In the laboratory, Lin Xiao talked about the experiment he designed.
After listening to this, Kang Chengning and the four others nodded and said, "It's clear!"
Two materials, two experiments.
Although they are relatively complicated, what kind of materials like this are not complicated?
"That's good, let's start the experiment now." Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Oh, although you are from computational materials science, I don't need to emphasize the laboratory regulations to you, right?"
"Don't worry about that!" The four people immediately waved their hands and said with a smile: "Although we are studying computational materials science, after all, the degree certificates we obtained are all Ph.D.s in materials science, so there is no problem with this."
"That's good."
Lin Xiao smiled and nodded, then said no more, "Then let's start the experiment."
"yes!"
Then they came to the experimental table one after another and began to operate according to the experimental steps designed by Lin Xiao.
Because the preparation of colloidal electrolytes takes a long time, about a week, so they will have to stay in this laboratory for at least a week.
Of course, this is considered normal for those who study materials science, so they are not in a hurry.
In this way, as the experiment progressed, time gradually passed.
However, just within the week when they were conducting experiments, Panasonic Group held a press conference.
Their hydrogen fuel cell will officially enter the market.
…
Tokyo, Japan, a large conference center.
[Location of Panasonic Group’s “Hydrogen Energy Future” press conference: Hall A] Banner notices are hung in many places in this large conference center. For many guests who came here today, they can see these notices as soon as they enter.
, and then more than half of these guests will walk towards Hall A.
Because today's meeting is full of attractions for people from all walks of life in Japan.
Whether this hydrogen fuel cell can be recognized in the market will determine whether their automobile industry, the economic pillar, can revive.
"Toyota, you're here."
"Your Honda is here, so of course I will come too."
At the entrance of Hall A, two old men were laughing and chatting. These two men were the patriarchs of the Toyota and Honda families. Of course, they also represented the two former heads of the automobile industry empire.
When the other guests around saw these two old men, their faces were solemn, and they knew more clearly the importance of this meeting. After all, even these two elders were attracted to it.
Although their car sales have begun to decline in the face of the onslaught of new energy vehicles, Toyota and Honda are still the top car companies in the world that cannot be underestimated based on their accumulation over the years. After all,
They are still among the top 100 companies in the world, and their influence is still huge.
Now they are paying attention to the development of hydrogen fuel cells, which is just a way to prepare for a rainy day. After all, the future will usher in the era of nuclear fusion, and new energy vehicles will become the right way. Although it may still be decades away from becoming popular, for people like them,
It is normal for large enterprises to take a long-term view, even decades into the future.
Therefore, no matter what, the fact that these two old people were able to attend the event in person also showed the importance of this press conference.
Thinking of this, others are looking forward to this press conference even more.
At this time, the two old men also began to walk inside. Of course, they were still chatting about other topics.
Suddenly, Honda asked: "By the way, Toyota, that old guy from Panasonic was lucky this time and came up with this kind of technology. If they can really succeed, aren't you interested in sharing the pie?"
"A share of the pie?" Toyota shook his head and said, "As long as we can ensure that after the Chinese build their nuclear fusion power plants here in the future, the Toyota Group will still be able to occupy the top spot in the world's car sales, that's enough.
"
"As for getting a share of the pie, don't you look at how much help the Americans have provided to Panasonic. If the Americans don't plan to get what they deserve from Panasonic later, guess what they
Will you give up and give up?"
"That's true." Honda nodded, understanding the matter in his heart.
He and Toyota both know very well what kind of people Americans are, especially Toyota. After all, the Toyota Group has become the only car company in the world that can compare with Volkswagen because it relied on dumping in the U.S. market.
It was a great success, but after that, the Americans couldn't stand it any longer, so they focused on their interests.
Of course, it goes without saying that the agreement signed in that square was even more painful in their hearts.
So now think about it, is it really pure kindness that the Americans spared no effort to help Panasonic Group's hydrogen fuel cell development?
"Haha, then we can only hope that the old guy from Panasonic can be ready." Then Honda smiled, "If he can't hold on by then, then I don't mind giving him a boost."
Toyota also smiled and didn't say anything. At this moment, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the head of the Matsushita family who was communicating with others in the crowd. Looking at the smile on the old guy's face, one could tell that the current
How happy he was.
Of course, Toyota also showed a smile and walked over, "Panasonic, congratulations..."
…
Soon, preparations were made for this press conference, and the host of this press conference was none other than Makoto Matsushita, who had made great contributions.
At this time, Matsushita Makoto looked happy and contented. After all, he had received a huge promotion within the Matsushita Group some time ago, and now he was arranged to chair this meeting, which was enough to show that he had great influence in the family and the group.
The status inside is getting higher and higher.
Facing so many guests present, he said: "Welcome, distinguished guests, to this press conference. As you can see, the theme of this press conference is: Hydrogen Energy Future, yes,
The future is the era of hydrogen energy!”
"Of course, here I would also like to thank Mr. Lin Xiao for bringing controllable nuclear fusion technology to all of us. It is this controllable nuclear fusion technology that allows me to name this conference like this."
"Of course, everyone here may want to ask at this time. Mr. Lin Xiao is researching battery technology, which may have a huge impact on our hydrogen fuel cells. However, after you see our batteries later, you will not
I’m worried about this.”
"Because it's really strong!"
After hearing what Matsushita Makoto said, the people present laughed one after another, and some people applauded. The applause made Matsushita Makoto stop what he said next, and then bowed slightly to the audience.
Of course, at this time, he also discovered that Lin Xiao seemed to be able to attract more people's attention, and at the same time, he could continue to improve his reputation. Obviously, this could also have a great impact on the influence of this conference.
So then he abandoned the host script that he had originally written down in his mind and chose to continue working on it.
"Of course, we all know that the technologies developed by Mr. Lin Xiao are often very powerful, but the question is, while Mr. Lin Xiao is researching complex technologies such as quantum computers, how much attention can he put on battery technology?
Where’s the research?”
"Moreover, our Panasonic Group has invested in hydrogen fuel cells for so many years. We know very well how difficult it is to research battery technology."
"So I think that this round, our hydrogen fuel cells will officially win! And our country's brilliant automobile industry will become the strongest in the world again!"
The applause rang out warmly again, and everyone in the audience felt a little excited for Matsushita Makoto's inspiring words.
Then, seeing that the atmosphere was almost settled, Matsushita Makoto officially entered the topic and began to introduce the theme of their press conference, which was the hydrogen fuel cell they had finally completed after studying it for so long.
Listening to his introduction, everyone began to feel surprised in their hearts.
As a type of fuel cell, hydrogen fuel cells obviously cannot be calculated based on mass energy density like lithium-ion batteries. After all, hydrogen is very light, and the combustion heat release process is just a process of adding chemical bonds to break bonds and form bonds, so in terms of mass
In terms of energy density, hydrogen has an inherent advantage. Even the mass energy density of fuel is not as high as that of hydrogen.
Therefore, the advantage that hydrogen fuel cells need to compare with is volumetric energy density.
Panasonic Group's hydrogen fuel cell has successfully achieved a breakthrough on this point. Under the same volume, the energy density of this hydrogen fuel cell is about twice that of lithium-ion batteries!
double!
After hearing this final data, everyone in the audience had surprised expressions on their faces.
If this is the case, doesn’t it mean that the final real cruising range will be almost the same as that of a fuel vehicle?!
Even if the space inside the car can be carefully arranged to accommodate more hydrogen, it will not be a problem to exceed the battery life of a fuel vehicle.
Finally, Panasonic Makoto also announced the approximate price of their epoch-making battery product.
Of course, this price is subject to fluctuation. After all, this kind of battery is not facing the consumer market, but the producer market. The actual price will change according to the actual transaction situation, such as the buyer's requirements.
However, when this approximate price was announced, it still aroused surprise among the people present, because this price was surprisingly not as expensive as the original hydrogen fuel cell. On the contrary, it even dropped a bit.
Immediately, everyone present cheered even more.
Makoto Matsushita on the stage looked at the reactions of the guests and smiled on his face.
Then he said: "Obviously, I know very well that this price surprises everyone, but as I just said, we need to let our national economy take off again."
"That's why such a hydrogen fuel cell came into being."
"In order to allow our country to truly take off, we have made such a price. It is precisely in the hope that we can usher in a new era more calmly!"
"So, everyone, tell me, do we still need to worry about that great scientist Lin Xiao?"
In the end, Matsushita Makoto once again struck a chord with Lin Xiao.
The audience responded in unison: "No need!"
The smile on Matsushita Makoto's face became even brighter.
Of course, among these audiences, the cheering people are only part of them, and among them are many of the trustees arranged by them.
Those who can really afford to pay for their batteries are the other group of people who are not cheering. For these people, they obviously will not change their mood because of Matsushita Makoto's words.
However, they were still surprised when they heard the price quoted by Panasonic.
Even the two owners of the Toyota and Honda families frowned when they saw this price.
They were very clear about Matsushita Makoto's purpose of touching porcelain Lin Xiao from time to time, and they all dismissed the so-called price set for their country. Such words did not need to be taken seriously. The only thing they could do was
Does it really mean the second level: We are all selling like this and why don’t you come and buy it?
"It seems that this time Panasonic plans to use this to quickly seize the market." The owner of the Toyota family narrowed his eyes and thought to himself. Finally, he shook his head slightly, "It seems that they still feel very attached to Lin Xiao."
Worry, we are not as sure of victory as it seems."
But he didn't think much about it.
Such a hydrogen fuel cell has met everyone's original expectations. As for the battery technology studied by Lin Xiao...
At this time, Toyota couldn't help but have the idea that no matter how powerful it is, it is impossible to directly make such an excellent hydrogen fuel cell helpless, right?
With this idea in mind, the owners of the Toyota family couldn't help but feel envious of the Panasonic Group. If this technology came from their Toyota...
Of course, he quickly gave up this idea. After all, he had not forgotten those Americans who were eyeing him.
…
Just when the whole audience was cheering, a phone ring suddenly came.
Everyone present was stunned because the phone ringing sound came from the stage. In other words, it was Matsushita Makoto's phone that rang.
This can be considered a press conference accident.
But what surprised everyone was that after Matsushita apologized and took out his mobile phone, he said in surprise: "This is actually the phone number of Mr. Kenney, the U.S. Secretary of Energy!"
"I think Mr. Kenny must have something to say to us."
Then he answered the call in public and turned on the speakerphone.
Then, Kenny's voice came from the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Matsushita, I'm sorry to call you at this time. You should be hosting the press conference now, right? Of course, I am also watching your press conference."
Hearing this voice, the audience present could not help but be surprised. The Secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy actually called!
Toyota and others could see at a glance that this was not an accident at all, but a well-rehearsed one. Obviously, the Minister of Energy was here to support the Panasonic Group and express its attitude. Maybe the Panasonic Group wanted to invite the Minister of Energy.
It cost a lot to cooperate in showing up.
Then, we can only hope that they will not lose everything in the end.
At this time, Matsushita Makoto also said: "Haha, Mr. Kenny, it doesn't matter. I believe there is a reason why you can call now, so please explain!"
"Well, I mainly want to say three sentences. The first sentence is, I wish your press conference a successful conclusion; the second sentence, I wish the friendship between me and the Panasonic family will last forever; the third sentence, I wish the hydrogen fuel cell
, can achieve success!”
Makoto Matsushita immediately beamed and bowed to the camera at a 90-degree angle, probably hoping that Kenny on the other side of the camera could see it, and then thanked: "Thank you, Mr. Kenny, for your blessing, and I wish us success together!"
Then he looked at all the audience present and said, "Everyone, let us thank Mr. Kenny for his wishes!"
The audience burst into applause again. Of course, the people applauding at this time were basically Tuoli and some unimportant people. People like Toyota and others were not interested in applauding for this.
However, what they are thinking at this moment is that maybe Panasonic Group is really going to make a big splash this time.
And that great scientist Lin Xiao, is he really going to fail this time?
…
"The Japanese said I was going to fail again?"
In the Dingguang Research Institute, Lin Xiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Ma Gaoliang coming to the door.
"This time it's not just the Japanese. The American, British, French and other media all say so. Have you read the specifications of the hydrogen fuel cell of the Panasonic Group? It seems really amazing.
This will affect our layout of lithium batteries." Ma Gaoliang said, with worry on his face.
The country has been working on lithium batteries for so long. If problems arise, it will have a greater impact on subsequent plans, especially since their current controllable nuclear fusion technology has matured.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao smiled, and then did not answer. Instead, he directly said to Chen Gong next to him: "Xiao Chen, give him the whole job!"
Chen Gong had been unhappy with the arrogant Panasonic Group for a long time. He immediately nodded and said, "Hey, those Japanese people who have lived a good life must be punished."
"Come on, Director Ma, let me show you the new battery we just completed yesterday."
Hearing this, Ma Gaoliang was stunned: "What? New battery?"
He immediately looked at Lin Xiao standing aside, with a puzzled look on his face.
Lin Xiao smiled and spread his hands: "Next, we would like to solemnly introduce to you our proton battery."
