Scholars in the courtyard

After the photo shoot, everyone exchanged some pleasantries, and then Yang Xiaotao asked someone to find a battery.

Mr. Ye also asked someone to connect the manufactured inverter.

Yang Xiaotao knew that solar panels convert light energy into electrical energy, but this electrical energy is direct current.

To charge the battery you need AC power.

This is the function of the inverter.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao didn't think any more, picked up the battery and walked towards the solar panel.

After taking two steps, he turned back and asked, "Is the charging capacity enough?"

"Military Yang, no problem."

A man came out from the side and answered seriously.

Everyone looked and saw that it was the head of the electrical engineering department, Li Tiejun.

Now, this person has finally made it, and his status has risen along with the other nine departments.

Of course, it is not easy to hold on to this position without solid skills.

"This battery is 25 amp-hours and has a voltage of 6 volts. Normally, one amp of discharge can last for more than a day!"

"If it's fully charged, we use a 20-watt light bulb, which can last for a day or two!"

"Okay, go ahead!"

"Yes, Yang Bu!"

Li Tiejun responded, then connected the battery, and everyone present looked at the light bulb.

Sure enough, the light bulb didn't light up.

After get off work, Yang Xiaotao went to take a look at the solar cells.

Before he got close, he saw Mr. Ye sitting on the steps nearby, with Xu Hua and others also sitting beside him.

Several people's eyes were fixed on the solar panels in front of them.

As the sun sets, the position of the solar panels also changes. Fortunately, there are not many buildings around, so they can receive sunlight.

In May, the days are getting longer. Now that I’m off work, the sun hasn’t set yet.

“That’s about it!”

Yang Xiaotao walked up to it and looked at the battery.

If the indicator light on it doesn't light up, you know the battery is not fully charged.

"How long?"

When Yang Xiaotao came over, Ye Lao and the others stood up and came to him. Xu Hua looked at the time, "Five and a half hours."

"If you spend a day, maybe you can fill it up."

Yang Xiaotao looked at the sun, which had turned red as he spoke, and then said, "That's it for today. Let's try again tomorrow morning!"

"Connect this battery to the power cord and see how much power it has!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Xu Hua led his men to start cleaning up.

At the same time, connect the battery to a light bulb nearby, and the light will light up instantly.

"I'll stay tonight!"

Liu Hao was eager to try it out. He wanted to see how long it would last.

"Okay, I'll come next time!"

Xu Hua patted Liu Hao on the shoulder and decided on the order.

The next day, just after dawn, the news that had been brewing for a day began to come out.

At the same time, reports about solar cells were also reported on the radio.

Yang Xiaotao walked into Department Nine, where two new announcers were broadcasting information about solar cells on the loudspeaker.

The related deeds spread quickly.

"Military Yang, the results are out!"

Before Yang Xiaotao reached the office building, Liu Hao came over with dark circles under his eyes and a look of surprise on his face.

"How many hours?"

Yang Xiaotao was also curious.

Liu Hao stretched out his hand and drew a number nine. "The light has been on for nine hours and eighteen minutes."

"But at six hours and thirty-six minutes, the brightness starts to fade!"

Liu Hao reported the exact time, which means this guy didn't relax all night.

“That’s pretty good!”

"Leave the information here and go back to rest!"

Liu Hao nodded, "I have already put the solar panel in place. I will charge it for a day today. Maybe it will be fully charged!"

“Then we can calculate the amount of solar power generated…”

After Liu Hao left, Yang Xiaotao walked into the office.

In the corridor, people from various departments were discussing the issue, and many of them were curious about solar power generation.

After entering the office, Lou Xiao'e and Liu Lixue were also chatting. When they saw Yang Xiaotao coming in, they hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Director Yang, the solar energy is generating electricity. Will it be more convenient for us to use electricity in the future?"

Liu Lixue was also curious, "Yes, as long as there is sunshine, there will be electricity. Then the countryside will also be able to use electricity!"

Listening to the two people talking and laughing, Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "How can it be that easy? Others don't know, but you don't know it either?"

"The cost of this thing is so high that it may not be popular even in 30 or 40 years, let alone now!"

After Yang Xiaotao said this, Liu Lixue and the others realized that the solar cells at the moment were not something that ordinary people could use.

The heat in my heart cooled down, but was soon stimulated by the words "No. 1 in the country" and became hot again.

After processing the documents in the morning, Yang Xiaotao went to Tianjin to check the production progress of the calculator.

When I returned to the Ninth Department in the afternoon, Mr. Ye came to see me.

In the office, Mr. Ye was chatting with Chen Fang, and Xu Hua and others were listening attentively.

When Yang Xiaotao walked in, Mr. Ye immediately put down his pen. Chen Fang also turned around and saw Yang Xiaotao, then stood up.

"Uncle Chen, long time no see."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and walked forward to greet her, but Chen Fang smiled and said, "It's been a long time indeed."

After the two greeted each other, Yang Xiaotao glanced at Mr. Ye, who looked at Chen Fang and nodded slightly.

"Xiao Yang, congratulations! We haven't even made the solar cell yet, but you guys have completed it first."

"Once this happened, our industry was greatly encouraged."

"You know, the United States is the only country that can make solar cells now. The Alliance hasn't even made it yet."

"Last time when we were negotiating with the alliance, we were just talking about it so that they would believe us. But I didn't expect you to do this the other way around. Now it's hard for the alliance to not believe it."

Chen Fang congratulated with a smile, then started talking nonstop.

Yang Xiaotao had only known Chen Fang for a short time and originally thought she was an 'honest' scientist, but he did not expect that she had such a 'social' side.

Yang Xiaotao quickly said politely, "It was just a fluke."

"We succeeded by luck, but of course it was also due to the unremitting efforts of our comrades."

As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao took out cigarettes and distributed them around, then lit one for Chen Fang.

Mr. Ye picked up the cup on the table and drank water. Before Yang Xiaotao came, he only talked about the research on solar cells, especially how to overcome the difficulties encountered.

In Mr. Ye's opinion, Chen Fang's visit this time was probably to "learn from others". He did not hide anything and said everything he could.

All that’s left is to take out the craft materials that haven’t been sorted out yet.

"Speaking of this research."

"We encountered quite a few problems, but we overcame them all. This can be considered a kind of tempering."

"I think that through this research, our colleagues will be more relaxed in their subsequent work and make better solar cells."

Xu Hua, Liu Hao and others nodded immediately. This success gave them great confidence.

As long as there is enough material, they are confident that they can improve solar cells.

After hearing this, Chen Fang didn't know what to say and felt speechless.

There is not even any sign of progress for our own solar cells, but look at others, they are already preparing for subsequent improvements.

This gap is really not a little bit.

I was even more resentful of that guy Old Song in my heart.

It would be fine if I didn't do this kind of thing myself, but they asked me to do it and said they were playing the emotional card.

Why doesn't he try it himself?

Besides, this is someone else's research project. Even if you want it, you have to wait for them to show their willingness to cooperate.

Since they haven't done it yet, the proposal for cooperation is real cooperation.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But now that they have already made it, what’s the point of talking about cooperation?

To put it nicely, it is cooperation, but people who are not in the know may think it is stealing the other party's research results.

"Of course, if we have any problems with subsequent technology, we still hope to get help from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. After all, the comrades at the Chinese Academy of Sciences are very excellent and have a lot of theoretical knowledge and work experience."

Seeing that Chen Fang looked a little embarrassed, Yang Xiaotao quickly changed the subject.

Just after saying this, Chen Fang's expression not only did not improve, but became even more embarrassed.

cough cough

"Teacher Ye, please go ahead. I have something to discuss with Xiao Yang."

After a long time, Chen Fang finally made up her mind to talk to Yang Xiaotao.

He could see that Teacher Ye could help, but the final decision would definitely be made by Yang Xiaotao.

So, he didn't want to make things difficult for Teacher Ye.

Just go straight to Yang Xiaotao and be frank with him.

"Okay, you guys go ahead and do your work. I still have some research data to process."

Mr. Ye said this with a smile, and then gave Yang Xiaotao a wink.

Yang Xiaotao didn't understand what it meant, but he thought it was about solar cells.

Well, this needs to be carefully considered.

The two men stood up and walked out, out of the gate of the institute, and came to the training ground at the rear where the security department was.

Chen Fang listened to the training calls beside her ears, but she had no intention of paying attention to what was happening in front of her.

"Uncle, are you worried?"

Yang Xiaotao asked knowingly and changed the subject.

"Well, I'm here on behalf of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to inquire about cooperation on solar cells."

Chen Fang stopped and stated her purpose directly.

Yang Xiaotao was not surprised at all. Instead, he asked, "Uncle, how do you want to cooperate?"

Chen Fang glanced at Yang Xiaotao. He was a little confused by the other party's calmness.

However, he still told him what Mr. Song had mentioned, "As you know, we are researching new satellites."

"Just like the space-based weapons you mentioned, if you use satellites as platforms, you need to keep the satellites powered, which requires sufficient power."

"So, solar cells are the best choice."

“So, you need this technology, right?”

Yang Xiaotao expressed the deeper meaning of Chen Fang's words.

cooperate?

hehe.

I have already done it myself, why would I need to cooperate?

Could it be possible to cooperate in production and expand the scale?

Then why do I need to look for them myself?

The Ninth Ministry can produce and sell its own products. If all else fails, it can cooperate with the First Ministry of Machine Building.

So this so-called cooperation is just freeloading.

Chen Fang's face flashed with embarrassment, and then she nodded, "Yes, that's right."

At this point, what's the point of being embarrassed?

All for 'Satellite'.

Yang Xiaotao didn't get angry after hearing this, but instead asked, "Uncle, I'm asking you something."

"If we give you this technology, you can definitely ensure that it will be useful for satellites?"

Chen Fang frowned when she heard this.

Then Yang Xiaotao continued, "As I said, the current research on solar cells has just started, and there is still a long way to go before they can meet the requirements for satellite use."

"Uncle Master, I'm not looking down on you. It's just that research requires more than just knowledge and experience."

"Sometimes, you still need a little luck."

Hearing Yang Xiaotao say this, Chen Fang opened her mouth wide, a little at a loss.

Then, there was a long silence.

luck?

He had never thought about this.

But if you think about it carefully, it does make sense.

At the very least, their Chinese Academy of Sciences is better equipped than the nine ministries, with more knowledgeable talents and better instruments and equipment.

The comrades also work very hard and have a responsible attitude.

But I just can’t do it.

On the contrary, what about the other party?

Teacher Ye counts as one, Yang Xiaotao counts as one, and the rest are students.

But they just made it.

If this isn’t luck, what is?

After a long while, Chen Fang asked, "What do you want to say?"

Yang Xiaotao took out a cigarette and they both lit it up. "I think we can cooperate."

"We are responsible for developing and providing you with suitable solar cells."

“And you just need to use it.”

Chen Fang looked at Yang Xiaotao and asked calmly, "What do you want?"

There is no free lunch in the world.

Yang Xiaotao is not someone who would suffer any loss.

Yang Xiaotao immediately smiled modestly after hearing this, "Uncle, you are being too polite."

"We are revolutionary comrades, and it is only natural for us to help each other."

Chen Fang narrowed her eyes, "If you say so, I will take it seriously."

"It has to be true."

"If you have difficulties, we will definitely help you unconditionally."

Yang Xiaotao patted his chest and assured.

"But we are in trouble, and you have to lend a hand."

Yang Xiaotao added one more sentence at the end, which made Chen Fang roll her eyes.

"Tell me, how can we help?"

"Haha, that!"

Yang Xiaotao leaned in and whispered, "Uncle, I want partial use of your next satellite."
