"You guys go put on your lab coat first and then come here." Xu Yun had already thoroughly understood the solid-state battery technology in his mind. Now that he could finally start practicing it, he couldn't help but feel impatient. He turned his back and said these words to Lu Yi and Wan Xiaoyong. Stepping into the chemical materials room: "Today we will start research and trial production of insulating materials and solid electrolytes."
Lu Yi and Wan Xiaoyong looked at each other, and they could see the entanglement and worry in each other's hearts.
When they first received the invitation from Deepin Technology, they were in high spirits.
The warm blood in my bones was activated.
I want to use the knowledge I learned overseas to return to China to help develop domestic battery technology.
Join the most talented young genius in China to do something earth-shattering.
This will save you from being buried.
But they never expected that as soon as they signed the contract, reality would give them a wake-up call.
It is true that Xu Yun has talent, but it is more in theoretical mathematics. They have never heard that Xu Yun is very knowledgeable about batteries.
Now Xu Yun is personally responsible for the research on solid-state batteries, and has promised to complete it within a few months.
No matter how you look at it, it is impossible.
A complete waste of time and resources.
They didn't mind being Xu Yun's assistants, but they just watched helplessly as the laboratory, which had invested tens of millions of dollars, was going downhill before it could make any achievements and was unable to exert its effectiveness.
"What should we do now?" Wan Xiaoyong was the first to ask after two seconds of silence.
"Who would have thought that our genius would be so interested in solid-state batteries, but now that we have signed the contract, we can only cooperate with the other party to conduct research on solid-state battery technology."
Wan Xiaoyong sighed and explained the current situation clearly, as if he had already made a decision.
How could Lu Yi not know this? Even if Deepin Technology is willing to let them leave on their own, there is a high probability that they will choose to stay in this solid-state battery laboratory.
Not to mention that I was unwilling to come and leave. I was reluctant to part with the salary and benefits promised by Deepin Technology.
"Solid-state batteries are a technology recognized by the industry as being able to start a battery revolution. I'm not surprised that Mr. Xu is interested in it. It's just that he oversimplified the difficulties involved." Complex emotions piled up in his heart, and finally turned into a few words of emotion. He said from his mouth: "Real metal all-solid-state batteries are not that easy to make, otherwise the big overseas companies would not continue to invest money in laboratories for research."
"There is no need to be so depressed. Maybe this is not a good thing." Wan Xiaoyong patted Lu Yi on the shoulder and said softly.
"Good thing?"
Lu Yi was a little confused: "What's so good about it?"
"Mr. Xu will be personally responsible for the solid-state battery project. I believe this will give him a new understanding of solid-state battery technology." Wan Xiaoyong did not sell out at this time, but directly expressed his thoughts: "Wait until you understand the complexity It will naturally make you feel calmer.”
After hearing all these words, Lu Yi understood what Wan Xiaoyong meant after a moment's thought.
His face immediately became relaxed, and he agreed very much with Wan Xiaoyong's idea.
"That's right."
"By then it will be much easier for us to persuade."
"Let's go change clothes first." Seeing this, Wan Xiaoyong stopped talking and took the initiative to walk towards the dressing room.
Lu Yi naturally followed closely behind.
Xu Yun didn't know that two researchers in his laboratory had concluded that he couldn't make a solid-state battery.
Walking into the Chemical Materials Department, as soon as I started up all the equipment, I noticed Lu Yi and Wan Xiaoyong pushing open the door and walking in.
They were all wearing standard lab coats, and even their eyes were not exposed.
There is a risk of explosion in batteries, especially when tested, which is considered a high risk in various laboratories.
Although it is explosion-proof according to laboratory specifications, researchers will inevitably be injured if an accident occurs.
Therefore, specialized lab coats are essential.
Seeing his two assistants approaching, Xu Yun did not immediately start researching and trial-producing materials. Instead, he picked up a nearby document and turned around and handed it to Lu Yi and Wan Xiaoyong.
"This is the theory and chemical equation for making solid electrolyte materials that I wrote before. You two should take the time to understand it first, so that you can give me some help when the time comes."
The two of them took the document with shocked expressions and immediately looked through it. Unexpectedly, Xu Yun was actually prepared.
However, they didn't think much about it. After all, if they didn't have any relevant knowledge, they wouldn't be able to start, so how could they talk about researching and trial-producing solid electrolyte materials for solid-state batteries.
They were relatively casual at first, thinking that they definitely knew more about these contents than Xu Yun.
But as time gradually passed, the two of them did not realize that they had been immersed in the contents of the file.
At the same time, his expression became more solemn.
"Brother Wan."
"Have you ever learned about the production method of this solid metal electrolyte at Songxia Battery?"
I don't know how much time had passed, but Lu Yi was the first to look back, suppressing the surprise in his heart and taking the initiative to ask Wan Xiaoyong.
His whole face seemed calm at this moment, but in fact, his heart was already in a turmoil and it was hard to believe.
The production of solid metal electrolytes in the document is very novel, and the key is to rely on his experience to see that it is feasible.
It's not an untenable theory.
In other words, making solid metal electrolytes in this way is undoubtedly a new breakthrough.
Even if the actual performance cannot yet be determined, it is equivalent to pushing the development of solid-state batteries a step forward.
At this time, he suddenly remembered what Xu Yun said just now. It was not a goal that was taken for granted, but a guess based on certain reliance.
"No."
Wan Xiaoyong shook his head and answered.
Then the two of them raised their eyes again and looked at Xu Yun who was playing with the equipment.
Lu Yi couldn't control his excitement at first, and his voice trembled slightly as he asked Xu Yun for details.
"Mr. Xu."
"Did you research the solid electrolyte materials and production methods above?"
"Have you already laid out battery technology in addition to mathematics?"
Two questions were asked in a row, and he and Wan Xiaoyong stood quietly aside, patiently waiting for Xu Yun's answer.
Xu Yun stopped his movements and looked at the expressions of the two people. He didn't know what they were thinking.
The content on the document was written by him in the past two months and was originally intended to be used as a paper.
Thinking that it would help the two of them cooperate with me better and increase their confidence so that they could devote themselves to research, I took it out for them to watch.
The effect now seems very satisfactory.
The thought stayed here, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he replied casually.
"It took several months of research to obtain these results. As for whether the battery can achieve the ideal data, I am afraid we will have to wait until the samples are released to know."
When these words reached their ears, they felt deeply shocked, as if they had learned nothing in the past thirty years.
"How many months?"
"talent?"
He murmured these keywords in his mouth, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
As PhD students who have studied chemical materials batteries for many years, the two of them are at the same level.
Naturally, it can be seen from the content of the document that Xu Yun's understanding of battery technology is no lower than theirs.
If I hadn't studied for several years, it would be impossible to achieve this level.
Thinking that Xu Yun had a background in theoretical mathematics, he suspected that Xu Yun should have been exposed to chemical materials very early.
The results of it.
It only took a few months of actual research.
He would not suspect Xu Yun of deliberately exaggerating the facts. After all, some people's talents were indeed prohibitive.
Lu Yi himself did not expect that ten minutes ago he was worried about his future and did not believe in the all-solid-state battery Xu Yun said, but now he seems to be a completely different person, only wanting to complete the solid-state battery as quickly as possible. The production of electrolyte materials produces samples for various tests to determine whether this new production method of solid-state batteries can be successful.
He knew that the moment he chose to join Deepin Technology, the gears of fate had already started turning.
Xu Yun saw that the two of them were a little silent because of his stimulation, and he also wanted to test their actual level.
So he simply took over the conversation and asked: "Both of you are outstanding talents in the field of battery research. I wonder if you think my new method can realize a real solid-state battery."
Hearing this, Lu Yi came to his senses first and answered without hesitation: "Although Mr. Xu's method is different from the current industry practice, solid electrolytes can be produced with higher efficiency. As long as they can pass various tests, they will definitely It caused a shock to the entire battery industry.”
Compared with Lu Yi's increasingly fanatical attitude, Wan Xiaoyong's views are obviously much more conservative and cautious.
"This new method of making electrolytes does have merit, but whether it can be applied on a large scale depends on the energy density of the battery."
"Whether it's successful or not will be clear once we make a sample and test it. I'm afraid it won't be easy next time." Xu Yun nodded at the two people's answers, but did not finish the sentence directly.
After all, the two of them don’t know anything about solid-state battery technology, so it’s really difficult to be convincing without getting specific test data.
With this solid electrolyte material manufacturing theory as the support for the entire solid-state battery project, Lu Yi and Wan Xiaoyong completely put away their previous contempt.
He began to put all his energy into the laboratory and cooperated with Xu Yun to complete the production of the first sample.
Soon, March entered, and the Abel Prize, another authoritative award in mathematics, officially announced the list of winners.
Xu Yun's name is prominently included.
Perhaps because Xu Yun has won the Fields Medal and the Wolf Prize in Mathematics one after another, no one is surprised by this result.
On the contrary, it would be abnormal if there was no Xu Yun.
As relevant news spread throughout the Internet, netizens were looking forward to what choice Xu Yun would make.
Are you going to receive the award?
But what was shocking was that before Xu Yun could publicly respond to this matter, the Norwegian Academy of Sciences, the body responsible for the Abel Prize, issued a statement.
It was decided to send someone to Jingzhou City to award Xu Yun an award. This kind of initiative to change his own rules can be said to give Xu Yun more face than the Wolf Foundation.
The happiest people about this are definitely the Mathematical Society and Jingzhou University. Various signs indicate that the rise of the domestic mathematics community is unstoppable.
