Chapter 162 Next, the hardware department will open the full speed mode
North America, Los Laboratory.
Dr. Jones was staring blankly in his office, looking out the endless wilderness outside the window, without saying a word for a long time.
He had long heard rumors that Xingchen Technology had developed energy storage supercapacitors, but he was still unwilling to believe it. Until today, the news was reported by Thresh and major media outlets reported on this matter, and he had to admit painfully that the Chinese were once again ahead of him.
There is a strong correlation between battery technology and energy storage capacitor technology, so the elites of Loss Laboratory and Bell Laboratory have also carried out energy storage capacitor research in addition to implementing the Super Five Hundred Plan.
The current situation is that Xingchen Technology is leading the way in both research directions: batteries and capacitors. When the research at Loss Laboratory was still in the model stage, Xingchen Technology's batteries and capacitors had already begun to produce large-scale production.
Not long after, Dr. Jerryn from Bell Laboratories also came to his office.
"I can't believe that we actually lost to those Chinese people." Dr. Jones complained to Jerryn in pain: "Has those Chinese learned alchemy? Why, why can they conquer batteries and supercapacitors so quickly?"
"How do I know?" Jerryn shrugged. "To be precise, they took three major scientific research results of batteries, electronic control and supercapacitors within one year, and designed a lifting platform ship specifically for installing offshore wind motors."
Dr. Jones's face turned a little green after hearing what his old friend said. Indeed, the achievements of Star Technology are not just batteries and capacitors, but they have also made amazing progress in other fields.
"Look at this."
After Dr. Jerryon said, he placed an English version of a German graphic on the table.
Dr. Jones picked up the newspaper and saw reports that Siemens and Rhine Group decided to conduct a large-scale deep-sea energy storage experiment.
"I know this invention," said Dr. Jones. "The Germans are very good at technology. Their deep-sea energy storage technology uses super-large concrete balls, which are cheap and durable, and are easy to mass-produce. However, in terms of energy storage costs, they are higher than the supercapacitors of Xingchen Technology."
Jerryn nodded, "In general, these two energy storage technologies have their own advantages and disadvantages. The high-density carbon materials used in supercapacitors are very complex in the process."
"The advantage of deep-sea energy storage is that it is cheap. After all, it is much easier to build super-large concrete balls, and then install compressors and generators on the concrete balls to connect submarine cables than to build supercapacitor energy storage centers."
Dr. Jones asked in confusion: "Why did you tell me this?"
Jerryn was excited, "Because we are going to Germany soon, Siemens invited us to participate in the experiment, and after the experiment is over, something big might happen."
......
Malaysia, Penang.
Southeast Asia is still so hot in October that people are scary. Luo Jia walked out of the airport, looked at the vicious sunshine outside, then opened her suitcase, took off her hooded sweatshirt, wore only a T-shirt, and took out her sunglasses and sun hat.
In addition to his parents, some colleagues from the company came here with Luo Jia, and there were not many, about fifty or sixty people.
After the hardware department completed the capacitor project, some of their colleagues returned to their hometowns for a week, while others traveled around the world under the arrangement of the administrative department.
The reason why Luo Jia came to Malaysia was mainly to accompany her parents.
After all, filial piety must be done by yourself. Although Luo Jia can arrange the most expensive travel agency in the world for her parents, even the best treatment in the world is not as good as a son who can be with her parents.
Comrade Luo Ning had long thought of going to Malaysia to see it, and had been talking to Luo Jia for a long time.
He saw an article online that said that Malay Chinese are the most traditional group abroad, and they still speak Chinese and eat Chinese food. Most of their children choose independent middle schools when they go to school. Therefore, Comrade Luo Ning was very curious about the millions of Chinese living in Malaysia.
Luo Jia did not doubt the authenticity of the article. He liked to read the Talk of Weirdness. Malay debaters like Hu Jianbiao and Yan Rujing left a deep impression on him. If he didn't know his nationality, he would never guess that they were foreigners and spoke very well in Mandarin.
Moreover, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Chinese in Southeast Asia contributed money and made great contributions. Anyone who had read a little about history knew about this.
After waiting for a while, the booked bus came to pick it up, and everyone got on the bus and went to the hotel.
An Ran and Luo Jia sat together. From the moment he landed, he kept browsing his phone, sending emails to colleagues who stayed at the headquarters, and arranging work tasks.
He was forcibly pulled by Luo Jia. This workaholic has never enjoyed the free vacation benefits provided by the company, so Luo Jia forced An Ran to travel with him, and An Ran was very angry about this.
"Please, we are on vacation. Can you look a little on vacation?" Luo Jia poked An Ran with her elbow. "Look, Zhang Dongning's little girlfriend is good, right? I was observing her all the way. The girl seemed to have only Lao Zhang in her eyes. When she passed the customs, the two of them separated for a while and then made her anxious. She stood at the place where she left the customs and looked inside on tiptoe."
An Ran looked back at Zhang Dongning and his girlfriend. She was a very young and quiet girl. She sat in her seat with her arms on her shoulder, as if she was afraid that Zhang Dongning would throw her down.
It can be seen that she is very dependent on Zhang Dongning.
"Tsk, this pair of dogs and men are so tired of being tired," said An Ran.
Luo Jia was speechless. As a genius of a generation, An Ran was good at everything, but she was not very good at emotionally.
Of course, Luo Jia actually has no right to educate him. No one is better than any other two single dogs.
In the next few days, Luo Jia hired a car and took her parents to visit nearby.
Penang is an island, and not far from the island is Taiping, Hefeng, Yibao, Linglong, Jinbao, and Meiluo. I know that these place names are all named by Chinese.
The guide is right. As long as you find the right place, it seems like you have not gone abroad at all. The shop’s signs are all Chinese characters, and you don’t need to translate your words, and the food is also worthy of your appetite.
This feeling is quite wonderful. Although I hold two completely different passports, I always feel very close. I hope these overseas Chinese can live better and better.
An Ran did not take a step out of the hotel until the night before leaving. He held his laptop all day and went to the hotel restaurant after dinner.
It was time to return to China tomorrow. Luo Jia pulled An Ran to the hotel rooftop and had a drink with him. He originally wanted to call Zhang Dongning, but the couple didn't know where to go.
Zhang Dongning is also a busy person in the company. Although he has a girlfriend, he is still the first person to come to the laboratory in the morning and the last person to leave in the evening. He has a strong sense of responsibility. It is rare to relax for a few days this time, so don’t bother them.
Luo Jia told An Ran about her experiences these days. After An Ran heard this, she nodded, "So, it's better that the country is stronger. If these Chinese people can't make a living one day, at least there is still a place to take them in."
The topic suddenly changed, and An Ran said seriously, "Did you read the news today? The large-scale deep-sea energy storage experiment of the Germans has been initially successful."
Luo Jia nodded, "Well, I saw it, and I also noticed that Siemens' old rival, Denmark Vitas, also participated in the experiment. In addition, they also invited many well-known scholars and experts, and the momentum was very high."
"Then you don't have any ideas?" An Ran asked.
Luo Jia smiled, "Of course there are ideas. Siemens and Vitas were originally the bosses and second-seconds in the wind power field. Now the eldest and second-seconds have joined forces. In addition to the deep-sea energy storage of Rhine Group, they have now mastered the complete set of key technologies in the green energy field."
"And we are just chasers, although we have installed ships and supercapacitors, we are still missing the most important part of the plan, the wind turbine."
"Siemens and Vitas' suspension technology, aeroelastic elastic technology, lightning protection technology, high-voltage AC HaVC technology, wind measurement technology, etc. It is still difficult to break the monopoly of these two giant companies on wind turbines. They even have corrosion-resistant materials that are ahead of us."
An Ran spread her arms, stretched her waist and said, "That's why you took me on vacation, because once you return to the company, our hardware department will be busy."
Chapter completed!
