Patton arrived at the press conference hall at half-past two, and the hall was already packed with journalists from all over the world.

A photojournalist from China's state television station is making final preparations for the live broadcast.

Whether it is from the security level of the press conference or the overall environment layout of the press conference, Barton can feel the Chinese cautious about this press conference.

Under normal circumstances, at a press conference of this level, there will be some news about the specific content of the conference before the meeting.

Barton: They will also make some preparations in advance based on the content of the conference.

But today is an exception.

There is no news.

Barton asked all the friends around him, and even called a staff member of the U.S. Embassy in Beijing to get some news out of his mouth, but he still found nothing.

Patton found his place, and next door to him was the press box of his old rival, The Washington Post.

"Hey George, is there any news from you?"

George shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile: "Everyone is the same now, but if there is any news, I'm afraid it will already spread all over the circle." ”

Patton nodded, turning his gaze to the press conference podium.

On the large screen behind the rostrum, there was only a slogan in English and Chinese for the GWE press office, and there was no other information.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the spokesman in charge of presiding over the meeting took the lead in coming out of the backstage, sat down in the position of the host on the side, and said with a smile on his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon." Welcome to the press conference of the GWE Information Office, I am the moderator of today's meeting, Wen Yue. ”

The expression on Wen Yue's face and tone made many Chinese reporters present breathe a sigh of relief.

Today's press conference was really a bit sudden, the official was silent, and CCTV only broadcast the time of the press conference in the news as required, and did not mention half of the content of the press conference.

A lot of people are worried about if something is wrong.

But fortunately, judging from the expression on Wen Yue's face, this press conference should be a good announcement to the outside world.

Wen Yue paused and continued: "Today's press conference was held relatively suddenly, in fact, I myself only learned about the specific content of this press conference half an hour ago. Next, we first invite relevant leaders from FGW, SASAC, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Science and Technology, and Academician Pang Xuelin from Jiangcheng University to come to the stage. ”

Whoop -

As soon as Wen Yue's voice fell, the audience suddenly became noisy, crackling photos mixed with the sound of reporters' discussions, and the press conference hall seemed to be a mess.

Under normal circumstances, the press conference of the GW Information Office is usually attended by the directors or leaders of various ministries and commissions, so there is no problem with the people mentioned by Wen Yue earlier.

The key lies in the last person mentioned by Wen Yue.

Pang Xuelin!

Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Professor Pang Xuelin of Jiangcheng University!

Why did he appear at the press conference of the State Council Information Office?

Almost in an instant, everyone at the scene thought of the bet that Pang Xuelin and Tian Hong had made half a year ago.

Pang Xuelin claimed to have a lithium-air battery within half a year, and the academic community was almost unanimously not optimistic, and in the past six months, the voices of ridicule of Pang Xuelin in the academic circle have come and gone.

Especially as the time for the bet approached, Pang Xuelin did not release any information to the outside world, almost everyone believed that Pang Xuelin would disappear for a period of time because of the failure of the bet, and he would not reappear until the influence of this incident gradually faded.

They never thought that Pang Xuelin would appear in front of everyone in this way.

Combined with the leaders of various ministries and commissions who attended this conference, the theme of this conference is almost imminent.

"How is this possible? Did Pang Xuelin really come up with a lithium-air battery? ”

Barton incredulously.

George beside him said in a deep voice: "It's hard to say, but if it's true, I guess the White House guy will have a headache." ”

Considered by the media to be the most unreliable president in the history of the United States, Te Wupu successfully completed his re-election last year, although Twitter's way of governing the country makes people complain, but in the issue of containing China, Te Wupu spared no effort.

So George is well aware of what it means for the United States once China gets its hands on lithium-air batteries.

Barton nodded, a solemn look on his face.

Compared with these foreign journalists, the Chinese reporters at the press conference showed anticipation one by one.

Those photojournalists kept filming and filming, wanting to record such a historic moment.

At this time, Wen Yue said with a smile on his face: "Presumably everyone has already guessed the content of today's press conference, and below, I would like to invite Professor Pang Xuelin to make a specific speech on the Golden Dragon battery project." ”

The CCTV director focused the camera on Pang Xuelin for the first time, and in front of the TV, countless Chinese people who were watching the press conference showed expressions of expectation and hope on their faces.

Pang Xuelin smiled slightly and said, "Good afternoon, everyone, I'm Pang Xuelin." As you may all remember, half a year ago, I invited Professor Kirton Walker, a former professor of chemistry at Princeton University, to go to Jiangxi University to conduct research on the lithium-air battery project, which was questioned by many academics at that time. At today's press conference, I will make a report to the outside world on the specific progress of the lithium-air battery project. ”

"At present, our team has completed the research and development of a prototype lithium-air battery product, the average capacity of the product has reached 2.78 kWh per kilogram, when charging and discharging 300 times, it can still ensure more than 80% of the capacity, and more than 1,000 times of charging and discharging, the capacity will gradually be reduced to about 50%. After a consistent evaluation by a team of experts, we believe that the product is ready for industrial production. In the future, our team will continue to increase the capacity of lithium-air batteries and promote the large-scale industrial production of this product as soon as possible. In addition, after our discussion, the official product name of this lithium-air battery is Jinlong battery! Well, that's the general situation about King Long battery, and next, I would like to ask Director Yang of FGW to give a specific explanation to the outside world about the relevant policies of King Long battery industrialization. ”

……

Pang Xuelin's voice fell, and the press conference became noisy again.

2.78 kWh per kilogram, charging and discharging 300 times can ensure 80% of the capacity, and the capacity of 1,000 times of charging and discharging is reduced to 50%...... And most importantly, the product is not just a laboratory product, but has the potential for large-scale industrialization.

These messages, like a nuclear bomb, were instantly detonated in the press conference hall.

Then, through the Internet and various radio waves, it is transmitted to the world.
