Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

A pure electric car that can drive from Shanghai to Xianyang.

and a small drone that can fly directly from Shanghai to Suzhou.

In fact, I haven’t talked to many people about the data. They don’t know the performance figures of the most advanced lithium cobalt oxide batteries, but they have an idea of ​​the distance.

Zhou Rui directly installed the battery back into the drone, and then said: "Then let's do an experiment."

"The remaining power is currently 98%. It is almost 100 kilometers from here to Suzhou City. The maximum speed of this drone is 72KM per hour. It will move towards Suzhou City, and the entire process will be live broadcast on the screen."

"The good news is that it does not need to wait for traffic lights, and there is mobile phone signal to transmit video content all the way. The bad news is that it needs to bypass some no-fly zones, but generally speaking, we will see the answer before the end of the conference."

It is true that the maximum speed is definitely not the most power-saving mode, and sending back video signals also requires additional power consumption, but lithium-sulfur batteries are so willful.

There is no need to set anything, the small shower head has completed the control, the drone is getting higher and higher, and finally it is suspended above the entire stadium.

At about the same time, a drone shot appeared on the big screen, looking down at the stadium, but it only occupied a small area in the lower left corner.

The high-altitude drone paused for a moment and then flew into the night sky.

Zhou Rui continued: "At the same time, early this morning, two engineers from BYD also set off from Xianyang and headed for Shanghai. They are almost there. Let's see what this journey is like. ”

The remaining space on the big screen began to play a video, which was the content of this morning. The journey was too long and it was impossible to show it all, but the timely editing was still used at the press conference.

At six o'clock in the morning, two engineers set off from the iconic city wall of Xianyang and drove the "Han" with a range of 2,000 kilometers towards Shanghai, starting a journey across five provinces.

The video lasts about seven or eight minutes, including constant feedback on remaining battery power, some introductions to driving experience and functions, and three light meals in the rest area.

Some people even noticed that the two turned on the air conditioner.

Although it was not the maximum air-conditioning gear, nor did it reach 180°C, and the car was driven in a relatively energy-saving and stable mode throughout the whole journey, it must be said that this was still outrageous.

After the video ended, as everyone had guessed, the black "Han" in the video appeared directly at the press conference, drove all the way to the stage, and stopped in the middle.

As for the car, the right to speak was returned to the boatman, who interviewed two engineers. The two engineers were visibly tired. There was a lot of dust and mud on the car. It was raining in two places they passed. , but it also seems more real.

I turned on the dashboard and saw that there are still 350 kilometers of battery life left.

In fact, having Master Zhou’s platform is already considered a real success, but this video makes the power of lithium-sulfur batteries more intuitive.

This is pure electricity! The most advanced one on the market only has a range of 300 kilometers, and it’s an inflated standard. It’s not as much as what others have left!

The faces of the car companies below were getting uglier than the last, and some could not help but start reporting to their hometowns.

This is no longer a problem with one model. All the investment they have made in batteries over the past few decades has now been wasted.

No. It’s not just batteries, it also includes a lot of weird technical routes, such as hydrogen energy, ethanol, and natural gas.

It’s no use! It’s no use! The gap is too big!

Aren't you too busy with your work, Master Zhou? If you have the ability, go build a new space station! Go build a moon base!

Boss, please accept your magical powers! The small pond of the automobile market has no room for a great god like you!

The car from Xianyang had finished talking, but the drone had not yet arrived in Su City. Countless lights in the dark night flashed across the screen, but it was impossible to tell where they were.

But no one questions it at this moment.

Zhou Rui came up for the second time. Apparently it was time to talk about batteries again. He smiled and said:

"I was fortunate enough to participate in the design of lithium-sulfur batteries, but this revolutionary technological breakthrough was not accomplished by me. Now I would like to invite the real developer of lithium-sulfur batteries, Professor Fan Zusong, to tell you about it."

The background music made a "shock debut" at the right time, and Zhou Rui also smiled and extended his hand to introduce him, but after waiting for a while, his smile gradually solidified.

Old man Fan Zusong climbed onto the stage with difficulty, yes, climbed up.

The background music has been playing for two rounds, and this guy hasn't climbed up yet.

Obviously there were special stairs on both sides of the stage, but he had to climb the one-meter-high platform from the front.

It got stuck and was twisted there for a long time.

Zhou Rui went over to pull him up with a stiff face. What the hell was this old man doing? He thought you were climbing up the wall!

Fan Zusong patted the clothes on his body, and there was a popping sound on his chest. It was the Bagua plate inside.

I just made a fortune telling that I will ascend to power from the position of Kun, good luck!

Fan Zusong is not afraid of stage. He has participated in many academic conferences and speaks in public.

Anyway, as long as he is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

In terms of image, Fan Zusong is a typical "elderly scientific researcher". Although he is neither ugly nor frustrated, his image is actually somewhat different from that of the "god man" who created lithium-sulfur batteries.

Moreover, his information appeared on the back, and it was written "Professor of Jiaodong University".

What kind of younger brother is Jiaodong University? These results are fake to Harvard University and us!

Until Fan Zusong's first sentence.

"Academician Zhou is humbled. In fact, the entire lithium-sulfur battery development process is basically based on Academician Zhou's guidance. Without Academician Zhou's direction and guidance, the gap between our teams alone would be too big."

Audience: Oh~~~

That’s right! It all makes sense!

Fan Zusong began to explain the advantages, characteristics, and application scenarios of lithium-sulfur batteries while pacing on the stage.

The content is a little dry, but as a scientific researcher, everyone can understand it.

But the steps he took were a little weird. He walked diagonally and made circles, as if he were reciting a poem. After a while, he had already gone around seven or eight times, which made people feel dizzy.

At the edge of the stage, Zhou Rui and Boatman turned off their microphones and whispered, "What is he doing?"

"It seems like Bagua Step? I don't understand."

“Can battery production capacity keep up?”

Brother Boatman nodded and said: "The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has set up a line. As long as it is used to expand the scale of lithium-sulfur batteries, it can provide low-interest loans with the highest treatment. In addition, there are also priority supplies from several state-owned lithium mines to ensure such a large amount of raw materials and production capacity." It will improve very quickly.”

This time BYD opened up its automobile supply chain, and the various supports received in exchange were very adequate.

Correspondingly, with the support of high-quality batteries and components, domestically produced cars, especially some new brands and new companies, can produce cars by spending money, which was unimaginable before.

It is true that after a few years, there will be great waves and no one will be able to win, but from the perspective of the entire industry structure, this step is very important.

"How much does Han cost?"

"32.8."

"Is it a loss?"

"Loss, lithium-sulfur batteries account for a lot of costs, and the establishment of a sales network requires investment, but it doesn't matter. As orders come in, production capacity increases, costs will be suppressed, and the same goes for other car parts."

"My prediction is that BYAT will lose money after selling the first 200,000 units. It will start to break even after selling 200,000 to 500,000 units, and it will only make money after 500,000 units. But it is all worth it. I have prepared thirteen plans for this." Years, Biati’s size can handle it.”

Zhou Rui gave a thumbs up: "If you have vision, come on."

BYAT can resist, but at this price, joint venture cars and foreign-funded cars will be under great pressure.

Even excluding the lithium-sulfur battery, the other configurations of the "Han" are equivalent to a joint venture car worth more than 400,000 yuan, from the engine to the seats to the speakers, appearance and even some detailed parts.

There are no options, no price increases, and no need to sell PUA, and it has absolute market power.

Thinking of the chaos in his previous life, Zhou Rui reminded: "Be careful of someone causing trouble, such as a battery spontaneously igniting, and then sending news nationwide."

Brother Boatman was a little confused: "The oxides in lithium-sulfur batteries are much lower than those of lithium cobalt oxide and ternary lithium, and they are safer in terms of thermal stability and puncture resistance."

Zhou Rui said meaningfully: "Don't overestimate your opponent's bottom line. Why can't someone bring a bottle of alcohol to the point where they can't light it? No matter how good the writing skills of Spring and Autumn are in reporting, black can also be said to be white. In the legal and public relations departments, you have to be willing to spend money." money."

The boatman nodded seriously, and he listened to Zhou Rui's words.

During the chat, Fan Zusong also finished his speech, and Zhou Rui and the boatman brother came on stage together.

The conference is coming to an end.

Boatman announced the cost of the "Han", which is RMB 328,000 for a 1,500-kilometer range and RMB 388,000 for a 2,000-kilometer range. This price may be a bit expensive in the future when new energy vehicles are taking off.

But now that it has been cut off for more than ten years to buy joint ventures, it is simply a conscience, and the configurations are indeed good.

If you buy a joint venture for over 300,000 yuan, some of them can’t even have a reversing camera!

At the end, Zhou Rui also completed his final mission.

At this time, the drone that had been broadcasting live broadcast finally arrived in Sioux City.

Under the attention of countless people, it landed at the entrance of the famous Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou City. It was picked up by an engineer who had been waiting for a long time, and then said hello to the camera.

Engineers also announced the remaining power of the drone, which still has 23% left.

Once again aroused exclamations from the audience.

Zhou Rui looked at the audience and said: "I just said that lithium-sulfur batteries are the lifeblood of end products, so I am sure everyone will be curious about which products will be the first to experience this epoch-making technology."

After a while, Zhou Rui asked and answered: "Okay, no need to guess, the first ones to use must be BYD and Enlightenment Intelligence."

The people below smiled.

"Then the next question is, which companies will experience this advanced technology in the second wave?"

"Invitation! Friendly businessman!"

Several figures came on stage one after another.

They are also senior executives of various companies. Because it is difficult to identify them, their respective company names and logos appear on the big screen.

Huawei's terminal business, Zhongxin Mobile Phone, Gaogao Mobile Phone, Coarse Grain Family Bucket, Meizu, and iFlytek are all typical electronic terminal consumer products.

There are also many companies that are not 2C, such as medical device companies, engineering manufacturing companies, and logistics companies, and they don’t know what they are going to do with lithium-sulfur batteries.

Of course, there is also a LOGO created by Tai Tijiang. It was Gan Yuan who came up directly.

If these are still normal situations, then the appearance of several domestic car companies in a row will surprise the following.

Wuling, Changan, Dongfeng, Hongqi, JAC.

The faces of the following "pure guest" car companies are green!

Okay, okay, this is how you play, right? ! Are you excluding us?

Zhou Rui smiled and said: "Of course, this is just the first batch. There will be more later. Welcome to negotiate."

Finally, Zhou Rui said: "Please pay attention to the 'China Science and Technology Expo' next month. There will be many lithium-sulfur battery products on display in Hangzhou. I will also participate in the exhibition with the entire Furui Group. Everyone, seize the opportunity!"

Below, the leaders of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology gave a thumbs up.

Mr. Zhou is open-minded! Don't forget to promote the Expo!

The boatman also shouted: "BYT will also fully support the 'China Science and Technology Expo'!"

Purely spontaneous, many companies on the stage also spoke out and expressed their willingness to participate in the "China Science and Technology Expo".

All the content was repeated, and it felt messy, with everyone talking at once.

The twenty or thirty people on the stage looked at each other, and could only smile and stop.

As a result, the boatman suddenly had an idea and simply proposed: "Let's do it together! Hand in hand! Shout a slogan."

"Made in China! Make it bigger and stronger!"
