Wireless Electric Current Transmission, Conversion, and Delivery Technology, and Reverse Reception and Conversion Technology

The next morning, Chen Mengchuan received a call from Sun Zhongyong. The night before, Sun had gone to see Gu Xiaoxiao to begin discussing the supercomputer.

As a Dell distributor, although Sun Zhongyong had never worked with supercomputers, he was far from ignorant about them. Moreover, he had no shortage of knowledgeable people around him, and Gu Xiaoxiao was only one of them.

After settling on a time, Sun Zhongyong drove Chen Mengchuan to Suke University again.

"Brother Sun, what are the terms of your investment?" Chen Mengchuan got straight to the point.

Sun Zhongyong shook his head. "Mengchuan, consider this money a loan from the Sun Family. Interest-free. Pay it back when you're able to."

Chen Mengchuan rolled his eyes. "Brother Sun, you're really not worried that I'll take those fifteen million US Dollars and run?"

Sun Zhongyong laughed heartily. "I'm not stupid. Those fifteen million US Dollars will be invested directly into the supercomputer. If you're capable of carrying it off and running away, then Brother Sun will admit defeat."

A flicker of gratitude passed through Chen Mengchuan's heart.

After thinking for a long time, he said, "Brother Sun, even brothers settle accounts clearly. If you truly intend to invest those fifteen million US Dollars, then let it be an equity investment for a five percent stake. If the company is poorly managed and goes bankrupt, those fifteen million US Dollars will become my personal debt."

Sun Zhongyong grinned. "Looks like you're pretty confident in your technology. But you're only valuing yourself at three hundred million US Dollars? You were talking much bigger yesterday."

Chen Mengchuan rolled his eyes again. "Brother Sun, if you think that's too little, then just treat it as a loan. I'll write you an IOU and repay double the principal and interest in three years."

"Now that sounds good! But I'm worried that you might actually come up with something incredible by then. Wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't hold any shares? I'd better take a little. Haha, five percent isn't too little either," Sun Zhongyong said with a laugh.

The car drove into the faculty housing area of Suke University once more. This time, Gu Xiaoxiao was waiting for them at home.

After they entered, Gu Xiaoxiao opened the ultrabook in her hands and began introducing the plan to them.

"I looked through some old materials last night and drafted a rough plan. This supercomputer can be completed in two months..." Gu Xiaoxiao sat close beside Chen Mengchuan as she explained her proposal, and a faint fragrance kept drifting into his nose.

After a full half-hour presentation, Chen Mengchuan was greatly surprised by Gu Xiaoxiao's expertise in this field. She was a woman blessed with both beauty and intelligence.

According to her plan, they would first order all the components they needed. Many CPU parts and custom chips would have to be purchased from the United States. Her former advisor in America would help procure those chips, and it would take five weeks to deliver them domestically. Chen Mengchuan would need to pay a total service fee of three hundred thousand US Dollars for this.

During those five weeks, Gu Xiaoxiao would work with Sun Zhongyong to deploy the supercomputer's remaining hardware and environment.

Once the CPUs and custom chips from the United States arrived, installation would be completed within a week. The final two weeks would be used for testing and acceptance.

After Chen Mengchuan agreed to Gu Xiaoxiao's plan, she held out her hand toward Sun Zhongyong. "Pay up, brother."

Sun Zhongyong rolled his eyes. "When have I ever owed you money?"

After leaving Gu Xiaoxiao's home, Sun Zhongyong nudged Chen Mengchuan and teased, "So? What do you think?"

Chen Mengchuan looked at him speechlessly. "Brother Sun, there's already someone in my heart."

"Cut the act. Someone in your heart, yet you were still looking down my sister's collar just now?" Sun Zhongyong scolded.

"Uh..." Chen Mengchuan was embarrassed. He had not expected Sun Zhongyong to notice his few glances.

It was all Gu Xiaoxiao's fault. She wore such a loose T-shirt at home. Whenever she lowered her head, the fair skin inadvertently exposed at her collar... what man could resist taking a look? His mindset seemed to have changed a great deal.

"Let's find somewhere to talk. We'll head back after lunch," Sun Zhongyong said.

"Alright."

The two found a small stir-fry restaurant near Suke University, took a corner table, and ordered several dishes.

"Brother Sun, do you really believe in me that much?" Chen Mengchuan tore off the plastic wrapping around his utensils.

"Not at first. Yesterday, I met the old man, and he told me a few things. He said that both you and your father had entered Xia Science Academy and were men of great learning. Even if you don't have ready-made technology in hand, it's only a matter of time before you develop it. When I work with people, I value character most. There aren't many people I truly acknowledge, but you're one of them. So I think it's worth taking a gamble." Sun Zhongyong picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a peanut from the small dish the server had just brought over, and tossed it into his mouth.

"Even if we take a step back, the old man said that you did the Sun Family a great favor. Without you, the Sun Family might have ended up without heirs," Sun Zhongyong added.

"The old man thinks highly of me," Chen Mengchuan said with a smile, picking up some shredded kelp salad with his chopsticks.

"Haha, then hurry up and make that technology of yours happen," Sun Zhongyong replied with a laugh.

Chen Mengchuan nodded. "I won't let the old man's judgment be wrong."

"What exactly is the technology you want to research?" Sun Zhongyong asked.

Chen Mengchuan pointed at a square table against the wall of the restaurant.

"Brother Sun, see that electric kettle?"

"Mm." Sun Zhongyong followed his hand and looked over. It was an ordinary black electric kettle.

"Electric kettles, sterilizers, air conditioners, refrigerators, and other appliances all need to be connected to a power supply to work. And that connection requires electricity to pass through power lines. But what if power lines weren't needed? Wouldn't that be much more convenient?" Chen Mengchuan guided him along slowly.

"How would that work?" Sun Zhongyong asked in a low voice.

"To achieve that idea, it would involve wireless electric current transmission, conversion, and delivery technology, as well as reverse reception and conversion technology..." Chen Mengchuan was cut off before he could finish.

"Mengchuan, wait a moment. Slow down," Sun Zhongyong said, not understanding what Chen Mengchuan meant.

"It involves an entire set of technologies. For example, once it is put into practical use, a device can be plugged into the power source. That device can receive electrical energy, convert it into special waves, and transmit them outward. Then appliances such as electric kettles would have another set of devices that could receive those waves and convert them back into electrical energy, allowing the kettle to operate," Chen Mengchuan explained slowly.

This time, Sun Zhongyong understood what Chen Mengchuan meant. After thinking seriously for a while, he asked, "How large would those two devices be? How much electrical energy would be lost?"

"With current technology alone, making them as small as a peanut wouldn't be difficult. As for energy loss, waves with unique codes would have directionality during transmission. In theory, zero loss could be achieved." Chen Mengchuan picked up a peanut and tossed it into his mouth.

He had not lied to Sun Zhongyong about this technology, because it was one that Chisako and Yokohama National Science and Innovation Institute would participate in developing in the future. Chen Mengchuan had also been involved in the project.

"So this is the world-changing technology you mentioned? It sounds promising. Getting rid of power cords for these devices would indeed be much more convenient, but it doesn't seem world-changing enough, does it?" Sun Zhongyong asked after considering it.
