Monster Factory

Chapter 654: Energy Bureau.

Basically, General Manager Martin has nothing to be ashamed of when he took this step. His Tesla car was not only a new energy business card in the United States but also a giant in the global new energy vehicle industry. He can see the President once or twice a year. His special encrypted cell phone is also the identity symbol of American businessmen. He belongs only to a small group of businessmen standing at the top of the pyramid in their respective fields.

Hearing the emotionless voice on the phone, Martin took a deep breath.

“Hello, I’m Mr. Martin, the General Manager of Tesla.”

The other party paused for a few seconds and then said: “Hello, Mr. Martin, your caller ID and caller ID have been successfully verified. What can I do for you?”

“I would like to make an appointment with Mr. Ackland, Director of the Office of Energy. I have important information to report here. ~ Two days ago, Tesla received a delivery from China, a Shi Lei car through special channels. Today, we tested it with sophisticated electronic equipment. The plasma battery carried by this Shi Lei car has exceeded the technical limitations that we can touch. ~ We are now testing the charging and discharging capacity of this battery, and I think we need to pay great attention to this issue. ~ Because this is a mass-produced battery, it may slaughter all the commercial batteries in the world. If we do not act and sit idly by, it will be a complete meltdown in battery power.”

The receptionist quietly heard Martin’s words and after he was done talking she mentioned: “I need a detailed debriefing, if the data is as you said I would make an appointment to you with Mr. Ackland for you.”

Martin nodded, hung up the phone, and asked the engineers to prepare the data reports immediately.

……

The real beast is there, and the rest of the battery makers are lambs.

……

General Manager Martin hung the line anxiously, now is not the time to compare the technology of the Tesla car with that of the Shi Lei car, but the crossroads that will determine the future fate of the Tesla car is not too far. At the same time, it is also the hub of the battery power industry in the United States. Relying only on himself, he could not compete with the Huge Industrial Monster and had to rely on the power of the country.

After an hour, the material is ready. Martin immediately sent it to the White House office by encrypted electronic fax. Half an hour later, the other party called back.

“Mr. Martin, you must come to Washington with this set of plasma batteries, Mr. Ackland, can you find time to meet at four o’clock in the afternoon.”

“Okay, I’ll arrange the trip immediately,” the restless Martin quickly asked people to rent a charter plane from a small flight company.

……

The US Energy Administration is a major department of the federal government, headquartered in Washington, with more than 40 subordinate departments, primarily responsible for energy research and management, and has management rights, including nuclear energy and new energies.

Mr. Ackland is one of the most powerful directors of the federal government’s fifteen departments.

The Director Mr. Ackland also heard about the latest energy vehicle launched by the Huge Industrial Monster. However, there are too many things he has to pay attention to on a daily basis. In addition, the Shi Lei car has just been released, and all the information is not transparent enough. On the other hand, Director Ackland hasn’t received any newsworthy of his attention.

When this morning the White House received a briefing from Tesla’s General Manager, and when the information was placed on the desk, Director Ackland’s first reaction was that it was impossible.

Battery energy density is limited by materials, and scientists have experimented with all materials that can currently be combined. It’s not there aren’t better materials than lithium-polymer, but those materials can only be played in the lab right now, and even if someone wants to put them on the market, there is no technology for mass production.

The energy density of plasma batteries is three times that of lithium-polymer batteries? Can it be cycled 2000 times in deep charge and discharge? Only thirty minutes of zero-to-hundred charge time? Is it even more powerful than lab-stored technology? Does this mean the Shi Lei car does not need to replace the battery even if it is scrapped?

Had this information been submitted by the Information and Intelligence Service below, Director Ackland allegedly took it as a joke, then crumpled it up and threw it in the trash. But it was submitted by Tesla General Manager Mr. Martin, who can doubt that Martin hadn’t scientifically tested it rigorously to arrive at this report?

Moreover, the Shi Lei car is the latest product launched by Huge Industrial Monster. No matter how busy Director Ackland is, he knows that his colleague Lancelot, the director of the Environmental Protection Agency, is to blame because of that company’s products.

But… Until he saw the plasma cell, Director Ackland still couldn’t believe the contents of these reports.

At four o’clock in the afternoon, Director Ackland specially selected several technical experts from the Energetic Materials Laboratory to attend this meeting.

“Plasma cell? The name is unreliable. Electricity is energy. When did it become a material?”

“Three times the energy density of lithium-polymer batteries? That’s impossible either.”

“What does Tesla do, which kind of stuff cans Tesla believe in?”

Several energy materials experts shook their heads when they read the report, they know more about batteries than Director Ackland because they are convinced no one can break the limits of current material technology.

But the truth is always so cruel. When Director Ackland in the office met with General Manager Martin and when the energetic materials experts used the instruments they were carrying, and they all saw the real results, they were completely frozen in place, as if they were all affected by Medusa’s magic.

There was a huge wave in their hearts. After struggling to get out of the petrified state, the first thing they did was lie on the plasma battery and observe the mysterious liquid inside the battery with eyes that stare at treasures.

“It’s… how is it possible?”

“Mr. Martin, are you sure this is really a mass-produced car battery from Huge Industrial Monster and not a disassembled battery from an alien spacecraft?”

“God ~ I’ve never seen this kind of liquid matter, it looks like some kind of liquid metal.”

“It’s amazing, Mr. Martin, I think it is necessary for us to disassemble this transparent shell and analyze the elements of the liquid metal.”

“There are eight batteries in total, and you can take one for research.” Director Ackland quickly stopped the pundits’ sighs. As a result, a huge crisis has arisen as they need to find countermeasures as soon as possible.

“I just want to know what impact this battery will have on us.”

“Yes…”

“If we can’t develop the same technology, Tesla will be the first to die,” one of the materials engineers swore to guarantee.

“You can’t develop it,” Managing Director Martin also swore: “In the field of batteries, our Tesla is no worse than your energy materials lab. We disassembled a plasma battery and analyzed the composition of the liquid metal inside. ~ We could detect the composition of various metal compounds, but the composition has changed. It is as if water has become ice or like carbon has become steel, it’s a completely new substance, and I’ve never even seen it before.”

“Not just Tesla, but the entire battery industry in Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea will face a cold winter.”

“For the military field, I think the impact will be more severe,” another expert said solemnly: “These liquid materials seem to have great plasticity and if applied to the military field, they can certainly improve the performance of many electronic products by an order of magnitude.”
