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

Chapter 83 Another five million!

After a large amount of data simulation and testing, the research team found the limit temperature of each of the three modules.

Among them, supercapacitors have the best low-temperature resistance and can barely operate at -50°C.

However, PEMFC has the worst low-temperature resistance. Its working efficiency is greatly reduced at -10℃, and it cannot start normally at -20℃.

Xu Ling had anticipated this phenomenon. The development of supercapacitors preceded that of PEMFC, and the corresponding technologies and processes were more sophisticated.

It now appears that PEMFC's low-temperature resistance is the weak link in the entire ABS "barrel." Finding a way to increase the PEMFC's maximum operating temperature has become the key to the entire research.

In response to this, Zhou Chengkang specially convened a discussion meeting for all members.

With the collective wisdom, there are now three paths to try.

First, change the cooling and heating modes of PEMFC.

The current PEMFC is water-cooled, using water to transfer heat. Some people have suggested using a hybrid of air and water cooling.

Second, start from the properties of PEMFC itself, such as designing the flow field and replacing materials.

Third, similar to the electromagnetic induction module for lithium batteries, an auxiliary heating module can also be installed.

The three ideas each have their own merits, and Xu Ling is not sure which one is better.

Therefore, the research team split into three groups again and tried out the plan simultaneously.

Xu Ling preferred to start with the flow field and materials, and decisively started the experiment with a team.

……

The road to development of things is tortuous, but the future is bright.

It took a month, and although we encountered many difficulties and bottlenecks along the way, all three research directions were successful and achieved remarkable results.

Based on the flow field and materials, the lowest operating temperature of PEMFC has reached -50°C. Similar progress has been made in the other two directions, and the lowest temperatures are comparable.

After achieving the results, Xu Ling was excited and suddenly had an idea to combine the idea of ​​changing the hot and cold modes with the idea of ​​flow field.

This action brings the minimum operating temperature directly to -60℃!
However, under -60℃ conditions, the efficiency of PEMFC only dropped by 30%!

This is a breakthrough.

At the same time, if the shortcomings are solved, do we still need to worry about the low-temperature resistance of the entire ABS?

Of course not.

The research team then completed the thermal system management of the entire ABS in less than half a month, successfully reducing the ABS's minimum operating temperature to -60°C.

The laboratory was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

"Now we can report our results to the higher-ups and apply for the first round of funding."

Zhou Chengkang said radiantly.

The first batch of funds?
Xu Ling asked curiously, "How much money is there?"

"This number!"

Zhou Chengkang spread out his five fingers.

"Five million?"

Xu Ling asked tentatively.

"five million!"

Zhou Chengkang waved his hand and said proudly.

Another five million!

Xu Ling was full of excitement.

You have to know that the research during this period was just a supplement to the first generation of ABS, but I didn’t expect to get the same amount as last time.

So how much money can I get?
Xu Ling looked at Zhou Chengkang expectantly.

Zhou Chengkang immediately understood and said, "Maybe you will be given 800,000 yuan, and the rest will go to the entire experimental group."

Although 800,000 is a lot less than 5 million, Xu Ling is already content.

Without the research group organized by the school, it would be almost impossible for me to achieve such results on my own, unless I let the system handle the entire process and just do a "localization" myself.

But how many points would that cost? Xu Ling didn't even dare to think about it.

However, the project achieved a major breakthrough, and Xu Ling felt infinitely moved, but also a little lost.

It feels like watching your own children grow up confused and at a loss.

Because after this, the research team can continue to study other extreme conditions, and they can completely draw on the temperature research without any major difficulties. In this way, Xu Ling can completely fade out of the curtain.

It feels like the work is done and he leaves without seeking fame or success.

This is indeed the case. By the end of December, Xu Ling no longer needed to go to the laboratory.

Although he is still a researcher in name, as long as no major difficulties arise, Xu Ling does not need to worry about the affairs of the research team.

But what should we do next?

Xu Ling hasn't made up his mind yet.

……

After returning to his normal university life, Xu Ling began to take an interest in the small games he had participated in designing.

When it comes to promoting the mini-game, Yang Chaojie fully utilized his abilities as a social terrorist.

His offline promotion ability even impressed Xu Ling.

Any student caught by Yang Chaojie on the road, no matter whether he was in the lower or higher grades, would not be allowed to leave without playing a game for five minutes.

Yang Chaojie will stick to him like a dog-skin plaster until he is willing to cooperate.

This kid has a bright future as a salesperson!
Xu Ling was a little amused and helpless.

But it is obvious that such publicity is surprisingly effective.

As of now, with less than ten days left until the final review, the number of views of the mini-game has remained at the top of the list, almost three times that of the second place, and the number of votes is also far ahead.

At the same time, students' evaluation of the mini-games was mostly positive.

Here are the comments from the voting section:

Although the game mechanics are simple, it feels good to play, much more fun than Penguin Games.

[Except for being a little speechless about the person who did the promotion, there is nothing else to complain about.]

【+1】

……

At the same time, among the many comments, Xu Ling saw a different one:

[Who in my family understands this?! I just finished my exam and I'm not very good at it to begin with, so I want to play some games to relax.

Then I saw that “GPA dropped 20%” and it was like the sky was falling…]

"Is there anything you want to say?"

Xu Ling teased Yang Chaojie.

"Fun! Do you understand?"

Yang Chaojie showed no remorse.

"By the way, what's the reward for first place?"

Xu Ling asked by the way.

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Chaojie said, "Well... a mechanical keyboard."

what?
Just a keyboard?
"You've been busy for a whole semester just for a keyboard?"

Xu Ling found it a little difficult to understand.

I worked hard for a whole semester and earned a total of 5.8 million yuan.

"What do you know? It's all for the love of it!"

Yang Chaojie raised his head and said generously.

Do you love it?
Xu Ling thought about the time when he first started researching ABS.

At that time, it seemed that there was no real benefit.

So, do you also love it?
Love physics? Love math?
Are you passionate about academics? Are you passionate about scientific research?
Xu Ling was a little undecided for a moment.

It seems that I didn’t consider this problem at the beginning, but it was only because the system was pushing it from behind.

This is the case when studying the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, and it seems to be the same when studying the ABS system.

Do you really love it?

Or are you immersed in the bubble of vanity brought about by scientific research achievements?
