132: Dry cell battery research succeeded

“Cicada—Cicada—”

“Cicada—Cicada—”

“Cicada—Cicada—”

Xu Bai felt drowsy listening to the cicadas.

He had some kind of problem; he simply couldn't get energized or focus on research during the day, so he could only do it at night.

It was mainly due to habit; he felt that daytime didn't belong to him, and only the night was his own time.

At the same time, Xu Bai felt his mind was more active at night, and his research progressed more smoothly.

So, Xu Bai usually woke up around noon, took Xu Le and Fugui to the small shop, where the two of them played while Xu Bai watched the shop and rested.

If you asked if this was too tiring.

No, it wasn't tiring at all.

Haha, for Xu Bai now, working was not tiring at all, because he was the boss… A month later, Xu Bai stretched, twisted his neck, and heard a cracking sound.

He held that position for a few minutes before lowering his hands and sitting back down.

Once his body relaxed, he let out a series of exclamations.

“I finally made it!”

“I’m really awesome!”

“I am the master of electricity!”

...Xu Bai seemed to want to express his recent agitated inner feelings through these words.

He had encountered many problems recently, but thankfully, he persevered.

This month, Xu Bai taught his three young apprentices, visited the Card Maker Guild branch weekly to check materials, consulted Wu Zijin, and conducted his own research. The research was the hardest part; it almost made him bald.

He truly wished he could split himself into four parts to use!

Fortunately, this month of hard work was not in vain; the results were gratifying, he had finally made the Dry Battery.

cards Name: Zinc-Manganese Dry Battery

cards Level: Five-Star cards

cards Description: A disposable chemical power source that generates electrical energy through chemical reactions.

Usages: 5 times

By making this cards, Xu Bai jumped from Three-Star Card Maker to Five-Star Card Maker, which was quite unexpected for him; he had thought he could only level up one by one.

As the saying goes, perseverance is victory, and now it was time for him to enjoy the fruits of victory.

Now that the Dry Battery was made, he could relax.

Because he had already created the fan cards, which was quite easy to make. The only difference was that others converted mechanical energy into wind energy, while he could now convert electrical energy into wind energy.

What was he waiting for now!

Xu Bai directly took out the Dry Battery, inserted it into the specially designed slot behind the fan, and pressed the button. The fan started to move exactly as Xu Bai had anticipated.

No surprises, perfect!

(*^▽^*)

Feeling the cool breeze from the fan, Xu Bai felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey.

He had accomplished a major task, and at the same time, Xu Bai was filled with hope for developing a modern society… Initially, he had wanted to use his mental power to link two cardss and merge them into one, which would eliminate the need to install batteries.

However, doing so would have two disadvantages.

Firstly, the cost would skyrocket, consuming more star energy stones. Although he wasn't that short of them, saving a little was always better.

Secondly, it would be very wasteful. If they were combined, customers would directly discard the fan along with the battery once the battery ran out.

Xu Bai shook his head, thinking this wouldn't work, so it was better to produce the Dry Battery and the product separately.

This way, the battery could be used in different products later, and the product's lifespan would also be relatively longer.

At the same time, because the battery was a Five-Star cards, it could also be recharged to increase its usage, which was very convenient… The Dry Battery was now made, but testing the Dry Battery still needed to be done.

Xu Bai needed to spend a few days testing the Dry Battery, evaluating its performance, quality, and safety.

If these didn't meet the standards, he wouldn't dare let others use it; if someone died, whose fault would it be?

For the current Dry Battery, Xu Bai had designed square batteries, Size D batteries, Size C batteries, Size AA batteries, and Size AAA batteries, based on the standards of his previous life.

Although he wasn't clear about the reasons for these specific sizes, he believed that such regulations were definitely the optimal solution made by the country to balance various demands, so he could just use them as a reference.

In this other world, he had created the Dry Battery, and he also hoped to preserve some of these designs, making it feel as if the two worlds were constantly overlapping… Two more days passed, and Xu Bai finally confirmed that the Dry Battery he made could be used and was safe for normal use.

When taken out, it could withstand temperatures from minus 40 degrees Celsius to plus 60 degrees Celsius. Unless someone threw it into a fire or other extreme environments, it could be used in most scenarios.

At the same time, because it was a Dry Battery Card, it had a very good advantage: there was no need to worry about daily storage and transportation.

Xu Bai's understanding was that the cards contained a static space where things would not change over time.

Therefore, if an electrical appliance was not used for a long time, the battery could even be removed and placed back into the cards.

This method was simply perfect; it could avoid many accidents and save a lot of effort.

During these two days, Xu Bai also thought about who to cooperate with.

Firstly, he only considered the Dry Battery, as this Dry Battery was the core of all products. At the same time, he read newspapers every day and knew how urgent the world was for new energy, so he definitely had to take the lion's share.

Also, the current battery research was only one stage; further research and updates would be needed later.

Actually, at first, he thought of cooperating with the Riyao Group, the Zhao Group, and the Good Taste Group, with whom he had previously cooperated.

After all, their previous cooperation on the Glazed series had been relatively smooth, they understood each other, and he had received the first batch of dividends, which was over 20 million.

However, he later thought that the current world was not very safe, those groups might not be able to protect him well, and at the same time, there were many people within the groups, making it difficult to keep secrets.

After thinking so much, what Xu Bai truly wanted now were only two things: one was safety, and the other was Guild Points.

And neither of these could be achieved by simple money, meaning he should best seek cooperation with the country and the Card Maker Guild.

Tianlong Republic? Card Maker Guild?

Xu Bai's understanding of these two was not very deep at the moment.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai wanted to inquire Wu Zijin about the relationship between the two.

If the two had a bad relationship and could not cooperate, Xu Bai would be very sad. If they were connected, then everyone would be happy.

At the same time, he also remembered Wu Zijin's meaningful gaze when he had previously asked him why the Card Maker Guild headquarters was not in the capital.
