Technological Hegemony

Luo Jia closed her eyes in the office, listening to the ticking sound in her ear.

As this voice continues, the heritage of extraterrestrial civilization is instilled into his brain, forming folders.

As long as you open these folders, the data in them will be transferred to Luo Jia's brain storage center.

It sounds like a wonderful process, but anyone who has been to school understands that just remembering what the teacher teaches is just the first step in learning.

What is more difficult is understanding and integration, turning knowledge into a handy tool.

Luo Jia now really learns to burst his liver every day. The more data stored in his brain, it means that he has more content to learn, understand, and understand.

For a long time, Luo Jia hated the noise in her head, and she also visited a doctor.

However, with the continuous development of Xingchen Technology, and entering into more and more sophisticated fields, Luo Jia began to yearn for more knowledge to solve the problems encountered today.

According to the knowledge level of extraterrestrial civilization, Luo Jia is still a primary school student.

He wants to go to middle school and college, because only with the continuous improvement of his learning level can he lead Xingchen Technology to develop more black technologies that can change the world.

The ticking sound in the brain would be better if it could be faster.

Unfortunately, the golden dome obviously has its own plan. It is like a silent teacher, instilling knowledge to Luo Jia at a fixed pace.

Now Luo Jia no longer imagines why extraterrestrial civilizations perish, and what kind of enemies make them perish.

Because things on the earth prevented him from being distracted, at this stage, each step of Star Technology became more and more difficult.

Recently they have been stuck with energy storage technology.

This technology is very important, because only by solving the problem of energy storage, can we use the large amount of electricity wasted domestically every day to the maximum.

As a group of Chinese people, everyone in the tough guy sky group hates wasting, not to mention the energy thing, every day is wasted by an astronomical figure.

It's really shocking. Twenty percent of wind and solar power and thermal power plants run for three and a half percent.

If all this electricity is used, how many gdp can be created and how many electric cars can be driven on the road.

In order to solve the energy storage problem, the hardware department of Xingchen Technology has conducted many research groups.

The pumped storage group is studying how to convert excess electrical energy into potential energy to build a large reservoir. The excess electrical energy is used to pump water and is stored in the reservoir. When needed, the gate is opened and a hydroelectric generator is used to generate electricity.

This technology is used in many places around the world. However, the location of such things as reservoirs is always limited, and in the process of pumping energy, a lot of losses will occur.

Pumping water with a pump, the pump needs to consume electricity, and then use the power generator to generate electricity, but also generate a large amount of loss, the water stored in the reservoir, the sun will cause evaporation, but also a loss.

Therefore, based on the current situation, although Xingchen Technology has a pumped storage research team, Luo Jia does not think that this technology is suitable for the future, just to do some research just in case.

There is also a compressed air energy storage team.

As we all know, there are many natural voids under the ground, and compressed air energy storage is the use of excess electricity to extract air, compress the air to the underground voids, forming pressure, and rely on pressure to generate electricity in the future.

This research is suitable for wind turbines, because wind turbines can directly drive compressors, but the disadvantage is also huge losses.

There is also a group working on flywheel energy storage.

The so-called flywheel energy storage is like winding a mechanical clock. Friends who have worn mechanical watches know that when they wake up every morning, they need to twist twice. The twisting process stores energy in the flywheel.

Like the previous two, the energy storage of the flywheel is too heavy, and the requirements for energy storage machinery are also very high. It is not as direct as pumping.

However, Luo Jia also made people study it based on the principle of letting go wrong.

This is far from over. The first three research groups are all studying mechanical energy storage, and the big head of Xingchen Technology is actually charged on electrical energy storage.

In the field of electrical energy storage research, Xingchen Technology has a key task force group directly led by Enron, the super capacitor group.

The supercapacitor is an electric double layer structure composed of an activated carbon porous electrode and an electrolyte, and finally obtains the existence of a large capacitance storage.

Unlike batteries that use chemical reactions, the charging and discharging process of supercapacitors is always a physical process, simple, rude, and effective.

Super capacitors have many advantages, such as short charging time, long service life, good temperature characteristics, energy saving and environmental protection.

There is nothing too complicated about supercapacitors, that is, capacitor charging, and the rest is a matter of materials. The current research direction of Xingchen Technology is whether it can achieve a small area and a larger capacitance.

Tesla's boss, Musk, stated as early as 2011 that the batteries of traditional electric vehicles are outdated and that new supercapacitor-powered cars will replace them in the future.

It now appears that Musk said this too early.

Because the unexpected monster army of Xingchen Technology was born, the application of supercapacitors on cars has been interrupted by Luo Jia, and they have made a truly cost-effective battery.

However, it can still be seen that the super capacitor is still very promising. Its charge and discharge performance is very good, and its cost is much lower than that of lithium batteries. If it can solve the problem of energy density, it can be used as energy storage in the future. Program.

This is why Enron and Ji Ming, the two big cows in the company's hardware department, are all in the super capacitor group.

In addition to them, the super capacitor group has as many as 200 doctors and masters, which is the largest research group in the entire energy storage program.

Although Xingchen Technology's main focus is on super capacitors, Luo Jia has not let go of other technologies that may succeed.

There is also a superconducting energy storage group in the hardware department.

The superconducting energy storage system roughly includes four parts: a superconducting coil, a low temperature system, a power regulation system, and a monitoring system. The superconductor uses zero resistance to make a device for storing electrical energy.

Among them, the development of superconducting materials is the top priority, and superconducting materials can be roughly divided into three categories: low temperature superconducting materials, high temperature superconducting materials and room temperature superconducting materials.

In the field of company materials science, another cattle person, Chao Anbang, is the host of this project.

Chao Anbang is a native cattle man produced by Tsinghua University. He is the top scholar of science in the college entrance examination in Anhui Province and a recognized genius in Tsinghua University.

To what extent is this guy bull?

It is said that in class, as long as he raises his hand to ask questions, the professor standing on the podium will have liver tremor, and it often happens that the professor can't talk to him because of tossing and directly ask Chao Anbang to speak on the stage.

Chao Anbang was much younger than Ji Ming and was only in his early twenties. His talents were comparable to Ji Ming's, but he had less experience.

Ji Ming has hosted the Cambridge Nanomaterials Laboratory, not only in research and development, but also in managing projects.

In general, Chao Anbang has a meaning of Ji Ming students, but just accepts Ji Ming's guidance in his work, and has no apprenticeship.

The operation mode of the entire Star Technology is basically the same.

The members of the brainstorming team are equivalent to the leaders and mentors in the company, while the members of the tough guy sky group learn from the mentors of the brainstorming group.

Yes, learn.

The learning atmosphere of Xingchen Technology is very strong. Di Wuchang invited the cattle people from all over the world. They all carried a few young people with terrible potential.

This operation is actually similar to the university, except that graduate students of the university do not get paid, and in Star Technology, they can get a generous salary return.

Another feature is that the grade is too high.

Regardless of Chao Anbang's presence at Xingchen Technology, he is only equivalent to Ji Ming's student, but if he returns to Tsinghua someday, it will be a professor-level existence.

Only in Xingchen Technology, such a monster-like army of monsters, can Chao Anbang be a student to others.

Looking at any university in the country, it can't be done at all, because even the big bulls of Peking University and Tsinghua University are not rivals of Xingchen Technology.

Tough guy sky group plus brainstorming group is essentially a combination of scientific research monsters and super scientific research monsters.

Even if this is the case, Xingchen Technology still has a elimination mechanism.

Every year, someone enters the following branch to work. If you want to stay in the headquarters for a long time and get in touch with the most cutting-edge scientific research results, everyone in the tough guy group must continue to work hard.

Like this time, Chao Anbang performed well and was recommended by Ji Ming. Being arranged by Luo Jia to directly lead a scientific research team was an affirmation of his efforts.

Maybe after a while, Chao Anbang can enter the brainstorming group.

For all the people of Xingchen Technology, it is a great glory to enter the brainstorming group.

Can Chao Anbang's superconducting energy storage group succeed?

There should be no hope, because even if the superconducting thing is made, the price will be very amazing, and Luo Jia now wants a cheap and easy-to-use solution.

But is there any value in Chao Anbang's superconducting research?

It is so valuable. After all, this is superconducting. Even if it cannot be used for energy storage projects, it will inevitably explode in the future.

At this point, there are five research groups, but in order to solve the energy storage problem, there is a sixth group, the electrochemical energy storage group.

Electrochemical energy storage is simply the meaning of battery energy storage.

This group is in charge of the battery business department. Zhang Dongning and others are already promoting the second-generation solution of lithium batteries. They will also study sodium-sulfur batteries and flow batteries.

However, the probability of successful electrochemical energy storage is relatively low, which is not the primary task of the battery project department.

The six teams working on energy storage have taken up a lot of energy in the hardware department, but this is still far from over.

The company has even recently established a new shipping division.

Yes, in order to solve the energy problem, Xingchen Technology even designs engineering ships.

According to Luo Jia's plan, the next step in the energy storage problem is a large-scale offshore wind farm.

The wind turbine is not a wooden stake, just plug it into the sea.

The environment under the sea is so complicated. The soft sand cannot support the wind turbine at all, so we need to pile and build an underwater platform.

In order to build an undersea platform ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~, we need to study meteorology, study ocean currents, draw accurate topographic maps of the ocean floor, and detect the geological structure of the ocean floor.

In other words, when the construction of offshore wind farms really started, Xingchen Technology will also set up a meteorological department and a marine research department.

This is scientific research. The difficulty of scientific research is difficult to get to the sky!

For ordinary people, everything seems to be quite simple, but for people engaged in scientific research, this stuff is really too complicated and too expensive.

Star Technology's Baoshan headquarters opens its eyes every day, and hundreds of millions of research funding is flowing.

Luo Jia was so dark for two days that he kept learning and went to various project teams to hear reports.

On the 20th, at noon, Luo Jia received a phone call from her mother, only to remember that today was her birthday.

Just in the summer, the children were on vacation. Peng Cheng's eldest son and youngest son came to Hudu, and his mother told him to go home early today.
