Start with a blacksmith shop.

Chapter 171 is incredibly awesome

A slight smile appeared on Liu Xiaodong's already thinner face—a smile that all men would understand.

Based on his memory, he found the largest car in the showroom, while the saleswoman followed behind him, holding a stack of temporary license plates.

Seeing the HiPhi he had chosen, I quickly pulled out two temporary license plates belonging to that car from a stack of temporary plates.

She ran to his side and handed him two temporary cards, but he didn't take them.

"Go tell your manager first, sign the purchase contract for this car, and let my brother pay the money first."

I'm in a bit of a hurry, so I need to drive this car back first!

He sent the salesperson to the front, while he himself carefully examined the vehicle from inside.

The car gives off a high-tech feel, which may seem a bit flashy to those who don't like it, but that doesn't detract from the car's technological presentation.

Soon, the saleswoman came running over with all the relevant information about the car.

Even those 7-centimeter stiletto heels couldn't stop her running speed.

"Sir, I have brought all the necessary documents. You can drive this car away now, and the temporary license plate was applied for in advance."

"I will take you to the vehicle management office to handle the registration and ownership transfer."

He threw the document bag that the other party handed him onto the second row of the car, and without being polite to the salesperson, he went straight to the second row and sat down.

"Alright, since you're in charge of the transfer of ownership, you can drive the car. I'll just sit and ride!"

The salesperson nodded and told him to wait a moment. When the salesperson returned, in addition to the bag on his back, he was also carrying a pair of flat shoes in his hand.

After getting in the car, I changed out of my high heels, drove out of the showroom, and headed towards the vehicle management office.

After the car left the city and drove for a while, the young woman driving didn't head straight for the vehicle management office.

Instead, it wisely turned onto a deserted side road while on the road.

After the car came to a stop, she put her high heels back on, took a document out of her bag, and handed it to him.

"This is my medical report. Sir, please rest assured and accept my services. Leave everything to me!"

He then moved from the driver's seat to the second row, and the battle began, with the car bobbing up and down.

In other words, there was no one nearby. If there were, they would have seen a pair of long legs in high heels appear on the car window.

After the battle, the saleswoman swallowed what was in her mouth, cleaned up all the traces, changed back into flat shoes, and headed towards the vehicle management office with the window open.

For him, this incident was just a quick fix. No matter how delicious the food at home is, you get tired of it if you eat it all the time. It's nice to have something different every now and then.

The vehicle management office is very efficient; the car dealership must have pulled some strings here.

After completing all the formalities, he drove straight home. As for the surprised young lady, after finishing the vehicle registration, he had no further connection with her.

On the way, he made a phone call to Liu Xiaodong, and the two briefly reconciled their stories. After that, he drove home with peace of mind.

This HiPhi is pretty good to drive, and the interior is full of technology. No wonder it was created by Ding Sanshi, one of the three musketeers of the internet. His products are always at the forefront of the times.

The car wasn't driven directly back to his new home; instead, it went straight into the factory area in Shuzhen, to the workshop that had been specially built for him.

It's called a workshop, but it's actually his own laboratory.

The laboratory is well-equipped; all the equipment he usually uses has been moved here, and a room has been built specifically for him to rest in the laboratory.

After parking the car, he threw all his clothes into the washing machine with the dryer.

Afterwards, I went straight to the restroom, took a quick shower, put on my work clothes, went to the car, and lifted the car that had just left the showroom.

No one could have predicted that this car's life would be so bumpy before it left the factory.

He was just bought and used to start a war. After the war, that's not all; he will be dissected on the operating table.

His goal this time was very clear: to drain all the brake fluid and gear oil, making it look dirty.

Once he was covered in oil stains, he threw down his tools, sauntered out of the factory area in his work clothes, and headed home.

His actions were incredibly steady, a high-standard mouth-wiping procedure after sneaking a bite.

When I got home, Li Yun had already returned and prepared dinner. As usual, we ate, watched TV, and went to bed.

Once back in the virtual lab, he continued his research on lithium batteries.

But the scene he manifested at this moment was quite different; he saw a vast, empty grassland.

The area around him was surrounded by bookshelves, and around the bookshelves were rings of new energy vehicles.

This can be seen as a way for him to motivate himself. Once he has cleared all the books on the bookshelf, the cars outside the bookshelf will become his next target.

As time passed, half a month had gone by since he went to Shuicheng to buy a car. He and Liu Xiaodong had managed to get through this ordeal safely because they had coordinated their statements in advance.

And in the past two weeks, he finally managed to get the battery out.

What kind of battery? He gave the battery a very simple and easy-to-understand name.

The principle behind the super graphene lithium-ion battery is quite simple: it utilizes the high-speed, high-volume movement of lithium ions between graphene and electrodes to develop a high-energy-density new energy battery.

Kyushu is home to two world-renowned battery giants: one is Dening Technology, and the other is a battery manufacturer disguised as a car company.

The two companies are competitors, and there is a difference in their products; one is lithium iron phosphate and the other is ternary lithium.

As mentioned earlier, these two types are the most widely used lithium batteries in the world.

Compared to ternary lithium batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries have a price advantage and exhibit less performance degradation over long-term use.

It is also safer than ternary lithium batteries, with obvious advantages in terms of bulging and fire resistance.

However, its disadvantages are also obvious: relatively low energy density, slower charging speed compared to ternary lithium batteries, and lower yield.

These two fully mature lithium batteries were not his first choice, nor did he consider upgrading to them.

Instead, they chose a different approach and opted for an emerging material – graphene. What are the unique features of this material?

It all started with graphene. With the help of the Eye of Analysis, he has created a battery that can be described as extremely advanced over the past thirty years.

The charging speed is 80 to 200 times faster than that of ordinary lithium batteries.

The total capacity of the battery is 5 to 8 times that of lithium batteries on the market.

Of course, specific adjustments are needed, and the optimal state after final calibration is the maximum value mentioned above.

Why does it have such abnormal properties? That has to do with the material graphene.

Graphene is a single-layer, two-dimensional honeycomb structure material with tightly packed carbon atoms, which can be simply described as a network structure.

Because of its extremely thin thickness (only one atom thick), the movement of cations is not restricted much.

At the same time, because of its mesh structure, the electrode material made of graphene also has sufficient pores.

In the production of ordinary batteries, special additives are first added to the electrolyte to remove trace amounts of water, thereby avoiding electrolyte decomposition caused by high temperatures.

The positive electrode of ordinary batteries typically uses large single-crystal ternary materials to improve the thermal stability of the material.

The graphene he used was quite different, due to its unique physical properties.

It can quickly dissipate the heat generated by lithium ions during movement, greatly improving battery performance.

Compared to ordinary batteries, graphene has three major advantages: faster charging speed, longer lifespan, and larger battery capacity.

Furthermore, once the method is mastered, the cost is relatively low when mass production is carried out.

Looking at the charging and discharging process of a battery, it is essentially a process of cations being "embedded" and "detached" in the electrodes.

Therefore, the more pores there are in the motor material, the faster this process will proceed.

This phenomenon has led to the increasingly faster charging and discharging of batteries.

Graphene perfectly fits this process; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's like having a cheat code.

Ternary lithium batteries charge ten times faster than lead-acid batteries, especially with the advent of fast charging technology in recent years, which involves high-voltage, high-current charging, allowing them to be fully charged in just one or two hours.

The battery he developed this time charges 80 to 200 times faster than the ternary lithium batteries commonly used.

Is that outrageous? Absolutely outrageous!

"Outrageous" is an understatement to describe this speed; it's downright abnormal.

At speeds tens or even hundreds of times faster, to the point of being unable to brake, his supercharging station takes twenty minutes to charge to 50% and eighty minutes to fully charge.

And what about the graphene battery he developed this time? It charges at least 80 times faster than ternary lithium batteries.

In other words, even with the shortest charging time, it takes less than a minute to charge the battery to 80%, and the remaining 20% ​​can be charged in no more than three minutes using the charging protection mode.

What does this mean? It means that as long as there are enough charging stations on the road, cars equipped with these graphene batteries can completely replace gasoline-powered cars.

Refueling used to take only a few minutes, and now charging also takes only a few minutes, thus solving the biggest limitation of vehicle use.

Can you say this battery isn't outrageous? Not abnormal?

This is definitely cutting-edge technology!
