Daguo Science and Technology started from the copycat system

However, although Lin Chen chose ternary lithium batteries, Lin Chen also decided not to go through the big pit that Daxia went through in his previous life.

After all, as an employee in his previous life, Lin Chen knew that the electric vehicle industry in Daxia had suffered from the pitfalls of the skyrocketing lithium mines and the pitfalls of ternary lithium batteries.

As for the pitfalls of ternary lithium batteries?

As the name suggests, the ternary lithium battery is a cathode material composed of three elements: nickel, cobalt and manganese. In its previous life, it was developed with the rapid development of electric vehicles in Daxia.

The metal prices of these three elements have all skyrocketed. Among them, the skyrocketing of cobalt ore, which is already scarce, has been the most severe.

In the previous life, the price of cobalt in a ternary lithium battery accounted for 40% of the total cost. It can be said that the world has been suffering from "cobalt" for a long time.

Therefore, when Lin Chen develops ternary lithium batteries, he must first avoid the element cobalt and develop cobalt-free ternary lithium batteries.

As for whether it can be done, of course it can be done.

After all, cobalt itself does not participate in electrochemical reactions. Its role is to provide a stable layered structure of the material, which can improve the cycle and rate performance of the material.

Lin Chen, who has a virtual laboratory, can use clever design or use other things to replace the role of cobalt to create cobalt-free and safe ternary lithium batteries.

The pitfall after this is that the scarcity of lithium resources has caused prices to skyrocket to unreasonable levels.

In previous lives, unscrupulous overseas businessmen deliberately drove up lithium prices, causing global lithium battery prices to skyrocket.

This time, Lin Chen decided to prepare in advance and set up a research and development team for fully automated lithium extraction equipment from salt lake brine.

After all, domestic lithium mines are mainly salt lake brine. If you want to prevent lithium prices from skyrocketing to an unacceptable level like in previous generations, you must be able to produce your own lithium resources, at least to meet the needs of Sugon Technology.

In this way, the price of lithium has been reduced. In the future, it will be the most reasonable arrangement to produce some of the lithium metal domestically and purchase large quantities of lithium metal from abroad.

Among them, Sugon Technology may be able to buy several lithium mines and directly create a self-sufficient lithium resource industry chain closed loop.

On the other side, people at this time obviously didn't know what Lin Chen was thinking.

When they saw Lin Chen suddenly paused after saying something, they did not interrupt Lin Chen's thoughts, but waited quietly for Lin Chen.

And Lin Chen did not surprise them as they expected. Lin Chen just paused and quickly came to his senses, and then said:

“If a home robot is to be developed, I will fully participate in the project. After all, the materials and high-energy lithium batteries obtained through research and development can make us a lot of profit.

In addition, we also need to establish a project to develop fully autonomous electric vehicles, because once we successfully develop high-energy lithium batteries, it will not be difficult to develop fully autonomous electric vehicles.

Daxia is a country with scarce oil, and overseas oil has long accounted for more than 70%.

It can be said that if overseas oil supply is cut off, then 70% of our vehicles will be forced to stop running, and the entire country will naturally be in chaos. "

After hearing Lin Chen's words, everyone at the scene couldn't help but look solemn.

After all, what Lin Chen said is indeed true. Daxia does rely on imports for 70% of its oil. If Daxia cannot purchase oil, it will be a disaster.

"I agree with the development of electric cars. After all, 70% of the oil lifeblood of cars is controlled by overseas hands. This is really terrible."

Ni Guangnan, head of Sugon R\u0026D Center, expressed his views.

Hearing this, Lu Weibing, the person in charge of Shuguang Construction on the other side, also spoke in agreement:

“Indeed, our energy lifeline cannot be controlled by overseas countries. Anyway, we have developed electric vehicles, and it should not be a problem to apply them to engineering robots in the future.

If this can be done, our construction costs will be greatly reduced. After all, the biggest cost of using engineering robots is the cost of fuel. "

Hearing Lu Weibing's words, Li Qianqiang, the sales director of Sugon Technology, seemed to have thought of something, and then said with an unhappy face:

“Speaking of it, the pure compression ignition gasoline engine we developed has indeed changed the world, directly reducing the gasoline consumption of global cars by half.

But in fact, the pure compression ignition gasoline engine we invented is not as great a benefit to the people of the world as imagined, because the oil consumption has been reduced by half.

But those damn oil companies have done the despicable act of reducing oil production and then raising prices. In circles, we have succeeded in reducing oil consumption.

However, the actual price of gasoline has only dropped by 20% compared to before, and the maximum is less than 30%. It is impossible to achieve the goal of halving the price of gasoline! "

Hearing Li Qianqiang's words, the CEOs at the scene all nodded slightly. After all, they all own cars and are naturally familiar with the changes in oil prices.

It can only be said that ginger is still spicy. Do you think that you can reduce global oil prices by developing a pure compression ignition gasoline engine that can reduce fuel consumption by more than half?

In fact, those gasoline giants will tell you not to think too much. They simply stopped producing half of their oil production, making your dreams come to nothing.

Of course, Sugon Technology cannot be said to have failed to change the world. After all, the demand for oil has indeed been cut in half, which has led to an increase in the voice of many small oil companies.

After all, there is only so much demand. You oil giant can indeed significantly reduce your oil output, but other small and medium-sized oil companies also want to sell their own oil.

Therefore, after some turbulent changes in the market, the price of oil dropped by an average of 20% compared to before, reaching 30% at the peak.

"I also agree with the development of electric vehicles. After all, the cost of using electricity is definitely lower than using oil. This is a good thing for the people."

Lin Bin, the person in charge of rice mobile phones, also expressed his views.

Then the people on the scene expressed their opinions one after another, and after that, other issues began.

In this meeting, Lin Chen made the decision to develop industrial robots, then apply them internally, and finally adopt a human-machine integrated production model.

After that, Lin Chen also decided to initiate a project to develop agricultural robots, hoping to solve the problem of rural farmland being abandoned in the future.

In the end, Lin Chen decided to start researching and developing home robots to solve the material and energy problems of home robots.

It was also decided to develop electric vehicles, in which Lin Chen would occasionally go over to provide guidance on research and development work, but Lin Chen's main task was still on home robots.

So starting from today, Lin Chen's mission is to fully develop home robots, and then assist in the research and development of controllable nuclear fusion technology and fully autonomous electric vehicle technology.

As for other aspects of research, that is not what Lin Chen needs to do. Now that Shuguang R\u0026D Center has so many scientific researchers and academicians, it is time to play their role.

If they can't do it, don't blame Lin Chen for eliminating them.

After all, Sugon Technology is already in the lead. If they can't continue to maintain their lead by giving people money, then they can be eliminated.
