Compared to ordinary lithium-ion batteries, solid-state batteries have a higher energy density, are thinner, and can be bent, significantly improving safety.
Before the apocalypse arrived, research teams had already developed commercial solid-state battery solutions, but they were limited by processes and materials.
The solid-state batteries before the apocalypse still had certain limitations.
However, the design blueprints awarded to Xu Zhengyang by the system were fully mature commercial solutions! Xu Zhengyang only needed to modify the battery production line according to the process requirements in the blueprints to achieve mass production!
"What a great find!"
Xu Zhengyang nodded in satisfaction and immediately opened his task list to check the latest main quest:
[Main Quest: Battery Production Workshop (In Progress)]
[In the apocalypse, usable batteries are extremely scarce. You need to build a battery production workshop to meet your growing battery demands.]
[Task Objective: Build a battery production workshop (minimum area of 2000 square meters required)]
[Task Reward: Skill Card · Overload]
Upon seeing the task objective, Xu Zhengyang's mind stirred. He immediately thought of a newly established battery manufacturer near Bai City!
That battery production factory provided battery solutions for various electric vehicles.
Because of this, their production line used the latest technology! When they first settled in Bai City, all the major media outlets were extensively promoting them.
So as soon as Xu Zhengyang saw this task, he thought of that battery manufacturer! "That factory is just a short distance from here!"
Xu Zhengyang felt a surge of joy and transformed the Hurricane Light Multi-Function Mecha into FPV drone mode, flying straight towards the battery manufacturer!
With the speed of the Hurricane Light Multi-Function Mecha, the mere thirty kilometers distance would take just over a minute!
Compared to the flying time, Xu Zhengyang spent more time on the takeoff and landing of the Hurricane Light Multi-Function Mecha.
...
"Boom—"
With a loud noise, Xu Zhengyang switched to mecha mode and landed on the outskirts of the factory area, then released fifty drones to scout the surrounding situation.
Five minutes later.
Xu Zhengyang saw more than twenty tents haphazardly set up in the open space of the production workshop and couldn't help but frown, "Hmm?
There's a group of survivors here? But fortunately, they haven't damaged the equipment too much."
The battery production workshop had a height of only six meters, so Xu Zhengyang's Hurricane Light Multi-Function Mecha couldn't enter.
He took out his multifunctional battle suit, changed into it, and walked straight inside.
The survivors in the workshop naturally heard the commotion when Xu Zhengyang landed.
So when they saw Xu Zhengyang, clad in a metallic battle suit, walk in, each of them cautiously held various makeshift weapons, watching the unexpected guest warily.
Xu Zhengyang was not one to indiscriminately kill.
So he directly addressed the survivors, "Everyone, don't be nervous.
What I need are the battery production equipment in the workshop. You can continue with your own business.
I'll leave once I've taken what I need."
The survivors exchanged glances, unsure of what to do.
After realizing that Xu Zhengyang indeed had no hostile intentions, they quickly huddled together and whispered among themselves.
Just as Xu Zhengyang locked onto the equipment and was about to use the Dimensional Space Pocket to collect it, suddenly.
A leader-like survivor mustered the courage to step forward and said to Xu Zhengyang, "We occupied this place first!
If you want the equipment, you'll have to trade it for food of equal weight!"
Xu Zhengyang almost laughed out loud upon hearing this.
While collecting various equipment into his Dimensional Space Pocket, he chuckled, "You're not my match, so it's better not to think about these things."
When the survivor leader spoke to Xu Zhengyang, he initially had some thoughts about him.
But when he saw Xu Zhengyang make a hundred-meter-long production line disappear into thin air, his expression instantly cleared.
He then turned to everyone and said, "Everyone, pack up your tents, don't delay the big brother from collecting things in the workshop!"
...
Ten minutes later.
With the help of Da Bai, Xu Zhengyang had packed all the necessary equipment for building the battery production workshop into his Dimensional Space Pocket and was preparing to leave when suddenly.
A middle-aged man in a blue work uniform called out, "Wait… wait a minute!"
Xu Zhengyang turned back curiously and asked, "What's up?"
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said, "You've taken the battery production line, but without raw materials, it won't work.
Do you want to know where there's a large stockpile of lithium metal?"
The core raw material for solid-state batteries is also lithium.
So when Xu Zhengyang heard the words of the middle-aged man in the work uniform, he immediately showed an interested expression and asked him, "What do you want in exchange for this information?"
"Weapons!"
The middle-aged man in the work uniform replied without hesitation.
Xu Zhengyang didn't say much in response; he directly took out a rifle and a handgun from his Dimensional Space Pocket.
After checking the safety on both, he walked over to the middle-aged man and handed him the two guns, along with various magazines.
Then he said to the middle-aged man, "This is what you wanted. Now it's time to tell me where I can find what I want."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
The middle-aged man said excitedly, slinging the rifle over his back and tucking the handgun into his waistband, then quickly took out his phone.
At that moment, the middle-aged man suddenly realized something awkward and said weakly, "Um…
My phone has been dead for a long time…"
Xu Zhengyang looked at him speechlessly.
However, given that Bai City had been without power for so long, it was reasonable for his phone to be dead, so Xu Zhengyang wasn't angry.
He immediately took out a large portable power bank from his Dimensional Space Pocket and said to the middle-aged man, "Hurry up and charge it!"
"Okay, okay, okay…"
The middle-aged man agreed and quickly took out the charging plug to start charging his phone.
...
Five minutes later.
The middle-aged man successfully turned on his phone and pointed to a few pictures in his album, saying to Xu Zhengyang, "I used to work at this factory.
Because lithium is very dangerous, they specifically registered a subsidiary and built a new warehouse in the suburbs.
This way, even if a fire accident occurs in the warehouse, it won't affect the company's image.
And the location of that subsidiary…
Is right here."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man opened his map app and marked a location for Xu Zhengyang.
"Shuimiao Storage?"
Xu Zhengyang grimaced upon seeing the name of the company; they seemed to be quite superstitious.
