Chapter 51: Seal the Lingyuan Battery?
As the owner of Boston Dynamics, Mark DeLoney was clearly unhappy that his meeting would be interrupted. This is the highest level meeting of the entire company, and it is related to the next major development of the company.
However, when Delony saw this white coat, his original anger was reduced by half, and when he heard this white coat say that he had found an aura, the whole person was instantly refreshed, and all his anger was transformed into joy.
The white coat is Tom Donovan, the chief scientist at Boston Dynamics and the project lead for the Super Soldier.
"This is not the time for jokes! stop the meeting and take me there!" Delogney was overjoyed.
"When the Lingyuan battery appeared, we were studying the mysterious power in the battery. Donovan led the group towards the lab, his eyebrows fluttering: "One thing is certain: this is a completely new substance. It's strange that we even believe in the occult again for a moment. But fortunately, when we spent a lot of money comparing all the databases that existed, we were able to quickly locate the mysterious substance. ”
"This mysterious substance has been found in pits that are more than 100 meters high, so according to the samples provided by the comparison database, we were able to find a vein in an abandoned coal pit in Illinois!"
Deloni immediately grabbed the tie of an executive next to him: "I'll give you a billion dollars, and if you don't have enough money, call me at any time." Now, immediately, immediately, buy that ore as fast as you can, and the same goes for the surrounding land, as much as you want!"
"Yes!BOSS!" The executive didn't say a word, and didn't care about any luggage and work, and immediately went out, and in less than twenty minutes, he saw a light plane arrive at the company, and took off directly towards the destination.
"And then? Dear Donovan, can you tell me that our super soldier potions can be quickly mass-produced?" Delogney's eyes burned, looking at Donovan's eyes as if he was looking at a moving gold mine: "Are we not afraid that the Chinese will ban the export of Lingyuan batteries from us?"
"That's right, boss. Your instincts are very sharp, and that's exactly what I want to say!" Donovan said with a smile: "We have successfully solved the most important problem of raw material supply, and naturally we will be ready for mass production." However, I am still very concerned about the export ban on China. ”
"There are not many aura substances needed for genetic medicines, and according to the reserves obtained from the current exploration, we can solve the needs of genetic medicines in a short period of time. However, the batteries needed for exoskeleton armor were far from enough. We lack the abundant production capacity of Zhilai Technology, and it is difficult for the current reserves to meet the needs of genetic drugs. ”
"Nevertheless, I am glad that I am confident that I will continue to develop various models of super gene agents. It is no longer an explosion of overdrawn vitality, but a real all-round improvement of the body. Speed, endurance, explosiveness, muscle strength, all improved. ”
"All drivers will no longer be afraid of driving too short and pilots will no longer be afraid of too high loads. Even, if we feed a baby from childhood to adulthood with our specially customized potions, and then through scientific all-round exercise, a real Captain America can appear!"
"Oh...... Wait, man, what did you just say?" Suddenly Delony put his arm around Donovan's shoulder, "As you said, can you achieve the ??? of the immortal gene potion"
Donovan's eyes lit up: "That's a brilliant idea. BOSS, trust me. I definitely don't want this to be just an assumption. You reminded me that the United States has the most advanced medical and biological R&D capabilities in the world, as long as you have the budget! I believe that even if there is no immortal gene drug in the end. There are definitely genetic drugs that slow down aging!"
"OKOK, make money, I'll arrange financial money now! I'll go to Wall Street to raise money now, Donovan, I love you so much!" Delogney laughed heartily.
......
Welai took off again.
Directly wearing a personal flight uniform, Dragon's Blood Town flew to Yulin Airport, and then arrived in Beijing under the special plane arranged by the company.
On the tarmac, Xu Xiaoran had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as he saw Wei Lai, he followed Wei Lai into the Hongqi L5 prepared by the company in Beijing, and finally drove straight to the Four Seasons Hotel in Beijing to settle down.
In the car, Xu Xiaoran told Wei Lai about the unfinished things on the phone.
"We received news that the state is studying the issue of banning the export of Lingyuan batteries, and this matter came very suddenly and in a hurry, and we did not receive any news in advance. ”
"According to what we know so far, the reason for the ban on exports is simply to say that it is a national security factor. However, how can the power batteries of civilian vehicles be related to national security? There is no problem at all in our operation, and none of our customers are arms companies. ”
"According to the current company's research and judgment, if Lingyuan battery is really banned from export, the company's operation will have a major crisis. ”
"First: losing Tesla, a big customer, and losing foreign markets, our revenue will shrink significantly. ”
"Second: We are very worried about whether Tesla will continue to localize in China after losing the supply of Lingyuan batteries. If the export of localized Tesla is also banned at that time, it is very likely that Tesla will directly abandon us and seek alternatives. Once we lose the halo of Tesla's localized joint venture, the next financing will encounter a great crisis, and the valuation will be greatly reduced, which will bring a great test to our cash flow. ”
"Third: losing foreign markets, LG and Panasonic will reinvigorate. Our competitors are bound to eat up our market share by a large margin. ”
Wei Lai listened quietly, his right hand supporting his head on the armrest, his fingers tapping lightly on the door of his head, and said softly: "I probably guessed something. The incoming U.S. Commander-in-Chief is a political amateur who will go crazy with an America First strategy. It is likely that a trade war with China will follow. ”
"If this is the case: the company wants to increase the horsepower to export Lingyuan batteries, and we want to bundle our cooperative customers as much as possible. Only by getting closer to trade can we give full play to our technological advantages and gain enough negotiating advantages for the country in the trade war. ”
"But...... What if there are really national security considerations? I know that our batteries have a tenfold increase in energy storage density, and if it is really applied to the military, wouldn't it hit the muzzle of the gun?" Xu Xiaoran said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'll ask Yinshi over there. Wei Lai dialed Li Yinshi's phone: "How's the puffer fish project going?"
Puffer fish meat is delicious and nutritious, and it is the "crown of dishes", but its ovaries, liver, kidneys, eyes, and blood contain highly toxic poisons, and if they are not handled properly or eaten by mistake, they can be poisoned in light cases and die in severe cases.
Don't forget how Zhilai Technology was founded, which is to make battery management systems.
As for Li Yinshi, he is also a battery management system expert hired by a lot of money.
The United States has blocked Huawei, and Europe and the United States have accused Huawei of threatening national security.
If there really are American arms companies that misappropriate Tesla's power batteries to transform them into military weapons......
Then let what they say come true, and see what it means to dig a hole for you and leave a back door!
"Rest assured, BOSS, it's already ready!" Li Yinshi said confidently.
