Technological Supremacy Chapter 81: Stars Issue 2
Luo Jia wrote this 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 erupted.
It turns out that Luo Jia's plan A is to make all-solid-state batteries!
What is an all-solid-state battery?
Simply put, it is to use a solid electrolyte instead of an unstable electrolyte.
All-solid-state batteries have many benefits, otherwise Luo Jia would not take it as the company's primary 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 potential 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. , the Super 500 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 attack the US National Laboratory, but it is not for nothing that the most tough guy in the world of science and technology is given.
After a brief silence, the meeting room erupted with crazy shouts from the straight men of steel.
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 team has become very busy again. While the photoresist project has not been completed, it has also 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 batteries. .
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 Xingchen 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 not yet known, 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, which was 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, and printed a full 160,000 copies to barely meet 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 purchasers 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 48 US dollars. Visa or MasterCard pay by credit card.
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 so excited that they were going crazy. They never dreamed that the Star Journal would become a big business.
Now when it comes to the pure Chinese journal Xingchen, there is no one in the global academic community who is not unaware of it. Its popularity is completely comparable to that of such old academic journals as Nature and Cell.
The birth of the Star Journal has had a great impact on the global academic community. Countless well-known scholars burst into tears. China finally has a top academic journal that is as famous 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. spend it.
Luo Jia didn't intend to make money from journals. He directly decided that once any academic paper was adopted by Xingchen, the manuscript fee would start at one million yuan, and there would be 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 the stars into an aircraft carrier in the field of global academic journals, so he spares no expense in asking for manuscripts. translate to Chinese.
It is very troublesome to solicit manuscripts for journals. 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. 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 white-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, academics in developed countries Hegemony has been completely broken!"
...
Sweden, Stockholm.
After Mr. Sigurdson paid ninety-six dollars to purchase the electronic versions of the first issue of Stars and the second issue of Stars, he finally got peace of mind and no longer has to bear the conscience condemnation of reading pirated copies.
Day after day, Mr Sigurdsson sits 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 for a translated paper is like waiting for a novel update at ~IndoMTL.com~, only the process is more painful and lengthy.
The translation of the thesis 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 who has been tortured by translation problems. The global academic community is suffering from not knowing Chinese~IndoMTL.com~ and professors and scholars from China have been tortured by academics. The world regards them as honored guests, because only they can translate those magical Chinese 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.
At the end of the first day of the course, Gao Hexiang gave Mr. Sigurdsen a pair of brush calligraphy written by himself, which was an eloquent article, Preface to Tengwang Pavilion.
Mr. Sigurdsen was inexplicably astonished looking at those flamboyant and magical words, 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. Sigurdsson asked seriously.
Gao Hexiang laughed.
"Do you want to understand that the sunset and the solitary duck fly together, and the autumn water is the same as the sky? To understand the fishing boat singing at night, ringing on the shore of Peng Li, the geese frightened, and the sound breaking the Hengyang Pu?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Sigurdson, although you are a respectable old gentleman, I'm afraid you will never be able to read 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, 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 them. The beauty."
