After hearing Wen Changhong's explanation, Wu Hao smiled and shook his head. He said slowly: "Director Wen, I understand your concerns about the price.
But the research and development costs for this new generation of super solid-state batteries are indeed very high.
We have invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to develop such high-performance batteries.
Therefore, the current price is the best price we can offer while ensuring quality."
He paused and continued: "Of course, if your demand is greater in the future, we can continue to improve production efficiency and further reduce production costs, so the price will naturally become cheaper.
Please rest assured that we are strictly following the relevant military product procurement and supply regulations, and the price is already very cheap.
After all, our goals are the same, which is to promote the advancement and development of naval technology."
Speaking of this, Wu Haotai said in a loud voice: "You know, these new energy automobile manufacturers are now eyeing our super solid-state battery products. If we launch it on the market, the price must be within the price we give you.
It’s basically doubled several times.”
As soon as Wu Hao finished speaking, there was a discussion in the conference room.
Everyone understands that what Wu Hao said is true. The development of high-performance batteries does require huge investment.
Moreover, they also know that the performance of this new generation of super solid-state batteries is indeed very good. If it can be applied to submarines, it will undoubtedly greatly improve the submarine's combat capabilities.
In addition, as Wu Hao said, if their new generation of super solid-state battery can be put on the market, its price will definitely be several times higher than it is now.
So, what else are they dissatisfied with?
Wen Changhong listened to Wu Hao's explanation and nodded to express his understanding. He thought for a moment and then said: "Sorry, Mr. Wu, I didn't think about it that much. I just thought this battery was too expensive and I didn't think about this one."
The cost of batteries will be so high.
Well, we can first sign a preliminary cooperation agreement to jointly carry out research on the application of a new generation of super solid-state batteries on submarines.
At the same time, I also hope that your company can continue to work hard to develop new technologies, reduce costs, and create more possibilities for our future cooperation."
After hearing Wen Changhong's suggestion, Wu Hao's eyes flashed with admiration. He smiled and said, "Okay, Director Wen, we will continue to work hard to develop new technologies and reduce costs.
At the same time, I very much look forward to in-depth cooperation with you to jointly promote the progress and development of naval technology."
After explaining this problem, Wu Hao immediately changed the topic and continued: "As for the maintenance and replacement problems caused by the integrated battery molding, this actually has advantages and disadvantages, and it depends on how you choose.
This one-piece super solid-state battery is itself a module that can be spliced and stacked to form a complete battery pack, and multiple battery packs can form a complete super solid-state battery energy storage power station.
This is the so-called modular design. The advantage of this design is that once a certain super solid-state battery in the battery pack has a problem, it can be repaired and replaced without replacing the entire battery pack, which greatly reduces the use and maintenance costs.
At the same time, this modular design can greatly increase the safety of these batteries, so that even if there is a problem with one battery, it will not affect other battery modules.
And even if there is a problem, it is very simple to deal with it. We only need to remove the battery modules with problems and throw them away. It is very simple, fast and safe."
At this point, Wu Hao glanced at Wen Changhong, and then said: "As for the problem of the battery being too heavy, this is indeed a point that needs attention.
However, there is often a certain trade-off between weight and energy density. If we want high energy storage density, we must work on the energy storage materials of the battery so that it can carry more power.
Therefore, there are very high requirements for energy storage materials, which naturally become heavier due to heating.
In addition, we know that everything has weight, and so does energy. So the greater the energy of the battery, the heavier the weight will naturally be."
Having said this, Wu Hao paused, glanced at everyone, and then softened his tone and said with a smile: "Of course, we are also aware of this problem and are actively researching new lightweight materials to maintain high energy density while maintaining high energy density.
, reduce the overall weight of the battery.
However, it is really difficult to find a breakthrough in this aspect, because it requires breaking through and challenging the limits of today's technology to a certain extent."
"As for the high temperature problem generated by the battery during high-voltage rapid charging and rapid discharging." Speaking of this, Wu Hao stopped, and under the gaze of everyone, he slowly took a sip of water before speaking.
"This should be said to be a common problem for all batteries. In comparison, our new generation of super solid-state batteries perform very well.
Of course, we cannot ignore this aspect just because of its excellent performance.
In particular, submarines have special combat missions and often encounter combat missions such as emergency dispatches, emergency operations, and high-speed maneuvers.
So we must pay attention to this problem and find a solution.
For our part, we are also exploring new materials and technologies to reduce the heat generated by batteries during operation.
At the same time, we are also researching efficient cooling systems."
Speaking of this, Wu Hao looked at Wen Changhong and said: "Actually, Director Wen, I think this problem is very easy to solve, because the submarine itself is immersed in seawater, and seawater is a very good cooling liquid.
You know, many high-tech companies now have their servers sunk into the sea and use seawater to cool them down."
Wu Hao's answers made the experts present nod frequently, with expressions of recognition and approval on their faces. Wu Hao's detailed explanations and simple expressions made these complex technical issues easy to understand.
Wu Hao smiled slightly and continued: "We can design a special cooling system that uses the part of the submarine shell that is in direct contact with seawater to conduct the heat generated by the battery into the seawater through a heat exchanger. In this way, it can not only effectively
Lowering the battery temperature can also ensure the stability of the submarine's internal environment."
He paused to give everyone time to digest this new idea, and then explained in detail: "Of course, this system requires precise design and control to ensure safe and reliable operation under various sea conditions. We can
Consider using an intelligent temperature control system to monitor battery temperature and seawater temperature in real time and automatically adjust the efficiency of the heat exchanger to achieve the best cooling effect."
