Chapter 203: Helping the growth of seedlings
In the early stage of the battery swap station and sodium battery projects, Datang Heavy Industry was very low-key, without any publication or publicity.
But such a big move naturally could not be hidden from the leading enterprises in the energy industry and some media reporters with a keen sense of smell.
So soon, some gossip quickly became news headlines and spread on the Internet.
”Dr. Kang has made another big move recently! An insider said that Datang Heavy Industry will invest hundreds of billions to lay out new energy vehicle battery swap stations on a large scale across the country! 》
”Battery swap VS fast charging, who is the future of new energy? 》
”Can Datang Heavy Industry’s battery swap station solve the embarrassing situation of pure electric vehicles? 》
”Shock! Dr. Kang has challenged the entire new energy vehicle industry! 》
”New dark horse? Master Kong brand new energy vehicles are coming! 》
…
The headlines of the media were naturally eye-catching and exaggerated as always.
And this news quickly aroused heated discussions among netizens across the country.
“Is it true? How much investment is needed?”
”I have a friend who works at a gas station. Their gas station has been sold to Datang Heavy Industry to build a battery swap station, so this should be a real deal.”
”Battery swap station? Who will be swapped for battery? NIO?”
”Does it mean that after building a battery swap station, new energy vehicle companies will obediently build electric vehicles with separated batteries for you?”
”Can Master Kong build its own cars?”
”Build it yourself? Do you want to be another NIO? The key is that they didn’t build cars first, but built so many battery swap stations… Aren’t they afraid that they won’t be able to sell the cars and lose all their money?”
”I think building battery swap stations first can show Master Kong’s sincerity and determination to promote battery swap. I’m just about to change my car. If Master Kong really builds so many battery swap stations, then I will really consider buying Master Kong’s electric car. Otherwise, it’s better to continue driving a gasoline car, at least there’s no range anxiety.”
”Buy an electric car? I’m afraid you’ll be scared to death when you see the price.”
”Nonsense, I, Mr. Kang, always love my fans. Do you understand technology concessions?”
”+1, I support Master Kang’s battery swap model. In fact, it should have been done long ago, otherwise the range anxiety will be too serious.”
”Buy a car with a longer range, anxiety level -99.”
”I want to buy it, but looking at the price, my wallet is -99, so forget it. With that money, I can buy a luxury car and save ten years of fuel costs.”
”NIO has built more than 2,000 battery swap stations. Until now, Mr. Li has to lose 60 million every day when he wakes up. Dr. Kang has such a big plate, he must lose 600 million every day when he wakes up, right? Aren’t you afraid of a broken capital chain and bankruptcy? I feel sorry for Dr. Kang!”
……
Although most netizens think the battery swap model is good, they basically think Kang Chi is another Mr. Li of NIO. Although the ideal is beautiful, the reality is very skinny. It is definitely a loss to engage in new energy.
This also reflects that most people are actually quite resistant to new energy vehicles.
The reason is that the bad experience of the first batch of new energy vehicle owners has left a very bad impression on everyone. Even with such great support from the state, they finally embarked on the road of “new energy” of oil-electric hybrid.
In addition to netizens, battery manufacturers are also very confused about Datang Heavy Industry’s operation.
Where do they get their batteries to build so many battery swap stations?
Especially CATL and BYD, two companies that account for half of the lithium battery market.
At least, they have not received any battery orders from Datang Heavy Industry, nor have they heard that Datang Heavy Industry has contacted anyone.
Is Datang Heavy Industry going to enter the battery industry and make batteries by itself? But even if you have the technology, can such a large demand for battery production capacity be produced in a short period of time? Their doubts did not last for a few days. Suddenly, rumors frequently spread in the industry, saying that Datang Heavy Industry acquired several lithium battery factories today and several lead-acid battery factories tomorrow. Although they were all small second- and third-tier enterprises, all the news seemed to be confirmed. Datang Heavy Industry was preparing to make batteries by itself.
This made the lithium battery industry, which was already highly competitive, suddenly shout: The wolf is coming! But is Kangchi really a wolf? Obviously not. If Kangchi really expands the new energy and energy storage market, the production capacity of all domestic battery factories combined may not be able to meet the demand. There is no problem of overcapacity.
It’s just that there isWhen the meat is fed to the mouth, it is easy to be suspicious, but the sour plum seen from afar makes people drool…
This is human instinct, and no one can be blamed.
So what Kang Chi has to do is not to feed meat, but to throw a sour plum.
Just when Kang Chi was fully devoted to the manufacturing of the sodium battery production line, Daqin Optics suddenly received good news.
The Tongwu camera is made!
This is a medium-format video camera made by He Yongbin according to Kang Chi’s requirements.
When Kang Chi received this camera, he was actually quite surprised.
Compared with the stitched monster sent over when they developed the Wu’an camera last time, this medium-format camera that they made in just over a month actually looks quite like that from the outside.
The square and thick body design, plus the super-large bayonet that is basically circled on the body, and the huge sensor behind the bayonet, the momentum is very strong at first glance.
And its workmanship is also remarkable, all parts fit tightly together, and even a strand of hair can’t be stuffed in.
Not bad!
This progress can be said to be amazing!
Kang Chi was very satisfied with He Yongbin’s performance.
However, when it was actually used, it was found that it was not the case at all…
This machine was made by them, to put it bluntly, it was just a Wu’an camera with a different sensor and a large bayonet.
Although the video performance has also been greatly improved, reaching 4K120P, it is obvious that the potential of this sensor has not been fully squeezed.
In addition, the contrast focus is also very difficult when shooting videos, so it is more like forcing a camera to become a video machine.
However, it is actually very rare to be able to make such a camera in such a short time, and Kang Chi cannot expect them to have a big breakthrough in technology.
Sure enough, it is still necessary to force the growth of seedlings.
General experience -5000. Kang Chi directly upgraded this camera.
[Item: Medium Format Digital Camera]
[Manufacturer: Daqin Optics]
[Item Level: 2]
[Experience: 0/10000]
[Item Status: Intact]
[Main Parameters of Item: 20 million pixels, up to 4K240P, 6K60P video shooting, phase focus mode, 5-level body image stabilization, SDD storage medium]
[Analysis Item: Analyzable]
[General Experience: 84894 (-5000)]
[Mastery Points: 67]
After pointing out phase focus and improving the performance in all aspects, Kang Chi decisively stopped and did not continue to upgrade.
He currently does not want to invest too many mastery points in this area. Anyway, this performance is completely sufficient, and it can even be said to be very powerful!
