From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 470 Complete new hydrogen storage material, proton battery

"What? The Matsushita family of the Matsushita Group, the current head of the family suddenly died of a heart attack?"

When Lin Xiao heard the news, he felt a little surprised. Of course, he still had doubts, "But what does this matter have to do with me?"

Ma Gaoliang spread his hands and said: "Of course this matter has something to do with you, and it has a lot to do with you."

"Don't talk nonsense, I'll sue you for slander!" Lin Xiao repeatedly shook his head in refusal, "I don't want to inexplicably bear my life, not to mention that this Matsushita man is in his 80s, and died of a heart attack. A normal thing?"

Ma Gaoliang couldn't help laughing, and said, "Did you forget something? The record of interviewing you a few days ago was put on the evening news yesterday."

"I know... oh, uh, I know." At this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly reacted, and then his face was speechless: "Damn, this is outrageous, that old guy just because of this incident, and then Just hang up? They are over 80 years old, so the psychological endurance is too bad, right?"

Ma Gaoliang smiled and waved his hands, and said, "Actually, it's not entirely because of you. In fact, it may have something to do with the minister of the US Department of Energy."

"Is it related to the Minister of Energy?" Lin Xiao showed a puzzled expression on his face: "I remember that they are not in a cooperative relationship?"

"It's because of the relationship of cooperation that this situation is caused."

Then Ma Gaoliang briefly explained the situation to Lin Xiao, and finally said with a smile: "Basically, this is the situation. After all, because of your proton battery, Kenny's previous plan was completely in vain, and he couldn't find it. For your troubles, you can only find troubles with that Panasonic Group."

Lin Xiao also quickly figured out the logical relationship. Of course, the most important thing is that Ma Gaoliang has some internal information.

In the end, Lin Xiao couldn't help but shook his head and said with emotion: "These Americans really don't want to suffer at all."

"It's not that they don't want to take a loss, but when you cooperate with them, they don't want to take a loss, and they won't let you make money, and if you fight against them, they accept a loss. "Ma Gaoliang said with a smile.

Hearing Ma Gaoliang's words, Lin Xiao suddenly laughed and said, "That's true."

This seems to be an old tradition for the United States.

Just like when World War II started in the last century, both the United Kingdom and the United States were researching the atomic bomb. In order to avoid being affected by the war, the United Kingdom sent the team responsible for the research of the atomic bomb to the United States to cooperate with the United States on research. Then the results were shared. As a result, after the atomic bomb was developed, the United States regretted it.

And Britain can only suffer from this dumb loss, because after the end of World War II, they still owe the United States a huge debt.

Then let alone now, relying on the manipulation of the dollar to raise and lower interest rates, they are frantically harvesting their allies.

In the end, Lin Xiao couldn't help giving Ma Gaoliang a thumbs up, "Your description is quite incisive."

Ma Gaoliang waved his hand and said, "It's not something that is well known."

Then his face became serious again, and he said, "Then, let's talk about the business first. I mainly want to come here to understand one thing with you, namely, the two companies BYD and Ningde Times recently."

As he spoke, a very confused expression appeared on his face: "For some reason, these two companies are going crazy, looking for impoverished areas without electricity all over the country, and then pulling wires and erecting towers for these areas. "

"Especially today, they invested another one billion yuan in it within one day. They were fine a while ago. Oh, no matter how you think about it a while ago, it was not normal. They can invest tens of millions every day. .”

"Although, it seems that they pull the wires to make money, but those impoverished areas that don't even have access to electricity will be fine if they can use electricity. But the local government is also basically poor, and subsidies are unlikely to allow them to make money back.”

"So this is very strange, and then our people investigated it, and it turned out that the investigation came to you. They seemed to have met you specifically before, and then ran to do this matter, so I I just came here to ask you, do you know why they did this?"

But hearing Ma Gaoliang's words, Lin Xiao was even more taken aback, "They actually invested so much money?"

"Yes, the two companies have invested more than 100 billion in total. Although it is divided into three years, there are still 40 billion per year." Ma Gaoliang nodded, then looked at Lin Xiao's expression, and asked: "It looks like you know it?"

"Well, after all, I was the one who suggested them to do this." Lin Xiao nodded, "I just didn't expect them to invest so much money."

And Ma Gaoliang was even more puzzled, "You suggested them? These businessmen, just because you said a word, they ran to do this kind of thing?"

"Hehe, of course it's because of the battery technology I'm developing." Lin Xiao spread his hands and said, "If they are willing to do this just because of a word from me, I have to worry about their intentions."

And Ma Gaoliang also breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile: "This is a businessman. Since it is for your battery technology, then there is no problem. Then you can let them continue to do such good things."

"Oh, and, no matter how you dispose of the rights to the proton battery, I still hope you can keep it in the country." Ma Gaoliang said: "Now we need to control every link of energy, and there must be no mistakes."

"Hehe, of course I know about this kind of thing." Lin Xiao nodded and said with a smile, "Since those two companies are so sincere, we should choose one of them."

"That's good." Ma Gaoliang nodded, and then looked at the time. It was getting late, so he told Lin Xiao, and then left.

Lin Xiao recalled what Ma Gaoliang said just now.

Regarding the situation of Matsushita's family, he has nothing to say. He can only say that if you want to blame, you can blame the US Secretary of Energy, or just blame Matsushita Makoto. Why are you uncomfortable with him?
Oh, Makoto Matsushita also passed out at the time, but it's really a family that doesn't enter the house.

Then, when he thought of the two companies that were on the wire, he couldn't help but sighed, "These two companies have invested 100 billion in total?"

Didn't they say to invest [-] million a year at the beginning, but it's only been a few months.

It seems that the research on lithium-sulfur batteries should start again as soon as possible, otherwise, he will have to face a multiple-choice question.

Of course, only the last hydrogen storage materials are left in the research on proton batteries, so the research on solid electrolytes for lithium-sulfur batteries is now restarted without delaying other things.

Anyway, he chose to research the proton battery first, and it was just a counterattack to Makoto Matsushita's constant touches.

Now it seems that the effect is really outstanding.

After all, up to now, he only showed up in the news, and then briefly introduced their battery technology. He didn't even publish the papers and experimental report data. As a result, so many people believed it.

Is it true that in a few days when he said that he had discovered intelligence with consciousness, people would believe it?
Of course, what he knew was that the reason why others believed him was mainly due to his academic credit, so it would obviously be bad to use this credit to commit fraud. ,

But as far as it is now, his academic credit must be the strongest in the world, and he might be able to cheat a few times without any problem.

Shaking his head, he didn't think about it anymore. After returning to the laboratory, he started the research on lithium-sulfur batteries.

……

In the following time, Lin Xiao continued to put his mind on the research. The two battery technologies and the qubit control model of the quantum computer are each very difficult, and there are many small difficulties in them. With the resolution of small difficulties one by one, the final difficulty will be easily solved.

On the other side, the upsurge about hydrogen fuel cells is obviously coming to an end.

Although the hydrogen fuel cell of the Panasonic Group has entered the stage of production, before the proton battery officially appears, it is obvious that it can still make a wave of money. Even if it is replaced by the proton battery in the future, it may not disappear. After all, no matter what How to say, it still has some advantages compared to other batteries.

However, the sudden death of Akio Matsushita, the head of the family, had a very great influence, because Akio Matsushita did not determine a successor, so his descendants began to fall into infighting for the position of the head of the family. Dou, I don't have the mind to care about the battery at all.

Of course, after a company as big as the Panasonic Group falls into civil strife, it is easy for outsiders to take advantage of it.

Toyota, Honda and the like have all joined in this battle, and the threat of the Minister of Energy Kenny was certainly not a joke, and they also participated in it.

Ever since, such a holding company that ranks more than 100 out of the world's top [-] companies has fallen into a whirlpool and cannot extricate itself.

This incident also reminded other people.

First of all, don't provoke Lin Xiao, especially don't touch him in scientific research, otherwise, the high probability of losing money can only be yourself.

The second is to be careful when cooperating with Americans. Of course, perhaps for the vast majority of people, the power to cooperate or not is difficult to control by themselves.

Finally, don't forget to make a will. At least, after witnessing the situation of the Matsushita family, many chaebol family heads in Japan, if they are old, have quickly determined an heir for themselves to avoid the Matsushita family. that situation.

……

"Great! The performance of this hydrogen storage material has reached the best level in the world. After calculating the cost, it is estimated that it is not much different from the hydrogen storage material developed by Panasonic Group!"

"Well, the most important thing is the performance, which is more than twice that of the hydrogen storage material of the Panasonic Group!"

"In this way, the performance of the proton battery we have developed can reach an even better level!"

Dingguang Research Institute, the material research institute where Lin Xiao works, after a burst of cheers, Kang Chengning and the others looked at the test data of the new material in front of them very excitedly.

After another period of research, finally under the leadership of Lin Xiao, they created a brand new hydrogen storage material.

Hydrogen storage material is a special material that can absorb and release hydrogen gas, such as metal palladium, colloidal palladium can absorb hydrogen gas equivalent to 1200 times its volume, the effect is very good, so in Iron Man, Iron Man used it at the beginning The most important thing is metal palladium, because as a hydrogen storage material, it can provide sufficient hydrogen for the nuclear fusion in the Ark reactor.

Of course, their battery is not an Ark reactor, they just use the hydrogen to maintain the reaction of the battery.

In the laboratory, Lin Xiao who was next to them smiled slightly when he saw how happy they were, and then said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense and start building the battery."

"Ok!"

Hearing Lin Xiao's order, Kang Chengning and the others stopped indulging in surprises and started building a brand new proton battery.

After building this hydrogen storage material, as well as the previous colloidal electrolyte and proton exchange membrane, a new version of the proton battery appeared in front of them.

Then they began to conduct experiments on discharge and charge reactions. Through these two experiments, they could detect the performance of the battery.

In this way, after several hours of quiz, they finally got the final result.

"This time, the volumetric energy density has been greatly improved compared to before!" Ma Bin looked at the statistics on the computer and said in surprise, "At least three times as much as before!"

"Great!"

Kang Chengning and the others cheered again.

For those who study materials, it is a great encouragement to be able to research a new material, especially this material can have such powerful performance.

Of course, although being able to develop these materials has something to do with Lin Xiao and has little to do with them, but being able to experience such a process in person is also a kind of knowledge-enhancing experience for them.

Especially after this round, they have a deeper understanding of computational materials science.

At this time, Lin Xiao was even more satisfied.

This is the perfect form of this proton battery.

Of course, there is one more thing that makes him more satisfied, and that is the sudden system sound.

"Congratulations to the host for successfully developing a brand new battery. The battery is an important carrier of the electric energy age. The higher its capacity, the deeper your civilization's understanding of the electric energy age, so keep going. Reward 2000 chemistry points Experience, 4000 points of material science experience, 80 truth points."

Hearing the system's words, Lin Xiao frowned slightly.

"The age of electricity?"

So what kind of times will there be in the future?
He is also not clear about this, because the reason why we call it the era of electric energy is that electric energy is currently available to human beings to achieve preservation, transformation and utilization.

As a perfect energy state, electric energy can be transformed into various other energies, such as thermal energy, chemical energy, mechanical energy, etc. If a new energy state can appear in the future to replace electric energy, it is obvious that there must be this kind of energy that can be transformed. Capabilities for other energy states.

But obviously, humans have not discovered such a new energy state until now.

"Another pile of unknown theories."

Lin Xiao couldn't help shaking his head in his heart, so at this time, if someone still thinks that science has reached its end, they are definitely very stupid.

Then he stopped thinking about it and calmed down a bit. Although he gained a lot of experience, it didn't allow him to upgrade these two subjects.

Of course, it's not a big problem. After all, things like upgrading are not so easy.

However, looking back on the entire research process, he did not expect to be able to research all three materials in such a swift manner.

"The aura of this energy revealer is really powerful and terrifying."

What I just don't know is how this so-called "halo" exists and affects him.

No matter how you think about it, this "halo" is very strange.

Just like...

"The BUFF in the game is the same..."

Lin Xiao had some doubts in his heart.

"Or... a kind of consciousness technology?"

That is, technology for "consciousness".

But just after he thought for a while, a voice came from beside him: "Lin Shen, what are we going to study next? Lithium-sulfur batteries?"

Lin Xiao came back to his senses, looked at Kang Chengning's expectant expressions, then nodded with a smile: "Well, let's continue to study lithium-sulfur batteries."

"Ok!"

Kang Chengning and the others nodded, and they stopped indulging in the success just now, and started the next research.

And Lin Xiao is no longer obsessed with thinking in his mind.

It is true that as a scientist, his imagination is very rich, and of course every scientist is like this.

But sometimes, you have to keep your eyes on reality.
