As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 71 Small Punishment
The fact that rice is making cars is quite funny. It has been circulating on social media: rice is going to make cars
Then the head of Rice’s public relations department came out and said something that roughly meant that Rice would never be able to build a car.

Anyway, it's quite absolute.

Later, Lei Jun personally came out and said that he wanted to build a car, and he publicized it heavily, saying that this might be the last time he started a business in his life.

Dami Automobile was subsequently established in Yanjing with a registered capital of 10 billion yuan.

Zheng thought for a while and said: "Dami Automobile should not rush to choose a battery supplier. I have recently had some ideas on how to solve the lithium dendrite problem. Maybe the lithium dendrite problem will be solved by then."

Lithium dendrites are branch-like lithium metal formed when lithium ions are reduced during the charging process of lithium batteries.

This problem is one of the fundamental issues affecting the safety and stability of lithium batteries.

The formation of lithium dendrites may cause internal short circuit of lithium battery and lead to explosion, and will definitely lead to the gradual decrease of battery capacity of lithium battery.

It is precisely because of the existence of lithium dendrites that your mobile phone consumes less power.

Because Lei Jun is engaged in the start-up of new energy vehicles, he has a general understanding of lithium dendrites and knows that solving this technology will greatly improve lithium batteries.

"Brother, if you encounter any problems in R&D, feel free to come to me. If you are short of people, Dami also has a R&D center in Singapore, and you can transfer some people there at any time."

"I'm waiting to send you money! The patent licensing of the brain-computer connection chip is expected to contribute 4 million yuan in revenue to you this year."

"Once your lithium dendrite problem is solved, I may send you more money then."

Zheng Li smiled and said, "Brother, I also need you to do me a favor."

"If the lithium dendrite problem is successfully developed, I need you to help me contact major domestic automobile manufacturers, and I will license the patent to them."

“I want to find some core technological advantages for domestic automakers.”

Zheng Li's words were very high-sounding for the time being. Lei Jun knew who he was and didn't bother to be polite with Zheng Li:
"Tell me, what is your plan this time? If you really care about national enterprises, you would not license the brain-computer connection patent to companies like Samsung and Apple."

Although Xiaomi's brain-computer interface mobile phone mix4 sells very well, it is being chased by competitors, and OV's new brain-computer interface phone will be released soon.

Samsung’s concept video of a folding screen and brain-computer connected mobile phone has also come out, and Apple’s fall conference is also approaching.

Lei Jun’s happiness didn’t last long, as he was filled with pressure again.

Zheng Li did not hide it from the other party, because he also wanted to make the evidence public and publicly punish Musk in public opinion:

"I filmed someone stealing R&D data at the R&D center in Singapore. All the data in the database was copied."

"I seriously suspect that it has something to do with Musk. Neurallink, a brain-computer connection company under his name, has obtained our technical information."

"Otherwise their research and development progress would not be so fast."

Lei Jun suddenly realized: "The video Musk tweeted recently, which was widely publicized by the media, turned out to be obtained from your technical information."

“So you want to use the advantages of lithium batteries to attack Tesla?”

The CIA was very cautious when it sneaked into the R&D center in Lion City. The hacker team outside the building had already hacked into the R&D center's surveillance network and replaced the content captured by the surveillance cameras with fixed images.

However, Zheng Li had another monitoring system, and the technological gap made it impossible for the CIA to target him.

Zheng Li: "Yes, I am only guessing whether Neurallink's technology is obtained from us." "But once it is proven, I will definitely do my best to study the lithium dendrite problem, so that domestic new energy manufacturers will have an absolute advantage over Tesla in battery technology."

In the early stages of electric vehicles, all major car manufacturers used large batteries connected in parallel, and Tesla was the first to use the 18650 Panasonic battery.

18650电池，18表示其直径18mm，65表示长度是65mm，0表示圆柱形电池。

Tesla uses a large number of Panasonic 18650 batteries integrated together, and through the battery management system it has a better battery life than other electric vehicles.

If someone else had said this, Lei Jun would have doubted it, but Zheng Li's words convinced Lei Jun that he had the ability. "Brother, I believe in you, but if you want to beat Tesla in the Chinese market, batteries alone are far from enough."

Just like Huawei’s mobile phone has better battery life than Apple’s, but Huawei still cannot beat Apple in the high-end mobile phone market.

This is true for mobile phones, and even more so for electric cars. When purchasing such products, users consider more than just battery life.

Even battery life isn't a major consideration.

Lei Jun continued: "In recent years, Tesla's image has been highly tied to Musk. To some extent, Tesla is following the same path as Apple."

"They take the approach of entrepreneurs endorsing their company's products, so that users can associate their product image with the company's founder when they see their products. What is Musk's public image?"

"A tech madman, a real-life Iron Man, what users associate with Tesla when buying it is a sense of technology and the most cutting-edge technology."

“Even if Tesla isn’t actually that good.”

Lei Jun is very knowledgeable about product image building.

Lei Jun also wanted to take the path of highly binding products and corporate image, but the Diaosi positioning of are you ok and Dami itself back then was too out of the circle.

This has led to a situation that is difficult to reverse, and the positioning of rice has been fixed on its cost-effectiveness.

Zheng Li said: "We may be able to break Musk's image this time, and thus break the image of Tesla in the minds of Chinese users."

"Brother, please wait for my news."

The Mage Alliance has abundant resources, and everyone can get basic living security without working, so most people are lawful neutral.

Even if you are chaotic evil, the Mage Alliance will periodically inject you with "tranquilizers" to put you into sage mode.

Zheng Lin was able to become a god of magic in this system. Except for the time when he dealt with others in the academy, he was mostly alone afterwards, and when he communicated with others, he directly exchanged opinions through the magic brain.

Therefore, he is also completely lawful and neutral, and he has no obvious preference towards these countries on Blue Star.

But American's actions were too much. After stealing the patent, they also widely publicized that it was a product they developed themselves.

Just like Zheng Li used the endorphin production process developed by other wizards, he never publicized it, nor did he use other people's discoveries to receive awards.

The 2020 Future Science Prize in Hong Kong was to be given to Zheng Li, but Zheng Li refused without hesitation.

He plans to pay the relevant patent royalties if he can return to the Mage Alliance in the future.

America's outrageous behavior made Zheng Li plan to punish him a little.
