Cutting-edge technology: Starting with individual stealth equipment

Chapter 122 The military was greatly encouraged upon learning this.

July 25, DeepBlue Technology's new headquarters.

Shen Yuxin entered Lin Chuan's office and placed a report and a USB drive on his desk. This was an experimental report compiled by Luo Xiangdong.

"Senior, this is the second-phase experimental report of the quantum energy storage project compiled by Luo Xiangdong. It has already achieved 30 [units/items] in the laboratory."

The minute-level energy storage target is shown on the USB drive, containing experimental data.

Lin Chuan opened the report and went straight to the pages containing the core data.

Femtosecond laser pulse charging, charging time 150 femtoseconds, energy storage time 31 minutes and 04 seconds.

The ratio between these two numbers may not seem significant at first glance, but if you change the unit system, you will truly feel its impact.

One femtosecond equals 10 to 15 seconds, meaning that the energy storage time of one quadrillionth of a second is 1.2 × 10¹⁶ times the charging time, or 120 quadrillion times. This is undoubtedly an astronomical figure.

This ratio is unprecedented in any energy storage technology currently known to humankind.

A mobile phone powered by a traditional lithium battery can last for one or two days on standby after one hour of charging, and the ratio of charging time to energy storage time is only two orders of magnitude.

The extreme asymmetry between the femtosecond-level charging and minute-level energy storage of quantum batteries can be described as a game-changer for chemical batteries.

With a storage time of 30 minutes, the quantum battery is no longer just a device for verifying physical phenomena, but has become an energy system with real application value.

When energy storage time is in the second range, quantum batteries can only power scenarios that require short-term high power output, and their applications are very limited.

For example, the single-pulse firing of directed energy weapons, or the instantaneous acceleration of electromagnetic railguns.

However, once the energy storage time reaches the threshold of minutes, it can continuously power long-endurance tactical drones, all servo systems of individual soldier powered armor, all electronic equipment of field communication command vehicles, and mobile laser air defense systems.

Minute-level energy storage time marks a critical point for quantum batteries to evolve from a tactical support role to a core energy source for main combat equipment.

In the civilian sector, femtosecond-level charging speeds have made the concept of "charging" disappear from the human time perception scale.

To the user, a quantum battery is a battery that never needs to be recharged; it is so fast that you don’t even notice it is fully charged while you are on the move.

Finally, Lin Chuan closed the report and said, "I understand. Go about your business."

Shen Yuxin nodded and left the office, closing the door behind her.

Lin Chuan turned on his computer and created a new encrypted document.

Recipient: Wang Chengjun.

Title: Report on the Latest Advances and Application Maturity of Quantum Energy Storage Technology

Lin Chuan finished writing the report and sent it out through an encrypted channel that afternoon.

Not long after, Wang Chengjun called: "Comrade Lin Chuan, I really didn't expect your technical breakthrough to be progressing so quickly."

Hearing this, Lin Chuan smiled silently, a slight upturn to his lips. How could an open-book exam not be fast?

A moment later, Wang Chengjun on the other end of the phone asked, "Is this data stable?"

Lin Chuan immediately replied, "My team has conducted 15 consecutive tests, and is still testing. The 15 tests already completed..."

In repeated tests, the energy storage time remained consistently around 30 minutes, which is sufficient to demonstrate that this is not a coincidence but a reproducible engineering achievement.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Wang Chengjun's voice came through again.

"Okay. I can now officially tell you that the regional orbital networking project's plan review has been approved, and the payload specifications for the first batch of satellite platforms will be sent to you soon."

Lin Chuan couldn't help but say, "So, DeepBlue Technology's photovoltaic technology and quantum battery charging modules can be applied to engineering..."

"Is it at a certain stage?"

Wang Chengjun: "That's right, but the technical parameters of quantum batteries must be kept strictly confidential, and any external disclosure must be approved."

Lin Chuan: "Understood."

According to the military's plan, the next step is to build the first experimental wireless power supply satellite to verify the precise orbital positioning and real-time power replenishment of ground application equipment by regional orbital satellites.

DeepBlue Technology is responsible for two main modules: the quantum battery charging module and the solar panels that collect energy.

Other modules on the satellite are handled by other research institutions. These include the launch vehicle and sending the satellite into its designated orbit. Deep Blue Technology does not need to do these things, nor does it currently have the capability to do them independently.

Clearly, this is a complex systems engineering project driven by multiple departments.

The source of energy is naturally solar energy harvested in space, using DeepBlue Technology's singlet fission solar energy technology, and directly employing a photoelectric conversion efficiency of over 80%.

Furthermore, since it takes place in outer space, without atmospheric scattering or other interference, the actual energy extraction efficiency is far superior to that on the ground.

At the same time, Lin Chuan received a message from He Yunting that all preparations for the strategic investment by the four major national teams had been completed.

Wednesday, September 26.

Several commercial vehicles drove into the DeepBlue Technology headquarters park. He Yunting got out of the car, and then four more people got out. They were dressed in dark suits and each carried a briefcase.

They entered the headquarters building and, guided by staff, arrived at the conference room on the top floor.

Lin Chuan has already received the message and is waiting here.

As the conference room door opened, He Yunting walked in, wearing a dark gray Zhongshan suit.

The two shook hands, and He Yunting then stepped aside to introduce the four guests behind him one by one: "Comrade Lin Chuan, let me introduce you. This is Comrade Meng Qingyang, Deputy General Manager of CIC; Comrade Zhou Qizheng, Deputy General Manager of SDIC; Comrade Chen Shiyi, Deputy General Manager of China Reform Holdings Corporation; and Comrade Li Wanglin, Deputy General Manager of CCB."

The four people shook hands with Lin Chuan in turn.

Then, everyone took their seats.

Shen Yuxin poured a few cups of tea, then turned and walked to the door, gently closing the conference room door behind her. Only the seven of them remained.

After exchanging pleasantries, they quickly got down to business.

He Yunting opened the folder in front of him and said immediately, "Comrade Lin Chuan, I'm here today to discuss the matters we talked about earlier."

The plan has been finalized. Following internal approval processes and coordination with various organizations, the final plan has been determined.

He looked at Lin Chuan and added, "The four major institutions have collectively invested 2700 billion yuan in cash into DeepBlue Technology, all as strategic investors."

After speaking, He Yunting pushed the document to Lin Chuan, whose gaze fell on it, and he immediately opened it to read.

Four institutions invested capital: China Investment Corporation (CIC) invested 1500 billion yuan and held 25% of the shares; China Development Bank (SDB) invested 600 billion yuan and held 10% of the shares; China Reform Holdings Corporation (CDB) and China Construction Bank (CCB) each invested 300 billion yuan and held 5% of the shares respectively.

The total investment amounted to 2700 billion yuan, holding a 45% stake.

Based on this investment scale, it is equivalent to a post-investment valuation of 6000 billion yuan for DeepBlue Technology.

This is a world record-breaking financing amount. It's worth noting that Alibaba's IPO in the US this year raised $243 billion, breaking the world record for IPO financing.

The four institutions raised 2700 billion yuan, which is equivalent to about 439 billion US dollars. Moreover, it is a real 2700 billion yuan of cash, which is a substantial amount of cash injected into DeepBlue Technology.

The four top national teams also bring national-level credit endorsement, policy channels, and strategic resources, which cannot be measured by market price.

After these four national-level institutions make strategic investments, the shareholding ratio of DeepBlue Technology's original shareholders will be diluted accordingly.

Lin Chuan remains the largest shareholder and actual controller, holding 25.43% of the shares.

苏倾玥8.79%，创始人团队15人和员工持股平台合计14.66%、申宏集团2.14%、其它3.98%，外加四大国家队机构的45%，合计100%。

Finally, Lin Chuan closed the document and said, "I have no objections."

The four major state-owned institutions invested strategically, without interfering with DeepBlue Technology's operations, and only required two basic bottom lines.

First, DeepBlue Technology's strategic direction must be highly consistent with national interests. Specifically, at the operational level, when conducting major technology or product exports, overseas investments, or military-related technology cooperation, it is necessary to communicate and file with relevant national departments in advance, and the company's daily operations will not be interfered with in any way.

Secondly, 30% to 50% of the annual net profit will be distributed as cash dividends each year, with the specific percentage depending on the annual operating performance. The dividends will be paid in cash and distributed to all shareholders according to their shareholding ratio.

However, there is an additional requirement for the second requirement.

In special years, if the company faces significant strategic opportunities that require extraordinary capital investment, the dividend payout ratio for the current year may be appropriately reduced within a single year after being approved by the board of directors, but the difference must be made up in subsequent years.

He Yunting looked at Lin Chuan and smiled, "From today onwards, Deep Blue Technology is considered a semi-state-owned enterprise. The higher-ups have high hopes for it. Comrade Lin Chuan, just go ahead and do it."

This matter is progressing very quickly; all the issues were resolved in the previous months of communication.

Now it's just a formality, and the process can be completed on the same day.

At approximately 16 PM, DeepBlue Technology released an official announcement through its official channels.

The announcement is titled: "Announcement from DeepBlue Technology Regarding the Introduction of Strategic Investors and Changes in Shareholders' Equity."

The core information is clearly stated in the announcement: China Investment Corporation (CIC) holds 25%, China State Development & Investment Corporation (SDIC) holds 10%, China Reform Holdings Corporation (CDB) holds 5%, and China Construction Bank (CCB) holds 5%, totaling 45% of the shares. These four institutions have become important strategic shareholders of the company, with a financing scale of 2700 billion yuan.

The moment the news was released, the entire capital market was shaken.

Cailian Press Telecom delivers breaking news immediately:

[China Investment Corporation (CIC) leads four major state-owned enterprises to strategically invest 2700 billion yuan in DeepBlue Technology]

Investors were immediately in an uproar when they saw this news pop-up in their respective market data software.

Less than 10 minutes after the announcement was released, the comment sections of major financial platforms such as Sina Finance, Eastmoney, and iFinD were flooded with comments from stock market investors.

[Wow, what an amazing lineup! Is Deep Blue Technology really that awesome?]

The mystery of why the seven major investors withdrew at drastically reduced prices, a question that had plagued the market for months, has finally been solved.

[270 billion, almost double the size of Alibaba's IPO this year!]

The withdrawal of investment by the seven major investors wasn't due to any problems at Deep Blue Technology; it turned out to be the intervention of a higher-level strategic force.

[I never expected this company to receive such attention from the government.]

[With such a star-studded lineup, has DeepBlue Technology come up with some amazing new technology?]

[I don't know, but it's definitely good news.]

[Hold on tight, the stock price is about to take off tomorrow!]

[I sold too early, damn it! I'm so mad! Will I even have another chance tomorrow?]

The names of China Investment Corporation (CIC), China Investment Corporation (CIC), China Reform Holdings Corporation (CRHC), and China Construction Bank (CCB) together are enough to make anyone who has ever been involved in the capital market gasp.

The seven major investors who had already withdrawn knew that a state-owned enterprise was going to strategically invest in DeepBlue Technology, but they did not expect it to be such a top-tier investment, let alone that four of them would join forces to bring DeepBlue Technology an astronomical sum of 2700 billion yuan in financing.

It's important to understand that this 2700 billion is not just a nominal market value; it's real money.

The investment of these four institutions in DeepBlue Technology represents a combination of the national sovereign wealth fund, the national strategic investment platform, the state-owned capital operation platform, and the state-owned bank investment platform.

Looking at all the listed companies in the A-share market, there has never been such a luxurious lineup of top-tier companies.

Until today, until DeepBlue Technology.

Investors who panicked and sold off their shares after the announcement of the withdrawal of the seven major investors are now regretting their actions upon seeing this announcement.

The following Thursday, Shenlan Technology opened at its daily limit and remained there until the close.

Today, major financial stocks rallied across the board, with the securities and banking sector indices both surging by more than 6 percentage points. China Construction Bank also broke its own record by hitting the daily limit up.

At that time, the Shanghai Composite Index had entered a technical bull market and had surged to 2600 points, reaching a new high in nearly three years.

Investors feel that the A-shares market is increasingly showing signs of a bull market. The securities sector, which is known as the flag bearer of the bull market, has just doubled in value from its lowest point this year.

On Friday, DeepBlue Technology hit its daily limit again, achieving a two-day winning streak, with its stock price reaching a new high of 226.62 yuan.

The following Monday, DeepBlue Technology's stock price fell from its limit up price and failed to reach a third consecutive limit up.

Despite the trading halt, DeepBlue Technology continued its upward trend, closing with a positive candlestick every day.

In the six trading days following the stock price halt, DeepBlue Technology's stock price surged to a record high of 295.99 yuan, pushing its market capitalization to 1.87 trillion yuan.

At the same time, the three major A-share indices began to surge.

After entering December, the bullish atmosphere was like a pot of water heated to 80 degrees Celsius. Although it hadn't reached the point of boiling over yet, market participants felt the increasingly intense heat wave.

During the period when DeepBlue Technology's market value continued to reach new highs, the Shanghai Composite Index also started a strong upward trend, driven by major financial stocks such as securities and banking.

Driven by these major players, the Shanghai Composite Index easily recovered the 3000-point mark in mid-December.

Some investors in the market realized that a bull market had arrived, but most people were still skeptical. The media did not frequently use terms such as "bull market," "surge," or "new high." The elderly did not rush into the market, and there were no long queues of people opening accounts at securities brokerage offices.

In mid-December, the stock price fell from a high of 295.99 yuan to a low of around 240 yuan. There were no signs of large-scale capital flight from major players; instead, it was mostly normal turnover of short-term profit-taking.

By December 19, DeepBlue Technology's stock price showed strong rebound momentum after the market opened, and the stock price returned to a steady upward trajectory.

Entering January 2015, the A-share market continued to gain momentum at the start of the new year.

On the first trading day of the new year, all three major indices opened higher, with the Shanghai Composite Index jumping above 3300 points, further igniting market sentiment.

DeepBlue Technology's performance in the first week of the new year was particularly impressive, with five consecutive trading days of gains, pushing its stock price up to 370.

Above Yuan.

On the market, the battle between DeepBlue Technology and PetroChina for the top spot in A-share market capitalization has become the focus of attention.

One company represents the pinnacle of traditional energy, while the other represents the forefront of emerging technologies; they are neck and neck in the market capitalization rankings.

Some financial media outlets have jokingly referred to this contest as a "duel between the kings of old and new energy." The outside world is still unaware of the quantum battery issue, but DeepBlue Technology's photovoltaic new energy sector has a strong technological monopoly, and many investors regard DeepBlue Technology as a technology and energy stock.

Wednesday, July 7, 2015.

DeepBlue Technology showed a strong upward trend after the market opened, with the stock price steadily rising driven by a large number of buy orders.

At the close of trading that day, DeepBlue Technology surged 6.69% to close at 389.43 yuan, corresponding to a market capitalization of 2.46 trillion yuan, while PetroChina's market capitalization was approximately 2.15 trillion yuan.

DeepBlue Technology has officially become the A-share listed company with the highest market capitalization.

This is undoubtedly a historic moment.

Prior to this, the title of the largest A-share market capitalization had always been the exclusive domain of central state-owned enterprises.

Among the top ten largest state-owned enterprises—China National Petroleum Corporation, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and China Construction Bank—the only private enterprise is DeepBlue Technology.

Today, this tech company, which was founded less than five years ago, has reached the very top of the pyramid.

For the first time in the history of the A-share market, a high-tech company has topped the list in terms of market capitalization, and it is a private enterprise.

Less than half an hour after the market closed, all the headlines of major financial media outlets were updated.

[The top spot in A-share market capitalization has changed hands, with DeepBlue Technology taking the lead at 2.46 trillion yuan]

Securities Times

The media outlet ran a bold headline on its front page, with the lead stating: "A private enterprise driven by technological innovation, with the strategic support of four major state-owned institutions, has become the A-share market's largest listed company by market capitalization, reaching 2.46 trillion yuan. This signifies a shift in China's capital market from a structure dominated by traditional energy and finance to one driven by technological innovation."

"The handover between the old and new energy kings is complete; DeepBlue Technology tops the A-share market capitalization list"—Economic Daily

The article reviewed the back-and-forth battle for market capitalization between DeepBlue Technology and PetroChina over the past few weeks, and then summarized it in one sentence: "PetroChina represents China's industrial system centered on oil over the past half-century, while DeepBlue Technology represents a new economic system driven by clean energy and cutting-edge technology for the next half-century."

Some people have started to discuss whether DeepBlue Technology will hit a market value of three trillion this month.

Some people also posted their transaction records from DeepBlue Technology, showing that they had made more than 20 times their initial investment, which drew envy and admiration.

Simultaneously with the peak of market capitalization, Lin Chuan's personal wealth achieved a historic breakthrough.

Based on Lin Chuan's current 25.43% stake in DeepBlue Technology, plus some assets from previous dividends, his personal net worth is now approximately 6300 billion yuan.

The topic of "Lin Chuan's net worth exceeding 1000 billion US dollars" has topped the trending search list, sparking heated discussions among countless netizens.

One hundred billion US dollars.

This is a personal wealth figure that has never appeared before in the history of human commerce.

Prior to this, the upper limit of the global rich list had been hovering in the range of eight to nine hundred billion US dollars.

Bill Gates' net worth peaked at around $90 billion at Microsoft's peak, while Warren Buffett's wealth grew to over $80 billion through decades of compound interest accumulation, but neither of them ever crossed the $100 billion threshold.

They may be able to break through this threshold in the future, but at least not yet.

Today, a 29-year-old entrepreneur from China has, in less than five years, become...

The first person in human history to have a net worth exceeding $100 billion.

The Bloomberg Billionaires Index updated its global rankings shortly thereafter.

Lin Chuan's name ranks first with a net worth of $1023 billion, followed by Bill Gates, Amancio Ortega, Warren Buffett, and Carlos Slim.

Each of them is a legendary figure in business history, having cultivated their respective fields for decades before reaching the top of the wealth pyramid.

Now, an Asian face, not yet 30 years old, looms over them all.
