What does it mean to get a perfect score on the college entrance exam but then go missing?

Wang Zhanxi remembers it very clearly.

On the day he explained the project to Qin Ze, he tried to appease Qin Ze.

They suggested that Qin Ze participate in the group discussion.

"You're just a freshman. It's fine for you to participate in the discussion, and I'd be happy if you even came up with a solution. What is this?"

Wang Zhanxi still couldn't quite believe his eyes.

"This is my plan," Qin Ze said, pointing to GD01.

"No, you have a plan? Write it down on paper!"

Wang Zhan was pleased.

He never expected that Qin Ze would bring a physical object to the event.

There are nearly fifty people in the group.

However, only three groups were able to come up with a solution.

What does this tell us?

This indicates that the project is very difficult.

But Qin Ze, in just a few days, brought a prototype with him.

Is this still Earth?

Faced with Wang Zhanxi's incredulity, Qin Ze waved his hand.

"I chose this university because I wanted to do something practical."

"According to Commander Yang, I'm writing my thesis on the land of our motherland."

"So I wanted to use physical objects to make it more intuitive."

Ning Shuguo: ? ? ? ?

Is this what you call writing your thesis on the land of your motherland?

You're writing your thesis in a science fiction movie!

Okay?

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the armored behemoth, his eyes filled with burning desire.

Few men can resist such charm.

It has an angular shape, but the lines are very simple and clear.

A fuselage that is four or five meters tall can create a natural sense of oppression.

The limbs are thick and have many servo joints that are visible to the naked eye.

It has a strong mechanical and sci-fi feel.

As the president of the university, Ning Shuguo has handled countless engineering projects.

He always believed in the saying, "Good looks are a fighting force."

This widely circulated witty remark was not just empty talk for him.

Because he knew it all too well.

Industrial aesthetics are also part of industrial capability.

To achieve superior industrial aesthetics, a high level of skill is required from the designers themselves.

Aerodynamics, structural engineering, materials science...

If these disciplines are done well, the resulting physical objects will definitely be beautiful.

Also.

Aesthetics and craftsmanship are directly proportional.

The higher the appearance, the higher the craftsmanship.

Take the most basic welding as an example.

The soldering work of excellent engineers is always smooth and delicate, and it will be aesthetically pleasing.

Good-looking equipment isn't necessarily good.

But good equipment must also look good.

Looking back at the history of industry, those designs that have left their mark on history, whether they are tanks, airplanes or cannons, are all examples of this.

They all have one thing in common—they are very good-looking.

Qin Ze's plan conforms to this pattern.

Ning Shuguo took two steps forward, examining the giant beast with great interest, making clicking sounds as he looked at it.

"Xiao Qin, what are you thinking?"

Qin Ze thought the principal was complaining, so he said weakly, "Professor Wang asked me to participate in the discussion, I thought I would also have to come up with a proposal..."

"No! I mean, what were you thinking, making this thing?"

Ning Shuguo couldn't help but look up at the four- or five-meter-tall behemoth.

"How much energy would it take to create something this big?"

"What power source are you using?"

Ning Shuguo is a professional.

He knew that the starting point for any machine was energy.

Without energy, there is no power, and therefore no performance.

"Judging by its appearance, this thing doesn't have a fuel tank or external cables. You're not using batteries, are you?"

Gao Xinren, an energy and power expert standing nearby, was completely baffled.

Under normal circumstances.

For driving such large machinery, oil-electric power is the preferred option.

However, if it's electricity, it can only be connected via an external cable.

Because this thing is so big, the battery simply isn't enough.

"It's Professor Gao who's been harmed."

Qin Ze suddenly gave a thumbs up.

"I'm using batteries, you could tell!"

Gao Xinren: ? ? ?

That was a rhetorical question, couldn't you tell?

A rhetorical question signifies shock; don't you understand?

Ning Shuguo immediately became anxious: "Batteries? What size battery would it take to power something this big? This mech, I'd estimate, weighs at least half a ton!"

Qin Ze waved his hand: "Seven hundred and fifty kilograms."

"My goodness, more than half a ton? What kind of battery do you use to power this thing?" Ning Shuguo was completely baffled.

Everyone heard Professor Gao Xinren's explanation very clearly.

Current battery technology is stuck in the gap between lithium batteries and semi-solid-state batteries.

Even Professor Gao Xinren's latest semi-solid-state battery, when placed on this behemoth, would probably not last more than an hour.

If we use more traditional lithium batteries or lead-acid batteries, then it's simply impossible.

If these two are to power this mech, the battery itself would probably weigh one or two tons.

From the perspective of energy conservation, it is illogical for this mecha to use electricity, especially batteries.

if so.

Two hours of charging provides five minutes of talk time.

No matter how cool Qin Ze's mecha design is, it's all for naught.

Thinking about this...

Ning Shuguo couldn't help but frown: "I have to admit, Xiao Qin, your level is very, very high."

"The industrial aesthetics of this mecha are enough for the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering to study for several years."

"But the university is, after all, a practical institution. If you make this thing using batteries, it goes against practicality."

Qin Ze waved his hand: "I'm not using ordinary batteries."

"The ASSB all-solid-state battery equipped in this mech uses an oxide-based approach."

"The energy density is 650Wh/kg."

"It can withstand stable discharge under operating conditions from 80 to -40 degrees Celsius without efficiency degradation."

"Using a ceramic matrix, it is more rigid and perfectly suited for industrial environments."

"Specifically, the GD01 uses a 300-kilogram battery, which provides four hours of continuous use under heavy load."

"The battery solution is still being optimized, but four hours of battery life should be enough to support a certain amount of continuous operation."

???

!!!

???

All-solid-state?

Everyone stared blankly at Qin Ze, as if they had been struck by a pressure point.

Just half an hour ago, Professor Gao brought a semi-solid-state battery to demonstrate.

Everyone remembers the scene vividly!

Gao Xinren, a senior professor at the School of Energy and Power Engineering, used all his expertise to produce a semi-solid material.

Energy density is a mere 380Wh/kg!

But now!

Qin Ze's all-solid-state approach almost doubles the energy density!

Gao Xinren's mind was buzzing!

He remembers it clearly, when he was facing his own battery.

Qin Ze asked: Why not use all solid-state drives? Is it because you don't want to?

At the time, Gao Xinren thought it was an arrogant mockery.

So that's it!

They were just asking a simple question.

For someone who has already mastered the all-solid-state approach.

When you see others using semi-solid-state products, you'll definitely ask why.

For Qin Ze, semi-solid-state solutions are clearly outdated.

Wang Zhanxi, who was standing to the side, had already lost his mind at this moment.

What does "all solid-state" mean?

If this battery were included in a research paper now, the whole country would be in an uproar.

Anyone involved in this project can be recognized as an advanced science and technology worker in that year's evaluation.

This battery alone would last someone three to five years.

But now.

This battery is just an add-on product for the GD01, it's a buy-one-get-one-free deal!

Hey!

It's terrifying to think about, and it's terrifying even to think about it superficially!

"Xiao Qin, what are you really thinking?"

Wang Zhanxi asked this question from the depths of his soul.

"What made you decide to equip the mech with all solid-state components?"

"????"

Qin Ze's face was full of question marks upon hearing this.

"Didn't you say so?"

"You required strong battery life for the project, so I went with all SSDs!"

"Isn't the battery life good with all-solid-state batteries?"

Two sentences.

Wang Zhanxi felt that things were not going to work out.

!!!

No, I told you to focus on battery life, not to start an energy revolution!
