Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

"I'm not quite sure!" Yi Xiong said, "The outer material is a kind of He Jin, which is very strange. I've never seen this He Jin before, but if we break it up and send it to the steel mill for them to study, we should be able to replicate it in no more than three months. However, we don't know about the core electrolyte inside!"

"If you want to know, you'll have to break it open and take a look!" Kazuo said, looking at Kazeta Shōnan.

This thing was bought for a hundred million yuan. Without Zhang Nan's order, who would dare to break it?

"However?" Kazuo Kishida said, "Considering the future development direction of batteries, only solid-state plasma batteries can achieve such a high energy density!"

"However, until now, there are no good solid-state plasma materials."

"Having good materials doesn't guarantee achieving a plasma state; that's the most difficult part!"

It has to be said, Kazuo is really awesome.

He actually guessed it.

"Can we make an electrolyte into a plasma state?" Zhang Nan asked Yixiong.

Kazuo frowned and said, "We don't have this technology in Japan, but I've heard that Japan can. However, even if it's made into a fully plasma state like an electrolyte, it's still unstable!"

"And it can't be sealed either!"

"Even if you can encapsulate it, this plasma will soon become a true solid-state!"

"It won't be of any use then!"

To put it simply: this is a technology that cannot be achieved or produced even under laboratory conditions.

Not to mention mass-producing people.

Chapter 274 Toyota Bleeds: Three Hundred Million Yuan Gone Down the Drain?

Fengtian Zhangnan's eyes narrowed.

If such cutting-edge technology can achieve this state of energy storage and charging, then based on the current descriptions of the future prospects of the battery industry, there are only two possibilities.

One type is the solid electrolyte plasma battery.

One type is the high-tech fusion and fission battery.

It is obvious that Liu Aiguo's battery can be ruled out immediately; it cannot be a fission-fusion battery.

That leaves only one option: plasma batteries.

However, how could a technologically backward country like China, which is considered technologically inferior, possibly produce such advanced technology, a technology that even the Ouzhou region could not accomplish, or even a technology that the entire world could not accomplish under laboratory conditions?

Has the material of the outer casing been compromised?

"Fengtian Zhangnan asked."

One of them bowed respectfully and said, "We've cracked it... Hehe... Actually, it can't be called cracking it; we've found the source!"

"What do you mean? '440'?" Toyota asked.

The man said, "It's quite a coincidence. This shell was actually manufactured by a steel factory in Japan. They provided the raw materials, but those materials didn't involve any particularly advanced technology. We've already replicated them, and they're exactly the same!"

boom……

The assistant placed the replica shell on Fengtian Zhangnan's desk.

“These shells only weigh thirty-six kilograms!” the assistant said. “We also got the manufacturing parameters and blueprints from back then, please take a look, Mr. Zhang Nan!”

Fengtian Zhangnan took over the blueprints and looked at them.

The shell weighs 36 kilograms.

So that means that this 100-kilogram battery contains only 64 kilograms of electrolyte?

that……

What exactly is inside?

"Boss, there's only one step we haven't done yet!" Chief Engineer Kazuo said, "That's breaking it open and inspecting it to see what's inside."

Feng Tian Zhang Nan nodded: "How's the lab preparation for the raid coming along?"

"Everything is ready!" Yi Xiong said. "It's an isolated, dust-free space, and it's even transparent. There are fourteen regular cameras and three infrared cameras around it, so we can accurately detect the substances inside. Absolutely no problem!"

"it is good!"

Fengtian Zhang Nan said, "Start the experiment immediately. I want to see with my own eyes what's so special about this thing!"

"it is good!"

Ten minutes later, the group arrived at the underground laboratory.

It was a very complex laboratory, enclosed by thick special glass.

Fengtian Zhangnan can just watch from the outside.

Engineers and test workers went inside.

Even Kazuo Kishida didn't dare to go in.

"Break..." Zhang Nan gave the order.

The battery was then fed into the cutting machine.

sizzle sizzle...

Sparks accompanied by lightning.

In less than three minutes, the specially designed steel shell was broken open.

boom……

Immediately afterwards, a beam of ions carrying lightning shot out.

It was as beautiful and dazzling as fireworks.

"Ahhh..." The test worker was wearing thick protective clothing, but upon seeing this situation, he was still so frightened that he immediately crawled into the pre-prepared rescue space.

sizzle sizzle...

The ion beam was sprayed for about a minute before stopping.

Although the spraying was completed at this point, the entire laboratory was enveloped by a special gas, and the indoor pressure instantly soared to thirteen atmospheres.

In this situation, a person could be crushed to death.

"Quick...quick...quick...depressurize..."

With a command from Fengtian Zhangnan.

The laboratory left and initiated the depressurization procedure.

Yi Xiong exclaimed, "The stone is actually a gas? My God, there's compressed gas inside?"

"Isn't it a solid-state battery?"

Yi Xiong was puzzled.

"Analyze the gas composition inside!"

Fengtian Zhangnan gave the order.

In fact, gas detection equipment had already been placed in the laboratory, and the data had already been generated.

"It's methane!"

"Methane?" Feng Tianzhangnan was slightly surprised: "Combustible ice?"

"It must be like this... using combustible ice to make solid-state batteries, and then using combustible ice as an electrolyte to excite them into ion beams... It must be like this!"

"Break open another one!" Feng Tian Zhang Nan said. "This time, I'm absolutely certain that it's not methane hydrate inside!"

"Yes……"

"Zoom the camera in, show it to me, look closely..."

The second battery was taken out, and then... well, you know!

boom……

It's broken!

Similar to the first one, but Toyota obtained significantly more data.

This time, not only was the amount of methane gas detected, but the process of combustible ice changing from a solid ion-confined state to a gaseous free ion state was also observed.

After analysis by Toyota's experts, they unanimously agreed on a fundamental concept: the electrolyte is made from combustible ice...

This is not hard to understand.

With the discovery of the two batteries, 90% of their secrets have been revealed.

"Meeting!"

Fengtian Zhangnan immediately convened an on-site meeting.

Experts were asked to evaluate the experience and footage from the two explosions in the laboratory once again.

Finally, Chief Designer Kazuo Kishida said, "Based on our research results, this battery is made by encasing solid-state confined ions in a special metal shell... The positive and negative electrodes and electrolyte inside are clearly visible!"

"The only thing we can't overcome is how they made methane hydrate into an ionized state?"

"We collaborated with top professors from Dongdu University and arrived at the following three hypotheses!"

"First, laser excitation!"
