Chapter 747 World's First New Energy Vehicle Equipped with Xuanwu Battery Undergoes Online Live

Bald Eagle Federation.

At Tesla headquarters, after Michael's accident, Masla immediately called Ginnar back.

He must have gone through so much to get to where he is now.

Although Michael's car accident was investigated by various parties, they all unanimously said it was an accident.

But Masla simply didn't believe it.

Because it's too much of a coincidence.

Just after Galaxy Technology released news about corporate espionage, Michael in Hong Kong was involved in this accidental car accident.

Sometimes, if something seems too coincidental, then it may not be a coincidence at all.

After calling Ginnar back, Masla learned of another piece of news.

I don't know how it came about.

Michael's experience was just a warning!
The source of the information is unknown and no one can confirm it.

But everyone who heard the news understood immediately.

Regardless of who said this, it represents a reality.

That is, trying to steal Galaxy Technology's Xuanwu Battery technology through underhanded means would be extremely dangerous.

After what happened with Michael, Masla had originally planned to abandon the idea of ​​using underhanded tactics.

Upon hearing this, I completely abandoned the idea.

If you can't beat it, then join.

Masla is fundamentally a businessman, not a politician.

So our first reaction was to cooperate with Galaxy Technology.

If the cost of Xuanwu batteries is too high, then we can reduce the scale and control the overall vehicle cost.

For example, the Xuanwu battery required for an 800-kilometer range is much smaller in size and lighter in weight compared to their self-developed 18650 battery.

These weight reductions and smaller sizes allow for more design flexibility in the new model, resulting in better handling.

In general, Galaxy Technology makes a lot of money selling Xuanwu batteries, but Tesla will not lose money either.

All of this is predicated on Tesla maintaining its top-selling position in the market and its sales not being affected.

After figuring all this out, Masla immediately made a decision.

If you want to communicate and cooperate with Galaxy Technology, you can certainly think of other ways.

For example, Shanghai, where an agreement was just reached.

...

Galaxy Technology.

Regarding the lithography factory project, the higher-ups actually regretted it somewhat; they shouldn't have exposed the project.

Because the lithography factory project has a real possibility of being implemented, it could also break the monopoly in the semiconductor field.

Exposing it so early is extremely detrimental to its future development.

After the chip manufacturing was successfully completed at the lithography factory's experimental plant, what happened was exactly as expected.

Although Wang Donglai has already developed core equipment and materials such as EDA design software and photoresist.

However, this does not mean that we have completely solved the technical difficulties in the field of photolithography.

Just like now, even with the nation's top talent gathered, we're still stuck on the lighting system.

Inside a lithography machine, the lighting system may seem insignificant, but it is actually very important.

It's fair to say that none of the technologies and materials used in lithography machines are simple.

It is the crown jewel of industrial technology, and this is no exaggeration.

Returning to the EUV lithography machine, extreme ultraviolet light imaging is used to achieve atomic-level smoothness, thereby ensuring lithography precision and energy efficiency.

Even slight problems with the mirror surface, such as protrusions, depressions, or incorrect dimensions, can cause severe scattering and diffraction of EUV light, leading to deviations in the direction of light propagation and ultimately misalignment of circuit patterns on the wafer.

The yield rate of the chips is alarmingly low.

And this is only on lithography machines; when it's expanded to lithography factories, the situation becomes even more complicated.

The precision remains the same, but because the scale is increased, the control accuracy increases exponentially.

Originally, domestic technology couldn't even complete the lighting system in a lithography machine to reach the international first-class level.

Now, it's being placed in a photolithography factory, which naturally makes it extremely difficult.

While it is true that previous lithography experimental plants have achieved success, this does not mean that they can be completely copied.

Wang Donglai has already opened the door to the relevant technologies.

The original idea was that with the top scientific research talent mobilized from across the country, the research and development should be able to continue.

As a result, they encountered problems every few days and then came to Wang Dong to solve them.

This is precisely why he spends so much time in the laboratory.

When faced with such technical difficulties, Wang Donglai usually resolves them immediately, no matter how much he talks about it.

After all, the technology of a lithography factory is still far beyond the current standards in China.

In fact, in order to complete the project sooner, he has simplified many technologies and lowered the required standards.

Now that things have come to this, he can only grit his teeth and persevere.

We can't let such a big project become a joke.

While he was carefully considering how to write the technical solutions for ion beam polishing and magnetron sputtering,

A phone call came in; it was from Shanghai.

I took the phone and exchanged a few brief words.

Wang Donglai put down his phone, a cold smile appearing on his face.

"Masla really has a good approach. He adapted to local customs so quickly, and he even thought of having Shanghai come to communicate with him."

With a sigh, Wang Donglai began to ponder.

Some of the previous corporate espionage activities were funded by Masla.

The purpose is obvious: to obtain the Xuanwu Battery.

In fact, it wasn't just Masla; through Wa's abilities, she had already identified all the individuals and organizations that coveted the Xuanwu Battery.

The number of people in China who are interested in Xuanwu batteries is no less than those overseas.

Michael's car accident served as a warning.

Judging from the results so far, it has proven to be quite effective.

Tesla has just reached an agreement with Shanghai to build a Gigafactory there and bring Tesla production lines to China.

Although the initial investment in Shanghai was substantial, as long as Tesla can maintain its strong market performance, this business can still be profitable.

The call I just received was from Shanghai, inviting Galaxy Technology to build the Xuanwu Battery Super Factory in Shanghai. They offered various preferential policies and would also help Galaxy Technology's Xuanwu Battery and Tesla establish a business partnership.

Wang Donglai did not reply on the phone, and naturally, such a matter could not be resolved directly over the phone.

A face-to-face meeting will definitely be held later.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Donglai made a decision.

He took out his phone and called the boatman.

"Masla is preparing to launch a new model using the Xuanwu battery, and time is running out for Mr. Wang." As soon as the call connected, Wang Donglai got straight to the point.

The boatman on the other end of the phone was startled upon hearing this.

In the field of new energy vehicles, Tesla is the leader. Before Galaxy Technology launched the Xuanwu Battery, Tesla had no rivals.

Even now, new energy vehicles equipped with Xuanwu batteries can only claim that their range is better than Tesla's 18650 batteries; they really can't say anything about other aspects.

Of course, no one will admit the difference to consumers.

Therefore, it's normal for the boatman to feel nervous after hearing what Wang Donglai said.

With Masla's capabilities, as long as he partners with Galaxy Technologies, he can successfully implement the technology in a very short time.

With the addition of the super factory in Shanghai, production has increased accordingly.

Tesla is very likely to take a significant share of the domestic new energy vehicle market.

Having figured all this out, the boatman no longer hesitated.

He immediately made a decision and said, "Mr. Wang, I have thought about your suggestion carefully after I came back. It is indeed a good idea, and I think we can give it a try."

"Alright, in that case, I'll postpone the meeting with Masla and let this live broadcast finish first."

"How about we set the date for three days from now?"

Wang Donglai decisively set a time, and although he was seeking opinions, his tone was firm, making it sound more like a notification.

Now that the boatman has made his decision, he won't hesitate any longer.

Upon hearing Wang Donglai set a time, he only thought about it for a moment before agreeing.

"Okay, then three days from now!"

...

Three days later, in Tangdu City.

The entrance to Galaxy Technology headquarters.

Numerous media outlets were on standby, ready to pounce.

A powerful and stylish SUV was parked here.

It was a BYD test vehicle.

Over the past three days, news that BYD's boatman brother would personally conduct the tests and measurements, and would be live-streaming the entire process, has spread across various platforms.

Even if BYD is criticized or ridiculed, the fact that its founder, Brother Chuanfu, a super-rich man with a net worth of hundreds of billions, personally drove the car and broadcast the entire process live is unprecedented.

Therefore, after the news was released, it immediately attracted the curiosity and attention of netizens across the internet.

Everyone wants to see what Boatman's live stream will be like this time.

Meanwhile, how far can this car equipped with the Xuanwu battery actually travel?

Will it be as advertised, directly increasing the range to over 1,000 kilometers, easily breaking previous electric vehicle records?

At ten o'clock, Boatman Brother and Wang Donglai appeared at the headquarters entrance.

Accompanying the boatman were pre-prepared technicians.

This test vehicle will be fully loaded with passengers for testing.

After all, weight is also one of the factors that can affect battery life.

At the same time, in order to ensure the best viewing experience for the live stream, the vehicle continued operating even when the staff was resting, so this range test did not use a fixed route.

Instead, they choose to decide, for example, the direction by live-streaming with netizens.

Keep driving until the car runs out of power and you have to stop.

The entire event will be streamed live without interruption.

Participants in this live test included not only representatives from major media platforms, but also representatives from numerous car brands.

When they learned that BYD had successfully applied the Xuanwu battery and was about to launch a model, they all panicked.

They have already seen the performance of the Xuanwu battery.

They could all guess what kind of impact it would have if applied to cars.

Not only does it offer long range, it also optimizes the car's interior space.

Air conditioning, refrigerator, and large sofa—these standard features can be incorporated in a more daring way.

The representatives of foreign car brands had a cold and aloof expression, while the representatives of domestic car brands had a very complex mix of emotions, including envy and jealousy.

Even some car brands that have already signed supply contracts with Galaxy Technology for Xuanwu batteries are in the same situation.

Due to the current production capacity of Xuanwu batteries, they actually can't get many products.

It will take at least six months before the goods are actually supplied.

Now that we see BYD poised to reap the first benefits from the Xuanwu battery, it's impossible not to feel envious and jealous.

"Crack!"

The flashbulbs kept going off, all focused on Wang Donglai and the boatman.

The invited media outlets had all done their homework.

Today's test will be of great significance.

Even though he was about to undergo an extremely difficult live-stream test, Boatman was in a very good mood, with a smile constantly on his face.

After the news broke, BYD's stock price rose significantly, and its market value increased by more than 10 billion.

This is before the test results are available.

Once the battery life test results are released and the excellent performance of the Xuanwu battery is fully proven, it is foreseeable that BYD's stock price will experience another surge.

Such a good thing naturally made the boatman happy, and a smile appeared on his face.

This live stream was naturally broadcast on Douyin.

The live stream room had already attracted hundreds of thousands of netizens from all over the country.

Most of these netizens are just people who enjoy themselves, but a considerable number are also people with ulterior motives.

"I don't believe the boatman would actually drive all the way down; he's definitely just putting on a show!"

"This car is so ugly. Only BYD has such taste. You could even say that domestic car brands are all garbage."

"The world's first new energy vehicle equipped with Xuanwu battery, what a boring gimmick. I really don't know what's so great about it. It's just a new battery."

"I never expected that BYD, with its thick eyebrows and big eyes, would start doing this kind of meaningless marketing."

"Where did those people upstairs come from? If you don't want to watch, leave. Don't spout sour things here."

"I believe in Galaxy Technology, I support Galaxy Technology, and Xuanwu Battery will definitely not let us down."

"I heard that Xuanwu batteries are very expensive, so they probably won't be much cheaper when used in cars. I estimate the starting price will be over 200,000 to 300,000 yuan."

"To buy an electric car at such an expensive price is absolutely insane. Aren't BBA (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi) better?"

"Only those who can't afford BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi (BBA) would think of spending 200,000 to 300,000 yuan to buy one. The truly wealthy would probably be embarrassed to go out if they didn't own a new energy vehicle in the future."

"What new energy vehicles? Aren't they just large four-wheel drive vehicles? What's so technologically advanced about them? They can't compete with engines and transmissions, so they give up and start working on new energy vehicles. What's the difference between this and burying your head in the sand?"

"I wonder how far this car can go. If it can really break through a thousand kilometers, that would be amazing."

"I did the math. A gasoline car uses at least six liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, which means the cost per kilometer is about four or five cents. But if you use electricity, based on household electricity usage, it would cost at most four cents per kilometer. The actual data would be even more different from my calculation."

"New energy vehicles have refrigerators, color TVs, and large sofas. If you want these things in a gasoline car, the price won't be cheap."

"I support domestically produced cars and new energy vehicles!" (End of Chapter)
