From Propulsion City To Multiverse

Central America.

The moment when the Panama Canal ran into rivers of blood, Evans and his cruise ship became a movie, a movie in the true sense.

Da Shi on the bank, and Wang Miao, who was pale and complicated, looked at the wreckage sinking into the canal in silence.

Evans and the ETO members on board were all annihilated under the nanowire without making a sound.

A large number of agents who had already been lurking on both sides of the river, as well as salvage boats and cranes, moved quickly.

Their target was on the ship. The Evans faction had information about the Trisolarans, some of which were technology, and more about the purpose of the Trisolarans.

For example, the expedition fleet of the Trisolarans will arrive in the solar system in four hundred years. .

All countries immediately mobilized astronomical telescopes, hoping to observe clues. Their observation area was the vast starry sky between the Trisolaran galaxy and the solar system.

These news, coupled with the many intelligences obtained from Evans, caused the five major powers to panic.

After all, how they fight inside the earth is an internal matter of human beings, but suddenly faced with menacing aliens, the five major powers have to abandon some internal fighting plans and turn to deal with the threat of the Trisolarans.

For the killing of strings in the Panama Canal, Wang Gao, who was buried in the company and teaching students, did not pay too much attention.

He knew Evans had been sliced ​​after seeing the Panama Canal accident in news reports.

The coastal area of ​​Huizhou in the south of Lingnan.

A small industrial area was acquired by New World Corporation, and it was built and transformed into a new type of battery factory.

Wang Gao, Fang Liheng and others are inspecting this battery factory. As a condition for investing in the factory, the Huizhou local government agreed to help New World Company speed up the approval of the new battery's birth certificate.

It is the end of July now, and after the production line has just been remodeled, the birth certificate and other related documents for the new battery have come down.

New World's new battery is not a lithium battery, nor a lead-acid battery, but a salt battery.

To be precise, it is a sodium solid-state battery.

The production line has already trial-produced a batch of salt batteries.

Boss Qin, it seems that our battery performance can't beat the lithium battery? Fang Liheng reminded with some worry.

Wang Gao said with a smile: 0.125 kWh per kilogram,

It is indeed inferior to lithium batteries, but the safety and cost of lithium batteries are a fatal problem.

His assistant took out a production cost estimate and handed it to Fang Liheng.

After Fang Liheng read it, he immediately knew the great advantages of salt batteries. In terms of safety, service life, low temperature resistance, and environmental friendliness, salt batteries are superior to lithium batteries and lead-acid batteries.

In terms of the crucial cost, once it is mass-produced, it only needs about 0.23 Chinese yuan per kilogram.

Adding the electric control, outsourcing and printing of the battery, as well as the depreciation fee of the production line, labor and tax, the overall cost is about 0.5-0.6 Chinese yuan per kilogram.

Now lead-acid batteries and lithium batteries have their own problems. Although salt batteries are not as good as lithium batteries in terms of storage capacity, they can crush lead-acid batteries, and the cost is very low.

Moreover, the power storage advantages of lithium batteries are actually not obvious. Even Panasonic Battery, a leading lithium battery company, only sells lithium batteries at a rate of about 0.175 kWh per kilogram at this stage.

The cost of lithium batteries is very high. After all, the reserves of lithium ore on the earth's surface are not high, while sodium chloride is everywhere on the earth. The raw materials of the two determine the competitiveness of each other.

What's more, the safety and stability of salt batteries are very good.

Wang Gao took out this technology just to lay a foundation for the further development of New World Company.

At this time, with the help of Ben Universe, Wang Gao quickly launched several electric motorcycles and electric cars.

Then, in the name of environmental protection, they built their own solar power stations, wind power stations, and built storage plants using cheap salt batteries.

Photovoltaic and wind power are typical garbage power, known as the grid killer, not for nothing.

Now the appearance of salt battery solves this problem.

After all, 1 ton of salt battery can store 125 kWh of electric energy, and the comprehensive cost of 1 ton of salt battery is about 500-600 Wah.

New World Corporation has built three storage power plants in Huizhou, Shaoguan, and Xiangjiang. One plant is equipped with 40,000 tons of salt batteries, which can store 5 million kWh of electric energy.

And this is only the planning of the first phase, which can be expanded according to the needs in the future.

New World's batteries and electric vehicles, as well as the storage power plant under construction, have indeed caused quite a stir in China.

But with the arrival of September, the atmosphere around the world has become more and more oppressive.

The news of the Trisolarans leaked out within the five major countries, causing all kinds of commotion and speculation.

In fact, there is no way to do this, especially in the West, where the secrecy mechanism is almost useless.

After all, the various branches of the Ministry of Defense and Security of the Earth need to report the situation to their respective forces, and the Western system determines that it is difficult for them to keep secrets internally.

If the masters of the parliament know about it, it means that the capital group behind them also knows about it. In addition, now that it is an online society, news is easier to spread and leak.

And to fight against Trisolaran, the budget needed must be extremely astonishing.

It is impossible to spend several trillions every year without giving the public an explanation.

Secrecy was clearly out of the question.

Therefore, the five major powers also chose to get straight to the point, directly disclosing the attack of the ETO organization and the Trisolaran fleet.

This news immediately triggered a fierce reaction.

Some chanted the end of the world, some gave up on themselves, some were indifferent, some were worried, and some took the opportunity to make trouble.

And the remaining ETO members, while hiding in the depths of society, are making waves on the Internet at the same time.

The closed-door meetings of the five major powers are held every three days, but their differences are still huge. It is estimated that this kind of wrangling will continue for a while.

There were even large-scale riots in some areas.

At the same time, those rich people also began to think about the future. For example, escapism is rapidly growing in the hearts of some people.

The entire earth is undercurrent surging, and as time passes, there are signs of intensification.

These major disturbances have reduced the outside world's attention to New World, although many companies and official forces have noticed New World's technological development and products.

And Wang Gao also ran around the world in the past six months, and successively arranged some obvious chess pieces, as well as some hidden chess pieces that even Sophon hadn't found.

For example, Wang Gao's soul avatar has been increased to 7 people.

Some people have money and technology, and Wang Gao's series of arrangements also began to accelerate.

Finally around November.

The five major powers finally reached a preliminary agreement to cooperate to deal with the threat of the Trisolarans and eliminate the remnants of ETO within the human race.

At the same time, it also announced that mankind has entered an era of crisis.

Wang Gao at the Shaoguan scientific research base has finally completed the manufacture of a device, and he can finally avoid Sophon's surveillance.

After he received tens of billions of funds and invested in a scientific research base, this matter will naturally attract Sophon's attention to him.

Facing the pervasive Tomoko, Wang Gao didn't want to be stared at by the other party.

If there is no way to avoid Sophon's monitoring, then many things he will do next will be very troublesome.

Therefore, while he was customizing various scientific instruments, he cooperated with other clones and secretly prepared to manufacture that special equipment.
