171: Chapter 171 Superconducting Energy Storage Battery Unveiled! FRB Source Cosmic Radio Signals from Outer Space!
"Elder Yu is over at the nuclear research institute, talking every day about wanting to participate in the second phase of the Nantianmen Project."
"And just like that, as soon as the Controlled Nuclear Fusion power engine and the Superconducting Energy Storage Battery technologies made a breakthrough, he couldn't wait to come over from Lu City."
"Right now, he's waiting at the shipbuilding center to meet up with Elder Huang!"
The Fourth Leader pointed to the massive Penglai Shipbuilding Center by the sea and said to everyone with a smile: "Elder Cheng, on the other hand, is still holding down the fort at Project Houyi."
"Our China's Nuclear Commander won't be willing to leave until he sees the third-generation Controlled Nuclear Fusion come to life, haha!..."
Hearing this, Lin Mo smiled knowingly.
A few days ago, good news came from Xiang Guangming.
With the breakthroughs in the Controlled Nuclear Fusion power engine and the Superconducting Energy Storage Battery, the most critical core sub-technology for the "Xuanwu" fighter's power system had finally been unveiled!
Although the large fusion engine for the "Luan Bird" space carrier hadn't produced a prototype yet, due to the high overlap in technology, it could be considered a simultaneous breakthrough!
Upon receiving this news, Lin Mo was very happy.
For these past few days, he hadn't asked about the progress of Project Houyi. Now, it seemed that not only had Xiang Guangming and his team completed it with high quality and quantity, but they had even finished 10 days ahead of schedule!
It seems that Xiang Guangming, China's nuclear physics expert, really knows his stuff!
"Little Eight, when do you think this Superconducting Energy Storage Battery technology can start being used for civilian purposes?"
"This is a heavyweight technological product that can fundamentally change the quality of life for the Chinese people!"
When the conversation turned to the fusion engine and the superconducting battery, the Seventh Leader couldn't sit still anymore.
Lin Mo replied with a smile: "It will definitely be rolled out within next year. By then, you, Seventh Leader, will have plenty to keep you busy!"
"So fast? Good! That's great!"
"Being busy is nothing! I just hope to be even busier! Haha!..."
The Seventh Leader's eyes were full of anticipation.
The new technology of the Superconducting Energy Storage Battery could be called the ultimate "black technology."
After the relevant data on the battery's performance parameters was officially submitted to the Supreme Academy of China, the top leaders of China were overjoyed.
Compared to current traditional lithium battery technology, the Superconducting Energy Storage Battery achieved an all-around performance crushing, reaching a level of Science fiction!
There were three main aspects.
First, super-strong energy storage performance!
The first-generation superconducting battery made of Rare Metal Superconductor reached an energy density 25 times that of lithium batteries in the same volume!
And this was only because the Superconducting Energy Storage Battery had just been released, and the related technology was not yet mature!
As technology continues to iterate, the energy density of the superconducting battery will inevitably increase significantly, making reaching a hundred or even a thousand times that of lithium batteries no longer just a dream!
Second, super-fast charging performance!
The first charging experiment for the Superconducting Energy Storage Battery caused quite a joke.
At the time, after the researchers plugged the empty Superconducting Energy Storage Battery into the charger, the lab lights went pitch black for an instant, then flashed violently, giving the researchers in the room a huge scare.
A dozen seconds later, the lights stopped flashing.
The researchers hurriedly checked around but found no circuit problems.
Just then, when they turned back to check the superconducting battery, they suddenly discovered that the battery was already fully charged!
Upon learning this news, Xiang Guangming immediately rushed to the laboratory to conduct the charging test himself.
12 seconds!
To be precise, the average time to fully charge the battery across 120 charging experiments was 12.32 seconds!
You have to know, this first-generation battery in the lab was an oversized version!
If it were a regular battery designed for the market with less capacity, wouldn't that mean the battery would be fully charged just by completing the action of "plugging it in and pulling it out"?
Moreover, due to the characteristics of zero resistance and magnetic field energy storage, there was no sign of capacity degradation after hundreds of charge and discharge cycles!
If it were a regular lithium battery, it would have already shown a reduction in battery life!
It sounds magical, but reality is just that magical!
Third, super-strong safety performance!
The Superconducting Energy Storage Battery, which works on the principle of magnetic field inductance, does not have the risk of burning or exploding after impact like lithium batteries, making its application prospects even broader!
In summary, the release of the Superconducting Energy Storage Battery means that a earth-shattering revolution is about to occur in the battery field, and the entire human society will benefit from it!
If Controlled Nuclear Fusion is the key to unlocking the Fourth Industrial Revolution for human civilization, then the superconducting energy storage technology is the ladder to the heavens!
"Everything is ready, we only need the east wind!"
"Let's go, it's about time, everyone should have arrived by now."
Lin Mo surveyed his main workplace for the future from a high vantage point one last time, turned around, and called out with a smile.
"It is time to officially launch the new phase of the three major projects: Nantianmen, Classic of Mountains and Seas, and Penglai!"
...
Eagle Nation.
Pentagon.
Secretary of Defense Charles's face was terrifyingly gloomy after listening to Director Smith.
"Smith, do you mean to say that the top scientists from other Western Alliance countries have actually banded together and are unwilling to participate in our Eagle Nation's Avenger Project?"
"Yes..." Smith said helplessly.
"The last explosion incident caused the deaths of over 200 of Eagle Nation's top military-industrial scientists, making them gun-shy."
"However..."
"However what?"
"Those scientists haven't explicitly refused."
Smith said: "They only proposed that they want the sub-technologies of the Exoskeleton Armor that our Eagle Nation previously dismantled to be shared in advance so they can analyze and judge the risks."
"Only after determining that the risks are controllable will they continue to fulfill their contract and come; they won't decide to break the contract."
"Also, we need to pay more money."
Charles laughed out of extreme anger.
"Talking about being gun-shy, it's all just because the price isn't high enough!"
Smith asked: "Should we report this matter to Trump?"
After pondering for a moment, Charles waved his hand: "No need!"
"I can make the decision on this matter!"
"Just pass them the most useless of the 30-plus sub-technologies we previously dismantled."
"The matter of adding money is also negotiable."
Speaking of this, Charles's tone turned cold.
"Once these shameless scientists come to Eagle Nation, they will naturally know the price of provoking The Pentagon!"
Smith nodded.
"That's what I thought too. However much they eat, they have to spit out the same amount!"
Just then, hurried footsteps were heard.
"Secretary of Defense!"
"There is an urgent report with the highest security clearance!"
Seeing others in the office, the staff member hesitated.
"It's fine, just say it!"
The staff member swallowed his saliva: "It's from the anti-stealth radar research team, an urgent report regarding cosmic radio signals!"
