Fortunately, Joanna found out in time, Dandan's illness improved on the second day, and on the third day, he recovered as usual and lively, but An Feng suffered from Joanna a lot, he also had a big belly, and all the blame was taken as it was, anyway, it was his own fault, and Joanna would not scold.

Miss Fu's scolding skills are limited, An Feng is bored and lazy to support her chin, and she can't fight her own ...... Fast forward to the beginning of May, Joanna is busy, and May and June are the traditional graduation season. And Anfeng also received the latest news from GP: the battery has broken through!

An Feng once asked that before the super battery was really manufactured, he was not allowed to use the word "breakthrough", and the apprentices all knew the temperament of the boss of Lu Dao, so they generally replaced it with "progress" and "small success". This time, all three emails were titled "Breakthrough".

An Feng didn't dare to slack off, and flew to Austin the next day.

In the cabin, the notebook consulted the report sent to him by the leader of the battery team, Eitan Bassett. In the graphene R&D project, Song Wenrui is the team leader, but in terms of super batteries/capacitors, Eitan Bassett, a Jew, is the real technical man. Song Wenrui is more specialized in the field of chips.

Although Anfeng's battery/capacitor technology is stained with the name of "graphene", it is very different from the "graphene battery" researched on the market, and the modern ones are made of "using the characteristics of lithium batteries to shuttle quickly and heavily between the graphene surface and the electrode". In the R&D concept of GP, these are only semi-finished products, and the technology provided by Anfeng can be called a complete product.

So this is the reason why the group members are obsessed, even if the treatment is average, they are not willing to leave, and who wants to give up the technology beyond the current concept product?

After Anfeng's plane landed in Austin, the company shuttled him to the GP headquarters, without saying a word, together with CEO Benjamin Hawley, team leader Song Wenrui, battery pack Eitan Bassett and chipset Tian Hao walked into the changing room in a hurry, changed into dust-free clothes, and entered the No. 1 laboratory after inspection.

In the spacious and white laboratory, the technicians are waiting, and the experimental specimens are placed on the table, which is about the same size as the battery of a family car, and there is nothing outstanding about the appearance.

There is a complete set of accurate battery capacity testers in the laboratory, which can detect the charging and discharging time, voltage, temperature, current and other data, and now the experimenter is connecting to the super battery, at the same time, Eitan Bassett introduced in English with a bit of an accent: "Compared with the same volume of lithium-ion batteries, the super battery we developed has more than 100 times the power density, and more than 10 times the energy density......

"Please be amateur." CEO Hawley jokingly.

Everyone laughed, and the excitement eased a little. Bassett listed the data as simply as possible: "By comparison, the super battery of the same volume is more than 30 times the capacity of an ordinary battery, and the charging time is maintained within ten seconds, while the discharge time exceeds that of the capacitor, which only takes two seconds!" ”

"What about lifespan?" An Feng asked.

Bassett is more rigorous about the technical boss: "Because of the combination of three chemical projects, it is estimated that after 300 charges, or a year or more of use, the battery will still be ten times more efficient than the lithium-ion batteries on the market today, and the maintenance cost will be relatively lower." ”

"Well done." An Feng praised it, even a layman who didn't know much about it, he knew what these data meant in Bassett's mouth.

Benjamin Hawley suppressed his excitement and tried to make his tone sound calmer, but everyone still clearly felt his joy: "What about the cost?" ”

For this, Bassett said: "The cost of this Type VI test is about $1.2 million. ”

The figure of 1.2 million has extinguished the excitement of many people, and the cost is too high! If it cannot be reduced, it is basically impossible to achieve full-scale mass production in the middle and low ends. Of course, An Feng's expression has not changed from beginning to end. Nonsense, when is the cost of the experiment not high? It is to get it out first, and then you can think about how to compress the material, reduce the cost, or use copycat components...... The last one is ignored.

Bassett looked at everyone's faces behind the masks, only the layman's face changed, the insiders were not surprised, he continued: "There is almost no need for such advanced products on the market at the moment, I think Mr. Hawley is a good supervisor, you should know what to do." ”

Hawley nodded: "How much does it take to keep the leading cost performance as much as possible?" ”

"It has not been tested in practice, but according to Mr. Ahn's plan, the cost can be reduced to two to three times that of conventional batteries on the market, while maintaining five to eight times the capacity and three to five minutes of charging, which requires the high-end and low-end requirements of the enterprise," Bassett said. ”

Naturally, high-end products are the best, fastest, and most expensive to show off. The low-end is just coming, anyway, it is more cost-effective than other traditional batteries. Later, they watched the on-site charging and discharging test several times, and the data was amazing, and even before the experiment began, the company also specially replaced a special transformer.

After watching the third discharge process and the data recorded on the computer display screen, An Feng said with a smile: "Do you know what I have in mind?" ”

Everyone looked at him.

"Railgun!" An Feng said.

Everyone suddenly realized. Indeed, the electromagnetic railgun requires a huge current to pass through the parallel rail instantaneously, which is impossible for traditional batteries, but capacitors can, but it needs to form a large, bloated matrix, which can only be installed by naval warships, and is inefficient and has a short life.

This is the reason why the Americans, after they came up with electromagnetic cannons, have been unable to equip their armies for a long time. And the technology that An Feng got is not only in the civilian field, but also has an impact on the military: if there is a nuclear reactor for energy and a super battery for fast charging and fast discharging, do you think there will still be a problem with the railgun? However, he wasn't going to show his cards so soon. Sometimes, being too eye-catching can lead to unexpected trouble.

No matter how cunning the competitors are, they all need to play by the rules, but a national government, they may not fully care about these ...... Anfeng is well aware of the importance of super batteries to the military, which also means that before there is enough strength, it will be burdened, so this battery will not be available for a long time.

Even after today, it will be destroyed.

But coming back to the words, someone has to be able to afford such an advanced technique, right? A smart company, even if it has mastered these techniques, is to take its time and divide it into more than ten or twenty years of technical levels. The act of exposing the hole cards at once is not done by businessmen, and making money is about a long stream.

Therefore, whether from the perspective of the country or business, this battery costing more than one million is destined to appear in ten years - on the contrary, a super battery with much weaker performance than it is born. It can be predicted that it has brought an unprecedented revolution in the battery industry, and the momentum of monopoly is unmatched.

After the experiment, everyone withdrew, and everyone who visited signed a thick confidentiality agreement, and the leak will cause a lifetime of lawsuits, and at the same time, Holly did not forget to remind the company's legal department to pay attention to the patent application. This time it's a real game, and if possible, "how many times the technician went to the toilet on the way" will have to be recorded.

The patent application is handed over to a special team of the company's major shareholders to deal with, which is also a special case and won in the shortest time. After changing into dust suits, everyone gathered, and the excitement was not yet relieved, and only after the secretary brought champagne and wine glasses did everyone clink glasses and cheer each other.

From electric vehicles to batteries for any mobile device, and even electric airplanes, in this environment where technology is becoming more and more developed, oil is becoming less and less, there are more and more handheld devices, and cars are becoming more and more environmentally friendly, high-capacity, fast-charging and fast-discharging batteries can easily seize the market.

Wealth is beyond doubt, and its low cost means that it is completely unmatched by any rival in the short term, and tens of billions of dollars of wealth can be easily pocketed, and victory will be easily captured...... And now shareholders are even thinking about how to deal with antitrust laws.

R&D technology An Feng thinks that no one can match, but the giants are experts in the means.
