When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Wang Donglai can be said to be the person in the world who knows best about the impact of solid-state battery and semi-solid-state battery technology on the current market.

After all, in the next few years, the development speed of new energy vehicles in China will be far beyond everyone's imagination.

It can be said that if solid-state batteries are truly developed, Wang Donglai will instantly become a Nobel Prize winner and an academician, and will also become the most favorable competitor for the title of China's richest man with this technology.

Entering the new century, electricity is everywhere.

Batteries appear in every corner. It is no exaggeration to say that there are batteries within three meters of a person.

Whether it is mobile phone batteries, computer batteries, toys or electrical appliances.

There are lithium iron phosphate batteries, ternary lithium batteries and so on.

And in major laboratories and research institutes around the world, no one knows how many people and teams are researching batteries.

We are conducting research from various directions, including battery structure and battery materials, in an effort to develop a battery with excellent performance.

However, no one would have thought that semi-solid-state battery products have already appeared.

When Wang Donglai decided to submit the semi-solid battery sample, he had already thought about the follow-up procedures.

So, when Wang Donglai heard Zhou Jun ask this question, he looked at Zhou Jun deeply.

Although semi-solid-state batteries do not have as great an impact as solid-state batteries, they are also a very advanced technology. When it comes to cooperation, if you are not a real shot, you will have no say in it.

Regardless of whether Zhou Jun can be the full representative, the fact that he could ask this question at this moment shows that Zhou Jun's identity is extraordinary.

"Director Zhou, I'm sure you know that I'm both a scholar and the founder of Galaxy Technology. From an academic perspective, I'm very pleased that this product has been recognized by the government."

"However, as a businessman, I am also very clear about the commercial value of this product when it comes to cooperation."

"So, I have no experience in how to cooperate, and it is difficult for me."

"I am currently adjusting the production line for the lithium-sulfur battery I just developed. It will be available on the market on a large scale by the end of the year. I have already reached agreements with mobile phone manufacturers and computer manufacturers at home and abroad."

"Now, we have developed this semi-solid-state battery, which is really difficult for me to price."

"Director Zhou, why don't you tell me your conditions?"

Wang Donglai did not state his conditions directly. After going around in circles, he suggested that Zhou Jun state the conditions first.

Although Zhou Jun didn't understand the business model very well, he knew that in business cooperation, the one who made the first offer would be at a disadvantage.

However, as a soldier, Zhou Jun's character is quite straightforward. After a little hesitation, he said: "Two options, one is to obtain patent authorization, and the other is to purchase the product."

"For the first option, the licensing fee can be paid in a variety of ways. For the second option, it is to proceed in accordance with normal business practices. According to product requirements, you produce the products and we accept them. The price can be negotiated, but the quality must be guaranteed."

Although Zhou Jun did not directly state the price, Wang Donglai was quite satisfied after hearing the two plans.

This was his first time doing business in this field, so he wasn't sure how to proceed.

Now, after hearing Zhou Jun's answer and feeling his sincerity, I naturally felt relieved.

"Director Zhou, I actually have another plan. Please take a look at it."

"I don't plan to keep this patent. I plan to license it out as before. The licensee should be BYD or CATL in China, or other companies."

"We will not be involved in manufacturing for now, but we will provide guidance and supervision."

"So, if you are interested, patent licensing or product procurement is fine!"

Wang Donglai came up with this plan when he was preparing to hand over the semi-solid battery samples.

He knew that he could get more profits if he produced semi-solid batteries himself.

However, there are priorities.

Semiconductors are more important than batteries.

Human energy is limited, and the fact that Galaxy Technology needs to expand massively right now has created a large gap in the funding chain. So considering all the reasons, licensing the technology out is the most appropriate option.

This time, the authorization for Wang Donglai will not be as simple as before.

Compared with the lithium iron phosphate batteries or ternary lithium batteries on the market, the performance of semi-solid-state batteries is far superior and incomparable.

Even the previous lithium-sulfur batteries are far from comparable.

Therefore, the patent licensing plan proposed by Wang Donglai this time is naturally extremely harsh.

Companies that want to obtain patent authorization must show more sincerity.

After listening to Wang Donglai's proposal, Zhou Jun did not rush to make a decision, but said: "Professor Wang, I need to report this."

"In addition, I hope Professor Wang can keep the semi-solid battery product confidential for the time being. For example, he should not publish the paper. However, Professor Wang can rest assured that the leadership will not forget his contribution."

"In fact, with Professor Wang's academic achievements and contributions, he deserves to be an academician!"

What Zhou Jun said was not explicit, he just mentioned it lightly.

However, Wang Donglai understood.

Nodding, Wang Donglai said, "Don't worry, Director Zhou. I am not planning to publish the paper right away, and I will not publicize the technology right away."

Zhou Jun quickly explained: "Professor Wang, you misunderstood me. I hope that Professor Wang can temporarily not publish a paper on semi-solid-state batteries within half a year, but you can announce to the public that your company has mastered semi-solid-state battery technology. This is not a conflict."

"During this period, your company can fully carry out business cooperation, don't worry."

"Finally, my personal suggestion is that Professor Wang should travel abroad less often. Personal safety is the most important thing!"

Hearing Zhou Jun's last heartfelt words, Wang Donglai's eyes moved and he said, "Thank you Director Zhou for reminding me. I understand!"

"Professor Wang, I really didn't expect that you would actually create a semi-solid-state battery in such a short time."

"To be honest, when I received your message a few days ago, my first reaction was that I was dreaming. I never thought that the super battery project would be completed so quickly."

"Even though I finally accepted the fact after seeing the samples, I was even more shocked when I saw the test results."

"Professor Wang, you probably can't imagine how big a shock this sample caused when it appeared in front of us!"

Zhou Jun said with a hint of shock in his tone.

"Director Zhou, you are too kind. I just did what I should do."

"As Director Zhou said before, many research institutes and laboratories across the country are working on the super battery project. Semi-solid batteries are not a revolutionary breakthrough, and many laboratories can also make such products."

"Even if we don't care about the cost, we can push the energy density to more than 10000Wh/kg, so my breakthrough in this area is not that big." Wang Donglai is very calm, he is not a layman.

Semi-solid-state and solid-state batteries seem to be only one step apart, but in fact, the gap between the two is huge.

If the ternary lithium battery is described by a monkey, the solid-state battery is a fully evolved modern human, and the semi-solid-state battery is in the middle. To use the most vivid analogy, it is not the cave man or the Homo sapiens.

It is more appropriate to describe it as a gorilla, which shows how big the gap is between semi-solid-state batteries and solid-state batteries.

Even in top laboratories, it is possible to produce energy densities above 10000Wh/kg, which can ensure there is no possibility of spontaneous combustion during daily human use, plus a complete cycle life of two thousand or even tens of thousands of times, coupled with high-speed fast charging, and the ability to be directly crushed and classified for environmentally friendly recycling and reuse.

At present, with the technological level of the world's top laboratories, this is entirely possible.

No one would say that such a battery is not advanced enough. It has almost no shortcomings and can be said to be a god-like next-generation secondary power battery.

However, there is only one problem with such batteries for consumers: they are expensive!

To produce such batteries, not only an extremely harsh production environment is required, constant temperature and humidity, dust-free, etc. are just the basics. The production process is extremely tedious and complicated, and every link needs to be supported by high standards.

Finally, under these stringent conditions, the yield rate was shockingly low.

The cost is extremely high to begin with, and with a series of strict standards and an outrageously low yield rate, the price naturally goes up.

Besides this, there is another big problem.

That is, if you want to produce such batteries, you need to completely rebuild a whole new production line.

A production line can cost at least hundreds of millions or even billions.

The cost is sky-high!
It is precisely because of this that Wang Donglai did not think about producing semi-solid batteries himself to make more profits.

Licensing the patent for semi-solid-state batteries would be a smart move.

Companies such as BYD and CTAL have mature workers and management experience, as well as suitable factories, and only need to adjust the production lines to start production.

The speed is much faster than if Galaxy Technology started from scratch.

After taking charge of this matter, Zhou Jun actually also learned detailed information about semi-solid-state batteries and solid-state batteries.

So, when he heard Wang Donglai say this, he immediately smiled and said, "Professor Wang, you are too polite."

"The experts I know have given very high praise to the semi-solid-state battery developed by Professor Wang. Whether it is from the perspective of cost control, technology, or safety, it is extremely excellent."

"When testing, many researchers swore that the sample contained vinyl sulfate as a wetting agent and that its safety did not meet the standards. However, after the final test results came out, these researchers were speechless."

"Everyone couldn't believe that this product didn't have any wetting agent added, and they kept saying it was impossible."

"Professor Wang, you didn't see the scene at that time. To use the words on the Internet to describe it, that was the collapse of the Taoist heart, and he was about to go crazy."

"Speaking of which, if Professor Wang meets these scholars and professors in the future, he will be very busy. They don't know how much they want to communicate with you."

"This time when I came to meet, I wrote reports like crazy, hoping to get involved."

"Professor Wang, you are also a scholar. I believe you should be able to understand their thoughts."

When Zhou Jun said these things, he was in a light-hearted and joking manner.

However, after Wang Donglai heard it, his heart was moved.

He benefited greatly from the last ICIAM conference.

If I could do it again, even if it's not as good as the last time, I would probably gain a lot.

Thinking about it, Wang Donglai said, "Director Zhou, the performance of semi-solid batteries is extremely superior. I think there should be many research projects that were temporarily shelved due to insufficient battery performance in the past, right?"

“I wonder if these projects will be restarted and the previous research will continue?”

When Wang Donglai talked about this, high-tech products such as exoskeletons flashed through his mind.

Zhou Jun was also stunned. He didn't expect Wang Donglai to talk about this.

His expression suddenly became serious, and his entire demeanor changed in an instant.

However, after just a moment, Zhou Jun relaxed and said, "Please forgive me, Professor Wang, these things are still confidential, I can't disclose them at will!"

"but!"

"I understand what Professor Wang means. I will report to the leader truthfully after I return. If the leader gives any instructions, I will contact Professor Wang."

"I think, with Professor Wang's scientific research ability, the leader should not refuse."

Wang Donglai was not surprised by this result.

After all, Director Zhou is just a director.

Even if you work next to a big boss and have a high rank, you still don't have the authority to make decisions directly on matters like this.

The most important affairs of a country are sacrifices and war!

The scientific research of advanced weapons or weapon equipment is always the most confidential work no matter which country it is in.

Even if Wang Donglai wants to participate, he still needs to go through the process.

"Then I will look forward to good news from Director Zhou!"

"Only when the country is strong and prosperous can the people live and work in peace and contentment. Only when the motherland becomes strong can we have greater room for development and obtain a higher growth ceiling. Therefore, if I have the opportunity to contribute to the country, I will be happy to do so."

"Personal achievements must be actively integrated into the development of the times, so that personal growth is in sync with the development of the times and the development of the country. Only in this way can individual talents have the opportunity to accomplish great things and achieve outstanding achievements."

Wang Donglai said this with a serious tone and a determined expression.

"Professor Wang is indeed worthy of such achievements. In my opinion, his awareness is much better than many people."

"Yes, a strong country and a strong nation are the real confidence. Looking around the world, this is true!"

"Professor Wang, it's almost time. I should go back and report the situation."

As he spoke, Director Zhou looked at his watch and said this to Wang Donglai.

"it is good."

Wang Donglai stood up and saw Zhou Jun off.

After sending Zhou Jun away, Wang Donglai let out a sigh of relief, looked into the distance, and whispered softly: "This world should change!" (End of this chapter)
