705: Chapter 705: Masterminding from the Command Tent!

A Genius of the Ages!

Raise your arms and shout!

Burst with joy!

The staff, as if they had discovered a new world, were wildly excited.

Earlier, they had been called here overnight to discuss the development and current situation of the new energy and new materials industry.

They had even brought in a lot of sophisticated testing equipment, and everyone had still been kept in the dark, not knowing what they were supposed to do.

But now…

The Graphene Composite Battery brought by Wu Jie was truly an eye-opener for them.

Tan couldn’t sit still either and immediately went to join the commotion.

“What’s the situation?

Is this battery any good?”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than an elderly staff member with white hair said excitedly:

“Good!

Especially good!

After preliminary testing, all the technical indicators blow the current most advanced batteries out of the water!”

“It’s just a pity that the sample quantity is still too small; otherwise, we could conduct more tests!”

“Thorough tests on charge-discharge rates, cycle numbers, extreme operating temperature environments, and overload resistance, among others, could be done.”

“If the test results are all outstanding and environmentally friendly, that would truly herald a major energy revolution!”

“It’s just not clear whether the manufacturing process is green, or if the costs are prohibitive; if it’s too expensive or too polluting, it’s not practical for usage!”

“This battery couldn’t possibly be developed domestically, could it?

Which developed country’s latest technological achievement is it?”

…

Several staff members were all talking at once, each more excited than the last.

The wide applications and economic value of batteries are self-evident, and modern society simply cannot do without them.

But the increasing severity of environmental pollution and the gradual depletion of oil resources have been constantly spurring scientists on.

Everyone is eager to develop new, clean, green, and pollution-free energy sources.

However, be it wind power, hydropower, nuclear power, or solar energy…

There have been endless methods of generating electricity, but there hasn’t been much progress in batteries used for energy storage.

Even the power batteries used in today’s electric vehicles have disadvantages such as slow charging, low energy density, and a limited number of cycles, and they pollute the environment during their production and disposal.

The so-called clean energy is actually not green or clean at all and has been widely criticized.

But now…

The Graphene Composite Battery brought by Wu Jie has given the leading industry experts and authorities, the staff, a glimpse of hope for electric vehicles to replace fuel vehicles.

In the midst of everyone’s discussion, Tan quickly understood the specifics of the situation.

Wu Jie didn’t step forward to interfere; there was no need to meddle until the testing was completed.

Moreover…

Black technology, exchanged from the system mall for three million energy points—could it possibly be trash?

If the results show that the performance is not outstanding, wouldn’t that be slapping the system in the face?

Of course!

In fact, such battery technology is not even the most advanced in the system mall.

Using chemical means to store electrical energy is in itself a sign of being outdated.

The truly clean, natural, and pollution-free controlled nuclear fusion technology that humankind dreams of, which can release enormous amounts of energy without any radioactive pollution, is also not especially amazing.

What technology is truly incredible?

The Ion Thrust Engine, the Gravitational Field Generator, the Space Transition Engine…

These technologies, which can be used for interstellar travel to move between different star systems, are what would be called black tech.

It’s just a pity that Wu Jie’s current energy points are too few, just over six hundred million.

With so few energy points, don’t even dream of super black technology.

The nuclear fusion engine technology could be exchanged, but what was Wu Jie going to do with it?

Get a spacecraft and casually visit the Moon or Mars?

Although Wu Jie also coveted the other more amazing high-tech products in the system mall,

The pressing matter at hand was to earn more energy points.

It’s like window-shopping at the mall or a car show; no matter how many things you like, it’s useless without money to buy them.

Rather than just standing there gawking, it’s better to roll up your sleeves and get to work, to earn more money.

Of course.

For Wu Jie, that meant earning more energy points.

And the system’s requirements for him were extremely relaxed and simple.

It did not arbitrarily assign any tasks or set up various tricky problems.

The only mission was to encourage the host, Wu Jie, to keep earning more energy points.

After reaching certain target amounts, he would also be given rewards and chances to draw prizes.

A truly ‘Buddha-like’ black technology system.

Although the system did not urge him with other tasks, energy points were too convenient to use, and Wu Jie himself wanted to earn more by all means.

At the moment.

This Graphene Composite Battery was making the staff green with envy.

They didn’t earn high salaries or benefits, but they held high social status; thus, just a bit of envy was worth dozens of energy points.

But to get them to hate…

clearly impossible, after all, they were allies!

“Hey, kid, what are you zoning out for?

Come over here!”

Tan called with a beaming smile on his face.

Wu Jie snapped back to reality, tossed away the apple core, and stepped forward.

“Did you get this battery from abroad?

Or did you come up with it on your own by a sudden stroke of inspiration?”

“The technical indicators are incredible!

It’s just a pity that there’s only one piece; if there were more, we could conduct additional tests!”

“Its performance is quite impressive; what did you use for the anode and cathode materials and the electrolyte?”

“The battery energy management chip you installed—what is it made of?

The embedded system, did you write it yourself?”

“Can we access the management port?

We want to obtain the energy consumption output curve.”

…

As soon as Wu Jie came up, the staff surrounded him.

All sorts of professional terms flew about.

What defines a staff member?

Of course, it’s being an absolute technical authority and the strongest scientific researcher in a particular industry field that qualifies one as a staff member.

And their unanimous praise certainly proves that this battery is indeed quite impressive.

After all.

Tan didn’t believe that Wu Jie could predict the future and bribe each and every staff member beforehand.

Moreover, they were all summoned by Tan on the spot and had definitely not met Wu Jie before; they couldn’t possibly conspire to trick him.

Quietly stepping aside with a smile at the corner of his lips and a look of affection and admiration in his eyes, Tan watched Wu Jie interact with the numerous staff members.

“Tsk tsk!

What an accomplishment for someone so young!

What do you call a once-in-a-lifetime genius?

This is it!”

“Not only is he incredibly skilled in network technology, but he’s also crossed over into the new energy industry and created an exceptionally powerful battery!”

“My grandson, if he had even one-tenth of Wu Jie’s talent, wouldn’t still be toiling in obscurity in a research institute to this day!”

“Comparing people can be so disheartening; not everything should be about sorting into levels of superiority or inferiority.

There are natural gaps between individuals!”

…

Tan’s eyes were full of indulgence, reflecting his appreciation and love for talent.

Being unable to contribute to such specialized conversations, he simply returned to his seat,

slowly sipping tea while pondering Wu Jie’s marketing plan.

What if battery exchange stations could be as widespread as gas stations across the country?

What if electric cars could swap batteries as quickly and conveniently as fuel cars refuel?

What if batteries could give electric cars a range that’s in no way inferior to that of fuel vehicles?

What if…

The more Tan mulled over these points, the more astounded he became.

Once these ‘ifs’ become reality, they would have a tremendous impact on the current economic structure of the nation.

Automobiles, energy, chemical, logistics…

even national defense and military industries.

Wu Jie’s battery would inevitably unleash a superstorm that would deal a significant blow to many existing industries.

Those who adapt to technological advances and ride the wave of tech trends would undoubtedly grow stronger.

Conversely, those who fail to adapt would face business declines, profit slumps, and even bankruptcies.

Tan wasn’t too worried about the automotive industry.

After all, domestic cars, although rapidly developing, are still dominated by established foreign brands.

Wu Jie’s high-performance batteries could also aid domestic cars in staging a comeback against the developed nations.

It would absorb many workers into the electric vehicle industry and the job market for battery exchange stations.

It would benefit the industries of battery fabrication and recycling, vehicle design and manufacturing, maintenance, metallurgical chemistry, and new materials.

This was an excellent opportunity to enhance national manufacturing and strengthen the domestic automobile industry, but it would inevitably face fierce competition from international brands.

What concerned Tan the most was the direct impact on the oil industry.

It was the countless oil and chemical enterprises, and the fuel and gas stations spread across the nation.

…

If privately owned cars, trucks, buses, and taxis no longer used fuel or gas,

how many employees would be laid off and unemployed?

The price of fuel and natural gas isn’t cheap because they are heavily taxed.

Take the gasoline and diesel commonly used by the public, for example.

Value-added tax, consumption tax, urban maintenance and construction tax, educational surtax, corporate income tax, import tariffs…

Roughly half of the fuel price consists of taxes.

If people stopped refueling or using gas, with no sales, how would taxes be levied?

More seriously,

what about the companies involved in the refining and transportation of petroleum products?

What would they do?

Natural gas can still be sold to residents and restaurants for heating and cooking purposes.

But what about oil?

Would it all be used in the chemical industry?

To produce basic chemical raw materials like ethylene and propylene and to manufacture synthetic materials such as plastics, fibers, and rubber?

An outright cut is impossible.

When the time comes, there will surely be calls for tax reductions and price cuts to maintain the viability of fuel and gas stations and petroleum refining enterprises.

If gasoline and diesel prices plummet to attract the public to continue using fuel vehicles, wouldn’t that be contrary to the concept of green and sustainable development?

…

Technological advancements inevitably lead to obsolescence.

With the presence of electric and energy-saving lights, who still uses kerosene lamps and candles for lighting?

With smartphones and high-speed mobile networks, which young people still prefer to use basic phones that can only make calls and send texts?

If tax revenue and employment are used as reasons to hinder the widespread adoption and operation of electric vehicles, wouldn’t that impede the progress of history?

Tan was plunged into deep thought.

The more he thought, the more his scalp tingled, and he decided to have his secretary urgently summon all departments for discussion.

Many people rushed over night after night to discuss this matter that would benefit both the country and the people.

If handled well, it would undoubtedly be advantageous for economic development, employment, and energy conservation…

But if mishandled, it could lead to great chaos, as it would affect many people’s jobs and incomes…

The night was long.

No one was destined to sleep.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the sun was already shining high.

A new day had dawned.

The important meeting convened by Tan had moved to a larger venue, involving more departments and people.

In recent years, numerous policies have been introduced around green and energy-saving development.

Buying electric cars exempts consumers from license plate restrictions, urban traffic bans, and even includes various subsidies.

But that’s because electric cars still have many disadvantages incomparable to the practicality of fuel cars.

Nowadays, it’s different.

With the emergence of superior batteries, electric cars are poised for a comeback.

If previous policies continue, electric vehicles will quickly gain a substantial advantage.

The general public isn’t foolish, they would soon abandon fuel cars.

Maintaining stable social development is of the utmost priority.

Therefore, how to promote orderly transformation in related industries while ensuring a smooth transition

requires a policy that can’t be developed overnight.

Matters intertwined with the welfare of the country demand extreme caution and well-grounded reasoning.

So, Wu Jie and his staff returned to Tianyuan, continuing to produce more batteries and conduct further tests.

They also needed to install and set up the conceptual electric vehicles and battery stations to perform ‘real combat’ tests.

If proven to be safe, economical, and practical, and even greener and more energy-efficient than fuel vehicles, then relevant policies could be introduced.

With the nation’s fate at stake, Tan could neither afford to take risks nor be negligent.

As a result,

Plainclothes Officers were stationed at the company, on constant watch with no blind spots, tightly guarding against any leakage of technology.

And Wu Jie, a talent of national treasure status, received special protection.

Two days later, everything was ready.

Tan immediately led a team on a flight to Tianyuan to witness the birth of a miracle…
