188: 188. Turn the table

Qin Tian was a little nervous at first, but after he started speaking, he calmed down. He said directly, "Thank you all for your attention. Today, we don't tell stories; we only look at data, and we only look at the future."

He didn't waste time on pleasantries, cutting straight to the chase and showcasing the astonishing results of their technological iteration.

A square object, as thin as a cicada's wing and almost transparent, was carefully picked up by a robotic arm.

The camera quickly zoomed in for a close-up, and the bullet comments in the live stream instantly thinned out as everyone wondered.

"What is this? Wrapping paper?"

"It seems... there's nothing there?"

"Is Professor Qin performing magic?"

Qin Tian placed this 'film' on a specially made base on the display stand, which had precise scale markings.

Under the high-definition camera, the film, with its metallic sheen, became clear. Its thinness, compared to the adjacent ruler, was astounding.

"This is the first application direction of our Tingfeng Energy technology... miniaturization."

Qin Tian's tone was calm but carried an undeniable power: "This is a complete solid-state battery. Its thickness is 1.2 millimeters."

Many netizens' eyes widened.

"How much? 1.2 mm?? Thinner than my phone SIM card?!"

"How much power can that hold? Lighting an LED light would be a stretch, wouldn't it?"

As if anticipating the audience's questions, Qin Tian began his demonstration.

He connected this cicada-wing-thin battery to a smartwatch model nearby. Instantly, the watch face lit up, the screen displayed vibrant colors, and it ran smoothly.

"As you can see, it powers this smartwatch. And at such a size, it can provide more than three times the battery life of conventional batteries. More importantly, it is absolutely safe, can be bent, and can even be implanted in the human body, providing long-lasting and reliable energy for future medical devices, IoT sensors, and even flexible electronic devices we can't yet imagine."

He picked up the battery and gently bent it. In the footage, the battery remained intact, and the watch continued to function normally.

The live stream instantly exploded!

"Holy cow! As thin as paper! And it can bend! Is this a sci-fi movie?"

"Smartwatch battery life tripled? Mom no longer has to worry about me charging it once a day!"

"Implanted in the human body? This technology is terrifying! But it's also amazing!"

"Batteries have evolved to this extent now? It's simply incredible!"

Just as the bullet comments were going wild for the miniature battery, Qin Tian changed his tone, his voice full of power:

"However, miniaturization is just one exploration of our technological frontier. It's just an appetizer. Next, is the core of our announcement today. Please allow me to show you what will change the future of mobility... the automotive-grade all-solid-state power battery, the Jinwu 2.0 Battery!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the huge screen behind him suddenly lit up!

The scene switched to a futuristic laboratory environment. In the center, a silver-black battery pack, about the size of a suitcase and gleaming with a cold metallic light, slowly rotated.

Everyone's breath seemed to catch.

The netizens who were just marveling at the miniature battery were instantly drawn to this even bigger revelation.

Qin Tian's voice, clear and powerful, resonated through the microphone across the entire live stream: "I know what you all care about most... Don't worry, the data speaks for itself."

Stirring background music played, and a series of shocking data appeared clearly on the screen:

[Comprehensive Range: ≥ 1000 km+]

[Ultra-Fast Charging: 10 minutes, 400 km range]

[Absolute Safety: Physical properties ensure no spontaneous combustion, no explosion...]

To substantiate this astonishing data, the screen quickly switched.

A laboratory surveillance video showed a cruel test where a steel needle pierced the battery, and the voltage and temperature curves showed no fluctuations.

A high-temperature furnace experiment showed the battery remained stable under extreme heat.

An extrusion and shear test showed the battery structure remained intact, without any abnormalities.

Finally, there was a mixed-cut video of real-vehicle road tests, with different car models speeding across various road conditions. The remaining range displayed on the dashboards remained stubbornly high, to an outrageous degree.

The executives of traditional battery companies, who were secretly watching, all stood up abruptly, their pupils contracting.

"Crazy... What is he trying to do!? Flip the table?!"

Qin Tian stood beside the screen, his voice carrying the solemnity of announcing a new era: "These are not theoretical laboratory data; these are realities that have been repeatedly verified and are about to go into mass production!"

"We believe that this battery will not only redefine electric vehicles, but in the future, it will also contribute disruptive power to our nation's energy security and green mobility!"

The entire internet erupted! Emotions reached their climax!

"A thousand kilometers?! My gas tank full can't even go that far!"

"Four hundred kilometers in ten minutes?! Is that faster than me queuing up at the gas station?! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Never spontaneously combust!!! The biggest nightmare of electric vehicles has been solved?!"

"They're crazy! Everyone's gone crazy! The coffin lid of gasoline cars has been nailed shut!"

"Industry earthquake! No! It's industry destruction! This technology is a dimensionality reduction attack!"

"Four hundred kilometers in ten minutes, and as safe as a rock... Please mass produce it quickly! I'll sell my gasoline car immediately!"

"Awesome, this time it's truly far ahead! Tingfeng Energy is awesome! Professor Qin is awesome!"

"..."

Within the industry, a magnitude 10 earthquake was triggered. All industry insiders watching the press conference, whether battery experts, car company executives, or engineers, were collectively speechless, their faces extremely grim.

Some dropped their coffee cups to the floor, oblivious; others suddenly stood up from their seats, staring intently at the screen; some slid from their chairs to the floor, their faces pale.

They had investigated Qin Tian, so they knew that he was not one to exaggerate.

This was no longer competition; this was crushing.

A colossal wave, sweeping across the global energy and transportation industries, had been violently unleashed by Tingfeng Energy at this moment!

...Meanwhile, in a heavily guarded, very low-key internal conference room.

A meeting on the national new energy industry strategic layout was underway.

The attendees were high-ranking officials, seriously discussing contact with Tingfeng Capital (Energy), preparing to include it in the national support list.

"This company has huge technological potential, and the National Security has already investigated its background... Although there were some... surprises, it's completely clean. According to standard procedures, we'll first send a research team to Jiangcheng in a week for a meeting to understand their cooperation intentions."

The leader chairing the meeting made a cautious decision.

Just as the meeting was about to conclude, the conference room door was gently pushed open, and a staff member quickly entered, leaning in to whisper a few words to the presiding leader and handing over a tablet computer.

The leader frowned slightly, took the tablet, and gestured for the staff member to project the screen onto the large display.

Immediately, Qin Tian's calm yet excited voice and the striking data on the screen filled the entire serious conference room.

When they saw keywords like "1000 km+ range," "400 km in 10 minutes charging," and "never spontaneously combust," the entire conference room fell into a dead silence.

All attendees, including the presiding leader who had seen many storms, stared at the screen in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.

The situation... had changed!
