C312 The Leap of Time
C312 The Leap of Time
The foundation of industrial revolution could not be separated by coal and steel, and the development of modern society could not be separated by oil and metal. Humans burned wood for an era, and coal for an era. Burning oil entered another era.
In modern society, although electricity was already very popularized and developed, when would modern society advance to the next new era? The decisive factor was how humans could find a new energy source that could truly replace oil.
The industrial technology in the Super Learning System could allow Zhang Yunfeng to see the direction of technology's development to a large extent. The inefficiency and contamination of oil determined that this energy source would be abandoned in the future. However, to abandon oil, modern society still needed at least a hundred years to go.
Electricity was an effective way to replace oil, but... The production of electricity still relies on pollution-based raw materials, coal. Safe. There is still a long way to go before using nuclear technology. Wind power wasn't even enough to light up the world. It was said that solar energy was a huge treasure, but... It was extremely difficult to gather and popularize solar energy. Water power, geothermal power, and other special electricity production conditions also required unique geographical conditions.
Even if the vast majority of electricity still needed to be obtained by burning coal, this did not hinder the development of the world's countries in the application of mobile electricity. The so-called mobile electricity application was to apply electricity to all kinds of transportation fields. However, due to the restrictions of many reasons, electricity was unable to truly be used freely without any restrictions.
For example, the electrical railway needed to rely on the dense connection network above the railway to provide electricity. As far as the electric train wanted to run, it needed to set up the connection network as far away as possible. The same goes for the electrified subway, either by relying on the network. Or rely on the third supply rail parallel to the rail. The electric vehicle also needed to have two big braids attached to the connection network on top of its head.
As mentioned earlier, the several ways to use it were the direct supply of electricity and not the ability to carry it on its own. The fundamental reason was that today's society had never developed a way to store electricity that was suitable to be used as a driving force for a long period of time.
In the field of cars, there were some concepts of pure electric cars, but they were basically unable to operate for more than 200 kilometers. Other than that, the low charging efficiency was even more difficult to accept. Think about it, who would be willing to drive a car out and end up out of battery... Should he find a place to park and charge for seven to eight hours?
If the super capacitor material was developed, it would break the awkward situation of electricity in the mobile field. It was smaller in size, lighter in weight, and could store a lot of electricity, but it was far larger than the batteries made from other materials. It also had the characteristics of charging quickly. As a result, the pure electric vehicle would be used in actual practice. It could break the previous restriction.
Besides the Dongchen Automobile engine, the general thermal utilization rate of gasoline engines was no more than 30%. One kilogram of gasoline, the actual kinetic energy converted from the total heat. At most, it was equivalent to 4000 watts of electricity. However, when comparing the cost, it would be discovered. One kilogram of gasoline, about 1.25 liters, worth about 10 RMB. The price of 4000 watts of electricity was not more than 2 RMB, and the energy utilization rate of the power engine could reach more than 90%.
Therefore, if the electricity could reach the convenience and endurance of fuel, then the technological development of the entire society would be able to cross the era!
Zhang Yunfeng couldn't help but think in his heart, if I can create the super capacitor material... If he didn't consider the significance of national defense, then the era of the entire society would be improved. If he considered the importance of national defense, then at least this material could allow the era of China to develop in leaps and bounds. And what is in front of us is an opportunity!
Biardi!
Zhang Yunfeng speculated in his heart that Biardi would definitely not put all his effort into this. The biggest reason why they wanted to try to transform into such a fast charging power bus project was that they had never been competitive enough in the automotive field. They also knew that the electric field had to take a lot of risks. It depended on the government's policies. So, if they could increase the competitiveness of Biardi in the automotive field, then cars would continue to be their core business.
Pang Xin was also shocked by Zhang Yunfeng's sudden proposal. Sell all the batteries in Biardi to Dong Chen? Didn't Dong Chen focus on car production? Since when was he so interested in the battery industry?
Pang Xin was also trying to figure out what Zhang Yunfeng meant by his words. Was it because Dong Chen saw the business opportunity in the battery industry, or was it that they wanted to use this opportunity to divide and nibble at the Biardi?
The latter was quickly eliminated by Pang Xin. Dong Chen did not have any real competitors at the moment. They had such powerful technological strength to support them, so how could they put a small Biardi in their eyes? They did not need to deliberately divide or nibble away Biardi.
Thinking about it, the biggest possibility was that Dong Chen saw a business opportunity in this area.
Business opportunity?
Pang Xin could not help but think, how could there be a huge business opportunity in this industry? It was nothing more than a step-by-step development, just like the automotive industry. There were also many competitors in this field. The battery industry of Biardi had been very stable for the past few years. There was no huge business opportunity at all.
Just as Pang Xin couldn't figure out the reason behind this, Zhang Yunfeng spoke again. He said indifferently, "The road to Yati's transformation is very difficult. I think you all know this better than me. However, the car manufacturing business of the Biardi has a certain foundation now. It's better to focus on the automotive field and throw away the battery related business. "
Pang Xin smiled bitterly and said, "The key is that our current automotive business is very unclear. Otherwise, we wouldn't have wanted to join Huahe Alliance."
Zhang Yunfeng nodded and said," The Huahe Alliance can open the door to Yati, while Dong Chen can guarantee that Yati will enjoy all the benefits of the Huahe Alliance. He reduced the productivity of Yati from 70 to 40. Furthermore, we can also authorize the Biardi to use our own 1.4 and 2.0 engines. Use it on Biardi's own model, you know... Our own engines are better than the ones we provide to the Huahe Alliance member companies. Another level higher."
Pang Xin was shocked! If what Zhang Yunfeng said was true, then Dong Chen had indeed given Biardi a very good special treatment. The points were reduced from 70 to 40. In other words, after obtaining the Dongchen Engine, they would have more production capacity to produce their own products, and not be reduced to working for Dong Chen. And Dong Chen wanted to authorize their two classic engines, which were 1.4 and 2.0, which were two outstanding engines that could be used by 80% of civilian vehicles. This way, it would be more competitive than the other companies in Huahe Alliance.
Thinking of this, Pang Xin suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "What are Dong Chen's conditions?"
Zhang Yunfeng said word by word, "Dong Chen will buy the entire battery business of Yati at a price that exceeds 30% of the market price. He will buy all of it with 100% shares."
Pang Xin did not feel that it was harsh. It was the battery business of Biardi. All this time, the profits were not considered high. Otherwise, they would not let the battery business, which had started early and had a deeper foundation, not focus on it. Instead, they diverted most of their attention to car production. If there were no Dong Chen or foreign companies that caused the price to drop, the core business of Biardi was definitely car production and not batteries.
If he sold the battery business to Dong Chen, he would be able to get special care from the Huahe Alliance. Compared to Yati, it was definitely a good thing!
Moreover, Dong Chen had cash flow. They wanted to buy Biardi at 130% market price. It was equivalent to Biati earning more than 800 million yuan in a short period of time! In addition to the battery business that was worth almost 2.7 billion yuan in the original market, Biardi could exchange it for 3.5 billion yuan in cash in a short period of time. And this 3.5 billion could be used to invest in the field of automotive production. With his special treatment in Huahe Alliance, he focused on the manufacturing of automobiles.
The temptation was absolutely great. If his idea of changing was to touch rocks and cross the river in the dark, then the condition given by Dong Chen was an incomparably bright and flat road.
Pang Xin was afraid that Zhang Yunfeng was joking with him, so he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Zhang, are you representing yourself or Dong Chen?"
After all, Pang Xin couldn't believe that Zhang Yunfeng, the representative, could decide for the entire Dong Chen.
Zhang Yunfeng said seriously, "Here, I am representing Dong Chen with all my power, and I can promise you that as long as you nod your head, all the conditions that I have promised you will be fulfilled!"
Pang Xin was delighted and said hastily, "Then I will return to Shenzhen tonight and have a good talk with the board of directors!"
After the meeting of the business department ended, Director Liu was very surprised by Zhang Yunfeng's performance today. He knew that the real person in charge of Dong Chen was actually Zhang Yunfeng. And today, he seemed to have put forward an impromptu proposal to purchase the new battery business section, which made Director Liu a little confused.
Why would Zhang Yunfeng be interested in the new battery section? Could it be that the team behind him wanted to develop in this field?
If that was really the case, then this news was really incredible. Director Liu held a sensitive position and had a very clear understanding of the industrial structure of the world. Now, no matter which industry it was, it was a breakthrough. What he was afraid of was a breakthrough.
In the era of PC, who would dare to imagine a portable laptop? And when it really appeared, it brought about a major breakthrough in this industry. And because of this breakthrough, the companies that took the initiative were greatly developed. The companies that fell behind suffered a huge blow. It was only a few years later that they managed to catch their breath.
In the current civil battery industry, let's not talk about how big it is. Just mobile phones, laptops, tablets, etc. Once it did not increase in volume and weight, increasing the endurance by one fold, this kind of technology was enough to bring a huge breakthrough to the entire industry!
Director Liu could not imagine that Zhang Yunfeng was brewing a breakthrough on a large scale. Once the time was right, he might even lead the progress of the entire era.
After the meeting ended, Director Liu and Zhang Yunfeng met privately in the hotel. He could not help but ask his own doubts and said, "Comrade Little Zhang, you are going to buy the battery business of Biardi today. Have you mastered some advanced technology in the battery industry? "
Zhang Yunfeng nodded without hiding anything and said, "There are some new technologies waiting to be implemented."
Director Liu hurriedly asked, "Is it in the battery field?"
Zhang Yunfeng nodded and said, "That's right."
Director Liu asked again, "Is it a battery or a fuel battery?"
Director Liu's question let Zhang Yunfeng know that he was half an expert. Battery was a common field in modern society, but fuel batteries were a new field developed by developed countries. The significance of the technology was very significant, but due to many restrictions, it has never been fully developed.
Zhang Yunfeng shook his head and smiled, "What Dong Chen wants to do is to store batteries."
"Oh..." Director Liu could not hide his disappointment and said, "Since Dong Chen is interested, you can do whatever you want. If you need my help, just let me know."
Zhang Yunfeng knew that Director Liu valued the fuel batteries in his heart, but the light batteries. This was because the vision of science and technology was too limited. They felt that... Fuel batteries produced by their own voltage were wider and more convenient to use. However, the battery was focused on charging. Once its battery capacity broke through, it was much easier to use than self-powered fuel batteries.
Propulsion of the fuel battery would first require the propulsion of infrastructure construction. Fuel replenishment of fuel cells was a very high-end technology. There were less than a hundred facilities in the world that could meet this demand. It was even less than the number of gas stations in a prefectural city. And... The operation of fuel batteries required a large number of objective conditions, so the cost of using this thing was very high. The cost of building the fuel cells was also shockingly high, but the battery that used a super capacitor material would not have such a situation. It was a very simple high-capacity battery, without any special maintenance or high-tech terminal equipment. In order to quickly replenish a large amount of electricity, what was needed was just a high-voltage circuit. And a charging port, the process of sustaining was very simple. All that was needed was to connect the high-voltage circuit to the battery.
Only the simplest, most reliable and easiest to operate technology was the most practical technology. Otherwise, just like the current nuclear power, it would be awesome. However, the difficulty of operating it is not that great. But there were many hidden dangers.
It was no wonder that Director Liu was not interested in batteries. In fact, he could not imagine how powerful the super capacitor material was. He couldn't even imagine the smartphone in his pocket charging once a day. It would take 68 hours to fully charge every time, but if the battery used the super capacitor material... The same way of using it could at least extend his life for more than 5 days. And the full charging time is too f * cking science fiction... He inserted the plug into the socket and listened to the song. The prelude was not finished yet. The battery was already full.
He couldn't imagine a pure electric car made of this material. Its endurance could reach at least 400 kilometers, and such a large battery... The charging time would not be more than two minutes, similar to the time when a gas pump was filled with fuel... It could even be faster, and a fast charging terminal that could deal with such a large battery... The cost was even less than one-fifth of the cost of a gas tank.
If this material was used to modify the subway system, then the longest subway line would be no more than 100 kilometers. There was no need to install any power supply equipment. All he needed to do was to add a quick charging system at one end. In a fully loaded operation, one charge, one charge, one charge. It could at least run for more than 100 kilometers.
If the power bus was built, the cost of running the bus would be reduced by at least 70%. If it was used to build regular submarines, it would be a pain in the ass, because ordinary diesel generators... However, their endurance would also increase by several times.
However, the most direct use was still to combine it with the Dongchen Automobile. With this material, Dong Chen would be able to produce hybrid cars and pure electric cars with environmental and economical significance. In the field of civil transportation, Dong Chen's family had occupied all the other competitors' markets.
Before this material was truly created, this was the most important thing. Director Liu simply could not imagine it. He quickly flipped through this article. He turned to Zhang Yunfeng and said, "Dong Chen's DCC 1800A high-powered diesel engine has passed all the tests in the northern industry. The performance of the engine on the active main tank is quite amazing. Its power performance has been greatly improved, and it can be said to be the best in the world. The military will soon send out an official approval and purchase list. The initial purchase amount will be at least five thousand units. "
Zhang Yunfeng nodded and smiled, and said, "Five thousand units is really not worth mentioning to that production line."
Director Liu nodded and said, "Yes, five thousand units is a little less, but you have to know... In the field of national defense, there is no need to use many single engines. Now, there are less than a thousand new main tanks with real combat power. The number of tanks that the old model is still using is added in, the total is not more than 10,000."
Zhang Yunfeng nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll use this production line to produce high-powered diesel engines. Many heavy industry and heavy truck companies need better diesel engines."
In the field of heavy engineering and heavy trucks, diesel engines were the only power configuration. Other than that, gasoline engines and electric engines were useless. And the biggest benchmark to measure their manufacturing standards was the level of the engine. Zhang Yunfeng did not have the energy to involve the entire production of this field. However... He could authorize his engine to Engineer Xu, Engineer Liu, and companies like San Yi Heavy Industries and Zhong Lian. If the engine was greatly improved... Then the gap between them and overseas Libo Haier would be infinitely reduced. It could even form a reverse overload.
Director Liu said, "This, I want to convey it to the higher-ups on your behalf. If they have no objections, then you can freely control the remaining production capacity of this production line."
"That's good." Zhang Yunfeng smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
