Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 2609 Solid State Battery

"This child's skin color is different. If you don't care about him being discriminated against, just make your own decision."

Liu Xiangdong's eldest son spoke very objectively. He did not express his opposition directly, but instead pointed out the most crucial issue.

Liu Xiangdong had made up his mind at this time: "Yang Geyong's twelve sons don't care about me, what can I be afraid of? If I'm gone, you still have to take care of them."

His son didn't respond and the call was hung up.

Liu Xiangdong could understand his son's feelings. His grandson was already so big, it would be strange for him to be happy if he gave someone a little brother.

But it doesn't matter. I have a lot of savings, enough for this child to grow up. As for the other children, Liu Xiangdong can't take care of them. Isn't there anything he can do?
Old John was very diligent in taking drugs. If Liu Xiangdong hadn't stopped him, he would have drunk the drugs as if they were soda.

The main reason is that Liu Xiangdong has already started preparing for Butterfly to get pregnant, and he is anxious. He must not lose.

As for his attempt to persuade Ye Wancheng to take drugs with him, Ye Wancheng ignored him. Although he was old, Ye Wancheng had not lost any of his functions.

His two wives need help from time to time, so how could he not take care of them on a regular basis?

In the past, their research and development direction was on oral medications, but now they are developing an injection that directly targets the lesions.

Of course, this cycle will definitely not be short. The product is not yet completely successful, and clinical trials are required, which will take time.

But a few people have long been accustomed to it. Ye Wancheng has been retired for more than ten years and has long been accustomed to this kind of life.

It took them five years to develop their first drug, and they eventually won the Nobel Prize.

Research and development is the most time-consuming and expensive job in the world. Not only do you have to endure loneliness, but you also have to face countless failures. People with poor psychological quality really can't do this kind of thing.

Fortunately, the three old men are patient enough and used to this kind of life, which is why they can achieve such success.

In fact, the people who are now holding the key positions in Junken City are still old men, including Mr. Ni from Junken Mechanical and Electrical and the three old men from the Pharmaceutical Research Institute.

That is, the people on the engine side are younger, including Ivan and his friends.

However, reserve forces have also been cultivated. For example, in the research and development of batteries this time, two young people are the main players.

At the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research, Yuan Kewang and his team had already taken charge of major research and development tasks; all they lacked was the right timing.

Ye Yuze attaches great importance to the reserve of talents. He knows best that a gap is the most terrible thing for any enterprise.

As for enterprise development, production capacity and strict management are important, but they are by no means the focus. The most important thing is the upgrading of products.

The biggest drawback of Chinese enterprises today is in R&D. State-owned enterprises have too many employees and are ranked based on seniority.

The truly capable people cannot get R&D funds, while those who can get R&D funds focus on interpersonal relationships and can no longer concentrate on their work.

How can those who are truly capable be willing to focus on research and development under such people? The money is not much, and the results belong to others. This is the main reason for talent loss.

In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening in the Warrior Group, Ye Yuze had already made a rule that anyone, as long as they had a suitable project, could apply for independent research and development.

The Warrior Group’s current achievements are also the result of this regulation.

Warrior Group is an enterprise, and everything is based on results. Once a product is produced, you will naturally be rewarded handsomely. As for the paper, that is your own business. You can publish it however you want. The enterprise will not interfere, nor will it take the credit for itself.

Wang Nannan excitedly pushed open Wang Lina's door with a stack of test reports.

"Boss Wang, Boss Wang, it worked, it worked!"

Wang Lina looked at the girl helplessly and complained:
"You don't know how to knock again, do you?"

Wang Nannan stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, turned around and walked out. Wang Lina was about to call her, but the girl started knocking on the door.

"Is Mr. Wang here? I'm here to report the situation."

Wang Lina didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Young people nowadays are so naughty.

So he angrily scolded: "Why are you going out after you've come in? It's unnecessary."

This time, Wang Nannan threw the test form directly on Wang Lina's desk.

"The solid-state battery has been successful. It can travel 2,000 kilometers on a full charge."

When she said this, the little girl's expression was full of pride, even a little arrogant.

"Ning Ken figured it out, right?"

Wang Lina asked.

Wang Nannan nodded: "Of course, who else has this ability?"

When saying this, Wang Nannan raised her little head high, as if this thing was made by her.

Wang Lina couldn't help but laugh and joked:
"They were willing to do it, why are you so proud?"

The little girl's face turned red, she glanced at Wang Lina and stammered:

"Aren't I happy for him?"

Wang Lina did not reveal it and just lowered her head to read the test report.

Solid-state batteries are a type of battery technology that uses solid electrodes and solid electrolytes, unlike the lithium-ion batteries and lithium-ion polymer batteries commonly used today.

As the scientific community believes that lithium-ion batteries have reached their limits, solid-state batteries have been seen in recent years as batteries that can succeed lithium-ion batteries.

Solid-state lithium battery technology uses a glass compound made of lithium and sodium as a conductive material to replace the electrolyte of previous lithium batteries, greatly improving the energy density of lithium batteries.

This thing has always been just a concept, but unexpectedly it was actually developed by Ning Ken.

Wang Lina's heart was also filled with pride.

The original purpose of developing electric vehicles was to increase the diversity of the automobile market.

With the global energy shortage, oil prices are getting higher day by day and are also controlled by some major countries.

Just like those who grow crops cannot sell their products at a good price, and those who eat crops cannot buy cheap products, they are all monopolized by middlemen.

The same goes for oil. They use the US dollar to monopolize the market. The oil prices in oil-producing countries are very low, while end users have been using high-priced oil.

However, these middlemen are making a lot of money. This is the power of capital.

China's oil reserves have always been a shortcoming. Although there are several large oil fields, they are undoubtedly a drop in the bucket in the face of growing demand.

Electric vehicles are naturally the most ideal model to replace fuel vehicles at present, although their battery life cannot be compared with that of fuel vehicles.

When Wang Lina did this, she originally just wanted to replace those family cars that did not travel long distances, but she hit the mark unexpectedly and accidentally made a big deal out of it.

Now, the success of solid-state batteries heralds the coming of another great revolution in automotive history.

Wang Lina suppressed her inner excitement, and seeing the little girl looking at her anxiously, she couldn't help but make a joke.

"You haven't won yet? They say men conquer the world and women conquer men. What else can you do?"

Wang Nannan, who is usually fierce and aggressive, lowered her head and muttered softly.

"It's just a piece of wood, what can I do?" Wang Lina said "Oh" and then looked regretful.

"Alas, it seems that this guy doesn't like you. I will find a few pretty girls to seduce him. Such a talent cannot be abducted by a woman from outside."

Wang Nannan's eyes suddenly widened: "Boss Wang, you can't do this!"

Wang Nannan knew how powerful Ms. Wang was. The sales company she founded was filled with beautiful women, each of whom had special skills that ordinary men could not handle.

If a few people were really sent, Wang Nannan had no confidence that the wooden man would remain indifferent.

So she quickly stood up and said goodbye: "Boss Wang, when will the bonus be paid? I can go tell him."

It was customary for a major invention to receive a personal after-tax bonus of one million. Ning Ken had received this kind of reward three times.

Wang Lina pondered for a moment: "There are three people in their group, right? This invention is subversive. I'd rather give three million to each of the two assistants, one million!"

Wang Nannan cheered and ran out, and Wang Lina shouted:
"You have a million too!"

But Wang Nannan had long disappeared. Perhaps the girl didn’t care whether she had one million or not and was only excited for Ning Ken.

Wang Lina shook her head again. This girl was too naive. If she had a little bit of scheming, she would have taken down that piece of wood long ago.

Wang Nannan ran out of Wang Lina's office and rushed into the research building next door.

Because the Battery Research Institute is a newly established department, founded by Wang Lina, it has not been incorporated into the group's R&D organization, but is a subsidiary of the engine company.

Wang Lina discussed this matter with Ye Yuze, and Ye Yuze agreed. To put it bluntly, Ye Yuze did not have much hope for the research and development of batteries.

After all, this is a historical problem. The previous article introduced the development history of batteries. In fact, the history of electric vehicles is earlier than that of fuel vehicles.

The reason why it has not developed is because of the battery life issue, and the existing materials simply cannot solve this problem.

The last breakthrough was because Kevin stole someone else's invention and made some improvements based on it, which led to the current battery life.

However, this range is fine for a housewife to drive, but once you need to travel long distances, it will just be a decoration.

Although charging stations have begun to be built in various places, the restrictions are still severe in comparison.

But if the range of electric vehicles reaches more than 2,000 kilometers, then this problem will be solved.

Wang Lina was very excited. After walking around the office for a few times, she told Ye Yuze the news.

Ye Yuze was also very happy, but he had been through so many ups and downs that this matter did not cause any waves in his heart. He just said lightly:
"A big reward!"

After being together for so many years, Wang Lina naturally knows Ye Yuze very well.

Being able to let him say these two words is already a high compliment.

She smiled and told Ye Yuze the bonus amount she had just decided on, and Ye Yuze agreed.

Then Ye Yuze asked: "Can the mileage of this solid-state battery be increased if it is further developed?"

Wang Lina complained: "I sent the data to your email last time when we were developing it, but you definitely didn't read it. Two thousand kilometers is the minimum range because it's the basic version. The extended range will reach a number that will scare you."

Ye Yuze sighed: "Are fuel vehicles going to be eliminated?"

Wang Lina affirmed: "It will take some time, but the trend of electric vehicles replacing fuel vehicles is unstoppable."

Ye Yuze lit a cigarette, stared into the distance for a while, and said with emotion:

"It's only been a few years. The engine company I founded is about to be replaced by your batteries."

Wang Lina smiled and quickly consoled him: "It won't be replaced. Large trucks, ships, and aircraft engines still have to use fuel."

Ye Yuze nodded: "Lina, thank you!"

Wang Lina cursed, "You are so hypocritical. If you really want to thank me, why didn't you agree to my request for a child? And you let that bastard Yang Geyong do it. Until now, he has not even looked at the child!"

Ye Yuze glanced at Yang Geyong who was instructing the children to practice, and said awkwardly:

"Sister, there are some things you can't help with, otherwise it will be a mess."

Wang Lina pouted: "Your brother is willing to help with everything, why can't you do that?"

Ye Yuze was speechless. He wanted to say something bad about Yang Geyong, but in the end he said nothing. They were of the same kind, so no one should step on each other.

In fact, the main reason was that he was too familiar with Wang Lina and couldn't bring himself to do it.

Ning Ken was carefully recording the data. Different types of batteries were placed on several devices, and battery life experiments were being conducted.

At that time, it was originally decided that Ning Ken would be the director of the institute, but this R&D fanatic had no time to waste on administration, so the position fell to Wang Nannan.

Wang Nannan ran to his side, climbed up to his ear and whispered:
"Ning Ken, President Wang has decided to reward you 300 million this time."

Ning Ken looked up at Wang Nannan for a moment, then shook his head:

"We spent so much money on research and development, why do you want to reward me so much just after the success? Just give Lao Sun and Xiao Li a million yuan as a reward, I don't want a cent."

Lao Sun and Xiao Li beside them looked at Ning Ken with emotion, not knowing what to say.
Wang Nannan looked at this piece of wood and stamped her feet in anger:

"Why not? Why don't you buy a house and get married?"

Ning Ken pushed his glasses and said, "Don't be ridiculous. Who would follow me if I'm so poor?"

Old Sun on the side couldn't stand it any longer: "Xiao Ning, Wang Nannan is almost proposing to you, are you really stupid?"

Ning Ken looked at Lao Sun, then at Wang Nannan, and cast a questioning look at them.

Wang Nannan was so angry that she pushed him forward and said, "Silly, we need this bonus. We need to buy a house and get married!"

Ning Ken then said "Oh", "Okay, just tell me when the time comes to collect it, and then you can use it to buy a house."

Wang Nannan's eyes widened and she glared at him: "So do you love me or not? You have to show it, right?"

Ning Ken gave her a strange look and said, "Do I dare to marry anyone else except you?"

"Pfft!"

Old Sun and Little Li couldn't hold back and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Wang Nannan was naturally dissatisfied and grabbed Ning Ken who was about to leave.

"You mean you were forced by me? You can marry someone else, you can chase the girl you like."

Ning Ken broke away from her: "Don't make trouble, we don't have time for that. If you have time, go and look at the house!"

Wang Nannan looked at this funny guy in silence, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. What kind of person had she fallen in love with?

At this time, Ning Ken called Lao Sun and said, "This battery is getting a little hot. Please analyze the cause and see if the lithium ratio is too high."

Free monthly tickets are available at the beginning of the month. Salute!
