Technological Hegemony

Luo Jia wrote the following sentence on the whiteboard with an ink pen, "All solid electrolyte, high ionic conductivity, low electronic conductivity."

The moment Luo Jia stopped writing, the meeting room suddenly boiled.

It turns out that Luo Jia's plan A is to make all-solid-state batteries!

What is an all-solid-state battery?

In simple terms, solid electrolytes are used instead of unstable electrolytes.

All-solid-state batteries have many benefits, otherwise Luo Jia would not take it as the company's top plan.

If this project is realized, the energy density of the battery will increase by at least three times. In the past, the mobile phone was charged once a day, but if it is replaced with an all-solid-state battery, it can be charged once every three days.

Other features include completely solving safety hazards, high cycle times, ultra-thin assembly, bendable and so on.

At present, it is mainly the national team that is making all-solid-state batteries. The US National Laboratory has a Super 500 plan to manufacture solid-state batteries with an energy density of more than 500WH per kilogram within three to five years. According to rumors, the Super Five The hundred plan is about to enter the final stage.

Neon, South Korea, and Germany also have corresponding research. Considering the importance of batteries to the development of science and technology, they have invested countless funds and experts, and they all want to become the overlord in the field of new energy in the future.

It is indeed a bit crazy for Luo Jia to use the size of Xingchen Technology to go to the US National Laboratory, but it is not for nothing that the most tough guy in the technology world is given.

After a brief silence, the straight men of steel erupted into crazy shouts in the conference room.

There will always be difficulties, don't be cowardly, just do it!

 …

In October, Star Technology officially entered the field of energy storage batteries after finishing the display project.

The hardware army has become very busy again. While the photoresist project has not been completed, it has started a two-line battle in the battery field. Plan A focuses on the next generation of all-solid-state batteries, and Plan B improves the existing ternary lithium battery.

Luo Jia's choice this time is very pragmatic. Like LCD screens, ternary lithium batteries are technologies that have been available for a long time. It is far less difficult to improve the original technology than to create a revolutionary new product.

As long as any one of the two plans is successful, it will be enough for Star Technology to have the strength to challenge the overlord Panasonic.

Whether Xingchen Technology's entry into the battery field will trigger a new energy storm is still unknown, but in the global academic community, this time it really exploded.

In mid-October, the second issue of Star Journal was officially released, and it quickly swept the entire world like a hurricane.

Due to insufficient preparation, only 10,000 copies of the inaugural issue of Xingchen were printed and were snapped up by the academic circles all over the world.

Sha Zhan and Gu Pengdong, who were in charge of this project, had to reprint twice urgently, printing a full 160,000 copies, barely meeting the needs of domestic and foreign research institutions and ordinary science enthusiasts.

An obscure academic journal has sold 160,000 copies!

This is definitely a record, and based on the price of 48 yuan per copy, the cost is less than 10 yuan, and the publishing department has achieved a profit of several million yuan in the current period...

It is a small miracle that a comprehensive academic journal not only does not lose money, but also earns millions every month.

Of course, not all buyers want to understand the papers inside. Many people just hold the attitude of support or collection, and put them on the shelf after they buy them home.

Having learned the previous lessons, the Publishing Department made the second issue of Stars into paper version and electronic version. The domestic price is still 48 yuan, and the overseas price is set at 48 US dollars. Visa or MasterCard credit cards are accepted for payment.

As a result, the second issue of Stars sold nearly 200,000 copies, and the publishing department made a profit of 15 million yuan!

Sha Zhan and Gu Pengdong were almost crazy with excitement. They never dreamed that Star Journal would become a big business.

Now mention the pure Chinese journal Xingchen,

The global academic community is well-known, and its popularity is completely comparable to that of nature, cells, and other established academic journals.

The birth of the Star Journal has had a huge impact on the global academic community. Countless well-known scholars burst into tears. China finally has a top academic journal with the same reputation as nature. This is the first time in history!

After discussing with Luo Jia, Sha Zhan and Luo Jia decided that in addition to soliciting manuscripts within the company, they would start to collect first-class manuscripts from all over the world. Once they were adopted by Star Journal, the contributors would be rewarded generously, which was equivalent to spending the money earned by Star Journal.

Luo Jia didn't intend to make money from journals, he directly made a decision that once any academic paper was adopted by Xingchen, the manuscript fee would start at one million yuan, with no ceiling!

After the news came out, it immediately caused a huge sensation in the academic circle.

Friends who are not familiar with academic journals may not be very clear. Due to the low sales volume, most of the papers published in journals do not have manuscript fees.

Luo Jia is now determined to make Xingchen an aircraft carrier in the field of global academic journals, so he spares no expense in requesting manuscripts, and the academic circles in China can publish them, and anyone from abroad is also welcome. The only condition is that you have to translate the paper into Chinese .

It is very troublesome to solicit manuscripts for journals, and all submissions need to be reviewed. If plagiarized works are published, it will directly affect the reputation of the journal.

Fortunately, Sha Zhan has a lot of friends in the academic world. He recruited many well-known domestic scholars to form a joint review team. All submissions need to be reviewed three times before and after, and finally the review team will pass unanimously before they can be published in Star Journal.

Although this will double the workload of the review team, scholars have no complaints about it.

After all, this is Huaxia's first academic journal that truly ranks among the top in the world, and it is also a pure Chinese version. The meaning of stars is equivalent to detonating a nuclear bomb in the global academic community!

At a high-level academic seminar held in Beijing, a gray-haired old man held up a star magazine with a panorama of the Milky Way on the cover, and declared in a trembling voice, "From now on, the academic hegemony of developed countries will be ruled by others." Completely broken!"

 …

Sweden, Stockholm.

After Mr. Sigurdson paid ninety-six dollars to purchase the electronic versions of the first issue of the Stars and the second issue of the Stars, he finally found peace of mind and no longer had to bear the conscience condemnation of reading pirated copies.

Day after day, Mr. Sigurdsson sat in front of his computer, waiting for the translation of the paper to come out.

After all, Xingchen is an all-Chinese journal, and Mr. Sigurdsson couldn't understand those square characters at all. He was anxious and angry because of this, and regretted why he chose French instead of Chinese when he was young.

Waiting to read a translated paper is like reading a book in UU and waiting for a novel update, but the process is more painful and lengthy.

Thesis translation must be very rigorous, involving a lot of technical terms, and the progress is slow.

Whenever a thesis is translated, Mr. Sigurdsson is always excited for a while, followed by a long wait.

In the past two months, Mr. Sigurdsson is not the only one suffering from translation problems. The global academic community is suffering from not knowing Chinese.

The professors and scholars from Huaxia are considered honored guests by the academic circles, because only they can translate those magical square characters.

Mr. Sigurdsson is over 60 years old, but he still resolutely signed up for Chinese training.

His teacher was an engineer named Gao Hexiang.

Since Geely Automobile acquired Volvo Cars in Sweden, the senior engineer came to Stockholm from China. He can speak fluent English and Swedish.

When the first day of the course was over, Gao Hexiang gave Mr. Sigurdsen a pair of brush calligraphy written by himself, which was a large article, Preface to Tengwang Pavilion.

Mr. Sigurdsson looked at those flamboyant and magical words and felt inexplicably surprised, as if there was some kind of powerful power contained in this article.

"Mr. Gao, when will I be able to understand this Chinese character?" Mr. Sigurdson asked seriously.

Gao Hexiang laughed.

"Do you want to understand that the sunset and the solitary duck fly together, and the autumn waters share the same color in the sky? Understand that the fishing boat sings at night, ringing on the shore of Peng Li, the frightened geese, and breaking the Hengyang Pu?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sigurdsson, although you are a respectable old gentleman, I'm afraid you will never be able to understand it."

"Why?" Mr. Sigurdsson was puzzled, and at the same time the stubbornness in his chest that refused to admit defeat began to break out again, "I have been hailed as a genius in languages ​​since I was a child. I am proficient in Swedish, English, French, Spanish and Latin. I have time, and I can work hard to learn your Chinese."

"It's different." Gao Hexiang shook his head, "This is not only a language, but also an ancient culture. In this world, only those of us who were born in China and grew up in China can understand their beauty. "
