reborn industrial empire

…………,…………

Professor Matt showed considerable kindness, which made Jin Xiaoqiang feel very happy. It seemed that he had spent his money in the right place.

In fact, when he was negotiating with Jeffrey, the other reason why he so generously agreed to give the other party 300 million Australian dollars was to express his goodwill towards Professor Matt through Jeffrey.

In fact, after Jeffrey introduced Professor Matt's background to him, Jin Xiaoqiang began to pay attention and quickly asked his team to start investigating Professor Matt.

Fortunately, Professor Matt is also a relatively well-known figure in Australia, especially in the research and development of solar cells. Soon they saw this professor's papers in newspapers and scientific research magazines some time ago, as well as his

of verified experiments.

The professor used a new pin-jet process and a chemical etching process to divide a large solar panel into countless small panels. This greatly saved the cost of solar cells and also improved the efficiency of solar cells.

The photoelectric conversion ability of this kind of battery was widely reported in Australia some time ago. However, due to the high cost, it gradually fell into neglect and no longer attracted people's attention.

But Jin Xiaoqiang attaches great importance to this. You must know that his future hybrid cars will definitely be involved in solar cells.

However, currently, in terms of battery research and development, he really has no talented people under him. Although China is also known as a technological powerhouse in solar energy in later generations, Jin Xiaoqiang also knows that our domestic solar energy industry, like other industries, is

It's big but not sophisticated. In key core technology fields, it's still only in the hands of foreigners.

So when he planned to start researching electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles, he had already started to take precautions and sent Alice and Wang Jiao out to recruit people everywhere.

As long as there are people who can diligently engage in scientific research and have real skills, especially in the field of lithium batteries and solar cells, he wants to win these people under his banner.

Now that he met Professor Matt, of course he was thinking about what he should do to get Professor Matt to work for him!

"Haha, you really deserve the award. Although I have made certain achievements in the automotive field, our research and development fields are different. In my opinion, your research field is the real king. After all, as petroleum energy is becoming increasingly depleted,

With the advent of the new era, new energy technology will surely become a key research object for us humans, and I admire you very much for your achievements in this field."

This principle is eternal and applies to everyone, whether you are a native of China or a foreigner.

Sure enough, after Professor Matt heard what Jin Xiaoqiang said, the smile on his face became even stronger, and he felt as if he was walking under the bright spring sunshine in May with the breeze blowing all over him.

Comfortable.

Professor Matt's research almost made him smile like a crescent moon. He knew that although he had made certain achievements in the field of solar cells, in terms of real influence, how could he compare with the big bosses of star companies like Jin Xiaoqiang.

"Mr. Jin, you are so generous. I have only achieved a small amount, but it is nothing compared to you."

Matt was still very humble, but Jin Xiaoqiang held on to it and continued to praise him.

"Professor Matt, I really admire your scientific research results. By the way, can you tell me what your process looks like?"

This sentence can be said to scratch Matt's itch. It has always been his pride to know this new method of making solar cells.

"Haha, okay, Mr. Jin, you know that most of the solar cells we use now are based on 7 cm thick silicon crystal chips, and such chips are generally vertical in solar cells.

arranged. And the new process I developed this time is to first use

The laser knife cuts these chips, and then uses alkaline solution to etch these chips. Of course, this requires many complicated methods. After this series of processing, we can now do this.

Chips cut into 1,000 small units."

When Jin Xiaoqiang heard this, he couldn't help but grow up. The half-thick chip was actually broken down into 1,000 small chips by this guy. The technology of these guys is too awesome!

Matt also saw Jin Xiaoqiang's expression. He was very satisfied with Jin Xiaoqiang's reaction. You must know that many people can't help but be surprised when they know the result. After all, this technology is really awesome.

"Then we use the flattening method to flatten these small chips on a solar panel, so that a brand-new solar cell is made, and the thickness of this solar cell is only equivalent to a piece of plastic wrap.

membrane, and the area of ​​this battery is about the size of two pieces of A4 paper, which can generate electricity equivalent to an entire large solar panel that was common in the past.

As Matt spoke, he gestured with the shape of the solar panels with his hands. Jin Xiaoqiang was dumbfounded and his heart skipped a beat.

When I really wanted to sleep, someone came to give me a pillow. I just wanted to study hybrid electric vehicles, and God sent an expert in solar cells over here.

You must know that future generations of Japanese people have also considered using solar cells for hybrid electric vehicles. After all, it is a bit too inconvenient to just charge the car at home or at a charging station.

Wouldn't it be better if a solar panel could be installed on the car so that the car could be charged anytime and anywhere? However, this plan was later canceled due to the lack of solar technology.

But I didn't expect that I would meet Professor Matt in this life. It seems that his invention can help me solve the problem of using solar energy to charge my car.

But, since his skills are so powerful, why haven't we heard of him in my previous life?

"So that's how it is? Then, Professor Matt, I would like to ask, why is your solar cell technology not widely promoted now?"

Although Jin Xiaoqiang knew that this question was a bit presumptuous, he still couldn't help but ask. He wanted to know more specific reasons. How expensive is this technology and why is it so expensive?

Matt didn't hide his answer after hearing Jin Xiaoqiang's question.

"Mr. Jin is like this. Our technology is indeed very new, and it can also increase the photovoltaic accuracy of ordinary solar cells from the original 18% to 21%, not only in the processing process, we have to use a lot of

The complex process, laser cutting, and alkali corrosion technology are very complicated, which will cause this kind of

The production cost of solar panels is too expensive, and although its photoelectric conversion rate can reach X, its efficiency is still a bit low compared with the ordinary batteries currently popular on the market, so if it is popularized in a large area, it is really a bit

The gain outweighs the loss, so this is the main reason why no one is buying our patent at present.”

It turns out that the problem still lies in the processing technology. Although this technology can produce such panels and save a lot of raw materials compared with the original panels, the cost does not seem to be reduced much, and the 21%

Compared with other batteries, the photoelectric conversion rate does not have much advantage.

Jin Xiaoqiang began to think deeply. When Matt across the street saw Jin Xiaoqiang's serious thinking, he couldn't help but wonder, what's the matter? Is this guy interested in solar cells?

You must know that he is currently researching with his old friend, Professor Edwards, who is also a professor at the University of Sydney. They have always been a new technology of solar cells, but now there is a lack of funds. If this guy is interested in solar cells, then

, maybe maybe we can get some investment from him?

Thinking of this, Matt quickly continued to Jin Xiaoqiang.

"Mr. Jin, are you interested in solar cells?"

"Yes! It's just that the technology of solar cells is still too immature at present. The conversion rate is only about 20%, which is not enough...

It is true that in later generations, BYD, a Chinese car company, once installed batteries with a conversion rate of more than 20% in their electric vehicles, but later people complained that there was almost no difference between the batteries installed and not installed.

So he was a little worried, even if he got these technologies, what would happen?

"Well, haha, okay, let me tell you more. In fact, I am currently working on a new solar technology with my colleague Edwards. We plan to call it "turbocharged solar cell technology."

If this technology can be successfully researched, do you know how high the photoelectric conversion rate we can achieve?"

At this time, Jin Xiaoqiang had already been attracted by Matt's words. "Turbocharged solar cell technology" sounded interesting.

"If this technology is successfully developed, the photoelectric conversion rate of this solar cell can reach 40%!"

Matt said to Jin Xiaoqiang with a face full of pride, and at this time, Jin Xiaoqiang was completely shocked by the data reported by Matt.

What is the concept of a photoelectric conversion rate of 40%? In other words, if a family has a few such solar panels on their walls, their total monthly electricity consumption can be saved by 100%.

Fifty or more.

This can alleviate the problem of electricity shortage for a family or even a country.

"Can you explain it to me in detail?"

Jin Xiaoqiang really became interested and asked Matt to continue explaining.

"Mr. Jin, you know that the working principle of ordinary solar cells is to convert electrical energy through photochemical frequency conversion. However, during this conversion process, it is often thought that there is a problem with the battery material or the arrangement of the silicon crystal structure inside, which makes

The conversion frequency is reduced, so that only a part of the solar spectrum can be converted into electrical energy. But now Edwards and I plan to research a new material, which means we plan to adjust the original

The structure of the silicon wafer is used in this way to force the two low-energy red photons in the cell to join and turn into a yellow photon, and then capture the light and convert it into electricity. This idea

Edwards and I have done it many times on the computer. Theoretically, there is no problem. But what we need to do now is to develop a processing technology that can make the internal molecular structure of the silicon wafer change as we want.

.”

Although Jin Xiaoqiang couldn't understand part of Matt's explanation, he still vaguely understood what Matt meant.

Haha, that's just right. Since everyone is understanding, let's just talk straight to the point!

"Well, Matt, what stage is your experiment currently at?"

It has not yet been launched. We have done research on those two processing technologies before, but because it has not been converted into funds, our next phase of research has not yet been launched.”

Matt also somewhat understood what Jin Xiaoqiang meant, so he went straight to the point.

"Then how much funding will you need to complete this project?"

Umbrella Xiaoqiang asked again.

One...it may cost about 100 million U.S. dollars, and it will take a year or two."

Matt thought for a while and then answered Jin Xiaoqiang.

"What do you think if I invest in this project?"

Jin Xiaoqiang asked with a smile again.

"Haha, of course we welcome you to invest!"

Such an experiment is very risky and requires a lot of money. Of course, Matt doesn't want to end up investing all his wealth in it and get nothing?

Now someone wants to invest so they can reduce their risk, which is of course the best thing for him and Edwards.

"Well, let's do this! I can fund this experiment of yours. One hundred million US dollars is nothing to me, but it must be in installments. You must apply and report to me for every experimental step, and then I will send

While following up, people are approving the flow of funds. Of course, if this experiment

If the development is successful, then I want 50% of the rights. The remaining 50% belongs to you and Professor Edwards. And if I invest in this project, I want to get your previous one.

New processes for processing solar cell chips using laser cutting and alkali etching.”

Jin Xiaoqiang was also straightforward and stated his conditions directly.

Matt on the opposite side almost jumped up excitedly at this moment. This is really great. Those two crafts have been ignored because they are too expensive. Since Jin Xiao

If he wants it, just give it to him.

And if they can get an investment of 100 million US dollars from him, then their next step in solar cell research and development... won't it be possible soon?

Matt felt that if Edwards heard such conditions, he would definitely agree.

"I very much agree with your conditions, but I still have to go back and discuss it with Edwards. How about I give you an answer tomorrow?"!
