Chapter 229 Giant Smith and the final puzzle

"The most important parts of our prototype are three parts."

"They are batteries, electronic control management, and motors."

".The battery pack board is composed of 10 battery packs connected in series. Each battery pack is composed of 444 lithium batteries, and each 74 cells are connected in parallel."

"In other words, this car uses 4440 18650 batteries, and the battery brand is Sony's latest 18650 battery."

"The 10 battery packs in the battery board are evenly laid out on the casing. The overall structure is compact, and the flat lay is conducive to heat dissipation; each battery pack is composed of six single battery packs connected in series."

"The total storage capacity is approximately 46.8 kilowatts."

"The motor currently used is Mitsubishi Electric's SANL-09."

"Because it is a prototype, these are directly purchased external products."

"Currently, the only product in the entire electric vehicle that has our own technology is the electronic control system."

In the scientific research shed, Professor Hans talked eloquently to Abel in front of dozens of people.

"The battery pack of this car is composed of thousands of 18650 batteries connected in series and parallel to form a whole battery panel."

"In addition to simple integration work, we also need to consider the heat dissipation performance inside the battery to avoid failure caused by excessive internal temperature of the battery panel. We also need to consider the degradation of battery performance caused by low temperatures in winter."

"We spent two months to first develop a set of electronic control management. At present, this set of electronic control management is perfect and can effectively avoid the above problems."

Abel listened to Professor Hans for almost ten minutes. He couldn't help but raise his hand to interrupt Professor Hans's long speech.

Abel asked:

"In other words, except for the electronic control technology, everything else is ready-made?"

Professor Hans nodded generously and admitted:

"Yes. Because you are too anxious. You want to see the prototype immediately. This is the only way at the moment."

"Real scientific research, especially this kind of research that is at the forefront of the times, cannot be accomplished overnight."

"Battery technology takes years to develop. Subsequent production also takes time."

"The motor is simple, but there are already good products on the market, and we can also purchase them directly."

"The only thing that can see immediate results is battery management technology."

Abel listened to his explanation and nodded slightly.

Abel himself also remembered Tesla in parallel time and space.

Its first product is that except for the electronic control technology, which is its own, the rest are assembled products purchased from outside.

That Tesla did this, but the Tesla here demanded to see results as soon as possible.

Do the same.

That means this approach should be the lowest option in terms of time and cost.

But Abel knew very well that his Tesla would not follow the path taken by Tesla in parallel time and space.

Musk's Tesla has indeed been successful.

Both he and Tesla's shareholders have made a lot of money from Tesla.

But if it was just to make money, there was no need for Abel to bother with such an immature technology.

Abel has more places and better ways to make money faster.

The reason why Abel chose the electric vehicle track.

It's because this track, if it can form a complete industrial chain.

It will never be smaller than the traditional gasoline automobile industry.

The automobile industry is basically the industry with the strongest carrying capacity and ability to create employment among modern industries.

Just look at German cars and Japanese cars, which have directly produced two of the world's top five economic powers.

Take Neon Man for example.

Neon's automobile manufacturing industry directly and indirectly employs 5.4 million industrial workers.

Behind 5.4 million people are more than 5 million families.

The irradiated population exceeds 10 million people.

What's more important is that the income of workers in this industrial chain is in the upper-middle level among ordinary people.

These people and their families belong to the backbone of Neon society.

Let’s talk about Germany. Germany has about 35 million employed people.

Among these 35 million people, German automobile industry workers (including indirect employment) account for about 5.3 million.

Similar to neon people, automobiles are the main lifeline industry of these two countries.

It can be seen from this that the automobile industry is definitely a modern industry and the backbone of social employment.

Finally, let’s talk about the United States. The American automobile industry has been in decline for decades.

That shocking "embroidered ribbon" is the trace of the decline of the American automobile industry.

Abel has the latest data on the U.S. auto industry.

Last year, in 2000, the U.S. automobile industry chain accounted for only about 7% of the U.S. GDP, and there were only about a million people left in the entire industry.

Compared with neon and Germany, it can be said that it is already very weak.

Abel chose electric vehicles as one of the troika in his industry.

It's because he wants to build the electric vehicle industry in advance.

And directly put the industrial chain in the United States.

Not to mention that it will be like Neon and Germany, with more than five million people directly and indirectly employed.

As long as it can affect the employment of more than one million people.

Even if this company does not make money, as the core of the industrial chain, it will definitely become one of the most important companies in this country.

Think about it, its closure and existence can affect the employment of millions of people.

Behind these millions of people are millions of American families!

Tesla in parallel time and space couldn't do it.

Because of Tesla, except for electronic control technology, in other aspects, it is an assembly plant that relies on marketing.

All are borrowed doctrines, using various mature technologies directly.

Doing so will certainly reduce R&D time and production costs, and the product will also be very competitive.

But it has no way to form an industrial chain dominated by it.

Without forming an industrial chain, it is just an assembly factory making money.

Then Musk will naturally not become a big shot.

Because the closure of an assembly plant will not have much impact on the United States.

Without the Tesla assembly plant, Wall Street capitalists can still create another "Edison car" in a very short period of time.

In fact, Apple was similar later.

It has a complete industrial chain, which is also very large and has many industrial workers.

However, due to costs and the decline of the U.S. manufacturing industry, Apple's industrial chain is spread all over the world, and the United States has not benefited much.

Apple only has one R&D center left in the United States.

Although Apple is huge, its domestic influence in the United States is not even comparable to those of much smaller energy giants and retail giants.

Because Apple's industrial chain has no way of affecting people's livelihood in the United States.

This is why Abel asked his Tesla to develop its own battery technology from the beginning.

Abel wanted to take advantage of the period when workers in the American industrial chain have not yet shrunk seriously.

Create your own complete industrial chain.

For example, if we have our own technology for batteries, we can accommodate at least hundreds of thousands of industrial workers from battery production to application.

This does not include the car shell, tires, and other auxiliary items.

If it can be built successfully.

By then, the more the U.S. industry shrinks, the more its industrial chain will collapse.

The industrial chain created by Abel will become increasingly important.

At that time, his status in this country will become more and more stable.

If combined with energy, the foundation of all modernization.

And it is really relevant to every ordinary American if they find a way to enter the industry, retail industry, and agriculture.
