Chapter 523: Chapter 522 Escape

These things can’t be powered by electricity right now; they all rely on oil to operate.

Right now, even things like cars are not very mature, let alone other types of vehicles.

Only small things like electric scooters are somewhat mature, but they can’t solve the oil problem. Humans today are still dependent on oil; without it, human society simply can’t function. Currently, the Yan Clan needs to import hundreds of millions of tons of oil every year, which is a scary figure just to hear.

This doesn’t even count the Yan Clan’s own domestic oil fields, which produce a significant amount of oil.

The Yan Clan alone consumes countless barrels of oil every year, not to mention others.

To completely eliminate the human dependency on oil, we must approach it from many angles.

First, Jiang Cheng wants to solve the car problem, as it is the most commonly used means of transportation by ordinary people.

Currently, there are many issues with electric cars on the market, which is why they haven’t been widely accepted.

The first issue is the range of electric cars; even when fully charged, they can’t travel very far.

Compared to traditional cars filled with petrol, electric cars are like something with short legs.

How can something that doesn’t travel far be accepted? Naturally, it can’t be popularized.

Another issue is the long charging time of electric cars, which is also a very tricky problem.

Filling up a regular car with petrol takes only a few minutes, allowing it to continue running.

But charging an electric car takes several hours, making it very inconvenient to use.

These two problems are currently the major issues troubling electric cars. If solutions aren’t found, electric cars cannot completely replace gasoline cars.

In Jiang Cheng’s view, these two problems are essentially one—just solve the battery issue.

The range of electric cars is insufficient simply because the current batteries can’t store much energy.

If we can increase the battery’s energy storage capacity, this problem will be completely resolved.

With a greater energy storage capacity, electric cars can naturally travel further distances.

The long charging time is also a battery technology issue. As long as we have batteries that can charge quickly, this problem can be solved.

If someone invents a new type of battery, one that has a large storage capacity and can be charged quickly, then all problems will be solved.

Jiang Cheng is currently working on such a new type of battery, one that uses entirely new technology and is fundamentally different from previous batteries.

The experiment is now in its final stages, and Jiang Cheng is conducting the final testing work.

Lucy, help me record the discharge data of the battery and all the indicators during charging.

In front of Jiang Cheng is a rectangular box, this box is the new type of battery developed by Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng is conducting some tests on the battery, with sparks continually flying from it.

This battery is named ”K38 battery” by Jiang Cheng, using many new materials, and its storage technology is also novel.

Compared to previous batteries, this K38 battery is very advanced. First, it can store more than ten times the energy of an ordinary battery, and the charging speed is countless times faster.

According to Jiang Cheng’s recent test results, this battery can be fully charged in just ten minutes.

The appearance of the K38 battery can be said to have completely changed the future of electric cars, making them superior to traditional vehicles.

An electric car equipped with a K38 battery can travel thousands of kilometers on a single charge, even farther than a car filled with gasoline.

Moreover, it can be fully charged in five minutes, which is not much slower than refueling.

Once the K38 battery is installed in an electric car, the myth of charging for five minutes and driving for thousands of kilometers can be realized.

It’s believed that once such electric vehicles appear, traditional cars will inevitably be phased out, and Jiang Cheng can also achieve his goal. Soon, Jiang Cheng completed all the tests, and the test results were very perfect; this battery can now be mass-produced. However, before mass-producing this new type of battery, Jiang Cheng wants to acquire an automobile manufacturing company.

Although the K38 battery is the most important component for electric cars, having only the battery is not enough.

Jiang Cheng also needs an automobile manufacturing company to produce this new type of electric car for him.

This time, Jiang Cheng is not intending to sell the battery directly but to produce electric cars himself.

The profits in the automotive industry are formidable, and Jiang Cheng won’t let these profits slip away easily.

Moreover, Jiang Cheng is not very satisfied with traditional car companies, so he decided to acquire one to produce cars himself.

This time, Jiang Cheng intends to use numerous new technologies in the car, making this new electric car an epoch-making vehicle.

Jiang Cheng already has the K38 battery, the core of electric cars, and the other things are easily solved.

Other related technologies for electric cars, such as electric motor technology, are readily available to Jiang Cheng.

With Cosmic Umbrella Company’s existing capabilities, acquiring an automobile manufacturing company is not too difficult.

Jiang Cheng plans to use the new electric car to open up the market for electric transportation tools decisively.

The electric car is just the first product Jiang Cheng plans to launch; many more products will be launched one after another.

As long as there is the K38 battery in hand, powering all modes of transportation with electricity is not impossible.

Once the new electric car is fully promoted, Jiang Cheng also plans to introduce other electric transportation tools.

Electric ships, electric trains, and even electric airplanes will appear in people’s vision.

By then, the Yan Clan will be able to completely rid itself of oil constraints and replace oil solely with electricity.

Along with the development of cheap power stations, the Yan Clan will soar again.

By then, the Yan Clan society can abolish other energy sources and rely solely on electricity for energy supply.

A single energy supply will greatly facilitate industrial production, reducing other unnecessary expenses.

Moreover, vigorously developing an electrified society is closely related to the next industrial revolution.

There have already been many industrial revolutions, and the next industrial revolution is coming soon.

The first industrial revolution was the mechanized industrial revolution. After the earliest invention of the spinning jenny, humanity officially entered the industrial age.

This industrial revolution marked the beginning of humans using energy, as the steam engine officially entered human life.

The advent of the steam engine unsealed a vast amount of labor, making large-scale industrialization possible.

This industrial revolution made Ying Country the first industrialized entity and turned Ying Country into a world dominator.

With the development of the first industrial revolution, the Sun Never Sets Little Brother Country was born.
