Black technology: starting from ten thousand times faster

Chapter 204 The End of Hope Is Despair
Asmail ran around in the Dragon Country, but bumped into walls again and again, and the news that he was rejected by the chip manufacturer in the Dragon Country spread out for some reason.

This not only allows everyone to see the change of ASML's market position, but also allows everyone to see the powerful deterrent power of Apocalypse Technology.

And all this caused ASML's share price to continue to plummet within a few days.

Just less than half a month later.

As various international chip manufacturers successively announced that they had reached procurement cooperation agreements with Apocalypse Technology, the stock price of ASML finally stabilized and entered the third round of sharp decline.

Compared with a month ago, ASML's stock price fell by more than half.

The market value has evaporated by 400 billion Eagles!

Close to one trillion dragon coins!

Even though the competition between ASM and Apocalypse Technology has just begun, in people's minds, ASM has already become second-rate.

And Apocalypse Technology is the new king.

In addition, the news that several executives of ASML directly took the blame and resigned also caused a small commotion in the industry.

At this time, Su Xin didn't pay attention to these things. He handed over all the operation and production issues of Tianqixin Technology to Jing Mingdong as early as the release of Tianke No. [-].

Among them, the planning of the production line is as early as the lithography machine is about to be completed, and before the recruitment of engineers, each component supply company is required to expand production capacity and free up corresponding production lines.

With such an overall planning capability, coupled with the perfect cooperation of various component suppliers, Tianke No. [-] has an annual production capacity of about [-] units from the very beginning.

The only shortcoming is the engineer.

But as they become more and more experienced, and with Su Xin's irregular guidance, they must complete the assembly and debugging of [-] Tianke No. [-] in the first year, and the problem should not be too big.

And after.

These 360 ​​engineers can continue to lead and train more talents, allowing the entire team to expand and improve in a fissile manner.

From the second year, Apocalypse Technology is sure to occupy most of the cutting-edge markets.

In short, Apocalypse Technology is already on the right track, and Su Xin doesn't need to worry about it.

At this time, he focused his energy on cancer-killing drugs and chip design.

Especially the former.

……

Beer Country, inside the New Energy Joint Laboratory.

More than [-] executives from major car companies around the world gathered in front of a test bench, looking intently at a flat square metal-like substance on the stage, and various wiring harnesses and instruments connected to it.

A man in a white lab coat stood in front of the stage, pointed to the data on a display screen, and introduced to everyone:
"Its energy density is 350Wh/kg, although it is still about [-]% lower than Raytheon batteries, but the difference is not too big."

"The conductivity efficiency is also 15.00% lower than that of Raytheon batteries, which means the charging speed is slightly slower."

"In addition, the energy volume density, safety, service life, low temperature and high temperature stability are not worse than Raytheon batteries."

"We tentatively named it—"

"Zeus all-solid-state battery!"

"it is good!"

Everyone present gave him applause.

Although the performance is slightly worse than that of Raytheon batteries, as long as it is a solid-state battery and completely solves several core problems of liquid batteries, it has the possibility of competing with Raytheon batteries.

Especially in the local market, there is a gap in tariffs, coupled with the support of local policies, it should not be a big problem to defeat Longguo Auto.

This made everyone present extremely excited.

For more than a year, Longguo Automobile has conquered cities and territories all over the world. Its sales have broken through history again and again, and its brand awareness has become higher and higher.

Up to now, car companies such as Junma no longer talk about advantages such as brands.

Because now in the world, only Longguo's major car brands can represent high-end.

And all of this is due to the gap between Thor's battery and Xiaozhi's driving system.

The former equalizes tariff costs.

The latter artificially creates a gap.

Now that I have developed the Zeus battery by myself, I no longer need to rely on the breath of Apocalypse Energy, and I don’t need to be treated differently by Apocalypse Energy. The cost is better controlled, and I will be able to win the local market first through dislocation competition.

If it continues to optimize in the future and develops an upgraded version of the Zeus battery, it can in turn suppress all Longguo car companies that use Thor batteries and win back its original market position.

In short, with the Zeus battery, the nine major car companies will completely get rid of the shackles and have unlimited possibilities again.

The future looks bright!
It is worth mentioning that this new energy joint laboratory is led by Junma Automobile and jointly established by eight top car companies from all over the world.

Everyone has invested a lot of money, together with the R&D personnel and technical patents of each company, as well as the continuous employment of many top experts in the industry, this laboratory directly has an extremely rich heritage.

A few months ago, Lattes, a state-owned car company in Yingjiang, who originally rejected their invitation, also applied to join the new energy laboratory as a partner after experiencing setbacks.

After many rounds of discussions, Lattes successfully joined as the ninth partner with a capital of up to 10 billion Eagles, as well as various related patented technologies and R&D personnel.

Lattes is also worthy of being the leading company in the original new energy track. With their participation, the new energy laboratory can be called even more powerful.

now.

The new energy laboratory finally produced results.

The founder of the joint laboratory and the president of Junma Motors, Craig couldn't stop the smile on his face, and looked at the other executives around him.

"Everyone, now that we have new solid-state batteries, our development strategy will undergo a major adjustment. Why don't you all discuss together how to defeat the monopoly of Raytheon batteries?"

Another laughed:
"Thor's battery is still very strong, which puts a lot of pressure on us. We have to continue to cooperate in order to develop better."

Craig looked at Nusk, the president of Lattes, on the other side, and said with a smile:

"Nusc, I said at the beginning that only by uniting can we have a future, so you shouldn't be disappointed now, right?"

Nusk shrugged and said with a smile: "Okay, well, I was too short-sighted and almost missed the best chance to rise again. I should thank you and treat you to dinner later. I heard that there is a restaurant nearby. The foie gras was very good.”

Craig laughed.

Everyone turned around and walked out. Krech suddenly turned around and exhorted the man in the white lab coat:
"The news about the Zeus battery is kept secret for the time being, remember to tell all researchers."

"I see."

The man nodded seriously.

After Craig and his team left, they sat down in a spacious conference room to discuss the mass production of Zeus batteries.

"Due to the continuous mass production of Raytheon batteries, the production chain of solid-state batteries has been cultivated very well. Whether it is equipment or materials, we can buy them directly."

"There is no problem with the production line, and the production process only needs to be discussed and tested for a period of time."

"It saved us a lot of trouble."

"Even if mass production has just started, the production cost should not be much higher than that of Raytheon batteries."

"Combined with import tariffs, we will have a much stronger price advantage than Longguo automakers in our respective home markets."

"So, I suggest that we all start with the home market and take back the market step by step."

"Then let's build factories simultaneously in our respective countries. Next, let's discuss the issue of continuing capital injection. The money in the account of the new energy company is definitely not enough to build so many factories at the same time."

The nine major car companies are all shareholders of Xinneng Company, and Xinneng Lab belongs to Xinneng Company, and the patent rights of the products developed naturally belong to Xinneng Company.

The factory was also built under the name of Xinneng Company.

At this time, one of them asked:
"By the way, do you need to hold a press conference regarding the launch of the Zeus battery?"

Craig shook his head:
"just forget it."

"Although it can boost market confidence, if Su Xin is afraid of our competitive pressure and directly cuts off the supply of Thor batteries to us before Zeus batteries are mass-produced, it will be a big trouble."

"It's still waiting for the factory to be built and ready to start mass production, and then we will release it directly to the outside world."

"At that time, even if the supply of Thor's battery is cut off, we can use our own Zeus battery to relay."

Several other people thought about it, and agreed with his opinion. They decided to keep it secret for the time being, and first injected capital together to build twelve factories directly to supply Zeus batteries for nine car companies.

According to the annual production capacity of each factory of 30GWh, the total is 360GWh.

That is 3.6 million kilowatt-hours of electricity.

Calculated on the basis of an average of 60 kWh per battery, it can supply 600 million vehicles.

Based on the current sales volume of the nine car companies, this production capacity is almost sufficient.

And the most important thing is that the nine major car companies really can't spend more money to build factories.

The budget of these twelve battery factories alone has reached more than 50 billion yuan.

Converted to 360 billion dragon coins.

Even if it is shared equally among nine car companies and does not need to be taken out at one time, it is very difficult given their current operating conditions and financial conditions.

But thinking of the bright future that Zeus batteries can bring, the nine major car companies gritted their teeth, and finally decisively injected capital into Xinneng.

then.

Without attracting the attention of the outside world, construction of twelve large-scale power battery factories has started in full swing in the beer country and other places.

In order to get rid of Raytheon batteries as soon as possible, the nine major car companies continue to improve their progress.

……

Time passed quietly.

In a blink of an eye, it was September.

Beer Country, in a premium private room of a five-star hotel.

Craig and others gathered together again.

"Everyone, tomorrow is the official press conference of the Zeus battery. This is our first step to get rid of Apocalypse Energy, and it is also our first step towards glory again."

"It's all thanks to all of us!"

Craig raised his wine glass, looked at everyone present with a smile on his face, and said softly:

"Let's toast to new beginnings!"

At present, twelve power battery factories located around the world under the name of Xinneng Company have been completed, various production line equipment has been procured, and employees have also begun to be recruited.

In order to buy as much time as possible, they are not planning to hold the official launch of the Zeus battery until this time.

As long as tomorrow's press conference is over, they can directly hold the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of major power battery factories.

Then trial production, research process, prepare for mass production of Zeus batteries, and release various new models equipped with Zeus batteries.

Even if Apocalypse Energy really cut off the supply to them, the previous orders must continue to be delivered, enough for them to stabilize production for two or three months.

They are able to transition smoothly.

Therefore, it was not until today that the high-level executives of the nine major car companies gathered together to hold a simple celebration banquet first.

Others also raised their glasses.

"cheers!"

Everyone had big smiles on their faces.

But when the atmosphere was full of joy and enthusiasm, a figure suddenly pushed open the door of the private room and rushed in with big strides.

Before everyone could get angry, the man hurriedly said:

"It's not good, Apocalypse Energy Company's official website has released an announcement that they have developed a new generation of Raytheon batteries, which will be launched in two months!"

"what?!!"

Everyone present was shocked.

Craig put down his wine glass, and some of the dark red wine in the glass accidentally spilled onto the back of his hand and trouser legs, but he didn't notice it.

Looking at his competent subordinate, he didn't care about the other party's rudeness, and asked quickly:

"What's going on? How about the various parameters of the new generation of Raytheon batteries?"

The young blond man who rushed in took a breath and said:
"The performance has been improved in an all-round way, the energy density has increased by [-]%, the charging speed has increased by [-]%, but the price has not changed at all..."

Listening to his words, Craig was completely stunned, and didn't listen to a word after that.

It took them so long and at such a high cost to develop a solid-state battery that is slightly inferior to Thor's battery.

They almost hollowed out the company's wealth, injected more capital, worked overtime, and finally built twelve power battery factories.

For Zeus batteries, the nine major car companies have exhausted all their resources.

Just the day before they were going to release it officially, Apocalypse Energy Company also released an upgraded version of the Raytheon battery.

Originally, Raytheon batteries were obviously stronger than Zeus batteries, but the gap was not particularly large. Only by relying on the price advantages brought about by tariffs and other aspects, they had the opportunity to compete in a wrong place.

In the past, such a competitive plan would definitely be scoffed at by the nine major car companies.

But now, they have suffered setbacks and blows, let go of their inner arrogance, and decided to condescend to compete mainly on the price advantage.

But even so.

Apocalypse Energy does not give them a chance!
To release an upgraded version of the Thor battery at this time, and the performance improvement is so exaggerated, it is a dimensionality reduction blow to their upcoming Zeus battery.

Among other things, with such a large energy density gap, the Zeus battery has no competitiveness at all in front of the upgraded Thor battery.

With the same weight and volume, the upgraded Raytheon battery has twice as much power as them!
Or conversely, with the same amount of power, the upgraded Raytheon battery is only half the volume and half the weight, which will bring many hidden advantages to the Raytheon battery.

Key prices have not changed.

This made the Zeus battery a backward product as soon as it was launched, which also meant that all their investment during this period was almost wasted.

"It's over! We're all over!"

The thought flashed through Crane's mind.

Immediately, his eyes went dark, a mouthful of blood suddenly spewed out, and he fell backwards.
