Technological Supremacy Chapter 145: The difficulty of scientific research is more difficult than reaching the blue sky!

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

As the sound continued, the inheritance of extraterrestrial civilizations was being instilled into his brain, forming folders one by one.

As long as these folders are opened, the data inside will be transferred to Luo Jia’s brain storage center.

Sounds like a wonderful process, but anyone who has gone to school understands that mere memorization of what the teacher taught is only the first step in learning.

What is more difficult is to understand and integrate knowledge into a handy tool.

Luo Jia is learning a lot every day now. The more data stored in his brain, the more content he has to learn, understand, and master.

For a long time, Luo Jia hated the noise in her head and went to see a doctor specifically.

However, as Xingchen Technology continued to grow and enter more and more sophisticated fields, Luo Jia began to desire more knowledge to solve the current problems.

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

He wants to go to middle school and university, because only by continuously improving his learning level can he lead Star Technology and develop more black technologies that can change the world.

It would be great if the sound of ticking in the brain could be made faster.

It’s a pity that the golden dome obviously has its own plan. It is like a silent teacher, instilling knowledge into Luo Jia bit by bit according to a fixed rhythm.

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

Because he couldn’t be distracted by the things on the earth, at this stage, every step forward for Xingchen Technology became more and more difficult.

Lately they have been stuck with energy storage technology.

This technology is very important, because only by solving the problem of energy storage can we maximize the use of the large amount of electricity that is wasted in the country every day.

As a group of Chinese people, everyone in the Tough Guys hates waste very much, not to mention energy, an astronomical amount is wasted every day.

It’s really shocking, 20% of wind power and solar power generation, and 30 to 40% of thermal power plants run half the time.

If all these electric energies are utilized, how much gdp can be created and how many electric vehicles can be driven on the road.

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

The research of the pumped storage group is how to turn the excess electric energy into potential energy, build a large reservoir, use the excess electric energy to pump water, store it in the reservoir, open the gate when needed, and use the hydroelectric generator to generate electricity .

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

Pumping water with a water pump consumes electricity, and then generating electricity with a hydroelectric unit will cause a lot of loss. The water is stored in the reservoir, and the sun will cause evaporation, which is also a loss.

So based on the current situation, although Xingchen Technology has a pumped storage research team, Luo Jia does not think this technology is suitable for the future, but just in case, he did some research.

There is also a compressed air energy storage group.

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

This research is suitable for wind power generators, because wind power generators can directly drive the compressor to run, but the disadvantage is also huge loss.

There is also a group working on flywheel energy storage.

The so-called flywheel energy storage is like winding a mechanical watch. Friends who have worn a mechanical watch know that it needs to be twisted twice every morning, and the energy is stored in the flywheel during the twisting process.

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

However, based on the principle that he would rather kill by mistake than let it go, Luo Jia also asked people to study it.

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

In terms of electrical energy storage research, Stellar Technology has a key research group directly led by An Ran, the supercapacitor group.

The supercapacitor is a kind of electric double layer structure composed of activated carbon porous electrodes and electrolytes, and finally obtains the existence of super large capacity storage.

Different from batteries that use chemical reactions, the charging and discharging process of supercapacitors is always a physical process, which is simple, rough and effective.

The advantages of supercapacitors are many, 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, said as early as 2011 that the batteries of traditional electric vehicles are outdated, and new vehicles powered by supercapacitors will replace them in the future.

It now appears that Musk said this too early.

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

But in any case, it can be seen that the supercapacitor 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 a Future energy storage solutions.

This is also the reason why An Ran and Ji Ming, the two big names in the company’s hardware department, are all in the super capacitor bank.

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

Although Star Technology’s main focus is on supercapacitors, Luo Jia has not let go of other technologies that may be successful.

There is also a superconducting energy storage group in the hardware department, and the things researched by that group are amazing.

The superconducting energy storage system roughly includes four major parts: superconducting coils, cryogenic systems, power regulation systems and monitoring systems. Using the characteristic of zero resistance of superconductors, it is made into a device for storing electric 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 material science of the company, another talented person, Chao Anbang, is the host of this project.

Chao Anbang is a local talent produced by Tsinghua University, the number one student in science in the Huizhou college entrance examination, and a genius recognized by Tsinghua University.

How awesome is this guy?

It is said that when he was in class, as long as he raised his hand to ask a question, the professor standing on the podium would tremble, and it often happened that the professor was so tossed by him that he couldn’t continue speaking, so he directly asked Chao Anbang to speak on the stage .

Chao Anbang is much younger than Ji Ming, only in his early twenties. His talent is comparable to Ji Ming’s, but he has less experience.

Ji Ming has presided over the Cambridge Nanomaterials Laboratory. He is not only excellent in research and development, but also has the ability to manage projects.

In general, Chao Anbang is a bit like Ji Ming’s student, but he only accepts Ji Ming’s guidance at work, and does not have any status as a mentor.

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

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

Yes, learn.

The learning atmosphere of Xingchen Technology is very strong. The talented people Di Wuchang invited back from all over the world, they all have a few young people with terrible potential under their command.

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

Another feature is that the grade is too high.

Although Chao Anbang is only a student of Ji Ming in Xingchen Technology, but if he returns to Tsinghua University one day, he will be a professor-level existence.

Only in an army of giant monsters like Xingchen Technology, would it happen that Chao Anbang became a student for others.

Looking at any university in the country, it is impossible to do it at all, because even the top talents of Peking University and Tsinghua University are not the opponent of Xingchen Technology.

The tough guy group and the brainstorming group are essentially a combination of scientific research monsters and super scientific research monsters.

Even if this is the case, Star Technology still has an elimination mechanism.

Every year, someone will enter the branch below to work. If they want to stay in the headquarters for a long time and have access to the most cutting-edge scientific research results, everyone in the tough guy group must continue to work hard.

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

Maybe after a while, Chao Anbang will be able to join the brainstorming group.

For everyone in Xingchen Technology, it is a great honor to be included in the brainstorming group.

Will Chaoanbang’s superconducting energy storage group be successful?

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

But is the superconductivity research led by Chao Anbang worthwhile?

It is simply too valuable. After all, this is superconductivity. Even if it cannot be applied to energy storage projects, it will inevitably explode with unparalleled power in the future.

There are already five research groups, but in order to solve the energy storage problem, Xingchen Technology has a sixth group, the electrochemical energy storage group.

Electrochemical energy storage simply means 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, and they will also study sodium-sulfur batteries and flow batteries.

However, the probability of success in electrochemical energy storage is relatively low, and it is not the primary task of the battery project department.

The research on energy storage by the six groups has occupied a huge amount of energy in the hardware department, but this is still far from over.

The company has even recently formed a new marine division.

Yes, in order to solve the energy problem, Star Technology even has to design engineering ships.

According to Luo Jia’s plan, the next step for energy storage is large-scale offshore wind farms.

Wind turbines are not wooden stakes, just stick them into the sea.

The environment under the sea is so complicated. The soft sand can’t support the wind turbine at all, so piles must be driven to build a submarine platform.

In order to build a submarine platform ~Soverse.com~, it is necessary to study meteorology, study ocean currents, draw accurate topographic maps of the seabed, and detect the geological structure of the seabed.

That is to say, when it comes time to start building offshore wind farms, Star Technology will also set up a meteorological department and an ocean research department.

This is scientific research, scientific research is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the sky!

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

Star Technology’s Baoshan headquarters, every day when you open your eyes, hundreds of millions of scientific research funds are flowing.

Luo Jia has been busy in the dark for two days, constantly studying and going to various project teams to listen to reports.

When Luo Jia received a call from his mother at noon on the 20th, he realized that today was his birthday.

Just in the summer vacation, the children were on vacation, Pengcheng’s uncle and uncle came to Shanghai, and his mother told him to go home early today.
