Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

Early the next morning, Zhou Rui was bored on his way to the "Wanhu Base" by car, so he turned on his computer and checked the files forwarded by Gan Yuan.

That is Fan Zusong’s summary of his “enlightenment”

He did it casually and didn't take it too seriously, but after a while, he was still a little surprised.

"Oh? Is this guy really making progress? And it's pretty fast."

I don’t know if the old man is crazy or not, but he does seem to have some sense and luck.

In other words, Fan Zusong has accumulated enough hard work over more than ten years, but he just lacks a little bit of "talent".

But now, Zhou Rui's casual advice has made up for these shortcomings.

According to Fan Zusong's document, he "understood" the data and after conducting several rounds of experiments, he found a feasible path to suppress the expansion rate of "lithium-sulfur batteries."

How much it can be reduced is currently uncertain. Fan Zusong believes it can be at least below 30%, which is a breakthrough figure.

Not sure why, because he has no one left

All the students and researchers under his command had packed up and left, and even several boxes of Wahaha were emptied.

The equipment hasn't been cleared yet, but obviously a bad old man like him can't handle so many things.

After all, Fan Zusong was not completely crazy. In the end, he licked his face and asked if anyone was interested in investing, although he still didn't know who he contacted.

But I generally feel that he should be a giant in the battery field, otherwise how could he have such vicious vision.

Zhou Rui pondered for a moment. It was an unexpected surprise that Fan Zusong had really made progress. This guy still had some old wisdom in him.

However, his idea remained unchanged, allowing himself to devote more energy to the battery

not interested.

Moreover, "lithium-sulfur batteries" are far from mature applications, and there is more than just the issue of expansion rate.

This is like a single person who is only one small umbrella away from falling in love.

It's difficult to pass through, and you can't force your way through.

It's more cost-effective to stock them.

But I’m afraid that I’m going to die for the old man. After all, battery is an industry that is indispensable for experimentation + engineering + theory, and Fan Zusong needs a lot of support.

Zhou Rui thought for a while and finally decided to find a wet nurse for Fan Zusong.

As for himself, he only needs to find time to engage in "quantum reading". How far he can go depends on Fan Zusong's own luck.

Among the many candidates for a nanny, Zhou Rui gradually made a plan and made a phone call.

Seeing Zhou Rui pick up the phone, Lin Tuo took the initiative to turn on the "white noise" mode and turned the radio playing the morning news to the minimum volume.

"Mr. Zhou, I haven't received your call for a long time. Congratulations on your successful launch yesterday!"

In Shencheng, Wang Chuanfu, who was originally having an important meeting, saw that the caller had "Zhou Rui" written on it. He paused the meeting without hesitation and picked up the call immediately.

This is not just because "Enlightenment Intelligence" is an important customer of BYD. 40% of BYD's foundry capacity is used to produce drones for Enlightenment Intelligence.

Don't ask, asking means respect.

Although the two parties cooperated closely, they did not make many phone calls. Zhou Rui looked down on the trivial matter of consumer drones, and Wang Chuanfu's main focus was not on "OEM".

Zhou Rui said straight to the point: "Mr. Wang, I haven't contacted you for a long time. I want to ask you about your plans for the battery?"

Wang Chuanfu thought Zhou Rui wanted to discuss the future battery technology iteration of his drone.

The boss, who is also an engineer, talks endlessly about technology.

They are also strong in battery technology. Whether it is battery form, supporting technology, or industrial production scale, they are leaders in this field. They have a lot of technical reserves and are very mature.

Let me tell you an interesting thing. When Zhou Rui just entered the scientific research path and communicated with "Wu Huamin" who was still an ordinary teacher, the other party gave an example of "lithium iron phosphate" battery to tell Zhou Rui that a technology from It may take decades for the laboratory to move to the market.

Young people should not aim too high.

But in the past five or six years, Zhou Rui has made progress, and others have not been stunned. BYAT has made huge breakthroughs in the direction of "lithium iron phosphate" batteries. It is now close to industrial mass production, and has made great progress in battery shape. On the market, we innovatively developed the blade battery model.

The concept that was proposed decades ago seems to be really coming to market now.

Brother Boatman is also a person with sentiments. If he doesn't work hard as the "King of OEMs", he will have to stick to making cars. He will still fight against the headwind of being stigmatized as a "domestic car". This fight will last ten years.

"OEM" is just a means for me to make money, and "making cars" is my purpose of making money.

Wang Chuanfu found a rare opportunity to chat with Zhou Rui about technology. He forgot that he was in a meeting, but turned around and told the truth:

"But Mr. Zhou, our lithium iron phosphate blade battery is mainly for large equipment. I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult given the size of the drone."

This technology itself is prepared for cars.

Zhou Rui continued to flip through what Fan Zusong sent: "I understand, so let me tell you directly, are you interested in lithium-sulfur batteries?"

The boatman was stunned, lithium-sulfur battery? Who doesn't know this?

It’s a big scam in the industry!

The data on paper is comparable to the Victoria's Secret supermodel, and the actual effect is comparable to Muraguchi Mapo. Except for the concept that was popular for a period more than ten years ago, there are basically no big companies doing research now.

"Well, I'm not too familiar with it. Mr. Zhou, do you have any advice?"

Zhou Rui smiled and said: "It's like this. I attended an academic conference before and met a lithium-sulfur battery project team. It felt good and I was ready to invest in it. However, my own time is limited and I can only provide remote guidance at most."

"And I really don't have the talent and technical reserves in the battery field. Just giving me some money is probably not enough to revitalize the company. Everything is lacking there. I think if Mr. Wang is interested, we can join the game together."

Wang Chuanfu listened for a long time, but there were only four words left in his mind.

Remote coaching? !

He doesn't think "lithium-sulfur batteries" are reliable, but Zhou Rui's willingness to provide remote guidance is another matter entirely.

Without any hesitation, Wang Chuanfu immediately agreed first.

"No problem, I understand what you mean. We will provide people and supporting technologies here, and you will be responsible for providing guidance on scientific research, right?"

"Yes, that's it. Each person provides a leg and tries to see if he can walk a few steps."

As for the "money" issue, neither of them mentioned it, and there was no need for it.

Fan Zusong doesn't have to spend much. As long as the dispute with the previous employer is resolved, several million will be put to use.

Leave this money with Zhou Rui and Wang Chuanfu.

They said it without hesitation.

The two discussed the situation in a few words, and the small investment was finalized. After hanging up the phone, they called Gan Yuan again and explained the situation:

"You can connect it in the middle. As for the proportion of investment and results, let's keep it half and half."

The premise is that Fan Zusong can produce results.

Hmm. To put it more ruthlessly, even if the old man suddenly suffers from a cerebral infarction, as long as he has the research data accumulated over the past fourteen years, it seems that Zhou Rui will be able to change someone else to give him advice.

"I understand, boss. I've heard a little bit about the dispute over there. It shouldn't be difficult to handle."

Zhou Rui thought for a while and said, "Let's let the boatman brother take the lead. We will show up last."

To put it bluntly, if word gets out that "Master Zhou" is interested in a certain scientific research project, then this half-dead project may be re-evaluated and cause trouble.

There is no need to reveal your identity now.

Zhou Rui hung up the phone and was not far from the "Wanhu Base".

Linto turned off the white noise and turned the radio back up a little.

"Our reporter reported that the "power-free" northern region was attacked by multiple drones last night, causing heavy losses to the local armed forces."

"A 5.4-magnitude earthquake occurred again in the Western Pacific. The earthquake was felt in Japan, but there were no casualties yet."

"The second negotiation at Goose House ended, and neither party achieved the results they wanted."

The news was intermittent, but Zhou Rui had already opened the car window and blew a cold wind.

Didn't hear a word clearly.

What a refreshing and leisurely morning
