Used on tanks…

Hearing this strange question, and then looking at the solemn and eager eyes, Lu Zhou finally understood what Secretary Lu was doing.

In fact, the research on electric drive tanks is not very new.

As early as the 1930s, Dr. Porsche studied this subject.

The VK101P tank with the PorscheType1/4501 air-cooled engine is installed. The power generated by the engine is first stored in the battery and then the two 275kW motors are driven. It has undoubtedly met the basic characteristics of an electric drive tank.

However, due to the limitations of the times, this electric-driven tank technology has not been able to play a big advantage on the battlefield. Only the design of “differential steering system” has been retained.

In the next century, with the continuous advancement of science and technology, the concept of electric drive tanks was repeatedly discussed and discussed.

Lu Zhou can guess that Dr. Lu asked this question not only to know if this stuff can be used on tanks.

What he really wants to ask is probably the development dividend brought about by the controllable nuclear fusion. Can it overflow from the economic field to the military industry…

“You have to ask experts in the military field.” After a moment of thinking, Lu Zhou answered this question seriously. “But in my opinion, whether it is a lithium-sulfur battery or a lithium-air battery, the future in the military field is limited. of.”

When Secretary Lu listened to this, he was anxious and asked quickly.

“why?”

“Safety,” Lu Zhou sighed said. “As long as it is a chemistry battery, it is basically based on a redox reaction to convert electrical energy and chemistry. Since it is a redox reaction, there is a great instability. Especially lithium, which can be self-ignited in the air, if it is hit by something like a cannonball, it is not as simple as leaking oil, I am afraid that there is no chance of emergency measures, 100% Just blew it up.”

There should be someone talking to him about this stuff.

However, looking at the way of Director Lu, it may be mentioned that someone has actually mentioned that he is not too serious.

“…this way.”

After hearing Lu Zhou’s answer, there was a regrettable expression on Director Lu’s face.

Obviously, before coming here, there should be a technical argumentation meeting on this proposition. And as far as the expression on his face is concerned, he should support the use of lithium batteries in the military field.

Staring at the teacup on the table for a long time, the old mister still unwillingly raised his head, not asking for it.

“Is there no room for improvement? For example, to make a battery that can balance stability and high energy density?”

“The kind of thing you said is probably not chemistry. The battery can do it…”

Lu Zhou didn’t know what to say. He shook his head and stopped. After a pause, he continued.

“Actually… I don’t know much about the military. However, if I only understand it according to my personal understanding, it is not reliable to use the lithium battery in the tank front-line combat unit, but if the lithium battery is used, In non-frontline combat units such as transport vehicles, military trucks, and even transport helicopters, it should still be feasible to ease the dependence of the logistics system on oil.”

Electric drive engines have great advantages in terms of noise, concealment, and handling.

Especially in the defensive war, the advantages of this logistic system electrification are obvious under the premise that the basic power facilities can be guaranteed.

As for the offensive war…

Huaguo is a hobby peace country, and this is not discussed for the time being.

Looking at Lu’s face with a thoughtful expression, Lu Zhou laughed continued.

“Actually, I am a pacifist. I don’t have much research on weapons. But if defense construction requires my advice, I can only say that instead of finding a way out on the chemistry battery, it is better to think of ways from other places.”

Director Lu immediately asked: “Other places?”

Lu Zhou nodded, continued: “For example, controlled fusion technology, I have already made a small-scale controllable fusion battery. Although there are still many limitations such as high cost, there is always a process for scientific progress. As long as you keep investing in this field, you may not be able to spend a dozen or twenty years, and the effect of a small fusion battery that can mature to your imagination is also uncertain.”

The controllable fusion miniaturization technology has been used in a series of spacecraft such as Xiangrui, Xiaguang and Yanqiao. The new generation of deep-sea nuclear submarines is said to have also installed the same type of battery.

Lu Zhou remembers that he saw orders from the Chinese Navy’s equipment procurement department on the accounts of the Space Shuttle Assembly Center, and the number of purchases seems to be not small.

Although there is still a long way to go to move this technology from the sky and the sea to the land and reduce the cost and minimum volume to an acceptable level, who is going to say good things in the future?

As long as you continue along this road, there is always a day to see the hope of realization.

……

Further miniaturization of the fusion battery is a matter of the future, and no matter how Lu Zhou paints the second floor of the Energy Bureau to paint the fusion cake, the whole new energy vehicle industry has already gone mad.

The downstream supply chain is still good. Several domestic new energy vehicle manufacturers have gathered engineers to study Lu Zhou’s thesis overnight. It is inferred from the words of the words that the lithium-ion battery should have little impact on them. The design of adding an air intake grille in front of the car should be fine.

Whether it is optimistic or not, the impact is not great. In short, the major new energy auto manufacturers are barely relaxed.

However, relaxed is relaxed, but that doesn’t mean they will put this down.

In view of the potential impact of uncertainties in the new energy industry, companies such as BYD have postponed new cars that were scheduled to be listed in the near future, and are ready to wait until the lithium battery technology dust settles before launching new models and starting. We are working on a new energy vehicle with an air intake grille that meets the expectations of a lithium battery.

Although consumers generally have a wait-and-see mood, due to the continuous decline in electricity prices and the impact of steady domestic oil prices, the overall impact on them is not that great.

However, these automakers are relaxed, but for the midstream companies in the entire supply chain, especially those car battery manufacturers, the uncomfortable head is big.

How many years of wait and see, finally decided to complete the upgrade of the production line Boss, it can be said that it was white hair overnight.

The new energy industry is getting more and more prosperous, but their products are being eliminated…

In the warehouse of New Zhongshan Materials.

Looking far away from the mountain of lithium-sulfur battery inventory, Liu Wanshan smoked a cigarette and then smoked, his face did not know what to cry or laugh.

Standing next to Boss, the secretary in the suit is also very sad, wanting to swear for Boss, but I don’t know who to be…

“This starry sky technology…is going to shut us down.”

Bombed ash, Liu Wanshan sighed.

“This is really a bad day.”

Although the stock price of New Zhongshan Materials has been soaring some time ago, the number of orders has plummeted.

In particular, there are still a few small factories that have placed orders, and they have directly breached the contract. The car battery produced is simply not needed. It is so much that he is now in a large amount of goods, and he has to worry about how to deal with these things.

The only thing that made him a little gratified is that it is not just their family that faces such a dilemma. Now the entire battery industry is not very good. New Zhongshan Materials also has a lithium material business in the upstream of the industrial chain, as well as a mobile phone battery business in another industry chain.

In contrast, it is not too breathless.

However, it is definitely not acceptable.

Standing next to Liu Wanshan, the secretary asked with a heavy face.

“Boss, let’s… what to do now.”

A sigh of smoke, Liu Wanshan thought for a moment, said openly.

“The car battery production line is temporarily turned off. Some workers go to the production line of mobile phone batteries, train them to work as soon as possible. There is also the business of modifying PDMS materials and HCS-2 materials, as soon as possible to remind the downstream manufacturers of the payment, let them Call the money as soon as possible, and wait for the lithium battery to come out, we will follow up immediately, in any case, we must guarantee the cash flow, the bullets in the hand are sufficient, and there is hope to win!”

The secretary is busy nodded.

“Okay, I will do it later.”

Looking at the piles of goods in the factory, Liu Wanshan felt a pain in his heart, but this is no way.

Turning out of the factory, smashed the cigarette butt in his hand, Liu Wanshan threw it into the trash can next to him, and looked back at the factory again.

That is worth tens of millions of goods!

The more I thought about it, the more I was unwilling, and Liu Wanshan slammed her feet.

“No, I have to go to the Land Professor to discuss.”

“Starry Sky has a good share of ours, and he can’t help at all!”
