Technological Hegemony

? After tasting the delicacies of the capital for two consecutive days, Luo Jia finally got a taste of the dark cuisine of the imperial capital.

On the morning of the second day of the Electric Vehicle 100 Forum, An Ran insisted on trying the famous bean juice in Beijing.

So under the leadership of Hong Tao, they came to a small shop at the entrance of the alley and ordered soybean juice and coke rings.

In the end, An Ran only took a sip, and almost vomited. She retched while hugging the trash can, and Luo Jia also gritted her teeth.

As expected of the famous dark cuisine, the soy sauce tastes so damn strong that non-locals are not blessed to enjoy it.

Luo Jia felt his stomach churning, he hurried to the side of the road, stood next to a trash can, lit a cigarette for himself, and tried to dispel the smell of soybean juice.

Early morning was the beginning of a busy day, and Luo Jia saw radio bicycles passing by quickly.

A beautiful girl in fashionable clothes stands on an electric balance bike with a sports backpack on her back, her long hair fluttering in the wind, and her back is very free and easy.

Although it has only been on the market for a short time, electric vehicles can already be seen on the streets of Beijing. Without exception, these vehicles have the logo of Xingchen Technology on the rear, slowly rotating the Milky Way.

The rotating panorama of the Milky Way is a registered trademark of Xingchen Technology, and only products produced in cooperation with Xingchen Technology can be used.

It is by no means an easy task to print the Galaxy logo on the packaging.

Star Technology only cooperates with the strongest domestic enterprises, and every product produced must meet strict quality standards.

At this time, An Ran and Hong Tao also came out of the small restaurant.

Luo Jia handed Hong Tao a cigarette. Since they had no luck to eat soy milk and scorched rings, the three of them didn't eat much. They stood half-starved by the side of the road, counting how many things there were, with the Galaxy logo of Star Technology.

Charging piles on the side of the road, mobile phones in people's hands, computers in backpacks, and an office worker in a hurry, shaving his beard with an electric razor while walking fast.

The number of electric vehicles is relatively small, and they only saw seven of them after standing on the side of the road for more than ten minutes.

But I believe that with the increase of upstream battery production, one day, China will be full of convenient and affordable all-electric vehicles.

Not far in front is the Bell and Drum Tower.

The ancient buildings stand majestically, and the blue bricks and stones are weather-beaten.

In this ancient city, modernity and history are intertwined to form a picture of Chinese life today. Such a magical picture, those craftsmen who built the Bell and Drum Tower back then, I am afraid they would never have thought of it.

Looking at everything in front of him, a sense of pride arises spontaneously.

Men, there is always a dream of changing the world, and although Luo Jia and his tough guys have not fully realized it so far, fortunately, they are on the road to changing the world.

"Do you want to stay another day?" Hong Tao asked tentatively.

Luo Jia shook his head lightly, "No, today is the official meeting of the Electric Vehicle Hundred People's Association, where bigwigs from all sides gather, and the outcome of the meeting is beyond our control."

"Let's go back. There are still many things to do. The supercapacitor needs to be tested, and the offshore wind power project has countless topics that need to be publicized. As a scientific research company, research is our old profession."

"The issue of whether to promote full electricization is actually a political issue, or a question of interests. We have already done what needs to be done, and we have also made it clear what needs to be clarified. We just go back and wait. "

An Ran frowned, "That doesn't sound like your style. According to what I know about you, you will be prepared for everything, and I'm afraid it will be the same this time."

Hong Tao slapped his thigh excitedly, "That's right, I don't believe you are just obediently waiting for others to make a decision. You must have a plan."

Luo Jia smiled wryly and said, "Look at what you said, even if I have the courage, I wouldn't dare to wrestle with the superiors, okay?"

"But." Luo Jia said lightly: "The first thing we built was not electric cars, but electric motorcycles and bicycles."

"So far, our partners have established a firm foothold in Southeast Asia, and they have been fighting with Japanese manufacturers headed by Honda for two full months."

"And then?" An Ran and Hong Tao asked curiously.

Luo Jia said solemnly: "The automobile industry involves too many interests, we can't control it, but in the motorcycle industry, we still have the final say."

"In one go, take Southeast Asia, and then go to Europe, let the whole world see that we also have muscles."

 …

The latest newspapers were placed on the old man's desk.

With the growing strength of the Internet, traditional media is declining day by day, but in China, newspapers are not only a tool for news dissemination, but also have a special meaning, representing the voice of authority.

The old man flipped through the newspapers one by one. They are all in prominent positions today, publishing the supercapacitor project of Xingchen Technology, which has reached the stage of the laboratory.

Afraid that ordinary readers would not understand, the editors specially added a note. The later stage of the laboratory means that the theoretical construction and performance testing are all up to standard, and the difference is only the last two steps, the environmental test and the batch construction experiment.

Among them, the environmental test refers to wind and rain, sun and freezing.

The batch construction experiment is to select sites across the country, build several experimental energy storage centers, and put supercapacitors into practical use.

Environmental testing can be done by Xingchen Technology, but the batch construction experiment Xingchen Technology cannot do by itself. It needs to cooperate with the power grid. After all, Xingchen Technology neither produces electricity nor has its own power grid.

Although Star Technology is already the world's first-class giant company, it is the first time that it has been touted so much by the official media.

Even the official media couldn't help labeling the energy storage project of Xingchen Technology as beneficial to the country and the people. One can imagine what kind of uproar it will be in the academic and technological circles.

A capacitor technology that has nothing to do with ordinary people has become the number one hot spot on Weibo, overwhelming the news of major stars, which is something that Luo Jia never expected.

Photoresist is also a major event in the technology world, but it didn't even make it into the top ten hot spots.

Industrial software is the foundation of a big country. The software department originally planned to invest 1,200 top elites, but so far, the total number has exceeded 1,500, and it is still increasing rapidly. This incident has not caused much disturbance .

Only energy storage technology has brought too much shock to the academic and technological circles, and it has even reached the highest level. Countless large companies and tens of millions of people's jobs are unresolved at this moment. It is understandable that the attention is so high. of.

"Professor Ouyang is here." The secretary reported to the old man.

"Oh please."

The old man stood up and greeted him personally.

Then the two sat down on the sofa, and the old man made tea for him. Professor Ouyang was flattered.

"How was the meeting this morning?" the old man asked.

Professor Ouyang said very excitedly: "It went smoothly unexpectedly!"

"Star Technology is amazing, it's really amazing!"

"After they released the research results of high-density carbonized capacitors yesterday, the new energy project team, major automotive laboratories, and the university research team headed by us at Tsinghua University had a whole night of discussions."

"There is no doubt that theoretically speaking, the theoretical construction of Xingchen Technology is impeccable!"

"So at the meeting today, we in the academic world no longer hear voices of opposition, at least the voices of technical opposition have completely disappeared, and some professors are concerned about funding and personnel issues."

"It's no wonder that a lot of money has been spent on fully investing in the construction of charging piles, and more funds will be needed in the future."

The old man smiled, "Yes, if you want to do big things, you have to spend a lot of money."

"Huaxia Power Grid has prepared to throw down all the profits of the past ten years. In other words, within a few years, the financial statements of the power grid will show a state of large-scale losses."

"However, the power grid is still very positive. After all, full electrification will lead to a second spring for the power grid, and the scale will double or twice. It is not a big problem."

"I called you here today mainly because I have something I want to ask."

"Tell me." Professor Ouyang said hastily.

"I read the report of Luo Jia's speech. He specifically mentioned competition in the field of new energy, such as Neon's barium titanate capacitor technology, North American tungsten oxide capacitor technology, graphene technology that is being developed all over the world, and Germany's Deep sea energy storage technology, are these technologies really that powerful?" asked the old man.

For technical issues, he is a layman, and he still needs to consult experts like Professor Ouyang.

Professor Ouyang's face sank, "It's ashamed to say that, after all, we are engaged in scientific research, and we also care about foreign technologies, but we are not as sensitive as Xingchen Technology."

"In the final analysis, they are not only scientific research companies, but also fighting on the front line of global competition. For this reason, they are more critical to judge whether foreign technology will pose a threat than those of us who are purely sitting in the laboratory. Accurate and have more say.”

The old man nodded slightly, the truth is indeed so.

Luo Jia felt a huge competitive pressure from the opponent's research direction, especially Germany's deep-sea energy storage technology, which Luo Jia considered as an imminent enemy.

As a scientific research enterprise rushing to the front line, Luo Jia paid so much attention to German technology. The reason behind this must not be simple.

Professor Ouyang paused, "I feel that the judgment of Xingchen Technology is not wrong. Take battery technology as an example, Xingchen's 300H battery technology is not the best in the world. The joint laboratory of Panasonic and Sony, Germany Physical Technology Laboratory, North American Bell and Loth Joint Laboratories."

"In their laboratory, there must be more advanced technology than Xingchen Technology, but Luo Jia and Xingchen Technology are very thieves. They don't take high technology as the standard, but aim at cost performance."

"The 18650 batteries they are making now cost less than 8 yuan, which is driving their competitors crazy. If they dare to follow up at this price, they will all lose their pants."

The old man laughed. When it comes to the chicken thieves of Xingchen Technology, everyone knows that.

The most classic battle is that they took advantage of Google's fees and suddenly launched their own star system, killing Google by surprise, leaving the world's most powerful Internet company with only half life left.

The fiasco of Samsung and Apple is also a classic case that can be written into textbooks.

Professor Ouyang said with concern, "Luo Jia's idea is right. The fierce competition has just begun. Once the major competitors solve the cost problem, they will vigorously promote whether we push full electric or not, because that That's the future."

After hearing Professor Ouyang's words, the old man leaned back.

He felt that the torrent of history was approaching, making people breathless. However, convincing everyone to turn collectively was not an easy task.

Professor Ouyang thought for a while, "I called Luo Jia today, and he told me a piece of news."

"What news?" The old man opened his eyes and asked curiously.

"He said that the automobile industry is a bunch of bullshit bosses, and he can't control it." Professor Ouyang said seriously, "But the time has come. The motorcycle industry dominated by Xingchen Technology will shift from tentative attacks to Complete clearance."
