Chapter 105 Super Battery

Fortunately, Joanna discovered it in time, and Dandan's illness improved the next day, and on the third day he recovered as usual. However, An Feng was criticized by Joanna a lot, and he was also big-bellied and accepted all the blame. It was his fault anyway, and Joanna would not scold people.

The rich lady has limited skills in scolding, and An Feng is bored and lazy to hold her chin. She can't beat her even if she says in three minutes... Time is coming soon, and Joanna becomes busy. May and June are the traditional graduation season. An Feng has also received the latest news from GP companies: the battery has broken through!

An Feng once asked that the word "breakthrough" is not allowed to be used before the super battery is actually made. The apprentices all know the boss's temperament, so they usually use "making progress" and "small success". The three repeated emails this time are all titles of "breakthrough".

An Feng didn't dare to neglect it, and he flew to Austin the next day.

In the cabin, the notebook was checking the report sent to him by Etan Bassett, the leader of the battery team. In the research and development project of graphene, Song Wenrui was the leader of the large team, but in terms of super batteries/capacitors, Etan Bassett is the real technical man. Song Wenrui is more specialized in the chip field.

Although Anfeng's battery/capacitance technology is known as "graphene", it is very different from the "graphene batteries" studied on the market. Modern people are made of "using the characteristics of lithium batteries to quickly and large-scale shuttle movement between the graphene surface and electrodes". In the research and development concept of GP, these are only semi-finished products, and the technology provided by Anfeng can be called complete products.

So this is the reason why the group members are obsessed with and are unwilling to leave even if they are treated normally. The technology that transcends the current concept product, who is willing to give up?

After Anfeng's plane landed in Austin, the company's special car picked him up and sent him to the headquarters of GP. Without saying a word, he walked into the dressing room with CEO Benjamin Hawley, Grand Team Leader Song Wenrui, Etan Bassett of the battery pack and Tian Hao of the chip pack, walked into the dressing room in a hurry, changed into a dust-free suit, and entered Laboratory No. 1 after inspection.

In the spacious and white laboratory, technicians were waiting, and the experimental items were placed on the table, which were probably the same as the battery of a family car, and there was nothing outstanding about the appearance.

There is a complete set of accurate battery capacity testers in the laboratory, which can detect charging and discharging time, voltage, temperature, current and other data. Now the experimenter is connecting the super battery. At the same time, Etan Bassett introduced in English with a little accent: "Compared with the same volume of lithium-ion batteries, the super battery we developed has a power density of more than a hundred times and an energy density of more than ten times..."

"Please be amateur," CEO Hawley joked.

Everyone laughed, and the excitement atmosphere relaxed a little. Bassett tried to list the data simply: "By comparison, the super battery of the same volume is more than 30 times the capacity of the ordinary battery, the charging time is maintained within ten seconds, and the discharge time takes only two seconds to catch up with the capacitor!"

"Where is the lifespan?" An Feng asked.

Bassett is more rigorous in dealing with the technology boss: "Because it combines three chemical engineering, experimental speculation that after 300 charges, or one year or more, the battery efficiency will still be ten times higher than that of lithium-ion batteries on the market today, and the maintenance cost will be relatively reduced."

"Good." An Feng praised. Even an outsider who doesn't know much about it, he knows what the data in Bassett's mouth means.

Benjamin Hawley suppressed his excitement and tried to calm his tone as much as possible, but everyone still clearly felt his joy: "How much does that cost?"

It is not enough to make it alone, and the cost is too high and it cannot be mass-produced. Regarding this, Bassett said: "The cost of this type VI test product is about $1.2 million."

The number of 1.2 million has extinguished many people's excitement, and the cost is too high! If it cannot be reduced, it will basically not be able to achieve full mass production at the low and medium end. Of course, An Feng's expression has not changed from beginning to end. Nonsense, when is the cost of experimental products not high? It is to get it out first, so that you can consider how to compress the materials, reduce costs, or use counterfeit components... the last one is ignored.

Bassett looked at the expressions behind everyone's masks, but the faces of laymen changed. The experts were all used to it. He continued: "At present, there are almost no such advanced products available on the market. I think Mr. Hawley is an excellent supervisor, and you should know what to do."

Holly nodded: "How much does it take to try to maintain the leading cost-effectiveness as much as possible?"

Bassett said: "There has not been actually tested, but according to Mr. An's plan, the cost can be reduced to two to three times the conventional batteries on the market, while the capacity remains five to eight times, and the charging time is maintained at three to five minutes. This requires the company's customized high and low-end requirements."

Naturally, high-end products are the best, fastest and most expensive, and are used to show off. But low-end products are just about to come, and it is cost-effective than other traditional batteries. Later, they watched the on-site charging and discharging tests several times, and the data was amazing. Even before the experiment began, the company specially replaced a special transformer.

After watching the third discharge process and the data recorded on the computer display screen, An Feng smiled and said, "Do you know what I thought of?"

Everyone looked at him.

"Rail cannon!" said An Feng.

Everyone suddenly realized that the electromagnetic railgun required a huge current to pass through parallel rails in an instant. It was impossible for traditional batteries, but capacitors were possible, but they needed to form a huge and bloated matrix, which could only be installed by naval warships, and it was inefficient and had a short life.

This is why the Americans were unable to equip the army after they made electromagnetic guns. The technology Anfeng got was not only in the civil field, but also in the military: if there was a nuclear reactor to supply energy and use super batteries for fast charging and fast release, do you think there would be any problems with the rail gun? But he did not intend to show his trump card so quickly. Sometimes, being too eye-catching will cause unexpected trouble.

How cunning the competitors are, they all need to abide by the rules, but a national government may not care about these things completely... Anfeng knows the importance of super batteries to the military, and it also means that they will bear risks before they do not have enough strength, so this battery will not be released for a long time.

Even after today, it will be destroyed.

But if you keep talking about it, someone can afford to get such advanced technology, right? A smart company, even if you master these technologies, will take it slowly and divide it into technical levels of more than ten or twenty years. The behavior of exposing your trump card is not done by businessmen, but making money is about long-term flow.

Therefore, from the perspective of the country or business, this battery costing more than one million is destined to be impossible within ten years - on the contrary, a super battery with much weaker performance than it emerged. It can be foreseeable that it has brought about an unprecedented revolution in the battery industry, and it is unrivaled with a monopoly momentum.

After reading the experiment, everyone withdrew, and everyone who visited signed a thick confidentiality agreement. The leak of secrets will cause a lifelong lawsuit. At the same time, Hawley did not forget to remind the company's legal department to pay attention to the patent application. This time it was a real thing. If possible, "the technician went to the toilet several times on the way" had to be recorded.

The patent application was handed over to the special team of the company's major shareholders to handle. The same special matter was handled and won in the shortest time. After changing the dustproof suit, everyone gathered together, and the excitement had not yet sootheed. Only after the secretary and the wife gave each other a glass of champagne and wine glasses were given, everyone clinked glasses and cheered each other.

From electric vehicles to any mobile device batteries, or even electric aircraft, in this environment where technology is becoming more and more developed, oil is becoming less and less, handheld devices are becoming more and more, and cars pay more and more attention to environmental protection. High-capacity, fast charging and fast-release batteries can capture the market without any effort.

Wealth is no doubt, and the low cost means that it has no rival in the short term. Hundreds and hundreds of billions of wealth can be included in the pocket without any effort, and winning victory will be easy... And now shareholders are even considering how to deal with the antitrust law.
