Chapter 70: Thor Battery!

As soon as Su Xin finished speaking, everyone at the venue was stunned, seemingly unable to react yet.

No one expected that the new technology Su Xin had previously kept under wraps, refusing to reveal any concrete information, would be announced directly after just two opening sentences.

Of course, given their many years of industry experience, they had certainly experienced press conferences that got straight to the point, but the most critical issue was that the so-called new technology Su Xin mentioned...

... was actually a Solid-state Battery?

You, a top genius in the software industry, are claiming that a new technology capable of shocking the world is actually Solid-state Battery Technology, which is completely unrelated to the software industry?

Could you be any more outrageous?

On the podium, Su Xin smiled, raised the remote control in his other hand, turned on the screen behind him, and used a PowerPoint presentation to show everyone the technical principles and several major advantages of the solid-state battery.

However, due to the hype created by major car companies and the media, many people were already quite familiar with the characteristics and advantages of solid-state batteries and firmly believed in their future prospects.

Therefore, Su Xin's explanation did not cause much of a stir; the question everyone really cared about was whether Su Xin had truly mastered solid-state battery technology that could be mass-produced.

"... As everyone knows, as long as solid-state battery technology matures and achieves mass production, it will certainly be able to overturn the current automotive industry and let new energy vehicles completely defeat traditional fuel vehicles."

"I also firmly believe in this point, and I have already developed a mature solid-state battery technology capable of overturning the current market, and have created the world's first all-solid-state battery!"

Su Xin pressed the switch in his hand again.

The image on the screen switched, and what appeared before everyone's eyes was a picture of a huge square battery with a green lightning pattern on it.

And above the battery were four bold, flourishing characters—

Thor Battery!

Su Xin also said at the opportune moment:

"Its name is Thor Battery!"

"Below are some of the main parameters of the Thor Battery—"

"Its energy density reaches as high as 400Wh/kg, more than 70% higher than the current mainstream Liquid Lithium Battery, and its energy volumetric density is more than double. In other words, when it is applied to a car, although the range increases by double, the weight only increases by less than 20%, and the volume does not increase at all."

"It can allow pure electric vehicles to reach a range of over 1100 kilometers, about double the range of current mainstream pure electric vehicles, and a 10-minute fast charge can add 500 kilometers of range."

"Furthermore, the normal operating temperature range of the Thor Battery is from minus 40 degrees to 100 degrees. Within this temperature range, the range of the Thor Battery will not fluctuate by more than 10%; whether it is winter or summer, the range will not shrink."

"In addition, the cycle life of the Thor Battery has reached 5000 times, about 2.5 times higher than the current mainstream Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery, and 6 times higher than the Ternary Lithium Battery."

"If you also factor in the range performance of the Thor Battery, its theoretical total mileage can reach 5.5 million kilometers. Even if calculated at 20,000 kilometers per year, it can run happily for 275 years."

"Of course, some people may know that besides cycle life, a battery also has a calendar life, which is the period from the date of production to the end of the battery's life. Regardless of whether the battery is used or not, the power will naturally decay."

"Usually, the calendar life of a Liquid Lithium Battery is about three to five years. After the calendar life ends, the battery capacity will drop to about 70%."

"But the calendar life of the Thor Battery is as high as ten years. Within ten years, the Thor Battery will decay normally, and the capacity will never drop below 70%. Even after ten years, if the capacity drops below 70%, it will not affect daily use given the range performance and charging efficiency of the Thor Battery."

"In other words, no matter how great your car usage needs are, and no matter how many miles you drive every day, the range of the Thor Battery can at least guarantee normal use for ten years, and even the capacity decay rate after ten years is far lower than that of a Liquid Lithium Battery."

"Of course, the Thor Battery is to be used in cars, and the most important thing for a car is safety."

"Please look, everyone. These images that follow are the test videos and inspection data of the Thor Battery. Whether it is nail penetration, fire, water immersion, or frontal impact, the Thor Battery will not experience thermal runaway or other violent chemical reactions."

"It is not only safer than existing new energy vehicles, but also safer than traditional fuel vehicles."

Listening to the series of data Su Xin stated and watching the video footage displayed on the screen, everyone at the scene was stunned.

As media, even if they didn't usually care much about these cutting-edge technologies, they would at least pay attention when they saw them, so they were very clear about what this data represented.

If this data were all true, the automotive industry would definitely undergo a disruptive upheaval.

Whether it is fuel vehicles, or existing pure electric and hybrid vehicles, they will have no power to resist in front of a new electric vehicle equipped with a Thor Battery!

Even the netizens watching the live broadcast were shocked by the series of data Su Xin displayed, and a large number of netizens posted bullet comments one after another.

"Holy crap! Is the solid-state battery really out? And it was developed by President Su?"

"President Su is awesome! President Su is invincible!"

"If the Thor Battery is really this powerful, then what will happen to other electric vehicles in the future?"

"Don't even mention other electric vehicles; traditional fuel vehicles will be thrown into the trash heap of history."

"I just spent over 300,000 to buy a pure electric vehicle, doesn't that mean it's about to become obsolete?"

"Those top car companies say every year that solid-state battery technology has this or that progress, but no one has ever released a real product. As a result, President Su quietly produced a finished product. How can those car companies face this?"

There were also more rational netizens who analyzed:

"However, even if this solid-state battery thing is developed, and even if it can really be mass-produced, it won't be so easy to popularize."

"After all, this technology has just matured, and the production line has not been broken in, so the output won't be very high. Initially, it will definitely only be equipped on a few high-end pure electric models."

"For this kind of new product, due to the imperfection of the production line and supply chain, coupled with huge R&D costs, the price will be extremely expensive when it first hits the market. Ordinary people cannot afford it, so everyone should just watch for now. Wait until this technology is fully popularized and production capacity is increased before considering buying one."

The netizens discussed it one after another.

At the same time, the management of major car companies who happened to be watching the live broadcast reported this shocking news to their superiors immediately, which soon attracted the attention of top-level executives.

And those practitioners in the new energy battery industry flocked to the live broadcast room at the first opportunity.

Just ten minutes into the press conference, half of the Long Country technology circle was shaken, especially the new energy vehicle-related industries. From power battery suppliers to major car companies, everyone began to pay attention to the Tianqi Technology press conference.

In fact, if Tianqi Technology were just an unknown small company, let alone announcing the development of a solid-state battery, even if they had developed Controlled Nuclear Fusion, people would not easily believe it.

But Tianqi Technology is different.

Although Tianqi Technology's foundation is not yet deep enough, because of its huge number of users, as well as profit margins and cash flow that make countless people envious, it has already become one of the most well-known technology companies in the country.

Plus the fame and legendary status that Su Xin himself possesses.

No one dared to underestimate the new technology announced by Su Xin at such a grand press conference.
