Chapter 342 Is it really a game made by aliens? !

   "Have you met that manager?"

"Yes."

  In the wasteland north of Xizhou City, a few wolf howls could be faintly heard in the distance.

   Standing next to the tent that was simply set up, Xavier held the phone in his hand, and his expression was full of respect.

   The person who is talking to him at this moment is Sigmar, the uncrowned king of the Bugra Free State and the president and chairman of the Firestone Group.

After    briefly inquired about the manager's situation, Sigma went on to ask what he was most concerned about.

   "Where's Dillon?"

   Xavier said heavily.

   "Dillon...dead."

   There was a brief silence on the communication channel.

  Sigma asked slowly.

   "How did you die?"

   Xavier answered truthfully.

   "People from the New Alliance said that he died on the battlefield and was buried in the trenches near the pine forest..."

When    said these words, Xavier's mood was full of tension.

  Although the Great Rift Valley is the overlord of the Bugra Free State, the Legion is the main trading partner of the Flint Group.

   He didn't know what agreement the boss and the legion had reached, but his intuition told him that Dillon's identity should not be simple.

   But fortunately, the boss is a reasonable person and didn't put his anger on his head.

   took a moment to calm down, the voice on the other end of the communication channel continued to ask.

"……trade agreement?"

  Xavier said ashamedly.

   "No agreement... They only agreed to give us certain preferential tariffs, and only for non-arms products. As for exploration rights and mining rights, they do not plan to discuss with us."

   "How strong are they?"

   There was a hint of sharpness in that voice, like a sharp blade.

   Xavier trembled slightly, lowered his voice subconsciously, and said cautiously.

"They have about two thousand-person teams, not many, but very strong individuals. The other is weapons. Although their equipment is not advanced, they are sufficient in number, and the design is very special... The Ya clan is not wronged to lose. ."

The other end of the    communication channel was silent for a while.

   seemed lost in thought.

   After a long time, his boss spoke slowly.

   "I see, you come back first, I have other tasks for you."

   Xavier breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully.

   "As ordered."

  …

   It has been three days since the auction ended.

real world.

  Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, a laboratory is working overtime.

   "...how...how did this happen?"

   Staring at the picture on the computer screen, Academician Liu Yiping's face was full of incredible expressions.

  A soft artificial SEI film with a thickness of less than 100 nanometers is like a magical barrier.

Yes.

   That series of magical properties is like magic.

  It has extraordinary mechanical strength, high stability and a single ion channel.

The high electronegativity on the open metal sites in the    coordination polymer channels can effectively improve the Li transfer number in the composite film, as well as the conductivity of individual ion channels.

   And this series of exquisite designs enables it to effectively suppress the production of side reactions, adjust the deposition law of Li+ on the negative electrode, and effectively inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites, thereby maintaining the stability of the positive and negative electrodes of the battery.

   is simply incredible!

   "...Professor, the data from the charge-discharge cycle group has been analyzed." A researcher wearing glasses came over, his face with dark circles also had a ghostly expression.

   looked away from the screen, Professor Liu Yiping looked at his student and said immediately.

   "Bring it to me and see!"

   "Here..." The researcher handed out the USB flash drive.

   Three days is certainly not enough time for the entire research team to read all the documents.

   But it was enough for them to use the most advanced equipment to restore the [No. 404 artificial SEI membrane] in the laboratory according to the method given in the data.

   After the film is made, the next step is to test the performance of the film.

The scientific research dogs in the    project team quickly made a simple lithium battery model, using lithium sheets as the negative electrode.

  These materials are not difficult to obtain, and the most important thing in the whole laboratory is electrochemical-related things.

   After disassembling the bagged battery at the end of the cycle and transferring it to the observation area under non-air conditions through the in-situ transfer box, they quickly obtained the 3D image of the sample surface under the scanning electron microscope and the 2D projection under the transmission electron microscope.

   And all, to get more information about that film.

   These jobs may seem simple, but in fact they take a lot of time.

   In the past three days, his research team did nothing and devoted all their energy to the 10 G data.

   In fact, after getting such a result, there is no need to continue the project they did before...

   Inserting the USB flash drive into the computer, looking at the image on the screen, a wry smile suddenly appeared on Academician Liu Yiping's face.

   squeezed the slightly sour brows, and sat in the office chair, muttering and repeating those words.

   "...how exactly did it happen."

   The researcher standing by did not speak, but he obviously wanted to ask this question too.

   Three days ago, when they first got the document, everyone in the entire project team thought it was a joke.

   An open question in academia.

   Even at the last academic conference, they were still discussing the direction that might be feasible, and whether the lithium battery road is worth continuing.

  Results Now, suddenly someone claims to have found the standard answer.

   And it uses a direction that no one has ever tried.

   This kind of bizarre thing, no matter how you think about it, is like an April Fool's joke.

   This is not an impossible question, but it is logically difficult to establish.

   If you use existing technology to design a product according to specific needs, whether it is a weapon or a water bottle, it is not difficult to keep it secret.

   However, research in frontier fields is completely different.

   This is not an issue of publicity or disclosure at all, but it is impossible to do it with the door closed.

   After entering the 20th century, scientific research has become a systematic thing.

   The role of an individual in the system is more like a "wafer" on a CPU than a CPU.

  In addition to the occasional one or two geniuses who "work behind closed doors and go out of the way" in the field of mathematics, research in most fields is already "corporal warfare".

  Although there are also teams who will hold back the staged results and release nuclear bombs in order to win the top spot in their own research direction, but what their colleagues are doing is basically impossible to hide.

   "...the detailed reaction mechanism is described on page 27 of Document 13, but we did not observe it on the equipment."

   "Is it unobservable or not." The old gentleman asked in a rigorous way.

  The researcher hesitated, then slowly spoke.

"Precisely...the former. Our device was able to observe the deposition of lithium dendrites on the control, but how did Li+ move through that film...we couldn't capture its path, and we may need to target this Seed membrane materials to redesign a set of experimental methods."

   "On our own, it's going to take a long time...unless we can find the research team that came up with these results."

   "But it's too strange. I just looked through the records of the last two academic conferences, and I couldn't find any discussions on this research direction. The only ones that are similar... If you look closely, they are very different."

   At this time, the researcher sitting at the table next to him suddenly sighed.

   "I don't know which big guy suddenly dropped the nuclear bomb."

   "Is there still such a great person in the field of materials science?"

   "I counted with my fingers, but I couldn't figure out who it was..."

   "What do we do next? Are the previous projects still going on?"

   "I guess we should change direction... It will take a while for the industry to fully digest this thing, let alone raise new questions."

   "Hey...Three years, I've been busy in vain. Fortunately, I finished writing my graduation thesis a few years ago."

   "It's not completely in vain, and some phased results are still very interesting. But the SEI film... There is really no way to go."

   Listening to the discussion of the students, Professor Liu Yiping did not speak, and he was also thinking about a lot of things in his heart.

   At this time, the phone on the table rang.

   He picked up the phone and went outside.

   The call was connected, and a fiery voice immediately came from the other end of the phone.

   "Old Liu, what happened?"

   Liu Yiping said.

   "That membrane has already been made."

   Hearing this sentence, the voice on the other end of the phone was obviously more excited.

   "Does it work?"

   Liu Yiping sighed: "It's more than easy to use... It just shocked me."

  Strictly speaking, even the popular lithium-ion batteries on the market can benefit from this technology.

   And if a brand new battery is designed for the pure lithium negative electrode, it will not be technically difficult.

   Electrolyte and cathode materials and separators, the industrial chain of these components is readily available.

   is equivalent to changing the industrial chain of the positive electrode of the battery on the basis of the original industrial chain, adding an additional production line of "coating", and this technology can be used immediately.

   He can even imagine the crazy expressions on the faces of friends in the industry after learning about this technology.

   That must be wonderful.

  The old man on the other end of the phone continued to ask: "What about the cost? Is it difficult to industrialize?"

   Liu Yiping replied quickly.

"The specific cost is the problem of the industry. Laboratory preparation and industrial preparation are two different things. However, I looked at the process flow given in the document. According to my understanding of the industry, it should not be very difficult to make. Disaster."

   "That's great! Hahaha, you really worked so hard this time!" The voice on the other end of the phone was filled with obvious joy.

   "You're welcome, this is what I should do," after a pause, Academician Liu suddenly said, "By the way... I have a request, I don't know if it is appropriate to ask."

  The old man on the other end of the phone said immediately.

   "Please tell me! If I can help, I will definitely help!"

"If possible, I'd like to meet the team that developed the data, or the person in charge." After a pause, Academician Liu omitted the complicated technical details and continued, "There are many things , I want to ask him for advice."

  The industry is interested in that film, and he is interested in how this film was made and how he came up with it.

   Know what it is, know why it is.

   It doesn’t take much time to copy a homework, but if you want to understand the homework and understand the problem-solving ideas, it’s not that easy.

   For a researcher seeking truth, results, methods and ideas are indispensable.

   In three days, they only understood half of the information.

   And the remaining half, it may take three months, or even three years to fully understand.

   Academic progress is not only the accumulation of results, but also the improvement of tools and methods while obtaining results.

   He wanted to have a good chat with the guy who beat them.

  Academic masters are teachers, and he believes that this will benefit a lot.

  The other end of the phone was silent for a while.

   "Lao Liu... If it's something else, forget it. I'm afraid I can't help you with this."

   Academician Liu hesitated and said seriously.

   "Can you give me a reason?"

   The other end of the phone sighed.

   "...After reading those materials, how do you feel?"

   Academician Liu is straightforward.

   "Unbelievable."

   asked the old man.

   "How incredible is it?"

   Academician Liu was silent for a while, then said with a light cough.

   "...Don't laugh at me when I say it."

  The old man said with a smile.

   "Tell me, your opinion is important to us too."

   After hesitating for a moment, Academician Liu finally expressed his truest thoughts.

   Although it was a joke.

   "...It looks like it was made by aliens."

  The phone was silent for a while.

   Academician Liu is slightly embarrassed.

   Just when he was about to say something to ease the embarrassment, a sigh came from the other end of the phone.

   "...I couldn't make it clear on the phone, but I was planning to come over as well. You wait for me for a while."

After   , a busy tone came from the other end of the phone.

   Academician Liu, who was holding the phone, was stunned for a moment, and his expression gradually became strange.

   Is it really an alien?

   It's not so ridiculous...

  …

   "...It seems that it's not just us who think so! Academician Liu also thinks that these technologies are not like the research teams on Earth have come up with."

   "Speaking of which, Academician Gao, who we consulted last time, seemed to have said so."

   "It appears that our initial guess was correct."

   "I didn't expect the third type of contact to unfold in such a form, it's incredible!"

  Somewhere, in the office, the voices of discussion are lively.

   Just now, the leader of the task force received a call from Academician Liu and has now gone to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

  According to the old team leader, the "reverse work" of the film material was carried out quite smoothly, and the cost was within the acceptable range, and it would not take long to see the product.

   Hearing this news, everyone in the task force is very happy, which shows that their work has paid off.

   "By the way, is there any news from Academician Gao?" A colleague suddenly said.

   The colleague who was sitting next to me answered.

   "Academician Gao? You mean the mining expert we consulted before?"

   "Yes, didn't Lao Li give him the website? I don't know if he went to see it."

   "I didn't ask, so it's not easy to ask."

   At this time, a staff member said.

   "I think our strategy is still too conservative. We should propose to our superiors to control the players."

   This is indeed one of the options.

   However, his proposal did not get the support of many people.

   soon someone said.

   "I object, what about the risk? Have you considered it?"

   "What's the risk if you get the job done right?" the man retorted, "And don't you think it's more efficient this way?"

"I don't think at all, the efficiency you think is only what you think. And the people trust their own organizations, the organizations trust their own people, and what does it mean to control people? Do you not trust the organization, or do you not trust the people? This kind of thinking There's a big problem!"

   More than a big problem, it is simply reactionary!

   However, considering that this comrade also had good intentions, he just said this out of anxiety, so the colleague who held the dissenting opinion did not take it so seriously.

   Seeing that the office was about to argue about that old-fashioned topic again, the man with the Chinese character face coughed lightly, interrupting the argument between the two.

   "...Okay, let's not discuss things that have already been discussed. The above means to be cautious and maintain the status quo. The team leader and I also have the same idea."

   "If you rashly intervene in the game process, you not only make mistakes of instructing experts and interventionists, but also easily lead to uncontrollable results."

   "Since the current rules are beneficial to us, what we need to do now is not to change the rules and turn our tables, but to maintain the rules and maintain our advantages."

   looked around at the colleagues present, the man with the national character continued.

   "Let's talk about a practical topic, this 'technology introduction' actually exposed the problem of our lack of preparation."

"The platform for purchasing foreign exchange was opened a long time ago. The other party actually gave us a long time to prepare, but at that time, no one paid enough attention to it, so we rushed to the last day to focus on purchasing, and it was embarrassing that we couldn't buy it. Instead, the speculators who entered the market early took the opportunity to make a fortune.”

   Originally, this transaction should be handed over to a central enterprise with a state-owned background, so that the transformation of the technology can be started immediately after the introduction of the technology.

   But time was too rushed.

   In such a short time, it was too late to connect with specific companies.

   They can only be in a hurry, buy the technology back first, and then decide how to use it, specifically which unit and which person in charge.

   There are too many things involved behind this.

  The man with glasses nodded.

   "Indeed...we can't be crammed every time. Especially with this precedent, the next time there is news, speculators active on the trading platform will definitely push the price up."

   The staff member who proposed to control the players earlier said with a sigh.

   "If it's just a bit more expensive, it's fine. The problem that money can solve is not a problem. I'm afraid that the trading will be temporarily suspended like last time, and even money can't buy it."

   The traders who traded before also nodded and said.

   "That's right, and with that kind of way of increasing holdings by rushing ducks to the shelves, blind people can see who is buying. If I were a speculator, I couldn't help but come up and cut a crop."

   If it is a slow increase, it is impossible to see who is buying.

   But with the stance yesterday, they didn't even need to use a pen to calculate how many cards the opponent had in their hand.

"...Our current silver coin reserve is still 2 million, which is still too low. My suggestion is to set up a 'technology introduction fund' and recruit a few professional traders from the financial system, which will be stable for a long time. increase."

   "Is it just to build foreign exchange reserves?" the colleague sitting at the desk next to him joked.

   the trader said with a smile.

   "Why not? Although we don't know what they need, they have the technology we need. If you understand the players as labor exports, we should also pay the workers who help us earn 'foreign exchange'."

The    Chinese character face man's eyes lit up.

   "It makes sense, this suggestion is good, I will write it in the report and report it to my superiors!"

   Seeing that his opinion was taken seriously, the trader also opened the chat box and continued talking.

"...Let's talk about it, not only to establish a normal foreign exchange purchase mechanism, but also to clarify the method of foreign exchange purchase. For example, the money for introducing technology cannot always go to state funds. We have to encourage those who benefit from technology. A virtuous circle can be formed by taking part of the profits to buy technology.”

   On the surface, the money they buy silver coins is sent to players, but in fact it is subsidized by companies that acquire technology.

   You can do this once or twice, but if you do this for a long time, there will definitely be problems.

   Frequent micro-manipulation, not only will there be opinions above, but also opinions below.

   Everyone, you gave advice every word and every word. The man with the national character face meticulously took notes. It didn't take long to fill up several pages, and the pen was smoking.

   The specific details of this "extraterrestrial civilization technology introduction fund" have to be decided after detailed communication with other departments, but the general direction can be determined.

   Looking at the book full of notebooks, the man with the Chinese character face was filled with emotion, but a strange thought suddenly occurred to him.

   By the way, is Aguang's usual work like this?

   Staring at the forum, taking notes, and playing games.

   If this is the case, it seems that the planning of this "Wasteland OL" is really not so good...

  …

   When the relevant departments of various countries were meeting to discuss countermeasures, the official website forum of "Wasteland OL" was busy.

   "Woooooo, brother Aguang, when will your bank exchange open?"

   "Hey! It's been locked for three days, so the network fluctuations won't last so long, right?"

   "I'm crying, if we don't open the market again, we won't be able to open the pot at home! QAQ"

   "Laugh to death, I almost believed it!"

The day before the expansion had just ended, any player with silver coins in their pockets, as long as they were not too greedy to hold back, or who insisted on learning from other people's highs and lows, and repeatedly jumping to earn the price difference, were basically naive. Going crazy with that wave.

   Can't open the pot?

nonexistent.

   Even a newbie who has only a few hundred silver coins in his pocket has made a profit of ten or twenty thousand by taking advantage of the price increase.

  Although this means that you have to go to the game and move the bricks hard, but it is all worth it!

  After the war is over, all industries are waiting to be prospered. It is time to work hard for production and consolidate the fruits of victory. How can we spend money on pleasure?

   For the Alliance!

Awesome!

  Browsing the official website forum, Chu Guang was very relieved to see that his little players had just come off the front line and ran to the construction site non-stop.

   also shared the experience of working on the forum as if showing off.

   This is really something to show off.

   In the past, the qualification for the beta test was worthless, but now a helmet is worth a million if it is less, and it is even more limitless if it is more.

   Of course, "going to the construction site" is just an image.

  There are still many ways to make money in wasteland OL.

  Although there are a lot of players who move bricks on the construction site, more players still take their loot to run businesses in nearby survivor settlements such as Honghe Town.

   In order to let his little players have something to do, Chu Guang also defied all opinions, and under the surprised eyes of old Charlie, Luca and other logistics officials, approved an infrastructure plan with a budget of 200 million silver coins!

   This plan covers the railroad of the new alliance, as well as the construction of Dawn City. Relevant resources will give priority to companies run by players, followed by companies run by NPCs.

  I believe that little players will be grateful for their generosity!

   As for the silver coin trading platform that was suspended due to "network fluctuations", Chu Guang did not rush to open it.

   On the one hand, players do not have any spare money in their pockets, and all those involved in the transaction at this time are speculators.

   On the one hand, the “big players” in reality are still studying their strategies for the next stage, and it will take a while for new funds to enter the market.

   At this time, the opening of the market has no meaning except for those speculators to cut leeks.

   Whether it is a cloud player or a player, it takes time.

   And Chu Guang is also waiting for an opportunity.

   He is waiting for the technology in the game to be projected into reality, and waiting for the seeds he sown to grow a sprout.

   This shouldn’t take long.

   After all, it was a technique that he personally selected according to actual needs.

   Not to mention the objects he cooperated with, who came from the same place as those excellent little players...
