Monster Factory-Chapter 632: Can we bridge the technological gap with foreign countries?

In order to allow Xia Hong to experience the power of this battery in a more intuitive way, the technician gave up the traditional and boring way of recording the current intensity by discharging the battery and directly connected the battery module with the remaining 63% of the electrical energy directly to mechanical equipment that looked like a large barrel of oil.

"This is the first generation of equipment to test the battery charge. Prior to that time, data from electronic test instruments were sometimes inaccurate. We have built a mechanism for it ourselves. Its downside is it has a large volume and high noise, but the measured data is very accurate."

After Master's Zhang explanation, the technician pushed the current electric current pushrod to the 200 watt-hour / km dial and in an instant, this seemingly heavy large-cylinder mechanical device smoothly rotated and after three seconds it increased to the maximum, producing a hum and high sound.

200 watt-hours / km, which is equivalent to the energy consumption per kilometer of a normal pure electric car on the road, through the line test, the instrument also quickly, measured the actual mileage remaining in the battery module of the Shi Lei car.

……

"1244 kilometers!"

In other words, the Shi Lei car will still be able to travel 1200 kilometers normally with a 63% remaining charge in the battery...

These data are unmeasured by the instrument of the car, which is not at all precise. Even some automakers will deliberately reduce actual energy consumption or falsely mark mileage to mislead consumers. In front of this device, there is only the truest answer to see through all the disguises, with an error of fewer than five kilometers.

"How can this be?"

This test excludes traffic lights and data under braking conditions as with normal cars. If you compare it to a gasoline car, this is the data that the two cars will drive on the main roads. But if the car was full of fuel it could only run 700 kilometers on full gasoline, and like this, it is already considered an energy-efficient car. Doesn't that mean, if the Shi lei car has a fully charged battery, the mileage it will make is almost three times that of a regular gasoline car?

Xia Hong was scared of this number, and it was so sweet that he couldn't help but explode in his heart.

It's one hell of a thing to shock the world and beat the pace of the global mobile power industry.

Engineers and Deputy Director Xia Hong couldn't wait a day for the battery to run out of power. So the technician moved the pushrod to 1,000 watt-hours / km, which is equivalent to the power of five cars.

"Buzz ~"

The big heavy cylinder, instantly transformed into an airplane turbojet, and it roared and spun, Xia Hong and his group hurriedly covered their ears. The momentum was too shocking, so shocking that people couldn't believe it.

The momentum was so shocking that people couldn't believe it. It was the energy released by a set of small car batteries the size of a suitcase.

"Can he be raised higher?" Xia Hong shouted emotionally. Although the noise is loud, it sounds wonderful to him.

"It cannot be higher!" Master Zhang replied aloud, "The battery output has an upper limit. No matter how high it is, it can cause the battery to overheat and short-circuit it."

"Master Zhang, the battery temperature is still very stable. I think I can try to push at maximum power," a technician who was monitoring the condition of the battery replied.

Master Zhang nodded as if saying: "Since the temperature is stable, you can try it," the technician held the control and was very excited to push the putter to the maximum position. He never felt the sensation of the extreme exit.

The power limit is 2000 watt hours / km. If you are using a battery module from a Tesla car, it is estimated that you will have to use a fire extinguisher for less than 800 watt hour / km to extinguish it when it burns out, but when he had used Shi Lei's battery here; she has almost instantly detonated the test machine. The heavy cylindrical device turned into a white light, and there was more than a deafening mechanical noise, and the whole lab was shaking.

Everyone plugged their ears and walked around with amazing eyes on the drum module and testing machine. The technician even looked at the battery data without blinking. Once the high battery temperature alarm appeared, it cut off the power instantly and a cloud of white smoke suddenly rose in the lab with a pungent smell of burning.

"Ah!"

"What is happening, why has the battery data been unreported?" Master Zhang hastened to say out loud, "Cool down the battery quickly."

"Master Zhang, no... it's not the battery, it's because our test equipment is overheated," Another shocked and panicked technician pointed to the test equipment with thicker white smoke.

......

...... ......

Both confused and bewildered Ye Qing waited all morning for a clear response from the Automotive Quality Inspection Center, and after having lunch at the company canteen, he took the elevator and walked up and down the floors of the Monster Heavy Industrial Building several times before choosing to go to the automotive quality inspection center.

Without taking into account the cost of the investments, the building has been completely decorated from the first floor to the 99th floor. Today, construction workers will perform final equipment installation and finishing work. Outside the building, hundreds of landscape workers and greeners were also stepping up grassland planting and greening.

The beginning of summer begins in June and also summer is the season when the plants grow in a luxuriant way and in order to give a good reflection to the extraordinary Monster Heavy Industrial Building, in addition to the metal lampposts with a high-tech industrial atmosphere, the surrounding greenery also gathered a large number of expensive landscaped trees suitable for the growing climate of landscaped gardens across the country.

The construction walls around the building were also completely demolished, and the flagship store has long since removed the heavy protective walkway to restore it to its original appearance. The ninety-ninth floor of the building now has more than 5,000 employees and workers. The relocation of various departments was also carried out in an orderly manner. Every employee here has a smile of satisfaction and pride on their face.

……

When Xia Hong, the deputy director of the New and Renewable Energy Department, rushed to Shanghai, Ye Qing was on the third floor of the building science and technology center, reviewing the final preparations for the Shi Lei car conference while waiting for the answer of why the car failed the exam.

When Ye Qing was waiting for a response from the Quality Monitoring and Inspection Center, Xia Hong the deputy director of the energy department came to the Monster Heavy Industrial Building, which surprised Ye Qing.

Xia Hong was even more surprised when he entered the imposing Monster Heavy Industrial Building, he was a bit lost, which gave him the illusion of entering the headquarters of the country's largest tech company. He wasn't the only one with this unimaginable surprise on his face, but the faces of the few people who accompanied him had this unexpected surprise on their faces too.

This building should stand in Manhattan, Wall Street, or Frankfurt but in Shanghai, it is so beautiful that it is incompatible with the surrounding buildings; it is like a sparkling azure sapphire left in a cluster of stones.

Finding Ye Qing, this kind of surprise became even stronger, for the man was too young.

"Mr. Ye, please forgive me. In the process of testing the Shi Lei car, we violated the principle of etiquette and fairness in trade and gave the battery an unqualified evaluation," Xia Hong held Ye Qing's hand and refused to let it go, and this young man saw hope for the rise of technology in China.

"Mr. Ye, can we go to your office and have a chat?"

Ye Qing nodded in confusion. He just said in itself, it makes no sense that the engineers in charge of the tests are blind and do not understand the technological content represented by the plasma battery, and invited Xia Hong and his group to the small meeting room next to them.

After asking Ye Qing not to interrupt him, Xia Hong hesitated for a moment before speaking and Ye Qing could see that he was a little nervous.

"Mr. Ye… can't you get this plasma battery alone to market first?"

Xia Hong stopped for fear of a misunderstanding from Ye Qing and quickly added: "I mean, the performance of the plasma battery is too good, excellent. If you take out such great technology all at once, you will suffer a lot in terms of maximizing the benefits and launching new, upgraded products later... "

"... You can launch a product with half the performance below that. The version of this battery can be released as a stand-alone product..."

"... I think in other areas, this type of battery with three times the energy density and extremely high charge-discharge performance can play a bigger role. For electric cars, you can completely reduce the price. Replace top gear with 1.5 times the speed, then upgrade to new levels slowly... "

"... You don't... take the best as soon as you enter the market... and..."

"... and after this electric car is put on the overseas market, they will just be able to remove the battery and move it to other areas."

Perhaps due to the excitement, Xia Hong explained his ideas a little confused. But Ye Qing easily understood what he meant.

Breakthroughs in energy are certainly more important than any breakthrough in electronic technology.

For example, when applied to the military field, many military electronic products can be made more and more efficient. Xia Hong and the others feared that once plasma batteries were brought to market, foreign countries could directly purchase Shi Lei cars and dismantle the batteries for military applications.

So it is better to downgrade it one level and remove the full version of the plasma battery separately and sell it only in China. This will widen the technological gap with other countries in military mobile products.

Imagine that for the soldier's individual mechanical system of the same technology, China will have a smaller battery with more power. What advantage will she have?

But...

"I understand what you mean, but the plasma battery cannot be downgraded," Ye Qing smiled.

"Ah ~ why?" Xia Hong became more nervous. China's energy sector has suffered for so many years, and now it finally has the opportunity to widen the gap with foreign countries... Will this dream be shattered again?

"Because the Shi Lei car is already the lowest end version, and it has fallen to the point where it cannot be lowered any further."

Ye Qing used these words in a row to point out that the battery-powered version of the Shi Lei car is low-end.
