Great Power Technology

Ye Zhou slept for eight hours and didn't wake up until around twelve o'clock in the evening. His family had already rested and he had nothing to do, so he simply got up and took a walk.

The manor is located in a remote location, with very little light pollution around it. Ye Zhou is lying on a lounge chair on the grass outside the door, looking at the stars in the sky, and his thoughts can't help but drift away.

This starry sky has been looked up to by people like him since ancient times, but when will it be conquered by those who look up to it?

Who will conquer them?

He shook his head and sighed secretly.

Ten thousand years is too long, just seize the day.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou took out his phone to see if there was any work information that he needed to deal with, but he didn't expect that as soon as the screen turned on, he received a call from Chen Hao.

Ye Zhou picked up the phone and asked in a joking tone:

"What's going on? You called me just after I woke up. What, are you spying on me?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Hao on the opposite side did not shy away from it and answered directly:

"There is no surveillance in the room, but I said hello to the sentry over there and told him to call me when he saw you coming out. I didn't expect that I would wait until now."

"You can really sleep. Now that you're like this, you were still trying to show off to me?"

".I just don't have enough sleep. I just need to make up for it. Let's get down to business. What, is it about the high-energy-density battery I told you about?"

"Yes. I have had a phone call with the above today and roughly discussed the research and development and application plans after the technology comes out. There are no clear steps yet, only two principles have been set."

Chen Hao explained the principles at the previous meeting to Ye Zhou. After listening, Ye Zhou nodded secretly and replied:

"There is nothing wrong with the two principles. This technology, including the technology I will provide in the future, must still be in the hands of the state. However, on the second principle, I feel that in order to achieve concrete implementation, we still need to fully discuss the strategy. "

"In the future, technology updates will be faster and faster. We can't hide every technology for a while and then take it out. This will make ourselves uncomfortable. However, we really can't release too much in a single organization. Technology, which is likely to make an organization a key target of the enemy, is inconsistent with our disaster recovery principles."

"Let me tell you my thoughts on this situation."

"It is impossible for the government to take the lead in the research and development and application of technology. Doing so is too inefficient, takes up a lot of resources, and cannot achieve the best results."

“What we should do is to leverage the power of the private sector, use technology to leverage capital, and at the same time use technology to limit capital, leverage our strength, and liberate the country from complex and tedious routine work, and focus on overall control and Core technology expansion research and development.”

"So, my suggestion is that a special official organization should be established - you know, we used to have a department called the Heavy Equipment Office for the research and development of large-scale high-tech equipment, right? I think that in the subsequent technology promotion, , we should also set up such a department.”

The rustle of a pen tip writing quickly came from the other end of the phone. After a moment, Chen Hao said:

"This is a very good idea. Using a powerful organization controlled by the state to connect all relevant entities and implement unified management and deployment will indeed improve the efficiency a lot. But the question is, will this do anything to our private economy? Too much interference? I am personally worried about an excessively planned economy - not just me, but my superiors will also consider this issue."

Ye Zhou hummed and did not answer immediately.

He understood what Chen Hao meant. If social and economic development were all determined and deployed by a single organization, private enterprises would quickly lose their vitality, and their R\u0026D capabilities and operating capabilities would also be significantly affected.

In the operation of state-owned enterprises in the last century, we actually suffered this loss.

Therefore, it is normal for him to have such concerns. No one wants to make the same mistakes he made in large state-owned enterprises again.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Zhou answered:

"Your concerns are right. In order to avoid this problem, we must ensure that this organization does not interfere in the management of other private companies, and we must also ensure that it does not use the technical resources it possesses to guide the direction and process of technological development at will."

"To do this, we must ensure that this organization not only has strong self-correction capabilities, but also must face the most severe supervision."

"This kind of supervision must ensure that people within the organization do not dare to make mistakes. If they make a mistake, it will be a crime of beheading."

"So, we have to invest the most powerful regulatory resources in the country in this organization. I am not professional on this, but you can use this plan to discuss with your superiors and let them come up with regulatory strategies."

"I think, given our current environment, it is not difficult to implement strict supervision. Of course, it will not be difficult to find a group of people who will never take the initiative to make mistakes."

Chen Hao on the other end of the phone kept writing down Ye Zhou's words with a pen, and then replied:

"I understand, you want to set up an organization similar to Cheka in addition to this operating organization to ensure efficient operation through strong control."

Hearing Chen Hao's words, Ye Zhou's expression suddenly changed, and then he quickly denied:

"Don't talk nonsense. When did I say I was going to engage in Cheka? Can I say such nonsense?"

"I'm just saying that we need strong supervision, but the supervision department can also be the department we already have. Even if we use the Discipline Inspection Commission to manage it? Are you afraid of the Cheka?"

Chen Hao also realized that he had said the wrong thing, smiled awkwardly and said:

"I'm not giving you an example. Don't worry, the organization will consider it. I assure you, this supervision will never be a Cheka model."

"It's not that we can't make it into the Cheka model, but it has nothing to do with the Cheka at all, do you understand? Forget it, I don't want to talk to you about this anymore. Let's get back to the original topic. You can discuss the name of the operating organization yourself. But I hope it can be built as soon as possible, because I am very anxious now. The battery technology must be put on the market as soon as possible. Otherwise, once we lose the opportunity, it will be difficult to catch up."

"You yourself are from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and you know the things about Swift best. If the ugly country really bans us from using Swift, although we say that we can use digital soft coins and resource replacement to break the situation, the efficiency is still low. A lot."

"Even a 20% reduction in efficiency is a major problem for us. Therefore, we must move forward at full speed on this technology."

The so-called Swift is a digital message for global inter-bank settlement. Its rules are in the hands of the United States. If it is banned from use, it means that foreign trade, especially bulk commerce, cannot complete transactions through bank transfers. For oil transactions, The impact is particularly huge.

This kind of ban is not without precedent. Various companies in Mao Xiong have suffered before, and the next one will probably be China's turn.

After hearing Ye Zhou's words, Chen Hao replied:

"I understand. Don't think too much about the name. Let's call it the General Technology Planning Office, or the General Technical Office for short. In addition, I would like to ask, what are your plans for the sulfur silicon battery technology you mentioned? How long will it take? Can you apply within 10 seconds?”

Ye Zhou was silent for a moment, and then answered:

"Two weeks. I have a complete set of technical documents and everything is ready-made. I just need to follow the instructions."

"Now some domestic manufacturers have already had relevant equipment, but the technological exploration has not yet reached the breakthrough point."

"So, I can only give you two weeks. Within two weeks, I must see the first sulfur-silicon battery come off the production line, be installed on the car, and run two thousand kilometers."

"If this goal cannot be achieved, you, the future director of the General Technical Office, should go to your leaders and admit your mistakes."

"."

Chen Hao was silent for a few seconds, then sighed and said:

"You really don't want to let me rest. I will try my best, but two weeks is too short. Give me three weeks."

"Hold it, it's only three weeks."

After saying that, Ye Zhou hung up the phone.

Chen Hao on the other side shook his head and walked towards the video conference room with a wry smile. He knew that many people would work overtime and stay up late with him this night.

Three days later, at the Master Technology Planning Office, the first batch of companies selected for the planning list included Ningde, BYD, Guoxuan, Barrett, and Shanshan.

The heads of these companies signed technology exclusivity and confidentiality agreements with the highest efficiency, and obtained seats to participate in the sulfur silicon battery project.

They will use a transcendent coordination strategy within an extremely limited time to seize the first high ground for the domestic new energy battle.

At the same time, an independent regulatory department with Ye Zhou as the core was established. This department has no physical organization, but can mobilize the audit force in any domestic system and enjoys 100% supervision power over the General Technical Office.

The name of the organization continued from the name in a previous operation, codenamed Pyrotechnics.
