545 Battery Paten (2/2)
At least until when Jiang Chen was leaving the company, passed by the lounge, and glanced at a magazine open on the table. Because the person in the magazine looked familiar, he picked it up and took a glance.
When he saw it, his expression suddenly became interesting.
The magazine was a fashion magazine targeted toward females with most of its content either about celebrities or makeup. The content itself wasn't an issue. The issue was when he saw the picture on the page, it was of the day when he sent the drunk Natasha home.
The article itself didn't' comment on the ”intimate” relationship between Future Group's president Jiang Chen and Russia's diplomat, but it used the topic to comment on Natasha's style and vibe, as well as shamelessly providing tricks to attract males…
Jiang Chen closed the magazine and felt extremely awkward.
No wonder Yao Ming was careful with what he said because there was a misunderstanding. The Russian diplomat was a mistress of the boss, and as a manager, it was hard for him to comment on their business relationship with Russia. But he couldn't let the ”pillow whisper (1)” freely affect the company's profitability. Therefore he said it subtly.
Jiang Chen flipped to the front of the magazine. It was published a month ago by a small publisher on Coro Island. A contemptuous smile appeared on his face.
Someone dared to report his scandal; does the boss of the magazine feel like he has lived too long?
But he only thought about it before he put down the magazine back on the table.
Some of the things were okay even if revealed to the public. Disguising may cause people to suspect the backdoor relationship hidden behind it. Xin didn't establish information control purely because it was not necessary to give trouble to the media over this.
But this event reminded Jiang Chen of the importance of controlling public opinion. As to how to execute it, it was not through enacting a law, since he had too much money, he could easily just acquire a controlling share.
On the other hand, Future Industrial was officially established and registered in Xin as a subsidiary to Future Group. The current portfolio consisted of only an electric car battery, and the research force came from the three European automakers Jiang Chen acquired. It was hard for mechanical parts such as a battery to use similar encryption technology as the Phantom. Therefore Jiang Chen didn't plan on bringing out the highly advanced nuclear fusion battery but instead selected the decade ahead solid lithium-air battery.
In the international scientific community, the study of lithium-air batteries had come to the state of near breakthrough. The shackles preventing its commercialization was mainly in how to ensure that after repeated charge and discharge, the battery can still maintain its original power level. Cambridge University was currently at the forefront of the world with its establishment of the lithium-air battery laboratory model. The model could be charged and discharged more than 2000 times, the energy efficiency of the theory exceeded 90%.
Optimistically, it will be possible to achieve mass production and application of the solid lithium-air battery by 2020.
Jiang Chen obtained the outdated solid lithium-air battery technology from the library in the apocalypse and ordered the researchers at Fallout Shelter 027 to produce a prototype with 3D printing, prepare the related technology into documents, and then Jiang Chen could transfer the information to Future Industrial's car battery scientist.
Including the electrode material, membrane components, new electrolytes, and high-performance additives, and other technologies, all through the PCT route, a total of 147 patents were submitted using international patent applications in many countries around the world. The purpose was to strive to form an absolute patent monopoly and completely blocking others from doing so.
There was no reason not to apply for the patent because four years later, other people will also apply for a patent.
As to some of the material production process, Jiang Chen didn't rush to apply for the patent because he didn't plan to build the factory far away. The plant could be built in the industrial base on Ange Island or the neighboring New Guinea was not a bad choice either.
