What would you do if you suddenly gained Superman's powers?
Beat up Batman first?
But there's no Batman in the real world!
"First, I have to ensure my own safety."...
Gao Ang paused, his right hand holding the wrench still. "This is really good news."
"But let me warn you first, even if you can cause destruction, you can't just do whatever you want, especially when it comes to changes that involve lives and deaths. You must think it through carefully, conduct countless simulations, and ensure that no major accidents will occur before you can take action. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, sir, I know what I'm doing, and I'll remind them. We won't do anything reckless."
Chisui's tone was very serious and earnest.
He knew Gao Yuan's personality and also knew his bottom line.
"Has the flow of funds at Anmei Pharmaceutical been investigated?"
Gao Ang remained deeply troubled by this matter, believing that his intuition was correct.
There are no coincidences in the world. If they do exist, they are just illusions of people who don't know the truth.
"You know what, I actually found some shady dealings."
The voice of the thousand-year-old revealed a hint of smugness and seemed to be becoming more and more human.
"Those funds were transferred starting three years ago, through XX bank accounts, in hundreds of transactions, and finally into a private account. The account holder's information file was frighteningly clean."
"Another person who doesn't exist?"
"That's right. Although there are photos of him, the person in the photos, including all his personal information, is based on another person. This person's name is Wang Jianhao, and the account holder's name is Xiamen."
"Xiamen? Isn't that the name of a city?"
Could it be that this person is in Xiamen?
No, someone capable of creating a person out of thin air wouldn't put such obvious clues in the open, not even if it were a deliberate scheme.
"What happened to all that money?"
"It's been taken."
"Took it?"
Gao Ang finally turned around and glanced at Qian Sui, "Cash?"
"Yes, cash. The bank's video recordings expired and were automatically deleted long ago, so..."
"So, this person is still shrouded in mystery."
Hundreds of billions in cash! Without a certain level of influence, Gao Feng wouldn't believe it even if you beat him to death.
He was even hesitant to continue the investigation.
He pushed the third brother away, put the wrench in his hand into the toolbox, and after thinking for a while, Gao Ang said:
"Monitor the communication information of the shareholders of Anmei Pharmaceutical. It would be best to start by checking their money transfers. Not only should you check normal communications, but you should also check any details that may involve information transmission."
"Yes, sir."
Even for a psychopath like Chitose, tracing back three years of communications would be a troublesome task.
Gao Ang didn't expect him to finish in a few hours anyway, since three years had already passed, a day or two wouldn't make a difference.
"Wait a minute, you said those funds started being transferred three years ago?"
"That's right."
"Specific time?"
Qian Sui told Gao Ang a date, and Gao Ang opened his phone and started searching for information on Baidu.
I was halfway through the search when I suddenly realized, why did I even bother searching manually?
"Your Excellency, search for major news in Shanghai around this time."
As expected, one of the news items attracted significant attention.
"Let's search for Zhen Feitian's activities before and after this time, starting from March 2017."
In April 2017, Zhen Feitian stated in his "Letter to Shareholders" that TS Group's revenue was 25 billion yuan and its market value exceeded 65 billion yuan.
In May 2017, Zhen Feitian resigned as chairman of TS Group and pledged all of his shares, saying it was for financing and development.
In June 2017, Zhen Feitian founded TS Health and served as its chairman. The registered address was Shan Guo.
In July of 2017, Zhen Feitian went to the Mountain Kingdom alone and never returned...
"This is getting interesting. This is definitely not a coincidence."
According to the bank transaction records tracked by Qian Sui, Anmei Pharmaceutical's fund transfers began in early 2017, with the earliest transaction occurring in April 2017.
This is closely related to many of the actions of TS Group, also known as Zhen Feitian.
"There must be an unknown big shot behind Anmei Pharmaceutical and TS Group, or rather, behind Zhen Feitian himself."
Gao Feng had no idea who this big shot was.
However, he had reason to believe that this person was definitely connected to Xia Weiwei.
Because Xia Weiwei's parents died in early March of 2017.
"Your Excellency, I have another task for you. Investigate who Xia Weiwei's parents have known, preferably those with whom they have financial ties. Hmm, it would be even better if you could find a business partner."
Gao Ang couldn't help but suspect that after Xia Weiwei's parents died, there might have been one or more people coveting her family's wealth, which led to all these troubles.
According to Xia Weiwei, her parents left her a lot of assets.
But these are only the things that are out in the open. What about the things that are hidden?
Just like the agreement he and she signed, other people must have signed their own agreements as well.
Gao Feng even suspected that TS Group and Anmei Pharmaceutical were both part of Xia Weiwei's deceased father's business empire.
As soon as her father passed away, all sorts of shady characters emerged, taking advantage of their private agreement being kept secret, to quickly cash out and run away.
Otherwise, what a coincidence!
Her father had just died, and these two companies, and even more that haven't been identified yet, started coming up with strange tricks?
If other companies experience similar anomalies, Gao Ang could have Qian Sui continue investigating, and perhaps uncover more clues.
Shaking his head, Gao Ang kept the matter to himself.
They've probably been planning this for years; it's not like he can find fault with them in just a few days.
Chisui was busy with his own things, while the other two little ones were running around, not doing anything productive.
I took a stroll around the lab and found that ROG's production is very stable. Based on the current inventory, it should be enough for Dong Sheng Health to use for one or two months, so it's no problem to let the two little ones play a little longer.
Everyone needs a wonderful childhood.
"Oh, sir, come and help me up."
On the second-floor balcony, Gao Ang heard Lao San's cries for help.
Looking out the window, wow, the car had overturned.
The second child, the one who's a hundred years old, is still wandering around nearby, still playing music: "De piao de piao de, drifting all over the place..."
"Why don't you help the third brother?"
He helped the third child up from the ground, glared at the second child with a commanding presence, and displayed a strong sense of parental authority.
"He tried to hit me, and when I dodged, he fell into the ditch."
The second son is still as taciturn as ever, and his speech is always concise and to the point.
"Thump!" Gao Ang flicked the third brother's forehead. A few seconds later, the third brother finally reacted.
"Ouch, who hit me?"
"...Stop pretending, you're almost out of power, go charge it quickly."
These two were flying and running, and they used up all the stored electricity in just one morning.
The third brother spun around twice before slowly walking into the inner room, muttering to himself:
"Sir, could you please try to fix the battery? It's run out of power before we've had enough fun."
The second brother, who was following behind him, also stopped immediately and kept spinning around. "Hmm, this battery is too wasteful."
DJI batteries are useless?
Their battery is touted as an intelligent flight battery, containing many more components in addition to polymer lithium-ion batteries.
First, in order to protect the battery's long-term working safety, the power management system can protect the battery from charging and discharging, ensuring that the battery always operates within a safe range.
Secondly, leaving a fully charged battery unused for an extended period can affect its lifespan. DJI Smart Batteries have built-in battery storage self-discharge protection, which automatically discharges the battery even when left unused for a long time, extending its usage time.
Such an advanced intelligent program, and these two guys actually said it was useless?
However, on the other hand, we still need to take these two guys' requests seriously.
Gao Feng had been pondering whether, since he was able to manipulate free charges, he could use this ability to upgrade batteries or other industrial technologies.
He thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't come up with any ideas.
His ability is primarily focused on the power generation process; to put it simply, his body is a giant solar cell.
The sun charges him and replenishes his energy, which he then converts into forces within gravitational and magnetic fields, and then directs the movement of free charges to form an electric current.
We can't expect him to sacrifice himself and stand at the power plant generating electricity every day, can we?
However, the suggestion made by the second and third brothers is indeed very instructive.
Not to mention their need for extended battery life, there is demand even in civilian and military applications.
In the civilian sector alone, new energy vehicles, drones, mobile phones, and various other electronic products are desperately seeking improvements in battery life.
If we can truly find a way to improve the current battery life, that would be incredibly valuable.
Needless to say, even if it doubles or even increases by 50% or 30%, the market value will never be less than 10 billion. This is not the currency of the Eastern Kingdom, but the currency of the Mountain Kingdom, 10 billion Mountain Gold.
"Chisuke, organize the relevant information about the battery. Let's study it over the next few days and see if we can do anything about it."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Gao Ang received a pile of documents.
"...You're incredibly efficient!"
He had originally planned to take a break and go out to sea to scare some fish, but Chitose's quick reaction gave him no chance at all.
"Um, these are my study materials. I browsed them before and put them aside. I just brought them over since you need them."
Okay, it's good that kids enjoy learning, but the problem is that it puts a bit too much pressure on adults...
"Tell me what you've learned."
Gao Ang browsed through the information while listening to Qian Sui's rambling.
"Currently, lithium batteries are the most widely used in commercial applications, and they are further divided into..."
I only had a vague understanding of this information before, and most of it came from the news.
Tesla cars from the mountainous country use lithium batteries; DJI drones from the eastern country also use lithium batteries. Currently, lithium batteries have the widest range of applications.
It's not that there aren't other batteries, but their capacity, battery life, and even safety are all inferior to lithium batteries.
There will definitely be better batteries in the future, but limited by the current level of technology, they can only try to find solutions for lithium batteries unless they can discover new materials.
The new material is more reactive than lithium, which means that the resulting battery will have a larger capacity and longer battery life.
After reviewing the information, Gao Ang discovered a problem: his abilities seemed to be completely useless.
He can only control the free charges in a conductor, but the working principle of a lithium battery and the directional movement of charges within a conductor don't seem to have much to do with each other.
The cathode material of lithium batteries is usually lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4). The chemical equation for the cathode during charging is LiFePO4 → Li1-xFePO4 + xLi+ + xe-, and the chemical equation for the cathode during discharging is Li1-xFePO4 + xLi+ + xe- → LiFePO4.
The negative electrode material of lithium batteries is usually graphite. During charging, lithium ions are inserted, and the chemical equation for the negative electrode is xLi++xe-+6C→LixC6; during discharging, lithium ions are extracted, and the chemical equation for the negative electrode is LixC6→xLi++xe-+6C.
In other words, whether it's charging or discharging, lithium batteries have their own internal chemical reactions. Simply put, it's the movement of lithium atoms that creates the charging and discharging process.
To improve the energy efficiency of lithium batteries, we must either work on these reactants or on the positive and negative electrode materials.
Forget about the reactants; Gao Feng doesn't think he's any better than those big shots at the Academy of Sciences. But he could do some research on the positive and negative electrode materials.
To give a very simple example:
With the same amount of reactants, the number of lithium ions produced will definitely be the same, meaning that the amount of electricity released after being fully charged will theoretically be the same.
However, there are variables in the process of discharging.
One lithium battery uses the most common graphite for both the positive and negative electrodes, while the other uses titanate, which releases more electricity than graphite.
The number of charge-discharge cycles for batteries is even greater than that for graphite.
The specific reasons will not be investigated further, but Gao Feng knows that if he has any way to improve the energy efficiency of lithium batteries, the key factor is definitely the positive and negative electrode materials.
"If I remember correctly, my skin structure is similar to carbide."
What is carnediene? It is a carbon structural material that is theoretically more advanced than graphene and graphite.
Formulate hypotheses, verify hypotheses, and draw conclusions.
Chitose bought another batch of experimental equipment online; last time it was for biology and chemistry, and this time it's for physics.
Judging solely from the abundance of equipment, Gao Ang's small courtyard could barely be considered a research institute, albeit a very rudimentary one.
1. Resistance tester, used for basic continuity, voltage, and internal resistance testing;
2. Battery comprehensive tester, used for basic performance testing, such as overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection, short circuit protection, NTC resistance testing, etc.
3, ...
Two days later, looking at the delivered equipment, Gao Yang was overwhelmed with grief: This little piece of junk cost me almost 3 million yuan, it's outrageous!
"Your Majesty, do your best in stock trading. Whether we can achieve a hundredfold return by the end of the year depends on you."
Although ROG's profits will eventually be distributed, and Xia Weiwei even has hundreds of millions in her bank account, Gao Ang still feels a bit heartbroken about spending money like this.
"Damn it, I thought I could save money by not eating, but who knew I'd end up spending even more."
Despite the complaints, the necessary experiments still need to be done.
"Third brother, let some of the stratum corneum fall off."
In the past two days, Gao Ang has also discovered other uses for the second and third children.
They can not only secrete ROG, but they can also shed cells that grow from the surface, which are epidermal cells with the exact same cellular structure as their own.
He had previously undergone testing, and his epidermal cell structure had surpassed the perfection of carbazine.
That's why he was confident in conducting this experiment.
Even with the equipment, it is still difficult to manufacture very sophisticated lithium batteries.
Fortunately, it was just an experiment, so the battery didn't need to be particularly sophisticated. The principle was the same as that of a lithium battery; it just needed to be able to charge and discharge.
After a morning of hard work, he and Qian Sui created a very rudimentary lithium battery that looked like a water jug.
It has two ends, one is the positive electrode and the other is the negative electrode, with reactants and isolation layers in between.
After testing, the charging and discharging process was perfectly reproduced, and the data was recorded for future experimental comparison.
The negative electrode material of the barrel-shaped battery was removed and replaced with keratinocyte tissue taken from the second child.
It's a very small piece, about the size of the small cylinder on the tip of a ballpoint pen.
There's no way around it; that's just how these cells are. Once they detach from the body and become individual cells, they break apart.
It was only after Gao Ang repeatedly urged his second son to work harder that such a large piece was "born".
Installation, inspection, internal testing... everything is normal.
The next step is to repeat the charging and discharging process while recording the data.
During this process, Gao Feng also sensed the movement of lithium ions inside the barrel-shaped battery.
"Um?"
Something's not right.
"Little Flower, run!"
