Ye Zhou's idea of ​​having a mechanical exoskeleton was quickly passed by Chen Hao to the General Technical Office. Then, through the General Technical Office, this demand was conveyed to the Huaxia Weapon Group. The other party's reply was very simple:

At present, the design of mechanical exoskeletons in China has become more mature, and breakthrough progress can be achieved as long as energy problems are solved.

Therefore, based on this condition, the General Technical Office organized a trade union on the mechanical exoskeleton project and determined the basic goals.

In a short period of time, a mechanical exoskeleton device that meets the usage standards and can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is created. At the same time, in the future, a fully wrapped individual soldiers combat mecha will begin to be explored.

From Ye Zhou's perspective, the latter goal is temporarily unreliable. Now this era is an era where attack is greater than defense. No matter how thick the armor you design, you can automatically wear it with a large-diameter reverse equipment.

However, this is still a useful attempt. If breakthroughs in materials science can occur in the future, this thing can still play a certain role.

As for how to do it specifically, it is not something Ye Zhou needs to take care of.

Huaxia Ordnance Group will be fully responsible for this project. Once the battery is obtained, they will start adapting.

"The application range of your battery is much wider than I expected before... Now I'm starting to worry about production capacity."

Chen Hao hung up the conference call and turned around and said to Ye Zhou.

Ye Zhou nodded and replied:

"It is a good thing to have a wide range of applications. If there is no place to apply, then what should we do? In addition, there is no need to worry about production capacity."

"The General Technical Office authorizes the commercial operation according to the patent model. Believe me, these domestic manufacturers are faster than anyone else in making money."

"I understand, then follow this plan first."

While speaking, Chen Hao stood up and made a call to Ye Zhou, indicating that it was time to get off work.

It was six o'clock in the afternoon. Ye Zhou glanced at his watch and followed Chen Hao out of the door.

...

While China completed the first batch of battery trial production, the island countries' batteries have also left the production line, and each test has been completed, and the data has been presented to the leadership's desk.

"The energy density is 460wh/kg, very good, you guys do a good job!"

"If this data is real data, it means that our battery has doubled its performance compared to the current batteries on the market."

"This is enough for us to swallow the entire market!"

"Watanabe, are your release plan ready? We need to spread this news immediately and seize the initiative in the market!"

The man standing beside him quickly bowed slightly and replied:

"Mr. Shiraishi, everything is ready and we can release it anytime."

"Okay! Then now! Don't wait! Our customers are big companies in professional fields. They don't need any promotional plans. Just tell them this information. Go, Watanabe, and win this game for us!"

"yes!"

Watanabe answered loudly and then left the office.

Half an hour later, all major downstream manufacturers around the world received news from Panasonic's new battery release. These manufacturers replied to inquire about technical details. After learning the number "460", some small manufacturers even issued a po.

This is a revolutionary breakthrough, with the energy density of 460, which means that if the existing battery layout is based on the existing battery layout, the mileage of a tram can directly exceed 1,000 kilometers.

No one wants to miss this opportunity to embrace the future.

In the afternoon of the same day, the news released by Panasonic 46-x model battery began to ferment and was quickly passed on to other industries and other fields.

In the stock market, the stock prices of new energy vehicle companies and raw material lithium companies soared; in the futures market, the prices of related raw materials also strengthened, and the prices of raw material lithium once broke through the highest point of the year.

International crude oil prices fell sharply. On the day the news was finally confirmed, international oil prices had fallen by 12%.

This series of impacts has caused panic among international energy giants. They have issued statements pointing out that the purpose of crude oil is not only civilian fuel, but also many other chemical fields. A new energy battery will not have a fundamental impact on the supply and demand relationship between international crude oil.

However, no one listened to their explanation, because everyone could see how pale their explanation was.

Crude oil prices are still falling continuously. At the critical moment when it is about to fall below 20%, a piece of news from Aozhou ended the decline.

greenbushese announced that from now on, due to the increase in raw material mining and refining costs, the ex-factory price of raw material lithium will increase by 300% on the original basis.

Full 4 times.

The most important raw material for sulfur lithium batteries is lithium. If the price is increased four times, it means that the cost of a single battery will increase by more than three times.

Such a cost increase almost completely swallowed up the dividends brought by the improvement of battery performance, and for a moment, Panasonic was in chaos.

Shiraishi sat in the large conference room with frowns.

He had called Aozhou through his relationship to ask them about their intention to raise prices without warning, but their answers were extremely perfunctory, and at best they could say the words that had been said in the public statement again.

"Mr. Evans, I understand your company's business strategy, but at the same time, I also hope that your company can give us a reasonable explanation based on our good cooperation foundation and deep friendship."

"We have always been a high-quality customer of your company. We purchase a large amount of raw materials from your company every year - most of the cash we spend on raw materials goes to your company."

"This time our new battery is released, the technology in which we need a large amount of raw material lithium. In the foreseeable future, our cooperation will continue to deepen. So, I would like to ask you an answer on behalf of our entire company."

Hearing Shiraishi's words, the person on the other end of the phone sighed helplessly and replied:

"Mr. Shiraishi, I know you are very dissatisfied with the price increase this time, but, as we said, this is a decision that has to be made due to the reality of rising costs."

"We certainly hope to continue to work with you, and we hope that we can stand together and work together to achieve greater business results, but all this must be based on respect for each other's strategy."

"Also, here I want to give you a piece of advice: Don't treat our strategy as malicious, we are not targeting you."

Shiraishi listened silently, and after a long time, he finally spoke:

"Okay, I get it."

After saying that, he said goodbye politely and then hung up the phone.

He had already understood what the other party meant.

It is not aimed at our own side, it is aimed at China.

That’s right, like our own, Chinese companies are also conducting research on sulfur and lithium batteries, and their success is almost inevitable, and the only thing behind is time.

Once they also take out new batteries, the impact on this market will be extremely terrible.

Because, in their place, every blue ocean will turn into a red ocean in a very short time.

If they still use cheap high-density batteries to impact the energy market, it will definitely not only be the peers, but the entire energy industry chain - the energy industry chain with oil as the core.

The official of the Ugly Kingdom will not let such things happen, this is the fundamental reason for the price increase of greenbushese.

They just wanted to keep the oil price.

Thinking of this, Shiraishi sighed deeply.

He originally thought that this technological breakthrough would bring unparalleled advantages to his company, and even gained a certain degree of monopoly position, on par with the real giants in the world, but now it seems that it is not the case at all.

The power to make the rules of the game is firmly in the hands of the other party. If he wants you to play, let you play. If he doesn't want you to play, put a bunch of bad cards into your hand.

And you can't resist, you can only continue playing with this bad card.

Can you win bad cards?

Shiraishi shook his head secretly.

Maybe, but that's too difficult.

Just as he disbanded the meeting in disappointment, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind:

The real opponent of the Ugly Kingdom is Huaxia. So, what will the Chinese people do in this situation?
Chapter completed!
