Chapter 226: A Battery Beyond an Era
Crazy electric car!
This is the horrific topic that instantly suppressed the popularity of the "Star World" game and the "Star" movie!
It can be said that after discovering that TT shared electric bikes can be charged, it immediately ignited the entire network without any time delay.
In fact, TT sharing was already very popular before, because it is really convenient, and the shared bicycles are always parked in a very comfortable location, as if it can read your mind and you can see it just when you want it.
Several pilot cities went from having no one interested in them at the beginning to not enough to accommodate them later.
This is while TT Sharing is still constantly replenishing its electric vehicles!
Some of the original habits of taking the bus have been lost, and even many people who originally had their own electric bikes are too lazy to charge and park, so after gradually getting used to the shared electric bikes, they just let the one they have at home gather dust!
TT sharing has been very popular in recent days, and there are other competitors holding PPTs to promote their own sharing products, using TT as an example.
Our shared bicycles can complement each other perfectly. When you want to exercise, you can ride a bicycle, and when you are in a hurry, you can ride an electric bike. It's perfect.
They are so popular that many investors really feel that this is the case.
At least the few companies that have taken the shared bicycle route have made a relatively fast start and are almost completely imitating TT Sharing.
It’s okay that their electric bikes have a longer range, we are not competing in the same direction, we just want to get a taste of it! We are bicycles!
After all, they don’t have a terrible traffic platform like TT, so they can only bundle it.
Moreover, for Internet companies, it is not essential to make money immediately; what is needed is speed and traffic!
As long as the popularity is hyped up and there is traffic, there will be ways to monetize it.
Therefore, with the stimulation of those friendly competitors spending money on hot searches, the popularity of TT sharing has always been quite high.
But before that, it was just not low!
Although the battery with super long battery life is amazing, after some people learned about it, they found that it cannot be charged and it is just a topic of conversation after dinner. They think it has little impact on daily life.
Compared with the hot topics of the linkage between World Company’s own “Star World” and “Starry Sky”, it is really nothing.
Many people also said that the world is a game company after all, so it should produce more games.
But as the battery bike charging action was exposed, as well as its ability to fine-tune the position, it instantly set the entire network on fire!
Oh shit!
Doesn't it mean it can't be charged?
What's going on?
Experts, please speak out!
"Look how excited you are. Isn't it just rechargeable? Isn't it normal to recharge batteries now? Technology is developing."
These are netizens who are unaware of the truth. Indeed, for most netizens, they just use things as long as they are useful. As for the technological level inside, it is not something they need to know.
However, there are also many netizens who pay attention to this and some who know a little bit and start to explain directly
"You may not understand if I tell you directly. Let me give you an example. Your phone can be used for several days without charging. It's not standby mode. It can be used as you wish!"
It involves the issue of mobile phone battery life and mobile phone power anxiety, and the impact immediately increases.
"What the hell? This thing can be used on a cell phone?"
"Yes, it couldn't be charged at first. I asked at first, what's the point of it being able to be charged?"
"Bunker!"
"When can I use it on my phone? Urgent!"
"Wow, the shared electric bikes I usually ride have this technology? To be honest, the price of these electric bikes is a bit high. At first I thought the 200 yuan deposit was a bit expensive."
"The two hundred deposit was originally just to prevent you from littering and to save your money. It's not specifically for the price of the electric vehicle! If you litter it, Umbrella will have to send a retrieval mission to get it back. The money is for maintenance and sorting, not the price of the electric vehicle."
"My goodness, can Umbrella do whatever it wants? This range, this thing is a Nobel Prize-level breakthrough!"
If you say something else, you might not be able to react clearly, but when you mention the Nobel Prize, you instantly understand its significance!
"It has been directly commercialized, but they didn't even launch a satellite before? Umbrella is really low-key!"
"Looking at the recent technical announcements about batteries, almost every time there is a breakthrough, a satellite will be launched, even if it is still a long way from commercial use. But what about now? Our batteries still only have this much battery life."
This has been discovered, and Umbrella Corporation finally issued a statement.
The company has made some breakthroughs in lithium metal batteries, achieving improvements in energy density, fast cyclic charging and safety through Li-Ag alloys.
The announcement was short and seemed perfunctory, and then Umbrella also registered some patents.
The application of Li-Ag alloy negative electrode and the influence of atomic arrangement on the properties of alloy electrode.
Then I casually submitted an article to Science.
Passed in seconds!
Wang Yi can be said to be quite generous. The arrangement of the atomic structure of Li-Ag alloy is listed for you in the paper!
As long as you can achieve this arrangement , you can achieve the purpose required by the battery!
Of course, this structure itself is one of the patents applied for by Umbrella and is not licensed free of charge.
If a friendly competitor has optimized the production process and can put it into practice, you can come and pay to obtain authorization.
The authorization also sets a proper profit-sharing ratio, with 5% of the total amount as patent fee.
This battery is so amazing that it can be said to be leading the world level. It also involves future new energy sources. If Umbrella acts as if he is covering it up, it will be quite troublesome.
No matter how strong Umbrella appeared to be in the past, it was useless.
In this case, then apply for a patent publicly, register in various countries simultaneously, and publish papers publicly. The technology is here, come and replicate it if you have the ability!
In this regard, even though the patent fees charged by Umbrella were very high, it immediately received unanimous praise from the academic community.
“Academics need to be open, shared, and studied together.”
"Umbrella is truly a groundbreaking company, a large company with a sense of responsibility."
"There will be explosive development in the new energy field in the future!"
"A tenfold increase in energy density. This is Umbrella's technological heritage!"
“…”
Of course, when various manufacturers saw that Umbrella was so decisive but there were no corresponding production process instructions, they also knew that there must be pitfalls in this production process!
But now that you know the structure, you can focus on studying it!
However, Umbrella has not yet officially sold their batteries to the outside world. They have mainly provided them to their own electric vehicle factories for reasons of production capacity and testing, which makes it difficult for all parties to say anything.
There is nothing wrong in giving priority to supplying yourself. It is normal that the production capacity cannot keep up when the product is suddenly taken out of the laboratory for commercial use!
And the technology is open to the public, you can make it yourself!
At the same time, they also understood why Umbrella had recently integrated factories in so many fields.
In fact, if you look closely, you can find that whether it is a mobile phone, an electric car, or some portable electronic products, the influence of the battery can be said to be an extremely important factor!
Judging from the look of Umbrella's boss, he actually doesn't want to disclose the battery technology so early. The shared electric vehicles are more like a performance testing practice!
Now that he has been exposed, he is pretending to deal with it perfunctorily.
Just look at their reaction when applying for patents and you will know that they have been prepared for a long time!
In fact, many materials have excellent properties in themselves, and the appearance of a special arrangement of Li-Ag alloy here does not make people feel too abnormal or strange.
Let’s take a familiar example, graphene. You’ve probably heard of it so many times that you’ve almost heard of it.
Speaking of graphene, we have mentioned before that lithium batteries are divided into two types: lithium metal and lithium ion. Now Umbrella’s lithium metal battery has Li-Ag as the negative electrode.
Graphene can become the negative electrode of a lithium-ion battery whose positive electrode is a lithium compound. The effect in the laboratory is also excellent. Although it is not as good as the products currently produced by Umbrella, it is still much better than the batteries on the market.
However, the graphene manufacturing process has been stuck in the mass production stage for a long time, and the problem of graphene agglomeration after mass production has always been a headache.
It was not until a few years later in the parallel world that some news about the mass production of graphene came out.
Therefore, although graphene has good performance in the laboratory, it has not been seen in commercial use so far. However, there are many related gimmick products.
The same is true for Li-Ag alloys at present.
Graphene is actually very simple. The atomic structure of a single layer of carbon can be laid out. So what if it can be laid out? Just because it can be tested in the laboratory does not mean it can be used commercially.
The same is true for Umbrella's battery. The atomic structure is like this. You can do whatever you want!
However, unlike graphene, the example of Li-Ag alloy is right in front of us.
If there are successful people, it means we can find a way to make it happen!
As long as you work hard, hope is ahead!
If it succeeds, even if Umbrella gets a 5% royalty, it would be absolutely acceptable. After all, Umbrella can't take the initiative to start a price war. If they do, they will also be able to accuse it of "monopoly" or "dumping."
Therefore, as long as it can succeed, this will be an absolutely high value-added cutting-edge industry.
It is still an industry with great demand in the future!
It can be said that as the performance of Umbrella, the king of electric vehicles, emerged, as the properties of the battery were exposed, and as Umbrella announced the technology, it applied for a patent.
Except for the plummeting stock prices of companies that directly manufacture batteries, the stock prices of other battery-related products have skyrocketed!
For example, SX electric cars and fruits all grow against the wind!
There is no way. Umbrella itself is not listed, so funds can only flow to related companies.
After mortgaging its patents in exchange for working capital, SX electric vehicles have now begun to emerge with their own technology.
However, the range and charging time of electric vehicles have always been a problem nowadays, even for the SX cars of this period, and this has always been a headache for Mazda.
There is no doubt that Umbrella's batteries will definitely bring huge dividends to the long-term electric vehicle market!
Although Umbrella has now acquired an electric car manufacturer, it may also enter this field in the future.
But as long as his batteries are not unsold, SX cars with more technology and production capacity will have their own advantages!
Sixing’s screens are good, and it also has a variety of technologies, but can it not do business with the fruit industry?
No, the bulk of the profits from mobile phones still come from fruits.
The same is true for Umbrella now. After all, Umbrella's strengths currently lie in biotechnology and artificial intelligence, while its physical industrial sector is almost blank.
The requirements for automobiles are extremely high, and even though we know that Umbrella is entering the market, we are still more optimistic about SX Electric Vehicle Company.
The same goes for fruit. You have to sell batteries anyway, right?
My fruit machine has super long battery life, so I can kill as many people as I want, right?
The only ones who are suffering are some traditional battery manufacturers, many of which are from the East. After discovering the problems, they knew they had to consider transformation.
The gap is too big, they are not on the same level at all...
