Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

Chapter 897 Xiao Zhou is here~

After getting on the red flag again and leaving the campus, Brother Boatman said:

"Mr. Zhou, how far do you think we are from commercialization?"

According to his estimate, if Fan Zusong's speed remains unchanged, it is expected to enter commercial production in about "two and a half years".

Zhou Rui already has an extra notebook in his hand, which is a bound volume of his commonly used papers.

I turned it over and used it as a scratch paper to write and draw.

"It's quite a long way. There are too many things that need to be optimized, such as cycle rate, self-discharge, and production process."

It takes two and a half months to hurry up.

Wang Chuanfu nodded and advised himself to calm down. Mr. Zhou said it was quite far, which meant it was really quite far.

But I don't know that the "far" on both sides is not the same "far".

Of course, Zhou Rui is referring to “a single product for special equipment needs, and it is the first generation product.”

It is not “a variety of products that can be widely used in various fields and fully replace other batteries.”

Even if he had just cheated, it was impossible to understand all the technical directions of lithium-sulfur batteries at a glance. The theoretical research on the battery itself still relied on Fan Zusong and others.

Zhou Rui’s most impressive approach is through his top-notch engineering skills from the perspective of battery design and mass production processes.

If lithium-sulfur batteries are successfully commercialized, they will have a wide range of applications.

For example, an electric car can run 3,000 kilometers on a single charge, or a mobile phone cannot be charged for three days and three nights.

It’s not that Fan Zusong is awesome, but that the lithium-sulfur battery itself is so powerful. In the past, it was just unsafe to use, disposable, and had no economic benefits. Fan Zusong solves these problems.

Including Zhou Rui's own things, there are many application points.

Like combat time, bah! Drones with a battery life of more than ten hours, "intelligent unit" technology that can be disconnected from external power sources, even mortise and tenon joints in the sky, robot dogs on the ground, and countless messy smart devices can all be strengthened at once.

The fragrance is still very fragrant.

Especially since it takes so little effort.

"But Mr. Wang must be aware that some things are difficult to miniaturize, and some things are difficult to enlarge, and lithium-sulfur batteries belong to the latter."

"Sulfur and lithium sulfide (Li2S) have poor electrical conductivity and poor chemical kinetic properties, which seriously affect the high-rate performance of the battery. There is still a long way to go to support large equipment such as electric vehicles. It is most likely to be made first. It should be a small to medium-sized finished battery.”

Zhou Rui smiled slightly:

"If we narrow the scope further, mobile phone batteries involve the overall architecture, and integration will also increase the difficulty of design, so the first to come out should be small and medium-sized batteries suitable for drones."

Wang Chuanfu was a little helpless, but he still smiled: "It doesn't matter, the intelligent drone is also manufactured by me. I accumulate experience and slowly iterate and improve it. One day, I will make a rechargeable drone." A tram that can run 3,000 kilometers on electricity!”

Zhou Rui: "Then I'll wait. Then I'll change the red flag and take your car."

"As promised, I'll give you the entire special edition!"

While chatting, the group arrived at the dinner venue, and then they staged a "special reception in Shandong Province": arranging seats.

Zhou Rui was the guest of honor, Principal Lu was the guest of honor, Wang Chuanfu was the second guest, Fan Zusong was the second guest, Lin Tuo was the third guest, and a female teacher was the third guest.

A group of people stood in the box, and it took almost a quarter of an hour to arrange the seats.

Zhou Rui, who was in the queue, was sleepy.

——————

Returning to the hotel in the evening, after excluding all irrelevant people, Zhou Rui, Wang Chuanfu, and Fan Zusong sat at the tea break on the side of the lobby and chatted about many things.

Zhou Rui finally officially recognized Fan Zusong and admitted that he had been the one who had been coaching remotely.

The truth is not difficult to guess, but Fan Zusong is still very emotional. When the project team's life was hanging by a thread and they went to Fuda to attend an academic conference, he could only say that everything was an arrangement of fate.

Song~ I have been wandering for half my life, only regretting that I have never met my master.

Today's hexagram is indeed correct, red with purple, my own purple star has come to the world, or it has come to the world a long time ago!

Look at the past six months, he has become so strong that I feel terrible!

Zhou Rui also curiously asked why Fan Zusong carried a Bagua tray with him. He learned that this man was extremely obsessed with metaphysics. He had to choose auspicious times and positions, bathe and burn incense for an experiment.

Somewhat speechless, but still acceptable.

The good thing about Fan Zusong is that he is not pure metaphysics, but metaphysics assists science.

Perhaps his anonymous advice every time was a little too vague, causing this old comrade to embark on the wrong path of "enlightenment".

And the "success" time and time again made him believe more and more in his "metaphysics".

In science, it's normal to have some quirks. Einstein also liked to walk in women's shoes. He felt that slight foot pain could help him reorganize his thinking.

Fan Zusong's approach is pretty good. Regardless of whether it is really useful or not, "metaphysics" has now become one of Fan Zusong's sources of inspiration. It should be regarded as keeping his mind active and soothing his mood.

The three talked about a lot that night and set the tone for the "lithium-sulfur battery" project.

The first is the address issue. Jiaodong is relatively far away from BYAT and Kaisheng Intelligence. The basic conditions here are slightly lacking. It is certain to change the location. Later, it will be packed and moved to Shenzhen.

As for why it is not placed in Shanghai, it is because Zhou Rui does not have the energy to take care of it, so it is most appropriate to maintain remote guidance.

In addition, after today, half of Zhou Rui's rights and interests will be officially incorporated into the industrial and commercial system, and will be transformed from a gentleman's agreement to legal rights and responsibilities.

Another project always needs a "majority vote". Brother Chuanfu knows very well who is the key person in this. On the basis of half and half, he gave up a point and let Zhou Rui become the 51%.

Zhou Rui did not refuse.

The scale of the laboratory must be expanded, and preparations for industrial production are expected. The total investment in five years is expected to be no less than 500 million, with no upper limit, and patent barriers will be gradually built.

This work is actually already being done, but the results have been too rich in the past six months, and the speed of patent registration is not as fast as the speed of results output.

Fan Zusong made a small wish, that is, when the time is right, he hopes to publish papers under his own name. This will undoubtedly be a number of heavyweight results. He has been engaged in scientific research for a lifetime and wants to leave a little "trace" of himself.

Zhou Rui and Wang Chuanfu have no objections. The economic benefits of the results have been divided up, and Fan Zusong is left with only a high salary. There is no need to stop this matter. Just publish it later according to the progress of the patent and research.

It was past two in the morning when the three of them finished talking. Zhou Rui stood up and said, "Okay, it's getting late. Let's talk tomorrow."

Wang Chuanfu nodded and stood up to look at Fan Zusong, "Where is Professor Fan's home? I'll ask the driver to take you there."

Fan Zusong smiled shyly and said after a while, "Well, I just read a fortune and it's not suitable to move today. Can I stay in a hotel? I can pay for it myself."

The next morning, Zhou Rui went downstairs for breakfast and happened to meet Wang Chuanfu and Fan Zusong.

"Mr. Zhou, did you have a good rest last night?"

"Not bad"

"Let's go to the laboratory after dinner."

While chatting, Zhou Rui picked up some prawns, bacon and other foods, mainly protein.

When passing by the staple food area, he was suddenly stunned.

The buffet stove here actually contained a kind of rouge-red rice.

Red and prosperous, trance-like.

Seeing Zhou Rui in a daze, Fan Zusong took the initiative to say: "This is our specialty, sea rice. The red color is because it is rich in selenium and amino acids. Master Zhou has never seen it, right?"

Zhou Rui suddenly laughed: "I haven't seen it, but I am familiar with it. Weicheng is not far from here, right?"

Fan Zusong was confused: "It's next to it."

Some memories were evoked, and Zhou Rui took out his mobile phone and made a call.

About a few minutes later, he got the exact news and turned to Wang Chuanfu and said: "I won't go to the laboratory today. I have to visit an elder."

After thinking about it, he added: "If you are willing, you can go together. He likes to chat with young people, especially those who are engaged in technology."

Wang Chuanfu thought: I am 50 years old, am I a young person?

Fan Zusong was even more puzzled: I am 60 years old, am I still a young person?

Zhou Rui said mysteriously: "Let me show you what top connections are."

The group got in the car and headed for the neighboring Wei City.

Two hours later, they stopped at a seaside farmland.

There was a sign next to it that was weathered and faded: "National Sea Rice Planting Base Experimental Field".

Everyone was confused.

Until there was a movement in the rice field. An old, shriveled hand pressed down a green rice ear as tall as a person, revealing a face familiar to everyone.

Behind Zhou Rui, Wang Chuanfu was stunned.

This is really a top connection.

Fan Zusong was even more shocked!

That's right! The hexagram is right again!

If I had gone home last night, I wouldn't have had the honor today!

The elder was in high spirits, even better than three years ago, and smiled brightly:

"Xiao Zhou, are you here to help plant rice?"

Zhou Rui smiled, took off his coat, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and jumped down the ridge directly:

"Here I come~"
