"As of the announcement, no battery company has taken the initiative to contact us to inquire. The public opinion on the Internet is basically skeptical and does not believe in our achievements in solid-state batteries."
In the afternoon, Meng Songyan reported the progress of the matter to Xu Yun in the office of the president of Deepin Technology.
"As expected."
Xu Yun moved the mouse to browse the comments on the screen, nodded to Meng Songyan and whispered four words.
Although Deepin Technology has a good reputation in its operations in the past few years, it is impossible to fully convince netizens just by issuing announcements, let alone those battery companies.
The most appropriate thing to do at this time is to wait and see, which is normal.
On the contrary, Xu Yun is not anxious at all. After all, low-cost solid-state batteries are a certainty.
There is no false propaganda.
No matter how the wind changes, the most important thing is that battery companies still have to take the initiative to seek cooperation.
Unless they want to watch themselves be eliminated from the market.
What's more, Nature magazine has accepted the paper, and everything will be clear when the research results are published.
Nowadays, the louder the discussion on the Internet, the more popular all-solid-state batteries are to make it easier for them to be accepted by the public and completely complete the revolution in the battery industry.
However, in order to further increase the popularity, Xu Yun does not mind adding fuel to the flames.
He looked away from the screen in the next second, looked straight ahead and gave Meng Songyan new task arrangements.
"Let the company's official account continue to publish test data on all-solid-state batteries, and contact media organizations for reports."
The company's business and laboratory projects belong to two parts. Meng Songyan is mainly responsible for the company's operations, so he is not actually particularly clear about the progress of the laboratory project.
In particular, Xu Yun is personally responsible for the solid-state battery laboratory, which makes him unaware of the specific situation.
Now that the public opinion on the Internet is so huge, it would be absolutely false to say that I am not worried at all.
The company has finally accumulated a good reputation. If the final solid-state battery technology does not meet the announcement, it will definitely have a great impact on the company's reputation.
Although he should unconditionally trust Xu Yun, he was responsible for the establishment of the solid-state battery laboratory.
In just a few months, it is impossible for people to doubt that solid-state battery technology has achieved a breakthrough.
Even if it was said that Xu Yun had proved another world mathematical problem within a few months, he would believe it, because Xu Yun indeed had such strength.
Hodge's conjecture and Goldbach's conjecture have been proven to be the best proofs.
But he didn't know Xu Yun's talent in chemical materials.
With his mind running rapidly at this moment, he finally decided to speak out the questions in his heart.
Save yourself the time to worry secretly.
Influence company management.
"Mr. Xu."
“Has our solid-state battery laboratory really completely conquered all-solid-state battery technology?”
After raising this question, Meng Songyan stopped talking and just watched Xu Yun waiting for the desired result.
After all, Xu Yun had been working with Meng Songyan for so long, so how could he not know what the other person was thinking at this moment.
Naturally, I understand that I am worried about the company.
Now that the research results of solid-state batteries have been announced to the public, there is naturally nothing to sell to Meng Songyan, so he immediately introduced it in detail with a faint smile on his lips.
"certainly."
"Have you ever seen me do something I wasn't sure about?"
"The laboratory has indeed conquered solid-state battery technology, and by adopting new solid electrolyte materials, production costs have been significantly reduced."
"I believe it won't be long before a large number of battery companies come to us for cooperation."
"The relevant paper has been accepted by Nature magazine, so you can rest assured."
Although Xu Yun's words were not long, Meng Songyan felt secretly frightened after listening to them all.
Unexpectedly, our laboratory actually conquered all-solid-state battery technology.
However, he does not think that this is the credit of the two laboratory researchers Lu Yi and Wan Xiaoyong.
Especially when I think about Xu Yun's initiative to build a laboratory, it seems that he already had a plan at that time.
And it was only then that he finally understood what Xu Yun meant by not being short of money.
When these three new laboratories were about to be established, he once dissuaded them by saying that the funds required to be invested were too large and would be a bottomless pit that would affect the normal operation of the company.
Now it seems there is really no need to worry.
Once all-solid-state batteries replace traditional lithium batteries, they will definitely be adopted immediately to complete the revolution in the battery industry, whether in new energy vehicles or digital products such as mobile phones.
The size of the entire market that this will bring will be impossible to estimate. Even if Deepin Technology only provides technology, the technology licensing fees it can earn every year will be astronomical.
Enough to fill the laboratory's research funding.
"Mr. Xu."
"Now I finally understand where you got the confidence to add three new laboratories in one go."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this right away."
The doubts in his heart were completely dissipated, and a smile suddenly appeared on Meng Songyan's face and he answered quickly.
After saying that, he turned around and left.
But as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by Xu Yun again.
"Not in a hurry."
Meng Songyan paused and turned around again and asked, "Is there anything else you want to tell Mr. Xu?"
Mr. Xu did not answer immediately after hearing this. He stood up and walked to Meng Songyan before asking with concern about his daughter Meng Qingwen.
"Qingwen should be taking the college entrance examination this year, right?"
Speaking of which, Xu Yun once worked as a tutor for Meng Songyan's daughter, Meng Qingwen, for a period of time. Later, the two would exchange lectures on their mobile phones. He knew that Meng Qingwen was one year below Han Xiaoya.
This year is the time for Meng Qingwen to take the college entrance examination.
Meng Qingwen's academic talent and grades were lower than Han Xiaoya's, so naturally she was not allowed to participate in the competition.
Hearing Xu Yun mention his daughter, Meng Songyan's face suddenly showed kindness as a father, and then he briefly introduced his daughter's situation.
"Wenwen will take the college entrance examination next month. Based on his results in the last mock exam, it seems that he has a chance to go to Beijing University."
"Maybe she will be Mr. Xu's junior schoolmate by then."
"Then the relationship is good, you can let Xiaoya take care of her more." Xu Yun nodded and answered with a smile.
After all, Meng Qingwen's household registration is in Jingzhou City, so it is undoubtedly easier for candidates from outside the province to enter Jingzhou University.
Thinking that he would soon become a professor at Jingzhou University, he might even have the opportunity to teach them.
"It's better to spend more time with Qingwen during this time. You can't take the college entrance examination carelessly."
The next second, Xu Yun gave Meng Songyan another instruction before letting him leave to do business.
Soon, under the arrangement of Meng Songyan, the official account of Deepin Technology once again released detailed test data on metal all-solid-state batteries.
If the announcement at noon aroused everyone's attention and focused the public's attention on the puddle of solid-state batteries, then this test data is equivalent to a depth bomb.
Let everyone's balance shift from the initial swing to trust.
In addition, as netizens dug into the solid-state battery laboratory, they not only learned that Deepin Technology had invested in and established three new laboratories despite the lack of funds.
It was also discovered that the person in charge of the solid-state battery technology project was Xu Yun.
You must know that what netizens are best at is making inferences based on limited information.
Thinking of Xu Yun's previous confident statement that he wanted to study materials chemistry and put theoretical mathematics into practical applications, he was disliked by many experts and scholars in the field of chemical materials.
But Deepin Technology has announced solid-state battery technology so quickly, which is obviously well-prepared.
This shows that Xu Yun should have been researching solid-state batteries for a long time and made substantial progress. Only then did he say that he would devote himself to the field of chemical materials at the Abel Prize award ceremony.
Clear.
Now everything is clear.
As this speculation was recognized by many netizens, several new topics were added to the hot search lists of major website platforms.
“All-solid-state battery technology is ushering in a major breakthrough.”
"Xu Yun."
"Xu Yun designed a new solid-state battery."
"A true genius."
Netizens' enthusiasm increased again, and the number of views on the topic exceeded 100 million in the shortest time.
If you click on a soft article or video with related content, you can see a lot of latest comments.
"Other people set up companies to find ways to make money, but Xu Yun used it all to invest in laboratories for research. A total of four top laboratories in cutting-edge fields are really afraid that there will be problems with deep science and technology funds."
"Some people nominally want to establish a global research institute, but in the end they make the laboratory responsible for its own profits and losses. I won't name them here, but I understand."
"No wonder Xu Shen wanted to join the field of chemical materials before. It turns out that he had already made a technological breakthrough in batteries."
"As for the people who said it was difficult for Xu Shen to achieve success in chemistry before, let's ask if they are slapped in the face now."
“Don’t you think the actual test data of Deepin Technology’s solid-state battery is very strong? Let’s not talk about safety and size. It has three times the energy density, shorter charging time and long life of ordinary lithium batteries. This is great. Our technology is world-leading.”
"The key is that the production cost is almost the same as that of lithium batteries. This is the most important thing."
"I don't know when it will be available. I originally wanted to buy a gasoline car, but now it seems I can wait."
"In addition to the solid-state battery laboratory and the previous smart medical research laboratory, Deepin Technology also has two new laboratories, the artificial intelligence laboratory and the biological research laboratory. I wonder if they will also surprise us by then."
…
As the voices on the Internet become louder and louder, many battery companies and car companies find it difficult to calm down. Under such circumstances, they have held emergency high-level company meetings to study.
If the news about solid-state batteries is false, that's it. If new technologies are really used to reduce costs, they must do everything possible to cooperate with Deepin Technology and obtain authorization for solid-state battery technology.
Otherwise, what awaits the company is that it will be eliminated by the market, and even a market value of hundreds of billions and trillions will not be able to escape and be evaporated.
But at the same time, this is also an opportunity. Whoever can stand out can completely monopolize the battery market.
No matter what the outcome is, it is destined to be a good opportunity with both benefits and risks.
