From university academician to chief academician

Fujian Province, ND City!

CATL New Energy Technology Co., Ltd.!

CATL is the best power battery company in Xiaguo. In the ranking of global power battery companies, CATL has ranked first in the world for six consecutive years.

Because of CATL’s position in the battery field, it is also called King Ning.

In the field of batteries, CATL is the king.

The so-called power battery refers to the power source that provides power for tools, mostly refers to the battery that provides power for electric cars, electric trains, electric bicycles, and golf carts.

Office of the Chairman!

The chairman was sitting in his office chair. After listening to his assistant’s report on the lithium battery separator developed by the Fullerene Research Institute, he said, “Get out!”

"Okay, Chairman!"

The assistant walked out after speaking.

After the assistant went out, the chairman's right index finger and middle finger tapped slowly and rhythmically on the table.

After a moment, the chairman smiled and said: "We in Xia State have finally developed a lithium battery separator, and its performance is actually the best in the world."

"I also studied it back then, but I didn't succeed for a few years, and then I gave up."

The chairman of CATL is a Ph.D. from the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and has personally participated in and presided over twelve patented inventions.

The electric vehicle battery, a key breakthrough project in key areas in Guangdong and Hong Kong that he presided over, won the Wandu Chang Award and has been commercialized.

He is a professional in the battery field and started his own business after mastering the technology from a scholar.

The chairman shook his head and smiled: "I didn't expect it to be successful now. I don't know who developed it. I really want to meet him."

After speaking, he picked up the landline phone on the table and said: "Check for me, the lithium battery separator developed by the Fullerene Research Institute, a subsidiary of the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute, and see who developed it."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and thought: "The development of lithium battery separators means that our country does not have any technical difficulties in the field of lithium batteries."

“All four core material manufacturing technologies are mastered.”

"Judging from the cooperation between Enjie and the Fullerene Research Institute, the above-mentioned intention is to reduce the price of lithium batteries."

"In recent years, the policies communicated above have all promoted the development of the new energy field."

"Now that the price of lithium batteries has dropped, the new energy field will develop rapidly."

Lithium batteries have a very special position among all batteries.

Lithium batteries can be combined with many batteries, such as ternary lithium batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries, and lithium cobalt oxide batteries.

These three types of batteries are collectively called power lithium batteries.

Among all lithium batteries, ternary lithium batteries are the most durable and are widely used in electric vehicles.

"Therefore, our company should also keep up with the pace. Next, we should purchase large quantities of lithium battery separators from Enjie Co., Ltd. and vigorously develop power lithium batteries."

"Also, the price of the power lithium batteries developed will also drop."

"After all, the price of lithium battery separators is only 50,000 per ton. As the cost drops, the price will naturally drop as well."

In fact, in the past few years, among the four core materials of lithium batteries.

In addition to lithium battery separators, the prices of the other three core materials have been kept very low.

However, because most of the lithium battery separators are imported from abroad, the price remains high.

This results in high cost of making lithium batteries, and naturally the selling price of lithium batteries is also high.

Now, the price of lithium battery separators is also being lowered.

Then the cost of manufacturing lithium batteries will be lower, and naturally the selling price of lithium batteries will also become lower.

The price of lithium batteries is low, and the prices of equipment that mainly consume electricity, such as new energy vehicles and battery cars, will naturally drop in price.

However, Xiaguo's new energy market has not changed yet.

The first thing to change is the overseas market.

Xia Guo is the world's largest new energy market and battery market.

Xia Guo's every move affects changes in the global market.

When the Fullerene Research Institute developed a lithium battery separator, the news spread that its performance was the best in the world.

The stocks of Beiliguo and Dongyingguo, two countries that make a lot of money from Xiaguo every year through lithium battery separators, fell rapidly the next day.

Hyndson New Energy Company, conference room!

Hydson New Energy Company is the world's number one company in the field of lithium battery separators and the number one company in North Korea.

At this moment, all the directors were gathered in the conference room, looking at the display showing the increase in their company's stocks.

I saw the stock price of my company falling all the way. When the market first opened, it was US$53 per share. In just half a day, it fell to US$41 per share.

In half a day, the company's market value evaporated by more than US$2 billion.

You know, the company's total market value is only 13 billion US dollars.

All the directors who saw this almost had a heart attack.

After a long time, the CEO turned to face all the directors and said: "Everyone, in times of crisis, we cannot let the market value drop like this. We should find a remedy."

One director said sadly: "But what can we do? Xia Guo has developed a lithium battery separator with the best performance in the world."

"This means that Xia Guo no longer needs our company's lithium battery separators."

"When stock investors see this phenomenon, they will definitely sell their stocks."

"Moreover, our company now has a big crisis. Xiaguo is the world's largest lithium battery separator market."

"Half of our company's orders come from Xia Guo."

"Now that Xia Guo has its own lithium battery separator, it no longer needs our lithium battery separator. Our company's lithium battery separator will cut off half of its orders."

"I know that." The CEO said, "But now we need to stabilize the company's stock price first, and then consider the order."

The other directors nodded, this is the truth, things must be done step by step.

It doesn’t matter even if the lithium battery separator business loses the Xiaguo market. They still have half of the global orders and other business areas.

But stocks are the biggest crisis right now.

If not handled properly, the company's market value may fall below $10 billion.

The CEO said: "We now need to stabilize the confidence of investors and prevent them from selling our company's stocks."

Another director said: "We can say to the outside world that we also have the world's best lithium battery separator."

"You can make up a data and throw it out, so that investors will think that the performance of the lithium battery separator developed by Xia Guo Fullerene Research Institute is not the best in the world, and Xia Guo still needs our lithium battery separator."

"At the same time, we announced that we will reduce the price of lithium battery separators to RMB 50,000 per ton."

"Of course, this method can only stabilize investors and prevent the company's stock from falling too badly."

"After all, Xia State really doesn't need our lithium battery separators now."

The CEO nodded and said, "Okay, that's it."

"What we want is to stabilize shareholders and stabilize the company's market value."

An hour later, Hyndson New Energy Company released data on a lithium battery separator, which was even better than the lithium battery separator developed by the Fullerene Research Institute.

Coincidentally, Panasonic's new energy company in Japan also made the same decision as Hyndson New Energy Company.

This made many investors dumbfounded. What, you are singing a double act, one singing and one harmonizing.

But the effect was indeed good. After many investors saw the news from these two companies, some investors stopped selling their stocks.

The international market is over, and next is the Xiaguo market.

After Enjie announced that it had obtained the lithium battery separator developed by the Fullerene Research Institute.

On the second day, Enjie shares rose rapidly.

From US$43 to US$56, the market value increased by US$2 billion in one day.

The market value has risen from just over US$3 billion to US$5 billion.

This made Enjie's directors crazy with excitement.

They were very lucky. Fortunately, the chairman at that time obtained the lithium battery separator technology from the Fullerene Research Institute.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be making so much now.

Xu Li's office!

The assistant came in and reported: "The chairman, Hyndson Company and Panasonic New Energy Company, said to the outside world that their lithium battery separator performance is better than ours, and they have lowered the price to 50,000 yuan per ton."

Xu Li shook his head and sneered: "They are just struggling to their death. If there is a better lithium battery separator, there will definitely be news."

"But I've never heard of them having such a good lithium battery separator in the past."

Xu Li naturally didn't believe what these two companies said to the outside world. He was also in the lithium battery field.

We know a lot about the big and small news about international lithium battery companies.

Hydson and Panasonic New Energy, these two companies, one is the No. 1 lithium battery separator company in Beili, and the other is the No. 1 lithium battery separator company in Japan.

At the same time, they are also the top two companies in the world in the field of lithium battery separators.

For these two companies, Xu Li is focusing on them.

If they have good lithium battery separators, Xu Li believes he can catch some news.

However, he had never heard of good lithium battery separators from these two companies in the past.

Therefore, Xu Li was sure that the words released by these two companies were false.

"Chairman, many lithium battery companies have signed orders for lithium battery separators with our company. Since the company announced yesterday that it has obtained the lithium battery separator from the Fullerene Research Institute, thirty companies have signed orders with our company. ”

"Yes!" Xu Li nodded and said, "Is there any signature in the Ningde era?"

CATL is the world's number one lithium battery company.

Signing an order with CATL will be the largest order among all lithium battery companies.

"Not yet!" The assistant shook his head.

Xu Li frowned slightly and said doubtfully: "That shouldn't be the case. With our company's current lithium battery separator technology and the price, CATL shouldn't not sign an order with our company!"

"Can he still find foreign companies?"

"The price of lithium battery separators from foreign companies is much higher than ours!"

“Wouldn’t buying lithium battery separators from foreign companies increase the cost?”

"Wait a minute, it's not that people from the Ningde era won't come, it's just that they haven't come yet."

After saying that, Xu Li looked at his assistant and said, "Okay, get out!"

The assistant heard this and walked out.

But a moment later, the assistant walked in again and said with a smile: "Chairman, someone from the Ningde era is here."

Xu Li cheered up, stood up and walked out, saying, "Come on, come with me to have a look."

A week later, CATL announced that the price of lithium batteries had dropped from 200,000 per ton to 150,000 per ton.

At the same time, CATL announced that it will increase the research and development and production of power batteries.

After Ningde Times announced the price reduction, all lithium battery companies in Xia Guo also reduced the price of lithium batteries.

Half a month later!

All new energy vehicle companies and battery vehicle companies in Xia Guo will reduce the prices of new energy vehicles and battery vehicles.

It's like the butterfly effect, because Ye Fei discovered C72 fullerene and developed a lithium battery separator.

And because of the lithium battery separator, Xia Guo has mastered all four core material manufacturing technologies in the field of lithium batteries.

First, the price of Xiaguo lithium battery separators dropped, which led to the global price of lithium battery separators also falling.

Then came the price cuts for all lithium batteries in Xia Guo, and finally the price cuts for new energy vehicles and battery vehicles.

Beiliguo National Institute of Nanotechnology!

Director's office!

Gor walked around anxiously in the office and shouted angrily: "The lithium battery separator must be developed by Ye Fei and others based on C72 fullerene, it must be."

"Harry, where's the C72 fullerene I asked you to get? Have you got it yet?"

"You can't get C72 fullerene, and I can't make C72 fullerene."

"Look at the current situation. In just a short time, C72 fullerene has developed the world's best lithium battery separator."

“If we wait a little longer, we don’t know what we will develop!”

Harry frowned and asked doubtfully: "Can fullerene develop a lithium battery separator?"

“Isn’t it true that fullerene cannot allow electrolyte electrons to pass through?”

"Could it be that it was not developed from C72 fullerene, but something else?"

"Impossible!" Gore shook his head and said, "I tell you with my manly intuition that this is definitely developed from C72 fullerene."

Harry said: "Okay, even if it is because of the lithium battery separator developed by C72 fullerene, how is it done?"

"You have to know that although fullerene cannot conduct electricity, it also cannot let electrolyte electrons pass through."

"How do I know." Gore sat on the chair opposite Gore and said irritably: "I have never come into contact with C72 fullerene. Maybe it is very special and can allow electrolyte electrons to pass through."

"Okay!" Harry said helplessly.

Gold said: "I still say the same thing, Harry, you have to get C72 fullerene as soon as possible. You can use some conventional means."

"What conventional means?" Harry looked at Gor in surprise and said, "Is it a kidnapping? I sent people to Beili Country to kidnap Ye Fei?"

"This is impossible." Harry shook his head and said: "No one can do it. Talents like Ye Fei are watched by people from the Xia Kingdom 24 hours a day. Anyone with different intentions has not yet been contacted. If he gets to him, he might be shot dead.”

"Stupid!" Gor slammed the table and said angrily: "Who told you to send people to arrest Ye Fei? Now, didn't the Fullerene Research Institute lease the lithium battery separator technology to Xia Guo's Enjie Shares? !”

"Then making lithium battery separators must require C72 fullerene. You can steal some C72 fullerene from this company!"

"You're right!" Harry's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "You can steal C72 fullerene from Enjie Shares!"

Gold said: "Just a little bit, if you get me ten kilograms, I can know how C72 fullerene is made."

"At that time, we will also be able to develop many products through C72 fullerene."

"Only in this way can our country continue to win in science and technology."

Harry smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely get it for you this time."

But Harry never imagined that before C72 fullerene left the Fullerene Research Institute, it was made into C72 fullerene molecules and some mixed elements were added to it.

Even if Harry obtained the materials for making lithium battery separators from Enjie, he would not be able to develop C72 fullerene.

It's like a pill. It's very difficult to analyze the ingredients in it.

Of course, it is very simple for modern technology to analyze the ingredients of pills. I am just making an analogy.

Kyoto, Fullerene Research Institute!

Ye Fei sat at the table, looked through the eyepiece, and used an electron microscope to observe the fusion of C72 fullerene biological receptors and non-fullerene small molecule receptors.

Ye Fei discovered through experiments that C72 fullerenes and non-fullerenes cannot be fused.

Later, I thought of using C72 fullerene molecules when studying lithium battery separators.

However, it was found that C72 fullerene molecules and non-fullerene molecules still cannot be fused.

He then tried to fuse fullerene derivative receptors with non-fullerene derivative receptors, but was still unsuccessful.

Ye Fei tried dozens of methods.

One day, when Ye Fei was visiting the garden, he saw bees collecting honey.

This led Ye Fei to think of using C72 fullerene bioreceptors to fuse with non-fullerene small molecules.

After a while, Ye Fei saw the C72 fullerene bioreceptor and non-fullerene small molecules slowly merging.

A smile appeared on Ye Fei's lips: "Great, it's finally going to bear fruit."

After a long time, Ye Fei stopped working, raised his hand and glanced at his watch, and said, "It's already seven o'clock in the evening, it's time for dinner."

This watch was given to Ye Fei by Professor Gao.

Professor Gao saw that Ye Fei didn't have a watch, so he gave Ye Fei a watch from home.

In the words of Professor Gao: "How can scientific researchers not have watches?"

"Generally, scientific researchers turn off their mobile phones when working. It is very convenient to have a watch to check the time."

This watch was given to Professor Gao by someone else. It is worth a lot of money, more than 500,000 yuan.

Professor Gao had his own watch, but he had never used it, so he gave it to Ye Fei.

Ye Fei didn't refuse. As Professor Gao, something worth more than half a million yuan was a drop in the bucket to Professor Gao.

For Ye Fei's current worth, it is like someone giving him a small snack.

After saying that, Ye Fei stood up, packed everything on the table, and walked out of the laboratory.

When Ye Fei walked to the lobby on the first floor of the institute and was about to leave the institute, Professor Gao called him from behind: "Ye Fei!"

Ye Fei turned around and looked at Professor Gao, who was approaching, and said with a smile: "Professor Gao, have you eaten?"

"No!" Professor Gao walked to Ye Fei and asked, "You must not have eaten yet, let's come together!"

"good!"

After saying that, the two of them walked outside the institute.

Professor Gao asked: "How was today's research? Last time I heard that you found a way to fuse C72 fullerene and non-fullerene."

"Yes!" Ye Fei nodded: "We have indeed found them. Today's research and development, they are starting to merge."

"Really integrated?" Professor Gao's eyes widened in surprise: "How did you do it?"

Professor Gao also conducted such research at that time.

It's just that at that time he was fused through C60 fullerene and non-fullerene.

Of course, when studying the fusion of fullerenes and non-fullerenes, using C72 and C60, the difference is not very big.

After Professor Gao's research failed for a long time, he stopped doing research.

Ye Feidao: "I fused the C72 fullerene derivative receptor and the fullerene small molecule receptor, and then they fused."

"Is it that simple?" Professor Gao said in surprise: "I also conducted such research at that time, and they were not integrated."

"Of course not!" Ye Feidao: "I also added the fused-ring non-fullerene acceptor Y6 to it, which greatly improved the non-fullerene light absorption capacity."

"Increase light absorption efficiency from 10% to 18%."

"Y6 still has this effect?" Professor Gao frowned.

"Of course!" Ye Fei nodded: "Fullerenes are a huge treasure, not just C72 fullerenes, C60 fullerenes, Y6 fullerenes, but also their non-fullerenes."

"We may not even have studied their fur."

"I think we should fuse various fullerenes and non-fullerenes together, and maybe we will find something surprising."

"Yes!" Professor Gao nodded: "But no one has ever fused two fullerenes together, nor has anyone fused fullerenes and non-fullerenes together."

Professor Gao looked at Ye Fei and said: "Ye Fei, maybe you are the first person in the world to fuse multiple fullerenes together."

"You, a mathematician, have made such great achievements in the field of materials."

"You can make people who work with materials envious and jealous!"

Ye Fei smiled and said: "Hate as much as you want. As the saying goes, if you are not hated by others, you are mediocre."

"You're right!" Professor Gao said with a smile: "It's mediocre not to be hated by others. We people, growing up, have been hated by many people!"

After going to the cafeteria for dinner, Ye Fei returned to his residence and began to study mathematics.

Ye Fei conducts fullerene research during the day and mathematics research at night.

Ye Fei sat at his desk, looked at the calculations on the paper, and thought to himself: "Hilbert's 12th problem is to construct the largest Abelian extension of the number field."

"The so-called domain expansion is a process similar to the expansion of the rational number domain to the complex number domain..."

"So, domain expansion should be connected with group theory..."

After a long time, Ye Fei finished his research and went to bed.

Ye Fei has completed one-tenth of the research on Hilbert's 12th question.

“The research will probably be completed by April next year!”

A week later!

In the laboratory!

Ye Fei looked at the electron microscope and saw that the C72 fullerene derivative receptor and the non-fullerene small molecule receptor were completely fused together. "

"That's great." Ye Fei said excitedly: "Finally they are integrated together."

"Then start writing the paper."

Now Ye Fei can also write papers in the field of materials science.

Therefore, no one else is needed to help write it.

A week later, Ye Fei posted the paper on Arxiv.

After that, Ye Fei shut down the computer.

However, what Ye Fei didn't know was his paper.

Let Ye Fei embark on energy research, and eventually let Ye Fei discover an energy source that surpasses controllable nuclear fusion.

The earth no longer has to worry about energy issues.

Of course, this was much later.

For Ye Fei now, he is still a toddler, and many theories are still in the exploratory stage.
