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

Ma Gaoliang looked surprised.

Originally, he came here just to mention this matter to Lin Xiao, and he never thought that something like this would happen again.

Although Panasonic Group has developed this very powerful hydrogen fuel cell, after all, it is just a hydrogen fuel cell. Even if it is really developed, it will take some time, so they still have enough time to deal with it.

What's more, the future of nuclear fusion is in their hands, and if hydrogen fuel cells are to be fully popularized, they will have to wait until nuclear fusion power plants are spread all over the world before they can 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 nuclear fusion power plant.

So even if Lin Xiao really doesn't develop that kind of top-notch battery technology, the problem is not big, but if Lin Xiao can develop this kind of battery, the benefits they can get will be greater, and at the same time, they won't have to be so troublesome. .

In the end, he never expected that Lin Xiao actually did a job for him.

And proton batteries don’t sound much more advanced than hydrogen fuel cells?

"Protons can also be understood as hydrogen ions, so you can think of them as a hydrogen ion battery."

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

But considering that the person in front of him was their chief scientist, he nodded and said, "My knowledge has improved."

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

This colloid is the colloidal electrolyte they prepared.

What can also be seen at the same time is that in the middle of the colloid, there is a transparent membrane wrapped inside, just like a layer of plastic wrap, and this membrane is the new proton exchange membrane they synthesized.

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

And obviously, the result completely surprised them all.

"The final measurement showed that the mass energy density is 2,300 watt-hours per kilogram, and the volume energy density is about four times that of current ordinary lithium batteries, which is 2,400 watt-hours per liter."

“The volume energy density of Panasonic Group’s hydrogen fuel cells is only twice that of current ordinary lithium batteries.”

After Chen Gong took a look at the final measured data, he told Ma Gaoliang the final data.

"Of course, this data is obtained after excluding other influencing factors. It only calculates the volume of substances participating in the reaction. If it is actually applied to cars, this ratio will be higher, because compared with the currently used lithium ions As for batteries, proton batteries don’t 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 between 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's 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 have roughly calculated that if we can use the hydrogen storage material recently developed by Panasonic Group, this value The multiple can probably be increased from 3.5 times to 5 times.”

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

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

This ratio was several times higher. For a moment, he was even a little unsure if there was something wrong with his ears.

When did these energy densities increase exponentially?

Let’s talk about the mass energy density first, which is 2,300 watt hours per kilogram. The most powerful lithium-ion battery now can only reach 400 watt hours per kilogram in terms of mass energy density, and the batteries in ordinary pure electric vehicles are only 400 watt hours per kilogram. It’s just less than 200 watt hours per kilogram.

As a result, this proton battery can actually reach 2,300 watt-hours per kilogram, a tenfold improvement, which is enough to shock him. This kind of battery is definitely the most perfect battery for rockets. After all, it is enough light.

And this volumetric energy density is even more amazing. Although it is not as high as ten times the mass energy density, as long as it is compared with the Panasonic Group's hydrogen fuel cell, it can be seen how powerful it is.

3.5 times, it seems that this rate is not very high, but if it is changed to the battery life of a car, it is Panasonic Group's hydrogen fuel cell. If it can make a car last 700 kilometers, then it uses a proton battery. The car can achieve a range of 2,450 kilometers.

2450 kilometers!

The straight-line distance from Shangjing to Lasa is only about 2,500 kilometers, and if you drive, it is 3,900 kilometers. This means that you only need to charge once on the way to complete the distance, or even There are still a few hundred kilometers left for people to travel around Lasa.

Of course, these are nothing. Ma Gaoliang knows clearly that this will be a huge boost to the upcoming era of nuclear fusion power generation.

Because the larger the capacity of the battery, the more conducive it is to the use of electricity.

Just like when digging for treasure, the larger the capacity of the truck, the more gold coins can be transported at one time and the efficiency is higher.

Now nuclear fusion power generation is such a treasure, and as a tool that can dig out this treasure, the battery is the delivery truck. At this time, the greater the energy density of the battery, the more gold coins it can transport.

In this way, human society will be able to enjoy the dividends of nuclear fusion faster in the future.

Of course, the most important thing is that this battery is now in their hands.

Thinking of this, Ma Gaoliang's face showed an even brighter smile.

He patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Chief Lin, Chief Lin, you are worthy of being the one!"

"Sure enough, I came to the right place this time. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have known that you had done such a big thing!"

Having said this, he couldn't help but ask: "Speaking of which, since you did it yesterday, why didn't I hear you say it yesterday?"

"Well." Lin Xiao spread his hands, "I am also preparing to develop a new type of hydrogen storage material. I am planning to wait until this hydrogen storage material is developed before doing research."

Hearing Lin Xiao's plan, Ma Gaoliang suddenly felt speechless, "This is 3.5 times that of others, isn't it enough?"

"How is this possible?" Lin Xiao said with a smile: "They are so arrogant, and that guy named Matsushita Makoto seems to often touch me during press conferences, right? Can you tolerate this? Don't fuck with him."

Ma Gaoliang was even more speechless, "Of course I agree with what you think, but you are already able to fuck him. Are you planning to wait until you have a divine costume before taking action?"

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows, "You actually know how to wear a magical outfit?"

"It's not like I never played games when I was young." Ma Gaoliang shrugged, and then said: "Forget it, I won't care about these for now. Let's do this. I'll contact the people at CCTV and ask them to do an interview for you first. , then you can briefly talk about the results of your battery."

"We can't stand the arrogance of the people in the Panasonic Group. Now it's time for you to take action. As for the hydrogen storage material, we can study it later. It won't be a problem anyway. How about it? Think about it?"

Seeing the expression on Ma Gaoliang's face that he wanted to make his neighbor who was living a good life have a bad life, and Chen Gong and Kang Chengning next to him also had the same expression, Lin Xiao shook his head and said :"Fine."

Ma Gaoliang smiled, then patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder and said: "Okay, then I'll look forward to your performance on CCTV. To be honest, if you look online more, you will know how many people on the Internet are looking forward to it. I'm here to slap you in the face, so when the time comes, I'll try my best to be, um... how should I put it, more awesome than them."

Lin Xiao said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I got it."

"Okay, I'll leave first." Ma Gaoliang smiled and waved his hand, and then left.

Lin Xiao touched his chin, and then asked Chen Gong next to him: "Is that really what the Internet says?"

"Of course it's true." Chen Gong nodded, "Who made that Matsushita Makoto be so arrogant, especially when he always touched you at the press conference? You saw it too. Of course the netizens were very angry. .”

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, "That's right, okay, then let me think about how to behave more awesomely then."

Then he waved his hand: "Okay, you can continue the experiment."

"Okay!" Chen Gong and the others responded and continued the experiment.

…

A few days later.

BYD headquarters.

"Mr. Li, this is tomorrow's schedule."

Sitting in the CEO's office, Li Cai took the schedule handed over by his secretary, glanced at it briefly and put it aside.

"Well, I understand."

He rubbed his head. After a busy day, he felt a little tired.

At this time, his secretary suddenly asked: "It's time for the news broadcast soon. Do you want to watch it today?"

Hearing this, Li Cai nodded, stood up and said, "Let's take a look today. It just gives me a good rest."

"OK."

The secretary nodded, then went over to turn on the TV, and Li Cai also walked over.

When he heard the familiar prelude playing, Li Cai looked at the TV intently.

The first few things were mainly about important meetings and so on. After talking about these important meetings, we moved on to some news that happened in the country.

The first news was about reports on areas without electricity and areas lacking electricity.

Li Cai's eyes lit up when he saw this news. After all, their company has been following Lin Xiao's request recently to help these areas without electricity and areas that are short of electricity. Now this matter was reported on Xinwen Lianbo , does it mean that the country is also paying attention to their company's actions in this regard?

Thinking of this, he felt extremely happy.

He has been having a hard time these past few days. After all, Panasonic Group's hydrogen fuel cells are now staring at them eagerly.

After reading the relevant specifications of the Panasonic Group's hydrogen fuel cell, he was absolutely certain that this battery posed a great threat to them.

Although their business is huge and it is unlikely that they will suffer huge losses because of this hydrogen fuel cell, their market for new energy vehicles needs to be considered.

In recent years, their development in new energy vehicles has been very rapid. A few years ago, there was a situation where production capacity could not match sales volume.

This is inseparable from the fact that they are both a battery company and a new energy company.

And once hydrogen fuel cells become mainstream in the future, the impact on them will of course be huge.

Now, he can only place his hopes on the new battery technology Lin Xiao is researching.

Of course, there is also a prerequisite, that is, they can win from the process of competing with CATL.

Thinking of this, he immediately asked his secretary: "What is the current situation of our power aid plan? And how is the Ningde Era's mine hunting operation?"

"We have obtained permission to build electric wires in 564 areas without electricity, with a total population of 30,000, and the total investment is about 3.4 billion."

"The Ningde era's mine-chasing operation covers a population of more than 20,000, and permits for 389 residential areas without electricity. According to the data marked on their official website, the total investment is 3 billion."

The secretary replied, and at the same time sighed: "This is really a money-burning thing."

The reason why there are only tens of thousands of people in the population, but there are hundreds of areas, is because the living areas of the people in these poor areas are relatively scattered, and they all exist in the form of small villages, with less than one person living in a village. Hundreds of people.

And such a dispersed settlement style also makes the circuits they build very dispersed, and the cost also becomes higher.

Li Cai nodded and said: "Well, so only the State Grid Corporation of China is the most suitable to do such a thing - Oh, it should be called Jinwu Energy Group now. After all, state-owned enterprises have inherent advantages in doing this. .”

The secretary nodded and couldn't help but said: "I just don't know what Chief Lin's side is... If he chooses Ningde Era in the end, our billions will be nothing."

Hearing the secretary's worry, Li was silent for a moment. He was also unsure about this matter, but then he said: "We don't have to think about anything now, just do our job well."

"That day I also had Kang Zheng from Ningde. After chatting with Chief Lin for a while, I realized that for our chief scientist, you just have to do your own thing well. In the end, I believe he will make a fair judgment. Like Ningde Times, they didn't ask any media to help publicize this matter, and that kid Kang Zheng must also know it."

"All in all, just be honest. Maybe Chief Lin won't disappoint us when he sees how much we have put in?"

Hearing Li Cai's words, the secretary nodded and praised: "What you said makes sense. We just need to be honest."

"Um."

Li Cai nodded and was about to reach for the water glass next to him when he suddenly heard the voice of a news anchor coming from the TV.

"Recently, with the influence of controllable nuclear fusion, there has been an upsurge in scientific research on the use of future fusion energy in the world. Among them, research on battery technology has attracted the attention of the scientific community."

"Take the hydrogen fuel cell battery recently developed by Japan's Panasonic Group as an example. Compared with the currently popular lithium-ion battery, this battery has better energy density and can be completely on par with fuel vehicles in terms of battery life. At the same time, it also avoids the charging process. To a certain extent, there is a chance that it will become the mainstream of new energy vehicles in the future..."

Li Cai frowned immediately when he saw the news broadcast on the news.

"Eh? Why are you promoting the Japanese?"

The secretary next to him couldn't help but feel angry.

"That's right. Doesn't this make others more ambitious?"

This kind of news can actually appear on CCTV?

Li Cai frowned, but did not come to a conclusion first, "Wait a minute, let's read the news first. Maybe it's because you want to promote before you suppress?"

The secretary also nodded, temporarily put aside the anger in his heart, and read on quietly.

Subsequently, the news continued to introduce Panasonic Group’s hydrogen fuel cell, mainly describing the excellent performance of this hydrogen fuel cell and the important breakthroughs achieved in internal technology.

Although the more he listened, the more uncomfortable he became, but after all, Li Cai was also the CEO of such a large company, so he became more and more calm and said nothing.

At this time, the news story took a turn.

The screen turned and entered the sky above a building complex. Li Cai quickly recognized this building complex. This was the Dingguang Research Institute!

His eyes suddenly lit up, could it be...

"Recently, Academician Lin, my country's chief national scientist, academician of the Academy of Sciences and Academy of Engineering, and director of the Dingguang Research Institute, led a team to develop another new type of battery, called a proton battery. According to Academician Lin Xiao, the battery has a higher volume energy density than It is more than 3.5 times that of Panasonic Group’s hydrogen fuel cell..."

Li Cai could no longer listen to the rest of the content. Only the last few words he heard echoed in his mind.

[More than 3.5 times that of Panasonic Group’s hydrogen fuel cell]

"Oh my God..."
