208: Let's try to stay home as much as possible these days.

BYD took advantage of the momentum to issue an announcement.

"Our company has obtained exclusive authorization for future solid-state lithium battery patent technology from our largest shareholder, Ms. Lei Jun. This technology will be fully applied to BYD's new energy vehicle models."

"The energy density of this battery cell reaches 1500Wh/kg, providing a comprehensive range of 2,000 kilometers for the entire vehicle, with a range of no less than 1,800 kilometers in winter with the air conditioning on."

"It supports 10-minute ultra-fast charging, which is more efficient than refueling..."

As soon as the announcement came out, the entire internet exploded.

A netizen named "Old Zhou the Driver" was scrolling through his phone and jumped up from the sofa the moment he saw the announcement.

"Holy crap! Is this real? 2,000 kilometers of range? 10-minute fast charging? Am I seeing this right?"

He had been driving new energy vehicles for three years, and his biggest headache was range anxiety. In winter, the range would be cut in half when the air conditioning was on, and every long-distance trip required queuing for charging at service areas, sometimes waiting for an hour or two.

"If this battery is truly mass-produced, will new energy vehicles even have any competitors? Lei Jun is just too divine!"

He quickly forwarded the announcement to his car owner group, already starting to plan for a car trade-in.

Xiao Lin, a recently graduated college student, was submitting resumes on his computer when he froze for a long time upon seeing the pushed news.

"A major shareholder in three trillion-dollar companies and she can still develop such incredible battery technology? Her looks are also top-tier; how on earth did she do it?"

Xiao Lin usually paid close attention to tech news and knew that solid-state batteries were an industry challenge that the whole world was racing to develop. He didn't expect it to be solved by such a young woman.

"This isn't just excellence; this is defying heaven, right? I feel like she's like a female protagonist in a novel, using every cheat code available!"

He couldn't help but flip through news related to Lei Jun. The more he looked, the more incredible it felt, and he eventually became a voluntary promoter for her, recommending her to friends everywhere.

Sister Zhang, an analyst in the new energy industry, was writing a report. Upon seeing the announcement, she quickly stopped her work and carefully studied the technical parameters: "An energy density of 1500Wh/kg with costs 30% lower... if this is mass-produced, the entire industry will have to be reshuffled!"

She had been in this industry for five years and had seen many technical breakthroughs, but she had never seen one so comprehensive. Range, fast charging, safety, and cost were all resolved.

"Lei Jun holds Ali, Xiaomi, and BYD, and now she has this battery technology. I'm afraid no one will be able to shake her position in the future."

She immediately adjusted her report's focus, making Lei Jun and this technology the primary subjects of analysis.

"This woman is too terrifying. She is practically the industry's 'disruptor' and its leader."

When Ms. Li, a stay-at-home mom, scrolled to the announcement while playing with her child in the park, her eyes lit up at the words 'safe and risk-free'.

"I was always worried about new energy vehicles spontaneously combusting and didn't dare let my child sit in them. If this battery is really that safe, I'll choose BYD when I change cars!"

She didn't understand technology, but she valued safety most. She already had a good impression of Lei Jun after seeing the news about her donating national treasures, and now with such reliable technology, her trust was complete.

Netizens' comments flooded the internet.

"Top-tier looks, incredible temperament, and a major shareholder in three trillion-dollar companies. Now she can even develop core technology. Does Lei Jun have any flaws at all?"

"I used to think she was just lucky to inherit family property, but I didn't expect her to be so capable! This battery technology—it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it changes the world, right?"

"2,000 kilometers of range plus 10-minute fast charging. No more queuing for charging on the highway in the future. This is amazing! BYD is going to take off this time!"

"Lei Jun is a true powerful woman, isn't she? Unlike some influencers who only rely on their looks, she uses her strength to conquer everyone!"

"I thought her donating two hundred million worth of national treasures was impressive before, but now it seems the value of this battery technology is much higher than national treasures. Think of how many people it can benefit!"

"Three trillion-dollar companies plus this heaven-defying technology, Lei Jun is definitely the richest person in the Dragon Kingdom, right? She might even rank high globally!"

"I've already started looking forward to the launch of cars equipped with this battery. I'll buy it no matter the price!"

"Perfect! Just perfect! I didn't expect such a girl to actually exist in reality!"

The more everyone discussed, the more excited they became. Several more related topics were added to the already high-ranking trending searches.

#Lei Jun's Solid-State Battery Technology Disrupts the Industry#

#BYD's 2,000km Range Models Are Coming#

#Lei Jun Perfect Goddess#

These topics rushed to the top of the trending list one after another, with discussion volumes instantly breaking 100 million.

Meanwhile, BYD's customer service lines were being overwhelmed.

"Hello, when will the models with the new battery be on the market?"

"Can the new battery really be fully charged in 10 minutes? Is the winter range really not reduced?"

"I want to pre-order one. How do I make an appointment?"

"Roughly how much will the new models cost? Can you give a general range?"

The customer service staff were frantic, having no time even for a sip of water, and could only patiently reply over and over.

"The specific launch time and price haven't been determined yet. Please follow our official announcements; we will notify everyone as soon as there is news."

...Meanwhile, Lei Jun was attending a lecture in a tiered classroom at Shanghai University.

This was a public elective course. Originally, not many people signed up for it. The tiered classroom could hold three hundred people, and in the past, it was at most half full.

But today, the entire classroom was packed so tightly that even the aisles were full of people. Some were even sitting at the door, peering in from afar.

Lei Jun frowned slightly, feeling somewhat helpless.

Ever since the news of her donating national treasures spread, she had become a complete celebrity.

She would be recognized wherever she went, either being surrounded by people wanting photos or being asked various questions. Even attending classes normally was affected.

"If I had known, I would have been more low-key back then."

Lei Jun thought to herself, but then she felt that donating national treasures was a good thing and being noticed was normal; it was just that this feeling of being stared at was indeed quite uncomfortable.

"I should stay in more lately. I'll just stay at school and finish my classes quietly."

The lecturer was Professor Li. He had been teaching this course for over a decade and had never seen such a lively scene.

He stood on the podium, looking at the students filling the classroom, including many unfamiliar faces, and was secretly amazed.

"Lei Jun's influence is just too strong, isn't it? Not just students from our school, but even those from other schools have run over here?"

But as a teacher, he hoped everyone could concentrate on the lesson.

Professor Li cleared his throat and tapped the podium: "Students, please be quiet. We are starting class. Whether you are here for the lecture or just to join the fun, please keep quiet and respect classroom discipline."

The classroom quieted down a bit, but many people still stole glances in Lei Jun's direction.

Professor Li sighed inwardly and began the lecture.

He lectured very devotedly, trying his best to make the content vivid and interesting to draw everyone's attention back to the class.

But he could feel that many people's minds weren't on the lesson at all, their gazes drifting toward Lei Jun from time to time.
