Chapter 616: New energy vehicle.

To date, Ye Qing has built a total of 1,000 plasma batteries. The batteries of Watcher III and Watcher X have been replaced by a plasma energy battery and can now run worry-free for a day. At the same time, Ye Qing also embarked on research into products derived from plasma batteries.Ye Qing thought of the Magic Cristal mobile phone, simply selling it with the dream screen or integrating the plasma battery into it, what is the best choice to create more economic value?But Ye Qing now faces a problem, industrial materials for making plasma batteries are not enough…….Just as carbon can be converted into diamonds, plasma battery converters also have this magical technological ability to change the properties of materials. But unlike the element carbon that can be seen everywhere, the materials to be converted into plasma batteries must be made up of a variety of metals and compounds, including several rare metals. Among them, the metal Dysprosium which is the rarest. The other metals are fine, they are a little more expensive, but the supply on the market is still sufficient. However, Dysprosium metal belongs to the rare metal which has so much market share, and there is no way to buy a large quantity.Maybe most people have never heard of this name.It is ranked # 66 on the periodic table and there is only one description in the periodic table, which is “hard to get”.Dysprosium is a silvery-white metal, soft in texture and conductive when close to absolute zero. Before the electronic revolution, the Dy was basically useless. But with the increasing advancement of science and technology, more and more uses of Dysprosium have been opened up. It can be used to make permanent magnet objects, to make new light source luminous bodies, to add to nuclear reactors to play a controlling role, and it can also be used as a catalyst, and so on.Now it has one more function, as one of the main materials of plasma batteries. The market price of Metal Dysprosium is 1600 dollars per kilogram, and a standard plasma battery requires one kilogram of metal dysprosium…….Previously, the Monster Heavy Industry Company searched for a ton of Dysprosium metal, which increased its price by 20%. Now to place a new order again. China Rare Metal Market said that if it is a jackpot, there will be a shortage of Dysprosium metal because other factories demand it, and they will be unable to get enough Dysprosium for its supply for the production and processing of the plasma battery…….It is not a question of money. Most of the Dysprosium Metal was in Monazite, and there is so much production capacity, and the Monster Heavy Industry suddenly needed a large amount of Dysprosium Metal, which couldn’t be available in a short period of time…….Of course, Ye Qing could also reduce the proportion of metallic Dysprosium to produce a shrunken version of the plasma battery.Dysprosium metal plays a catalytic and active role in it, and the minimum demand is 1% and the best demand is 10%.Monazite minerals are the most energy store in China, and Monster Heavy Industry has asked the Ministry of Geology and Mineral Resources to see if it can increase the refining capacity of the Dysprosium metal. However, the problem cannot be fixed in a short period of time. So, Ye Qing made the decision to research plasma battery derivative products first.The energy density in a plasma battery at this time is eight times that of a lithium battery with mature technology. So what can it be used for?Ye Qing was certain to apply it to the mobile phone Magic Cristal, but he should wait for the launch of the next generation. And it will also be incidental. The cell phone battery size is too small. It is enough to improve the competitiveness of the mobile phone Magic Cristal. If he wanted to make a lot of money, he would need to find a plasma battery that could take up a smaller volume.……Now, Ye Qing wants to orient its products towards the new energy vehicles which are very popular today! He thought about how a sedan could be fitted with eight full-size plasma batteries and a scaled-down version that had to be fitted with four plasma batteries.It’s a goal that excited Ye Qing when he thought of it; China is the world’s largest automobile market. However, almost all mid-to-high-end models over 150,000 Yuan are controlled by foreign-invested enterprises.Volkswagen, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, which one is unfamous? And they dominate the incredible Chinese car sales market.In the early years, domestically produced family cars were difficult to survive. In recent years, nationally made independent brands have made their fortunes in low-end models, but the auto market with over 150,000 Yuan is still completely lost.If a mid-range car is launched and these foreign brands are gradually sold, how exciting will it be?He was not sure about this project before, but after the release of the plasma battery, Ye Qing was quite sure. With the addition of the black sixth stage electromagnetic motor technology, Monster Heavy Industries will have no problem occupying the entire middle and high-end automobile market from over 200,000 Yuan to less than 500,000 Yuan. When the reputation of the car is well established, the launch of a luxury car worth more than one million Yuan will surely cause all foreign automobile brands to spew 30,000 liters of blood.The technology is available, and the qualification to produce station wagons is also applied, but Ye Qing still lacked the styling technology and the interior design of the car.”Boss, what do you think of that appearance?”In the secret lab under the Monster Industrial Building, Tianjin spent half an hour sketching a report of a sedan based on its own aesthetic. It was a cool sedan with avant-garde styling. The front air intakes are removed, only the air-cooled air intakes are kept on both sides, and the front spoiler, side skirts, and rear diffuser are installed. The front logo was naturally a majestic and mysterious metallic monster, four-wheel drive, and a panoramic sunroof. In the review, a suspension design was also used to integrate the windows on both sides of the car with the three-door pillars, which were full of science fiction.”The shape is Ok, do it first and take a look.” Ye Qing, who was setting up the power layout, nodded slightly.Tianjin quickly marked the size parameters, and in less than half an hour, the Master Metal Experts there used a fast 3D printer to print a composite plastic car shell of the same size. The computer automatically mixed and sprayed the paint, and when the painting was finished, the Master Metal Expert lifted it into the open space in front of Ye Qing.Five other models of car hulls with different shapes were also placed there. There was also an SUV hull model. He looked like a badass with thick edges and corners, and a height of almost half a yard. When people watch it, they’ll associate it with the majestic monster on the Monster Heavy Industry icon.”What about the design of the adjustable color glass, boss?” After finishing the rendering of the appearance, Tianjin looked into the details of the car: “This is the kind of technology that can automatically change the color of all glasses, including the front windshield.””I found out on the Internet that when Chinese citizens buy a car, 99% of them will go to the auto beauty salon and put a film of colored glass on the glass.”This question made Ye Qing a little embarrassed and coughed twice, because from the first Wuling Light to the current Lagonda and Mercedes-Benz, Ye Qing has put a film on the window.”Cool design. We human stick the film, the purpose is to block the glare of the sun, reduce the temperature in the car in summer, but also play a protective role. But at night, the colored glass film becomes a burden; it will reduce the brightness of the outdoor scene. This makes people unable to see the road conditions. “”Color-changing glass can be included as one of the must-have technologies, and all models should be equipped. It also requires a variety of color changes, filtering ultraviolet rays and filtering the brightness of road lights.””And automatic driving?”Tianjin shook his head triumphantly: “Before, my teacher and I studied image recognition technology in depth. The observer playing LOL relies on image recognition to function. If this technology is applied to driving. autonomous, it will undoubtedly crush all the technology of the autopilot.”Speaking of which, Tianjin showed he has made rapid progress in electronic information technology, and Ye Qing also wanted to thank him for his selfless teaching.”Yes Yes!” Tianjin’s ears pricked up even higher: “Well, you can study it.””But I’m good at it.” Ye Qing smiled triumphantly: “I asked the purchasing department to order a batch of luxury cars, including Bentley, Rolls Royce, Lamborghini, and Ferrari. The goods will arrive in a few days. Then we will study the automotive technology of the point therein.”
