Chapter 277 Miracle

  Sitting in the meeting room, Straubel reported the cause of the explosion and fire.

  "It's still a technical problem of battery pack management!"

  Straubel said with a sullen face: "To solve this problem thoroughly, we have to find a way to arrange the batteries.

  A method that can prevent flames from spreading from one battery to another. "

  Tapening frowned, battery technology is the core technology in the core technology, and it is also the biggest difficulty.

  They started R&D in 2003, and it seems that it will be in 2005. Although they have made some achievements, judging from what happened today, this achievement is obviously not good enough, or not excellent enough.

  Eberhard rubbed his hair and said with a look of chagrin: "There are 6831 batteries in total. Do you know how many permutations and combinations are there? There are so many.

  Even using a computer to simulate a digital combination experiment, it will take a long time. "

  Xia Jingxing's heart moved, he knew how to do permutations and combinations, and he didn't need to do those experiments anymore.

  But it’s a bit unreasonable for him to say it directly?

  Straubel spread his hands out, and just about to speak, he probably got a wound and grinned.

   "Are you okay?" Xia Jingxing asked with a look of concern.

  Straubel waved his hand with his intact right hand, "It's okay, don't worry about it."

  Straubel continued: “As long as this problem is solved, the last stumbling block before mass production will be removed.

  If this problem is not solved, even if the car is forcibly mass-produced, there will be many safety hazards on the road. "

   "Well, continue to experiment!"

  Eberhard thought for a while, looked at Xia Jingxing, and said: "At present, we still need to make a laboratory room with all bulletproof glass."

  "Safety first, buy!"

Xia Jingxing was very proud and directly agreed to Eberhard's suggestion.

  A few people talked about the battery issue again, and then the meeting ended.

  Xia Jingxing stopped Straubel and took the other person to his car to chat.

  Straubel thought that the big boss had something to order, and followed Xia Jingxing into the car.

  "The battery arrangement and combination you mentioned, I got a message, I don’t know if I can help you."

  Straubel looked surprised, "What news?"

  Xia Jingxing did not directly answer the other party’s question, and asked, “Have you heard of BYD?”

  Straubel nodded, “I’ve heard that it seems to be a Chinese car brand.

  Oh, they are not only producing cars, they are also producing batteries. Last year they became the world’s second largest manufacturer of rechargeable batteries. "

  Xia Jingxing smiled. It’s good to have heard of it, so that he can make up easily.

  "I heard a message that BYD is working on a new type of car battery.

  They encapsulated 69 small batteries in parallel to form a battery brick, 9 battery bricks in series to form a battery slice, and 11 battery slices in parallel to form a battery system. "

  Straubel was stunned for a while, and then he reacted and asked: "Daren, you mean let us try this permutation and combination method?"

  Xia Jingxing nodded, "Yes, it won’t take much time to try it anyway."

  Straubel frowned for a while, and then asked another question: "Is this reliable?"

  Xia Jingxing said ambiguously: "I don't know if it is reliable, you can try it once. It is the best if you succeed, and there is no big loss if you fail."

  Since the big boss said so, Straubel could only obey and nodded, "Okay, then I will try."

  "This matter is a bit low-key, and the way the information is obtained is a bit less glamorous."

  Xia Jingxing looked at Straubel's eyes and said seriously.

   "I know, Darren, don't worry, I will never tell others."

  Straubel made an expression of "I understand" and vowed to say.

  In fact, he is still very happy, after all, the boss can tell himself such secret things, this is to cultivate his confidant!

   "If it succeeds, then this is what you developed!"

  Xia Jingxing and Straubel stared at each other, and continued: "You have worked hard for the company for so long, and this time you have done meritorious service and suffered injuries. You can be worthy of a better job."

  Straubel lowered his head and smiled, not knowing how to answer the conversation.

  When he saw Xia Jingxing frowning because he hadn't answered for a long time, he quickly nodded, "Okay, I will do whatever you tell Dalun."

  Xia Jingxing showed a satisfied smile.

  This thing cannot be changed out of thin air, this is the best solution he arranged.

  God knows and earth knows, you know and I know.

  Straubel, as a vested interest, will certainly not talk nonsense with his mouth open.

  And the other party rejected Musk’s invitation, and now he is doing meritorious service for the company, it is suitable to be promoted, this credit is more appropriate to the other party.

   Seeing that Straubel was ready to go through fire and water for him at any time, he thought in his heart that he had gained a certain amount of loyalty.

  …………

  …………

  Straubel got the "secret recipe" given by Xia Jingxing and quickly started the experiment.

   Then, this is incredible.

  Looking at the experimental data recorded on the experimental equipment, Straubel rubbed his eyes to make sure that he did not see dazzling eyes.

  There was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and he shouted: "Success!"

  The shout, which attracted the onlookers of other employees.

  Everyone squeezed to watch the excitement.

   "Oh my God, Straubel, how did you do it?"

  "Is this the best solution at the moment? It looks dozens of times better than the previous one."

  ……

  The crowd exclaimed a few words from time to time, and it was all Tesla employees marveling at the experimental data.

   Soon, Eberhard and Tarpening arrived.

  After seeing the experimental data, the two were shocked. The problem that had troubled them for more than a year was solved in this way?

   "Straubel, how did you do it?"

  Tappening ignored the injury on the opponent's hand and slapped his shoulder.

  Straubel did not forget Xia Jingxing’s instructions, and said with a smile: “After I was injured that day, I returned home and couldn’t fall asleep.

  In the middle of the night, I dreamed of an old white-bearded grandfather. He was in a daze, as if he heard a string of numbers.

   Then I used this string of numbers for experimentation.

  At first, the order was reversed. I adjusted it several times and finally found the current combination of numbers. "

  The employees exclaimed.

   "You must have met God, this is a miracle!"

   "Grandpa White Beard, that's obviously Santa Claus."

   "Yes, Christmas is coming soon. It seems that Straubel received the Christmas gift ahead of time."

  ……

  The employees gave out bursts of kind laughter, mostly with some ridicule.

  Straubel did not explain too much, and followed everyone in silly fun.

   "For the sake of rigor, let's use this permutation and combination again and conduct a few more experiments."

  Eberhard is still very rigorous. After rejoicing, he put forward new suggestions.

  Straubel nodded, "Yes, we should experiment more to see if there are any errors."

  Just do it. With a group of employees watching, Eberhard personally served as an assistant to Straubel, and the two conducted more than a dozen experiments.

   "This is really a miracle!"

  Eberhard was completely convinced, with an unconcealable smile on his face.

  He took out the phone and dialed Xia Jingxing.

   "What? The battery pack was successfully developed? So fast? How did it do it?"

  In order to send the favor more thoroughly, Xia Jingxing completely pretended to be unaware.

  Eberhard laughed, "I don't know how to do it? But Straubel was injured that day, and God blessed him."

   "Oh, thank God, this is really great news."

  After sighing, Xia Jingxing said: "By the way, should I give Straubel a reward?"

  "Award, you must win, and you have to win many awards!" Eberhard said affirmatively in German.

  A few days later, Straubel received a new personnel notice and appointed him as the company’s battery technical director.

  For this appointment, no employees from all over the company were unconvinced and sent their blessings to Straubel.

  Of course, Straubel did not forget to call Xia Jingxing, who was kind to him, to thank him.

   "Go ahead, don't thank me! If you really want to repay me, please quickly give me the car to mass-produce..."

  Xia Jingxing, who hid her merit and fame, didn't take credit, only a few words of encouragement on the phone.
