When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

On the LCD instrument panel, one number stands out prominently.

15%
To be honest, even the boatman was a little surprised when he saw this number.

The performance of the Xuanwu battery is simply beyond imagination.

According to domestic custom, a product of 3 points quality is often exaggerated to 5 points, and a product of 7 points quality is exaggerated to 9 points.

Very few people will honestly describe their products.

They also put a lot of effort into advertising.

When designing this model, BYD's R&D department actually conducted tests.

Many of the data points are extremely impressive.

But this test is the first of its kind.

After all, the cost of a new energy vehicle that can travel more than 2,000 kilometers in one go, just for the Xuanwu battery alone, is enough to buy a luxury sedan.

Not to mention the technology BYD provides, as well as material costs and other expenses.

Looking at the car model, from a technical standpoint, it is definitely not a cheap car.

However, the people present were not paying attention to any of this at the moment.

No one expected that after traveling more than 2,300 kilometers, still in the north and in low temperatures, it would still have 15% battery left when it arrived at its destination.

Based on this driving data, the remaining battery power is more than enough to travel a few hundred kilometers more.

What is this concept?
This not only sets a new record for the range of new energy vehicles, but also signifies that as long as a new energy vehicle is equipped with the Xuanwu battery, there is no need to worry about range issues anymore.

At this moment, the flashbulbs of media reporters were constantly going off.

I took a picture of this car that drove day and night all the way from Tangdu City to Bingcheng.

It was like facing a triumphant general.

The boatman, who was being interviewed, made a bold and domineering declaration in front of the camera.

"From Tangdu City to Bingcheng, this journey represents a huge breakthrough for us in the automotive industry. The West's century-old technological hegemony is no match for the Xuanwu battery. The remaining 15% of the battery capacity is enough for our overseas partners to study until the centenary of the founding of the People's Republic of China!"

In the past, the boatman would never have said such a thing.

However, having personally witnessed the powerful performance of the Xuanwu Battery, he felt full of confidence and assurance.

If Xuanwu Battery has sufficient production capacity, it will be able to completely change the world's energy landscape.

Electricity is the mainstream energy source of this era.

Energy storage has always been a major issue.

Xuanwu batteries became the best solution.

Human society will rapidly enter a more prosperous era.

The test live stream has officially ended.

However, the consequences have already become apparent.

Countless people across the internet remember the name of this car and its incredibly powerful driving range.

As for the Xuanwu battery, it has become a product that is considered godlike by many.

Even Masla, who was far away overseas, didn't go to sleep and watched the entire live broadcast.

What this live stream revealed truly terrified him, a capitalist who had always looked down on Chinese new energy vehicle brands.

He could clearly see that the design of this car model had already broken away from China's own style.

The interior is understated yet full of design sense, and all functions are excellent.

As a consumer, it's hard to resist a car like this.

Not to mention its impressive driving range.

Especially the boatman's last words, which sounded to him like they were directed at him.

Tesla has reached a cooperation agreement with Shanghai to build a Gigafactory there, officially marking its entry into China.

This news has not yet been fully released in the media.

But given the boatman's status and position, it's impossible that he wouldn't know.

Therefore, this statement was entirely directed at himself.

indeed!

Tesla's 18650 batteries are not bad, but it depends on what they are compared to.

Compared to ternary lithium batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries, and BYD's blade battery technology, it is absolutely superior.

But compared to the Xuanwu Battery, it would be an insult to itself.

Tesla has just made up its mind to build a Gigafactory in China, hoping to gain a foothold in the Chinese market by leveraging its excellent industrial design capabilities and performance.

As a result, before construction even began, they were hit with this devastating blow.

However, Masla was no ordinary person.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have given up by now.

The odds of winning against BYD, which has both local and first-mover advantages, in China are extremely low.

But Masla didn't think that way.

This live stream actually solidified one of his ideas.

That is the new energy vehicle market, where Xuanwu Battery is number one.

Without securing a supply contract from Xuanwu Battery, it is assumed that the company has lost its eligibility to compete in this market.

Consumers are unlikely to buy a car with severely insufficient range.

Unless car brands using other batteries lower the price sufficiently.

Tesla certainly won't do that.

Therefore, the choice facing Masla is quite simple.

That means finding a way to secure a supply contract for Xuanwu batteries.

And now, there just happens to be a powerful ally.

That is the Magic City.

With the Xuanwu battery, Tesla doesn't need to launch a 2,000-kilometer version; it can just offer the normal 1,000-kilometer version. By setting the price at cost plus 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, it can easily capture the Chinese middle class.

Masla already understands it very well.

Although China is developing rapidly, this is only in science and engineering disciplines. In humanities and social sciences, it still lags far behind.

It's quite obvious that many people in China still hold onto unrealistic fantasies about the West. It was precisely through this survey that Masla discovered this, which ultimately led him to decide to build a super factory in Shanghai and enter the Chinese market.

The emergence of the Xuanwu battery only adds a slight inconvenience.

Thinking about it, Masla took out his phone and posted a message on a social media platform.

"Congratulations to the Chinese automotive brand BYD for completing the test of its new energy vehicles with a range of over 2,000 kilometers. The performance of Xuanwu batteries far exceeds the world's expectations. We look forward to cooperating with Galaxy Technology, this great young company, to use Xuanwu batteries to create better products and provide better services for consumers!"

……

the other side.

When Boatman Bro ended his live stream.

Wang Donglai's visit also attracted an unexpected guest.

Wu Qingsong, the general manager of Tangdu City.

The development of Tangdu City underwent tremendous changes long after Wang Donglai founded Galaxy Technology.

Many things from my past life never happened again.

After all, with Galaxy Technology as a coveted prize, Tangdu City had long become a coveted location for various parties.

If you stay here for two years, you can easily achieve a lot of political accomplishments thanks to the development of Galaxy Technology.

Under such circumstances, Wu Qingsong, who was able to be transferred to Tangdu City as the general manager, was naturally no ordinary person.

Because it was a surprise visit, Galaxy Technology was notified only after we arrived at the entrance of the R&D center.

Wu Qingsong was very approachable and did not request a grand reception. Instead, he asked Wang Donglai to show him around Galaxy Technology's R&D center.

Wang Donglai had no problem with it and then led Wu Qingsong on a tour.

"Mr. Wang, I heard that your R&D center spent 1.3 billion yuan just on purchasing R&D equipment?"

Wu Qingsong asked Wang Donglai in a casual tone.

"To be precise, including the research and development equipment, instruments, and consumables, this research and development center cost more than 1.385 billion yuan."

Wang Donglai was very familiar with these data and immediately recounted them.

"With nearly 1.4 billion yuan invested in R&D equipment, it's no wonder your company has been able to develop so many excellent products."

Wu Qingsong is no novice; the amount of money spent on just purchasing R&D equipment is probably unparalleled nationwide.

"You flatter me, sir."

Wang Donglai said modestly.

As they spoke, Wang Donglai led Wu Qingsong to an area and introduced it, saying, "Sir, this is our life and medicine research and development area. The projects we are currently working on are human gene analysis and deciphering, as well as drug development."

At this point, Wu Qingsong became interested and asked, "Were your company's Evergreen Liquid, Beauty Water, and Eye Evergreen developed here?"

"The outside world is very curious about your research and development efforts, and these products are indeed quite amazing."

Wang Dong smiled confidently and said, "Galaxy Technology's biological research and development center is not limited to Tangdu City. It has also set up some in other cities and has made a lot of contributions in the research and development process."

"In any case, these two products alone are enough to demonstrate your company's capabilities in biological research and development."

After saying that, Wu Qingsong changed the subject and brought up what Wang Dong had just mentioned: "Human gene analysis and deciphering, is this a new project of your company? And what about the new drug development you mentioned, could you tell me about it?"

Wang Donglai wasn't worried that Wu Qingsong would leak the secret if he found out, so he said, "Human gene analysis and decryption isn't exactly cutting-edge research. Many laboratories around the world are doing this, mainly because we know too little about ourselves."

"Although we have been able to go into space, we still cannot fully understand why we need to sleep, why we humans catch colds, there are just too many mysteries of the human body."

"Genes carry so much information. If we can decipher genetic information, I believe human society will enter a new era."

"Who knows, by that time, through gene modification, everyone will be able to obtain the most perfect body, and so on."

"Of course, this is just my wishful thinking, or rather, my delusion."

"As for new drug development, this is something we have been doing all along. With the help of artificial intelligence technology, we can save a lot of research and development work."

“The value brought by the development of a new drug is enormous. As Galaxy Technology has grown to this scale, it naturally has to shoulder some responsibilities.”

Wu Qingsong listened quietly, nodded, and didn't say anything more.

Then, Wang Donglai accompanied Wu Qingsong to visit each of the places.

"Boss, this is our battery R&D center, which is specifically responsible for improving battery charging and discharging technology, that is, fast charging technology. We hope to develop a super fast charging technology that can fully charge 100 kilowatts in half an hour, or even faster."

"..."

"Sir, this is our aerospace materials laboratory. Through experiments on the space station, taking advantage of the unique environment, we have initially synthesized several special materials. We are currently continuously adjusting the proportions, hoping to develop a material formula with even better metallic properties..."

"..."

"Boss, this is my experimental area. We are currently working on the lithography factory project, specifically the development of the lighting system and mask stage."

It took Wang Donglai more than an hour to lead Wu Qingsong on a tour of the entire R&D center.

Except for the key technologies and R&D personnel that were not shown, Wang Donglai said everything that could be said.

Wu Qingsong could also sense Wang Donglai's sincerity, and his expression became increasingly serious.

After returning to the reception room and closing the door...

Wu Qingsong lit a cigarette without regard for his image, remained silent for a while, and then spoke through the swirling smoke: "President Wang, actually, the purpose of my visit today is not to tour this R&D center."

Wang Donglai remained extremely calm and said, "Boss, I understand."

"The higher-ups are very optimistic about the Xuanwu Battery project, but the performance of Xuanwu Battery is too amazing."

"It will profoundly change the entire society, every aspect of it, from TV remotes to new energy vehicles, wherever batteries are used, everything will be reshaped."

"It's not just these aspects; it has had a chain reaction on the power grid, on wind power generation on the grasslands, on coal in Xishan Province, and on many other aspects."

"It even has a significant impact on our oil."

"Imagine if new energy vehicles become widespread, easily achieving a range of thousands of kilometers and consuming hundreds of kilowatt-hours of electricity. What would happen to the hundreds of thousands of gas stations scattered across the country?"

"There are many things that must be taken into account."

"The province and we have always been under tremendous pressure."

"We know that Galaxy Technology is a high-tech company that wants to use technology to promote social development, bring about changes in technological development to more people, and allow more people to enjoy the convenience brought by technology."

"However, the world is not that simple."

"It's not black and white; there's gray."

When Wang Donglai heard this, he frowned slightly, interrupted Wu Qingsong, and asked, "Boss, I know all this. Is there anything you want to say to me today?"

Wu Qingsong sighed softly and said, "I remember you said you wanted all employees to own shares. Did you really mean that?"

A smile appeared on Wang Donglai's face as he said, "Of course it's true!" (End of Chapter)
