Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Metal-Air Batteries Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Metal-Air Batteries Editor: virtual group Before he arrived, experts in battery technology were already discussing and researching. “I still think that metal-air battery technology is not very feasible at this stage.” one expert said, “Discharge performance, energy efficiency, catalysts, air electrode design – we haven’t solved any of these issues yet.” “In the lab, we can make a simple version of the metal-air battery, but it will take at least ten years to mature for application!” “At this stage, it would be better to focus on developing all-solid-state battery technology!” Everyone actually agrees, not because they are timid or incompetent, but because time is pressing, and no one can guarantee that this technology can be developed in a short time. If the research and development at Tower Research Institute stalls at the beginning, wouldn’t they become a laughing stock? After some thought, He Xingzhou said: “Comrade He Xingzhou mentioned that he has relevant information, and if viable, we should still pursue the development path of metal-air batteries.” “It’s hard to say!” another expert said, “We are already at the forefront of research in this field.” “So far, I haven’t heard of any technological breakthroughs from any domestic or international peers. The top battery technology research in Huaxia is almost all done by us; where could there be any additional technological reserves?” The room fell silent, and at this moment, He Xingzhou knocked on the door and walked in, smiling, “Everyone is quite early; well, I have prepared the documents.” He held freshly printed documents in his hands, still smelling of ink. “You already have it?” He Xingzhou exclaimed, “Let me see!” “One copy each!” He Xingzhou printed multiple copies, each attendee took one to review. “‘Metal-Air Battery Design and Production Process’?” He Xingzhou carefully read on, finding a table of contents including technology information on Magnesium Air Battery, Aluminum Air Battery, Zinc Air Battery, and Lithium Air Battery. The introduction to these metal-air batteries’ principles was well known to them, but the challenges of these batteries were not found in the principles. At first, He Xingzhou and the others were skeptical, as the initial information was already known to them; could this technical data just be reiterating the known information? But when they reached the section on technical challenges, their views were completely overturned! “A newly designed protective film prevents electrode liquid infiltration!” “A new formula for organic electrolytes? Operating temperature already exceeding traditional power batteries!” “Catalyst improvement; recyclable hydrometallurgical design...” The more they read, the more horrified they became, even involuntarily exclaiming out loud; every major technological hurdle hindering the development of metal-air batteries was clearly spelled out in the document. The experimental substantiations and effect analyses made them have to believe that someone genuinely conducted experiments and obtained reliable conclusions and experimental products! “Snap!” He Xingzhou couldn’t help but slap the table, shouting: “Who is this genius? No, which team researched this?” “Yes, how could I not know that metal-air battery technology has made such tremendous progress? Why haven’t I heard any news before?” other experts also exclaimed. “All the critical challenges of these challenging metal-air batteries have been resolved; we don’t even need much effort to follow the design and produce usable, even commercial metal-air batteries!” “This is a revolution in the battery industry! There haven’t been major breakthroughs in battery technology for decades, and I didn’t expect to witness a new technology today!” As pioneers in the domain, they naturally understood the importance of this data! It can be said, the one who gets this data could easily become one of the top ten wealthiest globally, a magnate in the industry, and a star in the world of technology! He Xingzhou smiled, “Everyone, I can assure you, the information above is genuine and reliable. But the distance from industrial scale production and manufacturing is still significant. Many challenges may arise, and these, you will need to solve!” Confidently standing up, He Xingzhou exclaimed with excitement, “Director, leave it to us! With such detailed information, if we still can’t pull it off, I won’t have the face to stay here!” His address to He Xingzhou changed from comrade to director, showing his deep admiration and excitement! “Yes, this is our expertise; within a month, we will have a product ready!” the experts stood up one by one, asserting confidently. “Great!” He Xingzhou smiled, “Then I’ll leave it to you. These four types of metal-air batteries, oh, and also the nano-crystal solar battery, I hope you all can study them quickly, compare the pros and cons, and then apply them in practice.” “In addition, I need a Lithium Air Battery as the energy storage device for my Electromagnetic Floating Car, and nano-crystal solar battery panels as the power supply for the research institute’s power plant, are these feasible?” “No problem!” He Xingzhou assured, “We will definitely complete the task!” “Good, then you go ahead with your research; I still have other groups to brief,” He Xingzhou said. By this time, the battery technology group’s experts were already eager to start, gathering materials for experimentation. The information in the documents needed to be verified personally to confirm its accuracy, a necessity of rigorous scientific research. After finishing here, He Xingzhou went to check in with other groups, all of whom were planning their tasks. “Once the battery issue is resolved, the next step is the magnetic levitation motor.” He Xingzhou checked the tech tree, needing to unlock conventional motor technology and basic magnetic levitation technology before unlocking the magnetic levitation motor. It’s worth noting that if He Xingzhou directly acquired the related technology information, he could unlock the corresponding technology without consuming energy. And since these two foundational technologies are already mastered by Huaxia, He Xingzhou would bring the data for the Quantum Light Computer to read and directly unlock both basic technologies. “Magnetic levitation motor needs 100 energy units to unlock, and it will take about 4 days,” He Xingzhou thought, “Since that’s the case, I’ll make a video first.” In an office, Ding Yue set up the camera, and in front of the lens were He Xingzhou in casual attire and Xu Zhilan with an attractive figure and appealing looks. Both were pulled by He Xingzhou to assist and shoot the video. “Hello everyone, I’m He Xingzhou. This is my assistant, you can call her Yaoyao.” Yaoyao is the stage name Xu Zhilan chose because she prefers not to reveal her real name. “Today, we’re going to release a new video, teaching everyone how to make a brand new tech product!” “We previously teased that it’s about cars. I saw comments guessing it’s a model car, some homemade train, or a tricycle.” “Let’s broaden our horizons a bit, and not downplay the sophistication of Planet Builder. This time, the vehicle we’re making is something you often see in sci-fi movies, capable of levitating, unmanned, and surpassing the speed of sound—it’s the Electromagnetic Floating Car!”
