Chapter 681: Chapter 681: Surprises Like Treasures
But he was somewhat disbelieving because the child was really too young, and the technology for lithium batteries differed completely from that of color televisions.
Could the child really possess such profound knowledge at just ten years old? Zhang Li wondered to himself.
However, Zhang Li didn’t remain puzzled for long; they soon arrived at the Yu Family residence.
Zhang Li got out of the car first, jogging over to open the car door for Elder Yu, and when Zhang Li followed Elder Yu inside and saw Jiang Mianmian sitting in the living room watching TV, he felt an expected rush of surprise.
Ah, it really was this little girl again!
“Grandpa Yu, Uncle Zhang Li, Uncle Wang Ming,” Mianmian recognized all the familiar faces and quickly went over to greet them.
Yu Cheng followed behind her, greeting everyone as well.
“Mianmian, did you make this rechargeable lithium battery?” Zhang Li bent slightly to look her in the eyes as he asked.
Jiang Mianmian nodded, “Yes, I did.”
Then she scratched her face and added, “I just got lucky this time.”
Zhang Li, having received a positive reply, became instantly excited, “Mianmian, you truly are a Little Genius! Lithium batteries and color batteries are completely different things, yet you managed to create it. How many books did you read, how much research material did you go through! If our country had more talents like you, we wouldn’t be suppressed by Western technology.”
“Yes, Mianmian, you really are a Little Genius. At your young age, you might not realize the change that this battery you’ve made will bring to our country. To put it grandly, this little thing is another step forward for our country’s science and technology,” Wang Ming also said excitedly.
Jiang Mianmian, under the admiring gazes of the two research experts, found herself showered with endless praise, and felt particularly embarrassed.
This lithium battery was something she had initially researched as a hobby; her original goal was just to reduce the cost of making cakes.
It had never crossed her mind that Grandpa Yu and the two research experts would treasure this lithium battery so much upon seeing it.
After all, rechargeable lithium batteries were commonplace in her last life; she hadn’t thought much of it.
But what she didn’t realize was that Hua Country was only just resolving the issue of food and clothing, and its scientific research had only just begun. Many technologies were still at the exploration stage.
Moreover, due to the upheaval of the past few years, universities had shut down, the public had devalued education, resulting in a significant gap in the educational and scientific communities, and the country was very much in need of talents in various fields.
Coupled with Western technological suppression and blockades, Hua Country’s scientific research was advancing very slowly and with great difficulty.
Thus, her research gave countless scientists a glimpse of hope and the future, which was one reason for their excitement.
“Mianmian, could you explain the technology behind making this lithium battery and the materials used?” Zhang Li asked as he took out a notebook and pen from his bag.
“Sure, it’s …” Jiang Mianmian, already well-versed in such situations, tried to explain the principles and technology behind making lithium batteries as simply as possible to them.
After the explanation, she also answered all the questions they had raised.
They talked for more than an hour before the two researchers were finally satisfied and packed away their notebooks and pens.
“Classmate Jiang Mianmian, thank you very much for your support. The country will not forget your contribution. Once we take these technologies back and integrate them to remake the rechargeable lithium battery, we will report your contribution again and award you a bonus,” Zhang Li stood up and spoke earnestly to Jiang Mianmian.
