Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 848 Academic Conference
(Previous summary: Nantianmen launch was successful, Zhou Rui won the Neptune entry and was nominated as an academician)

Taicang, Wanhu base.

The appearance of the large construction site did not stop because of the successful launch of "Nantianmen", but became more and more intense.

In the No. 1 factory building, Zhou Rui has a small showerhead on his shoulder. This simulated "omnic life" composed of intelligent units is staring at Zhou Rui's movements with its big eyes stretched out.

At this time, Zhou Rui was making special equipment for capturing "Dongfanghong No. 1".

To be precise, it is actually a super-standard "mortise and tenon". This thing was originally designed to capture satellites, but cleaning up garbage and pulling back one's own meritorious satellite are not the same thing, so special things have to be done.

You can't just take it down and turn it into garbage, right?

The specific plan is to prepare a "fairing"-like structure for "Dongfanghong-1" similar to when it broke through the atmosphere.

Fortunately, all the design data of Dongfanghong No. 1 were kept intact, which made it much more convenient for him.

Not far away, the semi-automatic standardized "mortise and tenon" production line is continuously giving birth to cubs at a rate of 3 to 4 per day, with a high yield like a sow.

Dean Zhao asked with interest: "By the way, what battery solution does your Nantianmen use?"

This afternoon, he has an academic meeting to attend.

The motorcade drove all the way into Shanghai and arrived at the gate of Fuzhou University. It was just one o'clock in the afternoon. It was said that in the morning, the participants had a tour of Shanghai. The academic conference was of high standard.

The so-called energy storage refers to storing energy, which is a large category. In a broad sense, "battery" technology is also a branch of energy storage.

"Perovskite solar cells are his achievement, why can't he come?"

As for why it is not just called "power storage" technology, that is because electricity cannot be stored directly. It can only be stored using methods such as electro-chemical energy, electro-potential energy, electro-mechanical energy, etc., and then converted back into electricity.

Dean Zhao nodded.

So what is stored is really not electricity.

How fresh! I, Zhou Rui, have been in the technology world for many years, and...
It's really the first time.

Zhou Rui only brought Lin Tuo in with him, showed his identity card, and sat down directly in his seat.

With the actual verification of Nantianmen, some technical details of mortise and tenon joints have also been iterated. After all, the previous ground test was not comprehensive enough.

Zhou Rui said: "The nickel-metal hydride battery is the same model as the space station. There is nothing innovative. Of course, reliability is the first priority in the power demand on orbit."

“I thought the Taiwanese autograph had the same name, but it’s really Leader Zhou?”

This is caused by the laws of physics and human activities, and is more difficult to change than dead green tea. Unless humans directly change the technology tree, even if "controllable nuclear fusion" lights up in the future, they will still have to focus on energy storage.

As we approached the venue, we could obviously see more foreigners, some were white, some were black, some were curry, and there were roll-ups at the door:
"The 3rd International Symposium on Energy Storage, Energy Saving and Green Energy."

In fact, similar academic conferences are not uncommon at Fuda, but the scales vary. Even in some of the conferences with more seats, our students can apply to attend and attend them.

Around 12 o'clock, the small shower head on the shoulder suddenly said: "The highest authority, time, has arrived."

Although solar panels have the word "battery" in them, they do not store energy themselves and are used with batteries.

More and more people entered the venue, including many academic leaders with their own aura.

This kind of large-scale technology field involving the whole people obviously has the advantages of the "100 million points" system.

If you are more courageous, you can also raise your hand to speak at appropriate points.

After thinking about it, he went to the office building to find a set of notebooks and pens. This was the same as attending class. Whether you listened or not was one thing. You had to have an attitude.

Zhou Rui clapped his hands, said hello to Wang Tao, and left the factory.

After a while, Dean Zhao also came, sitting next to Zhou Rui. The two looked at each other and smiled, and the meeting officially started.

Electricity is actually a very "working" energy source.

Dean Zhao whispered: "If we cannot solve the energy storage problem, we will not be able to efficiently utilize clean energy. We can walk on two legs. Currently, energy storage is lagging far behind."

It’s not that the conference at Fuda is not of sufficient standard, or that it’s stupid to doubt the quality of the conference because there are so few foreigners... China has always been a leader in energy storage, clean energy, and power grid regulation.

Zhou Rui also saw several women who were too young. He wondered if they were the legendary "Academic Daji".

Zhou Rui hung up his participation sign, put on his baseball cap, and headed towards the venue.

Zhou Rui nodded: "Indeed, although perovskite is very efficient, it is difficult to connect to the grid. In many places, solar energy is called 'junk electricity'. A cloud in the sky can cause violent fluctuations. It is also more stable in space."

The opening report was given by an academician of Fuzhou University, but Zhou Rui was not familiar with it. This expert surnamed Liu, who was about 60 years old, gave a general speech, but he covered the entire industry and field.

Fortunately, the atmosphere of the academic conference was relatively rigorous, and most people just talked in low voices.

Fluctuations caused by time, fluctuations caused by regions, and fluctuations caused by the influence of the natural environment on clean energy are like Parkinson's all day long, shaking non-stop and having to be used immediately.

"Are you stupid? This is not a scholar, this is the sponsor father! They are not on the same level at all. You see, these so-called experts cannot withstand the temptation."

Speaking of which, this can be considered an academic benefit. You can get close contact with experts in various fields and experience the state of the scientific frontier.

He is sitting in the first row. I don’t know what’s going on behind him, but this row still holds the majority of domestic experts.

Because in addition to the overt launch plan, there is also a secret launch plan.

This output obviously exceeds the launch demand, but Tai Tiangong has no intention of reducing production.

At present, Factory No. 1 has been completely designated as "payload manufacturing", while Factory No. 2 is for "rocket manufacturing".

"Does he still need to attend this kind of academic conference?"

He is here to score points, so naturally he will not hide his identity. Otherwise, why would he be here? Wouldn't it be better to just claim that he participated?
So when I sat on my seat and took off my hat, it attracted a lot of people's attention and discussion.

Battery technology has many dimensions. For civilian use, convenience and cost are the main considerations. However, in space, this is obviously not the most important indicator. It only needs mature technology to be applicable.

This academician Liu was eloquent and quoted from classics. It was almost half an hour and it was not over yet. Zhou Ruixin said that this person was caught doing activities in his school. Isn't it fun?
After opening the topic, there were reports from several relatively big names. Some were about academic achievements, and some were about converting their own achievements into companies. Zhou Rui had not paid much attention to the academic circle. There was only one black man, Zhou Rui, who had some impression of his name. He wanted to brush up on his experience. I have read each other's papers.

When the meeting came to an intermission, Zhou Rui looked around and prepared to get up and go out to take a breath.

Sitting not far away was Brother Ni. The perfume on his body could knock him away, and his normally functioning "golden breath" was forced to hold his breath.

After talking to Dean Zhao, the two of them prepared to go out for a walk together.

As soon as he stood up, an old Mediterranean expert with a strong man's hair came over with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Zhou, I have admired you for a long time. I didn't expect you to come to this kind of academic conference. Academician Zhao, I have admired you for a long time too."

The wrinkles on your face are more than the hair on your head. Judging from this appearance, no matter how strong or weak you are, you must be a senior person in the academic world.

Several experts not far away also wanted to get this close, and they all secretly regretted it at this time.

He was a step too slow to lift his hips, and was beaten to the spot.

Sure enough, the body is the capital of scientific research!

Zhou Rui said: "What do you call me?" "My name is Fan Zusong. I come from Jiaodong University and specialize in batteries. I have long admired your name."

The old expert also had a few people behind him, who seemed to be students. Zhou Rui glanced at them and saw that they were the few suspected "Dajis" just now.

Tall, short, fat and thin, I can’t say how high the quality is, I can only say that the variety is complete.
Considering that there are more men than women in academia, it is hard not to think too much with an all-female team behind it.

This guy is probably not a serious academic person. Although the quality of these "Dajis" is not high, maybe it is more appropriate to call him "academic Tatar"
Dean Zhao didn't speak from the beginning to the end, obviously very uninterested.

Zhou Rui said perfunctorily: "Hello, hello, let's talk when you have time. We are going to take a rest."

Fan Zusong licked his face: "It's okay, I know Fuda very well, and I will show you two around."

Zhou Rui and Dean Zhao looked at each other: Thank you so much!

"no, I'm fine."

Zhou waved his hand and walked out "awkwardly but politely".

Fan Zusong chased after him "politely and ignoring the embarrassment".

There were a few "Tatars" behind him.

But as soon as he went out, the security personnel waiting for Zhou Rui surrounded him and vaguely separated him.

Fan Zusong was unwilling to give in. He stretched out his arms and shouted at the top of his voice: "Mr. Zhou, it's an academic conference, let's talk!"

"Mr. Zhou! Several of my young students also want to have an in-depth communication with you!"

The movement here aroused many people's eyebrows, and they all despised where this scholar came from, so degrading and polite.

Dean Zhao's face trembled even more. Is this an exchange? You are here to hit the grass valley!

Zhou Rui sighed and waved, and Fan Zusong quickly came over.

"What do you want to communicate?"

Fan Zusong thought that he had struck up a conversation, and said excitedly: "I wonder if you are interested in lithium-sulfur batteries."

Zhou Rui: "Not interested."

Fan Zusong: "(￣(エ)￣)"

Zhou Rui: "Professor Fan, see you later."

Then the gust of wind went away, leaving only Fan Zusong messy in the wind.

After walking a little further, Dean Zhao couldn't help but said: "Xiao Zhou, your academic involvement is not deep. It is a pity that not all scholars are worthy of their profession."

Zhou Rui waved his hand and said with a smile: "Which profession can be filled with saints? Besides, this Professor Fan hasn't done anything, so I can't say anything about Professor Fan. It's just that he is really not interested in lithium-sulfur batteries."

Dean Zhao asked curiously: "Oh? How do you say that?"

“For cutting-edge technology, battery technology is not the most important breakthrough.”

For example, in "enlightened intelligence", for all equipment in the consumer product line, conventional lithium battery technology is currently sufficient and will be upgraded with the mainstream of the market. For public service lines such as Water God and Farm God, the focus is not on batteries.

Not to mention "too much workmanship". In space orbit, only reliability and safety are considered, and there is no need to even consider cost, since the quantity is not large anyway.

Even for "intelligent units", from the perspective of miniaturization, what is needed in the future is a new "energy solution" rather than a "battery solution".

Dean Zhao smiled and said: "That's right. Batteries are just a branch of energy. They affect many areas, but there are not many areas that will be regarded as the primary target."

There is a big difference between a tram that can run 300 kilometers and a tram that can run 1000 kilometers in the commercial field. But in cutting-edge technology, batteries are not a constraint, and there are even many solutions.

The cost is higher than that of lithium batteries, but there are many that have advantages in performance over lithium batteries.

The two of them had already walked to the lawn in front of Guanghua Building. It was a nice day and the sun was warm.

Several female college students passed by laughing and stopped talking when they saw Master Zhou's face, but they still couldn't help but look this way.

The youthful appearance neutralized the impact of "Academic Tatar", and Zhou Rui couldn't help but click on "Neptune Vision".

Looking around, the level of admiration is "beating" and the difficulty is "extremely easy", which makes me feel a lot more comfortable.

Dean Zhao said: "By the way, a few days ago you said you had some ideas for your doctoral thesis? What was it about?"

Zhou Rui smiled: "It's not decided yet. You just informed me two days ago that you want to write a thesis!"

Dean Zhao warned: "It would be very troublesome to start this thing from scratch. Wu Huamin's level is a bit inferior. If it doesn't work, I will find two professors for you to help."

Every time Zhou Rui's "study" was discussed, a certain mentor would be stabbed in the back.

As for hiring two professors to help him write his thesis, that's not necessary.

Zhou Rui smiled: "That's not necessary. We will try to settle it before the end of the year."

Basically, it falls on the remaining two abilities, "tracing back to the source" and "imitating a cat and imitating a tiger."

In comparison, it is obvious that the former is more suitable as a doctoral thesis in the chemistry-materials direction.

At the beginning of this year, when the number of uses had just been refreshed, he secretly tried to use "reverse traceability" to obtain "room temperature and normal pressure superconducting" materials.

With all these tricks open, naturally pick the biggest one and hit it.

But unfortunately, he was told that the reserves were insufficient. This was related to the fact that he did not devote much energy to his major of chemistry and materials.

After lowering the conditions again and again, a copper compound solution was obtained, but it only slightly pushed the current atmospheric pressure superconducting temperature online, and the value was not particularly great. Zhou Rui did not consume the ability times to redeem the answer, but canceled the wait. talk about it later.

Compared with the beginning of the year, he is definitely a little better in the fields of chemistry and materials at this time, but he still has little confidence in directly proposing "room temperature and normal pressure superconductivity".

Speaking of which, the ultimate ability of several major [discipline entries] is the most comfortable to use. There are almost no bottlenecks. The system can meet any excessive requirements, because his own accumulation is the strongest in the engineering field. of.

After listening to the report for a while today, he felt that it would be good to fall in the direction of "energy storage".

It is not energy storage in the narrow sense of batteries, but energy storage in a broader sense.

After all, in the future "lunar development", in addition to perovskite power generation, it is best to have an efficient and stable energy storage solution.

A "moonlight night" lasts for nearly 14 days, which puts considerable pressure on the energy storage system.

While I was thinking, a voice came from far away:
"Mr. Zhou! Academician Zhao! What a coincidence! We meet again!"

Turning around to look, Fan Zusong kept waving from a distance.

"You two are so excited. I also like walking around the campus of Fuda."

Zhou Rui grinned and said with a dry smile: "Then you can relax first, and we will go back."

Fan Zusong: "(￣(エ)￣)"
