I am devoted to scientific research, but you want to trick me into having a love relationship?

Chapter 614 If you don't abandon me, you may all become my godfather.
Guangdong Province, Haizhu District of Guangzhou.

In the living room, the five adults looked at each other, seemingly pondering the meaning behind the girl's words.

What do you mean by "it seems like I saw my uncle"?
Seeing everyone staring at her, the girl raised her tablet, her little face full of excitement: "Is this my uncle?"

Wu Jiali and the others couldn't help but move closer, looking at the news on the tablet.

Inside, a middle-aged man in a gray coat, with a serious expression, nodded and said, "Yes, we are currently trying a new approach, specifically constructing a LiF/GO composite artificial SEI layer. Through a chemical-physical synergistic mechanism, we can effectively suppress the two core problems in lithium-sulfur batteries: lithium dendrite growth and polysulfide shuttle."

The CTV logo on the microphone in front of the middle-aged man was particularly prominent.

Two people appeared in the interview about the Kyoto Institute for Materials Science: Zhao Shengwen and Zheng Xu, the direct heads of the two major projects.

"It really is Old Zheng."

Wu Jiali's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

She bought that gray coat!

Strangely, besides feeling happy, she couldn't help but complain in her heart, "I've told you so many times not to wear this dress, but you still won't listen."

I bought it when I first returned to China, and the color is already fading from washing.

The others also looked surprised.

Next to the middle-aged man was a row of smaller, descriptive text.

Zheng Xu, head of lithium-sulfur batteries.

While the adults stared at the tablet, the girl had already taken out her phone to search for related news, saying, "The news says that my uncle's project has made a new breakthrough, and they can manufacture batteries that outperform those from the Max Planck Institute in Europe!"

"Wow, Zheng Xu's research institute is that amazing?" Wu Mei asked in surprise, turning to look at her younger sister. Didn't she just say that there weren't any results?
Wu Jiali didn't know how to explain for a moment.

Normally, what can a newly established research institute produce?

The girl tapped her fingers on the screen, as if she had seen something even more exciting: "And another thing, both CATL and BYD have issued announcements that they want to buy my uncle's patents. Not counting the subsequent revenue sharing, it adds up to more than 4 million!"

"."

The people in the living room were startled again. Even the usually calm old man's gaze darkened, and he picked up the teacup on the table to drink water and calm his nerves.

During this period, he privately complained about Zheng Xu quite a bit.

"My goodness, over 4 million!" Wu Mei gasped.

Wu Jiali had already come to her senses by this time. She was happy for her husband, but she smiled and said, "Judging from your expressions, anyone who didn't know better would think that my husband, Lao Zheng, earned 4 million yuan. It's all the research institute's money. How much could a mere researcher like him get?"

"Junior researcher Jiali, Zheng Xu is one of the project leaders!"

"That won't amount to much."

Wu Jiali shook her head and continued, "Research like theirs often involves investments of tens or hundreds of millions of yuan. Even after deducting costs, they don't make much money. And even if they do make money, it all goes to Xu Qingzhou. At most, Lao Zheng will get some bonuses."

She studied finance, so she knew all too well how terrifying the cost of conducting experiments could be.

The investment in equipment alone at the Kyoto Materials Research Institute, where Zheng Xu went, was close to 3 billion, not including the billions spent on land and construction.

But no matter what, Lao Zheng and his team's achievement this time is indeed amazing.

"That's good, that's good. I was worried that Xiaoxu would suffer over there, but now I can rest assured."

Wu Jiali's mother nodded slightly, a smile on her face. She had initially resented Zheng Xu for abandoning her daughter, but now things were different.

I can only admire my daughter's good taste.

Those gossipy neighbors and friends can now shut up.

Just then, Wu Jiali's phone suddenly rang.

"Zheng Xu's phone call."

As Wu Jiali spoke, she answered the phone, "Are you done with your work?"

"Yes, I just came out of the office."

Wu Jiali said, "Take a break when you need to, and don't exhaust yourself all the time."

"Hehe, I'm usually not that busy, but today the experiment is entering the next phase, so there's a little more to do. Where are Mom, Dad, and my older sister?" "They're all here."

His mother-in-law said with concern, "Xiao Xu, you're all alone over there, so please take care of yourself."

"Mom, don't worry, I'm doing great here."

On the internet in Xia Kingdom, a trending topic suddenly appeared on the hot search list.

"my country has made a breakthrough in battery research and development! The battery technology developed by the Kyoto Institute for Materials Science can achieve an energy density of 500Wh/kg for solid-state batteries, exceeding EU laboratory data by 10%!"

The Kyoto Institute for Materials Science was the first to release this news, seemingly having been informed beforehand. People's Daily and other media outlets immediately reposted it, and the news went viral.

Comments section of Renren Daily.

Congratulations! (Like)

"No, what is that? Kyoto Materials Research Institute? Xu Qingzhou's research institute?"

"666."

"No, they've only been doing this for three months, how come there's something else already?"

"Even a rocket couldn't achieve this speed! 500Wh/kg... does that mean we won't be able to drive electric cars with a range of over 1000 kilometers for long?"

"I was wondering why domestic companies hadn't made any moves, and now I know why."

"Goodness, now I understand what Xu Shen meant by his Weibo post a few days ago."

Europe: Completely bewildered.

Courtyard No. 1.

Xu Qingzhou had finished eating and was leaning back on the sofa reading news online.

"It's not that interesting. I'm actually more curious about the expressions on the faces of those guys from Mapu when they get this news."

It will probably take some time for the news to spread from China to other countries.

He smiled faintly and opened his comment section.

"Damn, I knew it. Whenever someone sets a goal, Xu Shen will slap them in the face."

"Where's the guy who said he was going to eat shit upside down a few days ago? Come out here."

"He's probably in line. There are a few guys ahead of him who've already made promises, so it's not his turn yet."

Shuimu University.

Kong Xianbo browsed through the news online and sighed, "Tsk tsk, Lao Xu is getting more and more awesome. It's normal that he's only been working on this project for two or three months. This guy is inhuman."

In the group chat, Xu Zhengyang and Zhai Ziqiang were already offering their congratulations.

Xu Qingzhou, ever the cheeky one, sent a message: "Standard procedure."

"I used to think Lao Xu was just showing off, but now I realize that it seems to be just standard practice."

Kong Xianbo sighed, inwardly despising Xu Qingzhou, and then began to consider where to go for a good meal so that Xu Qingzhou would spend some money to soothe their wounded spirits.

In the group chat, Xu Zhengyang and Zhai Ziqiang also tacitly started asking where to go for a good meal.

On the No. 1 Courtyard side, Xu Qingzhou had already logged out of Weibo and typed with a smile: "You guys choose the seats, and Mr. Xu will pay for everything."

It's been quite a while since we've gotten together.

Xu Zhengyang: "Old Xu is so domineering!"

Zhai Ziqiang: "Brother Zhou is awesome!"

Kong Xianbo: "Old Xu is awesome."

Xu Qingzhou: "If you don't mind, you may all become my godfathers."
