Hexagonal God

Chapter 440 The much-anticipated debate

After Su Mo said this, the comment section went wild.

After Yang Guangming took the stage, the popularity of Su Mo's live broadcast room reached a new high, reaching 200 million viewers!

One in seven people in the country were watching this live broadcast, which was a phenomenal event.

Among them, many netizens in Shanghai directly found out the hotels they were staying in.

"This is the decoration of the Shangri-La Hotel in Shanghai. It's a suite that costs 38888 per night. I believe they should be in the same room, because Professor Yang's salary level can't afford to stay in such a nice hotel."

"It's solid evidence, solid evidence. They colluded to frame me, Su Shen. They've been caught red-handed. There's no need for explanation."

"Today, I have a more intuitive understanding of the term 'wolf in cahoots'."

"Hahaha! Su Shen's eyes are really sharp. Let's see what else they have to say now."

Looking at the words on the floating screen, Wang Nianming felt a little annoyed.

"Su Mo, stop talking about irrelevant things. After all, this matter involves me and Professor Yang. There's nothing wrong with us discussing it together. Just do what you need to do and stop dragging me down, okay?"

Yang Guangming's old face flushed red. He also wanted to say something like this, but he was not as thick-skinned as Wang Nianming. Now that he was found out, he really couldn't bring himself to deny it directly. It was so embarrassing.

Su Mo shrugged lightly, "Well, then I wish you two friends of different ages can have a pleasant discussion, and it would be best if you can have a drink and chat happily. Let's get down to business."

Professor Yang pushed his glasses and let out a long sigh.

Just get down to business, that's what he's good at.

Su Mo spoke up: "Professor Yang, before we get down to business, can I ask a question?"

"You said."

"The last time I was in Myanmar, I fought the kidnappers and, forced by the situation, killed several of them. As a result, you lashed out at me on Weibo for quite a while. Later, Focus Interview clarified the matter for me, and my lawyer filed an administrative lawsuit. Some of the people involved were punished, and some of those who lashed out at me apologized to me. But you don't seem to have apologized to me. Did you forget?"

Yang Guangming had been holding his energy for a long time, like a balloon about to burst, full of fighting spirit.

But Su Mo's words immediately calmed him down.

He mumbled incoherently, wanting to apologize but unable to speak.

Su Mo just smiled and said, "It seems that you forgot. You don't want to apologize to me now, so forget it. But I still want to remind you that if you wrongly accuse others in the future, remember to apologize to them. After all, you are a professor and a role model for others. It's not good to set a good example like this."

Yang Guangming's old face was burning with embarrassment. Being bullied by a young man was something he had never experienced before. If it was in his class, he would definitely let Su Mo get out.

But here, he didn't dare to do it at all. He wanted to apologize but couldn't bring himself to do it, and he felt embarrassed if he didn't apologize. It was so uncomfortable.

In the eyes of netizens, he looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, which caused another round of criticism.

Yang Guangming no longer dared to look at the screen while speaking, his eyes were all focused on Su Mo's face.

"Student Su Mo, we're here today to discuss new energy batteries. Could you please stop talking so much off-topic nonsense?"

Su Mo nodded gently: "Okay, then let's get started."

Yang Guangming straightened his back a little, as if he was ready to go into battle at any time.

At this time, Su Mo took out a book from the table, flipped it towards the camera, and showed everyone the location of the signature.

"This book was sent to me today by a kind fan. It discusses the battery issues of new energy electric vehicles. The author is Yang Guangming. I think that's you, Professor Yang, right?"

Yang Guangming nodded: "Yes, it's me."

"Okay, I've read quite a bit of the book, and it mainly talks about the pros and cons of lead-acid batteries, which are new energy sources. Is my summary correct?"

Yang Guangming nodded again. "That's roughly what I'm saying, but it breaks down into many different subjects and topics. It explains the significance of new energy electric vehicles from a macro perspective and their positive impact on the national economy. It touches on many issues, including import and export trade, oil resources, and even the RMB exchange rate. But I'm not sure you'll understand what I'm saying."

After Yang Guangming finished speaking, he unconsciously pushed his glasses up and his mood gradually improved.

In his domain, he is invincible.

Su Mo clapped his hands lightly. "That's right. Then I'd like to ask Professor Yang, do you think lead-acid batteries are the future of electric vehicles?" Yang Guangming smiled, his tone slightly sarcastic. "Student Su Mo, I guess you came to this conclusion after reading my book, but you overlooked one point. My book was published last summer, but I actually wrote it the year before last. Electric vehicle technology is developing rapidly now, and this book is already outdated. I have to regretfully tell you that lead-acid batteries cannot represent the future of electric vehicles. The future of electric vehicles belongs to lithium batteries."

At this point, Yang Guangming's face was full of pride. "It seems that you still don't know enough about me. In my class at Jiangsu University, I have already started explaining the development and prospects of lithium batteries. This course started two months ago. My students can testify to this."

Su Mo looked a little surprised: "The class started two months ago?"

"That's right. Actually, the school hasn't added a lithium battery course yet. Before the winter break, I briefly explained my personal understanding to the students. I don't blame you for not understanding it. After all, you're only in a second-tier university. How could you possibly be familiar with the courses at our 985 universities?"

His tone was full of sarcasm. At this moment, Yang Guangming took the initiative and displayed the arrogance of a professor to the fullest. In front of him, the student was just an ordinary student from a second-tier garbage college, not worth mentioning.

Facing Yang Guangming's arrogance, Su Mo smiled.

"In that case, let me ask Professor Yang, do you know much about lithium batteries?"

"Haha! I wouldn't say I'm proficient, but looking around the country, there are no more than a handful of people who can rival me."

"Then let me ask again, can the lithium batteries you mentioned solve the problem of low battery tolerance and rapid power loss in the cold natural conditions of northern my country?"

Yang Guangming answered without hesitation: "Lithium batteries are liquid batteries, and temperature will affect the chemical reactions inside the battery. The first point is that it slows down the chemical reactions. At zero degrees Celsius, the battery capacity will be reduced by 20%-40%."

"Secondly, the electrolyte changes. Under low temperature conditions, the liquid electrolyte inside the battery becomes viscous, restricting the movement of electrons and ions inside the battery, thereby increasing the battery's resistance."

"Third, the activity of the positive and negative electrode materials is reduced."

"Fourth, the electrolyte's electrical conductivity decreases."

"Fifth, the internal resistance of the battery increases..."

"Based on what I've said, lithium batteries are currently unable to perfectly cope with low-temperature environments. This is due to the climate, but they still have advantages over lead-acid batteries."

Su Mo clapped his hands again. "That makes sense. Then let me ask you again, can lithium batteries spontaneously combust?"

"Well, there is such a possibility. For example, internal short circuit, external short circuit, overcharging, high moisture content or extreme temperature can all lead to spontaneous combustion. However, this is a low-probability event and can be ignored."

Su Mo smiled and said, "But I remember Professor Yang said a few days ago that electric cars are garbage. You don't want to be burned to death in your car one day. How can it be ignored today?"

Hearing this, Yang Guangming laughed again: "Student Su Mo, I suggest you take a look at your eyes, or at least look carefully when you look at things. What I am saying is that domestic electric cars are garbage, because most of the phenomena you mentioned come from domestic electric cars. As we all know, our country has a strong productivity, but it is also a country of copycats. Many things are just imitations. I don't care about other things, but as an authority in this field, I must be responsible for the safety of the people's lives. Some irresponsible companies should be closed down!"

Having said that, there are not many floating screens and barrages in the live broadcast room.

Most people here favor Su Mo, but now it comes to Yang Guangming's professional field. He talks about a lot of technical issues. The audience doesn't quite understand what he is saying, but they can see that Su Mo is at a disadvantage.

This is not what everyone wants to see, and many people are worried about Su Mo.

Instead, some black fans took advantage of the situation and started saying some weird things.

Su Mo also knew about this situation, but he was not panicked at all, because this early stage was for Yang Guangming to show.

At this point, Su Mo changed the subject.

"Professor Yang, I disagree with some of your comments. You said that domestically produced cars use lead-acid batteries, which you consider garbage. But when they are replaced with lithium batteries, many problems remain. Spontaneous combustion still occurs, and the problem of unsuitability in northern China remains unsolved. According to your garbage theory, isn't it just a heavy garbage battery being replaced with a medium garbage battery?"

Yang Guangming sneered when he heard this: "But it's an improvement after all, isn't it? If you can still fall from the sky while flying, will people stop flying?"

"There's a risk of shipwrecks. Does that mean all shipping will be cancelled worldwide?"

"It's not advisable to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Such a simple truth, don't you, a young man, understand? I really wonder how you got into college."

Yang Guangming's rhetorical questions, one after another, were sharp and seemed to have pushed Su Mo into a corner.

Wang Nianming, who was sitting on the side, finally showed a smile on his face.

Su Mo, Su Mo, just keep showing off. You are asking for death by discussing technical issues with real experts.

Okay, let me see how you end this.
