From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Anyway, he chose to research the proton battery first, and it was just a counterattack to Makoto Matsushita's constant touches.

Now it seems that the effect is really outstanding.

After all, up to now, he only showed up in the news, and then briefly introduced their battery technology. He didn't even publish the papers and experimental report data. As a result, so many people believed it.

Is it true that in a few days when he said that he had discovered intelligence with consciousness, people would believe it?

Of course, what he knew was that the reason why others believed him was mainly due to his academic credit, so it would obviously be bad to use this credit to commit fraud.

But as far as it is now, his academic credit must be the strongest in the world, and he might be able to cheat a few times without any problem.

Shaking his head, he didn't think about it anymore. After returning to the laboratory, he started the research on lithium-sulfur batteries.

……

In the following time, Lin Xiao continued to put his mind on the research. The two battery technologies and the qubit control model of the quantum computer are each very difficult, and there are many small difficulties in them. With the resolution of small difficulties one by one, the final difficulty will be easily solved.

On the other side, the upsurge about hydrogen fuel cells is obviously coming to an end.

Although the hydrogen fuel cell of the Panasonic Group has entered the stage of production, before the proton battery officially appears, it is obvious that it can still make a wave of money. Even if it is replaced by the proton battery in the future, it may not disappear. After all, no matter what How to say, it still has some advantages compared to other batteries.

However, the sudden death of Akio Matsushita, the head of the family, had a very great influence, because Akio Matsushita did not determine a successor, so his descendants began to fall into infighting for the position of the head of the family. Dou, I don't have the mind to care about the battery at all.

Of course, after a company as big as the Panasonic Group falls into civil strife, it is easy for outsiders to take advantage of it.

Toyota, Honda and the like have all joined in this battle, and the threat of the Minister of Energy Kenny was certainly not a joke, and they also participated in it.

Ever since, such a holding company that ranks more than 100 out of the world's top [-] companies has fallen into a whirlpool and cannot extricate itself.

This incident also reminded other people.

First of all, don't provoke Lin Xiao, especially don't touch him in scientific research, otherwise, the high probability of losing money can only be yourself.

The second is to be careful when cooperating with Americans. Of course, perhaps for the vast majority of people, the power to cooperate or not is difficult to control by themselves.

Finally, don't forget to make a will. At least, after witnessing the situation of the Matsushita family, many chaebol family heads in Japan, if they are old, have quickly determined an heir for themselves to avoid the Matsushita family. that situation.

……

"Great! The performance of this hydrogen storage material has reached the best level in the world. After calculating the cost, it is estimated that it is not much different from the hydrogen storage material developed by Panasonic Group!"

"Well, the most important thing is the performance, which is more than twice that of the hydrogen storage material of the Panasonic Group!"

"In this way, the performance of the proton battery we have developed can reach an even better level!"

Dingguang Research Institute, the material research institute where Lin Xiao works, after a burst of cheers, Kang Chengning and the others looked at the test data of the new material in front of them very excitedly.

After another period of research, finally under the leadership of Lin Xiao, they created a brand new hydrogen storage material.

Hydrogen storage material is a special material that can absorb and release hydrogen gas, such as metal palladium, colloidal palladium can absorb hydrogen gas equivalent to 1200 times its volume, the effect is very good, so in Iron Man, Iron Man used it at the beginning The most important thing is metal palladium, because as a hydrogen storage material, it can provide sufficient hydrogen for the nuclear fusion in the Ark reactor.

Of course, their battery is not an Ark reactor, they just use the hydrogen to maintain the reaction of the battery.

In the laboratory, Lin Xiao who was next to them smiled slightly when he saw how happy they were, and then said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense and start building the battery."

"Ok!"

Hearing Lin Xiao's order, Kang Chengning and the others stopped indulging in surprises and started building a brand new proton battery.

After building this hydrogen storage material, as well as the previous colloidal electrolyte and proton exchange membrane, a new version of the proton battery appeared in front of them.

Then they began to conduct experiments on discharge and charge reactions. Through these two experiments, they could detect the performance of the battery.

In this way, after several hours of quiz, they finally got the final result.

"This time, the volumetric energy density has been greatly improved compared to before!" Ma Bin looked at the statistics on the computer and said in surprise, "At least three times as much as before!"

"Great!"

Kang Chengning and the others cheered again.

For those who study materials, it is a great encouragement to be able to research a new material, especially this material can have such powerful performance.

Of course, although being able to develop these materials has something to do with Lin Xiao and has little to do with them, but being able to experience such a process in person is also a kind of knowledge-enhancing experience for them.

Especially after this round, they have a deeper understanding of computational materials science.

At this time, Lin Xiao was even more satisfied.

This is the perfect form of this proton battery.

Of course, there is one more thing that makes him more satisfied, and that is the sudden system sound.

"Congratulations to the host for successfully developing a brand new battery. The battery is an important carrier of the electric energy age. The higher its capacity, the deeper your civilization's understanding of the electric energy age, so keep going. Reward 2000 chemistry points Experience, 4000 points of material science experience, 80 truth points."

Hearing the system's words, Lin Xiao frowned slightly.

"The age of electricity?"

So what kind of times will there be in the future?

He is also not clear about this, because the reason why we call it the era of electric energy is that electric energy is currently available to human beings to achieve preservation, transformation and utilization.

As a perfect energy state, electric energy can be transformed into various other energies, such as thermal energy, chemical energy, mechanical energy, etc. If a new energy state can appear in the future to replace electric energy, it is obvious that there must be this kind of energy that can be transformed. Capabilities for other energy states.

But obviously, humans have not discovered such a new energy state until now.

"Another pile of unknown theories."

Lin Xiao couldn't help shaking his head in his heart, so at this time, if someone still thinks that science has reached its end, they are definitely very stupid.

Then he stopped thinking about it and calmed down a bit. Although he gained a lot of experience, it didn't allow him to upgrade these two subjects.

Of course, it's not a big problem. After all, things like upgrading are not so easy.

However, looking back on the entire research process, he did not expect to be able to research all three materials in such a swift manner.

"The aura of this energy revealer is really powerful and terrifying."

What I just don't know is how this so-called "halo" exists and affects him.

No matter how you think about it, this "halo" is very strange.

Just like...

"The BUFF in the game is the same..."

Lin Xiao had some doubts in his heart.

"Or... a kind of consciousness technology?"

That is, technology for "consciousness".

But just after he thought for a while, a voice came from beside him: "Lin Shen, what are we going to study next? Lithium-sulfur batteries?"

Lin Xiao came back to his senses, looked at Kang Chengning's expectant expressions, then nodded with a smile: "Well, let's continue to study lithium-sulfur batteries."

"Ok!"

Kang Chengning and the others nodded, and they stopped indulging in the success just now, and started the next research.

And Lin Xiao is no longer obsessed with thinking in his mind.

It is true that as a scientist, his imagination is very rich, and of course every scientist is like this.

But sometimes, you have to keep your eyes on reality.

Chapter 468 P≠NP?A call at the closing ceremony of the International Congress of Mathematicians

Research on lithium-sulfur batteries has also begun, and since the main research materials are only solid electrolyte materials, the research task has become relatively easier.

Lithium-sulfur battery, as a very ideal new battery in lithium battery, has an order of magnitude advantage in energy density compared with ordinary batteries.

But of course, lithium-sulfur batteries are still a product of a laboratory, and with current technology, they can only be tested in test tubes.

This is because of several shortcomings of its existence.

First of all, the intermediate discharge products of lithium-sulfur batteries will dissolve into the organic electrolyte, which will affect the performance of the electrolyte and ultimately the overall performance of the battery.

The second is that when the sulfur element is used as the positive electrode of the battery, some final products produced during the reaction will affect the performance of the battery, and in serious cases, it will even directly cause damage to the battery.

Finally, there is a problem called lithium dendrites. As an active material, metallic lithium in the negative electrode will change in shape during charging and discharging. When lithium ions are reduced to metallic lithium, each lithium atom It is possible to form lithium dendrites on the surface of metallic lithium, and these lithium dendrites may pierce the separator of the positive and negative electrodes, and then directly contact the positive electrode.

Once the positive and negative electrodes are in contact, it will cause a short circuit problem. After the short circuit, the temperature of the battery will rise sharply, which will eventually lead to combustion, or even an explosion in a more serious point.

It is precisely because of these thorny problems that lithium-sulfur batteries are still only a technology in the laboratory and have not been realized.

However, if solid electrolytes are used, most of these problems can be solved.

For example, the first question, solid electrolyte is not a liquid, so naturally there is no problem of dissolution, so this problem is not a problem.

Another example is the problem of lithium dendrites. Lithium dendrites are an inevitable problem in lithium batteries, and in most of the current lithium-ion batteries, battery manufacturers have made many solutions to solve lithium-ion batteries. So now there are basically very few cases of dangerous accidents caused by lithium dendrites.

However, although it is rare, it still exists, but when lithium dendrites face solid electrolytes, they will also have nothing to do. After all, the main problem of lithium dendrites is to connect the positive and negative electrodes to cause a short circuit, and then the temperature rises sharply. High, but now solid electrolytes are used. No matter how powerful the lithium dendrite is, can it directly pierce the entire solid electrolyte?

Therefore, the problems existing in the solid electrolyte are solved in the same way.

The remaining problems will have relatively little impact. Although they are also problems to be solved, compared with the role of solid electrolytes, they can be solved at the end.

So for Lin Xiao, it is most important to solve the problem of solid electrolyte first.

……

Lithium-sulfur batteries are just one aspect. While researching this technology, Lin Xiao did not forget the problem of the quantum computer control model that Academician Pang Wei gave him.

And after so long of research, in the end, he was also stuck on a problem.

"How to judge, in the process of this moment, whether it expresses 1 or 0?"

Lin Xiao frowned. He hadn't made any progress on this issue for a whole month.

Of course, it's just that there is no progress for a month. For other researchers, it is completely common for a problem to have no progress for a month.

Even a year or two is a very common thing, not to mention some people who are studying world-class problems, it is not impossible for ten years.

However, for Lin Xiao, there was no progress in a month, which still made him feel a little bit difficult.

Of course, this also shows that the difficulty of this problem is high enough.

And this can also bring him more sense of challenge.

"Perhaps I should diverge my thinking?"

Lin Xiao thought about it in his heart.

"What if the quantum state representing 1 is expressed as a function, and the quantum state representing 0 is expressed as another function, and then the recognition ability of the chip is used to identify it?"

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.

"By the way...P=NP?!"

It is as if he used the principle of the P=NP problem to construct a program, and then used this program to determine the relationship between gravitons and the theory of relativity.

"If you use the same method, maybe you can solve this problem."

There was a moment of thought in his eyes.

Then, his eyes moved, and then he took out a pen and started to write.

Intuition told him that this method is feasible, but how to solve this problem still needs to be based on mathematical deduction.

In this way, a week later, he was very surprised to see a function he got.

Of course, this function has nothing to do with what he wants to produce, at best it can only be regarded as an intermediate product, but the meaning of this intermediate product is unusual.

"Is this a one-way function?"

He frowned tightly, looked at this function, and couldn't help but think in his heart.

If this is the case, then he may have accidentally solved one of the seven millennium problems one by one.

Of course, this "solution" does not refer to proof, but to falsification.

He will falsify that P is not equal to NP, that is, for the P problem, it cannot be completely equivalent to the NP problem.

P is the complexity class P, that is, all problems that can be solved by a deterministic Turing machine in polynomial expression time; and class NP consists of all decision problems that can verify whether its solution is correct in polynomial time.

Once it can be proved that P=NP, all problems in the world will become simpler, just like if nonlinear and linear can be unified.

However, in the past, most scientists did not believe that P could be equal to NP, especially for some cryptography experts. After all, once P=NP, the building of cryptography would collapse, because P=NP can make Any password becomes easy to crack, and it only needs to be handed over to the computer for calculation.

However, there are still great difficulties in solving this problem, whether it is proof or falsification, and because of the significance of this problem, it was selected as one of the seven millennium problems.
