Chapter 128 Unusable Batteries?

Jia Zhongjie is the vice president of Xingyuan Battery no matter what, and after Hu Xinren came over, the two sides often discussed about the transformation of the production line. It is natural to know that Xu Lei acquired Tianyu Battery to develop solid-state batteries.

Knowing this situation, he finally understood why Xu Lei had to clean up the lithium battery inventory and stop production at the base.

But at the beginning, he was not optimistic, thinking that solid-state batteries could not be commercialized.

For this reason, he also made a heartfelt suggestion to Xu Lei.

Let Xu Lei abandon metal all-solid-state batteries and continue to produce traditional lithium batteries.

At that time, with the influence and resources of future technology, Xingyuan Battery will still be able to gradually develop and grow, occupying a place in the lithium battery market.

However, Xu Lei has always insisted on developing solid-state batteries and said that he can replace lithium batteries. Faced with this situation, Jia Zhongjie can't say anything more, so he can only choose to trust Xu Lei and the research center of future technology.

But as a person who has struggled in the battery industry for many years, he naturally knows the problems that solid-state batteries need to solve.

It cannot be accomplished overnight.

But now that Xu Lei is so concerned about the progress of the production line's transformation, he obviously wants to resume production at the base as soon as possible. This only shows that the research on solid-state batteries has made progress.

Otherwise Xu Lei would never be in such a hurry.

After all, since I chose to clear the inventory of lithium batteries and stop supplying to cooperative brands, I did not intend to continue to produce lithium batteries.

It was precisely because Jia Zhongjie understood this situation that he was so surprised.

But at this time Xu Lei heard what Jia Zhongjie said, but he didn't deliberately hide anything.

Immediately Shen Sheng replied: "The laboratory has solved the problem of special electrolyte raw materials for solid-state batteries, and the actual parameters tested are all higher than those of traditional lithium batteries."

"What about the cost price, Mr. Xu?" Jia Zhongjie asked again.

"Same as lithium batteries."

Xu Lei looked at the surprised and shocked expression on Jia Zhongjie's face, and smiled and uttered such a sentence.

heard here.

Jia Zhongjie was suddenly struck by thunder.

Pupils shrank suddenly.

It was as if there had been a visual earthquake of no small scale.

"Great."

Repeating these words softly in my mouth, I only felt a stormy sea in my heart.

He never expected that the research center of future science and technology would be so terrifying that it could solve the biggest cost problem of solid-state batteries in such a short period of time.

Regardless of how much its various parameters exceed lithium batteries, the same cost and price are enough to open up a new world in the market.

You must know that solid-state batteries are much stronger than traditional lithium batteries in terms of safety.

More importantly, Jia Zhongjie can imagine what kind of impact it will bring to the industry when this solid-state battery is produced.

It is believed that Xingyuan Battery will soon come back to life and get rid of the previous plight of Tianyu.

At the same time, he is also happy that he chose to stay and join Future Technology, and it turns out that he did not make a wrong decision.

At this time, Hu Xinren, who was next to him, listened to the conversation between the two, and his heart, which had been silent for a long time, could not help being rekindled the passion of his youth.

Immediately categorically make a guarantee.

"Seven days."

"I promise to complete the transformation of the production line within seven days."

"President Xu, don't worry."

Although Hu Xinren's research is on intelligent manufacturing engineering, which is different from the battery industry, as a professor, how can he not know about solid-state batteries.

To make Xu Lei so confident, this battery must have excellent performance.

In the past, when Future Technology launched new products to break the monopoly of overseas technology, Hu Xinren was just a bystander, but he could also imagine the pride and strong pride of the rise of domestic technology, which was even more exciting than conquering a certain technology by himself.

Now I finally have the opportunity to witness the strong rise of domestic battery technology, and I naturally hope that this day will come sooner.

So working overtime at night is nothing.

I have to say that Hu Xinren's words surprised Xu Lei a little.

Did not expect the elderly can be so passionate.

Just considering Hu Xinren's physical condition and age, Xu Lei shook his head and rejected his promise.

"Professor Hu."

"There is no need to deliberately catch up with the progress of the transformation of the production line."

"It's fine for a few days at night."

"It just so happens that there are several important tests to complete in the laboratory."

As Xu Lei's voice reached his ears, Hu Xinren showed obvious disappointment on his face.

But in the end he nodded in understanding.

"That's it."

"Then follow the original plan."

After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the production line, continuing to direct the personnel to install the equipment.

When only the two of them were left, Jia Zhongjie seemed to have thought of something, and asked Xu Lei, "Mr. Xu, should we produce power batteries or mobile phone batteries first?"

In fact, whether it is a power battery or a mobile phone battery, because the sizes and specifications used by different brands are different, the production efficiency will definitely be affected.

In the past, battery manufacturers served brands and designed and produced them according to their needs.

But now is not the same as in the past.

With the excellent performance of metal solid-state batteries far exceeding traditional lithium batteries, there will certainly be no shortage of buyers.

Moreover, looking at the world, only Xingyuan Battery can produce it at present.

Therefore, Xu Lei is going to specify the specifications of the two batteries by himself, so as to ensure that the production capacity of the base will not be affected.

In this way, if a mobile phone brand or a new energy vehicle brand wants to use the solid-state battery produced by Xingyuan Battery, it can only design according to the size of the battery.

As for special equipment such as drone robots, they can be customized after the new base is completed.

After confirming these things a long time ago, Xu Lei naturally had nothing to hesitate when facing Jia Zhongjie's inquiry, so he responded directly to him.

"It depends on which brand comes to the door first to discuss cooperation."

The voice just fell.

They also walked outside, and did not stay here to disturb Hu Xinren and their work.

……

……

As Hu Xinren promised, after ten days, several intelligent production lines in the Xingyuan battery base were completed and debugged.

In addition, all the raw materials needed for the battery are also purchased in place, and the production is officially carried out in accordance with the planned two battery specifications.

And at the same time.

The official account of Xingyuan Battery also officially announced that it has successfully conquered the metal all-solid-state battery production technology.

And disclosed the battery test parameters.

Friday, January 12th.

Today is definitely a very special day for the entire battery industry.

No one thought that Xingyuan Battery had not been established for a long time, and it would come up with such a big thing, which is simply not far behind the future technology.

It's impossible not to pay attention.

The test parameters released by the main Xingyuan battery are too abnormal.

Directly and thoroughly crush the current research on solid-state batteries by battery companies at home and abroad.

For the majority of users, it is undoubtedly very good news to have a battery with a longer battery life, a longer life, and a faster charge.

Therefore, many people immediately ran to the official account of Xingyuan Battery to post comments to express their inner excitement and excitement, so that the topic rushed to the top of the hot search list in a short period of time.

"When Future Technology acquired Tianyu Battery, who said it was just helping out, but now it seems that it is obviously because of a technological breakthrough in solid-state batteries."

"It's too strong to be able to research solid-state batteries to this level."

"Future Technology has established a research center and recruited top talents from various industries around the world. I have long guessed that more advanced technologies will be released in the future, but I didn't expect it to be so fast."

"The performance is three times higher than that of traditional lithium batteries. It seems that you don't need to carry a power bank with you when you go out in the future."

"I hope this kind of battery can be used in new energy vehicles as soon as possible. The battery life of current new energy vehicles is still too poor."

"The battery industry is going to change."

"Even if Xingyuan Battery has conquered the solid-state battery production technology, it is always a big problem in terms of production capacity. I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to use this kind of battery in a short time."

Although the advent of Xingyuan solid-state batteries has made many ordinary users happy and excited, it has also attracted many professionals to express their views, but they are more pessimistic about this matter.

They all think that even if Xingyuan Battery develops a solid-state battery with much higher performance than traditional lithium batteries, no brand company will choose to use it due to cost and price issues.

"Don't be too optimistic. Solid-state batteries are good, but they are not affordable for us."

"It is estimated that this kind of battery is only used in special places, and it should have nothing to do with ordinary users."

"First of all, we must affirm the contribution made by Xingyuan Battery to the development of the battery industry. Unfortunately, the cost of solid-state batteries is too high. I don't think any brand company will choose to use it."

"Happy is happy, but I can't get it in my hand."

"I hope Xingyuan Electric will continue to research and strive to reduce the cost of batteries."

"I don't know when this kind of battery will be used. Is there hope in five years?"

……

The battery cost and price belong to the company's internal information, so it is naturally impossible to directly announce it to the outside world.

What's more, with the current production capacity of Xingyuan Battery, if all brands come to cooperate, they simply don't have the ability to meet it.

However, Xu Lei believes that there will definitely be brand companies in contact with Xingyuan Battery.

It may also be due to the cost and price of solid-state batteries. The rest of the battery companies at home and abroad did not respond to the set of test parameters released by Xingyuan Battery.

It's like he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

After all, they have more or less conducted research on solid-state batteries, and it is clear that the price problem is doomed to commercialization, and naturally it will not have any impact on them.

Compared with competitors in the same industry, some mobile phone brands and new energy vehicle companies have a completely different mentality.

A temporary decision-making meeting was held for Xingyuan battery, and its impact and whether to try to use it were discussed.

And in many industries, because the metal all-solid-state battery launched by Xingyuan Battery was affected, at the moment Xingyuan Battery Base is stepping up production.
