The Metal Hydrogen Battery was released, a rectangular block-like object resembling a brick.
At the same time, the headquarters building of Tianyu Group behind Su Yi also transformed into a giant screen.
The item on the display stand was projected as a close-up on the screen, allowing everyone present to see it clearly.
"What is this?"
"A black block, looking like some kind of plastic material on top. What does this have to do with those flying armors?"
"I don't know!"
"…"
Some informed Kyushu people, upon seeing this object, naturally knew it was a Metal Hydrogen Battery.
However, most foreigners thought that today Mr. Su was going to display Power Armor and exoskeletons, so they truly couldn't guess what this was at first.
It wasn't until a researcher from the White-headed Eagle Empire, who had come with the delegation, rubbed his eyes repeatedly, looked at the inconspicuous positive and negative terminals on the battery, and tentatively stood up to ask Mr. Su:
"Could it be… some kind of battery?"
"You guessed correctly, but unfortunately, there's no prize," Mr. Su said with a smile.
"This is the latest product from Tianyu Energy, a subsidiary of our Tianyu Group."
"It is made using a completely different structure and materials from all batteries currently on the market. The mainstream on the market should be lithium batteries, right? I can clearly tell everyone, it is completely different from lithium batteries."
"It is—the Metal Hydrogen Battery."
"I won't elaborate on the specific principles one by one; I imagine no one is here to listen to me read an academic paper."
"Let me briefly tell you its approximate data."
"First is the most important issue for batteries: energy density. For the same volume, the energy density of the Metal Hydrogen Battery is 900 times that of gasoline…"
"What?!"
"How many times?!"
"This is absolutely impossible! I absolutely don't believe it!"
Before Mr. Su could finish speaking, the entire exhibition hall erupted.
Of course, because most of those present today were government officials from various countries, there weren't many actual researchers. Therefore, most people were bewildered after hearing this data. Only a few who were knowledgeable couldn't hold back after hearing this terrifying number.
There were only about a dozen of these people in total.
After all, the quotas for each country were limited, and many countries only sent one or two people, and not many were able to bring their own researchers along.
However, the exclamations of just these dozen or so people created quite a stir.
Forcing Mr. Su to pause his boasting.
But he wasn't annoyed by it; if these people weren't surprised, how could it highlight how amazing Tianyu Group's products were?
This was precisely the effect he wanted.

Chapter 133: Hardcore Experiment
: How many times?
: 900 times that of gasoline? What a load of nonsense!
: As expected of the boss of Tianyu Group. For a moment, I couldn't tell if he was talking nonsense or being serious.
: It's obviously nonsense. I estimate this guy doesn't understand technology at all and has no concept of the numbers he's spouting. 900 times the energy of gasoline in the same volume, and it's a controllable battery? Anyone with even a little knowledge of related subjects wouldn't say something so outrageous.
: It's over. Whoever wrote this script, their job is probably on the line after today.
: Do you think it's possible that he's telling the truth? That this battery's energy density really is 900 times that of gasoline?
: What a load of crap! If that were true, I'd go downstairs and eat the community's green belt. It's too fake.
: Tianyu Group's brain-dead fans really go out without their brains. Believing this is no different from someone telling you on the street that you weren't born of your mother but of a monkey, and you actually believe it.
: The bunch upstairs are going crazy. Do you even know what metal hydrogen is before you start shouting? If it really is a Metal Hydrogen Battery, the energy density might indeed be that high. The difficulty lies in how they managed to make this into a battery.
: No, hydrogen… can this thing be related to metal? I haven't read much, but I can pass junior high chemistry. Don't lie to me.
: Nothing is impossible. I have a feeling Tianyu Group is really going to do something big this time. Just wait and see.
: I think so too. If this is true, the previous debate about what energy source Power Armor uses can also be explained. They really do have black technology.
: Indeed, with a battery of such extremely high energy density, even with current technology, it's not impossible to develop an exoskeleton armor.
: Wait a minute, if this battery is really that amazing…
: Oh no, I need to quickly sell all the energy stocks I hold!
: Damn it, I just bought an electric car!!!
: …
The audience at the scene was bewildered and incredulous, and those watching the live broadcast were naturally no better off.
And there were more people in the live broadcast room, making it easier for thoughts to diverge.
Some thought it was fake, while others, having witnessed the unreasonable products Tianyu Group had released before, believed that all of this was true.
The two factions hadn't even had time to start arguing when someone immediately realized something was wrong.
Especially those involved in stocks and funds, their noses were sharper than anyone else's, and they immediately sensed that something big was amiss.
Regardless of whether Tianyu Group's Metal Hydrogen Battery was real or fake, since they dared to announce it now, it would likely be difficult to disprove it in a short period.
If it couldn't be quickly disproven, then a plummeting of related sectors in the stock market became inevitable.
If not now, while the news hadn't spread, when else would be the time to make a quick escape?
Mr. Su hadn't expected it to cause such a chain reaction.
Of course, the appearance of the Metal Hydrogen Battery was bound to affect related companies, but this was simply not within his consideration.
Or rather, neither Tianyu Group nor the Kyushu Official, when faced with such a technology capable of completely overturning an entire industry, would consider what those crushed by this technology might think.
Even if some of them were Kyushu enterprises.
But so what?
It was natural for old productivity to be replaced by new technology.
Compared to their outdated lithium battery technology, Tianyu Group's Metal Hydrogen Battery clearly represented the future.
Ignoring the astonishment of others below the stage, Mr. Su continued to describe the characteristics of the Metal Hydrogen Battery.
"I won't say much about how the Metal Hydrogen Battery is made, but essentially, this is a technology that converts hydrogen energy into electrical energy. And compared to lithium batteries on the market, the hydrogen-based Metal Hydrogen Battery will not cause any pollution even if it leaks."
Upon hearing this, a Western scientist suddenly raised his hand and said:
"Mr. Su, if the energy density of this battery is truly as great as you say, then if it leaks, people would probably be concerned about more than just environmental pollution, wouldn't they? As far as I know, even TNT explosives do not have as high an energy density."
His implication was naturally to insinuate that either the energy density Mr. Su just mentioned was false, or this was a walking bomb, one with even greater destructive power than TNT.
Mr. Su had anticipated such a question and was unconcerned, merely smiling and saying:
"Your concern is not unfounded, but since our research team dared to make a substance with such high energy density into a battery, of course, we have corresponding safety solutions."
With that, he gestured, and a Power Armor, which had been standing nearby as a mascot, immediately walked closer.
With a casual flick, it drew its chainsword.
Then, in front of so many people present, it directly slashed the battery with the sword.
Swoosh~!
Like a hot knife through butter.
With almost no resistance, the battery, along with the display stand beneath it, was cut into two halves.
The imagined explosion naturally did not occur. After a few wisps of white smoke, the battery completely ceased to move.
Only the metal-like solid substance at the cut surface rapidly dissolved upon contact with air, and soon, the outer layer completely disappeared, revealing the black isolation board inside.
Mr. Su bent down, picked up the severed battery, weighed it in his hand, and then put the two halves together into an instrument brought by a staff member.
Two Tianyu Group technicians quickly connected the severed battery with wire harnesses, then used a wire connected to a light bulb to touch the positive and negative terminals of the battery respectively.
The moment the light bulb lit up, only two words remained in everyone's minds:
Awesome!
: I don't understand, but I'm greatly shocked.
: I can understand that it didn't explode when cut on the spot, attributing it to Tianyu Group's amazing technology. But how the hell is it reasonable that a battery cut in half, connected by a flimsy wire in the middle, and then connected to wires at both ends, can still discharge stably?
: Looking at the battery's structure, I speculate that the battery's interior should be partitioned. The sections damaged by that cut do not affect other sections. As long as the internal cables of the battery are connected, it can still be used. This is actually easier to explain. But that it was violently cut open without exploding, or even showing a single spark, I truly cannot understand. If this battery truly has such high energy density, how did they manage to release all the energy from the battery in such a short time?
: I think those dissipating block-like metal objects must be the so-called metal hydrogen, right? It dissipated without any sound at all. I'm starting to doubt if the energy density is really that high.
: Doubt what? Didn't they say? These things will be available for sale after the press conference. If they were lying, who would buy them then? What's the point of lying at a time like this?
: That seems right too.
