Chapter 964: The Challenger Appears

As soon as they heard Zou Xiaodong's words, Wu Hao and the others began to hate the same enemy. Indeed, this kind of person is the most hateful, but there are many of them, and they are pervasive. And it's not easy to manage, a little stricter, these people have a structure again, and then there is a set of things thrown out of the West.

In the end, Wu Hao waved his hand and said, "Mind him, just do our best." In the long run, intelligent drone production plants will inevitably replace the current labor-intensive factories, which is inevitable and necessary.

It's just that this process is long after all, and it needs to be slowly advanced and evolved. If you rush it, it will cause too much reaction.

So, it's not easy to be a bird.

Officially, because of this, we have to bring in more people and companies to share the pressure for us. ”

But once our intelligent unmanned factory technology spreads, the advantages we have may be gone. Zou Xiaodong worried.

Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "No, what we are currently opening up is the first generation of technology, or a generation and a half of technology, even if it is the development of the second generation of technology."

Our technical R&D team has already started to develop the third generation of technology, and has made great progress.

The production efficiency of the third-generation technology will be doubled compared with the second-generation technology, and fewer personnel will be required, and even daily maintenance and repair personnel can be dispensed without, all controlled and managed by the artificial intelligence system.

And the technology is in our hands, the patents are in our hands, the standards are in our hands, how can they compete with us. ”

Hearing his explanation, Zou Xiaodong nodded in approval.

After taking a sip of tea, Wu Hao continued: "Here in the battery factory, during the New Year holiday, you can organize technical personnel to carry out overhaul and maintenance, and upgrade and optimize the improvement of related production lines.

Strive to be able to produce normally after going to work in the coming year.

At present, our batteries are in strong demand, especially in the third generation of new lithium batteries, and we need to increase production to meet the current market demand for this high-end new lithium battery. ”

Do you mean to increase production? Zou Xiaodong asked.

Wu Hao nodded, but shook his head again and said, "Increase the output appropriately, but not too much." At present, our external supply is still the second generation of new lithium batteries, if the third generation increases production, it will affect the market sales of the second generation of batteries, which is tantamount to smashing our own jobs.

In addition, we also have to give other battery manufacturers some way to live, and they are still producing our first generation of new lithium batteries. ”

So what about the fourth generation of new lithium batteries, when do you plan to put them into production? Zou Xiaodong asked at him.

Wu Hao waved his way when he heard this: "This is not in a hurry at all, let's store it first, and wait for it to be released when needed." This is the last major performance improvement in lithium battery technology, and the potential of the new lithium battery has basically been tapped. ”

Hearing him say this, Zhang Jun immediately asked: "Do you mean that after the release of the fourth generation of new lithium battery technology, it began to turn to super solid-state batteries?" ”

Wu Hao sighed when he heard this and said, "It's almost, you have to negotiate with the relevant departments and leaders for details." ”

Although he only said a simple sentence, everyone understood the meaning of his words. At present, this super solid-state battery technology is still strictly confidential, and it is an important control technology and product, which cannot be mass-produced, let alone supplied to the outside world.

Previously, they tried small-scale mass production and applied it to their newly proposed smart AR sunglasses. But it is only a small-scale mass production, and because of technical export restrictions, the overseas export version of this smart AR sunglasses is still used in the third generation of new lithium batteries.

And this small-scale production has also been stopped, because of the fear of the risk that the technology, especially the recipe and process, may be leaked, so it has been "advised" by the relevant authorities to stop.

Speaking of batteries, Yang Fan, who has not spoken much on the side, suddenly said loudly: "A few days ago, the new graphene battery developed by the scientific research team composed of laboratories in the United States and many Western countries has completed the relevant laboratory work and has begun to transfer to trial production.

If successful, it may break the monopoly of our current new lithium battery for the world's high-end lithium battery. ”

New graphene battery, is it reliable? Zhang Jun couldn't help asking.

Yang Fan nodded and said seriously: "It should be very reliable, judging from the news disclosed by the current team, they have approached several key problems of graphene batteries and achieved significant results, so it is a matter of course to put into trial production at this time, and there is no problem." ”

That graphene raw material, how did they solve this aspect. Wu Hao thought for a moment and asked.

The biggest problem of graphene batteries is not in its own technology, but in the scarcity of raw materials. Graphene raw materials are very scarce, so they are expensive, which is also an important problem that has caused it to not be able to get out of the laboratory.

Yang Fan shook his head: "There is relatively little news disclosed in this regard, judging from the current disclosed news, they should still not have mastered the new graphene preparation method, or the original methods, but they have innovated on this, and they should be able to increase the output."

In addition, more factories are being built, using a few that have worked in Western countries, and new raw material factories in third countries, taking advantage of the low production costs there to provide them with high-quality raw materials.

It is said that people have already flown to Southeast Asia, South America, and Africa to inspect the location of factories. ”

How much of a threat does this battery pose to us? Zhang Jun said a little impatiently.

Yang Fan shook his head: "I don't know, the information we have now is still very limited, so we can't make an estimate."

They are now just solving the problem from scratch, and the successful development of this graphene lithium battery means that they can get rid of the high-performance battery we have.

However, if you want to commercialize this new graphene battery on a large scale, then it depends on the manufacturing cost.

If the raw materials and manufacturing costs are too high, this battery will not be cheap, and naturally it will not threaten our existing high-end battery market.

Of course, even if they solve the problem of high raw material and production costs, the impact on us will be very limited.

Because of itself, our battery technology is not bad. In terms of the performance of their new graphene battery, it can also be compared with our third-generation new lithium battery, or at most the fourth-generation new lithium battery.

And on top of that, we also have super solid-state batteries, and second-generation super solid-state batteries.

And they are not the only ones engaged in the research and development of graphene battery technology, we are also engaged in it, and it is not bad. ”
