The jeep changed hands, driving towards the city outskirts under the sunlight, drawing the curious gaze of some survivors in the buildings.
At the same time, inside the dim car.
Even though the sunshade on the windshield was of high quality transparency, the sunlight coming through still seemed unusually dim.
"This car is amazing!" The bearded man drove, enjoying the slightly cool air inside the vehicle.
Zhang Feng sat in the passenger seat, eating large chunks of a dried meat similar to chicken, while feeling the temperature inside the car.
There was air conditioning, set apparently to 18 degrees.
Yet, despite the UV-protective sunshade, the blazing sunlight rendered the temperature inside this ’big iron furnace’ hard to reduce.
Because while this sunshade blocks UV, it also has ’heat gathering’ and ’heating’ effects, driving a little faster doesn’t help.
Zhang Feng observed and then turned to the instrument in the middle.
There was a power indicator, currently at 100%.
This car runs on solar energy.
But at night without the sun, the power level would drop.
Also, to prepare for potentially bad weather in the coming days, some power needs to be reserved.
Luckily, the ’battery’ of this car is very strong.
Zhang Feng recalled it was called ’Z1’ battery.
Moreover, with such intense sunlight, it takes just three hours to fully charge.
Then, on flat terrain, it can run about five thousand kilometers.
This world has reached a high level of mastery over solar energy utilization and battery technology.
But in reality, typical solar-powered cars are limited in range due to battery and weather conditions.
Especially with the same size solar battery, the calculation involving daily watt-hour and solar cell versus sunlight intensity was totally beyond Zhang Feng.
However, if you compare this Z1 battery with a regular car energy battery, there would be at least a fivefold difference in power storage.
This Z1 battery is a completely over-standard ’new type of solar battery’, achieving five times the range of ordinary batteries, plus it uses infinite solar energy.
Of course, this doesn’t include military-grade nuclear batteries, those have more formidable power, but that’s entirely a different system.
’This technology needs to be taken back.’ Zhang Feng quickly made a decision,
’If this technology is applied to reality, it would not only solve the power problem but more importantly, the structure of this energy storage device may trigger a small technological revolution.
Especially the effective use of solar energy could lower energy costs, achieve partial energy transition, and even suspend high-voltage transmission technology temporarily. Google seaʀᴄh NoveI~Fire.net
Most importantly, the low procurement cost of energy can effectively cease, solving the carbon dioxide issue significantly.
This way, additional environmental protection and other resource savings could be utilized in more big data research.’
Zhang Feng often visited the data center, somewhat understanding the academic discussions, perceiving these superficial changes.
One could say, once this technology is rolled out, then all related surplus resources could be directed to his own big data center.
The efficiency and manpower structure of the data center would greatly improve, they might even add an associated battery energy center.
Ultimately, all technology supports the construction of the ’Extraordinary Era’.
Zhang Feng just imagined it and felt his ’martial arts foundation’ was stronger, more solid.
No longer like a shaky façade.
The enhancement of fundamental technology is forever a strong foundation of the Extraordinary Era.
As for really bringing it back, if someone asked how someone studying medicine and martial arts could be so proficient in technology and energy?
Zhang Feng felt he could say it’s simply a matter of holistic understanding.
Like Newton figured out the law of gravity upon seeing an apple fall.
Why couldn’t he feel that excessive power consumption in big data procurement and the damn carbon dioxide affecting martial arts environment led him to invent the solar super battery?
Ultimately, it’s about linking one understanding to another scientific theory.
Medicine and martial arts with solar energy, they are all potentially interconnected.
Zhang Feng pondered, feeling this very reasonable.
Thinking about it, Zhang Feng looked at the bearded man driving,
"Bearded man, you’re a high achiever, let me ask you something."
"Ask." The bearded man immediately sat up straight, "From simple math to calculus, I know a bit of everything."
"Alright." Zhang Feng asked, "Suppose I’m an ordinary person, now using an electric stove to cook soup, feeling it’s too power-consuming, then inventing a high-efficiency battery.
Do you think that’s reasonable?"
"Why not reasonable?" The bearded man wondered, "Before the apocalypse, how many inventors from ordinary folks figured out new inventions just by understanding some principles?
You have to remember, from the moment the universe began, everything inherently exists in this universe.
Science is not about inventing it but discovering it and recreating it.
So inventing isn’t as hard as you think.
If everyone hadn’t already discovered everything, I could give you a demonstration."
"This..." Zhang Feng was amazed by the bearded man’s statements on ’discovery and invention.’
Unexpectedly, this rough man had some insight?
’He couldn’t even differentiate between "two buts" a few minutes ago.’
