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

Chapter 686: The table has barely been set up, and people are already starting to flip it?

September, early autumn, the summer heat gradually dissipates.

Fujian, CATL's 21C Innovation Lab
In his office, Chen Rongxuan was leisurely drinking tea. After spending most of his life doing research, this year was the most comfortable one he had ever had.

Research in the field of batteries is progressing rapidly and is proceeding as smoothly as ever.

To put it simply, the current samples are on completely different levels from those from a year ago, much like the difference between a keypad phone from ten years ago and a smartphone today.

He once remarked to his friends that it was as if someone had turned on the scientific development line, and all technologies were developing at an accelerated pace.

"In this era of great development, we may soon experience a new technological revolution."

Chen Rongxuan sighed, then turned on his computer and browsed the latest news.

He has always had this habit.

Like young people, surf the internet and stay up-to-date with the latest information.

It's also a way to see what young people like to do.

However, suddenly, as if he had seen something, he stared blankly at the Weibo message with a strange expression.

A netizen named "Old Horse Knows the Way" started a topic.

[Big news! We've completely solved the problems of lithium dendrites and shuttle effect!]

"What kind of funny news is this?"

Chen Rongxuan frowned. "Lithium dendrites and shuttle effect, do you even know what you're talking about?"

That's how the internet is; all sorts of information, true and false, are mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish between them.

With the arrival of this era of internet traffic, various self-media outlets are becoming increasingly unscrupulous.

He wanted to use what netizens say these days: "If you have nothing to do, just find a class to take."

Despite his internal grumbling, he still opened the other person's Weibo account, intending to provide some information.

Once you open a Weibo post, you can see the full content.

Then he noticed that the article mentioned several phrases, especially "reposted by Renren Daily" and "Kyoto Materials Research Institute".

Renren Daily.

Did the official Weibo account repost it?
Xu Qingzhou's research institute?

When these words came together, Chen Rongxuan suddenly had a bad feeling. He then opened the search box and searched for the words "lithium dendrite".

Then, an article from Renren Daily appeared before my eyes.

He took a deep breath and stared intently at the message.

[#Ending Battery Safety Hazards! Chinese Team Overcomes Dual Challenges of Lithium Dendrites and Shuttle Effect]
Today, the Kyoto Institute for Materials Science announced the world's first successful implementation of "zero dendrite, zero shuttle" technology for lithium metal batteries, enabling electric vehicles to break the 2000-kilometer range barrier.

Chen Rongxuan was stunned, and subconsciously slid down.

Below Renren Daily is the official Weibo account of the Kyoto Institute of Materials.

[Great News! Our institute's world-first dual-effect synergistic technology completely solves the problems of lithium dendrites and shuttle effect]

Our research team has successfully overcome two major bottlenecks in lithium metal batteries: uncontrolled lithium dendrite growth and the polysulfide shuttle effect. This was achieved through the following innovative technologies: quantum spin-controlled catalysts, MOF-808-supported atomically dispersed metals (Fe, Co, Ni), catalyzing LiS decomposition and uniform Li deposition.

This product, called TiO polyolefin-based separator, can completely prevent lithium dendrite formation.

The QS-positive electrode of lithium-sulfur batteries can completely solve the shuttle effect.

Silence, long silence.

Chen Rongxuan picked up the teacup and took a few sips before realizing that he had finished the water, but his throat was still a little dry.

When people are struck by a violent blow, they are often calm, and their thoughts are even incredibly clear.

"It's fake, absolutely fake. It's because I work in this industry that I know the difficulties in solving lithium dendrites and the shuttle effect."

Chen Rongxuan thought to himself, but then quickly shook his head.

Can.
The official sources have already endorsed it, so how could it be fake?

Of course, from a probabilistic point of view, any news has the potential to be disproven; it's just a matter of degree.

At the very least, the possibility that this is fake news in China is very low.

The fact that the authorities have come forward to endorse it clearly indicates that it has already been verified.

"So, they really did solve both of those problems!"

bang~
The office door was pushed open.

Zhang Zefeng rushed into the office, shouting, "Old Chen, look at the message I sent you! Something terrible has happened in Kyoto!"

"."

Zhang Zefeng eventually fell silent; judging from Chen Rongxuan's expression, he already knew.

He sat down opposite Chen Rongxuan. "What do you think?" Chen Rongxuan paused for a moment, then uttered a few words, "This is not scientific."

Whether it's the shuttle effect or lithium dendrites, solving either one would be a miracle, but Xu Qingzhou has managed to solve both. He paused, then continued, "But the facts are undeniable."

"."

Zhang Zefeng poured himself a cup of tea and gulped it down. Even though several minutes had passed, he still needed to process the news.

After a long pause, he sighed, "I suddenly remembered a sentence I saw online: 'This Professor Xu has only just stepped onto the table in the field of batteries, and he's already flipped the table.'"

“We’re not the only ones who’re confused,” Chen Rongxuan said with a wry smile.

Zhang Zefeng was helpless. This was more than just being stunned; anyone with a heart condition would be scared out of their wits.

It's like in the early 20th century, when everyone was still researching cars, and the more capable ones were making airplanes. Suddenly, you appeared and had already developed a spaceship that could go straight to Mars.

Generation gap.

The two sat there, looking at each other in silence.

My feelings were incredibly complicated.

The good news is that we can see two century-old problems solved by Shui Lingling at the same time, and the electric vehicle industry will usher in an unprecedented development.

The bad news is, they are rivals.

Hey~
Chen Rongxuan's phone on his desk buzzed.

He glanced at the caller ID and sighed, "It's Chairman Bai calling. Well, looks like we're going to be busy these next few days."

The impact of lithium dendrites isn't that significant yet, but the shuttle effect has been resolved.
Solid-state batteries are the first to be affected.

Keep in mind that they had only just begun setting up their physical factory.

As they said, domestic battery companies are completely bewildered, and are currently working feverishly to set up solid-state battery production lines.

But right from the start, it was hit hard.

The battery industry has been shaken to its core, but the average person hasn't heard the news yet.

Next to Kyoto University.

Xu Zhengyang and Kong Xianbo were drinking.

"Old Xu really isn't coming?"

"I'm not coming. I said I'm going home to cook for my wife."

"Old Xu, you're still the real brother." Kong Xianbo opened a bottle of wine and handed it over.

Xu Zhengyang clinked his wine bottle against Kong Xianbo's. "There's nothing I can do. Chen Shiqi is away on a business trip. I don't even have a chance to be close to my girlfriend."

"."

"Cough~ Of course, even if Chen Shiqi is at home, I'll definitely come over to keep you company."

Sensing Kong Xianbo's resentful gaze, Xu Zhengyang coughed and added.

Kong Xianbo rolled his eyes, clinked bottles with Xu Zhengyang, and downed half a bottle.

Half an hour passed.

"Old Kong, buddy, I think you guys should really give it another try. It's not easy to find the right person these days."

"I'll think about it some more, after all, Teng Xiaojuan and I don't live in the same place."

"Actually, I think you already have the answer. You're just being indecisive, and the girl has already taken the initiative to come to you."

After a while, Xu Zhengyang glanced at his phone.

Inside, his girlfriend Chen Shiqi sent him a message.

He glanced at it and froze.

Seeing that Xu Zhengyang had suddenly frozen in place, Kong Xianbo asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Zhengyang snapped out of his daze and handed his phone to Kong, who was standing next to him.

Kong glanced at it suspiciously, then fell silent. He put down his phone, took a sip of his drink, and finally managed to utter a single word: "Damn!"

"Damn it, focus on your career! What's romance anyway!"

Xu Zhengyang was provoked.
“Yes, it’s about career, look at Lao Xu!” Kong Xianbo nodded.

The two clinked glasses.

Kong Xianbo took a sip of his drink, paused, and then said, "But then again... Teng Xiaojuan and I..."
