Chapter 606

Rest area outside the New College small auditorium.

Xu Qingzhou was drinking coffee and let his gaze fall on the notes on interface engineering and topological insulator applications in the afternoon; two-dimensional material interface engineering has the same wonderful effect as their gradient interface design.

Domestically, the institute is orderly, and several experiments are advancing in an orderly manner. No matter how complex an institute is, it is ultimately composed of people, and in terms of management, Ji Yunshi is an expert, helping him save a whole lot of energy.

He had already called Ji Yunshi earlier, mainly to talk about the matter of cooperating with Jingda to establish things.

According to Ji Yunshi's feedback, the School of Physics and the School of Materials are quite welcoming, and Ji Yunshi has also started to scout for relatively good teams in the country, planning to find a way to poach some people over first.

"Professor Xu is very leisurely." Chen Zhang Rongxuan adjusted the depression in his heart and sat down with a smile.

Xu Qingzhou said with a chuckle: "Work-life balance, you know. Sit down and have a cup of coffee together?"

Chen Zhang Rongxuan waved his hand, signaling the waiter to help him get a cup of coffee.

Xu Qingzhou closed his notebook, saw Chen Zhang Rongxuan's worried look, and asked with a smile: "Professor Chen has something on his mind?"

"The battery matter."

Chen Zhang Rongxuan didn't hide it and said helplessly: "The research published by the Max Planck Institute... is very unfavorable for us. Over these years, we have finally broken through the technical blockade and gained an advantage. I originally thought it would be difficult for them to significantly narrow the technical and industrial gap with us in the short term, but things have gone against our wishes."

"Actually, we don't have to be so pessimistic."

Xu Qingzhou said casually, took a sip of coffee, and then continued: "The Max Planck Institute does have something, but... our laboratory can also produce this data."

"Hmm? Cough cough~"

Chen Zhang Rongxuan looked at Xu Qingzhou in astonishment. After a long while, he finally reacted and confirmed: "You can produce data of the same level as the Max Planck Institute?"

Xu Qingzhou shook his head. Chen Zhang Rongxuan's heart sank, thinking to himself that he had indeed misheard; Xu Qingzhou and the others had only been conducting experiments for two months at most, how could it be so fast? But he soon saw Xu Qingzhou smiling and saying: "I estimate it's a little bit stronger than this."

"..."

Chen Zhang Rongxuan's pupils shrank twice, staring at Xu Qingzhou, wanting to confirm whether this young man before him was teasing him, but found that Xu Qingzhou's expression was very earnest.

After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "Professor Xu, this joke cannot be made casually."

"I never joke."

Xu Qingzhou nodded, took out the tablet from his bag, and flipped out a piece of data, "This is the data from a few days ago. The reason I didn't bring it up at the meeting is, first, it's relatively messy, and the data and such haven't been organized yet. Second, this belongs to the institute's internal data, because it's not stable yet and needs further experimentation, so it's not yet time to make it public."

What he thought was to consider making it public after the data stabilized in a while.

"..."

"This... this..."

Chen Zhang Rongxuan's gaze stared fixedly at the tablet, and he suddenly became a bit excited, "Incredible!"

A few minutes later, Chen Zhang Rongxuan finally calmed down and looked at Xu Qingzhou with complex eyes: "Professor Xu, your confidentiality measures are well done."

Bad news: foreign competitors have produced ultra-high-performance products, leaving them far behind.

Good news: there are better products domestically.

But, is this something that can be produced in two months?

Looking at it this way, their CATL's billions in R&D expenses seem to have been fed to the dogs.
