Chapter 975: Chapter 393 Suspect Appears Chapter 975: Chapter 393 Suspect Appears In Yan Fei's plan, Dream Island would launch a full-scale offensive this year, aiming for even greater profits. This included intervening in the design and production of self-driving cars, seizing the initiative in the largest single market. Dream Island's involvement in the self-driving car industry isn't solely because it's lucrative; its development is related to the national economy and people's livelihoods. It also lies in the fact that developing it could enhance China's and Dream Island's industrial capabilities, and strengthen China's strength.

Developed countries in the Western World, because of their early development and strong technical strength, coupled with deeply ingrained brand recognition, held an absolute advantage in the traditional car market. Even with China Automotive Company's earnest efforts to catch up, it couldn't reach their level quickly-not even with the addition of Dream Island. However, self-driving cars were the future direction of the car market, where everyone was starting from the same line. As long as Dream Island and Chinese Automotive Manufacturers seized the opportunity, overtaking in the bend to capture the largest market share in the future car market was possible.

In recent years, China's industrial manufacturing level had sharply increased, with their products snatching up a significant market share from Western countries, leading to a substantial decline in welfare and frequent domestic conflicts in those countries. However, Western countries' industrial strength was robust, holding technological advantages in many areas. Especially in the largest single car market, they still had an overwhelming advantage-as long as this market didn't fall, the Western World would continue to lead in technology.

The collaboration between Yan Fei and Chinese Automotive Manufacturers was primarily targeting the traditional car market of Western countries. During the critical phase of upgrading and transitioning the car market, China suddenly exerted force, occupying an absolute advantage in self-driving cars, and in the future would hold the largest market share. As long as the traditional car industry was destroyed, the technological advantage of the Western World would cease to exist, and their potential for technological development would be devastated. Upon losing the car market, the economies of the Western countries would face major problems, and internal strife would inevitably occur. A chaotic Western World could not prevent the rise of China and Dream Island.

This was a strategic decision that served the present age and benefited future generations. As long as China and Dream Island achieved their strategic purposes, they would welcome a bright future.

As for competing with Yan Fei in technology, the Western countries were not a concern. This was because Dream Island had already shown signs of a technological explosion, with various scientific and technological breakthroughs emerging incessantly. They had completely mastered the core technology of autonomous vehicles, producing self-driving cars with extremely high safety. Western countries simply could not compete with Dream Island's technology.

In the face of competition from Western countries, Yan Fei had a trump card-the Super High-energy Battery Pack technology enhanced with Black Gold Element.

For the purpose of collecting nuclear materials on the seafloor, Yang Qi designed Artificial Whales that work underwater; to power these Artificial Whales, Yang Qi then developed the Super High-energy Battery technology. However, to protect secrecy, this super high-energy battery technology was not made public, so nobody knew Dream Island possessed such a terrifying level of high-energy battery technology.

Dream Island had acquired the Black Gold Element, and after adding a small amount of Black Gold Element, had created the Super High-energy Battery Pack with an extremely strong energy storage capacity. But, even if this technology got leaked, without Dream Island's Black Gold Element, no one would have the capacity to manufacture it. Apart from Dream Island, no one knew about the existence of the Black Gold Element, let alone possess it.

Previously, to attract domestic smartphone manufacturers in China, Yan Fei introduced an extremely weakened version of the Super High-energy Battery for use in providing strong power to smartphones. But even this severely weakened version of the mobile phone battery caused a sensation upon its release.

If the extremely weakened high-energy battery was so formidable, then the intermediate weakened battery developed specifically for self-driving cars was naturally even more impressive. In Yan Fei's vision, self-driving cars would abandon traditional gasoline engine technology in favor of a full electric propulsion system, and the intermediate-energy battery would provide sufficient power for the autonomous vehicles.

Switching cars from gasoline to electrical power would not only lessen pollution and change the worsening natural environment, but it would also cause an energy revolution of new replacing old, overturning the existing world energy structure, and potentially altering the world's political and economic landscape.

Unlike the current electric car battery technology, electric cars fitted with Dream Island's Intermediate Energy Battery, after just one charge, the high-energy battery storage would be enough to allow self-driving cars to travel over 2000 kilometers.

Moreover, due to Dream Island's formidable wireless charging capabilities, this charging technology would also be applied to autonomous vehicles. Charging the high-energy battery from zero to 100% would take at most 10 minutes. As long as regular gas stations installed additional wireless charging pillars-where one pillar could at least ensure 20 cars could charge simultaneously-the time to charge a vehicle would be even shorter than refueling, and more convenient. Therefore, drivers wouldn't have to worry about batteries running out of power at all.

Dream Island's Super High-energy Battery Pack combined with Autonomous Vehicle Technology would become the strongest support for Dream Island and Chinese Automotive Manufacturers to rapidly rise and seize a larger share of the global car market. This advantage was tremendous, at least 20 years ahead of the world's advanced level. Once Western car manufacturers fell behind in technology, they simply couldn't catch up, even if they tried.
