Chapter 81: The Second Phase of the Stars
Luo Jia wrote this sentence on the whiteboard with an ink pen, "All solid electrolyte, high ionic conductivity, low electron conductivity."
The moment Luo Jia stopped writing, the conference room suddenly became boiling.
It turns out that Luo Jia’s plan is to make all-solid-state batteries!
What is an all-solid-state battery?
Simply put, it is to use solid electrolytes instead of unstable electrolytes.
All-solid-state batteries have many benefits, otherwise Luo Jia would not regard it as the company's primary plan.
If this project is implemented, the battery energy density will first increase by at least three times. In the past, if the phone is replaced with a full solid state battery, it will be charged once every three days.
Other features include thoroughly solving safety hazards, high cycle times, ultra-thin assembly, bendability, etc.
Currently, the main ones in making all-solid-state batteries are the national team. The US National Laboratory has a Super Five Hundred Plan, which will produce solid-state batteries with an energy density of more than 500wh per kilogram within three to five years. It is rumored that the Super Five 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 invested countless funds and experts, all wanting to become the overlord of the new energy field in the future.
Luo Jia used the size of Star Technology to attack the US National Laboratory, which was indeed a bit crazy, but the strongest group of people in the technology industry was not for nothing.
After a brief silence, the wild shouts of straight steel men erupted in the conference room.
There will always be difficulties, don’t be cowardly, just do it!
......
In October, after Xingchen Technology finished its display project, it officially entered the field of energy storage batteries.
The hardware army has become very busy again. Before the photoresist project is completed, it also starts dual-line operations in the battery field at the same time. A plans to focus on the next generation of all-solid-state batteries, and b plans to improve the existing ternary lithium batteries.
Luo Jia's choice this time is very pragmatic. Like the LCD screen, ternary lithium batteries are technologies that have been on sale for a long time. It is much less difficult to improve the original technology than to recreate a revolutionary new product.
As long as any of the two solutions is successful, it will be enough to give Xingchen Technology the strength to challenge the overlord Panasonic.
Whether StarChen Technology's entry into the battery field will trigger a new energy storm is not known yet, but in the global academic community, this time it has really exploded.
In mid-October, the second issue of Star Journal was officially released, quickly sweeping across the world like a hurricane.
Due to insufficient preparations for the first issue of Xingchen, only 10,000 copies were printed, and it was snatched by the global academic community.
Sha Zhan and Gu Pengdong, who were in charge of this project, had to print twice urgently, and printed 160,000 copies to barely meet the needs of domestic and foreign research institutions and ordinary science enthusiasts.
An obscure academic journal actually sold 160,000 copies!
This is definitely a record, and based on the price of 48 yuan per book and the cost is less than 10 yuan, the publishing department achieved a profit of several million yuan in the current period...
A comprehensive academic journal not only does not lose money, but can also make millions a month, which is a small miracle.
Of course, not all buyers are trying to understand the papers. Many people simply support or collect them, and then put them away after buying them home.
Learning from the previous lessons, the Publishing Department made the second issue of Stars into two types: paper and electronic versions. The domestic price is still 48 yuan, while the overseas price is set at 48 US dollars, and it is accepted for payment by Visa or Mastercard credit card.
As a result, in the second issue of Xingchen, nearly 200,000 copies were sold. After the publishing department settled the accounts, the profit was as high as 15 million yuan!
Sha Zhan and Gu Pengdong were so excited that they were almost crazy. They never dreamed that Xingchen Journal would become a big business.
Now when it comes to the pure Chinese journal Xingchen, there is nothing that the global academic community does not know about. Its popularity is completely comparable to that of natural, cell, and old academic journals like this.
The emergence of Star Journal has had a great impact on the global academic community. Countless famous scholars were in tears. China finally has a top academic journal as famous as nature. This is the first time in history!
Sha Zhan and Luo Jia discussed it and decided to start soliciting first-class manuscripts from around the world in addition to calling for manuscripts within the company. Once adopted by Xingchen Journal, it would give the publisher a generous return, which would be equivalent to spending the money earned by Xingchen Journal.
Luo Jia did not intend to make money from journals, so he made a decision directly that once any academic paper is adopted by Xingchen, the manuscript fee will start with one million yuan, and the maximum will not be capped!
After the news came out, it immediately caused a huge sensation in the academic circle.
Friends who don’t know academic journals may not be very clear. Because the sales volume is too low, most of them have no manuscript fees for publishing papers in journals. Instead, they have to pay the page fee based on the amount of the page occupied and pay the money to the publisher.
Luo Jia is now determined to build Xingchen into an aircraft carrier in the global academic journal field, so he spares no expense to make an appointment for a manuscript. The Chinese academic community can publish it, and overseas visitors are also rejected. The only condition is that you have to translate the paper into Chinese.
Calling for journals is a very troublesome thing. All the documents need to be reviewed. If plagiarized works are published, they will directly affect the reputation of the journal.
Fortunately, Shazhan has many friends in the academic circle. He found many well-known domestic scholars and formed a joint review team. All submissions require three reviews before they can be approved by the review team to be published in Xingchen Journal.
Although this will lead to a double workload of the review team, scholars have no complaints about this.
After all, this is the first academic journal in China that is truly ranked among the world's top, and it is a pure Chinese version. The meaning of the stars is equivalent to detonating a nuclear bomb in the global academic community!
At a high-level academic seminar held in Beijing, an old man with gray hair, holding a Star Magazine with a cover of the galaxy panorama, declared in a trembling voice, "From now on, the academic hegemony of developed countries has been completely broken!"
......
Stockholm, Sweden.
After paying ninety-six dollars to purchase the electronic version of Star Issue No. and Star II issue, Mr. Sigoodson finally calmed down and no longer had to bear the condemnation of reading pirated copies.
Day after day, Mr. Sigoodson sat in front of the computer, looking forward to the release of the translation of the paper.
After all, Xingchen is a Chinese journal, and Mr. Sigurdson could not understand the square characters at all. He was anxious and annoyed that he chose French instead of Chinese when he was young.
Waiting to read the translated paper is like waiting for the novel to be updated, but the process is more painful and long.
The translation of the paper should be very rigorous, involving a large number of professional terms, and the progress is slow.
Whenever a paper is translated, Mr. Sigoodson is always excited for a while, and then there is a long wait.
For two months, Mr. Sigoodson has been tortured by translation problems, and the academic community around the world is suffering from not understanding Chinese.
Professors and scholars from China are regarded as guests of honor by the academic community because only they can translate those magical cube characters.
Mr. Sigoudson is already in his sixties, but he still resolutely signed up for the Chinese training.
His teacher is an engineer named Gao Hexiang.
Since Geely Auto acquired Swedish Volvo Cars, engineer Gao has come to Stockholm from China, where he can speak fluent English and Swedish.
When the first day of the course ended, Gao Hexiang gave Mr. Xiguderson a calligraphy handwritten by himself, a large number of chapters, prefaces to the Tengwang Pavilion.
Mr. Sigurdson was inexplicably surprised when he looked at the magical words of flying dragons and phoenixes, as if this article contained some powerful power.
"Mr. Gao, when will I understand this Chinese character?" Mr. Sigoudson asked seriously.
Gao Hexiang laughed.
"Do you want to understand the setting sun and the lone wild goose flying together, the autumn water and the sky are the same color? Do you understand the fishing boat singing in the evening, the sound is endless in the shore of Pengli, the geese are shocked by the cold, and the sound is broken in Hengyang?"
"Sorry, Mr. Sigoudson, although you are a respectable old gentleman, you may never be able to read it."
"Why?" Mr. Sigurdson was puzzled, and at the same time, the stubbornness in his heart began to attack again. "I have been hailed as a genius in language since I was a child. I am proficient in Swedish, English, French, Spanish and Latin. I have time and I can study your Chinese hard."
