After Luo Jia left the software center, he went to the laboratory to have a look.

Most of the hardware corps went to Australia to enjoy the free holidays provided by the company.

But not everyone was in the mood to travel, especially the chemistry department, which was responsible for photoresist research and development, and all of them chose to stay and work overtime.

Judging from the current progress, the photoresist project is only one step away from a breakthrough.

It's not easy, science needs to be accumulated, Luo Jia uses the knowledge he has mastered to keep knocking on the side, but theory is one thing, and really making products is another.

In addition, there are also cost and production matching issues that need to be considered, all of which are solved before a mature product is available, otherwise it is just a sample in the laboratory.

The display project is finally over, and Luo Jia finally has some free time.

He went home every day for dinner, spent the night at home, chatted with his parents, and during the day, he went to the old captain surnamed Kong to learn about navigation.

Mr. Kong was in China Shipping to run a 10,000-ton dry bulk carrier, and he was able to catch Luo Jia's small fishing boat.

In addition, he also has an apprentice, surnamed Ma, not very old, Luo Jia calls him Brother Xiaoma, he is the second deputy under the old man, and he also came to help during the holiday.

In the work of running a boat on the ocean, it is often to go to sea for half a year and rest for half a year, Luo Jia paid for the two of them to teach, and the two of them were quite happy to earn some extra money, so they came over in a car.

Navigation is a very complex system, even if you are driving a small boat such as a fishing boat, you must learn to read nautical charts, be familiar with ocean currents, understand maritime satellites and radios, learn how to operate and evade, understand the meaning of signal systems such as wind signals and signal flags, and master the safe operation of entering and leaving the port.

Luo Jia learned very quickly, since receiving the extraterrestrial inheritance, his body has undergone some kind of magical changes, and he now only sleeps three hours a day, but he is still full of energy.

When he was in school, Luo Jia liked to play basketball, and now he has completely given up exercising, but his physical condition is getting better and better, his brain thinking speed is getting faster and faster, and his comprehension ability and memory have increased significantly.

Enron is the best genius in the company, and he went to college at the age of twelve.

Whenever he and Luo Jia discussed a problem, others couldn't interject at all, the pace was too fast, from one problem to another, the two of them jumped wildly, as if two high-speed computers were at full power, launching amazing brainstorming, which became a peculiar landscape in the company.

It can be seen that Luo Jia's current IQ and thinking ability are at least at the same level as Enron.

Luo Jia estimated that it may be that the Golden Dome had made some kind of physical optimization for himself, after all, it was not easy for them to find an inheritor across the vast sea of stars, in case the knowledge had not been transmitted, Luo Jia himself would hang up first, who would he talk to?

After learning a few sailing lessons, Mr. Kong told Luo Jia that in the future, he could sail alone on a boat, and if he encountered any problems, he would call Xiao Ma and him.

The next day, the hardware corps restarted, and after returning from Australia, they all seemed to be a little tanned, but they were all in good spirits.

didn't need Luo Jia's instructions, the company's middle-level and above leaders gathered in the conference room, and then went to Luo Jia's office to find him.

"Everyone knows very well that every time you let us go out to play, it's because we have important work after we come back, you see, we are all ready, what to do next, please Mr. Luo instructed!" An Ran said, sat with the others, and stared at Luo Jia.

Luo Jia smiled, "Since that's the case, then I'll just say it, next, we have to gnaw a hard bone!" ”

Straight men are agitated, guessing which field they want to enter.

Luo Jia remained silent, reached out into his sweatshirt, took out a small silver cylinder, and placed it in the center of the conference room.

Rumble~

In an instant, the crowd was excited, the eyes of the straight men of steel were red, and the muscles of their whole bodies were tense, and they could be clearly heard, and their wheezing voices were getting worse.

This is just a small thing, but the importance of this little thing, everyone knows deeply, if the integrated circuit is the heart of the science and technology industry, then this small thing, is the blood of science and technology!

Luo Jia said lightly, "This is a 18650 lithium cobalt oxide power battery produced by Panasonic, one of the strongest models in the world, which can withstand 30A continuous discharge and a capacity of 3400 mAh." ”

"Tesla P85 electric vehicle, is made of this kind of battery, a total of 7104 are used, fused into 74 and 96 strings of battery packs, voltage 345.6 volts, capacity 251.6AH, coupled with the powerful power of 310KW motor, so that Tesla once launched, it quickly amazed the whole world."

"In the later Tesla P100 and P120 models, and even in Tesla's electric trucks, they use a stronger, Panasonic 21700 lithium cobalt oxide battery."

Speaking of this, Luo Jia stopped and swept his gaze over the conference room.

"To tell you the truth, I've really been thinking about this project for a long time, the battery is a hard bone, how hard is it?"

"Since the invention of lithium batteries in the early nineties, after decades and the efforts of several generations of scientists, almost all the solutions that can be studied have been studied, but so far, no major breakthroughs have been made."

"Whether it is lithium iron phosphate, lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganese oxide, let me put it this way, all the batteries currently manufactured in the world, from lead-zinc batteries to ternary lithium batteries, none of them can support the future of the industry."

"You all know, I have a Tesla Model X, and to be honest, that car is just terrible, with slow charging, poor battery life, and as soon as the weather is cold, the battery starts to shrink severely."

Luo Jia said as she took out the whiteboard that had been prepared long ago and wrote on it with an ink pen.

Everyone immediately understood that Mr. Luo was going to start getting serious.

He has always been like this, whenever the company enters a field, he will do a comprehensive investigation and research on the industry, as a leader, perhaps no one can do better than Luo Jia.

When Luo Jia finished writing the list of the top 20 in the lithium battery industry, everyone laughed.

Because in this list, the names of Samsung and LG have appeared, ranking second and third in the world respectively.

Sure enough, the road is narrow, no matter which direction Xingchen Technology develops, it is inevitable to fight with them.

However, this also shows the strength of Samsung Group from another aspect, this super giant that accounts for more than 20% of South Korea's GDP, has too wide a business scope.

In November 2009, Panasonic acquired Sanyo to form a de facto monopoly in high-performance batteries, and other Korean manufacturers and Chinese manufacturers are followers of Panasonic, and there is a big gap in technology.

The list of the top 20 was quickly written, and everyone was excited, because among the top 20 giants in the industry, China accounted for as many as 13! It's a long row of names, and it's really uplifting to look at!

Swish~

But no one expected that Luo Jia directly waved his hand and wiped the list that had just been written.

"It's good for you to know about this thing, because they're all about to be killed by us." Luo Jia said very domineeringly.

There was laughter in the conference room, and Luo Jia's casual humor eased everyone's original nervousness a lot.

As Luo Jia continued to write, more and more professional content began to appear on the whiteboard.

"In a battery, there are four major raw materials, which are cathode materials, anode materials, separator materials, and electrolyte materials." Luo Jia said quickly, "The cost of cathode materials accounts for 46% of the total cost of batteries. ”

"In 2015, the three major players of cathode materials were still South Korea's L&F, Neon Nichia, and Neon Umicore, but only in 2016, China's Shanshan Energy has surpassed the three giants of cathode materials and become the new global first."

"Doesn't that sound familiar?"

"That's right, it's the Shanshan who makes shirts, they not only make shirts and ties, but also big players in the new energy industry, this industry crosses, I don't know how to describe it, no way, maybe this is the characteristics of my country's enterprises, as long as they have the potential to make money, they dare to play anything."

"Panasonic battery is currently the strongest in the world, but Panasonic also has to purchase cathode materials from suppliers such as Shanshan Energy and Xiamen Tungsten Industry.

Listening to Luo Jia's words, laughter erupted in the conference room.

Who would have thought that Shanshan, which makes shirts, is still the largest supplier of cathode materials for lithium batteries, and the span of this industry is really incredible.
