Chapter 116: Progress 2
Lina entered the state-of-the-art lab, where advanced computer simulations and 3D modeling software were running on large, high-resolution screens. Dr. Sidorov was deeply engrossed in analyzing thermal data for the Bull ZS-1 EV on a multi-touch display.
"The thermal distribution is all over the place" Dr. Sidorov frowned, pointing at a large screen displaying thermal simulations. "Even with advanced cooling materials, the heat under load is unpredictable. If the battery gets too cold, ion flow slows down. Too hot, and we risk degrading or cracking the solid electrolyte. We need a better solution than just passive cooling."
Lina stepped up to the display, her eyes quickly scanning the data. She used a tablet to pull up additional information and began making rapid calculations.
"The current airflow dynamics are inefficient" Lina said calmly, after a brief pause.
"I’ve calculated an optimal redesign for the internal cooling channels, rerouting the primary vents to create a consistent thermal envelope. Additionally, a secondary thermal regulation system, integrated at the anode-cathode interface, could serve as a contingency for extreme external temperatures or prolonged fast-charge cycles."
Dr. Sidorov looked at Lina, his expression a mix of awe and curiosity. He processed her suggestions, recognizing their efficacy and foresight.
"My God... that’s... brilliant. So fast. You’re... you’re not human, are you?" Dr. Sidorov’s eyes widened as he stared at Lina.
Lina offered a subtle, non-committal smile, her eyes reflecting the screen’s light. She neither confirmed nor denied his unspoken thought.
"I am precisely what I need to be, Doctor" Lina replied with a soft, knowing smile playing on her lips.
