Chapter 309 Chewing Gum Battery(1/2)
Author: quiet thoughts
"Professor Aihara, I'm troubled by the battery formula."
"Don't worry, if you improve the formula on the basis of increasing the volume, it shouldn't be difficult."
Toshio Aihara has already obtained the battery formula given to him by Hongkawa Keyuan, which means that the nickel-cadmium battery technology that Hongkawa Electric originally exchanged from Souji.
Along with that recipe, there was a lot of discarded experimental data from the past.
After Hongchuan Kaede's various big sword strategies and the accompanying special compensation were received.
Tori Kubo from the Souho Battery Division happily waved his leg and packed all the useless data lying in the data room gathering dust to Hongchuan Electric.
With those experimental data, Toshio Aihara can get twice the result with half the effort and save a lot of time when looking for new formulas.
Moreover, it is a coincidence that Toshio Aihara once spent several years in Soushi's research institute before returning to Tohoku University in the 1960s and continuing to work in the research institute.
Because of those familiar data, Toshio Aihara could only sigh, the fate is wonderful.
Hongchuan Maple's new generation of nickel-cadmium batteries can at least support high-end Walkmans to smoothly listen to both sides of a tape, with a lot of margin.
Nowadays, the cumulative time of songs on both sides of a tape is generally about 60 minutes. Of course, there is also a mini version of 45 minutes or a super long version of 120 minutes.
But that is not a general specification after all. Based on normal working hours, the newly developed battery can support the Walkman's continuous operation for at least 1.5 to 2 hours.
Two AA-sized batteries like Ming can provide about 40 minutes of working time.
And if we still design according to the specifications of AA battery, but want to increase the battery capacity by more than 2 times, to be honest, it is too difficult.
After all, the formula of cough syrup must have been verified countless times, and there is not much room for leaps and bounds improvement on the existing basis.
If you want to achieve a long battery life of 2 hours, the battery specifications need to be redesigned.
The reference specifications Hongkawa Kaede gave to Toshio Aihara are flat batteries with a length of about 6 centimeters and a width of less than 2 centimeters.
That kind of battery is not the chewing gum battery that has been popular for a while in later generations. It has been widely used in electronic products such as Walkmans, portable CD players, and cameras.
The capacity of that kind of battery can reach 1000mAh at one time, and the two cells combined can easily run the Walkman for an hour and a half.
More importantly, its cost is very low and it can be recharged and used repeatedly.
To be honest, the battery feels a bit custom-made, which is true. It is a product designed and developed to solve the problem of battery life of the Walkman.
Now Hongchuan Feng still plans to do that, and Hongchuan's chewing gum battery's first application product will also be a Walkman.
Of course, this is one of the products of the battery factory in Akita. Hongchuan Keyuan also makes ordinary AA batteries and AA batteries.
Compared to Bu Nao and Sanyo's current market share, Hongchuan Keyuan is definitely better than Bu Nao.
But the product has to be made and put on the market. It doesn’t matter whether it makes money or not. It has to at least create a sense of presence.
That way, when chewing gum batteries come out later, the public will not be so unfamiliar with the "Hongchuan" brand.
In addition, the production of batteries is not a short-term goal, and using this as a step to develop new batteries is a long-term plan.
Northeastern University has specialized chemical courses, and there are many materials and chemistry research institutes outside the school.
Let’s use those resources to build up Hongchuan Keyuan first, and then cooperate with schools on cutting-edge research and development projects.
In addition, when the factory in Akita is established, Hongchuan Keyuan will also recruit a large number of graduates from Northeastern University.
Many of the students studying at universities there are from the Northeast.
I made the mistake of going to work in Akita, so there must be no psychological barrier.
In a few years, Hongchuan Keyuan's own R&D capabilities will probably be fully formed.
At that time, you can also take advantage of the opportunity to step into research in fields such as nickel-metal hydride batteries and lithium batteries.
The seed has been planted, and the rest is waiting for it to bloom.
Hong Chuanfeng made a personal trip to Northeastern University, and things were basically settled.
In addition to the battery project, Bu Nao also talked with the school about Hongchuan Electric's future recruitment work.
It turned out to be very smooth. Northeastern University had a very good impression of being an industrial company like Hongchuan Electric.
On the one hand, Hongchuan Electric’s reputation is consistent with its teaching philosophy.
By cooperating with such a well-known company, the school itself will feel more at ease, and at the same time, it will provide students with more employment options.
In addition to the fact that they both belong to the Northeast, the two sides naturally wanted to be closer.
I met people from all walks of life in the school, and two days passed.
After finishing things there, Hongchuan Kaede returned to Tokyo without stopping.
There are still many things waiting for him there, such as the chip developed in cooperation with Fujitsu, and the products it is applied to will be released soon.
Back in Tokyo, Hongchuan Kaede was a little tired from running back and forth for several days.
In a single-family villa in Chiyoda District, he lay alone on a large bed and turned over.
Hmm? I always feel like something is missing around me.
Hongchuan Feng frowned and took a look. When he saw the familiar pajamas on the clothes hanger in the bedroom, he suddenly remembered.
It seems that the senior sister hasn't been here for a while. When he returned to Tokyo after the New Year, he kept going there and didn't pay attention to them for a while.
I also made a phone call during this period, and she said that she was filming recently, but Hong Chuanfeng didn't think much about it.
But now that I think about it, it seems a bit good, and the filming shouldn’t take that long.
And I haven’t heard of her going on location, so what’s the reason?
Hongchuan Feng decided to give up being a mediocre person here. He is an out-and-out activist.
He did what he said, he got up directly and went to the east of the building.
"Sa Ma, let Xiao Dao come over."
"Hai" Sama immediately turned around and went to make a phone call.
Hongchuan Feng was asked to go out, so she was called to the island.
In fact, Sa Ma can also drive, as long as he has just learned it and is very inexperienced.
Hongchuan Feng just wants to be on the safe side and let the veteran driver Kojima do it.
Soon after a quarter of an hour, Kojima drove the Toyota Century and parked at the door.
"Go to Yoyogi Zaihara."
Xiaodao understood immediately, started the car and headed straight for his destination.
Half an hour later, in front of the familiar building, Hongchuan Feng raised her leg and knocked on the door.
"Squeak", a familiar figure appeared outside the door.
"Eh?" Tanaka Yuko was very surprised to see him outside. Her face looked a little surprised at first, but she quickly turned dark again.
"Why am I here?"
However, Hongchuan Feng didn't intend to answer anything at all, he hugged her directly and walked out of the house.
"Wait a minute, he has a question for you."
"We'll talk about it in the next month." Hongchuan Feng picked her up and threw her on the bed.
If you have any questions, let’s talk first.
After ruthlessly killing her majesty, Hongchuan Feng lay down on the bed with satisfaction and entered the sage state.
As for Tanaka Yuko, she lay in his arms with a blushing face.
"Hongchuan-kun"
"Huh?" Hongchuan Feng is still in a daze.
Tanaka Yuko looked at him and hesitated to speak, but the questions in his mind had not been settled before.
"What's wrong?" She didn't ask, but Hongchuan Feng turned around and asked.
"Nothing." Tanaka Yuko shook his head.
Hey, what's the situation? Why do you look so thoughtful?
"That's wrong, Mr. Hongchuan. He has taken on another morning drama. The filming will probably start at the end of the year. After filming that drama, he wants to take a break."
"Eh?" Hongchuan Feng turned to look at her in surprise, "What happened? Why do you think that way?"
As far as Hongchuan Kaede knows, she probably likes filming. Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken Meiji's drama major after graduating from high school.
Facing his surprise, Tanaka Yuko smiled calmly.
"I also acted a lot in those two years, so my dream has come true. So, I probably have no regrets in my heart."
It has been more than three years since her debut, and she has been exposed to a lot of TV series and movies.
Unlike ordinary newcomers, Keke has just entered the industry three years ago, and there are many who are still doing small jobs.
But since Hong Chuanfeng bought her firm and made her the majority shareholder behind the scenes.
Many things seem to have gone smoothly, she can take on the roles she wants, and she has refused all the roles that made her feel a little embarrassed in the past.
