191: Are all of these true?

"Ms. Lei, you... you're not joking, are you?" Wang Quanfu hesitated for a moment before tactfully expressing his doubt.

"Our company has also been researching solid-state lithium battery technology. You might not fully understand the difficulty involved; there are still many hurdles to overcome to reach mass production standards."

He was afraid that stating his disbelief directly would offend Lei Jun, so he could only use this method to remind her of the technology's complexity.

Lei Jun had already anticipated that he wouldn't believe her.

If she were in his shoes and heard someone say such a thing, she would also think it was a fantasy.

Her face remained expressionless, and she wasn't angry; she simply felt it was to be expected.

"I'm not joking," Lei Jun said calmly, taking a tablet out of her backpack.

Stored inside was technical data for future solid-state lithium battery technology exported from the system's knowledge base.

"Here is the technical data, including detailed parameters, production processes, and raw material formulas. You can look at it yourself or give it to your company's experts for verification."

As she spoke, she handed the tablet to Wang Quanfu.

Wang Quanfu took the tablet hesitantly, his fingers trembling slightly.

He glanced at Lei Jun first. The girl's face was still expressionless, her gaze calm yet radiating an unquestionable confidence.

He took a deep breath and clicked on the file in the tablet.

The first thing that caught his eye was the technical parameter table. With just one look, Wang Quanfu couldn't look away, and his breathing instantly became rapid.

A single cell energy density of 1500Wh/kg, a total vehicle range of 2000 kilometers, and no less than 1800 kilometers even with the air conditioning on in winter?

A 100% fast charge in 10 minutes?

All-solid-state electrolyte, no combustion or explosion even under nail penetration, crushing, 800°C high temperature, or -40°C low temperature tests?

Over 5000 charge-discharge cycles with a service life exceeding 15 years?

No need for rare metals like cobalt or nickel, with mass production costs 30% lower than existing ternary lithium batteries?

And it's compatible with existing production lines without needing large-scale modifications?

Wang Quanfu's heart began to pound wildly, his fingers were shaking, and his eyes were glued to every word on the screen, for fear that he had misread something.

How... how is this possible?

Every one of these parameters subverted his understanding of solid-state lithium batteries, and every one of them accurately hit the current pain points of the new energy vehicle industry.

If these parameters were real, then this battery wasn't just leading the world; it was directly leaping across an entire era!

BYD's current mainstay batteries only have an energy density of just over 300Wh/kg, a maximum range of 1000 kilometers, a minimum fast charge time of over half an hour, and costs remain high.

Compared to the battery in this data, they were practically children's toys.

Wang Quanfu's mind was in a state of chaos, with countless thoughts spinning inside.

Was what Lei Jun said true?

Did she really have such incredible technology?

What kind of research team did she have behind her?

To be able to develop such heaven-defying technology, the investment in capital and manpower must be astronomical, right?

If this data was real, then BYD would be completely set for success!

With this battery, BYD's problems with vehicle range anxiety, slow charging, and safety hazards could all be solved at once, and costs could be reduced by 30%.

When that time comes, competitors like Tesla, Volkswagen, and Toyota won't even be in the running. BYD could easily occupy the global new energy vehicle market and even disrupt the entire automotive industry, making internal combustion engine vehicles completely exit the stage of history.

Moreover, not needing large-scale modifications to production lines meant BYD could mass-produce this battery at the fastest speed and seize the market initiative.

In just a few years, BYD's market value could double several times over, making it a true global automotive giant.

The more Wang Quanfu thought about it, the more excited he became, his blood boiling throughout his body.

He looked up at Lei Jun, his eyes filled with shock, disbelief, and a hint of wild joy.

"Ms... Ms. Lei, is... is all of this real?"

Wang Quanfu's voice was trembling; he didn't dare believe it, yet he couldn't help but want to.

Lei Jun watched his reaction, her heart very calm.

She had known long ago what kind of impact this data would bring.

"Whether it's real or not, you'll know once you have your company's experts verify it. The technical data is complete, including mass production plans; they'll understand as soon as they see it."

"Good, good, good! I'll go right now!" Wang Quanfu could no longer sit still. He stood up abruptly, clutching the tablet tightly as if he were holding the most precious treasure in the world.

"Ms. Lei, please wait a moment. I'll have someone verify it immediately and give you an answer very soon!"

He even forgot to say goodbye to Lei Jun as he turned and walked quickly toward the door, his steps somewhat stumbling. He had only one thought in his mind: faster, even faster, get the experts to verify it quickly and confirm that this data is real!

Watching Wang Quanfu's hurried departure, Lei Jun picked up her teacup and took another sip.

She wasn't worried about the experts' verification results at all; the technical data provided by the system was absolutely authentic and feasible.

She had already begun to calculate the subsequent plans in her mind.

Once BYD confirmed the technology was feasible, they would immediately start preparations for mass production, while simultaneously having Alibaba's technical team step in to optimize the intelligent management of the production process.

She would have Xiaomi's marketing team plan ahead to build hype and publicity for the vehicle models equipped with the new battery.

The significance of this battery went far beyond the automotive industry.

With its high energy density, good safety performance, and low cost, it could also be applied in energy storage, drones, smartphones, and many other fields. Its future market potential was immeasurable.

Lei Jun leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes, mentally organizing the specific steps to integrate the resources of the three companies.

She now had the cards in her hand, and it was a winning hand. What she needed to do next was to play these cards well, not only to make her business empire grow larger and larger but also to drive the upgrade of the entire new energy industry and contribute to the country's technological development.

On the other side, Wang Quanfu took the tablet and ran all the way into BYD's core research and development center.

Seeing the chairman rush in so urgently, still clutching a tablet tightly, everyone was stunned, not knowing what had happened.

"Professor Zhang! Engineer Li! Engineer Wang! All of you, come over here!"

Wang Quanfu shouted the names of the core members of the R&D team, his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"There's some technical data here. You guys need to help verify it immediately!"

Professor Zhang was an authoritative expert in the field of battery research at BYD. He was nearly seventy years old and had spent his whole life dealing with batteries. Hearing Wang Quanfu's shout, he quickly put down his work and walked over. "President Wang, what data is so urgent?"

"See for yourselves!" Wang Quanfu handed the tablet to Professor Zhang and pointed at the file on it.

"This is the solid-state lithium battery technical data brought by Director Lei. Look and see if these parameters are real and if it can be mass-produced!"
