The Light of Domestic Products: The whole world begs me to sell

Chapter 231 Ready to Restart Negotiations? !
Mask's eyelids twitched, his heart pounding at Miller's words.

A large part of the progress of science and technology on this planet comes from the progress of materials.

For example, the batteries on new energy vehicles, today's "semi-solid lithium batteries" or the next stage of "all-solid lithium batteries", will not be able to truly achieve a leap in battery power after all.

Only when the graphene battery in the laboratory is really commercialized and great achievements have been made in graphene, can the problem of new energy batteries be solved.

Lightweight has always been very important for cars.

Millions of sports cars will choose to use carbon fiber materials in various parts of the car body in pursuit of lighter body and faster running.

However, ordinary family cars, even entry-level sports cars with a million-level, are nothing more than replacing steel plates with aluminum alloys to reduce weight, but aluminum alloys are not cheap.

Mask immediately realized the commercial value behind the MQ1 polymer material. Once it can be applied to automobiles for commercialization, it will definitely be a market worth hundreds of billions!
Thinking of this, his thoughts returned to more than a year ago. He remembered that when Phoenix Group first used polymer materials on Phoenix bicycles, Zesla asked for MQ1 polymer materials.

but.

Phoenix finally rejected Zesla's purchase request because the polymer material is not suitable for high-speed conditions and is not suitable for use in cars.

Unexpectedly, more than a year later, the Phoenix Group actually applied the MQ1 polymer material to the super sports car!
Mask thought quickly, and when he was about to ask Miller in depth, a low voice of surprise suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Director Miller, Phoenix Motors is preparing to launch a self-driving bus with a 'steering wheel-less mode'?"

When Mask was talking to Miller, Pichayi, the CEO of Google, had already seen the information behind.

He was not too interested in the Phoenix super sports car or the MQ1 polymer material, but when he saw the design of the Phoenix "unmanned bus", he finally couldn't help exclaiming.

Miller turned his gaze to Pichai, nodded, and said helplessly:

"Mr. Pichai, that's why I asked you to come today."

"Google Waymo's self-driving cars are very famous all over the Americas, but you haven't had a real car on the market so far."

"As for Yanguo's Phoenix Motors, they will deliver this 'unmanned bus' for use in a month's time."

He shook his head:

"I have to say that I was also very sad when I heard the news. Not only did they surpass us in the 'with steering wheel mode' automatic driving in family cars, but in the 'no steering wheel mode' automatic driving, the marketization is also fast. step."

Picha's face turned livid for a moment, and his mood suddenly became irritable.

He stood up and walked around the house, not because Phoenix Motors was ahead of Google in the "no steering wheel mode" technology, but because he found that the technical route adopted by Phoenix's "unmanned bus" was different from that of Google.

The technical route adopted by Gu Ge is to develop more hardware and software for bicycles, to improve the hardware perception ability and the accuracy of software recognition on the car, while the technical route adopted by Phoenix is ​​vehicle-road coordination.

"Vehicle-road coordination!"

"SHIT! They really chose the technical route of 'vehicle-road coordination'!"

Suddenly, Picha's voice suddenly increased and he shouted.

In fact, if Phoenix Motors and Gu Ge have the same technical route, even if the commercialization progress is preempted by Phoenix Motors, it can at least prove that this technical route is feasible, and it is nothing more than the difference between early and late.

And now...

Phoenix Motors took a road that Gu Ge couldn't go!
The Americas do not have the so-called full coverage of 5G networks at all. How can it be possible to achieve vehicle-road coordination technology?
This is not something that can be decided by a company called Google, it is a matter for GJ in America!
Pichai felt a chill on his back after a meal, which already involved the problem of technical route!

If Phoenix's "unmanned public transport" is put into commercial use as scheduled, it will undoubtedly verify that the technical route chosen by Phoenix Motors is correct.

In other words, all investors will worry about whether Google’s Waymo’s technical route is wrong because of the success of Phoenix’s car technology...

And once it loses the trust of investors, it means that Gu Ge has completely declared a failure in the layout of the entire autonomous driving field.

"Director Miller, are you sure there is no problem with your source of information?"

"According to my understanding of vehicle-road coordination technology, this is not something that can be solved by a few road cameras. It requires every road to have..."

Picha spoke very quickly, before he could finish, Mask suddenly interrupted him.

"Mr. Pichai, I can understand your current mood, but from what I know about Phoenix Motors, they probably realized such a function."

"Now Yanguo is the country with the most 5G base stations in the world. Although they have slowed down the construction of 5G base stations in the past two years, this does not prevent them from carrying out 5G coverage in important cities in Yanguo..."

"And if you look at their 'remote intervention' function, it is obvious that the biggest safety hazard of the 'no steering wheel mode' has been taken into consideration. The core key of the 'remote intervention' technology is instant communication every second. Network communication requirements are very high."

"Instant messaging, we can't solve the problem of network delay, but Yanguo can."

"Under the 5G environment, the communication network delay per second is not even 10 milliseconds, and there is no problem at all."

As soon as Picha's body stiffened, he couldn't help but wanted to punch the table, but in the next second, he still held back and didn't hit it.

He put his hands on the table and looked up at Director Miller:
"Before, no car company in the world was able to commercialize the 'no steering wheel mode', but now Phoenix Motors has found a solution."

"For us, we must immediately carry out research and development on this technical route, and now, our basic network infrastructure has seriously affected our technical iteration."

"Director Miller."

"I hope we can pay more attention to the construction of 5G network. Unmanned autonomous driving technology must be the core technology in the future, but now we are lagging behind again!"

"Sir, we can't live without 5G! You can't let all our applications pass the mask's Starlink satellites?!"

Mask heard Picha talking about Starlink satellites, smiled and shook his head:

"Dude, Starlink satellites can only solve the problem of networking and global delay, not the problem of 5G."

After speaking, he looked at Director Miller.

"Director Miller, thank you for providing us with the internal information of Phoenix Motors today, but the technology on Phoenix's "unmanned bus" is not advanced in technology, but advanced in network communication. We, Zesla, have no choice , Brother Gu can’t do anything about it.”

"However, I am very interested in the MQ1 polymer material you mentioned."

Miller shook his head and smiled wryly:
"Both of you should know that the biggest reason we blocked Huawei Group is because of Huawei's absolute leadership in 5G technology."

"Once they control the industry rules, we will follow the rules set by them throughout the 5G communication era. If we use Huawei's 5G technology, it will inevitably relax the blockade against Huawei..."

Pichai spread out his hands:

"Hua Wei..."

"Huawei is not as scary as the Phoenix car in front of me. I know Huawei very well. Believe me, they are not as scary as imagined."

"We must have more 5G networks now, it is very important for our future technology development, Sir, I am not kidding!"

Seeing Pichai's serious expression, Miller nodded and continued:
"You two, to tell you the truth, I called you two today just to understand their relationship with autonomous driving technology and 5G. We have also received requests from many companies to increase 5G network construction these days."

"And now, we are indeed considering easing Huawei's blockade."

"No, it should be said that we also realize that we need more 5G networks. We are considering restarting negotiations with Yanguo. Huawei will become our bargaining chip in the game..."

Such a shocking news made Mask and Pichai's faces change drastically. The higher ups are going to restart negotiations with Yan Guo and loosen Huawei?
Mask's mind changed, Huawei became a bargaining chip in the game?
that……

The Phoenix Group is also a part of the bargaining chip.

Thinking of this, he saw a column of English written on the information.

"It is expected that Phoenix Motor CEO Zhang Feiyang will personally lead the team to participate in the Frankfurt Motor Show in one month..."

Mask narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Director Miller, I have a good suggestion."

"We can make the Phoenix Group a bargaining chip in our game..."
