The technological competition starts with the integration of space-time memory

Chapter 23 Lack of money

After asking three philosophical questions, Professor Zhu looked at Li Tang with a cold gaze through the lenses.

The expression on his face clearly said "I don't believe it".

"Professor Zhu, I'm just talking nonsense now, so it's normal that you don't believe me. After a while, I'll make the product and give it to you to test. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Which company are you from?"

"I'm from the Future Technology Research Institute. This is my business card."

"Okay, I'll take the business card, but I won't take kickbacks. Now please leave."

"Hey, I want to discuss something with you..."

"I'm sorry, I have to go into surgery right away. Please go back."

……

Li Tang, who was kicked out of the office by Professor Zhu, felt very helpless.

After taking a few steps, a young man in a suit and tie came up to him.

"Brother, are you frustrated? Professor Zhu's path is not easy to follow. Which country did you import from?"

Li Tang was a little puzzled and said casually, "It's made in China."

"Professor Zhu only uses products from Eastern Japan because domestic products don't work."

"why?"

The young man looked at him like an idiot. "Professor Zhu studied abroad at the University of Tokyo. If he doesn't trust Japanese products, how can he trust domestic products?"

"Hey, I just don't believe that the East Japanese can make the products I make?"

"Exclusive product? No way, no way!
In the field of medical devices, China cannot even copy others, so it is impossible to innovate and develop new products independently! "

The man in the suit shook his head and walked away.

That contemptuous look made Li Tang feel like he had eaten a fly.

"Okay, I'll remember it."

……

……

Li Tang returned to the company angrily and decided to speed up the research progress of new materials.

Once he puts the humanoid robotic arm and neural-like materials in front of Professor Zhu, I don’t believe he will dare to say that Eastern Japanese products are better than domestic ones.

He called together Chen Xue and several other material researchers, first asking about the progress and then about the problems they had encountered.

"These problems are not difficult to solve. Come, I will take you through them one by one."

While answering questions for several people, I also sorted out the research and development links involved and determined the experimental process steps.

This detailed explanation was like an epiphany for Chen Xue and others who had just started the research and development process.

Then Chen Xue felt the feeling of being guided by a mentor, and the voice sounded like the sound of nature.

It turns out that Teacher Li had already developed the preparation methods of these new materials. He was previously guiding and inspiring himself, wanting to have more independent thinking processes.

This is definitely to enable me to write a good doctoral thesis.

Now we need to speed up the progress of material research and development, so he comes to tell me directly what to do.

With a sense of gratitude and shame, Chen Xue listened and took notes more carefully, and secretly made up her mind to complete all the experimental preparations with all her strength and make the finished product as soon as possible.

After Li Tang finished his explanation, he left the meeting room.

Before the door closed, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became heated.

"Oh my god, Professor Li's lecture was so good!"

"Yes, yes, I plan to study this material for a year or so!"

"Today I finally understand how terrifying Professor Li's teaching ability is!"

"Sister Xue, has Professor Li always done projects so quickly before?"

"Okay, everyone, cheer up. We have to finish the experiment as soon as possible! Didn't you see that the products at the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute are selling like hot cakes?"

……

Listening to these words, Li Tang's mood finally improved a little.

I didn't realize that Chen Xue still had some management skills. From the knowledge of the humanoid manipulator that was integrated, four new materials could be obtained.

One is the main material of the robot.

A certain aluminum-nickel-iron alloy has amazingly improved performance in terms of hardness, wear resistance, impact resistance, vibration resistance, and stainlessness compared to existing varieties in the current time and space.

One is a neural-like material that connects the robotic arm to human nerves.

This is a high molecular polymer material with a strong affinity to the human body.

One is a highly simulated skin material that wraps the robotic arm.

It is also a high molecular polymer material, but it has better functionality than the silicone simulated skin in the current space and time.

The last type is the material used for the robot’s built-in battery.

This is some kind of lithium crystalline solid battery, and its manufacturing principle is exactly the conjecture that Li Tang had previously published, the principle of magnetically controlled superconductivity.

This lithium crystalline solid is a critical superconductor that can provide amazing electrical capacity and has the advantages of fast charging and discharging speeds.

Among the four materials, the most difficult to achieve is lithium crystalline solid material.

Li Tang needs to first create a magnetic phase analyzer to magnetically control the material in order to ensure that the arrangement direction of the lattice is accurately controlled during the material smelting process.

Just now in the conference room, Li Tang only explained the key points of the development of the first three materials.

Finally, this lithium crystalline solid material has to be put on hold for the time being.

The manufacture of a magnetophase instrument is not easy, even though Li Tang has completely figured it out in principle based on his fused space-time memory.

However, from theory to practical manufacturing, many engineering problems still need to be overcome.

This was proven by the previous failure of imitating the assembly robot.

If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. If Li Tang wanted to make a magnetometer, he had to improve a batch of high-precision machine tools and equipment to ensure manufacturing accuracy.

It's like nesting dolls, one after another, seemingly endless.

But Li Tang understood that this was the necessary process to integrate the future space-time technology tree.

Black technology cannot come out of thin air; you have to lay certain prerequisites and foundations.

To build such a foundation, you also need strong financial resources.

The company has just opened for business and earned 1600 million from selling the "Fox Hunting" software to the Municipal Bureau.

This money sounds like a lot, but it will be gone if you buy a few high-precision machine tools and precision testing equipment.

Not to mention, the construction of a new material laboratory costs money, and the cost of experimental raw materials is not low either.

Usually when technology companies are short of money, they raise funds by selling shares.

As a company wholly owned by Li Tang, Future Science and Technology Research Institute owns 100% of the shares.

However, Li Tang plans to give 10% of the shares to Xu Cheng and other core members and future backbones of the company as bonus shares.

Li Tang has no intention of raising funds by listing the company. He firmly believes that the company's annual dividend distribution alone is enough to make the core backbone much better than enjoying the so-called stock option redemption.

However, Li Tang is not opposed to external financing, but he does not want the entry of short-sighted and controlling capital.

He hopes that the capital parties participating in the company's financing will be strategic investors who are simply making long-term financial investments.

Even so, Li Tang doesn't want to raise funds now.

Raising funds now is equivalent to selling at a low price.

But if there is no financing, where will the money for rapid development come from?
Li Tang, who was standing in front of the window thinking, turned around and cast his eyes on the office computer.

"Maybe it's time for Zero to perform?"

Knock knock knock, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Xu Cheng pushed the door open and walked in, holding his down jacket in his left hand and wiping the sweat from his forehead with a tissue in his right hand.

He sat down on the sofa in the reception area, picked up a bottle of purified water on the coffee table, unscrewed the lid, and drank it in one gulp.

"It's freezing outside and hot inside. I'm almost dying of thirst."

"Are you burning with worry?"

"Boss, you hit the nail on the head. We need money now. Someone wants to invest in us!"
