If you cheat, money will follow

Pingtou Ge Research Institute.

Chang Le and Liu Chaoyang walked to the Materials Research Institute together.

Accompanied by Shu Zhijie and Lin Li.

"Academician Liu, have you produced anything again?" Chang Le asked.

"Yes, the Institute of Materials Research's photovoltaic panels have made new breakthroughs in technology. After our demonstration, we have basically entered the commercial application stage." Liu Chaoyang said.

"Who is the project leader?" Chang Le asked.

"Chen Zhaoyuan."

"Chen Zhaoyuan? No impression."

"If it weren't for this technological breakthrough, I wouldn't have any impression." Liu Chaoyang explained:

"He graduated from Nankai with a Ph.D. four years ago, and his teacher is a top scientist in photovoltaic research in China."

"He thought that the young man Chen Zhaoyuan had great potential and was a talent that could be developed, so he recommended him to me."

"After he entered the Materials Research Institute, he has been concentrating on the photovoltaic industry, and now he has made a big technological breakthrough."

"Ah."

The four of them came to the front yard of the Materials Research Institute.

Chen Zhaoyuan and members of the project team are already waiting in Qianping.

There is also a black panel next to it, which is a photoelectric conversion device.

"Boss, Academician Liu, Director Shu, Dr. Lin..." Chen Zhaoyuan greeted them one by one.

"Dr. Chen, let me introduce you." Chang Le nodded.

"Okay. Boss, Dean Liu, this is the latest research result of our team..." Chen Zhaoyuan introduced:

"Photovoltaic panels based on Dr. Lin's carbon nanotubes, compared with other materials, have a solar energy conversion efficiency of 50%..."

"The conversion efficiency is more than twice that of the current mainstream crystalline silicon photovoltaic panels, and far exceeds the utilization efficiency of perovskite photovoltaic cells that are being vigorously developed in Europe and the United States. Their utilization efficiency in the laboratory is 2%."

"Zhaoyuan, don't introduce it in such a succinct manner. The boss is not a professional. If you introduce it like this, I won't understand." Liu Chaoyang interrupted.

"Yes, just treat me like a layman who doesn't know anything and teach me some science." Chang Le said with a smile.

"Oh, okay, I didn't think well." Chen Zhaoyuan looked embarrassed. After returning to normal, he continued to introduce:

"Solar energy is composed of light of different wavelengths, that is, photons of different frequencies. Solar photovoltaic panels use the energy of these photons of different frequencies to convert them into electrical energy..."

"The mainstream crystalline silicon solar photovoltaic panels currently on the market cannot fully absorb photon energy of all frequencies..."

"It can only absorb near-infrared light, visible light, and ultraviolet light, which have moderate wavelengths and can enter the panel."

"Light with longer wavelengths such as infrared light cannot be absorbed, nor can photons with shorter wavelengths. These photons will generate heat and be lost as soon as they contact the panel."

"So the efficiency is very low. Currently, the mature technology that has been commercialized has a monocrystalline silicon conversion efficiency of 16-18%, and the highest conversion rate in the laboratory is 25%:"

"The photoelectric conversion rate of polycrystalline silicon is between 14% and 16%, and the highest conversion rate in the laboratory is 20.4%;"

"The current highest conversion efficiency of thin-film single-junction cells in the laboratory is 29.1%."

"The utilization efficiency of perovskite photovoltaic cells, which are being vigorously developed in Europe and the United States, is 33.5% in the laboratory."

"We applied a new material, which is the batch-prepared high-purity carbon nanotubes studied by Dr. Lin."

"Using this high-purity carbon nanotube, a hyperbolic thermal emitter is produced, which compresses photons of various frequencies that cannot be used and converts them into usable photons of the same frequency."

"Through experimental verification, this method, the theoretical conversion efficiency of carbon nanotube photovoltaic panels is more than 80%, and the conversion efficiency that has been achieved so far is 50%."

What does a conversion efficiency of 50% mean?

This means that each square meter of solar panel can output 1000 watts of electrical power per hour and 500 kilowatt hour of electricity every 2 hours under standard sunlight conditions (1 watts/square meter).

Calculated based on standard sunshine hours (1300 hours) per year, 650 kWh of electricity can be generated.

The current domestic building roof area excluding plateau areas is 315 billion square meters.

According to a penetration rate of 15% (not all rooftops are equipped with solar panels), it means that 2.93 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity can be produced.

In 2018, the country’s total power generation was 6.99 trillion kilowatt-hours, with 2.91 trillion kilowatt-hours accounting for 41.91%.

Energy independence will take the most solid step.

After hearing the introduction, Chang Le was very excited and clapped:

"Dr. Chen, congratulations. The contribution of you and your team cannot be measured in terms of money. Of course, money is definitely indispensable."

"Thank you, boss." Chen Zhaoyuan said happily:

"I would like to thank the company for its continued support of R&D funds and R&D equipment at all costs..."

"I would also like to thank Academician Liu and Director Shu for their technical guidance and Dr. Lin Li for her technical support in the preparation of high-purity carbon nanotubes."

"Without high-purity carbon nanotube preparation technology, it would be difficult for this technology to get out of the laboratory."

"Haha, this world is closely connected after all, and no one can live alone." Chang Le laughed:

“Similarly, science and technology are also interconnected and mutually reinforcing.”

"A technological breakthrough can often trigger more technological progress and promote development and innovation in the entire scientific and technological field."

"The boss is right. Therefore, the institute cannot ignore any field or any tiny detail in the future." Liu Chaoyang deeply agreed.

Just after he finished speaking, he answered a phone call.

After answering the phone, his face looked very ugly.

"What's wrong?" Chang Le asked.

Liu Chaoyang said a few words in Chang Le's ear.

Chang Le frowned suddenly, then shook his head helplessly:

"Come on, let's go to the door to greet them."

The two left and headed to the gate of the institute.

on the way.

"Hey, I have always been very cautious in safety management. Before joining each research institute, I will entrust the relevant departments to conduct background checks. I didn't expect that something like this would happen." Liu Chaoyang sighed.

"It's normal, human nature is like this, people's hearts will change." Chang Le said.

"However, no matter how you change, you can't betray the country. What's more, the treatment offered by the institute is already very high." Liu Chaoyang said.

"No matter how high the salary is, before there is no output, it cannot make people rich overnight and have financial freedom." Chang Le said.

"Too."

The two came to the gate and met two security department staff.

Two security department staff members showed their work IDs and relevant letters to Chang Le and Liu Chaoyang.

Chang Le and Liu Chaoyang welcomed the two people in and came to the office.

Two staff from the security department informed Chang Le and Liu Chaoyang of the relevant situation.

It turned out that a researcher at the Institute of Biology was in contact with overseas intelligence agencies and selling relevant research information.

At the transaction site, he was caught red-handed by the security agency.

After review, it was found that the researcher had been betrayed once before.

The technology used at that time was a breast enhancement technology that was said to have no side effects and conformed to the laws of nature.

For this breast enhancement technology, overseas institutions paid US$500 million.

In this transaction, the researcher provided another height-growing technology that claimed to have no side effects and conformed to the laws of nature.

"According to the researcher's confession, he also prepared weight loss technology, longevity technology, etc. These technologies are all fabricated. His purpose is to use his identity as a researcher at Pingtou Ge Research Institute to engage in technology fraud." The staff member said:

"Currently, the superiors are studying how to deal with this situation? However, the researcher has violated relevant laws by contacting overseas intelligence agencies privately, so he will definitely no longer be able to work at the institute."

"I'm here today just to inform you two of the situation. Please understand."

Chang Le: "..."

Liu Chaoyang: "..."

What a genius!

"Academician Liu, we'd better hold an internal meeting to report the situation." Chang Le said:

"Such situations must be prevented, lest researchers act smart, imitate others, and engage in fraud."

Liu Chaoyang nodded: "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

"Then let me ask you, did Japan's previous actions against our institute follow similar logic?" Chang Le asked.

"Yes, the retired researcher failed to start a business, so he thought of this method and casually fabricated a piece of information and sold it to the island country." said a staff member of the security department.

Chang Le: "..."

Liu Chaoyang: "..."

Lucky hit?
