Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

After posting a very metaphorical tweet, Zhou Rui put away his phone and began to edit the "Twelve Zodiac Mimicry Program" for Nantianmen. This was his previous idea to add some fun to the slow live broadcast.

This work didn't take him too much time, but it was already noon when he finished it. He turned to look out the window and happened to see a truck pulling an old desk downstairs next door, probably to make room for renovation.

The two buildings next door have been completely emptied. The structural transformation will be carried out first, followed by the intelligent transformation. It is planned to complete all the work after the Spring Festival.

To be precise, the other two major projects: "Manhu Base Development" and "Okinawa Rocket Base" will also be completed in the first half of next year. By then, the entire Furui enterprise will usher in a new stage of rapid development.

After closing the computer and letting the small shower head slip into his sleeves, Zhou Rui stood up and turned to the next door, knocking on Gan Yuan's door.

Originally, he wanted to talk to Gan Yuan about sending someone to the Beijing Space Agency, but he saw that the breakfast on Gan Yuan's table had not been touched at all.

Gan Yuan seemed a little distressed. When she raised her head, her eyes were dull. She had obviously encountered some work difficulties, and her voice was a little confused.

"boss?"

"You haven't eaten?"

Gan Yuan steeled herself and said crisply with a louder voice: "Boss! Good afternoon!"

Zhou Rui: "."

After a while, Zhou Rui shook his head and said, "Stop it, go, go out for lunch, and then accompany me to an academic conference in the afternoon."

Gan Yuan hesitated: "Academic meeting? Will it cause you any trouble if I go?"

How many years has she been exposed to this? Of course, when I was in school, I was far away from academics. I just graduated step by step.

Zhou Rui didn't give her a chance to refuse, and said: "Help me consult with the staff, let's go, I'm hungry, let's go eat first."

Gan Yuan's legs and feet have no problem walking now, but she can't walk for long periods of time. In addition, there is some lag when changing postures, and she needs support when she gets up or sits down.

But the more this happens, the more you need to walk. There is not much difference between sitting all the time and lying down all the time.

The two had a simple meal on Daxue Road, and then went to the college office to find a badge for Gan Yuan to attend the conference, before arriving at the venue together.

Maybe after walking a kilometer or two, Zhou Rui noticed that Gan Yuan's posture began to change. It seemed that her right leg was tired and she began to subconsciously make protective movements.

Zhou Rui walked around to Gan Yuan's right side and raised his elbow. Gan Yuan's face turned red, but she finally helped Zhou Rui's arm.

The two walked inside, as if they were attending a dinner party rather than an academic conference.

Zhou Rui's seat was in the first row, so he was sitting every other seat. The person on his left happened to be absent today, so it didn't look out of place for Gan Yuan to sit on one side.

As of this afternoon, the meeting is actually more than halfway through, and it mainly focuses on "personal reports."

This kind of academic conference has a brass head and an iron tail. The speakers who open and close the topic are all big guys, and the people in the middle are relatively inferior. This is why Zhou Rui didn't plan to come originally.

The main thing is to force Gan Yuan to go out for a walk.

He has changed quite a bit since watching "Criticism".

The first two reports in the afternoon were, as expected, average.

One is about "gravity energy storage", which uses excess electricity to drive lifting machinery, pull heavy objects (such as large rocks) to a high point, and convert them into potential energy. When needed, the heavy objects fall back down, and gravity is used to pull the motor to generate electricity again. .

It sounds extremely primitive, and even feels ridiculous like taking off your pants and farting, but in fact, this method of energy storage does have its own advantages.

The first is stability. A large stone can be raised up without deteriorating for several years. It is not difficult to store, does not consume additional energy, and is not prone to failure. This "stability" is unmatched by any other solution.

Another one is its strong applicability. It does not require high-tech industry support or complicated equipment. It can be used in mountain ravines and the Gobi Desert.

Finally, there are not so many twists and turns in energy conversion, and the energy storage efficiency is better than many complex high-tech equipment, which can reach more than 80%.

In a broad sense, "hydropower stations" are also gravity energy storage, but in actual operation they are generally listed as a separate unit, called "pumped water energy storage".

In order to store energy, human beings are really creative and have their own tricks, which are even quite funny.

The second report is a molten salt energy storage, which uses excess electric energy to heat inorganic salts to form a high-temperature solution, which is kept warm and stored. Then when needed, the heat is exchanged and the water is re-boiled to generate electricity.

It sounds much more high-tech than pulling stones with electricity, but the complex system is not beautiful. The equipment itself requires a large investment, which is almost the same as building a new thermal power plant, and the system stability is also much worse.

It can only be said that all human production activities need to focus on "comprehensive benefits". High-tech is not necessarily the best. Cost, difficulty, safety, ease of use. All aspects must be "excellent" to achieve large-scale production. universal.

Zhou Rui just listened to the music and whispered to Gan Yuan about other things from time to time.

But the third report was a bit interesting, it was actually Fan Zusong from yesterday.

It slightly attracted Zhou Rui's attention.

This dry old man had a completely different temperament from the other reporters. He walked up with a nod and a bow. Before he could stand in the center of the stage, he had already pouted four or five times.

Considering what Lin Tuo found out, it is not difficult to understand that there are many sources of funding for research projects, but no matter which one, once the payment is cut off, it will be much more serious than the cut off of the mortgage payment.

Several years or even more than ten years of hard work will be ruined in one day, the tree will fall and the hozen will be scattered, and you may even be sued for compensation.

Another person might not perform better than Fan Zusong.

After the old man came on stage, he began to talk about the various advantages of "lithium-sulfur batteries" humbly and eagerly.

He talked endlessly for twenty minutes about how good lithium-sulfur batteries are, how many breakthroughs they have made, and how close they are to the transformation of their results.

From Zhou Rui's perspective, it is not difficult to see that the old man has exaggerated a lot. As long as there are some signs, the funding will not be cut off.

He only got one thing right throughout the article, and that is that the theoretical performance of "lithium-sulfur batteries" is indeed extremely strong, surpassing the current common lithium cobalt oxide batteries (mobile phone batteries).

The premise is that you can do it and it can be manufactured on a large scale at a reasonable cost.

Just like everyone knows that "superconducting" is good, how many people have really enjoyed it?

This direction has been proposed for decades, and there has been progress, but there are no translatable results worth mentioning around the world.

Fan Zusong was obviously not a very eloquent person, and his rhetoric gradually turned into chatter. He included two sentences in three sentences: "I hope more employers will see us." Yunyun.

The people below began to lose focus. This was an academic meeting, not a sales meeting. Fan Zusong's behavior made them very uncomfortable.

When the 30-minute time limit was about to end, Fan Zusong was still unwilling to give in when he saw the mediocre response from everyone below. He went to all the trouble and directly put a large amount of experimental data on his computer onto the big screen.

Start explaining the boring table line by line.

It's just that the attention of the following people was even more distracted, and no one paid any attention to him. It gradually turned into a difficult one-man show.

The management reminded him several times that the time was up, but Fan Zusong still insisted on continuing to talk, refusing to come down. The originally 30-minute report was still on the stage after 40 minutes.

When everyone in the audience was drowsy, only Zhou Rui was below, stroking his chin slightly in trance.

I didn’t expect that someone actually moved the unorganized raw data to the big screen. I don’t know whether to say that he worked hard or that he didn’t use his brain.

Who can read this densely packed broken form?

But just now "peeling off the cocoon" was triggered

Marked a lot of things
