Chapter 837 Subversion

Yang Yi felt that the burden on his shoulders was too heavy, so heavy that he couldn't bear it, because the consequences of Li Fan's words were too serious.

How serious is it? It is serious enough to subvert the existing world structure.

So serious that it could cause World War III.

Because this is simply a technological advancement across the ages.

The first industrial revolution was the age of the steam engine, marked by the emergence of the steam engine.

The second industrial revolution was the electrical age, marked by the replacement of steam engines by internal combustion engines.

The third industrial revolution is an era, represented by biotechnology, aerospace technology, electronic information technology, etc.

So far, mankind has not been able to carry out a new industrial revolution, and the biggest constraint is the energy issue.

The most important energy source in the steam age was coal, and the most important energy source in the electric age was undoubtedly oil. Until now, humans have not found a new energy source that can replace oil. To be precise, it is a new energy source that can completely replace oil as a fuel. .

There is no need to go into details about how important oil is. Normal people know that without oil, the entire human society will be paralyzed.

And oil is destined to be exhausted.

Humanity has fought many wars for oil, isn't it because oil is too important? But what if there is a new material, even if it is not a new energy source, just a new material that can replace the main function of oil as fuel?

The simplest example is electric vehicles.

Why have electric vehicles been unable to replace fuel vehicles? Because after charging for a few or even ten hours, they can only run two to three hundred kilometers, which makes most people give up on electric vehicles, even if charging stations can be as common as gas stations. also the same.

But if a new battery emerges that can run 2,000 kilometers in half an hour of charging, can this kind of car replace a fuel vehicle?

Cars are just the simplest example. There are also all portable electronic products such as mobile phones and computers. What would be the concept if the battery life could be improved dozens of times?

It is no exaggeration to say that if this new material can be applied on a large scale, it will be a cross-generation product that completely subverts the world's electronic product market. It will be a product that affects the national economy and people's livelihood around the world. To say it is an industrial revolution is still an understatement. Even the fourth industrial revolution barely qualifies.

Whoever masters this technology first will control the future.

And such a serious or great task fell on Yang Yi's head.

Yang Yi felt his head was a little dizzy. He and Li Fan walked to the front of the Venus statue. After staring at the incomplete and beautiful masterpiece for a long time, Yang Yicai whispered: "But it's not right, Uncle Wang. If the material Is it really as powerful as you say? Is the British government stupid?"

The cause is two small cameras, special cameras for spies, made by the British. After launching the first industrial revolution, do the British have the opportunity to raise the banner of the fourth industrial revolution? If so, Then God is too kind to Britain.

But the problem is that since the British have made a finished product, how could they not realize the value of this thing?

Don’t forget one thing. After the camera was made, it was shelved, otherwise it would not have been acquired and sold by Eric Forland.

"If you ask me about this kind of thing, who should I ask? Or should I ask you this?"

Li Fan spread his hands, and then he whispered: "You suddenly sent back these two gadgets. I don't know how you got them. Now this gadget has caused a sensation. You ask me why Britain People don’t care? Or have the British conducted more in-depth research? How do I know?”

Yang Yi whispered: "The materials are important, right? Then you have already obtained the materials."

Li Fan sighed lightly: "That's the problem. Of course we already know the raw materials, but the problem is that the molecular formula of this raw material is different from the past. That is to say, we know what the raw materials of this thing are, but we don't know how to use them. It has changed its form and turned into a material with completely new functions and properties, so this process is the most important.”

Li Fan looked at Yang Yi and whispered: "Time is very important, so I contacted you at all costs. Let's imagine that maybe a laboratory accidentally discovered a new material, but they were unaware of it. to the importance of this material.”

Yang Yi said without hesitation: "This is impossible!"

"Yeah, it's impossible. How can a person with a little bit of scientific literacy not know the value of this material? Then the second scenario is the worst. The British discovered the new material, and then they have been researching it. Maybe It is research on how to apply it on a large scale, or it may be secret research on how to reduce costs, but no matter which one it is, the British have already taken the lead, and we cannot let this happen, even if we are not the first to discover it. , but we must be the first to implement industrial applications!”

After finishing speaking, Li Fan whispered: "In the end, it may be found that all of this is just a failure. A material that originally had high hopes was abandoned for various reasons. This has happened many times, but it is also possible. This is a great discovery that can change the process of science and technology. Our task is that no matter what the final result is, at least in the beginning, we cannot fall behind, because this kind of scientific and technological process can affect the rise and fall of a country. We have missed it in the past hundreds of years. We have had many opportunities to take the lead, and we must not miss it if we encounter another opportunity now. We can no longer wait for the next 100 years!"

Yang Yi took a long breath, and then he whispered: "I understand! I bought this thing from a spy equipment dealer, his nickname is Christmas Tree, and his name is Eric Folland. "

Li Fan whispered: "We will definitely try our best to figure it out, but time is tight. You have the best conditions to do it in the shortest time, so you are the one who takes the lead, and we will fully cooperate, unconditionally, at all costs." cost!"

"at all costs?"

Li Fan looked at Yang Yi and said in a low voice: "Don't make a big deal out of us now that you know our determination. Thirty million US dollars is a lot!"

Yang Yi smiled sheepishly and said, "Um, can you give me a little mention? Such an important thing..."

Li Fan sighed and said, "You're a bad student. Let me tell you this. The commission will not increase even a cent. What I just talked about was just the prospects. Do you understand the prospects? If it can be confirmed, I will give you three hundred million." Dare to promise it to you."

Yang Yi sighed softly and said: "Okay, if you don't tell me this, I won't know it. You can't give me such a big face and I'll cheat you again. So be it, I've experienced it. Yes, we’ll do it right away.”

Li Fan said with satisfaction: "That's right. Don't worry, you don't have to pay for the necessary funds. As long as this matter can be done quickly, the funds for the event will not be a problem!"
