11: Chapter 11 The US is stunned! Its new energy hegemony has been shattered in one punch!

"Elder Chen, aren't you exaggerating? What kind of technology could warrant such a high evaluation?" Academician Wang Haoran's voice sounded particularly grating at this moment.

Academician Wang Haoran's words carried a hint of arrogance and disdain. However, when Lin Yun stood calmly in front of the large screen and recounted one subversive technical detail after another, the air in the conference room seemed to freeze. Lin Yun ignored Academician Wang Haoran's pale face; he simply picked up the remote control and turned the PPT to the next page.

On the screen, a picture of the actual product appeared abruptly. It was a seemingly ordinary black block, not much larger than a mobile phone, but next to it were marked several breathtaking statistics: [Weight: 230g] [Capacity: 10000mAh] [Energy Density: 1500Wh/kg] [Cycle Life: >5000 times] [Charging Speed: Fully charged in 10 minutes].

"Fellow Academicians, this is the first-generation engineering prototype we have manufactured based on our theoretical framework." Lin Yun's voice was like morning dew, gentle yet possessing an unshakable power. "It has already passed various rigorous tests at the National Key Laboratory, including extreme environmental tests such as high and low-temperature charging and discharging, puncture, compression, and seawater immersion."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the blank expressions of everyone in the conference room. "Currently, this technology has already achieved pilot production. According to feedback from the production line, the initial yield rate can reach over 90%, and it is expected that within one year, the cost can be controlled to within 20% of existing lithium batteries."

Silence. A deathly silence. Academician Wang Haoran opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found his throat too dry to make a sound. All of his previous doubts and disdain had been ruthlessly smashed to pieces by those cold, hard data on the screen and Lin Yun's tone, which sounded like he was reading out a verdict!

This was not theory! This was not science fiction! This was a living, breathing reality already placed before them! An energy density of 1500Wh/kg! What kind of concept was that? It was six or seven times that of the best existing lithium iron phosphate batteries! It was two or three times that of ternary lithium batteries! A cycle life of 5000 times, equivalent to charging and discharging once a day, meant it could be used for over thirteen years! Fully charged in 10 minutes—this simply broke through all of humanity's imagination regarding batteries!

"This... this is impossible!" Someone let out a desperate low roar. The voice was filled with disbelief and self-doubt.

"Everyone, this is just the preliminary result." Lin Yun spoke again, his tone still flat, yet it made everyone present tremble violently in their hearts. "Next, with the further iteration of the technology, breaking through an energy density of 2000Wh/kg, or even higher, is just a matter of time."

Academician Wang Haoran, this titan who had struggled in the battery field for most of his life, felt his worldview collapsing at this moment. The knowledge system he prided himself on was as fragile as paper in front of Lin Yun. Lin Yun was not discussing technology with him; he was using the simplest and most direct way to tell him that everything he knew was wrong!

Elder Chen stood up. Looking at the shocked, ecstatic, and even somewhat fearful expressions of all the experts present, an uncontrollable excitement welled up in his heart. He knew that the Dragon Kingdom was truly about to see a change in the skies!

"Fellow Academicians, now, please establish a dedicated project team as quickly as possible to fully push forward the mass production and application of this technology." Elder Chen's voice carried an unquestionable majesty. "Funding? No upper limit! Talent? Prioritize deployment! There is only one goal: to let this technology benefit the whole country and change the world as quickly as possible!"

He looked at Lin Yun, his eyes filled with admiration. "Comrade Lin Yun, you have once again established immortal merits for the Dragon Kingdom! The country and the people will always remember you!"

Lin Yun just nodded slightly; he knew this was only the beginning. The real show was still to come.

Just as the discussion in the conference room was in full swing regarding the application prospects of this "epoch-making" technology, far across the ocean, in the highest energy strategy conference room of Eagle Sauce Country, the atmosphere was terrifyingly oppressive.

"Report, Mr. President, we have received some unofficial news from inside the Dragon Kingdom." An intelligence officer in military uniform reported with a grave expression: "According to reliable intelligence, the Dragon Kingdom has made breakthrough progress in all-solid-state lithium-air battery technology. Its energy density, cycle life, and charging speed all far exceed our expectations."

"Breakthrough progress? What kind of breakthrough progress could they have?" Mr. President, a middle-aged white man with a paunch, sneered dismissively. His fingers tapped rhythmically on the table. "It's nothing more than some exaggerated propaganda offensive, trying to gain some bargaining chips internationally. The Dragon Kingdom has always been a follower in the new energy field; how could they possibly shock the world?"

"But Mr. President, the source of this news is very reliable, and... the data is very shocking." The intelligence officer broke into a sweat. "It is rumored that their engineering prototype has already reached an energy density of 1500Wh/kg and has achieved pilot production. It can be fully charged within 10 minutes."

"What?!" The fountain pen in Mr. President's hand fell to the floor with a "clatter." His obese body sprang up from his chair, and his face, which had been full of confidence, was now filled with shock and disbelief. "1500Wh/kg? Fully charged in 10 minutes? Are you playing some international joke? This is simply a plot from a science fiction movie!"

The Secretary of Energy sitting next to him, a thin, white-haired old man, was also frightened pale. As an authority in the energy field, he knew all too well what this meant!

"If this is true, it means that the new energy hegemony we are so proud of will be shattered by a single punch from the Dragon Kingdom!" The Secretary of Energy's voice trembled, his eyes filled with terror. "This is not just a technological breakthrough; this is a complete reshuffling of the global energy landscape! It will also cause unprecedented shock to our petrodollar system!"

"Immediately! Right now! Use all of our intelligence networks and investigate for me! Find out the authenticity of this technology, find out the source of their technology, find out... who exactly is supporting them behind the scenes!" Mr. President's tone already carried a hint of hysteria. "We absolutely cannot let the Dragon Kingdom lead us in this kind of subversive technology! Absolutely not!"

He slammed his fist on the table with a loud "bang." However, he knew that no matter how angry he was, the Dragon Kingdom's punch had likely already landed solidly.

An unprecedented global energy revolution, "conceived" by Lin Yun's casual hand, had quietly begun. At this moment, Lin Yun was sitting calmly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his villa, holding a cup of clear tea, looking towards the direction of the capital, with a playful curve at the corner of his mouth.

He knew that the next "surprise" was not far off. Eagle Sauce Country, your good days are still ahead!
