Tech startup: I really do make mobile phones!

Chapter 41 Product Specifications

Long-distance battery laboratory.

"However, if there's an opportunity in the future, we can release a glass-backed orange phone and embed the sublimation material into microcrystals."

Chen Mo analyzed the feasibility of the plan from a technical perspective.

"Isn't that like scattering stars inside a phone case?" Zhao Tiezhu swung his slightly damp arm and leaned closer. "Brother Chen, do you think this would be so bright in the sunlight that it could blind people?"

"They even scattered some stars to blind people, did they think they were feeding their chickens?"

Chen Mo collected some of the remaining deposits in a test tube and observed the blue color; it was indeed quite nice.

“We need to give it a nice name,” Chen Momo glanced at Zhao Tiezhu and emphasized, “and it has to be a proper name!”

Well, maybe I should do it myself.

You can refer to the naming conventions of later competitors, such as sky color, vase color, and regional color.

Blue light shattered into starlight on the glass wall.
Chen Mo thought to himself: Would calling it 'electrolyte blue' be too imprecise? And 'macromolecule indigo' doesn't seem quite right either...

Then, he looked at the simple-minded Zhao Tiezhu, who was rubbing his nose with his index finger.

"You come up with a name, I'll give it my opinion!"

Zhao Tiezhu grinned: "Let's call it Starry Sky Blue! It's the same little trinket I bought for Tian'er at the night market the other month. Those old ladies and young girls in the city will definitely love it!"

These days, business people all know that it's easier to make money off older women and young girls.

Chen Mo circled the words "Starry Sky Blue" in his notebook and wrote next to it: "We need to solve the stability of the microcrystals and apply for a patent for the appearance and color scheme."

Afterwards, Chen Mo recorded the data from the puncture test, which was placed last in the safety test. Currently, 10 prototype batteries have been scrapped.

Yes! The puncture test should definitely be done last!
Otherwise, all five batteries would be ruined if punctured, making it impossible to conduct other safety tests.

With all security test data recorded, Chen Mo finally obtained all the test data for the self-test.

After Zhao Tiezhu finished cleaning the laboratory, Chen Mo waved his hand, telling him to go and rest!

Luckily, this kid had become acquainted with Old Liu, the security guard from afar, and got a folding bed and a foam mat for PE class from him. With a small pillow and a small blanket, he didn't feel as uncomfortable sleeping as before.

For some reason, even after Zhao Tiezhu urged Chen Mo to go to sleep several times, Chen Mo remained hunched over the lab bench writing data.

He eventually lay on the mattress of the folding bed, looking utterly dejected, clutching a small pillow.

Why sleep so much while alive? You'll have plenty of time to sleep after you die.

If Zhao Tiezhu were to borrow Lao Liu's electric scooter and rush over now, he could at least spend an hour or two playing with Widow Tian!
In the laboratory, even though Zhao Tiezhu was unwilling, he slowly fell asleep.

Chen Mo glanced at him, then quietly turned off the front light, leaving only a single lamp on her side of the lab bench.

As the first rays of sunlight climbed onto the lab bench in the early morning, Chen Mo was still under that solitary lamp, writing a test report on gaseous lithium batteries on his secondhand laptop.

When Chen Mo reached the last page of the "Gas-State Lithium-ion Battery Product Specifications", he thought for a moment and added a small line of text.

[Note: This dataset contains unpublished feature parameters and is considered sensitive internal data. Unauthorized distribution is strictly prohibited.]

While there was still some time, Chen Mo began to examine the "Gasular Lithium-ion Battery Product Specification Sheet" again.

After checking the report to ensure there were no errors or omissions, Chen Mo then checked the data stored on the lab's computer to make sure that none of the data he had left behind was valid.

In reality, it would be difficult for the other party to replicate the process, as there was no data screening standard, because Chen Mo had simulated the effective data on his own second-hand laptop.

就好比你有12、65、46、46、4、6、19总共137个数据。

There are 37 erroneous data points that need to be excluded, but I won't tell you which 37 data points need to be excluded.

Suppose you painstakingly eliminated 37 incorrect data points, and now you have 100 correct data points remaining. You need to arrange them in order, and you also need to use the four combination methods of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

How do you calculate the number 253 from these last 100 data points?
Before the advent of a true quantum computer with more than 1000 bits, Chen Mo did not believe that anyone could use reverse engineering to hard-break and create a synthetic environment control model for gaseous electrolytes.

In other words, now that I have a quantum computer with over 1000 bits of power, wouldn't it be better for me to develop other new batteries?
Even if we reverse engineer the environmental control model, what about the packaging process? And what about the formulation of the boron-based polymer catalyst?

Currently, in terms of the manufacturing process of gaseous lithium batteries, there are only two process nodes to prevent leaks: one is the synthesis environment control model, and the other is the packaging process.

For preventing leaks of materials, the solution is naturally the formulation of boron-based catalysts.

Regarding the patent, Chen Mo only applied for a boron-based catalyst. This substance has a patent for gaseous battery catalysts, but the formula has not been disclosed.

It's like a hodgepodge; you can see some of the ingredients, but not all of them, and you don't know how they were processed in the middle.

In this way, the system's built-in anti-leakage nodes include two: the encapsulation process and the catalyst formula. Chen Mo's gaseous electrolyte synthesis control model, which he developed himself, is the third.

The packaging process of gaseous lithium batteries differs from the coating method of liquid lithium batteries (which involves uniformly coating liquid electrode slurry onto the surface of the current collector and drying it to form a solid electrode layer).

It involves simultaneously encapsulating gaseous electrolytes and electrode materials in a supercritical state into a specially designed aluminum alloy shell under vacuum conditions through a micron-scale micropore array.

To put it more vividly, if we compare the mainstream liquid batteries on the market today to a "bottle".

For fast charging of this liquid battery, an external charge pump is needed to pressurize it.

The inside of a gaseous battery is more like a small bottle containing many nanoscale vacuums, which carries negative pressure even when it is not charged.

This is why it can use a regular charger and still achieve ultra-fast charging.

Chen Mo patiently checked to ensure that no valid data or process parameters were left on the computer in the remote battery lab.

Chen Mo put the 10 batteries that failed the test into the waste bin and took them away.

As for the remaining 10 "premium" prototypes, they were naturally packaged in a small battery box.

These 10 pieces are to be sent for testing. As for the original piece of excrement with carved patterns, Chen Mo will keep it as a memento.

Oh, right! Chen Mo had forgotten about Lao Wang all this time; there was still a bet waiting for him to collect!
Gaseous lithium batteries are absolutely a revolutionary product. Chen Mo didn't believe that the experts Lao Wang had found could distort the facts.

You disagree? Go find an 800mAh phone battery that charges in 30 seconds and fake it!
It's safe to say that in the future, whenever anyone mentions a battery that can be fully charged in 30 seconds, they will inevitably be talking about gaseous lithium batteries.

Your phone only takes 30 seconds to fully charge, so it must use a gaseous lithium battery, right?
Which one?
Of course it's oranges!
Chen Mo could already picture the proud look on the user's face when they mentioned oranges.
