Chapter 85 Re-crystal Battery
All problematic people in the original management of Red Star Group were removed. Those who should be dismissed should be dealt with according to the law. At the same time, a comprehensive skills assessment was conducted on the employees of the group. Those who failed to pass the skills test were compensated and those who passed the skills test were re-signed with employment contracts.
Some unnecessary departments were cut, some departments with overlapping functions were merged, and the entire group was streamlined on a large scale.
When all parties cooperate 100% in doing something, it becomes very easy to do.
At this time, the barite battery was just produced at the Red Star Materials Research Institute.
After seven days of sleepless nights and forgetting to eat, Mr. Gu's face was full of rosy glow.
Looking at the three different types of baryte batteries in front of him, his beard trembled with excitement.
"Great!" The old man stroked the battery as if he were stroking a child: "This is a groundbreaking technology! Xiao Jiang, you have made a contribution to the country!"
For people like the old man, serving the country is always the first priority and the highest honor! Jiang Shan smiled and said, "Now you don't have to worry about the future of the Red Heart Group."
The old man waved his hand and said, "With this thing, the Red Star Group will be famous all over the world. Besides, my mind is full of baryte silicon isotopes now, so how can I care about how the Red Star Group makes money?"
Jiang Shan laughed out loud.
The researchers around also laughed.
Indeed, now their minds are full of heavy silicon isotopes.
Looking at Jiang Shan, these researchers who have been working on materials science for many years were filled with amazement. How did he discover the barite silicon isotope? How did he make it?
Whenever asked, he just smiled and said nothing.
The old man complained about this: "You are hiding something, I understand. But you have to give me more information to study. I don't believe that I can't figure it out!"
During these seven days, the entire institute was not studying barytic silicon isotopes, but developing barytic batteries and designing manufacturing plans.
Everyone worked together to design three types of heavy crystal batteries.
Based on the content of silicon isotopes, the first one has the lowest energy density, at 2.5 kWh per kilogram, which is only a little more than three times higher than the current lithium battery's maximum energy density of 0.7 kWh per kilogram.
The second one is ten times higher; the third one is thirty times higher.
Actually, it has not reached the limit.
The energy density of heavy crystal batteries is generally thirty times, and with some sophisticated designs, the limit should be able to reach forty times.
As for the characteristic of releasing energy tenfold, all three batteries are the same.
The difference between them, apart from the energy density, is the service life.
The one with the lowest energy density has a longer service life of up to seven years. After seven years, more than half of the silicon isotopes inside it will be consumed and it will turn into a piece of pure glass. The second mid-range battery with ten times the energy density has a lifespan of five years. The third one has thirty times the energy density and a lifespan of three years.
The manufacturing cost of a barite battery is very low if silicon isotopes are not taken into account, because the main body of the battery, apart from silicon isotopes, only needs glass, ordinary glass.
How cheap is ordinary glass? Needless to say.
By using high-temperature heating, silicon isotopes are infiltrated into the glass, and then a shell, positive and negative electrodes are added to it, and a barite battery is ready.
This is what we studied during the seven days - what method can be used to infiltrate silicon isotopes into glass at the lowest cost.
After various experiments, we obtained the accurate conclusion that silicon isotopes are most likely to penetrate into glass in a high temperature environment of 300 degrees Celsius.
"Silicon isotopes are a very wonderful substance." Jiang Shan said: "In the future, the Red Star Laboratory can do more in-depth research on silicon isotopes to study their properties and applications."
He said: "For every achievement, the institute will have corresponding rewards."
He added, "The equipment in the institute is too old. Old man, please think about it later and report to the group headquarters about what equipment you need. We will arrange it immediately."
Speaking of this, the old man perked up and said, "Yes, yes, yes, most of the equipment in the institute are old stuff from thirty or forty years ago. We didn't have money before, so we had to make do with what we had. Now that Red Star has been acquired by you, and you're rich, I won't be polite to you."
As they spoke, Jiang Shan and the old man walked out of the laboratory.
Stand still at the door.
The old man said, "The discovery of barite isotopes is a feat and extremely important to the country. You must be prepared to welcome it."
Jiang Shan laughed.
Of course he knows.
Given the performance of barite batteries, military use is inevitable.
That's why three batteries with different energy densities were developed, because Jiang Shan had already considered this aspect.
The one with the highest energy density is prepared for the country and will not be put on the commercial market until more powerful batteries come out.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The one with the lowest energy density can obviously be put on the market directly, while the one in the middle is a spare tire, depending on the situation.
"I know." Jiang Shan said, "In fact, I have already called Cui Wei, and he will be here soon. He will deliver the samples of three baryte batteries and a silicon isotope material directly to Beijing."
This is a statement.
Of course, Jiang Shan did have his own ideas. Before the birth of controlled heavy nuclear fusion technology, no one except Jiang Shan could produce silicon isotopes. So handing in a copy would not have any impact on Jiang Shan, but would increase his own weight.
After hearing this, the old man smiled, patted Jiang Shan's arm, and nodded: "Okay, okay."
Not long after, Cui Wei drove to the laboratory. After learning about the barite battery and silicon isotopes, he was stunned for a while.
Then he said tremblingly: "Boss, you dropped a nuclear bomb on me!"
He lit a cigarette and sighed, "This is a strategic, epoch-making technology. With the barite battery, Tesla and other bullshit are all just chickens and dogs!"
He took a deep puff of his cigarette and gritted his teeth, "Red Star Group is about to take off!"
Jiang Shan laughed loudly: "So, why do you think I insisted on acquiring Red Star? Venting my anger is just a side effect. Silicon isotopes are the real reason."
Cui Wei threw away the cigarette butt and crushed it with his foot: "I know what to do. Boss, you have to send me a team from your security team. There can't be any problems on the way to Beijing this time."
He added: "I hope to talk to President Li first."
Jiang Shan nodded: "He is a shareholder of Giant Capital. Red Star Group is a manufacturing group under Giant Capital. Of course, it is necessary to say hello to him. In addition, through him, we can first inform the Beijing side."
He added: "The security team is temporarily under your control. Leave in advance and inform them halfway."
Cui Wei nodded: "Just in case, I know."
Then he took the sample of the barite battery, a silicon isotope sample and Jiang Shan's security team and drove straight to the airport.
