Chapter 141: Housewarming

　　For the lithium industry, December was definitely an interesting month.

　　Apple unusually followed up its autumn launch with another product launch and released a concept artwork, or PPT, of its new generation iPhone.

　　Aside from some optional changes, the most notable of these is undoubtedly the highlighted, quadruple ultra-long standby time.

　　As for more specific details, they will be revealed at next year's spring event.

　　When the news came out, the whole network was instantly sensational.

　　A mobile phone forum.

　　[Damn, quadruple the battery?!]

　　[Awesome!]

　　[Crazy l!]

          [Fantastic!]

　　Over the years, although the smartphone has been renewed year after year, there seems to be nothing particularly new in the second generation. After all, with the emergence of technological bottlenecks, even Moore's Law is beginning to falter, the major mobile phone manufacturers naturally can not be like the first few years, so that consumers feel the surprise of a generation better than before.

　　Cook's launch certainly gave Apple fans a great deal of excitement.

　　Perhaps they can't restrain themselves, a certain mobile phone user who knows what he's doing, can't help but open a sarcastic post.

　　[What you are advocating is meaningless, but the battery is not made by Apple, lithium-ion is not Apple's solution. I stick my post here, at most after a year, you just buy a mobile phone are damn long standby, believe it or not.]

　　When a fanaticism becomes a trend, this kind of post will undoubtedly be criticised.

　　In fact, it is true, the fanatical fans followed hundreds of floors.

　　However, the owner was also contentious and didn't argue with the fans, but directly took the highlights from Nature, as well as the comments from the Washington Times and other media outlets.

　　Just the owner did not expect is that his intention to post is to prove his own words, as a result, soon, the taste of the post changed.

　　[SHIT, did I read that right? Orion solved it, isn't Orion a maths professor?]

　　[Lithium dendrite ...... I fucking took the test for this thing only a month ago, and it was solved half a year ago?!]

　　[Awesome, half a year ago he was bragging on TV about changing science with maths, I thought he was just bullshitting, I didn't realise it was just my IQ limiting the imagination.]

　　[Upstairs calm down, you're not the only one ......]

　　Although the paper that was 'highlighted by Nature and Science at the same time' was once a sensation, and CBS even did an interview to report on it, all the sensation just stayed in the tech panel, and there weren't many people who really paid attention to this matter.

　　After all, the closer to the upstream of the industrial chain of technological breakthroughs, the farther away from the consumer.

　　Most people don't know what lithium dendrite is, and the first reaction to lithium batteries is mostly "Isn't this thing already in use? "

　　But as the impact of the research spreads to industry and changes people's lives, there will eventually be some curious people who will trace the roots of this change.

　　Half a year ago that paper triggered a sensation, just stay in academia and industry, as well as those interested in science and technology, but this time, with the end of the year the major electronics manufacturers of the product exhibition held intensively, the sensational effect finally began to spread to a wider range of areas ......

　　......

　　In fact, not only the Apple that came out on top, as early as a month ago, Atos, Samsung and other mobile phone companies have long been preparing for new product plans, just out of caution did not announce to consumers.

　　However, after the MRS meeting, the lithium dendrite problem seems to have been finalised, coupled with the enthusiasm of the capital market for lithium batteries, listed companies have finally begun to move.

　　With Apple opened the first shot, Atos, Samsung and other mobile phone manufacturers, also held a product conference, announced the next generation of products in the pipeline. This time the mobile phone update, the focus of attention is invariably focused on one place.

　　That is the ultra-long standby time.

　　At the same time, not only mobile phone and portable computer manufacturers, but electric car manufacturers are also not at all inferior.

　　As the main segment of the lithium market, the demand for power batteries has grown at the most rapid rate over the years, and in recent years has even surpassed 3C batteries to become the top of the three major consumable devices of lithium.

　　Musk took the lead in releasing the PPT, then followed by Mercedes-Benz and BMW which are not willing to show their weakness; but the automotive industry is different from the electronics industry, whether it is the R & D cycle or repeated safety testing, it takes more than a year to complete.

　　Just as the battery industry is undergoing radical changes, Orion's life has also changed a lot.

　　Last time, Orion had a good feeling about the house, but could not afford to buy it, but this time Orion was not so distressed about the money.

　　After all, Citibank offered him an annual interest rate of up to four points, compared to the housing prices in Princeton, less than two thousand dollars per square metre, for him is really just the cost of some interest.

　　For the sake of the dollar, the stubborn old white man who claimed that he would only sell but not rent, decisively threw the key to Orion, and then packed his bags and moved to New York.

　　Standing on the neat lawn, looking at the small two-storey villa in front of him that he had spent more than three hundred thousand US dollars on, Orion's mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile of satisfaction.

　　With an area of two hundred and sixty square metres, a front yard and a small garage, the surrounding environment was quiet and serene, the neighbours were mainly international students or professors from the Institute for Advanced Study, and within a short walk, one could see Einstein's former residence on the next street.

　　Except for the size, Orion was satisfied with the rest of the house.

　　He was especially pleased with the layout of the house.

　　Perhaps because the former landlord was a history professor, the house was furnished and arranged in a rather tasteful manner. Orion especially liked the fireplace in the living room, which gave him a feeling of travelling back in time.

　　It was indeed a pity to rent out such a work of art, rather than selling it out, he now somewhat understood why the old man insisted on not renting it out.

　　Other than the kitchen, Orion basically maintained the original appearance of the house, the only major change was just the kitchen.

　　Although he mainly dined at the Ivy Club, he occasionally cooked his own meals, which was quite a lifestyle.

　　Looking at the refreshed kitchen, a thought suddenly came to Orion's mind.

　　It was almost Christmas, as a noble and elegant single, just in time for the housewarming, why not clean up the new home and invite a few friends to celebrate?
