Great Power Technology

After the special program ended, everyone in the room was silent for a long time. When the two children got into trouble because they couldn't stand their quiet nature, the discussion started.

"The show is doing very well. I estimate it will soon create a sensation. So this time our battery is on hold."

"Although I didn't give much specific introduction, after traveling more than 10,000 kilometers and nearly 20,000 kilometers, I only charged the battery a total of 5 times, and the total charging time did not exceed 3 hours. It is really a great success. ”

After listening to Ye Zhou's words, Chen Hao nodded.

"Yes, now it depends on the overall public opinion response. After this test, the performance of the battery is basically confirmed, and our follow-up plans will begin."

"Well, now I'm curious about the reaction from the Ugly Country and the Island Country. They should be able to feel the sense of crisis, right? Is something big going to happen?"

"No way."

Chen Hao replied firmly.

"Prior to this, we have made sufficient preparations for this release. The furry bears, including Mao Xiong, will also voice their support for us internationally. I think it is impossible for them to make any big moves at this time."

"What if they suddenly go crazy?"

"This is not a matter of going crazy or not. There is no such thing as going crazy in the country's decision-making, because every decision is not made by an independent individual."

"Looking at the current situation, no matter from any perspective, the best choice they can make is to accept reality."

"This is a game, and it is also a condition we set for them to accept."

"Either accept the reality and bear small losses; or, everyone is completely finished. As long as their leaders are still rational people, it is impossible to make other choices."

Hearing this, Ye Zhou finally felt relieved.

Ever since Chen Hao informed him of the major deployments around sulfur-silicon batteries, his heart had never let go. Even after witnessing an elephant walking in the sky, he was always worried about another possibility. sex.

But fortunately, judging from the confident reaction of the officials represented by Chen Hao, the possibility he was worried about will not happen.

Thinking of this, he said:

"Since you have eliminated all possibilities for the other party to flip the table, then let's finish this game of chess properly."

On the other side of the sea, the Office of Strategic Analysis.

Johnson had read all the reports, and at this moment, his face was livid.

This is the third time. Just like the previous two times, they once again misjudged their opponent's true intentions!

The first time, we thought that the most our opponent could make was a 7nm or even 9nm lithography machine, but the opponent directly took out a 3nm lithography machine and slapped us in the face; the second time, we thought that our opponent was making a turbofan - 18 improvement project, the result was a giant commercial aviation engine with a thrust of 110 tons. Not only did it seize the initiative in the international aviation engine market, it even openly started to fight for the airworthiness license.

Not to mention the series of achievements that emerged after aviation technology was fed back to the military industry.

The H-20, the reissued J-20 and J-16, and I don’t know what other projects they still have hidden in their hands.

The original balance in which the opponents were at a disadvantage was completely broken, and they had even vaguely taken the initiative.

But this time, the other party's appetite became bigger and bigger, and it actually pointed directly at the energy market!

Although the energy density of a 400WH/KG battery and a 1000WH/KG battery seems to be only more than doubled, they are actually two completely different things!

The former only slightly accelerates the popularization of new energy, while the latter will directly destroy the entire old energy order!

This is something they cannot accept.

However, if you don't accept it, what can you do?

Johnson frowned, and after a moment, he said:

"Let's report the latest situation."

The analyst on the side looked equally defeated. After hesitating for a few seconds, he opened the PAD in his hand and started to cast the screen.

"Mr. Johnson, the situation we are facing now is this."

"First of all, our strategy of hedging oil prices through the price of raw lithium has completely failed. The other party's new battery does not use sulfur lithium technology at all, but sulfur silicon technology."

"This technology is more complex and advanced than lithium sulfur technology, and is even so advanced that even our current technical level cannot solve the pretreatment silicide involved."

"So, it is precisely for this reason that we have not thought about this at all before, and we have not made any preparations."

"Now, the Greenbushese company in Aozhou has begun to protest to us, because after the release of China's sulfur-silicon batteries, the demand for raw material lithium in the international market fell accordingly, and they instead raised their prices at this point in time. The loss is huge and we hope we will compensate.”

Hearing this, Johnson had a sneer on his face.

compensation?

hehe.

You go to China to ask for compensation.

"You go on."

The analyst coughed, glanced at Johnson's face, and then continued:

"International oil prices are currently plummeting. According to our estimates, it is very likely that in a very short period of time in the future, the price of the latest oil futures will fall below a positive figure, just like what we encountered last time."

"Because of this situation, the stocks of several domestic shale oil companies have also plummeted. This plummeting has been transmitted to other areas. Our Nasdaq has fallen deeply for several days in a row, and this trend is still expanding."

"The senior executives of several giant companies have united and are preparing to put pressure on us. Mr. Johnson, this pressure is likely to fall on us."

Johnson was stunned for a moment. He remembered the ending of his previous office owner, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in his heart. But then he thought about it, he was a former Marine who had truly sacrificed his life for the country, and no one would do this. Such crazy stuff.

Of course, if one day comes, you can only rely on yourself.

It’s time to clean up the guns at home.

Seeing that Johnson did not interrupt, the analyst continued.

"The most serious situations at present are not limited to these two. In the oil field, our initiative has been almost completely eroded."

"The other party has already negotiated an agreement with Iran in advance. They first made money by selling futures orders, and then purchased a large amount of crude oil in the spot market. Now, they are the largest oil dealer in the entire Central Asia region."

"The market that was originally controlled by us has now fallen into their hands."

"In addition, the African side is not optimistic that Sudan has passed the first round of voting. Basically, they have determined that they will obtain the operation and development rights of the Sudan oil field."

"Once this oil field really falls into their hands, it means that they can control more than 40% of the world's oil sources, and our currency-oil system will soon collapse. By then, the domestic economic situation will probably go wrong. Big problem."

"The most terrifying thing is that they have even negotiated a cooperative operation right for a military port in Sudan. They will jointly operate this military port with Mao Xiong to ensure the safety of the oil route from Sudan to China."

Hearing this, Johnson's expression changed from anger to helplessness.

This is truly a ten-step calculation.

The other party had made almost all plans before releasing the battery. Their initial goal was not the battery at all, but to completely subvert the old energy system.

How terrible is an opponent that would lay so many outrageous foreshadowings in a project that no one takes seriously?

Is this what they call the wisdom accumulated over thousands of years?

How can I, a country with only three hundred years of history, compete with them?

After a moment of silence, with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse, Johnson asked:

"What about silicon raw materials? Do we have the dominance of silicon raw materials in our hands? If possible, this is our last resort to break the situation. Through restrictions on the import of silicon raw materials, we can slow down their actions to a certain extent."

"Mr. Johnson, a month ago, they already controlled 8 of the world's top ten silicon raw material manufacturers, and then, within this month, they forcibly acquired the other two."

All roads are blocked.

Johnson took out a cigarette, but didn't light it after being stunned for a long time.

He couldn't think of any other way to break the situation, because everything he could think of, the other party had already thought of it for him in advance, and even arranged the backup plan.

Is the only way to go is to overturn the card table?

If we really want to do this, will Congress agree?

He subconsciously looked at the analyst with searching eyes, and the latter understood what he meant almost instantly.

"Mr. Johnson, although I know you have always been a radical, I really don't recommend doing this. This is a game and we have already lost. If we continue to increase the bet, we will only lose worse. "

Johnson was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses.

yes.

It is no longer ten or twenty years ago.

Under the current comparison of national strength, if one wants to lift the table, one must also consider whether the weight of the table can be lifted.

Twenty years ago, there were only some nuclear weapons on that table; ten years ago, there were large destroyers, aircraft carriers, and fifth-generation aircraft; and now, there are strategic bombers, nuclear submarines, and even nuclear weapons on that table. Including furry bears.

Yes, the furry bear was also used as a bargaining chip by them on the card table.

Poor furry bear.

——

No, it should be the lucky furry bear.

They are lucky to be able to stand with a nation that is rising strongly at this time.

After thinking for a long time, Johnson finally raised his head.

He found the only solution in this situation.

However, it is not so easy to come up with this solution.

He opened his mouth several times, but all the words he wanted to say were blocked in his mouth. Finally, the analyst saw his intention.

The other party pursed his lips, and then said:

"Mr. Johnson, maybe we can resolve this through negotiation."

"If our attitude is good enough, I think they won't mind handing over some of their benefits, right?"

Johnson nodded silently.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity in his heart.

When did the situation completely change?

Since when did the people who humbly pray for benefits at the negotiation table become themselves? ?
