Technological supremacy starts with acquiring alien spaceships

Guided by the factory receptionist, Chen Yu, with Xiao Jiazi in tow, met the factory's person in charge.

In an office, the middle-aged man in the executive chair said with a smile:

"Hello, I am Zhou Zhihua, the general manager of the factory. May I ask your name, sir? The receptionist mentioned you're here to order deuterium gas?"

Zhou Zhihua looked at Xiao Jiazi standing behind Chen Yu. Today, Xiao Jiazi was wearing a white, form-fitting shirt.

Below, she sported a super-short pencil skirt, paired with black stockings and a pair of black, red-bottomed stilettos, perfectly showcasing her figure.

Her face was adorned with a pair of secretary glasses, making her the epitome of a beautiful OL (Office Lady) in uniform!

Seeing Chen Yu with such a beautiful secretary, Zhou Zhihua immediately looked at him with different eyes!

"Uh, hello, my name is Chen Yu, and I am indeed looking to order a batch of deuterium gas from your company."

"Oh~! May I ask which company Mr. Chen represents, and how much deuterium gas are you looking to order?"

Company? Representative? Chen Yu was speechless.

He had previously asked Manager Zheng from the Guojin Center to help with the registration, but the company hadn't been registered yet.

"Uh, General Manager Zhou, my company hasn't been registered yet. Can I order it under my personal name?"

"Of course, but our company has regulations. Deuterium gas is also a flammable substance. Individual purchases cannot exceed 1000 cubic meters, and the price is 5500 yuan per cubic meter."

Chen Yu sighed; this deuterium gas was indeed damn expensive!

One cubic meter cost several thousand yuan, and manufacturing a heavy hydrogen ion battery required at least about 10 cubic meters.

In other words, the most basic raw material cost for one battery was as high as over 50,000 yuan.

Adding the cost of the outer shell material and internal electrode materials, etc.

Chen Yu estimated that the cost of a standard heavy hydrogen ion battery would be about 70,000 yuan.

This was basically the same as the current price of new energy batteries, but the energy efficiency was simply incomparable to ordinary ternary lithium batteries on Earth.

This business was definitely profitable!

"General Manager Zhou, I would like to ask how much deuterium gas your annual output is?"

Zhou Zhihua looked surprised.

"Mr. Chen, why are you asking this? You don't need to doubt our output."

"Okay, since General Manager Zhou is so confident, then I can sign an exclusive contract with your factory. I want all the deuterium gas you produce!"

Zhou Zhihua squinted and pursed his lips, seemingly trying to determine if Chen Yu was joking.

"Mr. Chen, your tone is a bit too ambitious, don't you think? Do you know how many cubic meters of deuterium gas we can produce in a year?"

"That's what I was just asking you?"

"Alright, I'll tell you. Our total annual output reaches 20 million cubic meters, and our annual turnover exceeds 60 billion. Do you have the strength to swallow that?"

Chen Yu frowned. Only 20 million cubic meters, meaning he could only make 2 million heavy hydrogen ion batteries.

Currently, the annual production of new energy vehicles in the country is 11 million, and it is still rising. The deuterium gas from one factory is obviously not enough!

Seeing Chen Yu frown and ponder, Zhou Zhihua's face showed smugness. He must have scared the other party with his factory's production capacity.

"So, Mr. Chen, can you handle our factory's production capacity?"

Zhou Zhihua's tone was somewhat teasing.

Chen Yu frowned and said:

"General Manager Zhou, your factory can only produce 20 million cubic meters a year? That's a bit too little!"

Zhou Zhihua chuckled. He scratched his ear, seemingly trying to judge whether Chen Yu was joking.

"Mr. Chen, you... what did you say? You must be joking. Do you know how much 20 million cubic meters is? We are already one of the top ten deuterium gas manufacturers in the world."

Chen Yu calmly explained:

"General Manager Zhou, to be honest, I will need about 200 million cubic meters of deuterium gas every year from now on."

Zhou Zhihua chuckled again!

He was now very sure that Chen Yu was bragging and was just here to be funny.

"Mr. Chen, there should be a limit to your jokes. Two hundred million cubic meters of deuterium gas? Our country's annual output is only 500 million cubic meters, and you want 200 million cubic meters. You may need to sign supply contracts with half of the deuterium gas factories in the world to meet your needs."

"Then does General Manager Zhou have any connections in this area to help me contact some deuterium gas factories? I can sign exclusive supply contracts with them."

"Mr. Chen, I would like to ask a presumptuous question. What do you want to do with so much deuterium gas?"

Chen Yu didn't need to hide it. Only he possessed this technology.

"I use it to manufacture heavy hydrogen ion batteries, which will be used in new energy vehicles in the future."

Zhou Zhihua was the general manager of Jiangcheng Rare Gas Factory and also a chemistry PhD graduate from a prestigious university.

As soon as he heard Chen Yu mention heavy hydrogen ion batteries, he immediately knew what the other party was talking about.

This type of battery was only a theory. Currently, Earth's technology was difficult to confine heavy hydrogen ions in a closed space and allow them to move repeatedly.

If Chen Yu had mastered this technology, then undoubtedly, as soon as his product was launched, it would immediately occupy the entire market.

Because the discharge efficiency generated by the movement of heavy hydrogen ions was several times that of ordinary ternary lithium batteries.

This meant that a heavy hydrogen ion battery of the same size would provide several times the range for vehicles.

Think about the current new energy vehicles, which generally have a range of 300-600 kilometers. Once this battery was launched.

A car's range would reach 2000-5000 kilometers, which was even more impressive than gasoline cars!

This was simply disruptive technology!

Zhou Zhihua's speech was a little stuttering.

"Mr... Mr. Chen, are you saying that you have already mastered the technology of heavy hydrogen ion batteries?"
