Chapter 312: A Leap of Times

The scientific and technological pattern of the whole world is largely determined by two aspects, one is energy, and the other is materials.

The foundation of the industrial revolution is inseparable from coal and steel, and the development of modern society is also inseparable from oil and metals.

In modern society, although electricity has been very popular and developed, the importance of oil is still irreplaceable, and when modern society will move towards the next new era, it will play a decisive role in how human beings can find a new energy source that can truly replace oil.

The industrial technology in the super learning system can allow Zhang Wenhao to see the development direction of science and technology in the future to a large extent, the non-renewable nature and pollution of oil determine that this energy will be abandoned in the future, but to abandon oil, modern society still needs at least a hundred years to go.

Electricity is an effective alternative to oil, but it still relies on polluting raw materials, namely coal, and there is still a long way to go in the safe use of nuclear energy. Wind power isn't even enough for the lighting needs of people all over the world; It is said that solar energy is a huge treasure, but it is extremely difficult to achieve centralized popularization of solar energy utilization; Special power production, such as hydroelectric power and geothermal power generation, requires unique geographical conditions.

Even though the vast majority of electricity still needs to be obtained by burning coal, this has not hindered the development of mobile power applications in countries around the world, the so-called mobile power applications. It is to apply electricity to various transportation fields, but due to the constraints of many reasons, it has always been difficult to truly achieve free mobile application of electricity without any restrictions.

For example, electrified railways need to rely on the dense catenary above the railway to provide electricity, and the electric train wants to run as far as it wants. how far the catenary needs to be erected; The same is true for electrified subways, which rely either on catenary or on a third power rail parallel to the tracks; Electric cars also need to be densely covered with catenary on their heads and put on top of two large braids.

There are several applications mentioned above. It is the direct supply of electric energy, not the self-carrying of electric energy, the fundamental reason. Even today, society has not developed a truly suitable energy storage method that can be used as a long-term driving force.

There are some conceptual pure electric cars in the automotive field, but basically they can't run continuously for more than 200 kilometers, in addition, the low charging efficiency is an unacceptable reason, just imagine, who wants to drive out, but the power is out, and they have to find a place to stop and charge for more than seven or eight hours?

If supercapacitor materials are developed, it will break the embarrassing situation of electricity in the mobile field, and the volume of electricity can be stored in a smaller size, lighter weight. However, it is much larger than batteries made of other materials, and it also has the characteristics of fast charging, so that pure electric vehicles can break the previous limitations in practical applications.

In addition to the engine of the Dongchen automobile. The general heat utilization rate of gasoline engines is only about 30%, and the actual kinetic energy converted from the total heat of one kilogram of gasoline is equivalent to 4 kilowatts of electrical energy at best, but compared with the cost, it will be found. One kilogram of gasoline, about 1.25 liters, is worth about 10 yuan, while the price of 4 kilowatts of electricity is no more than 2 yuan, and the energy utilization rate of electric engines can reach more than 90%.

Therefore, if electricity can achieve the portability and endurance of fuel, then the scientific and technological development of the whole society can achieve a leap forward in the times!

Zhang Wenhao can't help but imagine in his heart that if he manufactures supercapacitor materials without considering the significance of national defense, the era of the whole society will be progressed, if the importance of national defense significance is taken into account, then at least this material can also make China's own era develop by leaps and bounds, and what is in front of him is an opportunity! …,

Biateti!

Zhang Wenhao secretly speculated in his heart that BIATTI would never really put a lot of energy into this aspect, the reason why they want to try to transform into this kind of fast-charging electric bus project, the biggest reason is that they have not been competitive enough in the automotive field, and they themselves know that they have to take a lot of risks in the field of electricity, depending on government policies, so if they can make BYD in the automotive field to improve its competitiveness, then the car will inevitably continue to become their core business.

Pang Xin was also shocked by Zhang Wenhao's sudden proposal to sell all of Biatti's battery business to Dongchen? Isn't Dongchen focusing on automobile production? When did you become so interested in the battery field?

Pang Xin is also wondering in his heart, what is the meaning of Zhang Wenhao's words, is Dongchen seeing a business opportunity in the battery field, or do they want to use this move to divide and encroach on Biatti?

The latter was quickly excluded by Pang Xin, Dongchen does not have any real competitors at all now, they have such a strong scientific and technological strength to support, how can they put a little Biatti in their eyes? There is no need for them to divide or eat away at Biate.

Thinking about it this way, the biggest possibility is that Dongchen sees business opportunities in this area.

Business opportunities?

Pang Xin couldn't help but wonder, what are the huge business opportunities in this industry? It's nothing more than a step-by-step development, just like the automotive industry, there are also a lot of competitors in this field, and BIATTI's battery business has been very stable in recent years, and there is no huge business opportunity in sight.

Just when Pang Xin couldn't figure out the reason, Zhang Wenhao spoke again and said lightly: "The road to BIATTI's transformation is very difficult, I think you know this better than me, but BIATTI's automobile manufacturing business now has a certain foundation, it is better to concentrate on the automotive field and lose the battery-related business." ”

Pang Xin smiled bitterly and said: "The key is that our current automobile business is very uncertain, otherwise, we would not have thought about joining the Huahe Alliance." ”

Zhang Wenhao nodded and said, "The Huahe Alliance can open the door to Biatti, and Dongchen will ensure that Biati enjoys all the benefits of the Huahe Alliance, and at the same time, put the points of Biatti's productivity." From 70 to 40, we can also license Piatti to use our own 1.4 and 2.0 engines for use in Piatti's own models, you know, our own engines are better than the engines that we provide to the members of the Huahe Alliance. It's going to be a notch higher. ”

Pang Xin was shocked! If it is really as Zhang Wenhao said, then Dongchen did give Biadi's special care very well, and the points were reduced from 70 to 40. In other words, after getting the Dongchen engine, they have more capacity to produce their own products. Instead of being reduced to an OEM for Dongchen, and Dongchen wants to license its own two classic engines, namely 1.4 and 2.0, two outstanding engines that are enough for more than 80% of civilian vehicles, so that BIATI's competitiveness will be stronger than that of other members of the Huahe Alliance.

Thinking of this, Pang Xin suppressed the excitement in his heart and blurted out, "What are the conditions of Dongchen?" ”

Zhang Wenhao said word by word: "Dongchen will acquire the entire business of BIATTI's entire battery industry in cash at a price of more than 30% of the market price. And it's a 100% equity acquisition. ”

Pang Xin is not harsh, Biatty's battery business, the profit has not been high, otherwise they would not have started earlier, deep-rooted battery business not to concentrate on, but to devote most of their energy to automobile production. Without Dongchen and foreign companies cutting prices, BYD's core business would definitely be car production rather than batteries. …,

If the battery business is sold to Dongchen, it will definitely be a great thing for Biarti to be able to get special care in the Huahe Alliance!

Moreover, Dongchen has cash flow. They want to buy Biatti at 130% of the market price in cash, which is equivalent to Piatti earning a price difference of more than 800 million yuan at once! Coupled with the battery business, which originally had a market value of nearly 2.7 billion yuan, BIATTY can exchange 3.5 billion yuan in cash in a short period of time, and this 3.5 billion yuan can just be used to invest in the field of automobile production, and with its special treatment in the Huahe Alliance, it will fully specialize in automobile manufacturing.

The temptation is definitely big enough, if the idea of his transformation is to cross the river by feeling the stones in the dark, then the conditions given by Dongchen are an incomparably bright and flat avenue.

Pang Xin was afraid that Zhang Wenhao was joking with himself, so he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Zhang, are you representing yourself or Dongchen?" ”

After all, Pang Xin couldn't believe that Zhang Wenhao, the identity of the representative, could make a decision for the entire Dongchen.

Zhang Wenhao said very seriously: "Here, I have full authority to represent Dongchen, and I can promise you that as long as you nod, then all the conditions I told you will be fulfilled!" ”

Pang Xin was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Then I will go back to Shenzhen tonight and communicate with the board of directors!" ”

At the end of the meeting of the Ministry of Commerce, Director Liu was very surprised by Zhang Wenhao's performance today, he knew that in fact, the real person in charge of Dongchen was Zhang Wenhao, and he seemed to improvise today to acquire Biatti's business segment in battery new energy, which made Secretary Liu a little confused.

Why is Zhang Wenhao interested in BIARTE's battery business? Could it be the team behind him that wants to develop in this field?

If this is really the case, then this news is really amazing, Director Liu is in a sensitive position, has a very clear understanding of the world's industrial pattern, now, no matter which industry, waiting for a breakthrough, afraid, is also a breakthrough.

In the age of PCs, who would dare to imagine a portable laptop? And when it really appeared, it brought a major breakthrough in the industry, and because of the arrival of this breakthrough, the leading enterprises have developed greatly, and the enterprises that have fallen behind have suffered a huge blow, and it took a few years to relieve themselves.

As far as the current civilian battery industry is concerned, it is not too big, just mobile phones, laptops, tablets and other mobile devices, once it doubles the battery life without increasing the volume and weight, this technology is enough to bring a huge breakthrough to the entire industry!

And Director Liu couldn't imagine that what Zhang Wenhao was brewing was a breakthrough on a large level, and once the time was ripe, he might even lead the progress of the entire era.

After the meeting, Director Liu and Zhang Wenhao had a private meeting in the hotel, and couldn't help but ask their doubts, and said: "Comrade Xiao Zhang, you are going to acquire Biatty's battery business today, are you already mastering certain advanced technology in terms of batteries?" ”

Zhang Wenhao nodded unabashedly and said, "There are some new technologies waiting to be realized. ”

Director Liu hurriedly asked, "Is it the battery?" ”

Zhang Wenhao nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Officer Liu asked again: "It's a battery." Or a fuel cell? “

Director Liu's question, let Zhang Wenhao know that he is also half of the experts, battery is a common field in today's society, but fuel cells are a new field that developed countries continue to explore, its scientific and technological significance is very significant, but due to many restrictions. It has never really taken shape.

Zhang Wenhao shook his head slightly and smiled, and said, "What Dongchen wants to do is still the battery. ”

"Oh," Director Liu's expression could not hide his disappointment. Said: "Since Dongchen is interested, then just let it go, if there is anything you need my help with." Just tell me. ”…,

Zhang Wenhao knows that Director Liu values fuel cells in his heart, and looks down on batteries, this is because the vision of science and technology is too limited, and they feel that the fuel cells that produce self-produced electric energy are more widely used and more convenient, but the battery focuses on power storage, once its power storage is broken through. It is far better than fuel cells that produce their own electricity.

To promote fuel cells, we must first promote infrastructure construction, fuel cell fuel addition is a very high-end technology, there are less than 100 facilities in the world that can meet this demand, and even less than the number of gas stations in the jurisdiction of a prefecture-level city. Moreover, maintaining the operation of the fuel cell requires a large number of objective conditions, so that the use of this kind of thing is very expensive, and the cost of its own is also surprisingly high, but the battery using supercapacitor materials will not have such a situation, it is very simple is a high-capacity battery. Without any special maintenance, without any high-tech terminal equipment, to meet the rapid replenishment of a large amount of electric energy, all that is needed is nothing more than a high-voltage circuit, as well as a charging interface, the process of battery life is very simple, only need to connect the high-voltage circuit with the battery.

Only the simplest, most reliable and most easy-to-operate technology is the most practical technology, otherwise, just like the current nuclear power, it is very good to say, but the difficulty of operation is too great, it is satisfactory to use, but there are many hidden dangers.

It's no wonder that Director Liu is not interested in the battery, in fact, he can't imagine how strong the performance of the supercapacitor material is, he can't imagine the smart phone in his pocket, it needs to be charged once a day, and it takes 6-8 hours to fully charge each time, but if the battery is made of supercapacitor material, then the same way of use, at least can make his battery life reach more than 5 days, and the full charging time, it's too fucking sci-fi, plug the charger plug into the socket, listen to a song, Before the prelude was finished, the battery was already full.

He couldn't imagine that a pure electric car made of this material can reach a range of at least 400 kilometers, and the charging time of such a large-capacity battery will not exceed two minutes, which is similar to the time it takes for a fuel dispenser to fill up a tank of fuel, or even a little faster, and a fast charging terminal that can cope with such a large-capacity battery is even less than one-fifth of a fuel dispenser.

If the subway system is transformed with this material, then the longest subway line of no more than 100 kilometers does not need to erect any power supply equipment, only needs to add a fast charging system at one end, and in the case of full load operation, it can run at least more than 100 kilometers on a single charge.

If you build an electric bus, then the operating cost of the bus will drop by at least 70%, if it is used to build a conventional submarine, it will be a bit painful, because the general diesel generator can not quickly replenish the power of such a large amount of power, but the endurance will be increased several times.

However, the most direct use is to combine with Dongchen Automobile, with this material, Dongchen can launch a truly environmentally friendly and economically significant hybrid car, pure electric vehicles, in the field of civil transportation, Dongchen alone, all other competitors of the market have been encroached upon.

Before this material was really created, these great significance, Director Liu could not imagine at all, he quickly turned over this article, and turned to Zhang Wenhao and said: "Dongchen's DCC-1800A high-power diesel engine has passed all the tests of NORINCO, the performance of the engine on the active main battle tank is quite amazing, the power performance has been greatly improved, it can be called the world's top, and the military will soon issue a formal approval and procurement list, and the early purchase volume can reach at least 5,000 units." ”

Zhang Wenhao nodded and smiled, and said, "Five thousand units is really not worth mentioning for that production line." ”

Director Liu nodded and said: "Yes, 5,000 units is a little less, but you must know that in the field of national defense, there are not too many single engines at all, and now, the number of the latest main battle tanks with real combat effectiveness is not more than 1,000, and the number of tanks still in use in the old model is not more than 10,000." ”

Zhang Wenhao nodded and said: "In this case, then I will use this production line to produce civilian high-power diesel engines, many heavy industry and heavy truck companies need better diesel engines." ”

Heavy industry, heavy truck field, diesel engine is the only power configuration, in addition, gasoline engine and electric engine have no use at all, and the biggest benchmark to measure their manufacturing standards, is the level of the engine, Zhang Wenhao has no energy involved in this field of vehicle production, however, he can authorize his engine to XCMG, Liugong and Sany Heavy Industry, Zoomlion such enterprises, if the engine is greatly improved, then they and foreign Liebherr and the like, the gap will be infinitely narrowed, or even form a counter-overtake.

Director Liu said: "This, I want to convey it to the senior management on your behalf, if they have no opinion, then you can freely dispose of the remaining capacity of this production line." ”

"That's good." Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly and said, "Then I have you to lose." (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
