Super Rich: Starting the game by going back ten years to buy Bitcoin

"Have you tested the data?" Ji Yanran asked, her voice trembling.

Li Yichen did not reply.

He turned and walked towards the German-imported integrated electrochemical workstation at the far end of the control panel.

Wearing an anti-static glove, he pinched the thin, silvery-gray sheet with his right hand.

Push it into the test chamber.

Press the green start button.

A dull hum emanated from inside the machine.

Vacuuming.

Inject inert gas.

The probe is precisely pressed onto the positive and negative contacts of the thin film.

The screen lights up.

A series of red and green data streams began to scroll wildly.

The charging curve rises in an extremely smooth yet steep arc.

Ji Yanran, wearing high heels, moved closer.

My gaze was fixed on the screen.

Even their breathing was extremely soft.

They were afraid that even the slightest noise would interfere with the operation of the instrument.

ten minutes.

twenty minutes.

Time stretched out infinitely in the quiet laboratory.

The first round of basic charge-discharge tests has been completed.

The printer next to the equipment ejected a long thermal paper report.

A bold red number popped up in the center of the screen.

Energy density: 890Wh/kg.

The moment Ji Yanran saw this number.

His eyes widened suddenly.

Breathing has stopped.

Because she is now the CEO of Future Technology, she has also learned a lot about new energy during this period.

They know these data by heart.

My mind kept flashing through the PowerPoint presentations from various car companies' press conferences.

Ningwang's latest Kirin battery achieves maximum volume utilization, with an energy density of only 255Wh/kg.

BDI's knife battery prioritizes safety and has an energy density of only 140Wh/kg.

The number on the screen is now 890Wh/kg.

This means that the battery pack, which originally weighed half a ton and occupied the entire chassis, was now being replaced.

Now it only requires less than 200 kilograms of weight.

The interior space will be freed up like never before.

The vehicle's energy consumption per 100 kilometers will be significantly reduced.

This unremarkable, palm-sized, thin slice.

Under the same volume.

Its energy storage capacity is three times that of top-of-the-line products on the market.

Li Yichen looked at the screen.

Her brow bone drooped slightly.

three times.

Follow the perfect recipe data provided by the system.

The theoretical limit should be more than five times.

The purity of the current materials is still insufficient.

Even 99.99% of graphene nanosheets still contain impurities at the microscopic level.

These impurities hinder the complete fusion of the solid electrolyte.

This results in insufficient smoothness of the ion transport channels.

The precision of the process is also lacking.

The uniformity of manual coating cannot match the nanometer-level precision of fully automated equipment.

but.

A threefold difference.

That's enough to crush all existing battery manufacturers.

Ji Yanran was still reeling from the shock of the three-fold increase in capacity.

Li Yichen's fingers were already typing on the keyboard.

Launch the accelerated aging simulation program.

Click to run.

A faint electrical buzzing sound was heard inside the test chamber.

The equipment began to repeatedly charge and discharge the sample at extremely high rates.

A thousand times.

Two thousand times.

Three thousand times.

The capacity decay curve is almost a horizontal line.

There are no signs of a precipitous drop.

The test lasted a full eight hours.

It was completely dark outside.

During these eight hours.

Ji Yanran went to the tea room at the end of the corridor and made four cups of black coffee.

The high heels made a chaotic rhythm on the stainless steel floor.

She would run back to the screen every half hour to take a look.

A thousand times, and the data remains strong.

Two thousand cycles, surpassing the life-or-death threshold of current mainstream batteries on the market.

Three thousand times, Ji Yanran's hand holding the coffee cup began to tremble.

Four thousand times, coffee spilled onto the white tabletop.

Until the final data is displayed on the screen.

Cycle life limit: 6360 cycles.

Capacity retention rate: 91.2%.

Ji Yanran's legs went weak.

I barely managed to steady myself by holding onto the edge of the stainless steel lab bench with one hand.

The best lithium batteries on the market today have a cycle life of at most two thousand cycles.

Six thousand times.

This is three times the industry benchmark.

If a tram is equipped with this type of battery.

The range easily exceeds 1,500 kilometers.

Even if you drive it until it's scrapped, the battery capacity won't show any significant degradation.

Li Yichen leaned against the edge of the lab bench.

Arms crossed in front of the chest.

Six thousand times.

There is still a considerable gap between this and the ideal value of 10,000 times.

But this is already a terrifying figure that could keep all the world's battery giants up at night.

Ji Yanran turned her head.

Looking at Li Yichen leaning against the lab bench.

This moment.

The way she looked at this man completely changed.

Previously, he was portrayed as a spoiled rich kid who only spent money in Shanghai, frequented clubs, and acted as a hands-off boss.

It shattered completely in my mind.

The one standing in front of her now.

It is a true monster standing at the pinnacle of technology.

"If this were mass-produced..."

Ji Yanran's throat was dry.

His Adam's apple slid up and down several times before he made a sound.

"The entire landscape of the new energy market will be completely rewritten."

"Ningwang, BYD, and those overseas battery giants."

"Their existing technological approach is completely obsolete."

"Hundreds of billions of yuan invested in research and development have been turned into waste paper."

"Whoever acquires this technology first will be the king of the next era."

Li Yichen nodded.

Pick up the silver-gray battery sample.

They turned around under the illumination of the overhead light.

"We can't rush into mass production yet."

He put the sample back into the acrylic box.

Close the lid.

"Once this is released..."

"The world's financial giants will pounce on this."

"Acquisitions, poaching, patent wars, cutting off material supplies."

Li Yichen stared directly at Ji Yanran.

"Until we establish an absolute production capacity moat."

"The existence of this battery must be kept absolutely secret."

Ji Yanran straightened up.

"How should the moat be built?"

Li Yichen walked to the whiteboard and picked up a marker.

Write three words on it.

Lithium, silicon, carbon.

"The source of battery manufacturing is minerals."

"Our graphene nanosheets and solid electrolytes consume a great deal of raw materials."

"Once the news leaks out, overseas capital that controls global mining pricing will immediately cut off our raw material supply."

"They will strangle us at the source."

Li Yichen turned around.

"so."

"Your task now goes beyond just keeping an eye on the existing twelve materials."

"We also need to be prepared for Fang Yi. If that happens, we won't be able to rely on foreign resources. I need you to use all the funds."

"Stock up on goods domestically."

"Acquire mining rights for lithium and graphite mines."

"If the money isn't enough, I'll inject capital anytime."

"I want to connect the entire upstream and downstream of the industry chain before mass production."

"To form an absolute closed loop."

Ji Yanran listened to these words.

A tingling sensation ran down my scalp.

This man is not only a technical genius.

In terms of business strategy, they possess an ambition and foresight that are difficult for ordinary people to match.

He has no intention of sharing the pie with the existing giants.

He wants to flip the table and set the rules himself.

Ji Yanran nodded emphatically.

In the face of absolute power, keeping a low profile is the only rule for survival.

Li Yichen walked to the clothes rack behind the door.

They took off their white coats, which were covered in gray-black powder.

He changed back into that spotless haute couture suit.

Raise your left hand.

I glanced at the Vacheron Constantin on my wrist.

Three o'clock in the morning.

"I'm gone."

Li Yichen strode towards the laboratory door.

Ji Yanran followed behind and walked out.

The early autumn night breeze blew through the empty walkways of the factory area.

It had a distinctly cool feel to it.

She looked at the tall, straight figure in front of her.

A very clear thought was swirling in my mind.

This man.

He is building an unparalleled business empire with his own hands.

And she.

He is the most crucial executor in this empire.

What's a seventeen million annual salary?

The day this battery is truly mass-produced.

The stock option dividends she holds are definitely calculated in the hundreds of millions.

The two walked to the open-air parking lot in front of the factory building.

Ji Yanran quickly stepped forward.

He opened the rear door of the black Bentley Flying Spur.

He placed one hand on the edge of the car roof.

Li Yichen lowered his head and sat down in the car.

Ji Yanran walked around to the other side, opened the car door, and got in.

In the driver's seat.

Chu Feng gripped the steering wheel with both hands and started the engine.

He glanced at the back seat through the rearview mirror inside the car.

Ji Yanran sat upright.

Place your hands on your knees.

His posture conveyed an extremely obvious sense of awe.

Chu Feng was secretly alarmed.

This General Manager Ji is usually decisive and has a very strong presence in the company.

He always maintains a cold and aloof demeanor, treating everyone with a purely businesslike attitude.

just now.

In front of the boss, he was so obedient that he didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Chu Feng has been guarding outside the factory area for the past two weeks.

Watching Li Yichen working tirelessly in the laboratory.

He had served as a special forces soldier and knew how much energy that kind of intense focus required.

Li Yichen now.

The redness under her eyes was impossible to hide.

But...

The aura emanating from him was even more terrifying than it had been half a month ago.

It was a composure that came from the very core of one's being in control of absolute core power.

Chu Feng gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands.

He has a strong intuition.

I am now driving for someone who is about to change the world.

Step on the gas.

The Bentley Flying Spur smoothly drove out of the gate of Hongyuan New Energy.

It merges into the empty, deserted road late at night.

They sped off toward Tomson Riviera.

Deep inside the factory area.

In the laboratory in Workshop No. 3, which was locked with multiple passwords.

No one is empty.

On the display screen of the integrated electrochemical workstation.

That set of data is enough to change the world.

It was still quietly shimmering with a cold white light.
