Chapter 35: Chapter 35 Magnetic Levitation Motor

“Breaking News! At 6:30 pm today, the National Academy of Sciences announced that under the leadership of our country’s scientists, comrade He Xingzhou and comrade Yu Xing, our country’s battery technology research team has successfully developed the world’s first fully independent intellectual property rights, commercially available metal air batteries. It is reported that this battery is a new generation battery that ushers us into a new era of batteries…”the square-faced male host announced in standard mandarin.

When they heard He Xingzhou’s name, the whole family was stunned.

“Did he just say He Xingzhou?” He Qiguang, He Xingzhou’s uncle, asked in surprise.

“Did I hear wrong? Is That him?” He Qihang was also confused.

“I think so. It’s not the same person, is it?” Even Jiang Manrong was not sure. Can an ordinary person appear on the news broadcast and be praised by the Academy of Science, a leader of technology in the world?

“It’s my brother’s name!” He Mengyao said. “Brother, there was a person in the news who had the same name as you, but that person was a scientist. He also invented some very powerful battery technology.”

“That’s me,” He Xingzhou said helplessly. “I’ve said it before. I work in the research institute. This technology was developed by me and the team.”

“The house and the other bonuses were all arranged by the research institute. You should believe it now, right?”

After He Xingzhou said that, the four of them were dumbfounded!

“This… This is real?” He Qihang couldn’t even speak clearly.

“Dad, Mom, look, there’s even footage of my brother on the TV!” He mengyao pointed at the TV. In the news broadcast, a few seconds of He Xingzhou and Yu Xing introducing the battery technology appeared.

The person on the screen was exactly the same as their family member, he Xingzhou. If it was just the name, they could see it as a coincidence. However after seeing the footage, they couldn’t doubt it anymore.

“My God, it’s really Xingzhou!” Jiang Manrong shouted.

“It’s really my son!” He qihang first exclaimed, then suddenly laughed out loud, “Hahaha, well done, son. You actually developed such a powerful thing. Giving it your father and our ancestors face!”

“Wow, brother, how did you do it? Awesome!” He Mengyao’s little face was full of admiration.

“Of course it’s based on skills!” He Xingzhou said proudly.

“Don’t take all the credit for the team to yourself, you have to be humble!” Jiang Manrong was lecturing him, but her face was beaming with joy.

“Oh my god, Xingzhou did something amazing!” He Qiguang stood up directly and said, “This will bring glory to our He family’s ancestors! Developing technology and bringing glory to the country!”

“We can’t leave the matter like this! Big Brother, you have to publicize this matter. I’m going to find an advertising shop now and hang a banner in the neighborhood. Isn’t this worthy of a celebration?”

He Xingzhou wiped his sweat and said, “Uncle, isn’t this too high-profile?”

“What do you mean by high-profile? If you’re here, I’d have to hire a band and have them play drums and gongs on the street to let the whole city know!”

He Xingzhou:”…”

He Qihang said, “It’s fine to beat drums and gongs, but Xingzhou isn’t here either. It’s not good to make it too high-profile. Hanging a banners is fine, but when Xingzhou comes back, I’ll treat my relatives and friends to a meal!”

Such a glorious event would naturally have to be publicized to satisfy his pride as a father.

He Xingzhou said, “Dad, Mom. Anyway, that’s how it is. You guys should move early. I’ll contact my colleagues over there and have them make the necessary arrangements.”

“I still have something to do. We’ll talk next time.”

“Then you go ahead first.”

The video call ended, and the family was still very excited.

So what he Xingzhou said was not a lie, but the truth!

“Amazing, amazing! Our old He family has produced a great talent!” As He Qiguang said that, he had already sent a message in the “Happy family” WeChat group.

When the relatives in the group saw this, they all sent congratulatory messages. “Amazing!”

“He Xingzhou is really giving our family face. This matter has to be written in the ancestral hall!”

“I just finished watching the news. Uncle’s son is too amazing! @He Qihang”

“Congratulations! When will Xingzhou come back? I’ll ask him for advice another day. My son’s grades is a mess!”

Not only in the group, there was also a knock on the door. It was a visit from a neighbor.

He Qihang opened the door and saw the neighbor holding his cell phone. He asked curiously, “Is this your son, He Xingzhou, that’s mentioned in the news?”

“Yes.” He Qihang had a smile on his face.

“That’s amazing! Congratulations! “The neighbor exclaimed.

“Come, come, come in! We were just talking about this!”

..

After He Xingzhou confirmed with his family, he quickly went to the room next door.

“Sister Lan.” In Xu Zhilan’s house, she was wearing a tight-fitting sportswear and practicing boxing against a sandbag.

“What’s wrong?” Xu Zhilan panted, sweat dripping down her rosy cheeks.

“I just talked to the other black tortoise executives,” He Xingzhou said, “We’ll be responsible for the technologies invented at the Sentry Tower. We can decide on how to use the profits ourselves.

“That’s great. If we license this battery technology, we’ll get a lot of money!” Xu Zhilan said. “I’ll arrange for people to handle the business matters. You can focus on your own matters.”

“Exactly what I needed!” He Xingzhou smiled.

He Xingzhou didn’t have the energy to deal with those people from the enterprises. There was still a lot of technology waiting for him to develop.

He Xingzhou returned to his room and began to unlock the next set of technologies.

“The battery technology should be good enough for now. We won’t be needing nuclear batteries until we need to make giant mechas or large-scale military weapons.” He Xingzhou looked at the technology tree. The next thing that he needed to unlock should be the “Magnetic levitation motor.”.

This was a special motor that operated without any contact between the stator and the rotor. It could convert electrical energy into a magnetic field. There were attraction types, repulsion types and so on.

It was also the soul of this Maglev. The battery and the motor which the the two most important technical deficiencies were now solved.

In regards to the other technologies needed, the experts in the field already had some knowledge in driverless technology while designers had created preliminary designs for the car. Wireless charging technology was the best for this use case but was not a must. Creating a magnetic road was even simpler. All they had to do was add magnetic material on a road. It was not difficult in a technical sense but it costed money.

In the past few days, He Xingzhou had accumulated some more units of energy, and he could finally unlock the small magnetic levitation motor on the technology tree.

As for the large magnetic levitation motor that could lead to super high-speed rails and giant mechas, it could not be unlocked for the time being.

“Unlock the small magnetic levitation motor,” He Xingzhou said to the Quantum Processor.

“The technology of the small magnetic levitation motor has been unlocked!” A stream of information entered He Xingzhou’s brain, which contained relevant information on the technology

“I see!” At this moment, He Xingzhou had answers to many of the questions that he never understood before.

“As long as we follow this technical train of thought, we can design the magnetic levitation motor. Alright, let’s start working!” He Xingzhou opened up a design software and began to design.
