Chapter 91: The Dimensional Reduction Attack from the Game Company
Yu Dazui laughed, but when Lei Zi saw Yu Dazui's mysterious smile, the sky seemed to fall.
Huawei's Mate series hasn't been released yet. Although the P series won't be used, the Mate 20 will definitely be available.
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. The Mi 9 and Mate 20 use the same technology and are not bad either, so there's something to brag about.
After everyone had finished digesting the first two appetizers, Yang Yi was back on the center of the stage.
Yang Yi suddenly became much more serious.
"Alright, that's the end of the appetizer."
"Let's begin our main meal today."
He stepped aside to avoid looking at the main screen. The large screen went dark for a moment, then lit up, displaying a table with white text on a black background.
Current mass production data of ternary lithium battery cells from major domestic battery manufacturers:
1. Single-cell energy density: 190Wh/kg
2. Volumetric energy density: 500Wh/L
3. Standard charging rate: 0.5C, short-term fast charging: 1C
4. Cycle life (80% capacity remaining): 1300 cycles
5. Operating temperature range: -20℃~55℃
Many of the bigwigs present were from related industries and were very familiar with the data on the main screen, but they didn't quite understand what the young boss on stage wanted to do.
Yang Yi walked to the side of the screen, reached out and tapped the number "190Wh/kg", leaving a momentary shadow on the projected image with his fingertip.
"Many of the bosses present should be familiar with this set of data. This is currently the best battery solution that can be commercially used in China."
Yang Yi turned around to face the audience, placed her hands on the edge of the podium, and leaned forward slightly: "Our country is vigorously developing the new energy industry. Beehive is responding to the country's call and wants to keep up with the country's pace, become a new force in new energy vehicle companies, and contribute to the country."
He paused here, his tone turning somber: "But as our research progressed, we found that the current new energy vehicle market is nearing saturation, and compared to gasoline vehicles, it still has certain disadvantages."
He loosened his grip on the edge of the podium, straightened up, and took a step forward: "Through our analysis, we finally found the culprit that restricts the development of new energy vehicle companies and prevents them from becoming mainstream."
At this point, Yang Yi suddenly turned around and pointed to the large screen behind him: "It's this battery behind me. It charges slowly, its battery life is affected by the environment, and it's prone to exploding in case of an accident—"
His voice rose slightly, as if stating a fact, or perhaps questioning: "This is the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of every new energy vehicle company. Countless car companies have tried various methods to solve this problem."
He stopped.
The hall fell completely silent. The VIP in the front row, wearing a dark blue suit, placed his hands on the table, staring at the stage without moving, even lowering his breathing.
All eyes were focused on the young man in the center of the stage, watching him put down the microphone and take a breath.
Then he spoke again.
"Now," Yang Yi's voice clearly reached the ears of the hundreds of people below the stage, "I, or rather, Swarm Power, standing before you, will bring you an excellent answer tonight."
The large screen behind him went dark for a moment.
Then it lights up.
Next to the previous table, a brand new table appeared.
First-generation semi-solid-state battery cells from swarm:
1. Single-cell energy density: 440Wh/kg
2. Volumetric energy density: 1100Wh/L
3. Charging rate: 4C (charges to 80% in 15 minutes)
4. 循环寿命(容量剩80%):2000次5.工作温度区间:—30℃~60℃
6. Safety test: Passed all tests including needle penetration, compression, overcharge, and short circuit; no fire or explosion occurred. The area below the stage was quiet for a moment.
Then, like a pot of water being boiled, it suddenly exploded.
Someone in the back row suddenly sat up straight, the chair leg scraping against the floor with a short, piercing sound.
Yu Dazui, sitting in the center of the second row, crossed his arms and his smile deepened.
Honeycomb Power's research and development capabilities are truly impressive. When I visited them last time, their battery volumetric energy density was still 1050Wh/L. Fortunately, Yang Yi is a conscientious person and provided Huawei with the new technology without raising the price.
Hearing the gasps and whispers around him, Yu Dazui glanced at the expressions of his colleagues before turning back to the stage, his gaze calm.
Even he was somewhat fascinated by the exhilarating feeling of being in complete control.
In the first row, Pony Ma and Lei Jun sat side by side.
Little Ma leaned back in his chair, having sat up straight since Yang Yi started talking about batteries. His gaze swept back and forth between the two rows of data twice before he slowly leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples.
Lei Jun sat to his right, his lips slightly parted, staring at the number "440" for a long time before slowly blinking.
He subconsciously glanced at Little Ma, only to find that the other was also looking at the data, so he looked away again.
The rows further back were filled with reporters from technology media and overseas broadcasting media, and the sound of camera shutters never stopped from the moment the data was displayed.
A foreign journalist in the front row quickly typed a few words on his phone, looked up to take a picture, and then looked down to type again, his movements as fast as if he had been put on accelerator.
A reporter from a domestic technology media outlet next to him didn't take any pictures. He just stared at the row of numbers on the screen, pen in hand, until a colleague next to him gently nudged his arm, bringing him back to his senses. He quickly lowered his head and jotted down a few notes in his notebook.
The murmurs traveled from the front row to the back row, and then back again.
A middle-aged man in a dark gray suit to Ma's left turned his head and whispered something. Ma shook his head slightly, did not reply, and kept his gaze on the stage.
The burly man in the dark blue suit, who had previously been disdainful of Yang Yi, gaped, staring at the various data on the screen in disbelief.
The swarm battery is practically an essential battery for high-end models of new energy vehicle companies like theirs.
Compared to his existential crisis, Li Bin's face was unusually dark.
The existence of this battery signifies that its future is doomed.
He has consistently advocated for the concept of battery swapping and used it as a selling point to attract investors.
Not to mention the nearly 2000 battery swapping stations he has already built, the charging speed of swarm batteries alone makes the future theory of battery swapping untenable.
Once investor confidence wanes, the company will either collapse outright or be kicked out of the top tier of new energy companies.
Battery swapping stations will also become completely non-performing assets.
At this moment, he could only keep hypnotizing himself: It's fake—it's fake—it's all a scam—a pig butchering scam!
Yang Yi did not speak immediately.
He stood in the center of the stage, microphone hanging at his side, and only raised the microphone to his mouth after the hall quieted down again.
"I know these figures don't seem entirely accurate," he said. "So all the guests present today can..."
After the press conference, you can pick up a third-party testing report. If you're not in a hurry to leave, there are also samples on display in the adjacent exhibition hall for you to view.
"Moreover, our battery cells have been specially optimized for new energy vehicle companies, exchanging a 200-cycle lifespan for a 5C charging rate, charging to 80% in 7 minutes and fully charging in 12 minutes."
He paused, his gaze sweeping past the first row and landing on the center of the second row.
"Moreover, the latest phone in the Mate series will be equipped with this battery. The capacity is two and a half times that of the same size, while the thickness of the body has not increased."
At this point, he tilted his head slightly towards Yu Dazui, "Mr. Yu, would you like to come up and say a few words?"
When Yu Dazui stood up, his movements were not fast, but his steps were a beat faster than usual.
He stood up from the center of the second row, walked through the aisle next to the first row, went to the stage, and took the microphone from Yang Yi.
The audience fell completely silent.
Pony Ma, sitting in the front row, looked up at him, while Lei Jun, standing next to him, leaned forward slightly, his eyes filled with undisguised envy.
The media reporters in the back rows had already raised their cameras again, and after a few clicks of the shutter, they fell silent again.
Yu Dazui glanced down at the microphone, and spoke in a low but steady and powerful voice, carrying the air of someone who had been through many battles.
"Having worked in the mobile phone industry for so many years, we've contacted many battery manufacturers in the supply chain. Both domestic and foreign ones, many of them have impressive lab data, but to be honest, there aren't many that can achieve stable mass production and pass all our internal tests."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the faces in the first row of the audience. "When this battery was delivered to Huawei Lab three months ago, after our first round of testing, the engineer came to me and said, 'Mr. Yu, our machine seems to be broken.' I didn't say anything then, and had them test it again."
There was laughter from the audience, not loud, but the meaning behind it was clear.
After the laughter subsided, Yu Dazui continued, "The data was the same after the second round of testing. The data was still unchanged after the third round. By the fourth round, the engineer told me, 'Mr. Yu, it's not that our machine is broken, it's that this battery cell is truly terrifying.'"
"That's right, our internal engineers define it as 'terrifying'!"
He switched the microphone to his left hand and raised his right hand to show a number: "440 watt-hours per kilogram, 1100 watt-hours per liter. In the mobile phone battery category, our competitors haven't even found a way to catch up yet, let alone produce any products."
Yu Dazui looked at Li Bin, whose face was ashen in the second row, and laughed as he revealed the funny story of his first visit to the bee colony.
"I went to the headquarters of Hive in person for this battery. When I got downstairs, I was completely stunned. If I'm not mistaken, this is a game company."
Even after the secretary confirmed it repeatedly, I still couldn't believe that the world's first battery cell in my hand was made by them.
Yu Dazui smiled helplessly: "It's not that I'm jealous, it's just that I feel like I'm questioning life. A battery that has cost hundreds of billions of dollars worldwide to develop has been developed by a company whose main business is games in less than a year."
"Is there no justice left? Is there no law left?!"
Many bigwigs in the audience felt the same way when they heard Yu Dazui's words.
Yu Dazui turned slightly to the side, tilting his head slightly towards Yang Yi, but his gaze remained fixed on the audience.
"We've been in this industry for so many years and have seen many new technologies and materials. Some have progressed quickly, some have progressed slowly, but we've never seen anything like Hive—starting from scratch and achieving this level of quality in its first-generation product."
He switched the microphone back to his right hand, his tone becoming more even: "Huawei's Mate series is positioned as a high-end model, so naturally they wouldn't miss out on this device with the world's strongest battery."
The applause from the audience was more unified than ever before.
After the applause subsided, Yu Dazui handed the microphone back to Yang Yi, nodded, and turned to walk downstairs.
As he stepped down from the stage, he took in Li Bin's expression and thought to himself: "There is probably no future for him."
The business world is ruthless. No matter how high your status is, if you don't catch the right trend, you'll be eliminated.
