Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 298: We Need Your Help

Resting at home until New Year's Day 15, the Ark boat accompanied Xiaotong on his return journey to school.

After a few hours of running, the Harmony finally entered Jinling Station.

After getting off the highway, the ark was supposed to take the subway to school, but before it got out of the highway station, Tang called.

“Where have you been? ”

Ark: “At the station, prepare to transfer to the subway. What's wrong? ”

Old Tang smiled and said, "Don't turn the subway, just come out. ”

"You're not picking me up, are you? It's a few steps away from the subway, how embarrassing. ”

“Ha, you got something else to be ashamed of?” Old Tang smiled and said, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. Whatever you're sorry, keep that to Xu Academician. I'm not that big of a face to embarrass you. ”

Heard Xu Academician, the ark had an accident.

Jinling University only has one Xu Academician, and that is Principal Xu of Jinda. Principal Kim picked him up personally. Although he is no longer flattered, there have been many accidents.

After a half-day of reflection, the Ark did not remember what it had done recently.

That lithium-crystal paper on Nature was six months ago.

Looks like there's something really going on this time.

……

Without keeping the professors waiting, the ark took Xiaotong out of the highway station.

At the main entrance, only two black commercial cars were seen parked there before and after. Even if it's not the right license plate number, it's definitely not a mistake.

The reception line was a little bit forced, Xiaotong poked my brother's arm nervously, whispered, "Dude, who are these people? ”

The Ark simply replied, "Your principal, you don't know anyone else. ”

Xiaotong: “Ohhhhh... ah?! ”

The two men were talking, the door opened, Xu Academicians and Professor Tang got out of the car and greeted the ark with a smile.

“Professor Lu, it's kind of waiting for you. ”

Holding Xu Academician's hand, the Ark laughed and said: "It's been a long time since you've waited. Don't come. ”

“Don't be unharmed," Xu Academician laughed, pausing for a moment, looking at Xiaotong, shrunk behind the ark, said in a friendly tone, "Lu Xiaotong, I have something to talk to your brother, or should I let Teacher Hou send you to school? ”

Teacher Hou is probably the driver of the car in the back. He should not be a professor, he is an administrator, the level is unknown.

Apparently, the school knew that his sister was going back to school in addition to the ark, so it sent two cars. Such enthusiasm makes the Ark even more certain that the alma mater is in trouble with itself.

As for Xiaotong, this is a bit of an obscenity for everyone.

Though she knew her brother was awesome, she didn't expect the headmaster to remember the name of one of her students.

After a subconscious glance at the ark, he nodded and Xiaotong dragged his suitcase to the back of the car.

A pedestrian got in the car, the ark and Xu Academician sat in the back row, and when the car started on the highway, he asked.

“Academician Xu, can you give me the bottom line? What the hell is going on? ”

“It's not really a big deal," Xu Yan continued after a moment of pause, "just a month ago, the Ministry of Science and Technology of China jointly launched a research and development support programme for new energy technologies, establishing a series of development directions from photovoltaic technology to next-generation battery technology. In response to the call of the National Energy Development Strategy and the 13th Five-Year Plan Outline, we, Kim Dae, are also relentlessly raising the flag. ”

“The City Council is also very supportive of the decision to go to Beijing and intends to build a high-tech development park along the metro line in Jinling University City, integrating the talent resources of Jinling universities and universities. The leaders in Shanghai attached great importance to the matter and deliberately sent a working group down. ”

“The head of the working group is an expert at the Department of Energy, and I hear you're going back to Princeton after the year, and he's specifically placed the first stop of your work trip with you. ”

Xu Academician looked at the ark and smiled kindly.

And after listening, the ark reacted.

Isn't Nima a big deal?

And he spat in his heart, and he said, "Did he ever say what he saw me for? ”

Xu said with a smile, “I don't know exactly. But I assure you, it's a good thing. ”

……

Xu Academician's words, of course, the Ark believed.

When the walkers returned to school, in an office in the Institute's teaching and research building, the ark met with the Le Monde and an unexpected man.

In Boston, they met.

“Professor Lu, we meet again.” Looking at the ark with a smile on his face, Lu Kaimin extended his right hand.

Lu Zhou shook his hand with a smile and said: "Hello, Director Lu. ”

While in Boston, Lu Lao had visited him in his private capacity and asked for his views on the direction of lithium battery technology development.

Although Lu Lao visited as a princess this time and was still in the country, he did not show much official authority.

Whether it is his true character and kindness, or his respect for an internationally renowned scholar and his ability to set aside his stature and treat a young man in his twenties equally, it is enough to prove that his temperament is not a lifetime of waiting.

“Don't call me Director, call me Mr. Lu,” he said with a smile. "I was going to visit you in Jiangling, but there are still a lot of arrangements on the Working Group's side that I can't walk away from. So I can only ask you to come to Jinling, and I hope Professor Lu will not see you outside. ”

The ark smiled and smiled: “Where, I just wanted to come to my alma mater. ”

Old Lu nodded, paused for a moment, put on some serious expression and looked at the ark and said seriously: “After I spoke to you last time in Boston, I returned to Shangjing and the leaders of the higher ministries to reflect on your opinion. After the expert group's research discussions, we concluded that lithium-sulfur batteries were indeed the most suitable option. ”

The Ark was not surprised by China's decision.

Lithium-sulfur batteries are undoubtedly more realistic than lithium-sulfur batteries. By setting such broad directions by the State, it means that more funds can be channelled into this area, rather than being wasted on topics that have no relevance other than the publication of Nature and Science.

Of course, the Ark does not naively believe that its own opinions really dictate national decision-making. The only thing that matters is that I voted for a lithium-sulfur battery for what I said in Boston.

And he was happy to see that his vote worked.

"Lithium-sulfur batteries are a promising direction, and it's good to see countries making the right choices. ”

“Thanks also to Professor Lu's point,” Lu Lao smiled and paused for a moment, saying his intention to come, "Actually, I came to visit you this time, mainly to ask for your help. ”

Ark: “Help? ”

“Yes," Lu Lao nodded seriously, continuing, "energy development is a top priority in China's industrial production. In order to manufacture the 2025 plan in Shihua, we need batteries with higher energy storage performance, which are best able to achieve low production cost, simple production process and high number of recyclable uses. ”

“The prevailing feedback from industry, however, is that there are still many theoretical challenges to be solved in order to produce such batteries. Otherwise, neither safety nor recyclability can be effectively guaranteed. ”

“While we are not superior, we cannot leave it to others to build patent barriers on platforms of international trade and to build bridgeheads to snipe our new energy strategy. ”

“You are an expert in this area," said Lu Lao sincerely, "we need your help! ”
