Chapter 298 We Need Your Help

Resting at home until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lu Zhou accompanied Xiaotong on the journey back to school.

After several hours of running around, the Harmony finally entered Jinling Station.

After getting off the high-speed rail, Lu Zhou originally planned to take the subway to school, but before he got out of the high-speed rail station, Old Tang called.

"Where have you been?"

Lu Zhou: "At the station, ready to transfer to the subway, what's wrong?"

Old Tang smiled and said, "Don't transfer to the subway, just come out."

Lu Zhouhan said: "Shouldn't you come to pick me up? It's just a few steps away from the subway, so I'm so sorry."

"Ha, is there anything embarrassing about you?" Old Tang said with a smile, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, no matter how embarrassing you are, save this and talk to Academician Xu, I don't have that much face Embarrass you."

Hearing Academician Xu, Lu Zhou was a little surprised.

Jinling University has only one Academician Xu, and that is President Xu of Jinling University. President Jinda personally came to pick him up. Although he is no longer flattered, there are still many accidents.

Lu Zhou thought about it for a long time, but he didn't remember what big news he had recently.

As for the lithium dendrite paper published in Nature, it was half a year ago.

It seems that this time, there is probably something that I really want to find myself.

...

Without making the two professors wait for a long time, Lu Zhou took Xiaotong out of the high-speed rail station,

At the main entrance, I saw two black business cars parked there one after the other. Even if the license plate number is wrong, it will never be wrong.

Confused by the reception lineup, Xiaotong poked his brother's arm nervously, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, who are these people?"

Lu Zhou simply replied: "Your principal, you don't know the others."

Xiaotong: "Oh...ah?!"

While the two were talking, the car door opened. Academician Xu and Professor Tang got out of the car and greeted Lu Zhou with a smile.

"Professor Lu, it's time to wait for you."

Holding Academician Xu's hand, Lu Zhou smiled and said, "I've kept you waiting for a long time, don't come here without any problems."

"Don't come here without any problems," Academician Xu smiled, and after a pause, he looked at Xiaotong who was huddled behind Lu Zhou, and said in a kind tone, "Student Lu Xiaotong, your brother and I have something to talk about. How about I ask Teacher Hou to send you to school?"

Mr. Hou is probably the driver of the car behind. He should not be a professor, but a teacher of the administrative post, and his rank is unknown.

Obviously this time the school knew that besides Lu Zhou, his younger sister would also be returning to school, so they sent two cars here. Such kindness made Lu Zhou even more sure that his alma mater had something to trouble him.

As for Xiaotong, at the moment the whole person is in a state of bewilderment.

Although she knew that her brother was awesome, she still didn't expect that the principal would remember the name of one of her students.

Subconsciously glanced at Lu Zhou, seeing the elder brother nodding, Xiaotong dragged the suitcase and walked obediently to the car behind.

A group of people got into the car, Lu Zhou and Academician Xu sat in the back row, and asked when the car started on the road.

"Academician Xu, can you tell me the truth? What's the matter?"

"It's actually not a big deal," Xu Yuan continued after a pause, "Just a month ago, the Ministry of Science and Technology of Huaguo, in conjunction with several ministries and commissions, issued a new energy technology research and development support program, which established a new energy technology research and development plan. A series of development directions, including the new generation of battery technology. In response to the call of the national energy development strategy and the outline of the 13th Five-Year Plan, Jinda is also doing our part to carry the banner.”

"The Municipal Bureau also supports the decision of Shangjing, and intends to build a high-tech development park along the subway line in Jinling University City to integrate the human resources of Jinling's major universities. The leaders of Shangjing attach great importance to this matter, and specially dispatched a working group come down."

"The leader of the working group is the leader of the Energy Bureau. He heard that you will be returning to Princeton after the Chinese New Year. He specially placed the first stop of his work schedule here for you."

As he spoke, Academician Xu looked at Lu Zhou and smiled friendlyly.

After listening, Lu Zhou had a reaction.

Isn't this a big deal?

After complaining in his heart, he continued, "Did he say what he saw me for?"

Academician Xu said with a smile: "I don't know the details. But I assure you, it must be a good thing."

...

Of course, Lu Zhou believed Academician Xu's words.

After the group returned to school, Lu Zhou met Academician Li and an expected person in an office in the teaching and research building of the Institute of Chemistry.

In Boston, they met once.

"Professor Lu, we meet again." Looking at Lu Zhou with a smile on his face, Lu Kaimin stretched out his right hand.

Lu Zhou shook hands with him with a smile, and said, "Hi, Director Lu."

When he was in Boston, Mr. Lu once visited him in his personal capacity and asked him for his opinion on the development direction of lithium battery technology.

Although Mr. Lu was visiting as a public servant this time, and he was still in the country, he did not show a lot of official authority.

Whether it's his really amiable character, or out of respect for an internationally renowned scholar, he can put down his dignity and treat a young man in his twenties with an equal attitude, which is enough to prove that his bearing is not ordinary.

"Don't call me Director, just call me Mr. Lu." Letting go of his hand, Mr. Lu said with a smile, "Originally I planned to visit you in Jiangling, but there are still many arrangements in the working group and I really can't leave. So I can only trouble you to come to Jinling, and I hope that Professor Lu will not see you outside."

Lu Zhou smiled slightly: "Where, I just want to visit my alma mater."

Lu Lao nodded, paused for a moment, put on a slightly serious expression, looked at Lu Zhou and said seriously: "After talking with you in Boston last time, I returned to Shangjing and the leaders of the higher-level ministries and commissions responded to your request. Opinions. After research and discussion by the expert group, we finally determined that lithium-sulfur batteries are indeed the most suitable choice.”

Lu Zhou was not surprised by Hua Guo's decision.

Compared with lithium-air batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries are undoubtedly more realistically possible. The general direction formulated by the state means that more funds can be implemented in this field, instead of being wasted on some subjects that have no practical significance except publishing "Nature" and "Science".

Of course, Lu Zhou would not naively think that his own opinions influenced the country's decision-making. As far as the only impact is concerned, what I said in Boston is at best a vote for lithium-sulfur batteries.

And he was also very happy to see that his vote had worked.

Lu Zhou said happily: "Lithium-sulfur batteries are a promising direction, and I am very happy to see the country make the right choice."

"It's also thanks to Professor Lu's guidance," Mr. Lu said politely with a smile, paused for a moment, and explained the purpose of his trip, "Actually, the main reason I came to visit you this time is to ask for your help. "

Lu Zhou: "Help?"

"Yes," Mr. Lu nodded earnestly, and continued, "Energy development is the top priority of my country's industrial production. In order to implement the 2025 China Manufacturing Plan, we need batteries with higher energy storage performance. It is best to achieve low production costs, simple production processes, and high recyclable times."

"However, the general feedback given to us by the industry is that there are still many theoretical difficulties to be solved in order to produce this kind of battery. Otherwise, the safety and the number of cycles can not be effectively guaranteed."

"Although we do not seek hegemony, we cannot allow others to build patent barriers on the platform of international trade and set up a bridgehead to attack our new energy strategy."

"You are an expert in this field," Lu Lao said sincerely, "We need your help!"
