy density of solid-state batteries is three times that of lithium batteries, and the smaller size can not only improve the battery life of the mobile phone, but also reduce the weight of the mobile phone to a certain extent.

In a way, it is equivalent to promoting the development of mobile phones, which will indeed make people look forward to it.

It is not an exaggeration to say that under the hot search on the whole network, at this time, if you go into a group of penguins that are usually active, you can see that there are friends talking about it.

There are basically two words in the words.

Fiery.

If anyone doesn't know about this, it's definitely because they have just come out of the deep mountains and old forests and are lagging behind in information.

"Directly on the cover of Nature magazine, Xu Shen really never does something that he is not sure of."

"I really didn't expect this solid-state battery to be made, judging from the photos, it is thin and light, and I heard that it can be folded at will without fear of cold environments, and the safety is very high."

"I've already bought a house with the money, when will I buy a car after a solid-state battery new energy vehicle, brothers, do I do it right?"

"I can't wait for a moment now, let's get into production quickly."

"I went around the Internet just now, and I found that someone said that Xu Shen was an alien, and he was really going to die of laughter."

"I'm looking forward to the other two labs of Xu Shen's deep technology, maybe there will be great results at that time."

"I don't know which battery company can reach cooperation with Deepin Technology, and the size of Ningwang should be no problem, right?"

……

The Ningde era, which was mentioned by netizens, was also filled with a tense atmosphere at the same time.

Departments knew there was going to be a tough battle ahead.

Winning the battle is undoubtedly a step forward for the company.

But if you lose, you will never recover.

During this time, they basically determined the authenticity of deepin technology to conquer all-solid-state batteries through various means.

Now that the research results are on the cover of Nature magazine, this is even more confirmation.

At this time, it is necessary to seize the opportunity and reach cooperation with Deepin Technology as soon as possible.

"Chairman."

"This is the latest issue of Nature Magazine, and we were right."

In the Ningde Times Science and Technology Building, Li Ping, who is the chief engineer of battery technology in the chairman's office, put a magazine on the table and did not hide the excitement on his face.

As a researcher of battery technology, I am naturally happy to see that my peers have made such a big technological breakthrough.

Zeng Kequn, the chairman of the board who was sitting in the boss's chair, raised his eyes and looked at the magazine on the table without looking through it.

Then he raised his gaze and responded in a deep voice.

"I already know the situation, and now the top priority is to establish contact with Deepin Technology as soon as possible."

"Licensing this technology is going to be done anyway."

"We have tried to contact Deepin Technology, but so far we have not received a response." Li Ping answered truthfully in the face of the chairman's instructions, and after reporting the situation, he added: "But I think other companies should be in the same situation as us." ”

"There is no doubt that the technology is very mature, and whoever gets it will be able to start mass production immediately."

"With such high value, Deepin Technology will not easily choose partners."

Speaking of this, Li Ping deliberately paused for a few seconds, leaving Zeng Kequn time to think about the relevant issues.

With a silence in the office, I don't know how long it took to see Zeng Kequn looking at Li Ping and throwing out a more critical question.

"If we can have the opportunity to cooperate with the other party, what kind of bargaining chips do you think will be able to win the project?"

Faced with this question, Li Ping's face suddenly became solemn, and after careful thinking, he gave a general range.

"The significance of this technology is different, and it is definitely much higher than the cost of technology licensing in the industry."

"I'm afraid it's 30 percent of the price of the battery, and it doesn't require exclusive technology licensing."

The voice reached Zeng Kequn's ears, and his brows suddenly couldn't help but wrinkle slightly.

The selling price of batteries is closely related to the cost price, and it is certainly not possible to arbitrarily price and disrupt the operation of the industry.

If 30% of the price of the battery is handed over to Deepin Technology as a technology licensing fee, then their profits will definitely be limited after removing the production cost of the battery.

Not to mention that exclusive licensing is not required.

However, the market for solid-state batteries will definitely far exceed traditional lithium batteries at that time.

So on the whole, there is only good for them, and there is no harm in it, not to mention that the right to speak is not in them at all.

If you can't get the technology authorization of Deepin Technology, it will not be a question of how much profit you can make, and whether the company can guarantee market share is a big problem.

Thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and finally he seemed to have finally made a decision.

His eyes became firm.

"First find a way to contact Mr. Xu of Deepin Technology, and I will meet with the other party no matter what."

"I'll do it." Li Ping nodded and replied.

And just when the Ningde era began to act, Panasonic, LG New Energy, Samsung and other companies could no longer sit still.

High-level personnel have been dispatched to Jingzhou City, and it can be said that they are all determined to obtain the authorization of this technology.

The main thing is that they are not confident that their battery technology can reach the level of deep technology.

In this case, there is no other way but to use other people's technology, otherwise you can only watch your market share be taken away.

Xu Yun is also paying attention to the changes in the industry, and he also wants to finalize the technology licensing as soon as possible.

After all, he is not very interested in business matters, and the technology licensing is mainly to ensure that the company's several laboratories are fully funded.

What's more, the project of the automation module robot is about to start, and he really doesn't want to delay the company for too long.

"Mr. Xu."

"The company has received a lot of information from domestic and overseas battery companies, and they all want to meet with you."

In the office of the president of Longfor Science and Technology Park, Meng Songyan reported to Xu Yun the latest trends of other companies.

Xu Yun was not surprised to hear this result, the all-solid-state battery technology has become so hot in the world, if those battery companies do not take action, it is really better to go out of business and leave the market to others.

It's just that he doesn't have that much time to meet them one by one, so he thinks about it for a while and makes arrangements directly.

"Pick a time to invite them over, and say that we will determine the partner when the time comes."
