Chapter 128 A battery you can’t afford?

Jia Zhongjie is the vice president of Xingyuan Battery anyway, and after Hu Xinren came over, the two parties often communicated about the transformation of the production line. Later, it was naturally known that Xu Lei's acquisition of Tianyu Battery was originally to develop solid-state batteries.

After learning about this situation, he finally understood why Xu Lei wanted to clear out the lithium battery inventory and completely stop production at the base.

However, he was not optimistic at first, thinking that solid-state batteries could not be commercialized.

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

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

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

However, Xu Lei has always insisted on developing solid-state batteries and said that they can replace lithium batteries. Faced with this situation, Jia Zhongjie could not say anything more and could only choose to trust Xu Lei and the research center of Future Technology.

But as someone who has been working 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 Xu Lei is so concerned about the progress of the production line transformation, and 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 so anxious.

After all, since we originally chose to clear out the inventory of lithium batteries and stop supplying to cooperative brands, we have no intention of continuing to produce lithium batteries.

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

But when Xu Lei heard Jia Zhongjie's words, he didn't deliberately hide anything.

Then he replied in a deep voice: "The laboratory has solved the problem of special electrolyte raw materials for solid-state batteries, and all the actual tested parameters exceed 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 look on Jia Zhongjie's face, smiled and uttered these words.

Hear this.

Jia Zhongjie's whole body suddenly felt as if he was struck by thunder.

The pupils shrank suddenly.

It was as if a large-scale visual earthquake had occurred.

"Very good."

Repeating these words softly in my mouth, I felt a storm in my heart.

He never expected that the research center of Future Technology would be so terrifying and overcome the biggest cost problem of solid-state batteries in such a short period of time.

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

You must know that solid-state batteries are much safer than traditional lithium batteries.

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

I believe that Xingyuan Battery will come back to life soon and get rid of Tianyu's previous predicament.

At the same time, he was also happy that he chose to stay and join Future Technology. Facts have proved that he did not make the wrong decision.

At this time, Hu Xinren, who was standing next to him, was listening to the conversation between the two, and the passion of his youth could not help but be rekindled in his heart that had been silent for a long time.

Immediately and categorically made a guarantee.

"Seven days."

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

"Don't worry, Mr. Xu."

Although Hu Xinren is studying 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 overseas technology monopoly, Hu Xinren was just a bystander, but he could also imagine the pride and strong pride in the rise of domestic technology, which was even more exciting than conquering a certain technology himself.

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

So working overtime at night is nothing.

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

I never thought that older people could be so passionate.

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

"Professor Hu."

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

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

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

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

But in the end he nodded to show his understanding.

"That's it."

"Then let's stick to the original plan."

After saying that, 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 again, 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 each brand uses different sizes and specifications, production efficiency will definitely be affected.

Previously, battery manufacturers served brands and had to design and produce according to their needs.

But things are different now.

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

Moreover, currently only one base in the world, Xingyuan Battery, can produce batteries.

Therefore, Xu Lei plans to stipulate the specifications of the two batteries himself to ensure that the production capacity of the base is not affected.

In this way, mobile phone brands or new energy vehicle brands that want to use solid-state batteries produced by Xingyuan Batteries can only design according to the battery specifications.

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

Having determined these things long ago, Xu Lei naturally had nothing to think about and hesitate when facing Jia Zhongjie's inquiry, and responded to him directly.

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

The words just fell.

He also stepped outside and did not stay here to disturb Hu Xinren and the others' work.

Just as Hu Xinren promised, several intelligent production lines in the Xingyuan Battery Base will be completed and debugged in ten days.

In addition, all the raw materials required for the battery have been procured, and the production will be officially carried out according to the planned two battery specifications.

And at the same time.

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

And disclosed the battery test parameters.

Friday, December 18th.

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

No one thought that Xingyuan Battery would create such a big thing not long after its establishment. It is simply not even more impressive than future technology.

It’s impossible not to pay attention to it.

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

It will directly and completely crush the current research on solid-state batteries by battery companies at home and abroad.

For the majority of users, the emergence of batteries with longer battery life, longer life and faster charging is undoubtedly great news.

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

"When Future Technology acquired Tianyu Battery, who said it was just a casual help? Now it seems that it is obviously because of a technological breakthrough in solid-state batteries."

“It’s really great 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 had already guessed that more advanced technologies would be available in the future, but I didn't expect it would be so fast."

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

"I hope this kind of battery will be used in new energy vehicles soon. The endurance of current new energy vehicles is still too poor."

“The battery industry is going to change.”

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

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

Many people believe that even if Xingyuan Battery develops a solid-state battery with performance far higher than that of 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 something we can afford."

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

"First of all, we must recognize the contribution of Xingyuan Batteries 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 them."

"I'm happy, but I can't get it in my hands."

"I hope Xingyuan Electric Intelligence will continue its research and strive to reduce battery costs."

"I wonder when this kind of battery will be available. Is there any hope in five years?"

The battery cost is internal information of the company and cannot be disclosed directly to the outside world.

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

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

It may also be due to the cost and price of solid-state batteries. No other battery companies at home and abroad made any response to the set of test parameters released by Xingyuan Battery.

It was as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

After all, they have more or less conducted research on solid-state batteries, and they know very well that the price issue is destined to prevent it from being commercialized, and it will naturally have no impact on them.

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

An impromptu decision-making meeting was held for Xingyuan Battery to discuss its impact and whether to try to use it.

While many industries are affected by the impact of the metal all-solid-state batteries launched by Xingyuan Battery, the Xingyuan Battery base is stepping up production.
