Chapter 582 This Is Not the Body I Want!
After leaving the underground laboratory, Lu Zhou went straight to the building of the Institute of Computational Materials and found Yang Xu in the battery testing laboratory.
When he arrived, Yang Xu had just finished a set of experiments and was recording the experimental data.
Lu Zhou didn't bother them either, and waited quietly for them to finish. Then he called Yang Xu aside and handed him the sample box in his hand.
"Help me do a component analysis."
"Okay," Yang Xu didn't ask much, after taking the thumb-sized plastic box, he glanced inside, "Are you in a hurry?"
Lu Zhou: "It's not urgent, just give it to me within three days."
"Okay then," Yang Xu continued to ask after stuffing the sample box into the pocket of his white coat, "Do you have any requirements?"
Lu Zhou said: "Infrared spectrum characteristic peak detection, and transmission electron microscope image... let's just use these two for the time being."
Yang Xu: "No problem, I can bring it to you the day after tomorrow at the latest."
"Well, please," Lu Zhou nodded, and then his eyes fell on the battery tester next to him, "By the way, what are you doing?"
Yang Xu said with a smile: "Try to improve the positive electrode material of lithium-sulfur batteries. We changed the pore-forming agent and tried to adjust the pore size of the HCS-2 material. The limited data seems to indicate that the improved HCS-2 can further inhibit The rate at which polysulfides in the anode material diffuse into the electrolyte, thereby improving battery life...we're looking to prove that."
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "It sounds like a very promising project...by the way, let me ask you something, do you know anything about industrial robots?"
Yang Xu gave Lu Zhou a strange look, not understanding why he suddenly mentioned this.
"Industrial robot? What do you ask that thing to do?"
Lu Zhou: "It's useful in the experiment. I plan to buy a few and come back to study it. If you don't understand it, forget it. I'll ask others."
"Industrial robots... I really don't know much about this," Yang Xu touched his chin and thought, "But I have a brother who is in this business."
Lu Zhou: "MIT?"
"That's not true, it's my undergraduate brother. He originally studied materials, but later changed his major to automation and followed his mentor to make industrial robots. I remember that when our classmates reunited last year, he also promoted their factory to me. I laughed and teased him that our Institute for Advanced Study is not an automatic assembly workshop, so where can we put these things for them.”
Having said that, Yang Xu smiled and continued, "Anyway, his factory is in Jinling. If you need it, I can introduce it to you sometime?"
Lu Zhou: "Just give me a business card."
Yang Xu: "Okay, I seem to have it in my office, I'll get it for you right now."
...
Yang Xu's brother is called Zhao Zhongshu.
Although it is very impolite to make fun of other people's names, when Lu Zhou got this business card, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
However, although the name is a bit silly, but this man is also considered a master.
According to Yang Xu, his senior student was originally studying materials. After graduating from undergraduate, he didn’t know what to think. robot.
Before 2010, industrial robots were not very popular. The factory run by his mentor mainly imported equipment and then sold it to some domestic logistics centers and assembly factories.
At that time, if we were engaged in the real economy, we could only say that we could not starve to death, but we could not make much money. Those of them who follow the manufacturing company to make a living are just average.
However, in 2015, things turned around.
At that time, the Huaguo Manufacturing 2025 plan was officially issued, and the development of the manufacturing industry was elevated to a national strategy. Industrial robots, as an important part of it, ushered in subsidies of hundreds of billions of funds. Just like the photovoltaic industry, hot money and state subsidies have poured into this industry.
He was a postdoctoral fellow at the time, and he saw an opportunity to make a fortune.
After careful consideration, he finally gave up the temptation to stay in school to teach, and came out to work alone with a few seniors.
And the final result was beyond his expectation.
Based on the experience accumulated over the years, it took less than five years to turn a leather bag company that was a bit of a scam into a decent manufacturing company.
To be honest, I am afraid that even Zhao Zhongshu himself finds it incredible what he has achieved today.
After all, at the beginning, he really planned to cheat...
Jinling Suburbs.
In a spacious and bright factory building.
Various types of robotic arms are displayed on both sides of the aisle. The large ones are almost as high as three people when they are stretched out, and the small ones are about the length of a human arm when they are stretched out. There are also some indescribable equipment, with various processing tools connected to the steep arms.
Judging from the letters printed on the side of the machine, it doesn't seem like the things here are produced by themselves, or that the self-produced equipment and the imported equipment account for half,
After entering the factory under the reception of Director Zhao, Lu Zhou looked around and asked.
"What models do you sell here?"
Zhao Zhongshu said with a smile: "There are many models. The small ones include horizontal multi-joint robots and vertical multi-joint robots, which weigh about 5 kilograms. The big ones also have a load capacity of 1.35 tons. There are also some imported equipment, such as ABB. YuMi intelligent collaborative robot from Kuka, and iiwa from kuka, but these devices are not in stock, you have to place an order in advance before we can prepare them.”
Lu Zhou: "Is there anything good you can recommend?"
Zhao Zhongshu: "It mainly depends on what you plan to buy the robot for?"
Lu Zhou: "Do an experiment."
"Experiment?" Zhao Zhongshu was stunned, suspecting that he hadn't heard clearly, and asked again, "Experiment with industrial robots?"
Lu Zhou: "Can't you?"
Zhao Zhongshu smiled sarcastically: "It's not impossible...it depends on what you use it for. If you want to operate precision instruments, or do more delicate work, I'm afraid the accuracy will not meet the standard."
Lu Zhou: "Can I take pictures?"
Zhao Zhongshu smiled heartily and said, "Let's shoot, it's okay. I also hope that Professor Lu can help our factory introduce a few more big customers."
To be honest, he didn't expect Lu Zhou to buy much. After all, industrial robots are doing amazing things, and they only do some physical work that doesn't require much thought. No matter how you say it, it is impossible to replace the scientific research dogs in the laboratory.
However, this kind of academics who have flourished in the academic world are more or less inextricably linked with people in the industry. And what really made him so eager was the relationship behind Lu Zhou.
Seeing that Zhao Zhongshu did not object, Lu Zhou took out his mobile phone, took a photo of several robotic arms in the factory, and sent it to Xiao Ai.
He doesn't know much about industrial robots, so instead of choosing randomly, it's better to let Xiao Ai choose by himself.
So, after sending the picture, he generously attached a line of text.
[Which one do you like better? Send me a screenshot. 】
After a while, a string of bubbles popped up on the screen.
Xiao Ai: 【...This is not the body I want o(╥﹏╥)o】
Lu Zhou: "..."
You didn't say what kind of body you want?
I didn't expect this guy to be unexpectedly picky.
Lu Zhou sighed and typed back.
[...In short, let's make do with it first. 】
The earth's technology is underdeveloped, which really embarrasses you.
Xiao Ai: [The other party didn't want to talk to you and threw a small skirt at you.jpg]
Lu Zhou:? ? ?
Seeing that Lu Zhou was looking at the phone without speaking, Zhao Zhongshu tried to ask: "If you are not sure, I can introduce it for you."
The corner of Lu Zhou's mouth twitched slightly, and he continued typing on the screen.
"...No, just wait for me."
Although Zhao Zhongshu was confused, he still nodded.
"……Fine."
