Chapter 1095: Asking for Demands

"So when will our battery technology be officially commercialized? BYAT has already made sodium batteries for commercial use, and has adopted lithium iron phosphate technology into the third generation.

Ningde Times is also betting on the price of lithium ore, and wants to firmly occupy the majority of the share of new energy batteries and prevent BYAT from continuing to advance.

Never mind Tesla's garbage 4680 battery, they can only get by with old and out-of-date technology.

Now, Neon car companies have been pressured by domestic car companies to reduce the prices of all products by more than 20%, but they have not stopped the downward trend. The sales of brands such as Nissan were cut in half last year.

This year is the best window period and the most important milestone window period. We must provide more technologies to our partner companies, otherwise they will start to force us.

You know, at present, a small car series of BYAT can achieve monthly exports of up to 1,000 units and domestic monthly sales of more than 40,000 units.

After several years of shuffling and making choices, these partner manufacturers have formed a two-way street of self-research and acceptance of our licensed technology. If we are not faster than them, we will be abandoned! "

Um? ? ?

Just a second ago, I was talking about astronomy and human accidents.

Are you urging product technology in the next second?

Are you one of those demand managers? Or the project leader?

The young researchers and assistants who had just joined the Titan Star Department for a few years were stunned. Their minds had not yet turned around.

And those project leaders, whether they were related to new energy or had nothing to do with new energy and new energy vehicles, all held their breath at this time, and some even He also shrank his neck, trying to minimize his presence.

During this period, everyone has been stimulated by previous projects such as AI girlfriends, bionic robots, and mechas to focus on the integration of existing technologies, so there is a lack of energy allocated to the basic materials and system research and development of their own projects. .

If in other companies, there is no substantial progress in such a short period of time, everyone can pat their chests and say: "This is a normal phenomenon in scientific research. The positioning of each screw needs to consider issues such as structure and material rigidity, so we don't have that yet." This is called a milestone progress, but according to the plan and with some of the results we have achieved so far, we can still complete the task.”

But at Jiuzhou Technology, facing this tough guy on the stage who dared to ask executives from mobile phone manufacturers like Xia Wei and Da Mi to come to Chengdu to "give money" since the early days of his business, before the company had a formal research team, even if it was about his qualifications Even the young researcher consciously kept his mouth shut.

But Gu Qing did not stop and wait for these young people to turn the corner.

He continued: “The outbreak of solar flares and climate change will make humans rely more on technological products to improve and help production and life.

When physiological needs cannot be met, as long as our products have irreplaceable special characteristics, the previous measures to close the door will become window paper, which will break with just one click.

So we don't have enough time. "

Everyone's eyes were a little wandering, embarrassed, and dull.

But it only lasted for a few seconds, and the upright man from science and engineering raised his hands as if he didn't know what it meant to be embarrassed.

"Zhou Wu? I remember you are in charge of polymer materials. What can you say?"

For this man from Harbin Institute of Technology, who is a classmate of Chu Ci and others, but has always been engaged in the fields he is good at and has never done research across fields, Gu Qing is...

No impression.

The reason why the other party was able to achieve a small management-type research management was only because of its pragmatism and one of the personnel changes made when Xuanwu and Haechi adjusted the research team together.

After getting Gu Qing's permission, Zhou Wu stood up shyly like a college student who had not yet graduated. Then he saw that the microphone on the table had turned on the green light, and then he hurriedly took the microphone to his own Around the mouth.

Most people sitting here knew that this microphone did not need to be brought to the mouth to receive perfect sound, but no one laughed at this young man.

"Our research team discovered a carbon crystal that can change its structure through energy impact, but the conditions for the formation of this substance are very harsh. At the same time, a few months ago, a Dr. Daxia who worked at Uncle Sam described in a Nature paper , he and his collaborators discovered a macroscopic layered crystal that has the characteristics of charge neutrality and pure carbon base.

Although this two-dimensional molecular sheet is similar to graphene, it is a layered two-dimensional material composed of covalently linked fullerenes as structural units. In appearance, it shows a hexagonal arrangement.

This result is very similar to our discovery, but according to his description, they discovered the vigilance through mechanical exfoliation, and also said that these crystals can produce neutral carbon two-dimensional molecular sheets with clean interfaces, This created conflict within our entire experimental group.

The preliminary steps of our two methods are roughly the same, that is, the fullerene alkaline earth metal complex grown by chemical vapor phase transport is treated with dilute acid to create a single crystal of the fullerene layered polymer, which can retain the original structure. The carbon-carbon covalent bond can also remove the intercalated alkaline earth metal, thereby forming a mechanically exfoliated, charge-neutral two-dimensional covalent fullerene network.

Compared with those previously discovered polymeric fullerene species, the thermal conductivity of this material is nearly an order of magnitude higher than that of molecular fullerene crystals, and this high-quality charge-neutral all-carbon macrocrystal can be processed to obtain a surface without reaction. Two-dimensional flakes of ions or contaminants, thus meeting the requirements for creating high-quality heterostructures and optoelectronic devices.

When we discovered this material, it was on April 1st, when a solar flare broke out. Now it seems that our experimental instruments should have experienced a very subtle fluctuation, resulting in extremely small numerical differences in the energy impact. The new carbon material that led to our discovery has the same properties as the doctor claimed, but it cannot be copied. "

Gu Qing did not interrupt Zhou Wu's slightly stuttered speech, he listened attentively.

"So our team has been thinking about the success of replicating the material during this period, but even when the solar flare erupted again a few hours ago, we hurriedly repeated the steps of the last success, but still got nothing.

So I suspect that our research equipment needs a major overhaul, and at the same time, some high-precision equipment may need to be replaced. "
