As soon as they heard Zou Xiaodong's words, Wu Hao and the others began to share the same hatred. Indeed, this kind of people are the most hateful, but there are so many of them and they are pervasive. Moreover, they are not easy to control. If they are a little stricter, these people will have a structure.
Then came the Western stuff.
Finally, Wu Hao waved his hand and said: "Whatever, just be ourselves. In the long run, intelligent drone production factories will definitely replace the current labor-intensive factories. This is inevitable and necessary."
However, this process is long after all and needs to be advanced slowly and evolved slowly. If it is done too hastily, it will cause too much reaction.
So, it’s not easy to be a first-timer.
It is precisely because of this that we have to bring in more people and companies to share the pressure for us."
But if our smart unmanned factory technology spreads out, the advantages we have may be gone. Zou Xiaodong worried.
Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "No, what we are currently opening up is the first generation technology, or one and a half generations of technology, so what if we are developing second generation technology.
Our technology R&D team has already begun to develop third-generation technology and has made great progress.
The production efficiency of the third-generation technology will be doubled compared to the second-generation technology, requiring fewer personnel, and even daily maintenance and repair personnel may not be needed. All will be controlled and managed by the artificial intelligence system.
Moreover, technology is in our hands, patents are in our hands, and standards are in our hands, so how can they compete with us."
After hearing his explanation, Zou Xiaodong nodded in approval.
After taking a sip of tea, Wu Hao continued: "At the battery factory, during the Chinese New Year holiday, we can organize technicians to carry out inspection and maintenance, as well as the upgrade, optimization and improvement of related production lines.
We strive to be able to produce normally after returning to work in the coming year.
At present, external demand for our batteries is strong, especially for third-generation new lithium batteries, and we need to increase production to meet the current market demand for this high-end new lithium battery."
Do you want to increase production? Zou Xiaodong asked.
Wu Hao nodded, but then shook his head and said: "Increase production appropriately, but not too much. At present, our external supplier is still the second generation of new lithium batteries. If the third generation increases production, it will affect
The market sales of second-generation batteries are equivalent to destroying our own jobs.
In addition, we also have to give other battery manufacturers some ways to survive, because they are still producing our first-generation new lithium batteries."
So what about the new fourth-generation lithium battery? When do you plan to put it into production? Zou Xiaodong asked him.
When Wu Hao heard this, he waved and said, "There's no rush at all. Store it first and release it when needed. This is the last major performance improvement in lithium battery technology. Basically, it has almost reached the end of the new lithium battery industry."
The potential has been fully tapped.”
Hearing what he said, Zhang Jun immediately asked: "Do you mean that after the release of the fourth generation of new lithium battery technology, we began to turn to super solid-state batteries."
When Wu Hao heard this, he sighed and said, "That's about right. We still have to negotiate with the relevant departments and leaders for details."
Although he just said a simple sentence, everyone understood what he meant. At present, this super solid-state battery technology is still strictly confidential and is an important control technology and product. It cannot be mass-produced, let alone
Open to the outside world for supply.
They have tried small-scale mass production before and applied it to their newly proposed smart AR sunglasses. But it was only small-scale mass production, and due to technology export restrictions, the overseas export version of this smart AR sunglasses currently uses
It is still the third generation of new lithium battery.
And this small-scale production has also been stopped because of concerns that the technology, especially the formula and process, may be leaked, so it was "recommended" to stop by the relevant departments.
Speaking of batteries, Yang Fan, who had been silent, suddenly said: "A few days ago, a new graphene battery developed by a scientific research team composed of laboratories in the United States and many Western countries has completed relevant experiments.
We are currently working in the laboratory and have started to move into trial production.
If successful, it may break our current monopoly of new lithium batteries on global high-end lithium batteries."
Is the new graphene battery reliable? Zhang Jun couldn't help but ask.
Yang Fan nodded and said seriously: "It should be very reliable. Judging from the information disclosed by the current team, they have approached several key issues of graphene batteries and achieved significant results, so they are now launching trials.
Production is now a success and there are no problems."
As for the raw material of graphene, how did they solve this problem? Wu Hao thought for a while and asked.
The biggest problem with graphene batteries is not its own technology, but the scarcity of raw materials. Graphene raw materials are very scarce, so they are expensive to produce. This is also an important problem that has prevented it from leaving the laboratory.
Yang Fan shook his head: "There is relatively little information disclosed in this area. Judging from the information disclosed so far, they still have not mastered the new graphene preparation method. They are still using the original methods, but they have made innovations in this.
It should be able to increase production.
In addition, it is necessary to build more factories, use a few vehicles used in Western countries, and build raw material factories in third countries, using the low production costs there to provide high-quality raw materials for their production.
It is said that some people have already flown to Southeast Asia, South America, and Africa to conduct factory site inspections."
How big a threat does this battery pose to us? Zhang Jun said impatiently.
Yang Fan shook his head: "I don't know, the information we have now is very limited, so we can't make an estimate.
They have just solved the problem from scratch. The successful development of this graphene lithium battery means that they can get rid of us and have their own high-performance batteries.
However, if you want to commercialize this new graphene battery on a large scale, you have to look at the manufacturing cost.
If the raw material and manufacturing costs are too high, this battery will not be cheap and will naturally not threaten our existing high-end battery market.
Of course, even if they solve the problem of high raw material and production costs, their impact on us will be very limited.
Because in itself, our battery technology is not bad. The performance of their new graphene battery can be compared with our third-generation new lithium battery, or at most the fourth-generation new lithium battery.
On top of this, we also have super solid-state batteries and second-generation super solid-state batteries.
And they are not the only ones who are engaged in the research and development of graphene battery technology, we are also engaged in it, and the results are not bad."
