Technological Hegemony

? Luo Jia's speech is over, but this storm about new energy has just begun.

Luo Jia was in the venue, surrounded by big bosses of Xu Electric Power, and asked many questions related to the future. Fortunately, An Ran was also by his side, and his answers were quick and decent. not come.

In the private room, as well as those important people in the back row of the venue, they all started to leave the venue one after another. They would not come to ask questions in person. If they really want to know something, just ask someone to talk to Luo Jia.

For example, Professor Ouyang and Chief Engineer Ning Zeping, when they communicated with Luo Jia, they often carried tasks with them. Everyone knew it in their hearts, but no one pointed it out.

Luo Jia smiled and said loudly, "Our judgment on the future is relatively optimistic. With the development of economy and technology, the total electricity consumption of society will definitely increase significantly."

"This is not just a problem with electric vehicles. You may know that the most important machine in the semiconductor field, the lithography machine, is rapidly advancing from ultraviolet light to more advanced extreme ultraviolet light."

"Compared to previous technologies, extreme ultraviolet light is actually a miracle-making thing. Its energy efficiency conversion rate is only 0.02%, that is to say, 99.98% of the electric energy takes It is lost when the machine is working."

"Maintaining an EUV lithography machine with a power of only 250 watts consumes up to 30,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity every day. In order to introduce such a machine, TSMC forced the local area to expand its power plant."

"Of course, this is just an extreme example. With the improvement of living standards and the improvement of industrial automation, these will bring huge power gaps."

"Don't look at our total power generation, which is already 1.6 times that of North America, but in terms of per capita, North America's per capita power generation is 16,000 kWh, while ours is only 4,000 kWh, which is four times worse."

"Since we want to catch up with North America, it means that one day, our per capita power generation will reach the same level as North America, or even exceed their level."

"Calculated according to this standard, our annual total power generation will increase from the current 6 trillion kWh to at least 24 trillion kWh."

Hearing Luo Jia's judgment, all the power tycoons were both excited and melancholy.

Excitement is because electricity consumption has risen by four times, and power companies can do bigger and create more profits.

And the melancholy is because Luo Jia's judgment on the future is too terrifying, twenty-four trillion degrees? How many power plants will be built?

Roger paused.

He continued: "I know that among all of you, there are also bigwigs from the oil industry."

"Actually, both oil and electricity are energy industries. If our judgment on the future holds true, the power grid will expand by at least four times in the future. The opportunities here are too great, not only for the power sector, but also for the power sector. Opportunities in the oil sector."

"No matter how advanced the society is, oil will always be used, because oil not only involves transportation, but also involves chemical industry, and such a large power gap cannot be completely solved by thermal power, wind power, solar power, nuclear power, these are all Future standard configuration."

As for the future of the oil industry, Luo Jia just scratched the surface and passed it by. After all, the future direction of these giants is not something he can decide.

But judging from the current actions of the national team, the trend is already very obvious.

Like all countries in the world, everyone has realized that the future energy must be dominated by electricity. This is not just the words of China, but a global consensus.

In addition to getting involved in the chemical industry, oil companies can also get involved in projects such as offshore power generation to diversify their operations. Anyway, the road is there, and it depends on how they choose.

It was hard to get away from the siege of the power bosses. The weather in October was almost winter, but Luo Jia, An Ran and others were sweating profusely.

They didn't stay nearby, they drove into the alley and found a secluded small restaurant.

As soon as the cold dishes were served, Luo Jia opened a bottle of Yanjing Beer and was drinking when Professor Ouyang called.

"I tell you some good news." Professor Ouyang said in a somewhat mysterious tone: "Someone is very satisfied with your speech today."

Who is satisfied?

Luo Jia would not ask such stupid questions, he just smiled.

Professor Ouyang also said, "You can do it boldly. Scientific research companies like you and Huawei are too late to be protected and supported by the state. How can you suppress them? As for how big a giant you can become in the end, it depends on you. In short, someone has already understood your situation, so let's work hard in the future."

Luo Jia thanked Professor Ouyang and asked him when he would have time to have a meal together.

As a result, Professor Ouyang has been quite busy recently, and his schedule is already full, so he had to make an appointment in the future. Anyway, Luo Jia and the power department are so deeply involved, it is inevitable that there will be many opportunities to meet in the future.

Putting down the phone, Luo Jia told everyone the original words of Professor Ouyang.

An Ran is a top student, he has no sensitivity to politics, shrugged his shoulders, and continued to eat his shredded pork with Beijing sauce.

Hong Tao grew up in the capital since he was a child, and he has been exposed to it a lot. He was very excited about it, and guessed at the wine table which big bosses came today, and which big bosses were more satisfied with Xingchen Technology.

Luo Jia hurriedly stopped him from continuing to say that what he was running was a scientific research enterprise, and a certain amount of political support was enough. There was no need to rush to get closer to power. It is best to separate business and politics.

Luo Jia raised his glass and said with a smile: "In any case, the supercapacitor project is finally settled, and our products have entered the power sector. This is not just a matter of profit, but the future is moving in the direction we want. Another big step forward.”

An Ran nodded again and again, "That's right, the reason why the brothers in the company work so hard is that apart from their salary, the most important thing is that they want to use their own power to change society and life. After all, who didn't have any dreams when they were young and can see their dreams come true. It's worth risking your life!"

"Mr. Luo, do you think it's time to arrange the next tasks? With energy storage and installation ships, we should copy the base camps of Siemens and Vitas, right?"

Everyone is very excited. Although the company has done a lot of technology pre-research, according to the consistent style of Star Technology, it has always concentrated its efforts on big things.

As Luo Jia himself said, modern scientific research has become a highly complex and difficult task that requires crazy money.

If you want to solve the problem as soon as possible and come up with a plan, you must put all the company's scientific research strength into it and engage in large-scale scientific and technological research.

Luo Jia smiled, "Don't worry, according to the old rules, let's go on vacation first. After all, many people in the company have found girlfriends, and we must leave some time for everyone to fall in love. After the vacation is over, I will tell you what to do next." direction of attack."

 …

The signing ceremony between Star Technology and the power department was carried out very low-key.

However, the global impact of this incident far exceeds the advent of any new type of electronic product. After all, the large-scale popularization of supercapacitors marks a major turn for the country of China.

The world's well-known media published special reports on the second day after the signing of the contract. These reports took up a lot of space and had far-reaching repercussions, so that even ordinary people who don't care about technology the least can feel that a great change is accelerating.

Prior to this, the supercapacitor of Xingchen Technology was just a rumor discussed within the technology circle. Now that the dust has settled, everyone is shocked by Xingchen Technology and the greatness of China as a whole.

The New York Times published a special feature on the front page, "After the charging pile project, Huaxia made another heavy hand and invested in the construction of a national energy storage center."

This article by the New York Times is still very professional, and a big cow scholar from Caltech was specially invited to write it.

From his professional point of view, the scholar analyzed how far-reaching the impact of China's completion of the popularization of charging piles within three years and the large-scale construction of energy storage centers this time will be on the future.

For any country, energy is a big problem. Huaxia itself does not produce much crude oil and relies on purchasing it from abroad. Once the new energy plan is completed in a few years, they will completely get rid of their dependence on foreign energy.

As a North American, the Caltech scholar gloated and pointed out that Russia may suffer, because it won’t take long for China to reduce or even completely stop buying crude oil from Russia. Russia’s Ural brand crude oil has very high sulfur content, which is far less Middle East and North Sea Brent.

In addition, the scholar also expressed his envy for China's ability to turn to new energy construction in an all-round way. He believes that with the power of China's infrastructure madman, they are likely to become the first country on earth to turn to new energy in an all-round way, bringing the world far away. far behind.

In fact, there are still some countries on the earth that have achieved clean energy coverage, but they are all small countries, and none of the major powers that are truly globally competitive has been able to do so.

After all, this article is written by a scholar, and it seems to be relatively easy to read, but other North American media are not so polite.

Whether it is the Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, Washington Post, or TV organizations such as ABC, CNN, and FOX, they are all seizing the opportunity to play up the China threat theory.

In Europe, the British Financial Times article is also more polite. They have recently left the European Union, and the UK, which has lost the entire European market, is doing its best to seek support from China.

Therefore, the Financial Times is very cautious, analyzing the prospects of new energy in China, and said that, as the oldest capitalist empire on the planet, the British authorities should start negotiations with China as soon as possible to seize the opportunities that belong to the future.

As expected of an old fox, the British still have a very keen sense of smell. What they sense is an opportunity. If they want to make money, it is best to cooperate with Huaxia in the future.

It's a pity that there are only a few voices like this in the world.

Most of the media, like the North American mainstream, regarded China's new energy strategy as a huge threat and attacked it in groups.

Especially the two major German media, Bild and Der Spiegel.

They not only belittled supercapacitors, but also announced a gossip that the deep-sea energy storage technology jointly owned by Siemens and Rheinland Group will also be launched in the near future to compete with the supercapacitor technology of Star Technology.
