Located at the junction of the Huangpu River and Suzhou Creek, the Shanghai Waibaidu Bridge is the first all-steel riveted unequal height truss bridge in China, and is also one of the important symbols of Shanghai, an international metropolis. Straddling the banks of the Pujiang River, it supports the majestic skyline with its delicate curved body.

Standing on the bridge and looking into the distance, you can see the beautiful scenery of the Huangpu River.

Among the skyscrapers lining the riverside, in addition to the dazzling Oriental Pearl, the Longtian Science and Technology Building of Qu Group is particularly conspicuous.

The 83-storey building is built using the most advanced all-steel construction technology available today, and the double-glazed grating glass covering the surface is golden, but it changes in color in the sun, like countless fairy tale elves fanning colorful thin wings in the glass jungle.

This is a golden palace belonging to the Qu business kingdom, the palace is expensive, but what is really famous is a free-standing solar photovoltaic tower laid on the roof of the building. Compared with this power generation equipment covering an area of only about 20 square meters, the golden palace can only be described as "flashy".

The concept of solar power has had as much influence on humanity as the first generator born from Ferrari's laboratory on the eve of the first industrial revolution. This epoch-making revolution has long been known to people in the 21st century.

Quyang Energy, a subsidiary of Qu's Group, is engaged in the research of solar photovoltaic power generation projects. Different from other photovoltaic generator sets, the products developed by Quyang Energy occupy a very small area, but the power generation power is amazingly large.

In the modern society where photovoltaic power generation is blooming everywhere, this kind of power generation tower has nothing special from the appearance, and it is strange that it has the ability to convert solar radiation energy into electrical energy, which is not inferior to any megawatt photovoltaic system in the world, and is evaluated by international public opinion as the most remarkable scientific miracle of this century. If human beings can create a way to obtain energy beyond it, it is probably a perpetual motion machine.

Let's talk about the glorious history of the Qu Group.

The Group was founded in 1988. At that time, China was in the early stage of reform and opening up, and everything new was still in its infancy, so the leaders of the group drew on the experience accumulated during the academic exchange at Stanford University in the United States to conceive the initial idea of using solar power generation in advance.

As a representative of private enterprise science and technology, Quyang Energy has received the attention of the government since its establishment, and has been approved to set up a project research base in Chongming Island to conduct basic theoretical research on photovoltaic energy for more than ten years. The research continued until the end of 2001, when the first free-standing photovoltaic tower was installed on the roof of the Dragon Sky Tower.

The main body of this product developed by Quyang Energy is a square array of eight monocrystalline silicon wafers with a length of 2 meters and a width of 0.8 meters. The phalanx is connected to a white post-barrel grid-connected inverter, and the only additional component is a three-blade propeller fan 10 meters away from the battery pack. The fan is said to be a special micro-variable regulator that cools the device with a small air rotation in the event that the system overheats.

The monocrystalline silicon panels that absorb the energy of sunlight may seem so strong that even a child can bend them easily. When bent, the silicon board exhibits a strange degree of bending. This battery pack is the original invention of Quyang Energy, and has applied for patent technology protection all over the world.

Why the eight semiconductor slices can have such a deterrent power generation function is still a mystery in the eyes of Chinese and foreign experts. Some have speculated that the tower's extraordinary power generation capacity may be due to a change in the angle at which the sunlight is received, which is a mysterious specific substance because the silicon panels can form different degrees of arcs, depending on the intensity of the light. It is a pity that the technical content protected by the patent cannot be disclosed, so that experts regret it every time they think about it.

The research data released by Quyang Energy claims that they have successfully intercepted a recessive radiation wavelength of a solar light wave by collecting and analyzing radiation rays in the universe and comparing them with sunlight. Based on this astonishing discovery, combined with the extended application of the Doppler effect, they have realized the technology of easily shortening the wave frequency and infinitely increasing the blue-shift frequency of sunlight light waves, so the close-range light energy absorption rate of the cell array has been extended countless times.

Such an explanation, which sounds logical, finally satisfies the public's curiosity temporarily, but then there are various experiments that artificially intervene in the frequency of solar radiation waves and arbitrarily control their blueshift or redshift laws.

Since then, the invention of Quyang Energy has been named "Xiao Nengba", and a year later, "Xiao Nengba" has become a registered trademark of Qu Group.

It was only then that the governments that granted patents to the Qu Group came back to their senses and regretted it. They regretted that the patent for the new solar power system had been issued so quickly that they lost the opportunity to scramble.

In the United States, for example, the term of protection for utility model patents is as long as 20 years, which means that perhaps in the next 20 years, no one will be able to figure out how this power generation equipment really works.

In the face of the frustration of governments and the scientific community, Qu Mairong, the president of the Qu Group, kept a low profile on the surface, but secretly sneered. Chinese and foreign media have unanimously speculated that no matter whether the patent rights in his hands can be held for ten or twenty years, the commercial profits earned during this period are enough to make him firmly at the top of the Forbes rich list, and it does not matter whether he will be forced to disclose the technical content after that.

On the other hand, for certain superpowers, who ostensibly advocate peaceful coexistence, but under the table they are eager to cut each other's thighs, the emergence of such eye-catching new energy sources is bound to become a hot spot for them to compete with each other. Now the baby could only see and couldn't move, and they naturally turned red-eyed. But when you calm down and think about it, anyway, there is currently the iron general of the Qu Group, and no one can grab the small energy bully, so it doesn't matter if you wait for another ten or twenty years, so the leaders are relieved.

With this confidential technology output as the main business, Qu's Group's business has indeed flourished, and in less than ten years of development, it has gone from a little-known Chinese private enterprise to the ranks of the world's top 500 companies, and has become a veritable multinational company.

Customers from all over the world flock to Qu Mairong, and ordinary individual customers are like tiny ants in Qu Mairong's eyes, and he will only receive them with great interest when the government appoints representatives to negotiate.

From 2001 to 2016, a total of 180 countries and regions around the world initiated purchases from Qu Group, and thousands of power generation equipment identical to Xiaoneba, on the top floor of the Longtian Science and Technology Building, were installed in the corresponding regions, including a large number of government confidential units, including NASA and the Russian Federal Space Agency.
