"Cars!"
"Especially new energy vehicles, which are being promoted now. Many people don't buy new energy vehicles because they dislike their lack of power, slow acceleration, and the fact that they aren't as exciting to drive as gasoline cars!"
"That's right," Feng Weiguo nodded emphatically. "To be honest, the country has already assigned many project teams to research how to adapt your newly invented electric motor for use in cars worldwide."
"Most of the major challenges have been resolved. The only problem is that we cannot equip car engines with controlled nuclear fusion devices, and ordinary batteries cannot support the energy consumption of the new electric engines."
Suddenly, Feng Weiguo slapped his forehead forcefully. "I almost forgot! Jing Mingqiu, this new electric motor was invented by you! Do you have any way to reduce the engine's energy consumption, or to research a high-performance battery?"
Jing Mingqiu found this request very difficult.
The original design purpose of this motor was to consume a large amount of electricity, thereby forcing the country to build nuclear power plants on a large scale, to complete the system's mission.
To change it now would be equivalent to overthrowing the underlying logic and completely redesigning a new engine from scratch.
Moreover, apart from its high energy consumption, this motor was top-notch in all other aspects. Changing the design direction would prevent it from reaching its current level.
If the engine couldn't be improved, then a new type of battery would have to be developed. Jing Mingqiu flipped through the battery modification plans stored in the system. There were many plans for creating new lead-acid batteries using special structures and special alloys.
However, these plans could at most increase performance by three times, and they could easily be replicated by others, falling far short of the level that would decisively change the world.
If you're going to do it, do it all the way. Jing Mingqiu's eyes were fixed on the cry new battery that could only be unlocked at the next system level.
Since those Western powers were afraid of China dominating the new energy sector and were willing to resort to murder and arson, then don't blame me for not playing by the rules of the martial world and using epoch-making products to cripple them.
"Principal," Jing Mingqiu slowly raised his head, staring intently at Feng Weiguo. "It's rather troublesome to modify the engine. I have a new type of battery here that can not only meet all the needs of new energy vehicles but is also fireproof and explosion-proof, and other countries will never be able to replicate it!"
"But you need to do one thing for me first before I can tell you how to make it?"
Feng Weiguo didn't rush to agree, but instead asked, "Mingqiu, what do you need us to do? Can you tell us first?"
Jing Mingqiu cut to the chase and stated his requirement: "Okay, first, I need ten large-scale controlled nuclear fusion power plants. For convenience of future use, I hope they can be built together."
"After ten large nuclear power plants are built, I will immediately tell you how to make the new cry battery!"
Upon hearing this request, Feng Weiguo stood frozen, stunned for a long time before letting out a dry laugh. "Ten large nuclear power plants? I can't make that decision. I need to report to my superiors..."
"Principal, you don't need to be so nervous," Jing Mingqiu reached down his pants and took out a USB drive he had just redeemed from the system, handing it over.
"Such a big matter, let alone you being just a principal, even the supreme leader couldn't make the decision alone. Take this, it will suffice for now, though it's not much, it should be enough."
Feng Weiguo took the USB drive, a look of confusion on his face. "Mingqiu, what is this?"
Jing Mingqiu recited verbatim according to the system's introduction: "Inside are modification plans for two types of batteries. One starts with materials, requiring the refinement of a new alloy that can increase storage capacity by two times."
"The other starts with structure, which can also increase storage capacity by two times. Combined, they should be able to increase the storage capacity of current cars by three times..."
Mo Ruixue was woken up by their voices, her eyes still hazy. "Huh? A Qiu, did you miscalculate? Two times multiplied by two times should be four times, right?"
"Little silly," Jing Mingqiu raised his hand and gently flicked Mo Ruixue's nose. "Battery storage capacity can't be calculated like that."
Then, Jing Mingqiu turned to Feng Weiguo. "Principal, take this back first. A three-fold increase in storage capacity is enough to support the down-throttled electric motor."
"But I must remind you, to completely surpass the West, you must use the new cry battery."
Feng Weiguo carefully tucked the USB drive into his chest and left with a mind full of thoughts.
Jing Mingqiu watched the system task stuck at midnight. Before he could fall into deep thought, he was pounced upon by Mo Ruixue.
"Alright, A Qiu, don't overthink it. When the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. You've worked hard enough. Go to sleep, quickly. If you don't sleep, you'll get dark circles..."
It wasn't the first time Jing Mingqiu had seen researchers assassinated by foreign forces, but this time, having personally witnessed the scorched corpses, he was more deeply affected.
Now that the full story was clear and he had done all he could, Jing Mingqiu stopped dwelling on it. Holding Mo Ruixue, he soon fell asleep...
While Jing Mingqiu slept soundly in the embrace of his beloved, Feng Weiguo dared not delay and immediately made a satellite call to the supreme leader.
The call was connected instantly, and the supreme leader began with, "Feng Weiguo, what's the progress on the investigation of the explosion? Is Jing Mingqiu alright?"
It was clear that the supreme leader had been waiting for the peculiar explosion at Dongyang City University of Science and Technology today without rest.
"The results are basically out. As previously suspected, this was not an accident but intentional sabotage. Jing Mingqiu only sustained minor injuries and has been treated. He is perfectly safe..."
Feng Weiguo, speaking at his fastest pace, recounted everything that had happened that day, his speculations, and the entire conversation he had with Jing Mingqiu.
"Boss, the USB drive is with me now. I'm afraid something might go wrong, so please send someone to retrieve it quickly."
"Don't rush! I'll arrange for someone immediately. Xiao Zhao, you leave now, bring the guards, and at all costs, ensure that USB drive is brought back intact."
After Assistant Zhao acknowledged and left, the supreme leader turned to instruct another assistant, Xiao Zheng. "Xiao Zheng, immediately contact experts in the field of batteries, invite them secretly, and simultaneously arrange for personnel to strictly protect the experts in mecha technology."
"Boss," Feng Weiguo's heart tightened upon hearing the supreme leader's instructions to his assistants. "I just came from Jing Mingqiu. If you immediately arrange for all battery experts to gather, won't that expose his identity?"
The supreme leader laughed heartily. "Haha, Old Feng, you're being rather muddled at this moment. What does gathering battery experts have to do with our little genius?"
