Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 639: No Partiality

Hua Yourong and Yang Xiaole worked together to call Lao Huo.

The result was naturally a call from HK Electric.

I hope this matter ends here and there will be no more incidents targeting their projects in the future.

Yang Xiaole thought about it and finally agreed.

"Okay, tell him to tell him to look around. Maybe the item is near their factory!"

Hua Yourong looked at the words on the notebook and said them out loud.

We were almost done chatting, so he hung up the phone.

Seeing this, Hua Yourong smiled and said, "Okay, there's no need for me to go over and talk. How did you cause the power to go out?"

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. I have my own way. If I encounter this kind of thing again next time, I will not be polite."

After that, he said to her: "Okay, I'll go out for a while and will be back soon."

After saying hello, he left the villa.

I went directly to the vicinity of the power plant and found a place to dump the things there.

Now that I have said it, someone will definitely come looking for me.

Without waiting for the other party to come over, he just left the place.

Not long after he left, someone came and found the devices.

An hour later, the power system was restored.

……

"Is the matter settled?"

Hua Yourong looked at him coming back and greeted him with a smile.

Yang Xiaole nodded gently: "Well, it's done, let's see if they will call later."

Hua Yourong hummed when she heard this and ignored the matter.

Just wait for the results in the afternoon.

Several people sat there chatting.

Yang Xiaole looked at Su Ling and suddenly thought of a question: "By the way, Auntie, what research projects does Uncle have now?"

It has been almost three years since Hua's father entered the University of Hong Kong.

He had a preconceived notion before that Hua's father had not done anything significant, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

The reason he was able to enter the University of Hong Kong was because his English foundation was better than Luo Jinping's.

Luo Jinping has no foundation at all.

This will also be a huge challenge for Luo Jinping in the future.

Su Ling thought for a moment and said with a smile: "What kind of battery is he working on recently? I don't know the details!"

"Battery?"

Yang Xiaole was confused for a moment.

"Yeah, I don't really understand what he said. You can come back and ask him."

While I was thinking, a voice came from outside: "Ask me something!"

Hearing this, several people looked up and saw Hua's father coming in with a smile.

Seeing this, Su Ling smiled and said, "Why are you back? Isn't the car running?"

I just didn't hear any movement of the car.

Father Hua said with a smile, "I don't have classes in the morning! I just came back. Xiaole left in the afternoon, so I came to check on him! The car is dirty, and he's washing it outside!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole felt strange.

I always feel that Hua's father has something to ask me.

Research expenses?

This made him think of this problem instantly, and he felt that the two of them might have thought of the same thing.

After all, the company has many projects with Hong Kong Island.

However, now we mainly focus on majors that can be directly used by companies, such as finance, accounting, business administration and construction.

Thinking of this, he smiled tentatively and said, "Uncle, we were just talking about what project you are working on recently!"

Speaking of this, Hua's father became excited.

He smiled and said, "Oh, we are researching batteries now! We hope to find a battery with high energy density and long life."

Yang Xiaole thought about it, pondered for a while and asked: "So what direction are you focusing on now? I don't know much about this."

This made him think of lithium batteries.

The first thing that comes to mind when thinking of this thing is the electric cars of the future.

Many of the technologies used in later electric vehicles are from abroad, and they require patent fees.

This thing takes too long.

However, this thing is not only used in electric vehicles. As an important energy storage tool, it is widely used.

This is basically what mobile phones and computers use.

I don’t know if it has been researched yet.

And although this thing is called a lithium battery, it is also a very large category with many types of technologies.

Positive and negative electrode materials, electrolyte materials, active substances, diaphragms, battery casings...

Different materials will produce different effects when combined.

Each major company has its own unique technology.

Upon seeing this, Hua's father said, "We are currently researching nickel-cadmium batteries, which can be discharged twice..."

After listening for a while, Yang Xiaole realized that this was a rechargeable battery.

I don’t quite understand the rest.

After listening to the lecture, he pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle, have you ever thought about researching lithium batteries? Is there such technology now?"

"Lithium battery? This has already been studied. It was first proposed and studied by Gilbert N. Lewis in 1912. However, it was stopped due to technical reasons."

Hua's father thought for a moment and said.

Then he asked, “Are you interested in this?”

Yang Xiaole nodded slightly after hearing this: "Well, I am interested in this, not only lithium metal batteries, but also lithium-ion batteries. These are two research directions."

“You understand this, too?”

Hua's father was surprised.

Yang Xiaole smiled and shook his head when he heard this: "I don't understand, I just know a little bit. Uncle, are you interested in doing some research on lithium batteries? The company can provide some money!"

He remembered that it seemed like a scientist who was studying lithium batteries back then.

He also won the Nobel Prize for his contribution to lithium batteries, that was around 2019.

I don't remember the details clearly.

This made Hua's father laugh: "Yes! Of course. Are you really willing to invest?"

Yang Xiaole smiled and nodded: "Yes! However, this technological achievement can be shared with the university, but the commercial license can only be obtained by our company. According to the rules, we can pay a portion of the fees after the business is established."

Upon hearing this, Hua's father asked with a smile: "Then...how much can you invest?"

Yang Xiaole looked at the other person's expression and said with a smile: "Uncle, how much do you think is appropriate? I don't really understand this!"

Hearing this, Hua's father thought for a moment and stretched out his hands.

"Five hundred thousand, how about that? This money is mainly used to purchase raw materials for testing. Don't worry, I will definitely not spend it recklessly."

Yang Xiaole looked at the other person's expression.

Choked.

Is that all?
He thought Hua's father would ask for tens of millions.

But think about it, how much is the salary these days?

Lao Luo’s research is really too expensive, the battery side is a little better!
It’s mainly various materials, and the current prices of materials are still very cheap.

What is needed is repeated trials.

Thinking of this, he said to Hua Yourong, "Tiantian, uncle gives me 5 million yuan for research every year, so he can spend it however he wants."

Hua Yourong looked at her father.

She feels that with so many battery manufacturers already developing batteries, even if they are successful, the commercial results may not be good.

Yang Xiaole looked at her expression and roughly knew what she was thinking.

He smiled and said, "It's okay. This technology will be useful in the future. The battery is also a very important part of the mobile phone I'm planning."

He really wasn't kidding about this.

At least there is a huge demand for this on mobile phones.

He also remembered that the batteries used in the first generation of mobile phones did not seem to be lithium batteries.

Otherwise, the call wouldn't be limited to thirty minutes.

If you calculate this way, lithium batteries were not commercially used until the 1990s.

Thinking of this, he began to take it seriously.

This was something he hadn't noticed before.

Seeing this, Hua Yourong nodded and said, "Okay, our company will pay for it, so their company won't have to pay. But let's make it clear, you agreed to this."

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Don't worry. It's not your fault if there's any loss!"

When Hua's father heard that there was 5 million yuan in research funding a year, he was very happy. Research costs money.

The more money and the more people there are, the faster the progress.

"Don't worry, Xiaole. I will not take back a single cent of this money. I will use it all for scientific research. Then all the research will be able to progress in parallel."

Hua's father was there to guarantee it.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole hurriedly said, "Uncle, the focus is still on lithium batteries. Others can be studied. This is the top priority. This is really important to me. Also, if the money is not enough, you can add more money later! One of the important prerequisites is safety and secondary discharge. Safety is very important."

If this is used on a mobile phone, it will suddenly explode.

That's it.

The battery industry actually has a lot of potential. The CATL of later generations has a market value of over one trillion yuan.

Moreover, the research cost of five million a year may not be enough, and it will probably become a money-eating beast in the later stages.

"Okay! I understand. I will start researching and developing lithium batteries as soon as possible."

Yang Xiaole nodded, looked at Hua Yourong and said, "Sign the contract with HKU first to avoid any problems later."

Whether it is Lao Luo or Hua’s father.

These contracts are necessary, even if it means paying the school a high fee, the patent must be obtained.

It cannot be licensed to other companies.

Hua Yourong naturally agreed.

Su Ling looked at her happy husband, then at Yang Xiaole, and sighed softly.

In her opinion, Yang Xiaole did all this for Hua Yourong.

Her husband was so active both times that even she could see what he meant, but it was just because her daughter couldn't open her mouth.

But she couldn't attack the other person.

After things were settled, everyone was happy.

A few people chatted there for a while, and then two phone calls came in.

One is that Luo Jinping’s problem has been resolved, and the other is that the electricity and water supply to the construction site have been restored.

At noon, Hua's father accompanied him and drank a lot of wine.

After staying at home for a while in the afternoon, Hua Yourong sent him to the airport.

Say goodbye to each other at the airport.

After Hua Yourong left, he quietly appeared on a plane flying to the Japanese side, which had been checked in advance.

More than three hours later, the plane landed at the airport and Yang Xiaole got off the plane.

When he landed on the place where the devils were again, he did not run around.

Instead, he sneaked into Da Piaoliang's base here and used the same method he used on the Russians.

He intercepted a fighter jet and flew directly away from the island.

Fly towards Vladivostok.

It is normal for a big, beautiful plane to fly to the Russian side.

It just happened to create some tense atmosphere for them.

Aim at the approximate location, fly there, and do a low dive.

At this altitude, they will naturally be shot down.

With a loud noise in the sky, Yang Xiaole was already on land.

Without paying attention to the situation here, he ran straight towards Harbin.

It was late in the evening when Yang Xiaole finally arrived in Harbin.

It is almost November now, and the north is still as cold as ever.

He changed into a military coat and quietly appeared at the Corps headquarters.

With the certificate, he went straight to the Corps Guesthouse and found his team.

"Yang Xiaole! Why are you here so late?"

In the guesthouse, Gao Lin looked at Yang Xiaole in surprise.

"Platoon Leader Gao!"

Yang Xiaole looked at the other person and greeted him with a smile.

He knew Gao Lin would definitely come, as he had ranked among the top in the last test and had participated before.

In this kind of competition, usually only the platoon leader can participate, and company leaders basically will not participate.

It’s not that it’s not allowed, it’s just that the default is only level one.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "We are in Hulunbuir. It will take a few days for us to come here. I went to the train station as soon as I received the notice."

Hearing this, Gao Lin nodded slightly and said quickly: "I'll take you to get your number plate. As you said before, if we can split up our time, I'll sign you up for all five events in total. I was worried that you'd be too late! If you can't participate in the preliminaries, you won't be able to participate in the finals later."

Yang Xiaole nodded gently after hearing this: "Okay."

There are so many events in the competition and so many people participating that it is impossible to sign up for all of them.

Among the people who came were infantry, artillery, armored troops, engineers, communications troops, scouts, chemical defense troops, paratroopers, cavalry, and logistics professionals and technical soldiers.

There are competitions for each.

It is impossible to ask an infantryman to do the work of a paratrooper.

There were six people in the dormitory, and Gao Lin didn't introduce them since he didn't know any of them anyway.

Took him to get his own license plate.

After finishing his work, Gao Lin said, "By the way, the Corps is here to see you today!"

Yang Xiaole was puzzled for a moment: "Looking for me? Who?"

"I don't know! When they heard you weren't here, they left. I'll take you to them and tell them you're coming."

Gao Lin was talking there.

Yang Xiaole nodded gently after hearing this: "Okay!"

He didn't know who was looking for him.

Could it be something that happened last time I came here, or Feng Xue?

Follow the other party to an office.

"Comrade! We are from the 2th Regiment of the 13nd Division. This is Yang Xiaole. He just arrived! He was in Hulunbuir before and came a little late."

When they arrived at the place, Gao Lin talked to the other party.

Seeing this, the other party looked at the two of them and said, "Wait a minute! I'll make a phone call!"

After saying that, he picked up the phone on the table and made a call.

Then he hung up the phone and said, "Wait a moment, someone will come to pick you up."

Seeing him say that, Gao Lin agreed.

Yang Xiaole was wondering who was looking for him?

Not to mention.

But I still waited there quietly.

They arrived at the door and found a corner. Gao Lin gave him a cigarette and they started smoking there.

Then he said, "It's really close! The competition will be tomorrow. We will be separated then. By the way, how is the horse purchase going?"

Yang Xiaole took a puff of his cigarette and smiled, "It's okay! It shouldn't be a big problem. Maybe we don't have to wait until spring to go back."

Anyway, he didn't want to wait until spring to go back, it was too slow.

The two were chatting there.

As time went by, it got dark.

The two waited for half an hour before the car arrived.

A young man got out of a jeep and asked the two men, "Which one of you is Comrade Yang Xiaole?"

"I am!"

"Certificate!"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole handed his ID to the other party.

He took it, looked at it, returned it, and saluted: "Please come with us."

"Xiao Le, this..."

This made Gao Lin a little hesitant.

I originally thought that someone had something to do with him, but it seems that something is different from what I thought!

This reminded him of what happened to the other party when he came here before.

Yang Xiaole was also confused: "Can I ask who is looking for me?"

The other party nodded and said, "The other party asked me to convey: If you have any doubts, just tell me my last name is Wang, and you will understand."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole understood instantly.

The surname is Wang.

It’s so mysterious, there’s no one else except Old Man Wang.

Looking at the worried Gao Lin, he said, "It's okay, Platoon Leader Gao, you go back first."

Seeing this, Gao Lin could only nod slightly.

Watch him get in the car and leave.
