However, although Lin Chen chose a ternary lithium battery, Lin Chen also decided not to take the big pit that Daxia had traveled in his previous life.

After all, as a practitioner in his previous life, Lin Chen knew that Daxia's electric vehicle industry had eaten the pit of soaring lithium mines and the pit of ternary lithium batteries.

As for the pitfalls of ternary lithium batteries?

Ternary lithium battery, as the name suggests, is a cathode material composed of three elements: nickel, cobalt and manganese.

The prices of all three elements have skyrocketed, with the already scarce cobalt ore soaring the most.

In the previous life, the price of cobalt in a ternary lithium battery accounted for 40% of the total cost, and it can be said that the global bitter "cobalt" has been suffering for a long time.

Therefore, Lin Chen's research and development of ternary lithium batteries, it is first necessary to avoid the element of cobalt and develop cobalt-free ternary lithium batteries.

As for whether it can be done, it can be done.

After all, cobalt itself does not participate in electrochemical reactions, its role is to provide a layered structure that stabilizes the material, which can improve the cycling and rate performance of the material.

Lin Chen, who has a virtual laboratory, can replace the role of cobalt with clever design or use other things to create a cobalt-free and safe ternary lithium battery.

After that, the pit is the scarcity of lithium resources, which leads to the price skyrocketing to an unreasonable level.

In the previous life, there were overseas unscrupulous businessmen who deliberately raised the price of lithium, causing the global price of lithium batteries to skyrocket.

This time, Lin Chen decided to prepare in advance and set up a research and development team of fully automated refining equipment for lithium extraction from salt lake brine.

After all, the domestic lithium mines are mainly salt lake brine, and if you want to prevent the price of lithium from soaring to an unacceptable level like in the previous life, you must be able to produce lithium resources by yourself, at least to meet the needs of Shuguang Technology.

In this way, the price of lithium has been reduced, and it is the most reasonable arrangement for domestic self-production and large purchase of lithium metal abroad.

Among them, Sugon Technology may be able to buy a few lithium mines and directly build a self-sufficient closed loop of lithium resource industry chain.

On the other hand, people at this time obviously didn't know what Lin Chen was thinking in his heart.

They saw that Lin Chen suddenly stopped after saying a word, and did not interrupt Lin Chen's thoughts, but waited quietly for Lin Chen.

And Lin Chen was not as surprised by them, Lin Chen just paused and quickly came back to his senses, and then said:

"If we want to develop a home robot, I will fully participate in the project, after all, the materials and high-energy lithium batteries obtained from the research and development can make us a lot of profits.

In addition, we also need to establish a project to develop fully autonomous electric vehicles, because once we have successfully developed high-energy lithium batteries, it will not be difficult to make fully autonomous electric vehicles.

Daxia is a country with scarce oil, and overseas oil has long accounted for more than 70%.

It can be said that if the overseas oil supply is cut off, then 70% of our vehicles will be forced to stop running, and the whole country will naturally be in chaos. ”

Hearing Lin Chen's words, the people at the scene couldn't help but look solemn.

After all, what Lin Chen said is indeed true, Daxia does rely on imports for 70% of its oil, and if Daxia can't purchase oil, it will be a disaster.

"I agreed to develop an electric car, after all, 70% of the oil lifeblood of the car is in the hands of overseas, which is really scary."

Ni Guangnan, head of the Shuguang R&D Center, expressed his views.

Hearing this, Lu Weibing, the person in charge of Shuguang Construction on the other side, also spoke in agreement:

"Indeed, our energy lifeline cannot be mastered overseas, anyway, electric vehicles have been developed, and it should not be a problem to apply them to engineering robots in the future.

If this can be done, then our construction costs will be greatly reduced, after all, the biggest cost of using engineering robots is fuel costs. ”

Hearing Lu Weibing's words, Li Qianqiang, the sales director of Shuguang Technology, seemed to think of something, and then said with an unhappy face:

"Speaking of which, the pure compression-ignition gasoline engine we developed has really changed the world, directly reducing the gasoline consumption of global cars by half.

But in fact, the pure compression-ignition gasoline engine we invented did not benefit the people of the world as much as imagined, because although the oil consumption was reduced by half.

But those damn oil companies have done the despicable act of cutting oil production and then raising prices, and we have succeeded in reducing oil consumption.

However, the actual price of gasoline has only decreased by 20% compared with before, and the highest is less than 30%, and the goal of halving the price of gasoline cannot be achieved at all! ”

Hearing Li Qianqiang's words, the presidents at the scene all nodded slightly, after all, they are all people with cars, and they are naturally well aware of the changes in oil prices.

It can only be said that ginger is still old and spicy, do you think that you can reduce global oil prices by developing a pure compression-ignition gasoline engine that can reduce fuel consumption by more than half?

In fact, the petrol giants will tell you not to think too much about it, and they just shut down half of the oil production and make your dreams come to naught.

Of course, it cannot be said that Sugon Technology has not succeeded in changing the world, after all, the demand for oil has indeed been cut in half, which has led to the increase in the voice of many small oil companies.

After all, there is only so much demand, and it is true that your oil giants can drastically reduce their oil output, but other small and medium-sized oil companies also want to sell their own oil.

Therefore, after some turbulence in the market, the price of oil has dropped by an average of 20% compared with before, reaching 30% at the peak.

"I also agree to develop electric vehicles, after all, the cost of electricity is definitely lower than that of oil, which is a good thing for ordinary people."

Lin Bin, the person in charge of Rice Mobile, also expressed his opinion.

And then the scene also expressed their views one after another, and after that, it was about other issues.

In this meeting, Lin Chen made the decision to develop industrial robots, then apply industrial robots internally, and finally adopt a human-machine combination production model.

After that, Lin Chen also decided to establish a project to develop agricultural robots, wanting to solve the problem of rural farmland abandonment in the future.

In the end, Lin Chen decided to start to develop home robots and solve the material and energy problems on home robots.

It was also decided to develop electric vehicles, in which Lin Chen would occasionally go over to do guidance and research and development work, but Lin Chen's main task was still on the home robot.

So from today onwards, Lin Chen's task is to fully develop home robots, and then assist in the research and development of controllable nuclear fusion technology and fully autonomous electric vehicle technology.

As for other aspects of research, it is not what Lin Chen needs to do, now that there are so many scientific researchers and so many academicians in the Shuguang R&D Center, it is time to play their role.

If they can't do it, then don't blame Lin Chen for eliminating them out of the game.

After all, Shuguang Technology is already in the lead, and if they can't continue to maintain the lead by giving money at this time, then they can be out.
