From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Now they are paying attention to the development of hydrogen fuel cells, which is just a way to prepare for a rainy day. After all, the future will usher in the era of nuclear fusion, and new energy vehicles will become the right way. Although there may be decades before popularization, for their kind For large enterprises, it is normal to take a long-term view, decades later.

Therefore, no matter what, the fact that these two old people were able to attend the scene in person also showed the importance of this press conference.

Thinking of this, everyone else is looking forward to this press conference even more.

At this time, the two old people also started to walk in. Of course, they were still chatting about other topics.

Suddenly, Honda asked: "By the way, Toyota, the old guy from Panasonic was lucky this time and came up with this technology. If they can really succeed, aren't you interested in taking a share?"

"A share?" Toyota shook his head and said, "As long as we can guarantee that the Huaguo people will repair their nuclear fusion power plants to us in the future, the Toyota Group will still occupy the first place in the world's car sales, that's enough. "

"As for things like taking a share of the pie, you don't even look at how much help the Americans have provided to Panasonic. If the Americans don't plan to get back what they deserve from Panasonic later, guess what? Will you let it go?"

"That's true." Honda nodded, knowing the matter in his heart.

He and Toyota are very clear about what kind of people Americans are, especially Toyota. After all, the Toyota Group can become the only car company in the world that can be compared with Volkswagen because of the way of dumping in the US market. It has achieved great success, and after that, the Americans couldn't bear it anymore, so they focused on their interests.

Of course, there is no need to say more about this, the agreement signed in that square that year was even more painful in their hearts.

So now that I think about it, is it really pure kindness that the Americans spare no effort to help the Panasonic Group's hydrogen fuel cell development?

"Hehe, then we can only hope that old guy from Panasonic can be ready." Then Honda smiled, "If he can't hold on then, then I don't mind giving him a boost."

Toyota also smiled and didn't say anything. At this time, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the Patriarch of the Matsushita family who was communicating with other people in the crowd. Looking at the smile on this old guy's face, he could know the current situation. How happy he is.

Of course, Toyota also showed a smile, and then walked over, "Panasonic, congratulations..."

……

Soon, the press conference was ready, and the host of this press conference was Makoto Matsushita who had made great contributions.

At this time, Makoto Matsushita had a happy face and was full of ambition. After all, some time ago, he got a huge promotion in the Matsushita Group, and now he was arranged to preside over this meeting, which is enough to show that he is in the family and the group. The status inside is getting higher and higher.

Facing so many guests present, he said: "Welcome all distinguished guests, come to this press conference. As you can see, the theme of this conference is: hydrogen energy future, yes, The future is the era of hydrogen energy!"

"Of course, here I would also like to thank Mr. Lin Xiao for the controllable nuclear fusion technology that has brought us all mankind. It is this controllable nuclear fusion technology that allows me to name this meeting like this."

"Of course, everyone here may have to ask at this time. Mr. Lin Xiao is researching battery technology, which may have a huge impact on our hydrogen fuel cells, but after you see our batteries, you will not There is this worry."

"Because it's really strong!"

After hearing Makoto Matsushita's words, the people present laughed one after another. At the same time, some people applauded. The applause made Makoto Matsushita stop what he said next, and then bowed slightly to the audience.

Of course, at this time, he also discovered that Lin Xiao, who touches porcelain, seems to be able to attract more people's attention, and at the same time continue to improve his reputation. Obviously, this will also have a great influence on the influence of this press conference. So then he abandoned the presiding draft that he had written down in his mind, and chose to continue touching porcelain.

"Of course, we all know that the technologies developed by Mr. Lin Xiao are often very powerful, but the question is, while Mr. Lin Xiao is researching complex technologies such as quantum computers, how much can he focus on battery technology? What about research?"

"Moreover, our Panasonic Group has invested in hydrogen fuel cells for so many years, and we know very well how difficult it is to research battery technology."

"So I think, this round, our hydrogen fuel cell will officially win! And our country's brilliant auto industry will become the strongest in the world again!"

The applause was loud again, and the people in the audience felt a little excited for Makoto Matsushita's words.

Later, Makoto Matsushita also saw that the atmosphere was almost adjusted, so he officially entered the theme and began to introduce the theme of their press conference, which is the hydrogen fuel cell that they finally completed after studying for so long.

After listening to his introduction, everyone began to be surprised in their hearts.

As a kind of fuel cell, hydrogen fuel cell obviously cannot be calculated according to mass energy density like lithium ion battery. After all, hydrogen gas is very light, and the combustion and heat release process is just a process of adding a chemical bond, breaking a bond and forming a bond, so in terms of mass In terms of energy density, hydrogen is inherently dominant, and even the mass energy density of fuel is not as high as hydrogen.

Therefore, the advantage that hydrogen fuel cells need to compare is volumetric energy density.

The hydrogen fuel cell of the Panasonic Group has successfully achieved a breakthrough on this point. Under the same volume, the energy density of this hydrogen fuel cell is about twice that of a lithium-ion battery!

double!

After hearing the final data, everyone in the audience showed a surprised expression on their faces.

In this way, doesn't it mean that the final real cruising range will be almost the same as that of a fuel car? !

Even if the space inside the car can be better arranged to accommodate more hydrogen, it will not be a problem to exceed the battery life of fuel vehicles.

At the end, Makoto Matsushita also announced the approximate price of their epoch-making battery product.

Of course, this price is subject to fluctuations. After all, this kind of battery is not facing the consumer market, but the producer market. The actual price will change according to the actual transaction situation, such as the buyer's request.

However, when the approximate price was announced, it still aroused the surprise of the people present, because this price was not as expensive as the original hydrogen fuel cell, on the contrary, it even dropped a little.

Immediately, everyone present cheered even more.

Makoto Matsushita on the stage looked at the reactions of the guests at the scene, and a smile appeared on his face.

Then he said: "Obviously, I know very well that the price is a surprise to everyone, but as I said, we are going to get our country's economy flying again."

"That's why such a hydrogen fuel cell came into being."

"And in order to make our country really take off, we made such a price. It is hope that we can usher in a new era more calmly!"

"So, everyone now, do you think we still need to worry about that great scientist Lin Xiao?"

In the end, Makoto Matsushita fell in love with Lin Xiao again.

The audience replied in unison: "No need!"

Makoto Matsushita smiled even better.

Of course, among these audiences, the cheering people are only a part, and there are many supporters arranged by them.

And those who are really able to pay for their batteries are another group of people who are not cheering. For these people, they obviously will not change their emotions because of Makoto Matsushita's words.

However, after hearing the price reported by Panasonic, they were still surprised.

Even the two heads of the Toyota and Honda families frowned when they saw this price.

They are very clear about the purpose of Panasonic Makoto touching Lin Xiao from time to time, and they are all dismissive of the so-called setting such a price for their country. There is no need to take such words seriously. Seriously, it’s the second meaning: why don’t we buy it after selling it like this?

"It seems that this time the Panasonic family is planning to seize the market quickly." The owner of Toyota narrowed his eyes, thinking in his heart, and finally shook his head slightly, "It seems that they still feel very fond of Lin Xiao. Be afraid, the chances of winning are not as close as it appears on the surface."

But he didn't think much of it.

Such a hydrogen fuel cell has already met everyone's original expectations. As for the battery technology Lin Xiao is researching...

At this time, Toyota couldn't help but come up with an idea, no matter how powerful it is, it is impossible to directly make such an excellent hydrogen fuel cell defenseless, right?

With such thoughts in mind, the owner of Toyota couldn't help feeling envious of the Panasonic Group. If this technology came from their Toyota...

Of course, he quickly gave up this idea. After all, he hasn't forgotten the Americans who are eyeing him.

……

Just as the audience was cheering, a phone rang suddenly.

All the people present were taken aback, because the ringtone of the phone came from the stage, that is to say, it was Makoto Matsushita's phone that rang.

This can be regarded as a press conference accident.

But what surprised everyone was that after Makoto apologized and took out the phone, he said in surprise: "This is actually a call from Mr. Kenny, the US Secretary of Energy!"

"I think Mr. Kenny must have something to say to us."

Then he connected the call in public and turned on the speakerphone.

Then, Kenny's voice came from the phone.

"Mr. Matsushita, hello, I'm sorry to call you at this time. Now, you should be hosting the press conference, right? Of course, I am also watching your press conference."

Hearing this voice, the audience present couldn't help being surprised. The minister of the US Department of Energy actually called!

But Toyota and the others could tell at a glance that this was not an accident at all, but a well-rehearsed one. Obviously, this energy minister came to support the Panasonic Group and show his attitude. Cooperating with the appearance, but also paid a small price.

Then, we can only hope that they will not lose everything in the end.

At this time, Makoto Matsushita also said: "Haha, Mr. Kenny, it's okay, I believe there is a reason why you can call now, so please explain it!"

"Well, I mainly want to say three sentences. The first sentence is to wish your press conference a successful conclusion; the second sentence is to wish the friendship between me and the Panasonic family last forever; the third sentence is to wish hydrogen fuel cells , can be successful!"

Makoto Matsushita immediately smiled, and bowed at ninety degrees to the camera, probably hoping that Kenny on the opposite side of the camera could see it, and then thanked: "Thank you, Mr. Kenny, for your blessing, and wish us success together!"

Then he looked at all the audience at the scene and said, "Everyone, let us thank Mr. Kenny for his wishes!"

There was another round of applause off the court. Of course, the people who applauded at this time were basically Tuo and some irrelevant people. People like Toyota were not interested in applauding for this.

However, what they are thinking at this moment is that maybe the Panasonic Group is really going to be a blockbuster this time.

And that great scientist Lin Xiao, is he really going to fail this time?

……

"The Japanese say I'm going to fail again?"

In the Dingguang Research Institute, Lin Xiao couldn't help but raised his eyebrows when he saw Ma Gaoliang who came to the door.

"This time, it's not just the Japanese. The American, British, French and other media are all saying that. Have you read the specifications of the hydrogen fuel cell of the Panasonic Group? It seems really powerful, This will affect our layout on lithium batteries." Ma Gaoliang said, with worry on his face.

The country has been laying out lithium batteries for so long, if there is a problem, it will have a greater impact on future plans, especially their current controllable nuclear fusion technology has matured.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao smiled, and then did not answer, but directly said to Chen Gong next to him: "Xiao Chen will give him the whole job!"

And Chen Gong had been upset with that arrogant Matsushita Group for a long time, so he nodded immediately and said: "Grass, those Japanese who are living a good life must be punished."

"Come on, Director Ma, let me show you the new battery we just finished yesterday."

Hearing this, Ma Gaoliang was taken aback: "What? New batteries?"

He immediately looked at Lin Xiao who was at the side with a puzzled look on his face.

And Lin Xiao smiled and spread his hands: "Next, we will solemnly introduce to you, our proton battery."

Chapter 465 More than 3.5 times

"Proton battery... what is this thing? Can protons also generate electricity?"

Ma Gaoliang was surprised.

Originally, he came here only to mention this matter with Lin Xiao, and he never thought that such a thing would happen again.

Although the Panasonic Group has developed this powerful hydrogen fuel cell, it is only a hydrogen fuel cell after all. Even if it really develops, it will take some time, so they still have plenty of time to deal with it.

What's more, the future of nuclear fusion is in their hands, and if hydrogen fuel cells want to be fully popularized, they will have to wait until nuclear fusion power plants spread all over the world to enjoy the relevant dividends, so even if they want to deal with this kind of thing in the future It is also very simple, just need to control the application of the nuclear fusion power plant.

So even if Lin Xiao really didn't develop that kind of top-level battery technology, it's not a big problem, but if Lin Xiao can develop this kind of battery, they can get more benefits, and at the same time, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. .

In the end, he never expected that Lin Xiao would actually give him a job.

And proton batteries, don't they sound much more advanced than hydrogen fuel cells?

"A proton can also be understood as a hydrogen ion, so you can treat it as a hydrogen ion battery."

"Protons are hydrogen ions?" Ma Gaoliang was stunned for a long time. In the end, it was probably because all the knowledge about this aspect had been forgotten after so many years, and he couldn't figure out the reason.

However, considering that the person in front of him is their chief scientist, he nodded and said, "I have increased my knowledge."

At this time, he also saw that Chen Gong had brought several kinds of experimental equipment, and then built a laboratory version of the original battery reaction tank, and the reaction tank was not filled with liquid, but a jelly.

This colloid is the colloidal electrolyte they prepared.

At the same time, it can also be seen that in the middle of the colloid, there is a transparent membrane wrapped inside, like a layer of plastic wrap, and this membrane is also a new type of proton exchange membrane synthesized by them.

After a week, they have completed these two materials according to the experiment designed by Lin Xiao, and successfully applied these two materials to the primary battery experiment.

Obviously, the result has completely reached the level that surprised them all.

"The final measurement shows that the mass energy density is 2300 watt-hours per kilogram, while the volumetric energy density is about 4 times that of the current common lithium battery, which is 2400 watt-hours per liter."

"The hydrogen fuel cell of the Panasonic Group has only twice the volumetric energy density of the current ordinary lithium battery."

After Chen Gong glanced at the last measured data, he told Ma Gaoliang the final data.

"Of course, this data is obtained after excluding other influencing factors, and only calculates the volume of the substance participating in the reaction. In fact, if it is applied to a car, this ratio will increase a little bit, because compared with the currently used lithium-ion As far as batteries are concerned, proton batteries do not require a lot of protective equipment, while lithium-ion batteries do.”

"We selected a standard model of pure electric vehicles for calculation. After counting all the additional equipment of proton batteries and ordinary lithium batteries, the volumetric energy density of proton batteries should be seven times that of ordinary lithium batteries, which is Panasonic 3.5 times that of the group's hydrogen fuel cells."

"However, if we can further improve the hydrogen storage capacity of hydrogen storage materials, this value can continue to rise. We roughly calculated that if we can use the latest hydrogen storage materials developed by Panasonic Group, this The multiple can probably be increased from 3.5 times to 5 times."

Hearing the data reported by Chen Gong, Ma Gaoliang's face was not only surprised, but also shocked.

"You... this... how did you do it?"

The ratio was several times, and for a moment, he was even a little unsure if there was something wrong with his ears.

When can these energy densities double?

Let’s talk about the mass energy density first, 400 watt-hours per kilogram, and now the most powerful lithium-ion batteries can only reach 200 watt-hours per kilogram in terms of mass energy density, and the batteries on ordinary pure electric vehicles are also That's less than [-] watt-hours per kilogram.

As a result, this proton battery can actually reach [-] watt-hours per kilogram, an increase of about ten times, which is enough to shock him. This kind of battery is absolutely the most perfect battery for the rocket, after all, it is enough light.

And this volume energy density is even more astonishing. Although the multiple is not as high as ten times the mass energy density, as long as you compare it with the hydrogen fuel cell of the Panasonic Group, you can clearly see how strong it is.
