Technological Hegemony

? North America, Loews Laboratories.

Dr. Jones was in a daze in his office, looking out the window at the endless wilderness, and did not speak for a long while.

He had heard rumors a long time ago that Xingchen Technology had produced an energy storage supercapacitor, but he was still unwilling to believe it. Until today, when the news was hammered and the major media reported this matter, he had to admit painfully that Huaxia Once again man was ahead of himself.

There is a strong correlation between battery technology and energy storage capacitor technology, so the elites of Ross Labs and Bell Labs, in addition to implementing the Super 500 plan, also launched research on energy storage capacitors.

The current situation is that Stellar Technology is leading in the two research directions of batteries and capacitors. When the research of Ross Laboratory was still in the prototype stage, Stellar Technology's batteries and capacitors had already begun mass production.

Not long after, Dr. Jerryn from Bell Labs also came to his office.

"I really can't believe that we lost to those Chinese people." Dr. Jones complained to Jay Ryan in pain: "Did those Chinese people learn alchemy? Why, why did they conquer the battery and Super capacitor?"

"How do I know?" Jerry shrugged, "To be precise, they achieved three major scientific research achievements in battery, electronic control, and supercapacitor within a year, and they also designed a special Lifting platform ships for installation of offshore wind turbines."

Dr. Jones' face turned green when he heard what his old friend said. Indeed, the achievements of Xingchen Technology are not only batteries and capacitors, they have also made amazing progress in other fields.

"Look at this."

Dr. Jerryn said, and put an English version of the German Bild newspaper on the table.

Dr. Jones picked up the newspaper and saw the report of Siemens and RWE's decision to conduct large-scale deep-sea energy storage experiments.

"I know this invention." Dr. Jones said, "The German technology is very powerful. Their deep-sea energy storage technology uses super-large concrete balls, which are cheap and durable, and are easy to mass-produce. The only difference is the energy storage cost. , which is higher than the supercapacitor of Star Technology.”

Jerry En nodded, "In general, these two energy storage technologies have their own winners and losers. The high-density carbon materials used in supercapacitors are very complicated."

"The advantage of deep-sea energy storage is its low cost. After all, super-large concrete balls are manufactured, and then compressors and generators are installed on the concrete balls.

Connecting submarine cables is much simpler than building a supercapacitor energy storage center. "

Dr. Jones asked puzzledly, "Why did you tell me this?"

Jay Ryan became excited, "Because we are going to Germany soon, Siemens invited us to participate in the experiment, and after the experiment is over, maybe something big will happen."

 …

Malaysia, Penang.

Southeast Asia in October is still hot and frighteningly hot. Luo Jia walked out of the airport, took a look at the scorching sunshine outside, opened his suitcase, took off his hooded sweater, wore only a T-shirt, and took out his sunglasses and visor.

In addition to his parents, there are also some colleagues from the company who came here with Luo Jia. The number is not too many, about fifty or sixty people.

After the hardware department completed the capacitor project, they had a one-week holiday. Some colleagues returned to their hometowns, and some traveled around the world under the arrangement of the administration department.

Luo Jia came to Malaysia mainly to accompany his parents.

After all, such things as filial piety must be done by oneself. Although Luo Jia can arrange the most expensive travel agency in the world for his parents, even the best treatment in the world is not as good as being able to be with his parents as a son.

Comrade Luo Ning wanted to see Malaysia a long time ago, and he has been chatting with Luo Jia for a long time.

He read an article on the Internet, which said that the Malay Chinese are the most traditional group outside the country. They still speak Chinese, eat Chinese food, and most of their children choose independent middle schools for school. Therefore, Comrade Luo Ning has a great deal of affection for the millions of Chinese living in Malaysia. Strong curiosity.

Luo Jia does not doubt the authenticity of the article. He likes to read the wonderful story. Malay debaters like Hu Jianbiao and Yan Rujing left a deep impression on him. If you don’t know their nationality, you can’t guess that they are foreigners. Well said.

Moreover, during the Anti-Japanese War, the Nanyang Chinese contributed money and efforts, and made great contributions. Anyone who has read history a little bit knows this.

After waiting for a while, the scheduled bus came to pick up the airport, and everyone boarded the bus and headed to the hotel.

An Ran and Luo Jia sat together. From the moment he landed, he kept swiping his phone, sending emails to colleagues who stayed at the headquarters, and arranging work tasks.

He was forcibly pulled here by Luo Jia, a workaholic who had never enjoyed the free vacation benefits provided by the company, so Luo Jia forced An Ran to travel with him, and An Ran was very angry about this.

"Please, we are on vacation, can you look like a vacation?" Luo Jia nudged An Ran, "Look, Zhang Dongning's little girlfriend is not bad, right? I have been watching her all the way, this girl's It seemed that only Lao Zhang was in his eyes. When we passed the customs just now, the two separated for a while, and she was so anxious that she stood at the exit of the customs and looked inside on tiptoe."

An Ran looked back at Zhang Dongning and his girlfriend. She was a young and quiet girl, sitting on the seat with Zhang Dongning on her arm, as if she was afraid that Zhang Dongning would throw her down.

It can be seen that she is very dependent on Zhang Dongning.

"Tch, this couple is so boring." An Ran said.

Luo Jia was speechless, as a generation of geniuses, An Ran was good at everything, but she was not very enlightened in terms of emotions.

Of course, Luo Jia is actually not qualified to educate him, two single dogs, no one is better than the other.

In the next few days, Luo Jia hired a car and took his parents on a tour nearby.

Penang is an island. Not far from the island are Taiping, Hefeng, Yibao, Linglong, Jinbao, and Metro. You can tell by the names. These place names are all Chinese.

The guide is right, as long as you find the right place, it’s as if you haven’t gone abroad at all. The shop signs are all in Chinese characters, you don’t need to translate the words, and the food is also appetizing.

This feeling is quite strange. Although I hold two completely different passports, I always feel very close. I hope these overseas Chinese can live better and better.

An Ran didn't even take a step out of the hotel until the night before leaving. He hugged his laptop all day long and went to the hotel restaurant for dinner.

It was time to return to China tomorrow, Luo Jia pulled An Ran to the rooftop of the hotel, had a drink with him, originally he wanted to call Zhang Dongning, but the couple didn't know where they went.

Zhang Dongning is also a busy person in the company. Although he has a girlfriend, he is still the first person to come to the laboratory in the morning and the last to leave at night. He has a strong sense of responsibility. It is rare to relax for a few days this time, so let's not bother them .

Luo Jia told An Ran about the experience of the past few days, and An Ran nodded after listening, "So, it's better if the country is strong, if these Chinese can't get along one day, at least there is a place to take them in. "

The conversation suddenly changed, and An Ran said seriously, "Have you read the news today? The Germans' large-scale deep-sea energy storage experiment has initially succeeded."

Luo Jia nodded, "Well, I saw it, and I also noticed that Siemens' old enemy, Danish Vitas, also participated in the experiment. In addition, they also invited many well-known scholars and experts, making a big noise. "

"Then you have no idea?" An Ran asked.

Luo Jia smiled, "Of course there is an idea. Siemens and Vitas are the number one and number two in the field of wind power. Now the number one and number two are united. In addition to the deep sea energy storage of Rheinland Group, they have mastered the A complete set of key technologies in the field of green energy."

"And we are just catching up. Although we have installation ships and supercapacitors, we are still short of the most important part of the whole plan, wind turbines."

"Siemens and Vitas' suspension technology, aeroelastic technology, lightning protection technology, high-voltage AC HAVC technology, wind measurement technology, etc., anyway, it is still very difficult to break the monopoly of these two giant companies on wind turbines Yes, they are even ahead of us in terms of corrosion-resistant materials.”

An Ran stretched her arms, stretched her waist and said, "That's why you brought me on vacation, because once we get back to the company, our hardware department will be busy."

Luo Jia said frankly: "Yes, next, the hardware department will be in full speed mode."
