Chapter 348 Take other people’s path and leave others with no way to go
Ye Wei didn't know.
Just when he was lamenting that "big guys are awesome", the mood of those "big guys" whom he praised was not much calmer than him at this moment.
"There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people..."
"Indeed, I have to accept it."
"Hey...it feels like these more than ten years of experiments have been in vain."
Chinese Academy of Sciences, Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering.
Academician Liu Yiping's office.
The researchers sitting at the desks were all holding their mobile phones and scrolling there, waving their thumbs up with emotion on their faces.
What happened in the past few days was like a dream to them.
Until a week ago, they were so busy that they wished they could split into two.
However, now, everyone is suddenly free and even have time to brush their scarves.
Actually it's not just them.
This is also the current situation of most "project groups engaged in research in similar directions".
The impact of the No. 404 artificial SEI film on the entire industry can be described as "one step at a time".
After a thousand charge and discharge cycles, there is almost no capacity fading!
There is no tree-shaped dead lithium on the negative electrode at all!
The effect was so shocking that they once suspected that there was a malfunction in the experimental equipment.
It was not until more and more repeated experimental results came out that they gradually became convinced that the problem was not with their eyes and experimental equipment, but with this too-real world...
Maybe that kind of genius really exists in this world.
Even if you are outside the entire research system, even if you are not discussing and communicating with any colleagues, you can still come up with shocking research results without saying a word.
"...the current news is really worthless. I've been browsing for almost two hours, but I can't find any useful clues."
The doctoral student wearing glasses couldn't help but complain.
His name is Lin Shengyu, and he is a student of Academician Liu Yiping. He has been exploring the future of lithium batteries with Mr. Liu since his master's degree.
"Are you still searching for that 'cooperating unit'?" the senior brother on the side joked with a smile.
"Yes," Lin Shengyu nodded and asked, "Aren't you curious?"
"I'm curious, how can I not be curious? But what's the use of being curious? We don't even know what the cooperative unit is, how do you expect others to know?" The senior brother said with a smile.
I feel ashamed to say it.
The whole Internet is hotly discussing that mysterious cooperative unit, but they themselves in the whirlpool don't know who that cooperative unit is.
Another senior brother also chimed in.
"Give it up, what do you think those reporters can know about what Lao Liu refuses to say?"
Lin Shengyu said nothing, his eyes still fixed on the screen of his mobile phone, his expression clearly showed disbelief.
The senior brothers and sisters next to him had already started chatting about other topics.
"Now that the problem of lithium dendrites has been solved, what should we study next?"
"Cathode material? Electrolyte? Separator?"
"I don't know. I'll have to wait until Old Liu comes back to know which direction to choose."
"What about Old Liu? Why haven't I seen him these past few days?"
"Such a big thing happened in the industry, so I guess I went to a meeting."
Just because the lithium dendrite problem has been solved doesn't mean they have nothing to do.
Rather, there are still a lot of things waiting for them to do.
With the breakthrough of the bottleneck, it has become possible for lithium anode batteries to move from the laboratory to people's lives, and a new technical route is placed in front of everyone.
What to use for the positive electrode?
What is used as electrolyte?
What to study, how to study it, and a series of other issues need further discussion.
This technology changes not only the industry, but also them as researchers.
Only those who are at the forefront are qualified to decide how to go in the future.
They used to be pursuers.
But now, the initiative to choose the future path is in their hands.
They will determine the future of the new energy industry, and the world is waiting for their answers.
But having said that, there is one question that still lingers in everyone's mind.
That artificial SEI film...
Where did it come from?
…
"Lao Liu is probably very busy these days."
"Hahaha, isn't that for sure! Such a big thing has happened in the lithium battery industry. If he doesn't take charge of the overall situation, he can't bother our distant friends."
"Academician Liu is still too principled and doesn't even want to name himself."
"It's not unreasonable for him to do this. After all, any secret has a time limit. This matter cannot be kept hidden forever. Sooner or later it will be made public."
Somewhere in the same world, this matter is also being discussed.
Most of the people sitting in the office meeting had dark circles under their eyes, but excitement and joy could be seen clearly on every face.
In fact, regarding the issue of "extraterrestrial civilization", although superiors have given instructions to observe carefully, some details have always been controversial.
For example, the "Enlightenmentists" believe that extraterrestrial civilizations are enlightening human civilization through "games", a cultural form that they can understand, and ultimately leading humans to the stars.
The "interventionists" believe that extraterrestrial civilizations try to intervene in the internal affairs of human beings and interfere with the historical process of human civilization with their own will in order to achieve ulterior purposes.
The two views are actually pretty much the same.
The only difference is that one is above neutral and the other is below neutral.
Of course, in addition to the mainstream views, there are also some non-mainstream views, such as the "Jungle Sect", "Captivity Sect" and so on.
However, since this discussion has not evolved into a society-wide discussion, the current controversy is still dominated by "enlightenment" and "interference".
Most of the members of the task force are naturally "enlightened", not only because some of them have participated in that game, but also because they have been following the progress of game version updates.
This breakthrough in lithium battery technology is not only related to the national energy strategy and energy use safety, but also allows the "Enlightenment" to gain a greater say in extraterrestrial civilization affairs.
"Actually, I have been thinking about a question." The man in police uniform suddenly said.
"What's the problem?" the man with a Chinese character asked with a smile.
The man in police uniform spoke slowly. "I am engaged in criminal investigation, so I may be more concerned about the suspect's motives... I really don't understand why they are helping us?"
"Perhaps it is to allow the opinions of the 'Enlightenment' to become mainstream within us?" the man wearing glasses said jokingly.
The man with the Chinese character's face thought for a moment and replied.
"I don't rule out this possibility, but I feel that this is not the main purpose."
"What do you think the main purpose is?" The old man cast a curious look at him.
As the only person in the office who has qualified for the closed beta test of "Wasteland OL", he is probably the one with the most say in "Wasteland OL" among everyone here.
"We have discussed this issue a long time ago. Extraterrestrial civilizations may want to bring us some enlightenment through cultural forms that we can understand."
The expression of the man in the green shirt gradually became serious.
"You mean...three battles?"
Hearing the word "three wars", the atmosphere in the office became a little solemn.
In fact, before the "Enlightenment" gained power, there were many supporters of the "Prophecy". The view of this group of people is that extraterrestrial civilization is revealing to them the future of mankind three hundred years from now.
However, predicting the future is too mystical and lacks scientific basis, so it has never prevailed.
The man with the Chinese character face shook his head.
"That shouldn't be the case. I think rather than predicting a war, what they might want to express is that we will fight the fourth war with fire sticks... Isn't this what our players do in the game?
?"
After making a joke to lighten the atmosphere, he paused and continued.
"There are more than 7 billion people and more than 200 countries and regions on the earth. Even if we ignore the different voices within each country, our civilization can make more than 200 voices. If I were a diplomat of an extraterrestrial civilization, I would
Eighty percent of them will go crazy."
"Before heading towards the galaxy, we should form a united and unified community with a shared future. We can have different opinions internally, but when facing external civilizations, we must ensure that our voices are consistent."
"As I understand enlightenment, technological support is only one of the means of 'enlightenment', not the ultimate goal. Maybe 'they' hope to use this method to help us achieve unity at the civilizational level."
Everyone in the office looked at each other involuntarily.
The old man frowned slightly.
"This interpretation is very interesting... If it is really what you said, then the significance of this matter is not trivial."
"It's just a hypothesis. Our official communication with 'them' has not yet begun. All speculations are just our unilateral interpretations. All the assumptions we make now are just to prevent problems before they happen."
After a moment of pause, the man with a Chinese-character face continued with a serious expression.
"I have communicated with my superiors about this issue. We will establish a separate scientific development foundation in the near future to be responsible for matters related to technology introduction."
"Including establishing a 'silver coin' reserve and normalized acquisition mechanism, formulating relevant rules for technology introduction, and guiding social forces to take initiative and actively participate in this cause that benefits the country and the people."
"No matter what choice we make in the end, there is only one thing we have to do, and that is to maintain our advantages!"
You can obey authority urgently once or twice, but it is impossible to obey authority urgently every time. Continuous transfer of benefits will only create a huge and lazy Leviathan, laying the foundation for future troubles. What's more, although keeping secrets is
One of the means to maintain technological advantage, but the real advantage is never maintained by secrecy.
These words don’t sound good, but they are all historical experiences.
As rule makers, they need to ensure that the rules are as complete as possible, reduce the space for power rent-seeking, ensure the personal safety of players who introduce technology to the collective, and prevent a small group of people with ulterior motives from harming the interests and image of the collective and taking advantage of themselves.
The power, status and perverse doctrines of others are used to rob others to satisfy their own selfish desires, and even transport the benefits abroad.
"...Fortunately, I noticed that a special company has appeared in Shanghai recently, and its business scope is exactly the same as the area we focus on."
"This is obviously a good start."
"That... what kind of company are you talking about?" When talking about this, the old man looked quite regretful, "I've heard about it too, but it's a pity that they only do intermediary business."
It would be best if some outstanding players could take the initiative to improve their skills.
In this way, they don't have to go through so much trouble. They can just send a few "certificates" to the company and let the local people judge it themselves, and the matter will be solved directly.
Shortage of people?
Lack of land?
Short of money?
Is this a big deal for a company that truly masters “core technology”?
With a loan of 10 billion and an order of 20 billion, even if a dog is tied up to sit in the chairman's position, as long as it sits up straight and steady, it can still fly into the sky.
With a huge talent pool and complete industrial supporting facilities, what is scarce in this society has never been a few pieces of paper or a string of numbers, but the soil that "can truly irrigate".
"It's not a pity. There are specializations in the industry, and people's energy is limited. They chose something they are better at. Anyway, I support them!" The man with the Chinese character said with a smile.
After hearing these words, everyone in the office nodded in agreement.
He is indeed a man who has been recognized by extraterrestrial civilizations and qualified for closed beta testing!
What you say is indeed of a high standard!
At this time, a colleague wearing glasses suddenly asked out of curiosity.
"Speaking of which, how are you doing? How many levels have you practiced?"
Many people were curious about this question and looked at the man with the Chinese character face.
Being looked at by his colleagues, the man with a Chinese character's face suddenly became a little subtle in his expression, and he coughed dryly.
"Didn't I say that there are specialties in the arts..."
"Human energy is limited."
…
Wasteland world.
At the south entrance of Linghu Wetland Park, ten fully armed players have already assembled.
Except for Lao Bai and Fang Chang who lead the team, the other eight players are all elite members of the Burning Corps, and they all have T3 or even T2 levels.
Not only are they well-equipped, they have also experienced the baptism of war several times and have rich experience in wasteland combat and urban warfare.
Before gathering, they had heard about the content of this mission from Lao Bai, and everyone had expressions of eagerness to try it out.
After looking around at the players who were well-equipped and with high morale, Chu Guang nodded approvingly.
good.
In this cutscene, it’s rare for everyone to dress like the same person.
"Xiaoqi, take a picture for them."
An energetic voice came from my ears.
"okay!"
Taking advantage of Xiao Qi's opportunity to take photos of the players, Chu Guang organized his words in his mind for a moment and spoke slowly.
"Salute to you, warriors of the Alliance, the war was able to end so quickly, thanks to your charge into battle."
"Now that the chaos from the north has been calmed down, the alliance needs time to recuperate. For long-term prosperity and stability, and for the people who survive, I need you to represent the alliance and bring friendship and peace to our neighbors."
"I hope you will always remember that you represent the entire alliance during this trip."
"Our neighbors will judge their relationship with us based on what you say and do."
Players' personal behavior is difficult to control.
However, when players form a group, they will naturally take care of the gaming experience of others in the group and consciously restrain themselves and others.
After the cutscene belonging to the players ended, Chu Guang then looked at Old Luca aside and gave a final warning.
"Be sure to pay attention to safety on the road."
"Don't worry, sir, I will keep your instructions in mind. But you...please pay more attention to your health and don't tire yourself too much. No matter how important your work is, it is not as important as your health." When I said this,
, Old Luca had a sincere expression on his face.
It's not flattery or polite, these words are completely from the bottom of his heart.
Others may not know exactly what the managers have done for the alliance, but as the executor of orders, Luka knows very well how much effort Chu Guang has put into this alliance.
From the beginning of the Northern Expedition to the present, except for a short rest on the day of the triumphal ceremony, he has hardly had a day's rest.
If possible, Luka sincerely hopes that the manager can think more about himself.
Looking at the old man who was still worried about him before leaving, Chu Guang smiled and nodded.
"I'm in good health, don't worry about me... Let's go, leave early and come back early."
"yes."
Putting his right fist on his left chest, Luka saluted respectfully, and then led several entourage members to follow the players towards the south.
Watching the team leave, Charlie, who was standing next to Chu Guang, suddenly spoke.
"I'm afraid this trip won't be peaceful."
Although he did not agree with this behavior of setting a flag, Chu Guang continued what he said.
"What do you think."
Old Charlie continued with careful words.
"...Although the factory owners in Boulder City are unwilling to have a direct conflict with us, it is obvious that they do not want the authorities to get too close to us."
Most of the businessmen who come to New Alliance to invest and set up factories are merchants from Boulder City or owners of small and medium-sized factories that are struggling to operate.
The goods they produce in the New Alliance have largely taken away the vested interests of the big factories and big chambers of commerce in Boulder City.
Of course, Chu Guang knew these things well, and he knew very well that he was actually playing some tricks in the trade.
For example, through administrative intervention, the exchange ratio of silver coins and chips was controlled at 2:1 to proactively increase export profits.
Another example is the dumping of low value-added light industrial products, as well as the "awakened mercenaries" who are keen on doing tasks, plundering the bargaining chips of Boulder City, and using the earned foreign exchange to purchase second-hand equipment that has been eliminated by local factories, hiring unemployed engineers and workers, and doing themselves a disservice.
industries to upgrade.
The most typical example is the KV-1 exoskeleton.
Although this thing is a product produced by the Boulder City Military Factory, almost half of the KV-1 exoskeletons in the entire southern part of the River Valley Province are now produced by the Lister Factory of the New Alliance.
Another example is the New Alliance's LD-47 assault rifle, which not only squeezed out the market share of the "Drone" assault rifle in the southern part of the River Valley province, but was even exported to the shelves of the Boulder City weapons store.
Now in the entire Boulder City, except for those merchants and mercenaries who have seized the historical opportunity and made a lot of money with the rise of the new alliance, almost no factory owner has a good impression of them.
Chu Guang even dared to assert it.
As long as Mr. House fanned the flames on the radio, after a while even the ordinary citizens of Boulder City would begin to complain that the residents of the New Alliance had taken away their job opportunities.
"...You mean, they will start halfway?" After listening to old Charlie's words, Chu Guang said thoughtfully.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out, although this method is very low-level," Old Charlie said seriously, "The most indispensable thing in Boulder City is mercenaries, and most of the factory owners and chamber of commerce bosses have private armed forces. If you want to block the contract,
Signing, kidnapping or hijacking are undoubtedly the most direct methods."
Chu Guang nodded seriously.
"I'll tell my soldiers to pay more attention."
Although this trip is full of risks, someone still has to do it.
After sending Luka away, Chu Guang returned to the shelter alone, went to the browsing room on the B4 floor, and continued to improve the reform plan of the new alliance and the Beta0.3 version of Kingdom of Heaven.
At this moment, Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the table, suddenly spoke.
"Master, there is new progress in the matter you are concerned about."
Chu Guang asked subconsciously with his hands on the keyboard.
"Which thing?"
"It's the 10 G information you asked me to translate for you!"
After hearing this, Chu Guang finally showed a surprised expression on his face.
He has been busy with domestic affairs these past few days, and has not paid much attention to news in the real world.
"Have they taken out the lithium battery?"
So fast?
Xiaoqi nodded and said happily.
"Yeah! And it's even on the news! Do you want to open the silver coin trading platform?"
Looking at the web page on the computer screen, Chu Guang thought for a moment and said.
"Open it."
Originally, he planned to wait until next month to launch it simultaneously with the Beta 0.3 version, but the actual speed of progress was beyond his expectation.
Thinking of this, Chu Guang looked quite regretful.
It's a pity that the "closed beta qualification" is running out.
Otherwise, we can take advantage of this opportunity to harvest a large number of hard-working leeks...
