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

Chapter 689 He's been defeated by this young man again.

The meeting room on the second floor of the EU headquarters in Brussels.

Simson stared intently at the screen, his expression terrifyingly grim, as if confirming the authenticity of the message.

His appearance only made the others in the meeting room more confused.

Mr. Simson

Becker cursed inwardly. "Damn, why is everyone like this? Has something really gone wrong?"
He wanted to ask what had happened, but his phone rang; it was one of his men calling.

"Alright, I'll see what this is all about!"

Becker wasn't stupid; he guessed that what his subordinate had said on the phone was likely related to the reason that Simson and the others had lost their composure.

After he answered the phone.

Immediately, the 55-year-old French gentleman displayed the same expression as Simson, staring wide-eyed and standing frozen in place, as if struck by lightning.

The other people in the conference room seemed to have received the message one after another.

"The people of Xia simultaneously solved the problems of lithium dendrite formation and shuttle effect in batteries?!"

"This is impossible!"

"Damn it, it's that Kyoto Materials Research Institute again!"

"This unscientific!"

Incredulous shouts erupted from the conference room.

The German representative had a complicated expression and sighed inwardly, thankfully that they hadn't had too much friction with Xia Guo in recent years because of the car company.

"Could this news be fake? Brooks, we both work in scientific research, you should know how difficult it is to solve both of these problems at the same time."

"It was officially retweeted by the Xia Kingdom, what do you think?"

"."

The German representative put down his phone and glanced at everyone present. "Gentlemen," he said, "if we're going to continue this meeting, we'll probably have to change the subject."

Anti-dumping investigation?

Now we'll probably have to beg the Xia Kingdom to share their technology.

Lithium dendrites and the shuttle effect.
Despite having received definitive news, he still finds it hard to believe.

Without a doubt, the future of the battery industry will belong to China.

Their current meeting seems utterly ridiculous.

"Let's adjourn."

Simson waved his hand bitterly, suddenly feeling a sense of powerlessness. At this moment, everyone was too busy begging Xia Guo for help, let alone going looking for trouble with Xia Guo.

Once again, they were defeated by this young man from the Xia Kingdom.

The delegates left immediately without lingering, including Becker, who, as an official of the French Ministry of Energy, knew the meetings would continue indefinitely.

Inside the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics.

Thomas Klinger, the director who last visited Xu Qingzhou to purchase superconducting thin films, is having afternoon tea with a friend.

After obtaining the license from Xu Qingzhou's superconducting thin film, the W7-X stellarator is undergoing technical upgrades and will be operational in 3 months, at which time it will break records again.

"Well, Professor Harvey's lithium dendrite project has completely fallen through."

Klinger sighed helplessly.

The announcement from Xu Qingzhou and his team had the biggest impact not only on battery manufacturers, but also on research groups focusing on lithium dendrites and shuttle effects.

Years of hard work vanished in an instant, becoming utterly worthless.

“That’s right. I heard the project team is working on a rescue patent application, but the committee plans to withdraw funding, so it probably can’t continue. The most frustrated person is probably Fleck, who used to work on superconducting thin films,” said his friend Scott.
"Oh?"

Scott looked sympathetic: "He was working on superconducting thin films when he met Xu Qingzhou, and he collaborated with Professor Harvey on lithium dendrite research, but then he ran into Xu Qingzhou again."

"Well, he's just unlucky."

Klinger chuckled to himself.

"No, it's just that this young man is too dazzling."

Scott couldn't help but sigh.

“We were all wrong.” Klinger paused, then said in a deep voice, “We used to say that Xu Qingzhou’s name would definitely be on the list of nominees for the Nobel Prize in Physics, but now it seems that the Nobel Prize may belong to him.”

“The Nobel Prize,” Scott’s gaze darkened.

In the field of particle physics, the existence of the Higgs companion particle was discovered. In the field of condensed matter physics, the team developed ultra-high performance superconducting thin films. Now, they have solved the problems of lithium dendrites and shuttle effect, overcoming the last fatal flaw of lithium batteries.

He couldn't help but wonder: "But should it be the Chemistry Prize or the Physics Prize?"

"This is something the committee should be worried about."

Klinger shrugged, took a sip of coffee, and said slowly, "If I remember correctly, Fleck is an expert in superconducting thin films, and what we lack right now is someone who can help us upgrade our superconducting magnets."

"You're thinking?"

"Yes, we should ask Yoflak to come out and meet him."

The announcement from the Kyoto Materials Research Institute in Xia State was just the beginning. The official interviews were scheduled to follow. Xu Qingzhou only appeared briefly in the Renren Daily interview. The rest was left to Ji Yunshi, Zhao Shengwen, and Zheng Xu.

The Kyoto Institute for Materials Science is experiencing an unprecedented surge in activity.

He single-handedly changed the global battery landscape.

The research institute is incredibly busy; there are a lot of visitors every day.

The first group to be greeted were, of course, officials from the Ministry of Science and Technology, who toured the samples and signed cooperation agreements.

Next up are various companies, including power battery companies, consumer electronics companies, and the mobile phone and laptop battery market, etc.

office.

Xu Qingzhou poured tea for Chen Rongxuan of CATL; today was the second day of CATL's visit.

"Professor Chen, have some tea."

“Good tea.”

"As long as you like."

Chen Rongxuan took a sip of tea and said with some emotion, "Professor Xu, you've really disrupted our entire plan."

Dendrite formation and shuttle effects are the biggest obstacles to the commercialization of solid-state batteries and lithium-sulfur batteries.

Xu Qingzhou took care of both of them in one go.

Especially lithium-sulfur batteries.

Without a doubt, lithium-sulfur batteries will definitely be the mainstream in the future.

"I've said before that lithium-sulfur batteries are the future, but unfortunately, not many people believe it."

Xu Qingzhou shrugged.

"Before this, who would have thought that someone could actually handle the shuttle effect in such a short time?"

Chen Rongxuan gave a wry smile.

He looked at the young man opposite him and asked, "Are you planning to work on controlled nuclear fusion next?"

"Yes, it has already started."

"This thing is much more mysterious than lithium dendrites and shuttle effect."

"It all depends on people."

"Yeah, for some reason, I really do think you can succeed."

"Lend your blessings."

Chen Rongxuan stayed in the office for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before getting up to leave.

They signed a non-exclusive licensing agreement with Horizon Robotics, granting a bundle of patents on lithium dendrites and shuttle effects for an initial licensing fee of $6 million, with subsequent revenue sharing based on sales.

After signing the agreement with Zero Point Technology, the next step is to conduct pilot testing, integrating the lithium dendrite and shuttle effect technologies from the research institute into their own batteries.

"Whoo~"

With Chen Rongxuan gone, Xu Qingzhou finally had some free time.

I've been busy receiving all sorts of visitors lately, so I'm just relaxing in my chair with a cup of tea.
