Technological power starts with upgrading lenses.

Chapter 197 Speak freely

After explaining the tasks of Daqin Optics, Kang Chi asked Ming Yuhan about the situation of Dahan Silicon Industry.

Since Longteng Technology was on the selection list, the expansion speed of the international market has been obviously hindered. Although there are some who are not afraid of the old M, they are in the minority after all, especially those with demand for 12-inch silicon wafers. Generally, they are not small countries or regions with the demand for international trade. He is relatively strong and doesn't dare to touch old M's brow.

However, as the demand in the domestic semiconductor market begins to rise, this part of the planned export capacity has gradually come into use. Therefore, Kangchi has nothing to say about Dahan Silicon Industry. Just let them stabilize first.

Next is Dahan Core Industry.

"You should also have heard that the National Supercomputing Project has been canceled due to some reasons, so the next strategic direction will undergo major adjustments."

Kang Chi stood on the podium and said solemnly to Wang Haowen and others,

"The tasks that you, Dahan Core, will take over, in addition to helping Daqin Optical design and manufacture sensors, will also include the manufacturing of terminal equipment for CPUs and graphics cards, as well as driver updates and upgrades. In terms of computer hardware, you will assist the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in completing the construction of Xuanyuan Ecosystem."

"Because Xuanyuan Ecosystem needs to be rebuilt, the hardware price can be lower during the initial promotion period, as long as it does not lose money. When the number of PC users of Xuanyuan Ecosystem reaches more than 30 million, it will gradually increase to the normal price."

"In addition, in order to build the Xuanyuan ecology, the higher authorities will probably introduce certain support policies. You can pay more attention to it in the future."

Wang Haowen nodded while taking notes: "Understood!"

After arranging Dahan Core Industry, the next step is the highlight of the day.

Because Kang Chi basically works at Datang Heavy Industries besides being at home, so he knows the situation of Datang Heavy Industries best.

In the oil-producing insect production department that Fang Qiang is in charge of, the three thousand seconded engineers and technicians will have to go back to their homes and find their mothers in four months.

In order to fill this gap, the human resources department has been recruiting people continuously in the past six months, so the manufacturing speed of oil-picking insects has been steadily accelerating, and the current monthly production capacity has exceeded 100 units.

But by October, once those 3,000 people leave, production capacity is expected to drop slightly.

This is normal.

The problem is, there is an abnormal situation now,

Many of the more than 3,000 seconded people have privately expressed their opinions to Datang Heavy Industries’ personnel:

They don't want to leave!

I just feel that the new club is better than the old club.

Even if they have to give up their jobs in state-owned enterprises, they still want to come to Datang Heavy Industries!

This is a bit embarrassing.

Kang Chi wanted to keep them. After all, most of the three thousand people were very capable technicians. Many of them could join the R&D department of Datang Heavy Industries, or even become R&D team leaders.

Placing them in the production department is a bit of a waste of talent.

However, the dispatch contract clearly stated that they were here to help create oil-producing insects, and Kang Chi had no right to let them conduct other research.

But if the dispatch contract expires, they submit their resignation to their old employer, and then sign a labor contract with Datang Heavy Industries, Kang Chi can arrange for them as he pleases.

It's just that someone was kind enough to lend it to you, but you just poached it all?

It's somewhat unkind.

So Kang Chi will only keep them unless they get the consent of their old club.

But Kang Chi doesn't have to worry about this kind of thing, Zhang Qing and the human resources department will naturally handle it properly.

Generally speaking, the production of oil-mining insects is basically no problem. At the same time, with a monthly gross profit of 5 to 6 billion, it has become the group's most profitable project at present.

Kang Chi ignored Fang Qiang and asked Yan Hui, "Have you finished handing over the work over there?"

"Yes." Yan Hui nodded immediately, "The lithography machine production department can now carry out normal production of lithography machines without me. I am going to let Dr. Zhang Hou be the new department head." Kang Chi He nodded: "As long as you think he can do the job, then you can come over to the R&D department and help me work on a new sodium battery project."

Sodium battery?

Everyone immediately guessed that this was probably the highlight of this meeting.

Although the matter of Datang Heavy Industry actually had nothing to do with several other companies, Fang Qiming, Wang Haowen and others still pricked up their ears and listened with great interest.

When Yan Hui heard that his next main task was to help Kangchi develop sodium batteries, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He doesn't have any objections to battery development. First of all, the market is very large. Whether it is electric vehicles or energy storage, the future prospects are great, and it is also in line with the country's overall strategic direction of developing clean energy.

But why sodium batteries?

"Mr. Kang thinks sodium batteries have greater potential than lithium batteries?" Yan Hui asked curiously.

Kang Chi shook his head: "It's not a question of potential, but a question of cost."

After speaking, he directly glanced at everyone present: "In fact, in addition to Datang Heavy Industry, you can also participate, whether it is from the perspective of ordinary consumers, or from the perspective of companies or countries... First of all, I want to ask Everyone, what do you think is the main problem restricting the development of new energy vehicles now?"

Everyone pondered for a moment, and then Fang Qiming was the first to take the initiative to speak: "The issue of battery life anxiety."

Kang Chi nodded. He knew that Fang Qiming bought a pure electric Han last year. As a pure electric car owner, he probably has a deep understanding of the anxiety about battery life.

"Then what do you think is the most effective solution to battery life anxiety?"

"Increase the cruising range."

"How much cruising range is enough? One thousand kilometers or two thousand kilometers?"

"This...of course the higher the better."

"Actually, I think the core issue of battery life anxiety is not battery range, but energy replenishment anxiety." Yan Hui couldn't help but interjected,

"Assuming that there is a breakthrough in lithium battery technology and the battery life exceeds 1,000 or even 2,000, let's not discuss its price. Whether ordinary consumers can afford it, I think the issue of energy replenishment is still a problem."

"No matter how long your battery life is, you still need to recharge it, right?"

"There should always be time for queuing and waiting for charging, right? Especially during holidays when others go out to play, you have to count the battery life when traveling around with new energy sources. You don't dare to turn on the air conditioner for fear of running out of power. Waiting in line for hours to recharge, let alone traveling far away.”

"In addition, I believe that before you buy a car and pay for it, the salesperson will definitely tell you that the car's fast charging time is very short, but when it comes time to deliver the car, they will tell you that fast charging will damage the battery and ask you to go back and charge it as slowly as possible. Bar?"

"In addition, in order to catch up with the low electricity prices, many car owners who do not have charging piles at home like to go out to find charging piles to charge in the middle of the night in order to save money. If things go on like this, this method of recharging energy will definitely become tiring."

"So, I think the key to solving the anxiety about battery life is actually to solve the anxiety about energy replenishment. In fact, I am very optimistic about NIO's battery replacement method. However, this method also has many problems. I will not analyze it here."

"But assuming we can solve the problem of battery replacement and replenishment encountered by NIO, and then spread this method to every gas station across the country, I believe battery life anxiety will not be a problem at all."

"At the same time, everyone no longer has to pursue the so-called ultra-long cruising range, and the battery on each car does not have to be so large. For example, if we make a car's fuel tank smaller, it can only drive three hundred kilometers, but because There are gas stations everywhere, so he won’t actually have any anxiety about battery life, worrying about stopping at any time along the way.”

"This also solves another issue that I think is important: price."

"Today's new energy vehicles are too expensive. Cheap electric vehicles have short battery life, causing serious anxiety about battery life. The price of long battery life is more expensive than luxury cars. Most people can't afford it, so they might as well buy fuel worth RMB 100,000. With a car, even if you save money to refuel, the car may be scrapped, so you don’t have to worry about battery life.”

"So I think that if the price of gasoline and electricity can be the same, or even cheaper than that of gasoline vehicles, and the anxiety of energy replenishment can be solved at the same time, new energy can truly spread to thousands of households."

Speaking of this, Yan Hui was suddenly stunned.

If I remember correctly, Kangchi seemed to say just now that it's not a question of potential, but a question of cost. '

So, in fact, he and Kang Chi most likely want to go together?

He couldn't help but look at Kang Chi, and Kang Chi also smiled and nodded to Yan Hui. After everyone had almost digested Yan Hui's words, he then asked: "Does anyone have anything to add? "
