Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 149 World of Suzhou!! (Second Update!)
He knocked a few times, then stopped.

Because this charger and meter are his old companions, even closer companions than some of his students!
An old friend like me can't be wrong!

The professor, majoring in energy storage materials at Suzhou University, slowly raised his head and looked at Lin Yi with a puzzled expression.

This is a very intuitive math problem.

According to the data provided by Lin Yi, the energy density of this energy storage material is 520 watt-hours/kg. 3kg translates to 1560 watt-hours, or 1.56 kilowatt-hours, commonly known as 1.56 kilowatt-hours of electricity.

Even if the charging loss is reduced to 50% and the battery capacity is adjusted by 10%, the maximum value displayed on the meter is only 3.432 kWh.

This jumps directly to 8.1.

This is fucking bizarre!

But there are no ghosts in this world, so there's only one possibility left.

The information Lin Yi provided was genuine, but the actual data was filled in haphazardly, filled in with his feet.

Thinking of this possibility, Meng Hai couldn't help but close his eyes and take deep breaths of the February air.

After calming his inner turmoil, he looked up at Lin Yi again and asked:

"President Lin, the data you provided is fake, isn't it?"

In response to the question, Lin Yi gave a cryptic smile, put his hands behind his back, and calmly replied:

"real!"

There is nothing else besides these two words.

Upon hearing those two words, Meng Hai could only smile wryly and lower his head. Was it the data that was real? Or the material itself? Or was it true that he had said Meng Hai had provided false data?

Either one is possible.

With a self-deprecating chuckle, Meng Hai turned around to connect the testing equipment.

Watching his departing figure, Lin Yi shrugged and continued to keep his hands behind his back.

Even taking into account charging losses, the reason why this battery can be charged to 8.1 kWh is quite simple.

[Note: Because high-tech is mostly found in the military field, when producing military equipment, the characteristics are increased by 500%!]

Even if others rack their brains, they absolutely cannot find the reason once they get the information.

On the open ground ahead, Meng Hai had also prepared the testing equipment, a series of light bulbs.

Ten 1-kilowatt incandescent light bulbs.

A 1000-watt incandescent light bulb consumes 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity in one hour.

Ten 1-kilowatt incandescent bulbs consume 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity in 6 minutes. The charging display shows 8.1 kilowatt-hours, requiring 48.6 minutes of operation.

A very intuitive math problem.

The switch was pressed, and the incandescent bulbs lit up. Ten 1-kilowatt incandescent bulbs emitted a bright light, completely illuminating the square in front of the laboratory building.

Meng Hai was quite close, and he could directly feel the heat emitted by the incandescent light bulb.

Looking at the light and feeling the heat, the professor of energy storage materials at Suzhou University breathed a sigh of relief.

This is indeed a battery; Lin Yi wasn't lying to himself.

Next, we need to test the battery's charging and discharging capabilities, as well as its safety.

As for the other control systems for the battery, we'll have to wait and see.

This battery currently only has the most basic functions: it can only test charge and discharge, and its safety when punctured.

The light was bright, and Meng Hai would occasionally look down at the stopwatch in his hand. In his decades of life, he had never felt that time was passing as slowly as it was now.

too slow.

But he had no choice but to keep an eye on it.

Time marches on, and the second hand of the professional stopwatch makes a loud and noisy sound as it ticks.

When the red numbers on the stopwatch reached 47 minutes and 32 seconds, the 10 bright incandescent bulbs suddenly went out, exposing the completely darkened campus to the group.

In the darkness, Meng Hai opened his mouth wide and took several deep breaths of cold air.

Then, before the electrician turned on the light switch, he controlled his expression and returned to being Professor Meng Hai, who always had a smile on his face and remained calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.

The lights came on, and he first dismissed the electrician, then walked up to Lin Yi, smiling as he extended his right hand:

"Senior Brother Lin, in academia, those who excel are valued above all else. From this day forward, you are my senior brother."

Lin Yi smiled and shook hands with him.

He didn't refuse, but simply nodded and hummed in agreement, which was considered his acceptance of being called "senior brother".

He released his grip, called Cao Bin and the others over, and then pointed at Meng Hai:
"Call me brother!"

After a few years of graduate studies and a few days of working, Cao Bin and his companions had begun to understand human nature. They readily and decisively bowed and respectfully addressed Meng Hai:

"Hello, senior brother!"

After they finished greeting each other, Lin Yi pointed at them and said to Meng Hai:

"They won't go home for the Chinese New Year; they're planning to finish the paper on this battery and publish it in Science after the holiday."

“If Junior Brother Meng has any suitable people, you can bring them over and add two names.”

In short, Meng Hai's face broke into a wide grin.

Research results of this caliber could be directly evaluated for national-level awards in China, published in Science, and could be authored by at least a research team of hundreds of people.

The first author of such a paper, just by standing there, is a shining gold signboard.

One can imagine how wildly applications of this new energy technology will emerge after this paper is published.

For many people, they might never get such a team credit in their entire lives.

Using a paper of this caliber to curry favor.

Cruel person!

He mentally gave Lin Yi a thumbs up and quietly praised him for his good manners before approaching Lin Yi and asking in a low voice:

"Isn't Senior Brother Lin planning to take first authorship?"

"I'm not interested in research, I'm more interested in causing trouble," Lin Yi waved his hand, rejecting Meng Hai's offer.

"When recruiting people into the team, remember to find two reliable ones." Lin Yi patted Meng Hai on the shoulder and then pointed to the batteries on the ground:

"We'll need to trouble Junior Brother Meng with Secretary Qin's side."

“My men have been busy all day, so I’ll take them back to rest first. After all, they’ll be working like cattle again in a couple of days.”

"It's quite tiring!"

Meng Hai was also eager to share the news, so he didn't pay much attention to Lin Yi's behavior of using people as shields.

He simply patted his chest and loudly assured, "Don't worry about Secretary Qin. With me here, no one can bother Senior Brother Lin."

"That's fine!" With a wave of his hand, Lin Yi led a large group of people out.

Stepping outside and seeing the empty streets, the group was dumbfounded again.

There were few taxis available; there were 12 people and only one Santana available.

After a brief silence, Ji Shuangshuang rushed towards the passenger seat of the Santana with lightning speed.

Lin Yi took the keys and walked towards the driver's seat.

The remaining 10 people looked at each other, then took a deep breath and walked to the back seat of the Santana.

Ten people can squeeze in, since the trunk can also seat a few.

A few minutes later, the Santana started and drove toward a nearby hotel.

At a red light intersection, Lin Yi stopped the car, looked at the person behind him in the rearview mirror, and asked:

"Are we confident that we can be included in the youth talent development program within 10 years?"

The back seat of the Santana was packed with people, and when asked the question, none of them spoke, but instead nodded frantically.

Seeing their expressions, Lin Yi comforted them, "We'll buy a car after the New Year, and your task is to get all these patented technologies and related papers out for me."

"We want to tell the world that we are the strongest."

His bold words drew enthusiastic nods from the people in the back seat.

The commotion in the back seat also disturbed the people in the trunk.

However, the two were separated by the car window and the seats.

The people in the trunk, naturally, couldn't hear the noise from the back seat. They glanced back once, then continued to enjoy the receding scenery.

On the other side, Meng Hai packed up all the stuff and loaded it into the car. He then floored the accelerator and sped off towards the city government.

According to Qin Chao's work habits, he wouldn't be off work yet at this time.

You'll get stuck in traffic if you go to the city government.

At the municipal government, Qin Chao had just finished a meeting when his secretary, Xiao He, approached him:

"Secretary, Professor Meng just called and said we should prepare a spacious room. He's bringing some things over so we can take a look."

Finally, Secretary He added with a serious expression:
"Professor Meng sounded both anxious and excited on the phone."

thing?

Is it urgent?
Are you excited?

Qin Chao's mind raced, and he remembered what Meng Hai had said about Lin Yi borrowing his lab.

The implication is that Lin Yi plans to make a battery directly in the lab and show it to everyone.

When Qin Chao first heard this, his first reaction was that young people were unreliable.

Judging from this, could it be that Lin Yi has really done something extraordinary?
impossible?

Just as he was having doubts, a pleasant ringtone came from Xiao He's waist. He took out his phone, glanced at it, and immediately handed it to Qin Chao:

"Secretary, it's Professor Meng."

Qin Chao answered the phone casually, and Meng Hai's exclamation came through the receiver:
"I'm at the door!"

A dozen minutes later, in the lobby of the municipal government canteen, Meng Hai directed people to arrange everything, then turned to look at Qin Chao:

"Secretary Qin, this year is going to be tough!"

After saying that, he snapped his fingers, and Xiao He pulled the charger switch. The charger started working, charging the seemingly inconspicuous battery.

Several tens of minutes later, the green light on the charger lit up, indicating that charging was complete.

Meng Hai eagerly unplugged the charging cable and connected the 10 test light bulbs to the battery. Only after Xiao He turned off the cafeteria lights as instructed did he suddenly press the switch.

In the darkness, ten 1-kilowatt incandescent bulbs suddenly lit up, illuminating the dimly lit conference room as if it were daytime.

Those who had been staring at the light bulbs felt as if they had been hit by a flashbang.

He started screaming in agony, clutching his eyes.

Qin Chao opened his mouth to ask a question, but before he could speak, Meng Hai interrupted him, pointing at the light bulb:

"Watch it first!"

This look lasted for several tens of minutes.

The incandescent bulbs were dim, while the cafeteria lights came on.

Looking at the bright lights, Qin Chao finally understood. He organized his thoughts and asked Meng Hai:

What level is this battery at?

"Far ahead!" Meng Hai uttered a word, then waved his hands as if to dismiss the word.

He stopped waving and said calmly:

"The current benchmark for new energy vehicles, America's Tesla, uses Panasonic ternary lithium batteries."

"The energy density is approximately 210 Wh/kg."

“And this battery.” Meng Hai kicked the battery on the ground. He didn’t use much force, but perhaps the glue between the battery cover and the battery body wasn’t properly attached.

With those two kicks, the black plastic cap on top tilted.

Upon seeing this, his face darkened, and he quickly added:
"Based on a rough estimate, the energy density of this battery is approximately 2.5 kWh/kg."

"10 times!"

The moment this number was uttered, Qin Chao was forced to retreat repeatedly.

In his best-case scenario, all he could hope for was that Lin Yi could produce a battery comparable to Panasonic's ternary lithium batteries.

Even at this level, it can greatly fill the gaps in the domestic market.

Now, 10 times!
He felt like he had just gone to a lottery shop to exchange for change, bought a lottery ticket on a whim, and won five million.

So cool, so cool!
A battery that is 10 times better than Panasonic's.

If Suzhou can achieve mass production, it will definitely be able to seize the global market.

At that time, "China" and "the world" can be added before "Suzhou".

Suzhou, the capital of China!

Suzhou, the world's largest city!

From now on, whenever the people of Suzhou mention the name Qin Chao, they will think of themselves.

They could even climb a significant step higher by leveraging their contributions to the development of new energy sources.

The more Qin Chao thought about it, the more excited he became.

But the more excited he became, the calmer he remained.

This news must be blocked immediately. The surrounding cities must not know about this. Once those bastards find out, they will shamelessly flock to us and try every means to trick us into going there.

We need to have the police assign a few people to guard it.

We must keep people from the surrounding cities out!
In addition to people from several surrounding cities, there were also people from other countries.

These people are all my enemies!

When dealing with enemies, we should sweep them away and eliminate them like autumn leaves in the wind, without showing them any mercy!
Especially neighboring Nanjing!
If you want to seize the global market, 1000 acres of land is not enough.

Lin Yi's planning document also needs to be thrown away, what's with the talk of two or three years?

Two or three years is too long; we must seize the day!

One year!
I personally took charge and helped him coordinate everything, and the goods were delivered within a year!
1000 mu of land is not enough, add more!
Add it all up.

We want the whole world to know that Suzhou produces the world's best batteries.

Having made up his mind, Qin Chao slowly walked to Meng Hai's side, hooked his right arm around Meng Hai's shoulder, and lowered his voice:
"Professor Meng, you are a professor in Suzhou, so everything we do is for Suzhou."

"So, just pretend you know nothing about what happened today."

"After the meeting, take this battery and continue testing."

"If someone contacts you, just say you don't know anything, you don't know anything at all."

"Understand?"

Meng Hai was a smart man, and he knew very well why Qin Chao would say that.

He nodded slightly, then made a needle-threading motion with his finger near his lips:

"My mouth is like a sealed pocket; I will never utter a single extra word."

After receiving Meng Hai's response, Qin Chao patted him on the shoulder again and gestured towards Xiao He:
"Xiao He, go and inform the mayors, as well as the comrades in the city's planning, housing and construction, industry and commerce, banking, and transportation departments."

"Tell them that we're not celebrating the New Year. We'll have a meeting in the main conference room in two hours."

"Everyone must be here. If anyone is not, don't blame me for being ruthless."
