Chapter 685 The Time to Counterattack Xia Kingdom Has Come

Yus Becker, sipping his coffee, said confidently, "I've already contacted another old friend, whom you also know, Kadri Simson of the European Commission's Energy Committee. He was quite upset about the last failure. I think he'll be happy to assist us."

Simson.
Volt felt a headache coming on. Simson, another hawkish official at the EU Energy Department, had heard that he had been planning a blockade against Xia Guo since the beginning of the year, but unfortunately, he lost face because Xu Qingzhou's battery patent failed.

Only six months have passed, and this guy is already up to something again.

As a scholar, he actually prefers cooperation between the two countries.

Science progresses through communication.

Or rather, this was a last resort.

In the last century, they could be high and mighty and ignore the existence of the Xia Kingdom because they didn't care about its technology, but now, the situation is completely different.

Without a doubt, the lion Napoleon spoke of has awakened.

Seeing Volt deep in thought, Becker smiled and said, "My friend, don't look so gloomy."

“I consulted my advisors and they said that initiating anti-dumping measures could buy French automakers a 5-8 year window of opportunity to transform, which is also crucial for other countries, including Germany itself.”

The EU also has its own internal contradictions.

The benefits are not evenly distributed among everyone.

Take Germany, for example. Its car manufacturers have deep ties with China. If China retaliates against Germany, Germany will suffer heavy losses.

No, it's not just Germany, it's the entire European Union, even France itself relies on China's industries.

In this respect, the Xia Kingdom was very successful, and Europe could no longer do without it.

It must be admitted that the Chinese people have covered in just a few decades what Europe took a century to achieve, and even stand at the forefront of the world.

It's a fact that their car manufacturers can't compete with Chinese companies abroad, nor can they compete with German companies domestically. The only thing they can do right now is to rely on trade barriers to prolong their lives and buy time for upgrades and replacements.

He was certain his allies would agree because they were all facing the same predicament.

Of course, this will put a lot of pressure on Europe.

Initiating an anti-dumping investigation six months ago resulted in heavy losses for both sides.

But now that we have such a trump card, the situation will be completely different.

Lithium dendrites—if this problem can be solved, France will have the upper hand for the next ten years!

Becker: "Old friend, you've brought us a huge surprise this time. Without a doubt, this will be an opportunity for France to rise!"

Even so, the situation for French automakers is not optimistic.

"Volt said in a deep voice."

Undeniably, France, as a powerful nation in Europe, has been on a downward spiral.

The team lacks innovation, and if this is not addressed, even if they temporarily have a significant advantage in lithium dendrites, they will gradually fall behind the rest of the world.

“Mr. Becker, I still suggest you reconsider your decision regarding the anti-dumping investigation. After all, Xia is no longer the country that was easily subdued as before.”

Volt continued.

"China's battery technology seriously threatens the survival of the European industry. You know, their car manufacturers receive government subsidies, leading to dumping at low prices. Volt, we are doing a great job of establishing a fair and just competitive environment."

"Don't worry, as far as I know, the Max Planck Institute has also made breakthroughs in the field of lithium dendrites. I believe that many countries are willing to stand on our side."

BYT's global R&D center is located in Baolong Street, Longgang District, Shenzhen.

Inside the office of Laboratory Building No. 6.

BYD's chief scientist, Wang Xingyao, took off his white coat and smiled faintly, "The energy density of the sample has reached 585Wh/kg!" "This value is almost close to the theoretical expectation."

My colleague Song Yaoyang also had a smile on his face.

"To be honest, I sometimes feel dazed when I'm alone in the office, it's just too smooth."

Wang Xingyao made tea for Song Yaoyang across from him and said in a deep voice, "This is also thanks to Xu Qingzhou's key technologies."

"Unfortunately, their route is different from ours."

He said with great regret.

If the other party is also developing all-solid-state batteries, their technology is probably not inferior to theirs.

After all, the breakthrough we have made is due to the technology we purchased from Xu Qingzhou and his team last December.

Although the Kyoto Materials Research Institute was only established a year ago, its strength is undeniable.

"Alright, now that I've seen the sample data, I should head back and have a meeting to see when we can hold a press conference."

Song Yaoyang smiled faintly.

In the field of solid-state batteries, they and CATL are currently leading the way.

Xu Qingzhou has been particularly free these days, spending his time reading materials on nuclear fusion or studying the theory of supersymmetric zeta functions.

“Map the distribution of prime numbers to string vibration modes in AdS space, i.e., [\mathcal{Z}\right)^{-1}].

The calculation still focuses on the design of transition rules in the sieve method, and has successfully divided the transition rules into high-frequency transition layers and low-frequency potential well layers.

"This transition rule is just one part of the definition and encoding of quantum states in the quantum random walk model."

The quantum random walk model is the first step in the gap dynamic sieve method, which in turn is the first part of the entire supersymmetric zeta function theory.

"Damn, to put it simply, the theory of supersymmetric zeta functions has been proposed for almost two years, and it's still just getting started."

Xu Qingzhou rubbed his aching temples, picked up his teacup, and got up to go to the French windows to relax his mind.

The window was open, and a cool breeze was blowing in from outside.

On August 16th, after several days of continuous heat, a heavy rain brought away the summer heat.

"Life is so leisurely these days."

Xu Qingzhou couldn't help but take a deep breath, the moist air penetrating his body and taking away the fatigue after mental work.

At the research institute.

Zhao Shengwen's team has completed its project and joined the nuclear fusion team with all its members. Meanwhile, Zheng Xu is also working overtime to iterate on the samples, striving to achieve the best performance, and at the same time, he is working with Zero Point Technology to apply for a patent.

The battery industry is indeed experiencing some turbulent developments.

Various companies seem to be making moves lately, but they're not doing it with the same fanfare as before; they're keeping a very low profile.

"Since neither of you is willing to talk, let's wait a few days and do something big."

After drinking tea for a while, Xu Qingzhou turned around, packed up his documents, and prepared to go home.

When he had free time, besides reading materials and studying the theory of supersymmetric zeta functions, his main job was to be Song Yao's nanny.

Just as busy as Zheng Xu and his team is Zero Point Technology. They need to apply for patents, promote industrialization, such as pilot testing and mass production, research technology licensing and standard setting, and see what kind of cooperation model they can have with other companies in the future.

As the boss, Song Yao naturally couldn't escape it; she had to look at all sorts of materials until midnight every day.
