Xia Hong was stunned.
Xia Hong didn't want to emphasize the importance of energy anymore. This kind of technology would bring about revolutionary innovation whether it was for military or civilian use.
And Hua Xia seriously lacked the right to speak in the field of energy.
There was a lack of oil, backward engine technology, and backward battery technology.
Xia Hong had participated in several international energy conferences. When the representatives of the European and American countries saw Xia Hong, they all looked at him with disdain. When they discussed the energy development of various countries, they also had the attitude that Hua Xia only needed to listen and didn't need to participate in the discussion. This had nothing to do with them.
Why did he encounter such an indifferent attitude?
Naturally, it was because Hua Xia didn't have much of a say in the field of energy. Even those large "oil bosses" had their backs straighter than them.
Now, Monster Heavy Industries seemed to have developed an epoch-making energy battery that could make them straighten their backs like alloy steel. The meaning behind this could be understood by anyone with a little brain.
Wait ~
What did this young president say that this plasma battery couldn't be downshifted?
Xia Hong's head was hot and he was about to jump up and exclaim, "Why? If there are difficulties, we have to use 200% of our spirit to overcome them."
In the end, the young president's next sentence said that this was already the lowest grade of low-level plasma battery, and there was no way to downshift it. Xia Hong, who had suffered for decades, felt that his ears were hallucinating.
"Step by step, not the best product all at once. Monster Heavy Industries certainly understands this point." Ye Qing said, "But the plasma battery on the Thunderbolt car can no longer be lowered. Otherwise, it will enter an unstable state because of the lack of enough reaction material. "
Xia Hong nodded woodenly. Most objects or products had a minimum limit data. If the data was lower than this, many unexpected changes would occur. Just like alcohol with too low a degree couldn't be lit, and the fuel burning ratio was too low, the car would shake and stall.
"Then …" Xia Hong couldn't believe that happiness would suddenly come. "Mr. Ye, do you mean that there is a better product above this battery?"
"Above it, there is a luxury brand car equipped with an upgraded plasma battery."
Xia Hong was just about to say that the battery in the Thunderbolt car was excellent enough, and the two cars could share the same battery, but the young CEO shook his head with a smile.
"This is just the low-level and mid-level versions. We have even better technology." Ye Qing signaled Xia Hong not to get too excited. "If you need, you can order a premium plasma battery from here. The smallest size can be as small as a button."
Above … above the Thunderbolt car battery, there were intermediate and advanced versions that could … could be chosen. Xia Hong's heart was in turmoil upon hearing those words.
If he understood correctly, Monster Heavy Industries had already achieved a technological breakthrough that was at least 20 years ahead of foreign countries in terms of battery energy. Assuming that overseas battery technology was the Apple 3, then Monster Heavy Industries was the Apple 12. The gap between the two was so big that it made people despair.
How was this possible?
Energy technology was the scientific research behemoth of the 21st century. It would be good enough if there was a bubble after spending billions on it. Did Monster Heavy Industries obtain an alien technology inheritance?
"But …" Ye Qing interrupted Xia Hong's train of thought.
"Due to material and technical limitations, the production of the premium plasma battery may be slower. The technology can be improved by improving the equipment, but we can't get too many materials. "
Hearing this news, Xia Hong heaved a sigh of relief. If a large number of plasma batteries could be produced in a day, the materials would be easy to obtain. Instead, he was worried that foreign countries could easily crack this technology and develop the same product, thus closing the technological gap with Hua Xia.
Of course …
He didn't know that above the low-level, mid-level, and advanced versions of plasma batteries, there was a top-level version with far better performance than the previous ones. This was a plasma battery in the true sense of the black technology blueprint.
This was only reserved for personal use. It wasn't that Ye Qing was stingy, but it was too heaven-defying. It would attract the attention of other countries and cause an unimaginable sensation.
"What kind of materials are missing? Don't worry, leave it to us."
Xia Hong patted his chest confidently. Of course, he was more qualified than any material supplier to boast.
"I don't know if Director Xia has heard of dysprosium metal?"
"I've heard of it. Our Department of Energy has atomic energy units. They use these metals as reactants in the nuclear reactors they build." Xia Hong didn't know much about this rare metal, but it didn't matter. He could find a lot of people who knew about this metal.
"Dysprosium metal is an important material in plasma batteries. Its price is 1,600 yuan per kilogram. It's not expensive, but the global production of this metal is extremely limited. We don't have the channels to purchase this metal on a large scale. "
"It's an associated ore of monazite, so there's no way to specifically refine it. Our company has applied to the Ministry of Geology and Mineral Resources before, requesting them to expand production, but we haven't received a reply yet. "
"This group of bureaucrats is dawdling. Don't worry, Mr. Ye. Leave it to me. I promise to give you an answer within three days."
In this regard, Ye Qing just nodded with concern.
Ye Qing understood that dysprosium metal was not as simple as Xia Hong thought. The price of 1,600 yuan per kilogram was not too expensive, but it was based on the fact that dysprosium metal had not been found for large-scale industrial use. Now, Monster Heavy Industries had found another use for it and could digest the market share of dysprosium metal in the entire Hua Xia market.
Then, the price of dysprosium metal would rapidly rise.
In ancient times, diamonds were extremely strong and could not be cut or polished by any means, so its value was not comparable to a piece of ordinary jade. But in modern times, diamonds were a symbol of luxury and wealth.
The same principle applied to dysprosium metal.
It was associated with small amounts of monazite minerals, and monazite was one of the main minerals of rare earth metal mines. It was the top strategic material. From mining to refining, it was all planned and controlled by the state. Ye Qing could only rely on the Ministry of Geology and Mineral Resources to regulate dysprosium metal.
…
After chatting for more than an hour, Xia Hong left in a hurry.
When he left, Xia Hong felt that the soles of his feet were slipping and floating with pride. This trip to Zhongyun was so perfect that he couldn't even dream of it.
Hua Xia already had a "magical weapon" that could beat the world's battery technology. An indescribable excitement rose in Xia Hong's heart. He wanted to solve the problem of the supply of plasma battery materials as soon as possible.
Before he left, Xia Hong suddenly remembered something and asked Ye Qing one last key question.
He asked how much the Thunderbolt car would cost after it went on the market. It was the high-end version with a seat massage function.
Before he got the answer, Xia Hong was also nervous and prayed that the price would not be too expensive. It was not that he could not afford it, but if the price was too high, like a Mercedes-Benz or a Rolls-Royce, he would not be able to drive it himself.
If the Thunderbolt was a car worth a few million, he would have the opportunity to sit in it. But if he wanted to drive one himself, he would not be able to live with his future.
After he got the answer, Xia Hong smiled happily the whole way. (To be continued …)
