Super Dimension Technology Era

Chapter 99 Thermoelectric Conversion

"Mingzhe, I graduated." Wen Na smiled and waved her diploma in front of him.

Huang Mingzhe smiled.

After Wen Na resigned as Secretary-General of the Truth Society in November last year, she devoted herself to studying for a master's degree, and finally got her master's degree in March.

“Don’t plan to study for a PhD?”

"No, I've already signed up for a doctoral degree, but I don't need to go to school often." Wen Na winked mischievously.

"Then stay and help me!"

"What a beautiful thought."

He smiled and shook his head: "How about letting you be the secretary-general of the Thinking Society?"

"real?"

Huang Mingzhe gently grabbed her hand, his eyes full of trust: "There are too few people I can completely trust, come and help me."

Wen Na's cheeks were slightly hot, and then she nodded arrogantly: "Seeing how hard you have worked so hard, I reluctantly agreed, but the small amount cannot be less."

"Haha, I can't live without you, little money fan." Huang Mingzhe smiled and ruffled her hair.

The two discussed some things about Thinking Club. Apparently Huang Mingzhe wanted Chen Wenna to take over his daily affairs in Thinking Club so that he could devote himself to scientific research and other affairs.

However, in order to avoid being too abrupt, and because Chen Wenna needed to get familiar with her work, Huang Mingzhe made a half-year transition plan for her, handing over the work of Thinking Club to her step by step.

Wen Na has been the secretary-general of the Truth Society before, so she still has work experience. With Huang Mingzhe's support and guidance behind her, I believe there won't be a big problem.

The recent semiconductor war has diverted a large part of Huang Mingzhe's energy, and now he can finally devote most of his energy to scientific research.

The Materials Research Institute of Haicheng County has expanded hundreds of times in size at this time, with dozens of materials laboratories taking up the entire town.

This town has now transformed from agriculture into a service industry, specifically providing services to employees and researchers at the scientific research base.

The minibus passes through lively streets, filled with restaurants, fruit shops, bakeries, flower shops, grocery stores, etc. The whole street is filled with these shops.

Not far from the town, there is the employee dormitory area on the east side and the scientific research area on the west side.

After entering the scientific research area, Huang Mingzhe's minibus parked in the parking lot, then changed into an electric sightseeing car and arrived at the thermoelectric materials laboratory.

At this time, there was a discussion in the laboratory.

"Jianshu, what are we discussing?" Huang Mingzhe asked while changing his work clothes.

Liu Jianshu, who was wearing square-framed glasses, noticed Huang Mingzhe coming in: "President, we are discussing a crystal lattice problem."

Huang Mingzhe, who had changed his work clothes, was holding a special tablet computer: "How much has your efficiency increased now?"

"16.71%."

This refers to the efficiency of direct conversion of thermal energy into electrical energy. The research project of the Thermoelectric Materials Laboratory is thermoelectric power generation.

That is to directly convert thermal energy into electrical energy. However, the difficulty of this project is extraordinary. Although the conversion efficiency of 16.71% is already very high, this efficiency is still unsatisfactory.

The thermoelectric power generation equipment that can be commercialized on the market generally has a thermoelectric conversion efficiency between 6 and 7%, and is generally used in the field of waste heat utilization.

To truly become a mainstream power generation equipment, the thermoelectric conversion efficiency must be refreshed to at least 20%, and preferably reach 40%.

The reason why thermoelectric power generation is developed is that the principle of thermoelectric power generation is very simple, that is, there is a temperature difference on both sides of the material, and then the high-temperature area actively neutralizes the low-temperature area. In this process, energy is generated, and thermoelectric power generation takes advantage of this principle.

In fact, thermoelectric power generation and photovoltaic power generation are very similar. One is direct thermoelectric conversion and the other is direct photoelectric conversion.

Referred to as power generation from one board.

Unlike ordinary power generation, which requires a complicated system to boil water, the more times the energy is converted, the lower the overall conversion efficiency is.

Huang Mingzhe touched his chin and started thinking.

At present, the thermoelectric materials in the Thermoelectric Materials Laboratory have achieved a conversion efficiency of 16.71%; while the photoelectric conversion efficiency in the Optoelectronic Materials Laboratory is currently around 27.5%.

If photovoltaics and thermoelectricity are combined to create a power generation system, the power generation efficiency should be good, but this is still too far from Huang Mingzhe's goal.

The inertial restraint laboratory, which has been conducting intensive experiments recently, is approaching controllable nuclear fusion faster and faster.

At present, the energy level of the solar arch laser has been refreshed to 18,600 J. Using four solar arch lasers to focus, the total energy level can be increased to 74,400 J.

The higher the energy level of the laser, the better the efficiency of laser ignition, and the size of the device can be reduced accordingly.

However, as the energy level of the laser increases, other problems also arise, such as the accessory materials of the laser head being easily burned through, the transformer being difficult to match, material issues with the reactor, etc.

In short, the problems are numerous. Once one problem is solved, several new problems may arise. Even if the Institute of Optics and Mechanics and major domestic plasma research institutes have joined the inertial restraint laboratory, many problems still make people feel numb. .

Bringing his thoughts that were floating to the horizon back to the thermoelectric laboratory, Huang Mingzhe checked the progress of the laboratory and then got into working mode.

The Thermoelectric Materials Laboratory has a law model of thermoelectric materials that he personally developed. While screening these thermoelectric materials, he also upgraded the law model.

Currently, only he can complete this work. Modifying and upgrading the regular model requires a very deep foundation in computational materials science, as well as proficiency in various fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology.

Huang Mingzhe dared to pat his chest and say that even if everyone in the material science community came together, they would not be able to successfully modify and upgrade one of the law models.

After a busy day, he just got off work when he received a call from Wei Feng.

"Mingzhe, I have completed the final verification work with Dayi, and the model has been sent to your email."

"That's good, let's go back to Lingnan in a few days!"

"That's what I meant."

"By the way, for safety reasons, I will arrange for someone to pick you up."

"good."

The two of them are not the kind of people who like to talk on the phone. After finishing the matter, they hung up the phone directly.

After he took a shower, Fat Auntie had already prepared dinner.

Wen Na is already eating.

"Is work going well?" Huang Mingzhe asked while picking up the bowls and chopsticks.

"It went pretty smoothly."

The two of them chatted while eating. This was a rare leisure time after finishing the meal.

The two of them came to the study room, and he retrieved a lot of information from his laptop: "Wen Na, these are the black sheep in the company. According to the degree of harm, you deal with them."

Wen Na looked at the dozen or so detailed investigation reports in her notebook, glanced at him in surprise, and then nodded.

This was Huang Mingzhe's preparation for her to establish her authority. If she didn't kill the chicken and scare the monkey, the people in the company would probably violate it.

After reading more than a dozen materials, Wen Na joked with a smile: "It seems that I am determined to be this evil person."

"Go! Girl, I leave everything there and look forward to the day when you become the king of business. Then I will be the king's man." Huang Mingzhe said funny.

"What a beautiful idea!" Wen Na scolded with a smile.

It was rare for the two of them to joke around. At this time, the moon was rising above the willow branches. April was the time when spring was warm and flowers were blooming. It was also the season when all things grew and multiplied.

Those two Yunnan early cherry blossoms are in full bloom at this time, and the night is gentle and full of poetry, which always makes people linger in the gentle countryside.

It's a pity that the spring night is short, and the morning sunshine reminds him to continue fighting.
