Chapter 71: Should I write a few Tier-1 papers?

As for the drone matter, Li Mingyang merely thought about it briefly, then promptly tossed it out of his mind.

First, Li Mingyang had full confidence in his design, after all he had carefully calculated all the data, leaving no room for error.

Second, having built the Stellar Vessel last time, Li Mingyang now felt confident operating the various machines and equipment in the lab.

Although this drone's technical difficulty is considerably greater than that of the Stellar Vessel, the main difficulty still lies in the power and control systems.

The power system cannot be rushed; Li Mingyang must study it slowly himself.

As for the control system… isn't it already outsourced to that expert introduced by his senior sister at school?

Since someone is already handling it, Li Mingyang naturally doesn't need to worry about it.

Li Mingyang's only task now is to find some time to build the drone's main body based on his design, then spend the remaining time researching the power system.

After all, without a stable and reliable power supply,

Even if he could make the drone's body look splendid, without sufficient endurance it would be like a flower in the mirror or the moon in the water!

Hybrid technology may sound impressive, but in reality it's merely the allocation of electrical energy and the thermal energy produced by fuel combustion.

With a reasonable calculation method, determining the optimal ratio and the aircraft's optimal weight, endurance can be improved.

So Li Mingyang isn't really worried about this aspect; what matters most now is Sun Dongnan's control system.

To test the control system, long endurance isn't needed at all; whether a few batteries are used to make a pure electric version later,

or a pure fuel version is made, it's already sufficient for testing the control system.

Therefore, Li Mingyang devotes almost all his free time to studying the high‑energy battery technology he obtained.

As for this, Li Mingyang is truly a complete outsider, but fortunately he doesn't need to study the entire industry's knowledge.

All Li Mingyang needs to do is master the various related technologies and knowledge contained in the high‑energy battery technology.

At the very least, he should make the possession of this high‑energy battery technology more reasonable.

If he can fully grasp the knowledge contained herein, then when this technology is in his hands he can also package himself as a fortunate genius.

But if he ends up clueless, the question of where this so‑called high‑energy battery technology comes from will truly be a headache.

Fortunately, because Li Mingyang has a clear plan for his study schedule, his comprehension and progress with the high‑energy battery technology are quite swift.

Although it appears he's starting from zero foundation, this technology has already appeared in Li Mingyang's hands.

This feeling is like taking a test with the answer key in hand; whenever there's something he doesn't quite understand or can't see the context,

he can directly go to the library and look up relevant literature based on the technical data.

Thus Li Mingyang's understanding of the high‑energy battery technology changes almost daily, and he makes substantial progress almost every day.

However, as his research deepens, Li Mingyang finds himself increasingly valuing this high‑energy battery technology.

Because the more Li Mingyang understands this knowledge, the clearer it becomes that today's technology is as it is not because people lack technical support.

Take a simple example: the controlled nuclear fusion that humanity has been dreaming about for decades.

Does humanity lack the principle of controlled nuclear fusion?

No, quite the opposite—people now have several ways to achieve controlled nuclear fusion, such as stellar‑like devices……

It's merely that the final products differ in energy‑use efficiency, but before any real results appear, no one can say these theories are wrong.

It's merely that the final products differ in energy‑use efficiency, but before any real results appear, no one can say these theories are wrong.

Then why has controlled nuclear fusion not yet been truly utilized despite its development up to now?

Isn't it simply because of the limitations of existing materials? Not only materials, but also processing techniques and other aspects are limiting.

If the system truly rewarded him with a technology far surpassing the current era by decades or even centuries, Li Mingyang might not actually be able to grasp it.

Such technologies would likely become mere idle talk like many current fantasies, even if Li Mingyang knows the data are genuine and can definitely be manufactured.

But as long as real society lacks such industrial conditions, those so‑called real technologies will merely become another theory and daydream.

However, the high‑energy battery technology rewarded by the system can indeed be manufactured with today's industrial environment, and its performance far exceeds that of contemporary batteries.

Even the cost is kept at a very low price.

"Speaking of which, many aspects of this technology actually have high value!"

Today Li Mingyang unusually did not stay up late to continue researching; it's not that he couldn't persist, but that the time had come when he had to stop.

Because the semester has truly ended, and tomorrow is even the final exam, Li Mingyang also has to rest a bit.

He must replenish his spirit and present a good state to face tomorrow's exam.

After all, he had previously agreed with the principal and teachers that other courses don't matter; they will arrange them, but regarding professional courses…

Li Mingyang must not only avoid failing, but also achieve a grade satisfactory enough to please everyone.

Only then can he silence the endless chatter, allowing them to endure the pressure and continue letting Li Mingyang enjoy the special treatment of not having to attend classes.

So even if it's just a last‑minute cram, Li Mingyang must make use of tonight's time to roughly flip through the textbook.

At least he should have a rough impression of tomorrow's exam content!

Although the idea is good, but…

Just casually glancing for less than half an hour, Li Mingyang's thoughts wandered off again, returning once more to researching the high‑energy battery technology.

Since this battery is so valuable, even if it's merely a small idea or a minor branch!

For the battery standards of this era, it could be a groundbreaking existence.

And he estimates that at most it won't take until the next semester starts; he can then fully master the entire battery technology.

After all, the technology's principle is truly not complicated—like walking, perhaps just taking a turn on this side would reach the destination.

But if he accidentally takes a wrong turn, he'd likely have to detour several kilometers to reach the same destination.

And after he thoroughly masters this technology, couldn't he… also write a few papers to publish?

A freshman publishing a top‑tier Tier‑1 international journal paper—what an achievement! What a reputation! Just thinking about it gets one excited!
