I failed a course, and the system became my study supervisor.

Chapter 79 Colonel-level Officers
That’s military industry!

Xu Ling never thought that his ABS would one day be favored by the military industry and used in military research.

The best idea Xu Ling had ever had was to be acquired by Xiaojiang Company and become rich overnight.

"Haha, what do you feel?"

Zhou Chengkang asked with a smile.

"Hmm...excited, thrilled. ...Hmm, thank you, Dean Zhou."

Xu Ling was a little incoherent.

"Why thank me? I'm just a messenger."

Zhou Chengkang looked at Xu Ling with eyes full of admiration.

In the end, with his head full of surprises, Xu Ling didn't know how he left Zeng Boyuan's office.

……

Three days later, people from China's military industry arrived and were waiting in President Zhou's office.

"dong dong dong"

Xu Ling knocked on the office door with a nervous mood.

The faint sounds of laughter and chatter from inside the door faded, and then Zhou Chengkang's voice came:

"Enter!"

"Hello, Dean Zhou!"

Xu Ling first greeted Zhou Chengkang, then looked at a dignified middle-aged man in military uniform next to him. Not knowing what to call him, he just said hello, Chief.

"Haha, it's not wrong to call you Chief. This is Major Zheng Lifeng, who is in charge of the UAV project at the Chinese military industry."

Zhou Chengkang said with a smile, "And this one over here is Lieutenant Gao Yuan."

Only then did Xu Ling notice that there was a young soldier standing behind Major Zheng.

"Okay, let's cut the polite talk and get straight to the point."

Zheng Lifeng said with full energy.

Xu Ling's expression immediately became serious.

"Comrade Xu Ling, you should be clear about the purpose of our visit this time."

Zheng Lifeng's tone sounded like he was making a statement.

"I understand. It's about the ABS system."

"Haha, since you already know, I won't beat around the bush. We want to acquire your technology."

“What are the specific details of the acquisition?”

Xu Ling asked in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"Gao Yuan, tell Comrade Xu Ling about this."

Zheng Lifeng was not surprised and waved behind him.

Gao Yuan then took out a document from his briefcase and placed it on the table, explaining:

"Our general intention is to buy out the company for 300 million yuan. Comrade Xu Ling, please consider it."

300 million!
For Xu Ling, a college student, it was indeed shocking enough.

But Xu Ling was not scared, he had enough knowledge about his ABS.

"Hmm... isn't 300 million a bit low? My technology improves the battery life by % compared to the current ones."

Xu Ling said tentatively.

"Yes, from a commercial perspective, this technology does deserve a better price. But Comrade Xu Ling, you also have to think about the country.

We can’t give you dividends, and giving you a large lump sum at once is unrealistic.”

Zheng Lifeng said slowly.

But three million is totally incomparable to its commercial value!

Xu Ling said tactfully, "Is there still room for improvement?"

"Five million is the limit. The funding for our drone project is really tight recently." Zheng Lifeng said helplessly.

He also wanted to pay more money. Didn't he know how good Xu Ling's skills were?
It's just that conditions don't allow it. Most of the country's recent military appropriations have been used to support new-generation destroyers, carrier-based aircraft and other technologies.

Looking at Zheng Lifeng's sincere eyes, Xu Ling believed that this was indeed the case. A colonel-level officer would not play tricks on a student like himself.

At the same time, Xu Ling was also thinking about another aspect, that is, if he sold ABS to commercial users, could he really get more benefits?
All the well-known drone companies are business giants. Can we really be treated fairly when doing business with them?

I am weak and alone, so is it possible to get a share of the profits during the transaction? In the end, the buyout price may just be slightly higher.

Furthermore, the ultimate goal of commercial companies is profit. Once they master this technology, will it truly benefit society?
I'm afraid this is difficult.

After thinking for a long time, Xu Ling finally understood.

No matter what, handing over the technology to China's military industry will ultimately be used to enhance China's military strength.

Moreover, China's military industry is indeed sincere. A school-level officer comes here in person to discuss relevant matters. What else is there to say?
"Commander, I am willing to hand over the technology to China's military industry and contribute to China's military modernization."

After figuring it out, Xu Ling said loudly.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Zheng Lifeng said three good words in a row, and his slightly frowned brows instantly relaxed.

"Comrade Xu Ling, I'm glad you agree. But we have one final suggestion."

Zheng Lifeng continued.

"You say."

Xu Ling was a little confused.

"We've read the relevant papers on your technology, and they're excellent. However, your paper didn't explore the stability of batteries in extreme weather conditions.

I would like to suggest that you continue researching in this direction. If you find any results later, we are willing to acquire you.”

Extreme weather?

The first thing Xu Ling thought of was low temperature.

The stability of a single lithium battery at low temperatures cannot be guaranteed, let alone the ABS battery system composed of PEMFC, supercapacitors and lithium batteries.

Modern military missions cannot afford any mistakes.

But the school had never supported his battery project before, so Xu Ling was a little unsure:
"I know this stability is very important, but I don't have the conditions to do the research right now."

"Don't worry about that. The school has already coordinated and will form a research team with you as the core researcher to specifically tackle this problem."

At this time, Dean Zhou on the side made a guarantee.

As expected of a military industry, the school’s research focus can be changed at will.

"Also, our National Defense University will also be involved in this research, so you can fully communicate with each other."

Zheng Lifeng added.

In this case, Xu Ling had no problem and agreed solemnly.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Yuan drafted a new contract and printed it out on the spot using the printer in the office.

Xu Ling signed his name without any hesitation.

The method for transferring the funds was also finalized. The acquisition included not only the patent, but also all relevant experimental data related to the technology.

Xu Ling wants to ensure that his technology can be reproduced.

Finally, what surprised Xu Ling was that the five million was the actual five million after tax.

"Comrade Xu Ling, please be careful not to over-publicize this technology acquisition."

Zheng Lifeng reminded before leaving.

"Don't worry, Chief!"

Xu Ling nodded confidently.

Since this was a military matter, Xu Ling naturally knew what was important. If the military industry had expressed its intention to acquire the company earlier, the paper would not have been published.

Although the paper does not present all the technical content about ABS, it at least reveals an idea of ​​system management.
