When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student
Chapter 670 The Unlucky Prince Ning, the Invitation
May.
A message suddenly circulated online.
Galaxy Technology announced the successful commercialization of its semi-solid-state battery technology, which significantly reduces costs and enables large-scale commercial use.
In addition to this news, there is also a lot of test data, etc.
When the news first came out, everyone thought it was fake.
However, as more and more detailed information is revealed.
From Wang Donglai's development of lithium-sulfur batteries to semi-solid-state batteries, and then to their large-scale practical application.
The research and development process is clearly visible and highly authentic.
In today's online world, anything bearing the name "Galaxy Technology" is a code to online traffic.
Therefore, the news quickly spread across the entire internet.
What is a semi-solid-state battery? Why is it semi-solid-state? Can't it be solid-state or liquid-state? What's the difference?
"Could you please watch some science videos before commenting? You don't even understand semi-solid-state batteries, yet you dare to come here!"
"To be honest, Wang Shen's achievements are beyond the reach of an undergraduate; at the very least, one would need to be at the level of a graduate student. And that's just the first hurdle."
"Galaxy Technology is truly amazing. With this technological breakthrough, everyone will benefit and no longer have to worry about phone battery life."
"It's not just about phone battery life; Galaxy Technology's drones could probably be cheaper as well."
"Seriously, who are the geniuses at Galaxy Technology? How come they can always come up with so many cutting-edge technologies? It's simply outrageous!"
"I heard that Wang Donglai is the strongest scientist at Galaxy Technology. He has tackled most of the core technologies. The entire R&D center is just Wang Donglai's assistant, doing some supporting work."
"Last month, Galaxy Technology developed the HarmonyOS system, and this month they've developed this technology again. It seems Galaxy Technology is really going to defy the heavens!"
"Don't forget, Galaxy Technologies also plans to explore the moon and send men to the moon. Isn't that even more outrageous!"
"It's strange, but I wouldn't take these things seriously if they happened to other people. But I have more confidence in Galaxy Technology. Even if you told me next month that Galaxy Technology had successfully completed the lunar exploration, I wouldn't be surprised."
"Why isn't Galaxy Technology listed yet? If it does, we can take advantage of this opportunity and make a fortune in the stock market."
"With the successful development of the HarmonyOS system and Xuanwu battery at Galaxy Technology, the R&D team received a team bonus of 100 million yuan, which was split equally among the team members!"
"If new energy vehicles were to utilize this technology, wouldn't their range be dramatically increased?"
"I wonder how much Galaxy Technology will price this technology?"
Netizens immediately started discussing it out of curiosity.
Some netizens, just watching the spectacle, directly tagged numerous domestic brands.
For example, companies like Xiaomi, Chrysanthemum, Dajiang, and BYD.
They all mean the same thing: they want them to use the new batteries developed by Galaxy Technology.
After watching numerous science videos online, they understood the power of this Xuanwu battery.
The battery has high energy density, fast charging speed, strong safety, and good adaptability.
This is simply a perfect battery.
When applied to smartphones, the effect will be extremely noticeable. Previously, they needed to be charged twice a day, but after replacing them with Xuanwu batteries, they only need to be charged once.
The battery life of drones and new energy vehicles will also become longer.
When this news came out.
Many of the brands mentioned by netizens have remained strangely silent.
They did not speak out proactively, nor did they contact Galaxy Technology.
Especially many domestic smartphone brands.
CATL headquarters.
As a former leader in China's lithium battery industry, CATL's batteries accounted for more than half of the domestic market, and this market share continues to grow over time.
Looking across the country, only BYD can barely be considered a competitor.
However, when Galaxy Technology entered the energy battery industry, CATL's world collapsed.
Originally, they viewed this industry as a high-investment, high-risk field with a large number of technological patents holding a dominant position.
It is virtually impossible to catch up with them.
But who could have imagined that Galaxy Technology would act unpredictably?
Upon entering the market, they immediately developed a lithium-sulfur battery with superior performance, delivering a satisfactory result.
If that were all, CATL wouldn't consider Galaxy Technology a competitor.
However, in less than a year, Wang Donglai had already mastered the semi-solid-state battery and was able to produce it at a relatively high cost.
This puts CATL in a difficult position.
Although the cost of the semi-solid-state battery developed by Galaxy Technology is high, it is still profitable if it is used in a high-end product, considering its performance.
High-end products are all about style and class.
The ability to incorporate state-of-the-art semi-solid-state batteries can also attract some customers.
After failing to purchase the patents, CATL opted to partner with Galaxy Technologies as a second choice.
There are many purposes for cooperation, the primary one being to ensure that one's industry position is not affected.
Secondly, they want to collaborate to better poach talent from Galaxy Technologies and imitate its technology.
Finally, they wanted to bind Galaxy Technology to their partnership.
However, to CATL's surprise, after incurring huge costs, they learned that the key technology was developed by Wang Dong.
In this way, CATL's idea of mastering the technology by poaching talent failed.
After all, they couldn't possibly poach Wang Donglai.
"Chairman, this is an invitation letter from Galaxy Technology!"
The secretary knocked on the door and entered the chairman's office, saying the following to Zeng Qun.
Inside the office, Zeng Qun was not alone; Ning Wang's chief engineer Zhou Chao and other high-ranking officials were also present.
"Invitation card?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Zeng Qun's eyes before he opened the invitation.
After quickly reading through the invitation, he looked up at the others who were curious and said, "Wang Donglai invited me to attend a meeting in Tangdu, but he didn't say what the purpose was."
Without hesitation, Zhou Chao said, "Is that even a question? They're definitely planning to make money using this technology."
Zeng Qun nodded in agreement and said, "From a business perspective, if Galaxy Technology's Xuanwu battery performance is really as good as the test data that has been circulating, the entire international battery industry will be affected."
"Previously, the cost of semi-solid batteries was too high, limiting their applications."
"Now they've lowered the cost without significantly impacting performance. That's truly enviable technology!" "Mr. Zhou, what technical means do you think Galaxy Technology used to achieve this?"
Zeng Qun was extremely curious and couldn't figure it out at all.
Even now, they still can't completely replicate the semi-solid-state battery that Galaxy Technology launched.
Although they have reached a cooperation agreement with Galaxy Technology and learned many of its secrets.
The more I learned, the more shocked and confused I became.
Zhou Chao frowned and thought for a while before saying, "I don't have many clues either."
"From a practical theoretical point of view, such materials and technology should not exist at all."
"But Galaxy Technology happens to be able to produce such products."
"It's like a product that's been opened from a black box."
"Not to mention me, even a significant portion of the R&D staff within Galaxy Technology don't understand it."
“Sometimes, I even suspect that Galaxy Technology has tampered with the test data, but we have conducted many tests and evaluations, and the data clearly shows that there is no problem.”
"The most scientific explanation is that Galaxy Technology has mastered a technology that can penetrate deep into the interior of molecules and change their properties, thus developing such a technology."
Zhou Chao had no idea that his guess was very close to the truth.
The amazing skills and passive abilities that Wang Donglai acquired from the system can actually be explained using scientific knowledge.
Just like a memory palace, it's nothing more than the storage and application of brain nerve cells.
The phrases "reading ten lines at a glance" and "having a photographic memory" are quite similar.
Wang Donglai's acquisition of the "Midas Touch" and "Alchemy" is actually a technique that achieves the desired effect by changing the molecular properties and characteristics of an object.
Humanity's current understanding and observation of the microscopic world is limited to the level of quarks.
This only means recognizing quarks as a substance; we are still far from controlling them.
The development of solid-state batteries has long been a consensus in the academic community.
Once a suitable material can be found, building a battery will be a breeze.
Although it's called the energy battery major, it's actually just an application of materials science.
Since Wang Donglai didn't say it, naturally no one could have guessed the truth.
Therefore, upon hearing Zhou Chao's words, Zeng Qun sighed in disappointment.
"I originally thought that cooperating with Galaxy Technology would buy us some more time, but now it seems impossible."
"This battery is almost the same as the experimental version we are still working on in the lab."
"However, it can be commercially deployed on a large scale, with low cost and mature and reliable technology."
"Once it's widely available, our market will disappear quickly."
"Gentlemen, it is no exaggeration to say that we have now reached a critical moment of life and death."
"Every choice we make at this moment will affect the fate of the company, as well as our own."
"So, please feel free to voice any opinions you may have!"
Zeng Qun took a deep breath and said this to everyone in a serious tone.
Upon hearing Zeng Qun's words, Zhou Chao was the first to speak: "I believe there is only one path before us now, and that is to obtain the technology license as soon as possible, at all costs."
"As long as we obtain the technology license, we can survive; otherwise, we will only face a slow death."
"It's easy for you to say. We all know how valuable this technology is. How could Galaxy Technology possibly license it to us so easily?" One executive expressed his frustration.
“I have a solution, though it’s not a solution. After all, we’ve been developing for so many years and have so many employees. If we go bankrupt all of a sudden, it will greatly affect the employment environment. The higher-ups definitely don’t want to see that happen. Could we talk to them and ask them to talk to Tangdu and see if we can reach some cooperation? Even if we have to give up a lot of profits, as long as we can save the company.”
One of the executives' eyes lit up, and he immediately had an idea, speaking up as he did so.
"Galaxy Technology possesses too many technologies, too advanced, and too important. The higher-ups certainly won't let a private company operate independently. Now, with the emergence of the Xuanwu Battery, if we actively lobby the higher-ups, it might not be impossible!"
Another executive shared his thoughts.
Zeng Qun listened to everyone's thoughts and sighed inwardly.
"Alright, there's no point in saying anything more here."
"You can try the methods you just mentioned, but don't have too high hopes."
"Since Galaxy Technology has sent us an invitation, we'll attend the conference first and then we'll talk about it later."
"Perhaps things will take a turn for the better!"
“Galaxy Technology launched the HarmonyOS system last month, and as a result, many domestic manufacturers joined forces to take the opportunity to raise prices.”
"It's not easy to get HarmonyOS installed on smartphones in China, and for major internet software companies to develop their own versions of HarmonyOS. Even with the help of government resources, it might not be possible."
"Now that Galaxy Technology has come up with this Xuanwu Battery, things may not go smoothly."
"Sometimes, in this world, good products and excellent technology are not enough to dominate the market."
Zeng Qun spoke out to explain because he was worried that these executives would lose confidence in the company's development.
Especially at times like these, he needs to remain confident and calm.
Moreover, everything he just said is true.
Galaxy Technology wants to launch the HarmonyOS system, and if we push it forward a few more years, the chances are still very high.
At that time, the domestic smartphone market was still growing rapidly, with a wide variety of smartphone brands.
Even mobile phone operating systems come in many varieties.
However, by this time, only Android and iOS remained; even Windows had not been successfully developed.
It's simply impossible for HarmonyOS to defy the odds and rise to prominence at this time.
Therefore, domestic smartphone brands have reached a tacit agreement.
Do not use the HarmonyOS system!
We're just waiting for Galaxy Technology to come knocking on our door to discuss cooperation, then we'll raise our butcher's knife and rip them off!
Originally, Zeng Qun wanted to watch the show and see how things would develop.
Is Galaxy Technology being forced to bleed itself dry, or is it painfully abandoning the HarmonyOS system, or is it forging a new path?
But unexpectedly, an accident happened to him.
The Xuanwu Battery has emerged!
Therefore, Zeng Qun was filled with mixed feelings at this moment, a complex emotion that was hard to describe.
However, having been forced to this point, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and bear it.
Fortunately, Zeng Qun's authority as the founder remained intact. After he spoke, everyone gradually calmed down and their fighting spirit and hope were rekindled. (End of Chapter)
