Chapter 682
The Counterattack of Vested Interests
Xuanwu batteries have really become a hot topic now.
Previously, it was only being circulated on a small scale, but after Wang Donglai officially revealed the existence of the Xuanwu Battery and some data information in a live broadcast with millions of viewers.
Xuanwu Battery, along with millions of netizens, spread widely both domestically and internationally.
We live in the internet age. Anyone with a sound mind, who can use a search engine and has a little learning ability, can learn a lot of knowledge.
What exactly does the Xuanwu battery, with an energy density of 1400Wh/kg, represent?
You can find out by simply searching online with your phone.
Even if you don't know, comparing it with the top-of-the-line battery data on the market will make it clear.
Tesla, a best-selling brand overseas, uses 4680 batteries with an energy density of only 310kJ/L, while BYD's Blade Battery only has an energy density of 260kJ/L.
The difference between this and the Xuanwu battery with an energy density of 1400 kJ/L announced by Galaxy Technology is simply too great.
High battery energy density means long battery life, fast charging speed, and low travel costs.
Overnight.
Terms such as lithium-ion batteries, solid-state batteries, and xuanwu batteries quickly became hot keywords on major search engines.
I wonder how many people searched for this information overnight.
After searching, I fully understood just how powerful the Xuanwu Battery developed by Galaxy Technology really is.
the next day.
The effects of the Xuanwu Battery have fully taken hold.
As time went by, more and more netizens learned about this news.
As the origin of the news, Douyin saw millions of new registered users overnight.
This news has completely dominated the headlines of major platforms.
Some smaller platforms even experienced server outages.
"An epic nuclear bomb: China's Xuanwu battery has been unveiled, boasting a 1400Wh/kg capacity that crushes the world! Tesla is panicking!!"
This news, which looks like it was fabricated by a non-streaming media outlet, has been forwarded more than 500,000 times, and the comment section has received more than 40,000 comments.
"Are you in Ningde? Go check if Prince Ning is still there. I'm worried he's already fled with a train overnight."
"The Xuanwu Battery really did generate electricity by rubbing a rock!"
"Today, oil bosses around the world are crying!"
"I've been thinking about it all night, but I still can't figure it out. I clearly didn't miss anything, so why is there such a huge technological breakthrough all of a sudden? It's just unreasonable and unscientific!"
"After seeing the performance of the Xuanwu battery, I suddenly had a bold idea: to directly install the Xuanwu battery on the 055, double its power, and drive it directly from Siya to Hawaii, showcasing the power of our country!"
"Why wasn't Xuanwu Battery announced sooner? I just bought a new car. If I had known about the performance of Xuanwu Battery, why would I have bought a gasoline car at all!"
"I've already sold my PetroChina shares at a loss, and people are lining up on the rooftop. The wind is so strong today!"
Some netizens believed the news wholeheartedly and went on a frenzy of celebration.
There are also some netizens who have expressed doubts.
Faced with the boiling emotions of netizens across the internet, he poured cold water on them one after another.
"1400Wh/kg violates the law of conservation of energy! Unless the negative electrode uses metallic lithium + solid-state electrolysis, but thermal runaway would be more violent than a nuclear bomb!"
"When I saw this news first thing this morning, I wondered if I was just being overly excited, but I wasn't. I have reservations about this so-called Xuanwu battery and am waiting for the test report from the higher authorities!"
"I suspect that Galaxy Technology's staff made a mistake in the draft, writing 1400 instead of 140. The energy density of top battery brands is only around 200-300, and Galaxy Technology has actually raised it to 1400 in one go. This is not just outrageous, it's more like a fantasy."
"I'd like to make a guess and let's discuss it: could it be that a company wants to go public and is deliberately making a big announcement to increase its valuation in order to drive up the offering price?"
"I suggest miniaturizing the Xuanwu battery and implanting it directly into the human body for human electrification. The advertising slogans are already ready: charge for five minutes a day, work for 24 hours, and the boss will make a fortune!"
"Holy crap, Xingxing on the way here is acting like this first thing in the morning. Maybe we should take him to the hospital to get him checked out!"
"I just told my boyfriend I wanted to buy a new energy toy equipped with a Xuanwu battery, but he couldn't bear to part with it. This kind of man has no future, I have to break up with him. Sisters, stay away from this!"
"I woke up to find the sky falling down. Three generations of my family have worked in the petroleum system, and now I'm being told that a battery might cost us our jobs?"
"The oil era is coming to an end, and new clean energy, electricity, will eventually become the dominant force in the new era!"
"Why is this battery named Xuanwu? I have the following analysis: Xuanwu is one of the four mythical creatures in Chinese mythology. This means that Galaxy Technology has three other batteries. And since Xuanwu is taken from traditional mythology, it proves that this product is completely made in China independently."
"Please, we're begging for mass production! From now on, we're just passing by!"
"False advertising and fraud—we're just waiting for Galaxy Technology to be exposed and punished!"
"Oil makers have switched to selling power banks overnight, and 95-octane gasoline, which originally cost only eight yuan a liter, is now being sold off at a massive clearance price..."
"Beware of speculative investment and guard against a recurrence of photovoltaic scams!"
Not only in China, but also on foreign media platforms, there has been a large number of comments about Xuanwu batteries.
"The Chinese have definitely fabricated the data. With their technological capabilities, it is impossible for them to develop such a battery."
"My God, I can't even imagine if such a battery were developed and used in new energy vehicles. Wouldn't that mean we're sitting on a giant TNT?"
"This is absolutely impossible. Even the theoretical products in our great Japan's laboratory only have an energy density of less than 500Wh/kg. How could China possibly develop such a powerful battery?"
As its popularity grows, so does its popularity.
Some forces could no longer sit still.
To reiterate, the superior performance of the Xuanwu battery will impact the entire global energy landscape, and will extend far beyond this field.
It will also have a profound impact on some other industries.
Therefore, such an important technology must be strictly controlled.
Upon seeing this news, some cities in China immediately took action.
During this process, it was learned that Tangdu City was preparing to apply for the construction of an industrial park centered on Xuanwu battery technology.
This immediately excited the major cities.
If we can attract Galaxy Technology to invest there, it will be equivalent to securing a super industrial park.
For a time, Galaxy Technology and Wang Donglai became highly sought-after.
In the eyes of some foreign forces, Galaxy Technology and Wang Donglai are undisputed threats.
As China continues to rise, the voices of the "China threat" theory are growing louder.
Anyone with insight can see that if China continues to develop step by step, it is very likely to become the new center of the world.
It has the world's largest population and market, as well as a sufficient number of highly skilled workers, to support the development of both light and heavy industries and the tertiary service sector.
After all, in the eyes of many Westerners, their jobs are taken away because of the existence of China.
However, they never think about why they have so many high-quality and inexpensive products to consume and maintain their middle-class lifestyle.
This is not a capitalist welfare program, but rather China using its own labor force to serve them.
The West is already so wary of China even though it has not yet made any achievements in the high-tech industry.
Now, it has suddenly come to light that a Chinese company has developed a super battery that can replace all other power batteries on the market.
The shock of this news immediately prompted many Western forces hostile to the East to take action. Of course, this was also partly due to the potential loss of their own interests.
When the Bretton Woods system collapsed, the dollar was pegged to oil, which re-established the dominance of the Commonwealth of Eagles.
There are countless individuals and organizations in the West with huge vested interests in the oil sector.
In the capitalist world, money equals power, and the two are often interchangeable.
Since their interests have been harmed, they will inevitably try to make up for it through power.
Their most pressing task right now is to quickly resolve the stock market crash caused by the news about Xuanwu Battery.
This news caused more than $200 billion to evaporate from the stock market on Wall Street.
I wonder how many people jumped off rooftops during this process.
Mobil headquarters.
As a global chemical giant, ExxonMobil has a deep presence in the oil sector and enjoys enormous profits.
Originally, the promotion of new energy vehicles was intended to be a gradual process, as it would take a long time to completely replace gasoline vehicles.
Therefore, Mobil is not too worried.
Because such a long period of time is enough for them to transform and find new areas and layouts.
However, man proposes, God disposes.
The emergence of the Xuanwu battery has directly sounded the death knell for traditional energy.
If they find a solution before Xuanwu batteries are mass-produced and launched on the market, they will only face bankruptcy and closure.
The solution, however, is somewhat difficult because the developers of the Xuanwu battery are based in China.
Otherwise, just arrange for someone to commit suicide with eight bullets in their body; that would be simple and efficient.
However, this is no challenge for Mobil, a major industrial giant.
They immediately took action and seized the core issue.
the next day.
Numerous experts in the Bald Eagle Federation's media have publicly stated that super batteries may cause cancer.
Some experts have even confidently produced a report that rigorously demonstrates that when the energy density exceeds 800Wh/kg, spontaneous combustion is extremely likely to occur.
Some of the data comes from Stanford, and the experts also have a wide range of titles.
Believing in authority is a universal human trait.
The Bald Eagle Federation is no exception.
Some tabloids have even suggested that Chinese companies could not possibly have developed such an excellent product, that the product data released must have been embellished to some extent, and that there is a high probability that the breakthrough was achieved because Chinese hackers stole the technological achievements of their Bald Eagle Federation.
Coincidentally, Tesla is currently discussing cooperation with Shanghai, China.
These negative news stories broke out all at once, as if they had been tacitly agreed upon.
And these methods did indeed work.
The stock market on Wall Street responded immediately.
This is just the beginning, not the end.
Next, Western energy groups fully demonstrated their immense financial power.
Under the pressure of financial incentives, a steady stream of experts stepped forward to analyze the potential hazards of Xuanwu batteries from various perspectives.
Battery waste recycling is far from sufficient, damaging the environment and affecting ecological security, and poses a significant threat.
Trace amounts of heavy metals do not degrade and will appear in the human body through natural cycles.
Environmentalists, biologists, physicists, doctors, and other professionals shared their experiences and provided detailed data to support their claims.
And that's only one aspect.
The debate surrounding Xuanwu battery technology is extremely intense.
From discussions on technical routes to whether there was patent infringement, and whether the Xuanwu battery was independently developed by China, and whether it involved the theft of others' technology.
What started as a genuine academic debate gradually devolved into slander and defamation.
This is still just from an academic perspective.
The real killer move is in another area.
In just a few days, the Bald Eagle Federation launched a series of policies with an efficiency that would be impossible in a capitalist society.
A spokesperson for the White House went so far as to declare at a press conference that a "Battery NATO Alliance" would be formed, which would consider including Japan and South Korea, along with the European Union. The alliance members would share solid-state battery patents and impose a 100% punitive tariff on China.
As soon as this news came out, the United States immediately followed suit, expressing its loyalty and willingness to contribute two trillion yen, totaling more than 10 billion US dollars, to be invested over five years, led by Toyota, focusing on the research and development of sulfide solid-state batteries.
Not to be outdone, South Korea has also announced plans to allocate over 70 trillion won for the research and development of power batteries.
When the news reached China, it shocked netizens, who marveled at the small scale of the situation and the extravagant spending of South Korea.
But when some netizens converted the currency into US dollars, they immediately burst out laughing.
A $10 billion investment for a small company, if it's an investment over a year, is not bad and can produce some results.
However, if the investment is spread over five years, the situation is different.
As for calling it the "Kimchi Country," that's a complete joke.
However, despite the amusement, seeing that after the Bald Eagle Federation took the lead in expressing its stance, all its subordinates followed suit, creating a powerful momentum.
For a moment, looking around, one felt as if one were facing a vast army all alone.
A sense of solitary courage, heroism, grandeur, and sorrow washes over me.
The more adverse the circumstances, the more likely they are to trigger China's passivity.
With everyone united as one, we can overcome any obstacle.
This is reflected online in the fact that domestic support for Xuanwu batteries has reached a new level.
There's a prevailing notion that Xuanwu batteries are the pride of domestically produced technology and the hope for my country's technological independence; supporting Xuanwu batteries is patriotic, while not supporting them is unpatriotic.
This claim spread rapidly online as soon as it appeared.
They heavily promoted patriotism and engaged in patriotic marketing.
This immediately boosted the reputation of Xuanwu Battery and Galaxy Technology to a new level.
The emergence of this claim, and the effects it has had, have also attracted considerable attention in China.
Meanwhile, the marketing department of the chrysanthemum factory in Shenzhen secretly noted down this incident, intending to learn from it.
Just as this claim was gaining momentum, Galaxy Technology stepped forward and issued a statement.
This announcement was like a bucket of cold water, severely cooling down the marketing frenzy that was raging online. (End of Chapter)
