22: Chapter 22 All-Solid-State Battery Preheating

3:00 PM.

In Su Fan's office, both Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhang Minghan were present.

Su Fan spoke up, "Xiaoxiao, I have some news for you: our all-solid-state battery has been successfully developed."

Zhou Xiaoxiao was stunned. "So fast!"

"How does it compare to the batteries on the market?"

Su Fan and Zhang Minghan shared a smile. "It completely crushes them; its performance is over ten or even twenty times better."

Zhou Xiaoxiao's cute eyes widened. To develop such an incredible battery in just two weeks—Su Fan was truly amazing.

"The problem now is how to sell the battery once it's produced."

"This is a market-disrupting product. Once it's launched, the battery companies on the market will be completely reshuffled." Su Fan tapped his finger on the desk.

"No, not just battery companies. Fuel-powered vehicle manufacturers and the two oil giants will also be severely affected."

"I have an idea. Everyone, listen and see if it's feasible."

Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhang Minghan nodded.

"On the market, we'll first launch a downgraded version of the all-solid-state battery with an energy density of 1 kWh per kilogram."

"We'll see the market reaction first before making further arrangements," Su Fan continued.

Making a downgraded version was simple. During the battery's development, there were plenty of downgraded prototypes; any one of them could crush any battery currently on the market.

"President Su, I have something to say!" Zhang Minghan raised his hand.

"During our experiments, the lowest energy density among the prototypes was 1.5 kWh per kilogram. Should we research one that is exactly 1 kWh?"

Su Fan shook his head speechlessly. "No need, just use that 1.5 kWh one. The others are all weaklings; none of them can put up a fight. It's lonely at the top!"

Zhou Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Su Fan and giggled.

Zhang Minghan, on the other hand, almost grinned from ear to ear.

"The new battery launch event will be held in three days. Over the next two days, I'll post the news on super god photo editing and cute pet paradise."

"We need to build an official website and set up accounts on all the major social media platforms." Su Fan thought for a moment and said, "Xiaoxiao and I will host the launch event. It doesn't need to be very long."

"The bigger the event, the shorter it should be. That's how you maintain prestige."

Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhang Minghan took notes frantically.

"Nurturing talent is also very important. Dr. Zhang, please mentor those six graduate students and teach them the synthesis methods for all materials except for the special compound solution."

"I'll teach you how to operate the production line in a bit, and then you can teach them later," Su Fan added.

Zhang Minghan nodded. He understood Su Fan's meaning: the special compound solution had to be kept under tight control; it was their core technology.

"One last thing." Su Fan paused. "Does anyone have any suggestions for the name of the all-solid-state battery?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she immediately chimed in, "I have a name!"

Su Fan and Zhang Minghan immediately listened intently.

"The full name is Super God all-solid-state battery 1.5, or Super God Battery 1.5 for short."

"In the future, if we release all-solid-state batteries with different energy densities, we can name them sequentially: Super God Solid-State Battery 2.0, 3.0, 5.0, and so on."

Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at Su Fan expectantly. Since she couldn't participate in the battery's R&D, if her naming convention was adopted, it would still be like going down in history. Hee hee.

"Alright, we'll use that naming convention. Great job, Beauty Zhou!" Su Fan gave her a thumbs up.

"Hmph! You're annoying!"

"I declare today's meeting adjourned! Everyone, get back to work."

In that small office, a meeting of just three people had decided the future of the entire battery industry!

Su Fan returned to his office and had the Red Queen build an official website for Super God Technology, and also had her register accounts for Super God Technology on all major information platforms.

Then, he had the Red Queen post the news of the all-solid-state battery launch event on super god photo editing and cute pet paradise, inviting the battery industry and the Xia Country media to attend.

The user base of super god photo editing had reached 300 million. Since hitting that mark, growth had slowed. Su Fan knew that in the Xia Country market, this user base had pretty much peaked.

cute pet paradise had also reached 200 million users. After all, the gaming community was relatively smaller, so 200 million was about the peak.

Combined, the two software programs now generated an average daily revenue of 500 million.

Setting aside the revenue for a moment.

With such a massive user base, Su Fan believed the buzz around the Super God Battery would definitely be high.

And the reality was close to what he expected, or even higher.

The parent company of super god photo editing is making batteries!

"Holy crap, they're actually making batteries! Aren't they a software company? Why are they getting into energy?"

"I don't know. Probably just burning money because they have too much."

"Stop being so salty, poster above. Investing money into real industry to benefit the country and the people after getting rich is a thousand times better than those who just think about moving abroad!"

"Agreed!"

"I agree with both hands and feet!"

"The notice says the launch event is in three days in Ningcheng, Lu Province. Anyone want to go together?"

"Where is Ningcheng?"

"The Hometown of Confucius and Mencius. Haven't you heard of it?"

"I'll go too! I know that place. It's the Capital of the Ancient Canal. Zengzi's hometown is in a county in Ningcheng, I think it's called Jiaxiang."

"Can any expert explain what the 'all-solid-state battery' in the notice means?"

"Over 1 kWh per kilogram—what level is that? Is it better than Denning Era's batteries?"

"If it really reaches 1 kWh per kilogram, Denning Era's batteries wouldn't even be fit to hold its shoes!"

"Super God Company is just bragging and playing the gimmick game again. The maximum theoretical density of solid-state batteries can only reach 0.9 kWh per kilogram!"

"The poster above is narrow-minded. Nothing is impossible in science!"

"The poster above must only be an elementary school graduate. Do you even know what 1 kWh per kilogram means? The best semi-solid-state battery currently mass-producible is only 0.36 kWh per kilogram. This is triple that—I don't believe it!"

"I believe it! Any girls from Jinling want to form a group and go together? I have a big RV!"

"Gege, take me with you! Mwah!"

"Get lost! No crossdressers allowed!"

...

Because of the massive user base, the news that Super God Company, the parent company of super god photo editing, had developed a solid-state battery with 1 kWh per kilogram immediately shot to the top of the trending searches!

Denning Era, company headquarters.

Chairman Jian Yuhua called an emergency meeting. All company executives who were present attended.

Jian Yuhua had a serious expression. When he saw that everyone had arrived, he cleared his throat and said, "Have you all seen the notice from Super God Company?"

The executives all nodded in unison.

Nonsense—when the chairman asks like that, you have to nod even if you haven't heard of it.

"Very good!"

"Xiao Wang, project the notice onto the big screen so everyone can take a closer look," Jian Yuhua called out to his assistant.

The notice released by Super God Company soon appeared on the screen.

Some executives truly knew about it, while others had just seen it.

"Does anyone have any thoughts?" Jian Yuhua said solemnly.

They all looked at each other; they were all shrewd individuals. Finally, everyone turned their gaze toward the General Manager.

The General Manager coughed lightly and said, "I'll just share a few initial thoughts to get the ball rolling."
