Rebirth of the New Farmers in the 1980s

Excluding those electric cars studied by Edison decades ago, the first modern electric car in the true sense was born in 1996, eight years later.

At that time, the California government of the United States promulgated the "Zero Emissions Act" in order to reduce the harm of automobile exhaust to the public.

The decree stipulates that by 2003, sales of zero-emission vehicles in California must reach 10% of total car sales.

It is under this premise that the world's first truly electric vehicle, GM EV1, was born.

The first generation of GM EV1 uses 32 lead-acid batteries as the main energy source. The body weighs one ton, and can travel 144 kilometers on a single charge, with a top speed of 80 kilometers per hour.

But this car did not become popular in the United States, because it was killed in the cradle because of the cheese of the oil giants.

In the field of electric vehicles, Huaguo's research is not behind that of Americans, on the contrary, it is still ahead.

Because in the first two years before the emergence of EV1, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, Beijing Institute of Technology and Westinghouse Corporation of the United States had already produced China's first new energy bus: Yuanwang.

It is a pity that due to the influence of price, market and other factors, the product was not successfully introduced to the market, but it provided technical reserves for the company's new energy vehicle research and development, one of which is power battery technology.

If Wan Feng said that he wanted to build an electric car at this time, he would indeed have the capital to be ridiculed.

But this does not dispel his idea of ​​making a power battery.

"As you know, lead-acid batteries are the most mature and widely used batteries on the market, but foreign countries are already researching nickel-hydrogen batteries and lithium batteries, so what we want to study is naturally not the mature lead-acid batteries, but the next-generation batteries. The first generation of batteries, lithium-ion batteries. Lithium batteries have the advantages of high working voltage, small size, light weight, high energy, no memory effect, no pollution, small self-discharge, and long cycle life. Of course, foreign countries have also started in this field not long ago. Hope We can also make a difference in this area.”

Although these college students don't know much about batteries, they still have some understanding of lithium batteries. Lithium batteries were invented in 1970 and have a history of more than ten years.

"Mr. Wan, do you mean to focus on lithium batteries?"

Of course, it is necessary to study lithium batteries, because 28 years later, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of Huaguo issued a policy: low-speed electric vehicles must be equipped with lithium batteries, and lead-acid batteries are rejected as a power source.

Although it is possible to fish in troubled waters for a period of time with lead-acid batteries in the early stage, it is not the answer after all in the long run, so it is better to bet on lithium batteries from the beginning.

"Yes! But there are many varieties of lithium batteries. What we want to study are lithium iron phosphate batteries and ternary lithium batteries. Do you know?"

There are two well-known companies in Huaguo that have made achievements in lithium batteries in the future: Biati and Ningde.

These two companies have taken two different paths.

Biati uses lithium iron phosphate batteries.

Ningde is taking the path of ternary lithium batteries.

Each has achieved brilliant results.

Wan Feng is going to experiment with these two paths, and finally decide on the one with the highest priority.

The one that is eliminated will be kept as a technical reserve.

The faces of several college students were at a loss. Although they knew about lithium batteries, they didn't know how many types of lithium batteries there were.

"I don't know. It doesn't matter. I can provide you with venues, equipment and sufficient research funds for your research. One year will not work for two years, two years will not work for three years and four years, or ten years and eight years will not work. I believe that sooner or later we will have How about a successful day? Do you have any idea of ​​starting a business in this field with me at the Nanwan factory?"

After several college students whispered for a while, Yang Li asked a unified question.

"Mr. Wan, my classmate wants to know what kind of scientific research conditions and salary you can provide."

"This question is easier to answer. Buy whatever equipment you want as long as you can buy it. If you can't buy it, you can make it yourself. If you don't have it in China, you can import it from abroad.

I can't do anything anymore. "

Someone let out a slight laugh.

"As for your salary, I have already told Master Yang Li last time that the monthly salary is 700, and you can enjoy all the benefits of the factory. If you have research results, you will get a high bonus. The technicians awarded a huge prize of 5 million yuan. This year, I plan to separate the various research projects and conduct independent research calculations in the form of groups, and whichever group achieves fruitful results will receive a cash reward of 50 to 1 million yuan."

Fifty to a million!

It has to be said that this number is extremely lethal. These college students were messed up and bruised on the spot.

After these people whispered for a while, Yang Li made a concluding speech.

"Mr. Wan, these students of mine are going to go back and do some research, mainly to find some materials about lithium batteries in universities, consult some experts and scholars in the academic circles, and see if there is any possibility of success. Will be back."

If these students can get the support of domestic experts and scholars, it will naturally greatly shorten the difficulty and time of scientific research. Wan Feng fully agrees.

"I agree with you to search for information and consult experts, but I want to correct one thing for you. Even if there is no hope, I also hope that you can come to the Nanwan factory for research. Even if there is no result, there will be technology accumulation. Maybe someday It worked out, and I sincerely hope that you will come back."

"Okay! Let's go back and study it, maybe we will come back someday."

"Don't tell me, the door of the Nanwan factory will always be open to you. Even if I'm not here, I will continue to explain. You can come anytime, and someone will solve the equipment and research conditions you need. Well, you are now me. Temporary workers hired by the factory temporarily, you go back to check the information and find experts, and I will calculate the salary for you, so that your burden will be lighter. In order not to cause pressure on you, I will not give you too much, first give each person a month Two hundred yuan, it will be regarded as my sponsorship for your food and travel expenses."

And such a good thing?

The few college students were completely restless this time, not counting the workers in their companies to pay their wages.

"That's good! We are motivated, Mr. Wan, you won't be disappointed." This time Yang Li didn't discuss with her classmates, and directly made a decision on their behalf.

Since the other party agreed, Wan Feng fulfilled the promise on the spot.

On the surface, this is sponsorship, but in the dark, it might as well be a chain. Whether or not these heaven's favorites can be locked up depends on the strength of the chain.

Wan Feng led them to the accountant, and issued a temporary salary slip for the five college students, stating the monthly salary of 200 yuan, and paid the cash on the spot.
