The realization of near-ambient room-temperature superconductivity (RTSC) and next-generation energy storage is fundamentally bottlenecked by extreme physical pressure requirements and thermodynamic phase instabilities. This theoretical framework introduces the Qindra-Core design, an engineered complex doped borohydride formulated as Zr0.75Ca0.25Li_2B_4H3.5F0.2O0.3. By utilizing heavy-cation (Zr⁴⁺, Ca²⁺) substitution to induce internal chemical pre-compression, the required external pressure for the stabilization of the high-symmetry covalent B-H metallic network is theorized to drop below 5 GPa. Furthermore, fractional electronegative doping (F, O) is utilized to tune the Fermi level, maximizing electron-phonon coupling (λ). To bypass the thermodynamic instability inherent in such highly energetic states, we propose a unified, solvent-free mechanochemical metathesis synthesis route governed by rapid-quench kinetic trapping. Depending on the final operating pressures, this single synthetic pipeline can be utilized to lock the lattice into specific metastable states for three distinct applications: a near-ambient RTSC (<5 GPa), a superionic solid-state battery electrolyte (ambient pressure), or a low-temperature solid-state hydrogen storage medium (1-10 MPa). A comprehensive computational roadmap for validation via Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Special Quasirandom Structures (SQS) is also provided.
