Chapter 180 Showing off

Upon hearing Li Zhenhua's words, Wang Yuesheng smiled and replied to him.

"Ha, you little rascal, you told me this morning that it was so important, I also felt that it was a big deal, so I rushed over."

Li Zhenhua smiled somewhat embarrassedly, then realized what he meant and addressed him again.

"Hehehe, sir, let's not talk here anymore. Come with me to the company, let's sit down and talk."

This thing I made is really big, and I really don't know what to do with it!

"Have the driver follow me and bring the car in!"

Wang Yuesheng nodded, walked through the gate, got back on his balance bike, and led the three bikes behind him into the factory.

The car stopped in front of his own workshop. Six people got out of the car that followed, and then Wang Yuesheng and an old man got out.

Their company can be considered a military-industrial enterprise to some extent, and the military has also contributed to the company's security, which made the work of these six guards much easier at this time.

Li Zhenhua looked at the old man who got out of the car with Wang Yuesheng, a slightly puzzled expression on his face, but he didn't ask immediately.

He led Wang Yuesheng into his private workshop, which could also be described as a private laboratory.

The six guards they brought stayed at the entrance to wait. The three of them walked into the workshop together, through a passageway,

One side of the passageway has a huge window, and the interior of the window is divided into many areas.

He didn't take Wang Yuesheng directly to the prototype vehicle, but first took him to his rest area in the workshop.

After settling the two old men in the rest area and serving them each a cup of tea, he sat down as well.

After seeing him sit down, Wang Yuesheng didn't say anything else, but first introduced the old man he had brought with him.

"Young Li, aren't you curious about who this old man next to me is? Let me introduce him to you first."

"Once the introductions are finished, you can get to your business. If I don't introduce things, I'm sure you won't be able to talk about your business in peace."

He pointed at the old man and introduced him with a smile.

"This is Liu Qian, a renowned expert in fluid mechanics from Kyushu, and the chief designer of the Big Black Fish and AIP Black Fish, as well as an academician of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences."

These few titles alone filled Li Zhenhua with awe. These were national treasures, the cornerstone of Kyushu's standing in the world.

He quickly stood up and greeted Liu Qian respectfully.

"Greetings, Chief Engineer Liu. I never expected you to return to my humble abode. I am truly sorry for my disrespect."

Seeing his reaction, Wang Yuesheng was very pleased. The young man opposite him had not become arrogant because of his achievements, which made him very gratified.

"Haha, Xiao Li, please sit down. No need to be so polite. Old Liu, this young man is the kid I told you about on the way here."

He was also the designer of the J-36, a very visionary young man.

Now I'm also an associate researcher at your Kyushu Academy of Sciences. Come to think of it, you two were colleagues!

Wang Yuesheng's words significantly eliminated the sense of distance between the old man and the young man, laying the foundation for their subsequent conversation.

After the introductions were completed, Wang Yuesheng felt it was time to get down to business.

"Tell me, what exactly is it that makes you so serious?"

"You're describing a very broad range of impacts. Could you please tell us about them as well?"

With Wang Yuesheng's example, it was easier for him to get started as well.

"Commander and Chief Engineer Liu, let me first give a brief overview of what I've developed."

Just as Minister Wang guessed, otherwise you wouldn't have brought Chief Engineer Liu along.

I developed a battery and a charging system to match it.

This is the most important thing. As for the others, there are some practical application devices based on batteries.

That's all for now, just to give you both a general idea.

After finishing speaking, he didn't continue, pausing for less than a minute to give the two time to process what he had said before continuing to speak to them.

Wang Yuesheng, having already guessed, quickly accepted the suggestion and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, please continue. I have accepted the information you just provided."

Liu Qian, who was next to him, nodded, indicating that he also understood what it meant.

Seeing their expressions, he didn't immediately continue his introduction.

"Sir, Chief Engineer Liu, in the automotive laboratory we just passed, there are actual prototypes that I made."

Why don't we move over there and explain as we look at the actual items? That way it will be more intuitive.

The two readily agreed, and he immediately got up, picked up three bottles of mineral water, and led them toward the car laboratory.

The cleanliness level of the automotive laboratory is not that high, so it does not have cleanroom systems such as air showers installed.

Upon entering the laboratory, the first thing they saw was not anything else, but a bulletproof Volkswagen Santana that had been partially dismantled.

Wang Yuesheng knew what was going on, so he wasn't surprised. But this was the first time he'd seen Liu Qian like this.

He was still quite surprised that the car, which was clearly riddled with holes from being hit all day, showed no damage to the interior when he looked inside.

Liu Qian lingered on the car at the hornet's nest for half a minute before observing the entire laboratory again.

Then his gaze was drawn to the second most eye-catching car in the workshop.

At this moment, Minister Wang had already walked over to the prototype vehicle, looked at the obviously brand-new car, and then looked at Li Zhenhua standing next to it.

Wang Yuesheng pointed to the car and asked him, "This must be your main character this time. Come on, introduce him to us."

"Let me see for myself what it is that makes you so cautious."

He nodded as he picked up an 18650 battery from the worktable next to the car.

He approached Wang Yuesheng and Liu Qian with the battery in his hand, revealing the battery in his palm to them.

He did not answer Wang Yuesheng's question immediately, but instead stretched out his palm.

"Do you two know what this is in my hand?"

Both of them clearly knew the answer to this question, but their levels of understanding differed.

"It's just a battery, isn't it? My wife's radio uses this thing as its power source." That was Wang Yuesheng's answer.

"This is an 18650 battery. Electric vehicles with non-stop license plates and most lithium-ion new energy vehicles on the market use this battery as their cell." This answer, which allows him to name the battery model, is clearly Liu Qian.

Li Zhenhua nodded in agreement with their answers, and then posed another question.

"So, guess how many mAh this battery in my hand is?"

Wang Yuesheng seemed somewhat at a loss when faced with this question; he genuinely didn't know how to answer it, as it was a blind spot in his knowledge.

But Liu Qian actually knew about it, because the project he was currently in charge of required this equipment for conventionally powered black carp.

He had seen information about this type of battery when he was researching lithium batteries before.

Generally speaking, the capacity of this type of 18650 battery can reach 2500-3600mAh.

If it goes any higher, then there's no limit, assuming there's no technological breakthrough.

I had previously researched this type of battery. It is sold on Taobao, but the 4800, 9800, or even tens of thousands of mAh ratings on those products are all false.

Since you're asking this question, it's because you're using your new technology in this device.

Then I'll take a bold guess; I'll make a bold assumption that the battery you have has a capacity of 9800mAh.

Upon hearing Liu Qian's words, a smug smile appeared on his face, and he shook his head as he laughed.

"Hehe, Chief Engineer Liu, you're mistaken. Why don't you be a little bolder?"

"15,000 milliampere-hours, that's my boldest guess."

He continued to shake his head in denial. At this moment, after Liu Qian's brief explanation, Wang Yuesheng learned about the specifications of ordinary batteries.

He was now eager to know the data of the battery in Li Zhenhua's hand.

"Hey, Li, stop beating around the bush and just tell us. If you don't tell us..."

Don't blame me for punishing you by making you go to the Quancheng Military Region for military training. Don't forget you still have a position as an active-duty technical officer!

Hearing Wang Yuesheng's threats, which sounded like those of an old child, he stopped being coy and realized he couldn't risk getting himself into military training again.

"Hehe, I'll be frank, this battery has ten times the energy density of ordinary batteries on the market."

The battery I have here has a measured capacity of 30000 mAh.

When this battery capacity data was announced, the two people opposite him simultaneously gaped open.

What does ten times the energy density mean? This reminded them of a popular saying from Nanfu: "One section is stronger than six sections."

What they are now facing is a weapon that is equivalent to ten, the same size but capable of ten times the effect.

This is no small improvement; with performance figures like these, the range of applications is extremely wide.

At this moment, Wang Yuesheng understood why what he had said on the phone earlier had such a large impact.

With this battery capacity, the driving range of current new energy pure electric vehicles can be increased tenfold.

Take the smallest Wuling "Happy Box" minivan as an example; that vehicle has a range of 120 kilometers or 170 kilometers.

If the battery pack is made with this type of battery, the driving range will directly exceed 1000 kilometers.

A single charge can power a car for 1000 kilometers, which is practically a death sentence for gasoline-powered cars!

At that moment, Wang Yuesheng thought of many things, not only about electric vehicles, but also about their impact on various industries.

Furthermore, various types of electrical military equipment can spring up in large quantities like mushrooms after rain.

Upon hearing this capacity, Liu Qian didn't think too much about it; he only thought about the new type of AIP Blackfish that he was currently designing.

Unable to contain her excitement, she stepped forward to his side.

He took the battery from his hand and grabbed his shoulder with his other hand, staring intently at him.

"Are you telling the truth? Is this battery stable? Can it really achieve what you say?"

He asked the question eagerly, his face flushed with excitement.

Seeing that Chief Engineer Liu's emotions were fluctuating so much, he was really afraid that the other party would suddenly become agitated and faint, so he quickly began to calm the other party down.

"Chief Engineer Liu, take a deep breath, take a deep breath, I'll tell you now."

The battery I've developed so far is considered to be of acceptable stability.

I previously conducted a puncture test on this battery, and it didn't explode; it just reacted at a high speed.

The reaction generates a lot of heat and black smoke will come out of the battery's pressure relief valve. Minister Wang can testify to this.

Last time it was hit by an anti-tank mine, it emitted a lot of black smoke, but the entire battery pack didn't explode or catch fire.

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Qian's emotions, which he had just tried to calm down, surged again.

He loosened his grip on Li Zhenhua's arm, but he was still in a highly agitated state, slowly walking to the side to think about his own things.

Seeing Liu Qian's astonished expression after seeing the battery data, he looked at Wang Yuesheng...

Minister Wang, as expected of someone who has weathered many storms, quickly adjusted his emotions.

Looking into Li Zhenhua's eyes, one could see a look of great satisfaction and genuine happiness for him.

"Sir, I haven't finished my introduction yet. Shall I continue?"

Wang Yuesheng nodded, and then he continued speaking.

"First of all, what I just mentioned was only the data on battery capacity. Let me continue..."

My battery also supports supercharging and discharging. I've designed a charging station with a charging voltage of 10 kV and a charging current of 960 amps.

I designed an 800 kWh battery pack, which theoretically takes five minutes to fully charge.

This is the supercharging rate, and it can also super discharge, but for my current project...

I haven't used this feature, so I haven't tested it.

These are the basic specifications for this battery.

Even if Wang Yuesheng didn't understand, he could tell what it meant to fully charge an 800kWh battery pack in five minutes.

At this moment, he really wanted to send the kid's head to the Kyushu Academy of Sciences for research. How could there be such an extraordinary genius in the world!

Despite thinking this, he felt that the national treasure attribute of the kid opposite him was becoming stronger and stronger.

Just as he was still thinking about the application of this battery, Li Zhenhua pulled him to the side of the prototype vehicle.

"Sir, I just talked to you about batteries. Now I'll tell you about some applications I've made with this battery."

Look at this somewhat ugly thing, it looks like a gas pump, but it's the supercharging station I designed, which I just introduced to you. I won't go into details about this one.

Please look where I'm pointing. This is a new energy pure electric vehicle that I designed.

Before I talk about the car's performance, let me first introduce the electric motor I designed.

I think this is even more important than the car itself.

I designed two electric motors in total, both for use in vehicles, so they are not very large in size.

One model has a power output of 320 kilowatts, while the other has 480 kilowatts, which translates to 435 horsepower and 652 horsepower respectively.

The two electric motors I used on the prototype were 435 horsepower for the front motor and 652 horsepower for the rear motor.

The total power output is 800, or 1087 horsepower. With my designed 800 kWh battery pack, this car can travel 3500 kilometers.

Oh dear, as I was talking, I ended up talking about the whole vehicle.

Hehe, actually, this wasn't the solution I initially used. I originally planned for a front-one-rear-two motor layout.

The design itself wasn't particularly difficult, but the final power output was staggering: 1120 kW, or 1522 horsepower.

It's comparable to 99 main site, so I reduced the design to 1087 horsepower.

Listening to what Li Zhenhua said, Wang Yuesheng also felt a headache coming on and looked at him as if he were an alien.

When did 99.com become a unit of measurement? This is just too much!

The vehicle they created was just one, weighing no more than three tons, yet it boasted a power output of over a thousand horsepower.

What is this? This is a performance monster! Looks like he'll have to tell that kid over there about it.

There's no need to go for such a high horsepower; it only increases costs. Even if it has a lot of horsepower, it still won't have a place to be used in China.

Just then, Li Zhenhua on the other side continued speaking.

"Hehehe, since we've already been talking about cars, let me continue."

Actually, I have some concerns about the car's battery pack; I feel it's a bit too large.

I plan to adjust the battery pack capacity later, reducing the original 800kWh battery pack to around 200 or 300kWh.

The goal is for the officially released cars to have a slightly higher mileage than current gasoline-powered cars, ideally reaching 800 to 1000 kilometers.

If you pile up the data too high all at once, it'll be hard to price this car, hehehe.

After saying that, he laughed, a laugh that Wang Yuesheng found utterly infuriating and worthy of a beating.

"Ha, you do know you're a bit ahead of your time. If your car goes on sale, just wait and see if those car companies around the world will give you trouble."

Furthermore, the prototype you created has too much power. I think you should reduce the electric motor to a single 320kW motor.

That's quite a lot of horsepower, 435 horsepower. Do you know how much horsepower a Land Cruiser has?

310 horsepower? You definitely can't release a car with those specs as they are now. It's too much. The performance is too good.

"Alright, let's not talk about your car anymore. Is there anything else you haven't told me?"

After comparing the designs, Wang Yuesheng realized that his current prototype design seemed to be out of touch with the general public. If he were to launch it to the market like this, the price would definitely not be low.

It seemed he still had to reduce the car's performance. Then, upon hearing Wang Yuesheng's question, he regained his seriousness.

Because the most important thing hasn't been said yet, and everything mentioned before is developed from this most basic thing.

"You can see right through anything! There's something very important I haven't told you yet! Hehehe..."

Wang Yuesheng knew the other party had something special to finish, so he glared at him.

"Say it!"

"My main focus and most fundamental topic this time is graphene, because that's the material with the biggest impact!"
