Chapter 219

As the saying goes, laymen watch the spectacle, while experts see the underlying principles.

Once Fengyi Technology's high-end carbon fiber products enter mass production,

Longguo will completely break the technological monopoly held by Toray and other Japanese manufacturers, seizing the pinnacle of the global carbon fiber industry.

For domestic carbon fiber, this holds extremely significant meaning.

Therefore, many enterprises brought their technical experts, hoping to hear some of those underlying principles:

Then they heard the plump Dr. Wen Xia say,

"...Furthermore, as everyone knows, high-performance fibers do not necessarily translate into high-performance composite materials.

"The phrase 'a lofty song finds few singers' refers not only to the relationship between carbon fiber and its applications, but also to the relationship between carbon fiber and resin (including sizing agents).

In short, it is about how the resin "bonds firmly" to the fiber to achieve compressive strength, something the fiber itself is not good at.

The higher the fiber performance, the more difficult the surface treatment technology becomes, and the more difficult the matching resin (sizing agent) technology becomes.

From carbon fiber to prepreg to composite structure, we have designed a new process flow for carbon fiber materials.

Fengyi Technology can be said to be at the forefront of the world,

completely leaving certain Japanese and American manufacturers far behind in terms of technological gap!"

As soon as these words were finished, intense applause erupted from the audience.

Only the representatives from Toray, Solvay, and Hexcel, who had arrived uninvited, wore extremely ugly expressions.

Especially the representatives from Japan's Toray Company.

It has always been the global leader in carbon fiber technology, with its products even exported to the Boeing Company,

participating in the development of the American aerospace industry.

Moreover, Toray's high-end products are famously embargoed against Longguo.

However, with advertisements for Fengyi's carbon fiber products recently flooding the Longguo internet,

representatives from foreign enterprises like Toray naturally saw them.

Given Fengyi Technology's current status in Longguo's battery industry,

these foreign carbon fiber manufacturers unexpectedly all agreed to attend the launch event.

However, they then heard Dr. Wen Xia introducing the company's new product.

Upon hearing this, the Toray representative's face turned as black as the bottom of a wok.

T1200 carbon fiber, according to its data, has not even been born yet in Toray's laboratories, which invest hundreds of billions of yen annually.

Yet, people in Longguo have already achieved mass production of it.

This feeling is like when everyone in the village walks, while you have always ridden a motorcycle; naturally, you feel very proud.

You often show off in front of the other kids in the village,

but if those kids ask to borrow your vehicle, there is absolutely no chance.

But suddenly one day, a kid with whom you have some conflict

suddenly returns driving a sedan.

Instantly, your little motorcycle no longer seems appealing,

and almost all the kids in the village surround the one with the car.

Unbelievable! Jealousy! And resentment!

This is exactly the mood of Toray and some other representatives.

They find it hard to believe that Longguo's scientific research technology could actually surpass Japan's.

An industry in which Japan has cultivated for so many years and has always led the world

has suddenly been overtaken in a beautiful curve.

Moreover, after being overtaken, Japanese enterprises were left so far behind that the gap became boundless.

Watching Dr. Wen Xia of Fengyi Technology continuing his introduction non-stop,

representatives from various companies immediately began reporting to their headquarters.

Including Toray Company, many foreign giant corporations were shocked upon receiving this news.

Longguo has another world-class technology that has moved ahead of all other companies.

There is a default fact in global manufacturing: once a Longguo enterprise completely masters the technology of a certain industry,

the commodity prices in that industry will immediately face an avalanche.

However, these companies are still unaware that even the T1200 carbon fiber filaments launched by Fengyi Technology are merely a degraded version of the latest T1300 carbon fiber supplied to the military.

If they knew the truth, one can only imagine what they would think.

Indeed, as Fengyi Technology became the first to breakthrough T1200 carbon fiber technology and achieve mass production,

international prices for cutting-edge T1100 carbon fiber immediately plummeted.

From a peak of 5,000 yuan per kilogram, the price dropped overnight to 2,000 yuan per kilogram.

The most ridiculous part is that companies like Japan's Toray announced they could now export high-end carbon fiber products to Dragon Country,

including the T1100 model.

It must be noted that previously, even if Dragon Country wanted to buy T1100 carbon fiber products, it was impossible, as such items were embargoed under the "COCOM" agreement.

Yet, once Dragon Country gained the ability to mass-produce even more advanced products,

miraculously, the so-called COCOM agreement ceased to exist.

However, for Dragon Country,

since we have superior domestic products, why would we buy your low-grade goods?

It truly fits the saying: "Yesterday you ignored me; today I am out of your league."

Furthermore, as Fengyi Technology announced a "4-4-3" production capacity plan, with a near-term annual output of 20,000 tons of carbon fiber,

and a long-term goal of reaching 40,000 tons by the end of the year at the latest,

this news sent shockwaves through the domestic carbon fiber market.

After all, if Fengyi Technology truly produces 20,000 tons of carbon fiber,

the entire domestic carbon fiber market will face a major reshuffle.

Considering that last year, Dragon Country's total domestic carbon fiber production capacity was only 7,000 tons,

which is merely one-third of Fengyi Technology's current capacity.

Of course, for many domestic manufacturers with annual outputs of merely tens or hundreds of tons,

regardless of how much Fengyi Technology produces,

the impact on them is actually minimal,

since Fengyi Technology is competing for the international high-end carbon fiber market,

not their low-end sector. Regardless of fluctuations in the high-end market, materials like T300 still have huge demand for applications such as lifting slings and bicycles.

However, traditional carbon fiber manufacturers like Japan's Toray and America's Hexcel are still facing severe headaches.

With Fengyi Technology disrupting the high-end carbon fiber market,

numerous international enterprises have developed an interest in this material,

including renowned international automakers, drone manufacturers, and aircraft producers.

At this moment, in Fengyi Technology's office, Bai Bai Jie, dressed in a sexy work uniform, reported:

"After the press conference, we have received orders from automakers including Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, and BMW;

additionally, many others, such as Golf and globally famous bicycle companies, have expressed purchasing intentions!"

"Moreover, America's Boyin Company and Europe's Airbus have also expressed hope to procure some top-tier T1200 carbon fiber.

In short, our current production capacity is far from meeting demand!"

Hearing Secretary Bai's words, Lin Yi nodded.

Starting from April, Fengyi Technology will have a monthly production capacity of 1,500 tons each month (excluding supplies allocated to the military).

In short, with our current production capacity, supply simply cannot meet demand!"

Hearing Secretary Bai's words, Lin Yi nodded.

Starting from April, Fengyi Technology will have a monthly production capacity of 1,500 tons for the foreseeable future (excluding military supplies).
