Inside the huge vacuum laboratory, a lot of equipment is running. At the same time, there are several staff members there.

The staff wore specially manufactured protective suits and were tightly wrapped around their bodies, and their helmets were equipped with air tubes.

The material of the super battery can only be made in a vacuum environment. Moreover, the process is very complex and the cost is also very high.

"Boss, at the moment we have determined the production process of this material. Production costs have also been significantly reduced. We are currently working on new production processes to further reduce costs, and our team is also working on the fast charging performance of this material......"

The person in charge of the study began to explain to Zhang Fan the progress of this time. The progress during this period is still very large.

After all, for many technologies, it is very difficult to start from scratch. However, it is relatively easy to reduce costs and mass production.

During this event, the lab produced a lot of samples, and with enough samples could be used for large-scale experiments.

At the beginning, the production cost of the first piece was hundreds of millions of yuan, and now the production cost of each piece has been reduced to 30 million yuan.

But even so, the cost is still an unacceptable price. A coin-sized battery is 30 million yuan, and no matter how rich you are, you don't dare to play like this.

Not to mention 30 million, even if the cost price of 300,000 yuan does not meet the standard of commercial use. If it wants to be put into commercial use, it must be reduced to at least 30,000.

Therefore, the road is still very far away, and it needs to be explored slowly. Moreover, this is a money-burning project, and in such a short period of time, this project has burned more than 20 billion funds.

There is a lot more to be studied, in addition to reducing costs, they also need to study how long the life of the super battery is, how safe it is, how to be able to charge it at the fastest speed, and so on.

"Continuing R&D, money is not an issue now. I hope that our battery can be put into mass production as soon as possible. For people, this battery is a blessing for mankind. ”

Zhang Fan said seriously, and the person in charge also nodded. This super battery is very versatile. If put into use, the human energy system will undergo a major transformation.

After Zhang Fan left the Energy Research Institute, he came directly to the Military Research Institute. The Super Battery is a big killer, especially in some specific equipment, and the lethality is even greater.

Such a super battery, even if it can be mass-produced, Zhang Fan will not take it out easily. This thing can be kept secret for as long as it can be kept secret, this is the weight in Zhang Fan's hand.

"Let the head of the submarine group come to my office. ”

Zhang Fan came to the Military Research Institute. The R&D center of the Iron Eagle Group is also located inside the underground base of Blue Ocean City.

After years of development, the underground base of the headquarters of Blue Ocean City has been continuously expanded. It is expanding not only to the surrounding area, but also to the underground.

Some important research institutes are hundreds of meters underground, and they are heavily guarded, and you need to go through many security checks to enter and exit.

Submarine project, after the creation of the Iron Eagle Group. A special R&D team was set up. Because of the lack of experience, the first project to start with is the electric mini submarine project.

For such a project, Longteng Group still has a little bit of experience. After all, Longteng Group has experience in building sightseeing submarines.

But that kind of small sightseeing submarine and military submarine are completely different things, and in front of military submarines, that kind of sightseeing submarine is just a big toy.

Military submarines are the target of this research group. Ever since they started and this group, they have been busy.

"Sit down, what's the progress of the project so far?"

Zhang Fan asked with concern. The submarine is a strategic-level weapon, and once it is alone, even the United States will have to throw a mouse.

"Boss, progress is slow at the moment. We don't have any construction experience. Even conventional submarines are very difficult for us. Now advanced conventional submarines, all have AIP systems, and we do not have any technical reserves at this point. ”

The person in charge said seriously that submarines are not so easy to make. Especially in today's society, it's not like you build a boat that can run underwater, it's a submarine.

To have combat capability and even deterrence, your submarine must be strong. What's the use of just making something that can only run underwater?

"Can we go all-electric? It's like a car, just omit the engine ......"

Zhang Fan asked seriously.

"Chairman, this plan seems to be fine. However, according to the current battery technology, the endurance of the pure electric submarine will be very weak. ”

The person in charge said seriously. If the pure electric submarine was feasible, all countries would have developed it a long time ago.

The amount of power that batteries can store is limited, and even with all-solid-state batteries now, the range of pure electric submarines is very large.

The most critical supply is that even if there are ocean-going supply ships, it is very difficult to replenish. If it's fuel, it's ready to be filled up in no time.

If it is charged, such a large submarine, I don't know how long it will take to charge it.

"What if you use a graphene battery?"

Zhang Fan's words made everyone stunned.

"At present, our company has made a great breakthrough in the research and development of graphene batteries. The new graphene battery is better than the all-solid-state lithium battery. The energy storage capacity of a graphene battery of the same volume is three times that of an all-solid-state battery. On top of that, graphene batteries charge very quickly. Charging speed is more than hundreds of times faster than ordinary batteries......"

Zhang Fan threw out a bomb. The bomb made everyone's eyes light up at once.

If this is the case, pure electric submarines can be developed. If you use a graphene battery, then the performance of the submarine can be very good.

Especially when it comes to supply, as long as the supply ship is charged, even large submarines will be charged very quickly.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Zhang Fan laughed. This is just a graphene battery, if you know the super battery, it is estimated that it will be even more scared.

When it comes to energy storage, the energy storage of a super battery is hundreds of times that of a graphene battery. When the time comes, replace the graphene battery with a super battery, and the disadvantages of pure electric submarines will all disappear.

The performance of a conventionally powered submarine with a super battery is comparable to that of a nuclear-powered submarine. And as a pure electric submarine, it has a great advantage.

At the very least, it saves a lot of space. There is no need to install an engine, just a motor to drive the propeller shaft.

Such an advantage is better than that of nuclear submarines. The nuclear submarine must also have a reactor, and the heat generated by the reactor drives the steam turbine and then drives the propeller shaft, which wastes a lot of space, and for the submarine, every bit of space is very precious.
