Black Technology: Start with Ten Thousand Times Speed

Asmai traveled around the Dragon Kingdom, but encountered obstacles again and again. The news that he was rejected by the Dragon Kingdom's chip manufacturer spread out for some reason.

This not only allows everyone to see the change in ASML's market position, but also allows everyone to see the powerful deterrent power of Tianqixin Technology.

All of this caused ASML's stock price to plummet within a few days.

Just less than half a month later.

As various international chip manufacturers have successively announced procurement cooperation agreements with Apocalypse Technology, ASML's stock price has finally stabilized and entered the third round of plummeting.

Compared with a month ago, ASML's share price fell by more than half.

The market value has evaporated by 140 billion eagle dollars!

Nearly one trillion dragon coins!

Even though the competition between Asmax and Apocalypse Technology has just begun, in people’s minds, Asmax has already become second-rate.

Tianqixin Technology is the new king.

In addition, the news that several senior executives of ASML resigned directly took the blame, which also caused a small commotion in the industry.

At this time, Su Xin did not pay attention to these. As early as after the release of Tianke No. 1, he handed over all the operation and production issues of Tianqixin Technology to Jing Mingdong.

Among them, the planning of the production line was about to be completed as early as the photolithography machine, and before engineers were recruited, various parts supply companies were required to expand production capacity and free up corresponding production lines.

With such comprehensive planning capabilities, coupled with the perfect coordination of various parts suppliers, Tianke-1 has an annual production capacity of about 30 units from the beginning.

The only shortcoming is engineers.

But as they become more and more experienced, and with Su Xin's occasional guidance, they will probably complete the assembly and debugging of thirty Tianke-1s in the first year, and there shouldn't be much of a problem.

And after that.

These 360 ​​engineers can continue to lead and train more talents, allowing the entire team to expand and improve in a fission-like manner.

Starting from the second year, Apocalypse Technology is sure to occupy most of the cutting-edge markets.

In short, Tianqixin Technology is on the right track and Su Xin doesn’t need to worry about it.

At this time, he focused his main energy on cancer-killing drugs and chip design.

Especially the former.

…

Beer Country, inside the New Energy Joint Laboratory.

More than two dozen executives from major car companies around the world gathered in front of an experimental bench, looking attentively at a flat square metal-like substance on the bench and the various wiring harnesses and instruments connected to it.

A man in a white lab coat stood in front of the stage, pointed at the data on a display screen, and introduced to everyone:

Its energy density is 350Wh/kg. Although it is still about 10% lower than the Thor battery, the difference is not huge.

The conductive efficiency is also 15% lower than that of Thor batteries, which means the charging speed is slightly slower.

In addition, the energy volume density, safety, service life, low-temperature and high-temperature stability are not worse than Thor batteries.

We tentatively named it——

Zeus all-solid-state battery!

good!

Everyone present gave him applause.

Although the performance is slightly worse than that of Thor batteries, as long as it is a solid-state battery that completely solves several core problems of liquid batteries, it has the possibility to compete with Thor batteries.

Especially in the local market, with the tariff gap and the support of local policies, defeating Longguo Auto should not be a big problem.

This made everyone present extremely excited.

Over the past year or so, Longguo Automobile has been conquering cities and territories around the world. Its sales have hit record highs one after another, and its brand awareness has become higher and higher. It has suppressed car companies from all over the world to the point where they can only survive.

Nowadays, car companies such as Zuma no longer talk about the advantages of brands.

Because now in the world, only Longguo's major car brands can represent high-end.

And all of this is due to the gap between Thor's battery and Xiaozhi's driving system.

The former evens out tariff costs.

The latter creates an artificial gap.

Now that we have developed the Zeus battery by ourselves, we no longer need to rely on Tianqi Energy, nor do we need to be treated differently by Tianqi Energy. Our costs are better controlled, and we can win the local market first through misaligned competition.

If we continue to optimize in the future and develop an upgraded version of the Zeus battery, we can in turn suppress all the Dragon Country car companies that use Thor batteries and win back our original market position.

In short, with Zeus Battery, the nine major car companies have completely gotten rid of their constraints and regained unlimited possibilities.

The future is bright!

It is worth mentioning that this new energy joint laboratory is led by Zuma Motors and jointly established by eight top car companies from around the world.

Everyone has invested a lot of money, plus each company's R\u0026D personnel and technology patents, as well as the continuous recruitment of many top experts in the industry, have given this laboratory an extremely rich foundation.

A few months ago, Latus, a Chinese car company that originally rejected their invitation, also applied to become a partner of the New Energy Laboratory after experiencing repeated setbacks.

After many discussions, Latus successfully joined and became the ninth partner with a capital of up to 1 billion eagle dollars, as well as investment in various related patented technologies and R\u0026D personnel.

Latus is worthy of being the leading company in the original new energy track. With their joining, the new energy laboratory will be even more powerful.

now.

The New Energy Laboratory finally produced results.

Krejci, the founder of the joint laboratory and the president of Zuma Motors, couldn't stop the smile on his face and looked at several other executives around him.

Everyone, now that we have new solid-state batteries, our development strategy will have to make major adjustments. Why don't we all discuss how to defeat the monopoly of Thor Batteries?

Another person laughed:

Thor Batteries are still very powerful, which puts a lot of pressure on us. We must continue to cooperate in order to develop better.

Krejci looked at Lartus President Newsk on the other side and said with a smile:

Niusk, I said at the beginning that only when we unite can we have a future. I shouldn't let you down now, right?

Nusk shrugged and said with a smile: Okay, well, I was too short-sighted and almost missed the best chance to rise again. I should thank you and treat you to dinner later. I heard that there is a restaurant nearby. The foie gras was very good.”

Craigie laughed.

Everyone turned and walked out. Krechi suddenly turned around and told the man in a white lab coat:

The news about the Zeus battery is kept secret for the time being. Remember to remind all researchers.

I see.

The man nodded seriously.

After Krejci and his team left, they quickly came to sit down in a spacious conference room to discuss the mass production of Zeus batteries.

Due to the continuous mass production of Raytheon batteries, the production chain of solid-state batteries has been cultivated very well. Whether it is equipment or materials, we can buy them directly.

There is no problem with the production line, and the production process only needs to be discussed and tested for a period of time.

This actually saves us a lot of trouble.

Even if mass production has just begun, the production cost should not be much higher than that of Thor batteries.

Coupled with import tariffs, we will definitely have a much stronger price advantage than Longguo car companies in our respective local markets.

So, I suggest that we all start from the local market and regain the market step by step.

Then let's build factories simultaneously in our respective countries. Next, let's discuss the issue of continuing capital injection. The money in the account of the new energy company is definitely not enough to build so many factories at the same time.

The nine major car companies are all shareholders of Xinneng Company, and Xinneng Laboratory belongs to Xinneng Company. The patent rights of the products developed naturally belong to Xinneng Company.

The factory was also built under the name of Xinneng Company.

At this time, one of them asked:

By the way, is it necessary to hold a press conference regarding the launch of Zeus Battery?

Krejci shook his head:

forget it.

Although it can boost market confidence, if Su Xin is afraid of our competitive pressure and directly cuts off the supply of Thor batteries to us before Zeus batteries are mass-produced, it will be a big trouble.

We should wait until the factory is built and ready to start mass production, and then we will release it directly to the outside world.

At that time, even if the Thor battery is out of power, we can still use our own Zeus battery to relay.

Several other people thought about it, and agreed with his opinion. They decided to keep it secret for the time being, and first injected capital together to build twelve factories directly to supply Zeus batteries for nine car companies.

Based on the annual production capacity of each factory of 30GWh, the total is 360GWh.

That is 360 million kilowatt-hours of electricity.

Based on an average of 60 kWh per battery, it can supply six million vehicles.

With the current sales of nine car companies, this production capacity can almost be met.

And the most important thing is that the nine major car companies really can't spend more money to build factories.

The budgets of these twelve battery factories alone have reached more than 5 billion eagle dollars.

This translates to 36 billion dragon coins.

Even if it is divided equally among nine car companies and does not need to be taken out all at once, it will still be very difficult given their current operating conditions and financial status.

But when they thought about the bright prospects that Zeus batteries could bring, the nine major car companies gritted their teeth and finally decisively injected capital into the new energy company.

then.

Without attracting attention from the outside world, the construction of twelve large-scale power battery factories has begun in full swing in beer country and other places.

In order to get rid of Thor batteries as soon as possible, the nine major car companies continue to improve their progress.

…

Time passed quietly.

In a blink of an eye, it’s September.

Beer Country, in a high-end private room of a five-star hotel.

Krejci and others gathered together again.

Everyone, tomorrow is the official press conference of the Zeus battery. This is our first step to get rid of Apocalypse Energy, and it is also our first step towards glory again.

This is a credit to all of us!

Krejci raised his wine glass, looked at everyone present with a smile on his face, and said warmly:

Let's drink to a new beginning!

At present, twelve power battery factories located around the world under the name of Xinneng Company have been completed, various production line equipment has been procured, and employees have also begun to be recruited.

In order to buy as much time as possible, they did not prepare to hold the official launch of Zeus Battery until this time.

As long as tomorrow's press conference is over, they can directly hold the ribbon-cutting ceremonies for the opening of major power battery factories.

Then we will conduct trial production, study the technology, prepare for mass production of Zeus batteries, and at the same time release various new models equipped with Zeus batteries.

Even if Tianqi Energy really cuts off supply to them, previous orders will still have to be delivered, which is enough to allow them to maintain stable production for two to three months.

They were able to make a smooth transition.

Therefore, it was not until today that the top executives of the nine major car companies gathered together to hold a simple celebration banquet.

Others also raised their glasses.

cheers!

Everyone had a big smile on their face.

But just when the atmosphere was filled with joy and enthusiasm, a figure suddenly pushed open the private room door and strode in.

Before everyone could get angry, the man said urgently:

No, Tianqi Energy Company's official website released an announcement. They have developed a new generation of Thor batteries and will be online in two months!

What?!!

Everyone present was shocked.

Craigie put down his wine glass, and some of the dark red wine in the glass accidentally spilled onto the back of his hands and trouser legs, but he didn't notice it at all.

Looking at his capable subordinate, he ignored the other person's rudeness and asked quickly:

What's going on? How are the various parameters of the new generation Thor battery?

The young blond man who rushed in took a breath and then said:

Performance has been comprehensively improved, energy density has increased by 50%, charging speed has increased by 30%, but the price has not changed at all...

Listening to his words, Krejci was completely confused and didn't hear a word that followed.

It took them so long and such a high price to develop a solid-state battery that is slightly inferior to Thor batteries.

They almost emptied the company's fortune, injected further capital, worked overtime, and finally built twelve power battery factories.

For Zeus Battery, their nine major car companies have spent all their resources.

But just one day before they were ready to officially release it, Apocalypse Energy also released an upgraded version of the Thor battery.

Originally, Thor batteries were significantly better than Zeus batteries, but the gap was not particularly large. Only with the price advantages brought about by tariffs and other aspects did they have the opportunity to compete.

In the past, such a competitive plan would have been scorned by the nine major car companies.

But now, they have suffered so many setbacks and blows that they have put aside their inner arrogance and decided to condescend to lower prices and compete mainly with price advantages.

But even so.

Tianqi Energy doesn’t give them a chance either!

The upgraded version of the Thor battery was released at this time, and the performance improvement was so exaggerated that it was a dimensionality-reducing blow to their upcoming Zeus battery.

Apart from anything else, with such a huge energy density gap, the Zeus battery has no competitiveness at all in front of the upgraded Thor battery.

With the same weight and volume, the upgraded Raytheon battery has twice as much power as them!

Or conversely, with the same power, the upgraded Thor battery is only half the volume and half the weight, which will bring many hidden advantages to the Thor battery.

Key prices have not changed yet.

This made the Zeus battery a backward product as soon as it was launched, which also meant that all their investment during this period was almost wasted.

It's finished! We're all finished!

The thought flashed through Krejci's mind.

Immediately, his eyes went dark, a mouthful of blood suddenly spewed out, and he fell backwards.
