All the corporate representatives present were astonished; they had not expected to hear such significant news at the demonstration of a new partnership.
They felt overwhelmed for a moment, their minds preoccupied with the logic of unlimited solar power.
"A satellite orbiting the sun is sending energy over a hundred million kilometers to Earth?"
"This intense solar power is being converted into electrical energy by an energy receiver to power vehicles, yet such cutting-edge technology is being applied to the civilian automotive sector first?" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
At this thought, the representatives found it hard to accept because conventionally, such technology would surely be deployed first in military, space exploration, and other fields, before gradually becoming available for civilian use after maturing and meeting high-end demands.
Their notion was correct, yet they overlooked a significant issue—
Domestically, there were already Z-wave satellites, so such advanced technology wasn’t necessary to meet the scientific demands of the military or other related fields.
Moreover, the nation’s focus was on economic development.
Regardless of how advanced military technology might be, it requires economic backing, and economically speaking, there remains a certain gap compared to other developed nations.
This gap must be acknowledged.
Therefore, it was crucial to support the development of more companies, and corner overtaking was a viable option. The foreign hold on the automotive sector was strong, as most high-end automobile brands and patents related to vehicles were controlled by overseas companies.
If the competition were solely in the fuel vehicle sector, it could be said that domestically, there was no hope of catching up even before getting started.
New energy was an excellent opportunity. However, even with battery technology, domestic enterprises struggled to surpass the international top-level. At most, they could strive to catch up, to gain control of more technology and patents, striving to become top international enterprises.
What Yixing was doing now was positioning itself at the apex of the automotive industry. Once Unlimited Power Automobiles truly entered the market, it could be said that other automotive enterprises would have no power to fight back.
This was the real meaning of corner overtaking—competing in a new field where opponents didn’t even qualify to be on the stage.
This would boost the domestic enterprises’ authority in the automotive field, naturally bringing about a series of economic benefits.
As more similar enterprises emerged, standing at the top of the pyramid in various fields, the domestic economy would no longer pose a problem. The average income per capita could easily surpass the world’s.
The economy is the core.
This was one of the reasons why Yixing’s application for the use of various top-tier technologies was readily approved.
The corporate representatives finally grasped the concept of ’solar-powered unlimited propulsion,’ and they couldn’t help but feel that ’Unlimited Power’ was truly different when coming from Academician Zhao.
Solar energy on Earth indeed could not achieve unlimited power, but the solar energy around the sun definitely could.
These latest technology solar energy cars didn’t even require the step of ’refueling,’ and they were undoubtedly more convenient than fuel vehicles, while also being the perfect clean energy source without polluting the environment.
The only drawback might be the generation of heat, but compared to the greenhouse gases produced by traditional cars, the transmitted heat was negligible.
Compared to the greenhouse effect generated by the automotive sector, the unlimited solar energy could be considered as if the sun were just a tiny bit more active for a day, and Earth absorbed just a tiny bit more—
This ’tiny bit’ was truly negligible.
Although they didn’t know the exact power the Energy-Gathering Satellite surrounding the sun could transmit, an analogy made it quite clear.
For example, a nuclear explosion.
The heat generated by the lowest-grade nuclear explosion could probably match several months or a year’s worth of the Energy-Gathering Satellite’s transmitted heat, right? freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
That meant the yearly greenhouse effect created by the global automotive sector was still trivial. For this reason, it was internationally recognized that traditional fuel vehicle production should be gradually banned.
When such cars officially hit the market, it’s likely that the leading international auto companies might be on the brink of closing down, right?
Many corporate representatives silently mourned the future of traditional automakers.
Then, they became spirited.
The representative from Changyuan Auto, Qin Huachang, immediately focused on the key point and asked, "Academician Zhao, has Yixing considered selling these solar energy receivers?"
Everyone present looked forward with anticipation.
If Yixing Unlimited Power Company were selling these energy conversion devices, wouldn’t they easily enter the automotive market as well?
This was a super international market. With the core of unlimited power, they could manufacture related vehicles.
Getting into any industry first offers a massive advantage.
Zhao Yi’s response was slightly disappointing, "We haven’t considered it yet," he thought for a moment and spoke frankly, "Because we’ve only launched one Energy-Gathering Satellite, there’s a limit to the power it can transmit. Even we can’t mass-produce Unlimited Power Automobiles."
It made sense!
While the answer was regrettable, the corporate representatives were still very excited because with one Energy-Gathering Satellite deployed, there would certainly be a second.
