"Today, the laboratory stage is successful. You have people prepare the raw materials, and the mass production experiment will be carried out in three days." Chen Mo said.

"Ok."

Chapter 68 Announcement!

"Positive electrode material, lithium cobaltate gel, negative electrode material carbon crystal. The limited voltage is 3.86V, the charging limited voltage is 4.5V, and the rated capacity is 8500mAh..."

Mo Nu was reporting the battery data, but Chen Mo was watching carefully with the battery in his hand.

In three days, after pulping, coating and assembling, Chen Mo finally succeeded in making the first carbon crystal-based lithium-ion battery according to the battery size of the butterfly eye.

Like all ordinary batteries, carbon crystal-based batteries also include three parts: positive, negative and electrolyte, but the difference is the material.

Carbon crystals can greatly increase the charge and discharge capacity of lithium ions and the number of charges.

This makes the capacity of carbon crystal-based lithium-ion batteries better than batteries made of other materials.

There are defects in the atomic structure of carbon crystals, making it not very rigid, tough and ductile.So it is not as versatile as a super material like graphene. Its only use is to serve as the negative electrode of the battery and intercalate lithium ions.

It is this single use that limits its continued development, so it is a low-level technology.

However, before the graphene battery technology is fully mature, carbon crystal-based batteries are a very good product.Because of its capacity, it is probably more than twice the capacity of lithium-ion batteries already on the market.

"Mr. Mo, your related technology of carbon crystal synthesis has been compiled into a patent application document and printed out." Chen Mo put down the battery in his hand and said.

"Okay, Brother Mo."

After a while, the printer connected to the computer in the laboratory rang.Chen Mo left the laboratory after receiving the technical patent materials for carbon crystal synthesis.

Today is the day of mass production experiment, Zhao Min has already been waiting for him.

Walking to Zhao Min's office, Chen Mo handed her the patent application materials in his hand: "This is the patent application materials of Carbon Crystal."

"So fast?"

Zhao Min picked up the document and glanced at it. There were a lot of technical terms on it, but she just put it down after looking at it.

For new materials, Zhao Min is extremely curious about Chen Mo's head now.What exactly is inside, and how long does it take from the discovery of new materials to their application?

This kind of research period is terribly short, and those who don't know it think that Tesla has been reborn.

"I was sorting out the data at the beginning of the experiment. Next, let's go to the factory. The battery has come out, and the materials are confirmed to be useful. Next is the mass production experiment." Chen Mo said.

"What is the capacity of the battery it produces?" Zhao Min asked curiously.

"Are you using Butterfly Eye now? The new battery has come out. Preliminary calculations will allow it to last for 35 hours."

Zhao Min gasped, his eyes full of surprise.

In the current market, the battery life of a common mobile phone is only a dozen hours. Chen Mo’s figure means that the battery life of the mobile phone has more than doubled.

"Let's go to the factory."

Zhao Min followed Chen Mo to leave the office, the two walked out, Xiao Yu also followed Chen Mo with the documents in his arms.Galloping all the way, a group of people came to the factory mightily.

After Chen Mo said he entered the industry, Zhao Min began to buy factories.This factory is the closest to the company's office building, so it has also been transformed into a pilot factory for research.

The equipment Chen Morang bought has already been installed here, and the raw materials for graphite are also ready.

As soon as they arrived at the factory, the director of the factory hurriedly greeted them.

The director of the factory is Wan Mingyi, a middle-aged man in his 40s.In the past, the factory closed down, the boss took money to go abroad, and defaulted on bank loans and employee wages. The court auctioned off the factory and equipment, and Zhao Min finally bought them all. The workers are still from the original factory and are very familiar with some production processes.

After Wan Mingyi saw Chen Mo and Zhao Min, he also became cautious.

Now, anyone who pays attention to the news of Marching Army Ant Company knows this name, especially the people in Binhai City.

"Where is the production workshop?" Chen Mo asked.

"Over here." Wan Mingyi said to you.

"Let some clever technicians come over, and I'll tell you the production process and some precautions." Chen Mo said.

"Ok."

Wan Mingyi ordered a few technicians from the factory workers, followed behind Chen Mo, and entered the production workshop.

Seeing the machines and high-pressure reaction tanks in the workshop, Chen Mo walked over, turned on the control system of the equipment, and began to set parameters.For the production of carbon crystals, this data is the most important. If it is wrong, the purity of carbon crystals will be affected.

"Start feeding now." Chen Mo said, "Two people come to operate the reaction tank." Chen Mo called out to the employees behind.

"Ah Hua, Daqiang, you two go over." Wan Mingyi said to the two young technicians beside him.

"boss."

After the two walked to Chen Mo's side, they greeted Chen Mo cautiously.They have to admire this boss who is younger than them.

"In this position, the thing to do is very simple, which is to be responsible for the switch of the reaction tank. After the raw materials are put in, the reaction tank will be turned on. I have set the specific parameters. The temperature indicator light will indicate that it is completed, and you will turn on the pressurization button..."

Chen Mo explained all the required steps to the two of them, and he stopped only after making sure that both of them understood.

Chen Mo did not tell anyone the specific data.Data is the key to the synthesis of carbon crystals. If the data is exposed, then my efforts will be in vain.

"Let me demonstrate the operation once." After putting in the raw materials, Chen Mo turned on the reactor.

The people behind all looked at the reaction tank.After about 15 minutes, the high-pressure reaction tank stopped operating.

After the reaction tank was opened, a large pile of carbon wafers of different sizes were all dumped on the assembly line.All the machines stopped, and the employees of the factory all focused their attention on the carbon crystal piles on the conveyor line.

This dark thing is what they want to produce.

Chen Mo took out a piece of carbon crystal from the assembly line, walked to the instrument, and put it into it.Not long after, seeing the 79% purity displayed above, Chen Mo frowned.

It is 3% lower than the purity of the laboratory, which is lower than the standard of 80.

This is understandable. After all, the instruments and equipment in the laboratory are much more sophisticated than here. Under the same conditions, the purity is slightly lower, which is completely acceptable.

"This batch of materials will be discarded and destroyed, and the raw materials will continue to be put in."

Chen Mo picked up the notebook and wrote down the current parameters. After a little calculation, he walked back to the instrument and started another experiment.

The precision of the equipment is different, which has an impact on production.

After modifying the data, while waiting, Chen Mo explained other things to pay attention to.

"Director Wan, when production starts in the future, for each batch of materials, you will have someone randomly select 20 pieces for testing. Once there is a piece with a purity lower than 80, just like just now, all the materials in that batch will be discarded."

"Okay." Wan Mingyi nodded.

Two hours later, Chen Mo looked at the 82% displayed on the purity test and let out a sigh of relief.After four data revisions, the purity was finally improved.

"In the future, we will produce according to this data, and the reaction will be poured there. We must control it well."

"Understood." Wan Mingyi nodded.

The success of the mass production test has made many people breathe a sigh of relief.After explaining some things clearly, Chen Mocai and the others rushed back to the company.After telling Zhao Min to buy more factories and prepare for battery production, Chen Mo returned to the office.

"Ink girl."

"Brother Mo, Mo Nu is here." As soon as Chen Mo opened his mouth, Mo Nu said.

"On the company's official website, in my name, announce the news of the discovery of the new material carbon crystal, and don't publish the technical data."

Chapter 69 You go home and take care of him

"Jianguo, is there any big news from Marching Army Ant Company?"

"No, after the last cleanup, those sailors have been honest. Marching Army Ant Company has been calm for the past half month, with no major incidents, and it is probably developing dullly. There are a lot of news about their acquisition of factories and recruitment of personnel. .”

He Jianguo took out the Butterfly Eye phone he just bought, connected it to the computer, and prepared to download a smart assistant.The smart assistant is not expensive, and the voice interaction is very good, and it can input by voice.

For writers like them, it is extremely convenient.Moreover, the army ants smart assistant can also let him experience the feeling of future black technology.

He had just entered the official website of Marching Army Ant Company, and a newly updated news on the official website caught his attention.

"new material?"

He Jianguo clicked into the announcement and read it quietly. Every time, surprise appeared on his face: "Big news, Marching Army Ant Company released an announcement and discovered a new battery material, carbon crystal."

He Jianguo almost yelled these words. As soon as he finished speaking, several colleagues in the office immediately surrounded him.

"Is Marching Ant Company going to expand its strategy again?"

"I guess so."

"Hurry up and write, catch the news..."

……

It wasn't just them who got the news.The Army Ant Company has been in high spirits recently, and any big movement is a huge news point.

Since the release of the last smart assistant, Marching Ant Company has become one of the major technology giants in China.As long as you stand on your feet, it is almost certain that another unicorn company will appear in China soon.

In the last smear incident, after the navy company was taken away for spreading rumors, the marching army ant company fell silent, and there was not much news about the marching army ant company.

This time a new battery material is coming.

The news quickly spread on the Internet, and many media directly reprinted the announcement of Marching Ant Company without rushing to the manuscript.

The news point came again, and many people began to grab the heat.Anyway, during this period of time, apart from the news of celebrity divorce, cheating, and dating, there is not much new news in China.

The army ant company has always been a hot topic, so many people choose the new material of the army ant company to report.

However, in the announcement of the army ant company, it has been stated that the capacity of the new material is only 2-3 times that of the existing battery, and it has a single purpose.So when the news came out, it was not as sensational as the smart assistant.

"To be reasonable, I thought it was big news. This new material is too restrictive, so it doesn't have much research value, right? With cutting-edge technology, it is almost a matter of minutes to increase the capacitance by 2-3 times. If you spend a lot of money to Studying carbon crystals may not be worth the candle.”

"In any case, it is a new material. If carbon crystal technology can mature quickly, at least as an excessive material, our electronic products such as mobile phones, tablet computers and personal PCs can increase the battery life by 2-3 times, which is already very happy. "

"Graphene battery is just a gimmick. In theory, graphene can only improve charge and discharge efficiency, but not capacity. This kind of gimmick is greater than its practical value. Moreover, the material is expensive, and it is almost impossible to use it as an electrode in an ordinary battery. , I am optimistic about this carbon crystal."

……

In the discussion on the Internet, attitudes are different.

In this era, new battery materials are constantly being discovered.

The legendary graphene battery is one of the best.But for graphene batteries, many people have different attitudes, and the debate has never stopped.

The carbon crystal discovery this time can only increase by 2-3 times, so it did not cause much sensation among ordinary people.This is just the discovery of new materials and has no impact on their lives, so most people will not pay attention.

Zhao Min is thinking about how to produce mobile phones.The smart assistant, plus the new battery, is sure to be a big selling point.

However, the problem with the new battery is that the new material of carbon crystal has appeared, and the new battery is still being tested. In addition, the smart assistant does not plan to be removed from the shelves so soon, so it will take some time for the second mobile phone to be mass-produced.

When she was thinking about how to deal with a lot of problems, Xiao Yu knocked on the door and walked in.

"Sister Zhao, he posted an announcement on the official website, announcing the news of the carbon crystal material, and it has now spread on the Internet."

"Xiao Yu, let me tell you something."

"Sister Zhao, tell me."

"You go home and take care of him."

Zhao Min tapped his head, his face full of helplessness.The company's affairs are already messy enough, but this guy actually came out to give her another problem.

"This... I can't control him." Xiao Yu blushed when Zhao Min said this.He wasn't very thick-skinned at first, but now he was teased face to face by Zhao Min.

"It's okay." Zhao Min heaved a sigh of relief after clicking on the announcement on the official website.

"Xiao Yu, show him the design drawings of the company's headquarters, and let me handle the matter of carbon crystals. Now that the company doesn't have the energy to spare for the time being, you can talk to him about it."

"Okay." Xiao Yu nodded.

After Xiao Yu left, Zhao Min rubbed his brows.

Chen Mo didn't participate in the company's management, so he didn't know how complicated the company's affairs were.

Now the company expands, a whole bunch of things.The headquarters is also about to start construction, mobile phone business, smart assistants, as well as the establishment of research institutes and the acquisition of factory companies.

Chen Mo doesn't need to manage these things now, she has to deal with them. If another battery is added, the company has a shortage of talents, and there is no way to allocate manpower to manage this area.

In the office, Chen Mo looked at Xiao Yu and blinked innocently.

He really didn't know that there were so many things going on in the company, but after being told by Xiao Yu, he realized now that it was true when he thought about it.

Since the last smear incident subsided, Zhao Min kept his head buried and kept a low profile, without sending out any news.

Now the army ant company is too big to lose, Zhao Min's purpose is to divert the public's attention, and then the army ant company can grow quietly.It's just that I didn't expect that Chen Mo's announcement made Marching Ant Company show off its presence in front of the public.
