Global Monopoly of Technology

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, a cylindrical platform was seen rising from the floor of the main stage. A transparent glass box on the platform contained an "artificial electronic skin". Because it was too thin, some labels and labels had to be placed on the surface. Only visible in close-up.

When Luo Sheng came to the column, he looked at the items inside and said, "I want people with disabilities to truly be able to do the seemingly simple but almost impossible thing of 'taking an egg out of a bag'. , This 'artificial electronic skin' developed based on graphene solves this problem, it can sensitively sense external pressure and give correct signal feedback."

This is indeed a very distressing place for many disabled people with prosthetic limbs. The haptic system does not extend to the prosthetic limbs, so it seems that they are not light or heavy. Although the prosthetic products produced by Chen Xin's Borch Technology have far exceeded the industry peers, and the price It is nearly 10 times cheaper, and it is a rare excellent product in recent years.

There have been researches and breakthroughs on this issue, but it is still a problem. The product experience is not satisfactory. Many people know that Borch Technology is a company invested by Luo Sheng, and this technology will definitely be applied to Borch. Prosthetic products under technology.

Having said that, Luo Sheng looked up at the big screen, and everyone saw the video demonstration video of the demonstration.

"After attaching this 'artificial electronic skin' to the prosthetic site, the prosthetic limb can sense and hold those soft objects like normal human limbs, instead of directly crushing them."

In the video demonstration screen, a disabled person is wearing a prosthesis produced by Borch Technology. The difference is that his prosthesis uses this artificial electronic skin.

Not only did he lose his left hand, he also lost a leg, but at the very beginning of the picture, he had both hands and feet and was still playing basketball on the playground, running, jumping, walking and turning flexibly, and moving exactly like a normal person. To the appearance of a little handicapped person.

In the subsequent screen switch, he used his left prosthesis to hold soft and fragile items such as eggs. At the same time, he also compared the prosthetic limbs of his peers in a split shot, and staged a scene where there is no harm without comparison.

The researchers and prosthesis bearers in the picture celebrated, and the audience at the scene also gave warm applause in the cheers.

These pictures all made the people present sighed at the charm of technology and praised the progress of technology.

The giant screen on the main stage ended the video screening, the logo of the Côte d'Azur appeared again, and Luo Sheng's hearty voice spread throughout the audience again.

"In addition to prosthetics, this 'artificial electronic skin' actually has many application directions, such as being used in wearable electronic products to achieve more convenient and accurate health detection. As early as the beginning of this year,

Our researchers have begun to apply graphene chemically modified coatings to clothing through 3D printing to detect blood sugar in diabetic patients. "

A documentary video was played on the giant screen of the main stage again. An audience member off the field exclaimed: "Graphene is really a magical material. How broad is the application range?"

Luo Sheng, who was pacing back and forth on the field, continued: "In view of the fact that the current mainstream exfoliation methods of graphene are still limited to a few methods such as micromechanical exfoliation and chemical vapor deposition, the Cote d'Azur laboratory is different. A brand new stripping technology has been successfully developed, making it preliminarily ready for commercialization and mass production, but we are not satisfied with this, it is very good that we are not satisfied, it means that there is still huge room for improvement, and this is also problem that our research team is currently working on.”

The biggest problem with graphene materials is that they cannot be mass-produced, which keeps the cost of this new material high and hinders its commercialization.

Unexpectedly, the Côte d'Azur has already found the technology that is initially capable of mass production. Is this still worth it?

At the end, Luo Sheng's voice came again.

"Water is the source of life for our human beings. Although 71% of the surface of our planet is covered by water, 99.99% of the water is seawater that cannot be directly drunk."

"According to incomplete statistics, there are about 660 million people in the world who live in areas without drinking water supply. Although many countries in the world are trying to develop seawater desalination and filtration systems in coastal areas, their high cost has made these technical solutions. It is impossible to truly achieve mass production development.”

Obviously, everyone heard it, and Luo Sheng began to introduce the next technology.

"After all, most people and most countries are not as rich as the local tyrants in the Middle East. Even the local tyrants cannot use the existing desalination system on a large scale to solve all the water problems."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed and laughed, and even the richest man in the world said that the local tyrants are super rich, that is really rich.

Some media reporters from the Middle East countries pricked up their ears when they heard what he said. Their country is very rich, but it lacks water resources. .

After the episode, Luo Sheng introduced in an orderly manner with a smile on his face: "Another technical research team of the Cote d'Azur Lab has made a major breakthrough recently, and we will launch a new cheap and efficient seawater desalination solution. The team hopes to change some of the status quo."

"It uses a technique we call 'graphene membrane filtration', and the team's lead technologist, Kane Sachs, is a leading scholar in the field of graphene and has been with the Côte d'Azur laboratory for seven years. , he has published more than 200 scientific papers in the field of graphene so far."

Another person with a big touch is working for him, and the Cote d'Azur Lab is really full of talents.

Côte d'Azur has scientific research institutions all over the world, involving too many frontier fields. Some college students also found that it is almost difficult to see the most cutting-edge academic research with commercial returns in the medium and long term, all of which are funded by Côte d'Azur .

North America is slightly better. The most scientists accepted by the Côte d’Azur are from Europe, and the scientific research funding of various countries in Europe is being cut. The Côte d’Azur now has more R\u0026D investment in one year than the entire UK.

In fact, in European countries, whether it is the United Kingdom, France or Germany, the annual scientific research funding investment of a single country is not as much as that of the Côte d'Azur, and only the entire European Union can be suppressed.

The investment of the entire Western academia has been reduced as a whole. Luo Sheng naturally accepts these talents on a large scale. Not only does he have to accept these "research refugees", but he also has to dig wildly.

It is no exaggeration to say that in addition to national capital, Luo Sheng is the only party in the world that supports basic scientific research on a large scale with private capital. For the past 15 years, he has been working tirelessly and silently, investing in early years when his income was low. With the gradual increase in income, the investment in scientific research is also positively correlated, and the investment is continuously increased.

Now it's finally starting to pay off.

Many people in the industry have nothing to say. This is not something that ordinary people and ordinary enterprises can bear. From 2004 to the present in 2018, even the Côte d’Azur has suffered for 14 years and five years of crazy investment and only saw it today. Results, and it has not really started to make money to recover the R\u0026D costs.

Other companies are not nearly fifteen years old, and they may not be able to support it for two or three years.

People in the industry know very well that monopolistic high-tech products are indeed huge profits, but the risks are also overwhelming. If the research and development of the graphene project on the Cote d'Azur fails, the capital cost, time cost and sunk cost invested in the past ten years are unimaginable.

On the stage, a second cylindrical platform rose from the floor, and the close-up again focused on a piece of film material on display on the circular platform.
