Great country technology, I have a system where hard work pays off!

#269 - Second generation graphene supercapacitors

Currently, in the global market, the reason why electrically driven machinery hasn't become widespread enough to rival fuel-driven machinery is that fuel-driven equipment is more technologically mature, cheaper, and easier to refuel.

Electrically driven machinery, on the other hand, uses lithium batteries, which are quite expensive.

The cost of a battery pack alone can easily range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars, significantly increasing the cost of the machinery.

Ultimately, because lithium batteries take too long to charge and have short operating times, fuel-powered machinery dominates the market.

Some machinery uses a hybrid approach, with a fuel engine generating electricity to power an electric motor.

However, due to the complex structure and high maintenance difficulty, many people don't know how to repair these dangerous high-voltage machines, resulting in low sales and usage rates.

Now, if Geek Technology can truly develop electric cars using three-dimensional graphene supercapacitors,

the breakthroughs won't be limited to sedans and trucks but will extend to all machinery that can be electrically driven.

After all, the biggest advantage of three-dimensional graphene supercapacitors is their extremely fast charging speed; even for large machinery, a full charge takes only a few minutes.

With such a fast charging speed, coupled with the fact that large machinery doesn't have high requirements for space or weight, a large number of three-dimensional graphene supercapacitors can be stacked.

Even if the energy density of three-dimensional graphene supercapacitors is slightly lower, it's still acceptable.

After all, the energy density of BYD's lithium iron phosphate blade batteries in my previous life was only 140Wh/kg.

Compared to the minimum energy density of 180Wh/kg for ternary lithium batteries, it was incredibly low.

But even so, BYD's electric cars could still achieve a range of 700 kilometers.

This shows that a slightly lower energy density isn't a big deal; it just makes the car or machinery a bit heavier and the battery volume a bit larger.

Therefore, a lower energy density isn't a major issue, even if it's not as good as ternary lithium batteries.

At worst, the machinery will be a bit larger and heavier than other machinery.

In my previous life, the energy density of graphene supercapacitors was quite good, with various well-known research institutions achieving breakthroughs of over 70Wh/kg.

A few well-known research institutions even achieved energy densities of over 130Wh/kg for their graphene supercapacitors.

Unfortunately, the graphene supercapacitors they developed had various flaws, such as high cost, high manufacturing difficulty, or immature manufacturing processes.

Therefore, although a few well-known research institutions in my previous life developed powerful graphene supercapacitors, with the highest energy density reaching 170Wh/kg,

it must be admitted that the laboratory is the laboratory, and actual production is actual production; whether their scientific research achievements can be transformed into reality remains a significant problem.

Gao Nian, wanting to develop world-changing electric cars, will naturally face the same problem.

Gao Nian doesn't expect to develop an energy density of 170Wh/kg, but at least it must reach 100Wh/kg.

Therefore, Gao Nian's pressure is still not light, and the pressure is still very high.

Of course, let's not talk about distant things; after all, the negotiations are still ongoing.

So, after Gao Nian sneered, he placed the document on the desk in front of him and said:

"I'm sorry, we will not give up developing electric cars, nor will we pay the $5 billion anti-monopoly fine or admit that we are suspected of monopoly!"

"You!"

The negotiator's face immediately flashed with anger, but their professional training as a negotiator allowed them to quickly calm down, and then they said:

"Mr. Gao Nian, you may not know what your development of electric cars means to our Beautiful Country.

Let me put it this way: oil is the lifeblood of the dollar; if oil is no longer valuable, then the dollar is no longer valuable.

At that time, we will have no way to maintain our current high-cost military, global military bases, and expensive scientific research through printing dollars.

Therefore, the consequences of the collapse of the dollar are quite serious, and therefore, we absolutely cannot tolerate your large-scale development of electric cars.

After all, when there are more electric cars and various machines on the market, the demand for fuel will decrease,

ultimately making our dollar worthless.

Therefore, your continued development of electric cars is actually shaking our dollar's lifeline and shaking our national fortune.

Therefore, your research and development of electric cars, and vigorous manufacturing and sales of electric cars, will offend us, and we will not tolerate all of this from happening.

We will take all just and unjust means to打击 (dǎ jī, strike) your Geek Technology company; this is our attitude, and this is our decision!"

After speaking, the other party looked at Gao Nian with an arrogant expression, their eyes full of contempt, as if looking down at an ant.

For Beautiful Country, Geek Technology is just a small ant.

Now, Geek Technology dares to wave its ant limbs at a giant, which is simply provoking the giant.

If the giant really gets serious, then crushing Geek Technology is as easy as crushing an ant; this is the other party's confidence, and this is the source of their arrogant power.

This arrogant attitude made the people on Geek Technology's side feel angry, aggrieved, and deeply powerless.

After all, compared to Beautiful Country, Geek Technology is indeed just a small ant.

"Please go back; my decision is still not to compromise.

Unless you withdraw the anti-monopoly ruling, withdraw the punitive tariffs, and withdraw the entity list, we will not sell graphene film and three-dimensional graphene materials to Beautiful Country."

After speaking, Gao Nian waved his hand and then directly got up and left here.

The other party is a giant, that's right, but ants don't mean they have no fighting power.

After all, aren't there many people poisoned to death by ants every year?

Therefore, Geek Technology must be the most poisonous fire ant; even if it can't poison the other party to death, it must make the other party feel bone-deep pain!

Of course, whether it can do this requires Geek Technology to develop more core technologies.

After all, the future era is the era of technology; only by mastering more exclusive technologies can one become the dreaded poisonous fire ant.

"You will regret today's arrogant decision."

The negotiator, watching Gao Nian leave, said with a grim expression.
