Chapter 845: Establis.h.i.+ng The [Graphene Battery Production Factory]!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Graphene, which was a single-layer graphite, was a new type of battery material. It had strong mechanical strength, good stretching performance, good conductivity, and many other advantages. Its value was extremely high. It had always been regarded as the next generation of battery breakthroughs.
Therefore, scientists and companies from all over the world were researching this material, hoping to apply it to the battery industry.
Unfortunately, after researching for so long, these countries and companies still did not have a cheap and efficient way of making use of it.
However… Su Yang knew how to use it…
During the conference to announce his gla.s.s phone, when Su Yang introduced Jiadian Mobile’s gla.s.s phone, he mentioned that he was using graphene battery technology. In fact, he did not make this up, Jiadian really did have that technology.
This was the conclusion obtained through his [Eye of Origins].
And after Little Deeny became +5, factories with cutting-edge technology such as the [Graphene Battery Production Factory] appeared buildable in the virtual s.p.a.ce.
This meant that all the black technology and advanced technology could be achieved in the virtual world. This was the source of Su Yang’s confidence to lead the world. He intended to develop his own technology step by step.
The first technology he came up with was the simplest and least impactful graphene battery technology.
Although graphene battery technology was an energy-based plan, it was only a battery storage technology after all, not a direct energy usage technology (such as solar energy, which efficiently directs the use of solar power on cell phones). Therefore, as long as it was controlled well, it was believed that it wouldn’t cause resistance from various countries, capitalists, and corporations.
However, as long as it was used well, subverting an entire industry was not a problem.
Therefore, after Zhao Licheng a.n.a.lyzed many industries, countries, and markets, he set his sights on the automobile industry.
As early as a few years ago, due to the increasing pollution on Earth and the depletion of its natural resources, electric vehicles became the next target of the world’s automobile industry.
But there were many problems that limited the development of new energy vehicles, such as charging efficiency and endurance.
However, graphene batteries could solve these problems perfectly.
Hence, Zhao Licheng felt that using graphene battery technology to test the waters in j.a.pan was enough to topple j.a.pan’s automobile industry…
…
Su Yang and Zhao Licheng chatted about their next plan as they watched the building in front of them rise from the ground. It slowly turned from a brick into a large graphene battery production factory.
It was like an invisible hand was building the building.
After the battery factory was built, Su Yang and Zhao Licheng walked in together.
Similar to the phone factory, the door to the factory still had retina recognition technology. After Su Yang recorded Zhao Licheng’s retina, the factory granted him access.
Entering the [Graphene Battery Production Factory], Su Yang realized that it was similar to a cell phone factory. It was similar to a factory with many mechanical arms for production. There was also a circular device in the middle, which should be a setting table.
Su Yang walked over and studied it. He realized that it was similar to how the cell phone factory operated. They were all inputting a series of information and then producing different graphene batteries.
For example, graphene batteries that could produce thin slices and store 100 milligrams of electricity, large batteries that were as big as boxes and could store 5,000kWh.
With these different types of batteries, Su Yang could use them on various technological products.
Also, because the graphene batteries needed to be used in different scenarios, the station could also put the technological products that needed batteries in them for a.n.a.lysis and produce related battery production plans.
Since this was his first time entering the factory, Su Yang was prepared to test out the various functions of the factory.
He called for Little Deeny and asked him to bring a few electronics over for testing.
After a while, Little Deeny came to Su Yang with a few different appliances. There was a radio, a laptop, and an iPad. These were things that Su Yang often used at home.
After taking the things over, Su Yang first placed the iPad on the a.n.a.lysis table. This was the most common technological product that could charge lithium batteries. Therefore, Su Yang wanted to see what kind of solution could be produced at the [Graphene Battery Production Factory].
With that thought in mind, Su Yang pressed the a.n.a.lysis b.u.t.ton, and a blue light enveloped the iPad.
A moment later, the blue light disappeared, and a series of parameters for the iPad appeared on the screen. There was also the option [Graphene Battery Improvement Plan].
Su Yang looked at the proposals and realized that there were three options. He could make adjustments to each option.
The three options were [Minimal Modifications Option], [Maximum Battery Efficiency Option], and [Optimal Option].
Su Yang took a look at [Minimal Modifications Option].
In this plan, the factory did not make any changes to the iPad. Even the size and shape of the graphene battery were produced according to the existing batteries.
In other words, Su Yang only needed to click on this plan to confirm that the graphene battery produced would be installed on the iPad without any gaps.
Due to the use of graphene batteries, the iPad’s continuation went from one and a half days to three days, and the continuation was almost doubled.
Without changing the design, there was no need to make any new components. Just changing a new battery could double the endurance. This was enough to show how amazing graphene batteries were.
The second plan was [Maximum Battery Efficiency Option]. In this option, the overall structure of the iPad was adjusted in various ways. The goal was to leave as much s.p.a.ce as possible for the battery.
The biggest effect of this plan was that the iPad’s continuation went from one and a half days to ten days, which was six times faster.
In the final [Optimal Option] plan, all the circuit structures and sh.e.l.ls of the iPad were redesigned. Some of the circuit structures of the iPad were slightly adjusted, and the layout of the electronic components was adjusted. Then, using the thin graphene and the strong extending characteristic, the battery was divided into many small parts and stuffed into the iPad.
The effect of this modification was increased to five days.
There were pros and cons to each plan, but Su Yang saw the intelligence of the [Graphene Battery Production Factory].
The smartest thing was that these three proposals were not the final ones. Instead, they gave Su Yang a choice. For example, Su Yang could adjust between one and a half days to 10 days.
In other words, Su Yang could reduce the battery’s battery capacity and reduce his performance.
This was a good thing for Su Yang, who was prepared to cheat others.
Right after that, Su Yang placed the laptop on the a.n.a.lysis table and a.n.a.lyzed it. The conclusion was similar. There were three solutions, and the battery capacity could be adjusted.
Finally, Su Yang placed the radio on the a.n.a.lysis panel to see if there was anything different.
The reason why Su Yang felt that this radio was special was because it was not charged but used two sections of number five batteries. Therefore, Su Yang wanted to see if there would be any changes to this external battery technology.
Very soon, the a.n.a.lysis screen showed an improvement plan.
Su Yang was not surprised. The a.n.a.lysis table had indeed given him a different choice. Of the three options, the one with the smallest change was to change it to an external battery.
Furthermore, the model and size of the battery was no different from that of a number five battery.
In other words, as long as Su Yang was willing, he could ma.s.s-produce number five batteries.
With the advantage of graphene batteries, as long as the price was not high, normal battery manufacturers would not be able to compete with him.
After researching the [Graphene Battery Production Factory], Su Yang had complete confidence in his plan to overthrow j.a.pan.
Now that he had completed the most crucial step, he just had to follow the original plan and wait for Yagawa Masaru to invite him into j.a.pan…
…
In the next few days, nothing happened. Zhao Licheng continued to argue with Yagawa Masaru. Both parties had their own schemes, and they knew that the other party had ulterior motives. However, they were confident that they would be the winner, so serious negotiations were more like a game.
After staying at home for more than ten days, Su Yang finally walked out of his house for the first time. This was also the first time that he had appeared after the World’s Billionaire List was released.
The first thing Su Yang did when he came out was to go to Zhejiang Province to inspect the automobile company that he had obtained previously: Zhongan Automobile.
Initially, Su Yang did not really care about the company that Huang Zheng “turned” over. In fact, he did not even want to take over the company. His only thought was to wait for a period of time and find a seller to sell it before getting some cash.
But now that he had a plan to overturn j.a.pan, Su Yang started to take Zhongan Automobile seriously. After all, it was also the key to overturning j.a.pan’s plans.
While he was inspecting the car, Su Yang told Zhao Licheng about his request.
In the next half a year, Su Yang needed to change the entire team inside Zhongan Automobile. Not only did he need to develop a new product line, he also had to change the direction of his research and development. He needed to research new energy vehicles and prepare to transform them into new energy vehicles.
According to Su Yang’s plan, the future Zhongan would be divided into two departments.
One of them was the Zhongan Automobile Department, which focused on convenience and cost-efficiency.
The other was the high-end auto department that carried brand new graphene energy technology and artificial intelligence driverless technology.
On the other hand, the “gasoline car” that Zhongan Automobile used to drive was chopped off by Su Yang and sold to another domestic car company when Little Hus’s nose was filled with a foul stench.
Even though the people in the car felt that Su Yang’s adjustment was a little too big, Su Yang was the boss after all. Hence, they could only agree since they were feeling uneasy.
After inspecting the car, Su Yang returned to Shanghai and made an appointment with Chu Xia.
To avoid being followed and photographed, they decided to meet at Su Yang’s new home…
Su Yang’s new house was the villa that Pan Zhaodi had previously chosen. In the Shanghai Metropolitan Area, the building area was about 500 square meters. There were three floors and a bas.e.m.e.nt, which was close to 2,000 square meters. Coupled with a small garden that was close to 1,000 square meters, it was very comfortable and livable.
After Chu Xia arrived, she liked it very much and said that it was the most beautiful house she had ever seen.
Su Yang really liked Chu Xia, who had never seen the world, and praised her.
Chu Xia huffed like a pink piglet.
For the first time, the two did not go to the virtual world. Instead, they hugged each other like normal couples. They ate while watching soap operas.
The only thing that was different from other couples was probably the Little Monster Beans that walked outside their sight and served them. Every time Su Yang and Chu Xia finished drinking the water in their cups, the Little Monster Beans would carefully run over and replace them.
They stayed like that for the whole day. Even though they did not do anything, both of them were very satisfied.
That night, after Su Yang and Chu Xia had a sumptuous candlelight dinner, Su Yang looked at Chu Xia affectionately and invited her to stay over at the villa.
However, Chu Xia blushed and rejected Su Yang’s dirty thoughts with a “flying napkin attack”.
Su Yang laughed as he dodged Chu Xia’s attack. However, he did not have any regrets. To him, it did not matter whether Chu Xia stayed the night or not. What mattered was Chu Xia’s thoughts.
‘If Chu Xia is really prepared, I could just open a portal and bring Chu Xia into the virtual s.p.a.ce.
‘So, no hurry…’
After fooling around with Chu Xia for a while, Su Yang drove her home.
The car drove on the brightly lit streets of Shanghai. Chu Xia leaned her head against the car window and looked at Su Yang with eyes full of love and sadness.
While Su Yang was driving, he glanced at her and asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”
Chu Xia shook her head. “Nothing.”
Su Yang glanced at her again, not believing her.
Just as he was about to ask more, Chu Xia spoke first, “Su Yang, what do you think will happen to you if I leave you one day?”
Su Yang was shocked. “Why would you leave me?”
Chu Xia whispered, “I’m just saying if.”
It was rare for Su Yang to act like a domineering CEO. He said, “There are no “ifs”. I won’t let you leave me.”
Chu Xia stared at Su Yang’s serious face for a few seconds before smiling. “Alright.”
Chu Xia’s performance made Su Yang uneasy. Hence, he continued asking, “What exactly is going on?”
Chu Xia had been pestered by Su Yang for too long. She said unhappily, “Sheesh, you guys really like to get to the bottom of things.”
Even though she said that, she still said, “I didn’t mean anything else. I just heard something recently, so I was just expressing my feelings.”
Su Yang felt that it was an excuse so he continued asking, “What is it?”
Chu Xia said, “It’s about Xue Ya and Qu Xuan.”
Hearing Xue Ya and Qu Xuan, Su Yang frowned.
