From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

"Proton battery... what is this thing? Can protons also generate electricity?"

Ma Gaoliang was surprised.

Originally, he came here only to mention this matter with Lin Xiao, and he never thought that such a thing would happen again.

Although the Panasonic Group has developed this powerful hydrogen fuel cell, it is only a hydrogen fuel cell after all. Even if it really develops, it will take some time, so they still have plenty of time to deal with it.

What's more, the future of nuclear fusion is in their hands, and if hydrogen fuel cells want to be fully popularized, they will have to wait until nuclear fusion power plants spread all over the world to enjoy the relevant dividends, so even if they want to deal with this kind of thing in the future It is also very simple, just need to control the application of the nuclear fusion power plant.

So even if Lin Xiao really didn't develop that kind of top-level battery technology, it's not a big problem, but if Lin Xiao can develop this kind of battery, they can get more benefits, and at the same time, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. .

In the end, he never expected that Lin Xiao would actually give him a job.

And proton batteries, don't they sound much more advanced than hydrogen fuel cells?
"A proton can also be understood as a hydrogen ion, so you can treat it as a hydrogen ion battery."

"Protons are hydrogen ions?" Ma Gaoliang was stunned for a long time. In the end, it was probably because all the knowledge about this aspect had been forgotten after so many years, and he couldn't figure out the reason.

However, considering that the person in front of him is their chief scientist, he nodded and said, "I have increased my knowledge."

At this time, he also saw that Chen Gong had brought several kinds of experimental equipment, and then built a laboratory version of the original battery reaction tank, and the reaction tank was not filled with liquid, but a jelly.

This colloid is the colloidal electrolyte they prepared.

At the same time, it can also be seen that in the middle of the colloid, there is a transparent membrane wrapped inside, like a layer of plastic wrap, and this membrane is also a new type of proton exchange membrane synthesized by them.

After a week, they have completed these two materials according to the experiment designed by Lin Xiao, and successfully applied these two materials to the primary battery experiment.

Obviously, the result has completely reached the level that surprised them all.

"The final measurement shows that the mass energy density is 2300 watt-hours per kilogram, while the volumetric energy density is about 4 times that of the current common lithium battery, which is 2400 watt-hours per liter."

"The hydrogen fuel cell of the Panasonic Group has only twice the volumetric energy density of the current ordinary lithium battery."

After Chen Gong glanced at the last measured data, he told Ma Gaoliang the final data.

"Of course, this data is obtained after excluding other influencing factors, and only calculates the volume of the substance participating in the reaction. In fact, if it is applied to a car, this ratio will increase a little bit, because compared with the currently used lithium-ion As far as batteries are concerned, proton batteries do not require a lot of protective equipment, while lithium-ion batteries do.”

"We selected a standard model of pure electric vehicles for calculation. After counting all the additional equipment of proton batteries and ordinary lithium batteries, the volumetric energy density of proton batteries should be seven times that of ordinary lithium batteries, which is Panasonic 3.5 times that of the group's hydrogen fuel cells."

"However, if we can further improve the hydrogen storage capacity of hydrogen storage materials, this value can continue to rise. We roughly calculated that if we can use the latest hydrogen storage materials developed by Panasonic Group, this The multiple can probably be increased from 3.5 times to 5 times."

Hearing the data reported by Chen Gong, Ma Gaoliang's face was not only surprised, but also shocked.

"You... this... how did you do it?"

The ratio was several times, and for a moment, he was even a little unsure if there was something wrong with his ears.

When can these energy densities double?

Let’s talk about the mass energy density first, 400 watt-hours per kilogram, and now the most powerful lithium-ion batteries can only reach 200 watt-hours per kilogram in terms of mass energy density, and the batteries on ordinary pure electric vehicles are also That's less than [-] watt-hours per kilogram.

As a result, this proton battery can actually reach [-] watt-hours per kilogram, an increase of about ten times, which is enough to shock him. This kind of battery is absolutely the most perfect battery for the rocket, after all, it is enough light.

And this volume energy density is even more astonishing. Although the multiple is not as high as ten times the mass energy density, as long as you compare it with the hydrogen fuel cell of the Panasonic Group, you can clearly see how strong it is.

3.5 times, it seems that this magnification is not very high, but if it is replaced by the battery life of the car, it is that if the hydrogen fuel cell of the Panasonic Group can make a car last 700 kilometers, then the proton battery is used. The car can achieve a range of 2450 kilometers.

2450 km!

The straight-line distance from Shangjing to Lhasa is only about 2500 kilometers, and if you drive, it is 3900 kilometers. There are hundreds of kilometers left, which can be used for people to travel around Lhasa.

Of course, these are nothing, what Ma Gaoliang knows in his heart is that this will be a huge boost to the coming era of nuclear fusion power generation.

Because the larger the capacity of the battery, the more conducive to the use of electricity.

Just like when digging for treasure, the larger the capacity of the truck, the more gold coins that can be transported at one time, and the higher the efficiency.

Now nuclear fusion power generation is such a treasure, and as a tool to dig this treasure, the battery is the truck. At this time, the greater the energy density of the battery, the more gold coins it can transport.

In this way, their human society will be able to enjoy the benefits of nuclear fusion faster in the future.

Of course, the most important thing is that this battery is now in their hands.

Thinking of this, a brighter smile appeared on Ma Gaoliang's face.

He patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Chief Lin, Chief Lin, you deserve it!"

"Sure enough, I'm right this time, otherwise I really don't know that you have made such a big deal!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help asking: "Speaking of which, since you figured it out yesterday, why didn't you hear it yesterday?"

"Well." Lin Xiao spread his hands, "I'm still planning to make a new type of hydrogen storage material, and I'm planning to do research after I get this hydrogen storage material out."

Hearing Lin Xiao's plan, Ma Gaoliang suddenly felt speechless, "This is 3.5 times that of others, isn't it enough?"

"How is this possible?" Lin Xiao said with a smile: "They are so arrogant, and that guy named Makoto Matsushita seems to touch me a lot during a press conference, right? Can this be tolerated? Don't fuck him."

Ma Gaoliang was even more speechless, "Of course I agree with you thinking so, but you are already able to fuck him now, do you plan to wait until you are dressed in a magic costume?"

Lin Xiao raised his brows, "You actually know a magic costume?"

"It's not that I didn't play games when I was young." Ma Gaoliang shrugged, and then said: "Forget it, I don't care about these things, how about this, I will contact the people from CCTV and ask them to do an interview for you first , then you can briefly talk about the results of your battery."

"The people of the Panasonic Group are so arrogant. We can't understand it. Now it's time for you to take a look. As for the hydrogen storage material, we can study it later. Anyway, it doesn't get in the way. How about it? Think about it?"

Looking at Ma Gaoliang's expression of wanting to let his neighbors who are living a good life have a bad life, and Chen Gong and Kang Chengning next to him also have the same expression, Lin Xiao shook his head and said :"alright."

Ma Gaoliang smiled, then patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, then I look forward to your performance on CCTV. To be honest, if you look online more often, you will know how many people on the Internet are looking forward to it. It’s your slap in the face, so try your best to behave, um… how should I put it, be more awesome than them.”

Lin Xiao said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I got it."

"Okay, I'll go first." Ma Gaoliang smiled and waved his hands, and then left.

Lin Xiao rubbed his chin, and then asked Chen Gong next to him: "Is that what people say on the Internet?"

"Of course it's true." Chen Gong nodded, "Who made that Makoto Matsushita so arrogant, especially when he always touched your porcelain at the press conference, you saw it, and the netizens were of course very angry .”

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, "That's right, okay, then let me think about how to behave more awesomely then."

Then he waved his hand: "Okay, you guys can continue with the experiment."

"Okay!" Chen Gong and the others responded, and continued the experiment.

……

A few days later.

BYD headquarters.

"Mr. Li, this is tomorrow's schedule."

Sitting in the CEO's office, Li Cai took the schedule handed over by his secretary, glanced at it briefly, and put it aside.

"Well, I see."

Rubbing his head, he felt a little tired after a busy day.

At this time, his secretary suddenly asked again: "It's time for the news broadcast soon, do you want to watch it today?"

Hearing these words, Li Cai nodded, stood up and said, "Let's take a look today, just let me have a good rest."

"Ok."

The secretary nodded, and then went to turn on the TV, and Li Cai also walked over.

Hearing the familiar prelude, Li Cai focused on watching the TV.

The first few things are mainly about some important meetings and so on, and after talking about these important meetings, we will enter some news that happened in China.

And the first news is impressively about reports on areas without electricity and areas short of electricity.

Seeing this news, Li Cai's eyes lit up. After all, their company has recently been helping these areas without electricity and areas short of electricity according to Lin Xiao's request, and now this matter is reported on the news network , Does it mean that the country has also paid attention to their company's actions in this regard?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel happy.

The past few days have been hard for him, after all, the hydrogen fuel cells of the Panasonic Group are now staring at them.

After reading the relevant specifications of the hydrogen fuel cell of the Panasonic Group, he can be sure that this battery is extremely threatening to them.

Although their family has a big business, it is impossible to suffer huge losses because of this hydrogen fuel cell, but what needs to be considered is their market for new energy vehicles.

In recent years, their development in new energy vehicles can be described as very rapid. As early as several years ago, there was a situation where production capacity was not as good as sales.

This is inseparable from their relationship as both a battery company and a new energy company.

And once hydrogen fuel cells become mainstream in the future, the impact on them will of course be huge.

Now, he can only pin his hopes on the new battery technology that Lin Xiao is researching.

Of course, there is also a premise, that is, they can win from the process of competing with Ningde era.

Thinking of this, he immediately asked his secretary: "How is the current situation of our power aid plan? And Ningde era, how is their thunder-chasing operation?"

"We have obtained a total population of 564, and 34 electric wire construction permits in concentrated areas without electricity, with a total investment of about [-] billion."

"The lightning-chasing action in the Ningde era probably covered more than 2 people, and the permits for 389 residential areas without electricity. According to the data marked on their official website, the total investment is 30 billion."

The secretary replied, and at the same time sighed with emotion: "This is really a waste of money."

The reason why there are hundreds of districts with a population of only tens of thousands of people is because the living areas of the people in these impoverished areas are relatively scattered, and all of them exist in the form of small villages. Hundreds of people.

And such a scattered way of living together makes the circuits they build very scattered, and the cost they bring also becomes higher.

Li Cai nodded and said, "Well, for things like this, only the State Grid Corporation of China is the most suitable to do it—oh, it should be called Jinwu Energy Group now, after all, state-owned enterprises have an inherent advantage in doing this kind of thing. .”

The secretary nodded, and couldn't help but said, "I just don't know where Chief Lin is... If he chooses the Ningde era in the end, our billions will be nothing but a bamboo basket."

Hearing the secretary's worry, Li Cai was silent for a moment. He was also not sure about this matter, but then he said: "We don't have to think about anything now, just do our things well."

"I still had Kang Zheng from Ningde that day. After chatting with Chief Lin for a while, I realized that for our chief scientist, you just need to do your own thing well. In the end, I believe that he will make a fair judgment. Like Ningde era, they didn't invite any media to help publicize this matter, and that kid Kang Zheng must be aware of it."

"All in all, it's fine to be ashamed of your heart. Maybe Chief Lin won't let us down when he sees that we have paid so much?"

Hearing Li Cai's words, the secretary nodded and said in admiration, "You still make sense, as long as we have a clear conscience."

"Ah."

Li Cai nodded, and when he was about to reach for the water glass next to him, he suddenly heard the voice of the news anchor on the TV.

"Recently, with the influence brought by controllable nuclear fusion, there has been an upsurge of scientific research on the future utilization of fusion energy in the world. Among them, the research on battery technology has attracted the attention of the scientific community."

"Take the hydrogen fuel cell newly developed by Japan's Panasonic Group as an example. Compared with the current popular lithium-ion battery, this battery has a better energy density, and its battery life can be completely on par with fuel vehicles. At the same time, it also avoids the link of charging, and to a certain extent, it may become the mainstream of new energy vehicles in the future..."

Seeing the news on the news, Li Cai frowned immediately.

"Eh? Why is this promoting the Japanese?"

And the secretary next to him couldn't help but feel a burst of anger.

"That's right, isn't this growing his ambition?"

How could this kind of news appear on CCTV?

Li Cai frowned, but he didn't come to a conclusion first, "Wait, let's read the news first, maybe it's because you want to promote before suppressing?"

The secretary also nodded, put down the anger in his heart temporarily, and watched quietly.

Subsequently, the news continued to introduce the hydrogen fuel cell of Panasonic Group, mainly talking about the excellent performance of this hydrogen fuel cell and the important breakthroughs achieved in internal technology.

Although the more he heard it, the more uncomfortable it became, but Li Cai was the CEO of such a big company anyway, so he became more and more depressed and didn't say anything.

But at this time, the story of the news really took a turning point.

I saw that the screen turned and entered the sky above a building complex, and this building complex was quickly recognized by Li Cai. This is the Dingguang Research Institute!

His eyes suddenly lit up, could it be...

"Recently, Academician Lin, my country's chief scientist, academician of the Academy of Sciences, academician of the Academy of Engineering, and director of the Dingguang Research Institute, led a team to develop another new type of battery called a proton battery. According to Academician Lin Xiao, the battery has a volumetric energy density It is more than 3.5 times that of Panasonic Group's hydrogen fuel cell..."

Li Cai could no longer listen to the following content, and only the last few words he heard echoed in his mind.

[It is more than 3.5 times that of Panasonic Group's hydrogen fuel cell]

"My goodness..."
