Chapter 148 Xingyuan Smart Car
The availability of solid-state mobile phone batteries allowed Warwick to restore the supply of flagship phones and Xingyao solid-state battery mobile phones, so that users who were already anxiously waiting could finally get their long-awaited love phones.

At the same time, Huawei's mobile phone sales also ushered in a new round of skyrocketing.

In addition, other mobile phone brands such as Xiaomi, with the help of the charm of solid-state batteries, have returned to the low-end market.

Especially for Xiaomi, it has completely opened up the non-regional market with solid-state battery mobile phones.

Changed the predicament encountered before.

On the other hand, Pingguo is quite embarrassing. The sodium-ion batteries of Ningwang New Energy cannot continue to be used, and the traditional lithium batteries do not have the core competitiveness. They can only watch their mobile phone sales continue to decline.

Although Kulas regretted it quite a lot, he had no way to deal with it.

In the end, in order to try to take the initiative to reverse the situation, Kulas went to Songxia Battery and Sanxing Electronics in person, hoping that they could participate in the research of solid-state batteries.

In this way, as long as we overcome the production technology of solid-state batteries and achieve the performance of Xingyuan solid-state batteries, we can get rid of the current embarrassing situation.

Even if the cost price is higher, it is acceptable.

However, both parties said that according to the current research progress, it will take at least a few years to reach this level of technology.

But I'm afraid it won't make any sense to wait until then.

After all, the technology of Xingyuan battery is also improving, and no one will stop and wait for the chaser in the scientific research industry.

Losing the last hope, Pingguo can only choose to do poorly in the mobile phone business and gradually shift its focus to other businesses.

Wait until the next year to successfully obtain solid-state mobile phone batteries, and then find a way to restore the market.

With the passage of time, the number of new energy vehicles on the road has gradually increased, especially on expressways, where there are battery replacement stations that are similar in number to gas stations. Don't worry about running out of electricity.

Under such circumstances, many automobile companies and brands have begun to produce their own new energy vehicles, and gradually focus on the business of traditional gasoline vehicles in overseas markets.

As a result, Xingyuan Battery has also received battery purchasing orders from many companies.

However, because the production capacity of the three battery bases has been allocated for the first year, and Xu Lei will leave a lot of solid-state power batteries for battery replacement, he can only provide solid-state batteries after two years.

In addition, a major event also took place internationally during this period.

Yan Guo announced for the first time that it will reduce the import of crude oil.

The most direct impact of this approach is that Xingyuan solid-state batteries are jointly restricted by various overseas forces.

Prohibit its circulation in overseas markets.

The main reason is that shortly after the announcement of the decision to reduce crude oil imports, international crude oil prices dropped.

After all, demand has dropped.

However, if the price of crude oil is allowed to continue to drop, it will seriously affect the life and economy of many regions. Naturally, various overseas forces will not stand by and watch.

Xu Lei originally planned to build charging centers and battery replacement stations in other places overseas, but after this happened, he had to give up the project and focus on Xingyuan smart cars for the time being.

With the efforts of Hu Xinren's team, the intelligent production line of Xingyuan smart car was quickly built.

And passed a number of calibration tests.

Looking around, there are orange robotic arms in sight, which is quite a sci-fi feeling.

Even according to Hu Xinren's plan, he will lead the team to continue to upgrade the intelligent production line, and the next step will be to build a fully intelligent industrial robot production line.

At that time, whether it is a solid-state battery or a smart car, the production efficiency will be greatly improved.

Xu Lei naturally strongly supported this, and said on the spot that he could apply for research funding at any time.

After completely solving the problem of the production line, only the core components of the car remained. This aspect was also carried out in an orderly manner under the responsibility of Wang Dawen.

Not only is it equipped with the latest electronic control system and motor, but even the body is made of special polymer materials.

It can be said that it is impossible for all car brand companies in the world to find a second copy of this material alone.

that's it.

Before the arrival of the New Year's Day holiday, the first Xingyuan smart car was finally produced at the solid-state battery base in Binjiang City.

……

……

Friday, January 12th.

Binjiang City battery production base.

After receiving the news from Wang Dawen, Xu Lei, who rushed over from Longfor High-tech Park, was very excited when he saw the car in front of him.

And he made no secret of the anticipation on his face.

Like a little friend who got a big toy.

I just want to get in the car and experience it.

"Who designed this model, it's really handsome!"

Standing in front of the front of the car, Xu Lei was not stingy with his praise while stroking the body with both hands.

The whole car is dominated by white tones, but the color is not that simple big white, with a nearly perfect model, the first impression is that it is handsome enough.

It's the kind of car that you want to buy when you see it.

In particular, I don't know if it's because of the special polymer material used in the body, Xu Lei's touch is obviously different from other cars.

Originally, Xu Lei only wanted to improve the internal quality of this car to ensure that it had the qualifications to enter the high-end market, but he did not expect that the appearance was also almost perfect.

Wang Dawen, who was standing beside him at the moment, saw Xu Lei full of praise for this car, and a happy expression suddenly appeared on his face.

Then he opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Xu, you are wrong this time. The model of this car was designed by Xingtong."

"There are two color schemes in black and white."

"In addition, the car in front of you is specially prepared for you, Mr. Xu. Although the appearance is the same as other cars, the various configurations inside are the most high-end specifications."

"I said which excellent designer can design such a perfect car model. It turned out to be Xingtong's work."

After listening to Wang Dawen's answer, Xu Lei suddenly realized what he said casually.

With Xingtong's current ability, designing a model can only be said to be extremely simple, and others need to spend a lot of time to modify, but Xingtong can generate tens of thousands of different parameters in a short period of time, so it is possible to choose the most perfect model. of that.

However, after hearing Wang Dawen say that this car was specially prepared for him, Xu Lei's interest suddenly increased a lot.

Now, due to his status, every time he travels, he is bound to be very exciting. Not only does he follow Cheng Fei and many other security personnel, but he also rides in a special car.

It may be acceptable at first, but now it is inevitable that there will be a feeling of losing freedom.

If you travel in this smart car in the future, even if you drive alone on the road, it will not attract the attention of the public.

In addition, with star pupils monitoring various areas in real time, there is no need to worry about whereabouts information and other aspects, even if Cheng Fei and the others are not around.

So after thinking of this, Xu Lei couldn't hold it any longer, and then opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat.

Because the Xingyuan smart car retains the traditional manual driving when it is designed, there are two driving modes in total.

Its steering wheel can be stowed and opened according to the selection of different modes.

Besides the steering wheel, the most conspicuous thing is the central control screen in the middle. After the vehicle is started, the virtual model of the entire vehicle is displayed on it. No matter there is a problem in any part during driving, it will give an early warning.

Just as Xu Lei was thinking about whether to proceed to the next step, he heard the familiar electronic synthesis sound coming from the screen.

"Boss, you are welcome to take Xingyuan smart car, please choose your destination."

"The core program of this car is a simplified version of Xingtong. The owner can freely choose a male voice or a female voice. Because I have bound this car with you, Mr. Xu, that's why she directly calls you the boss."

Wang Dawen, who was already sitting in the co-pilot at some point, took the initiative to explain to Xu Lei.

And after saying this, he suggested: "Mr. Xu, why don't we drive around the closed road behind the base?"

"Then drive around."

Xu Lei knew that there was not enough area in the base to test the performance of the Xingyuan smart car, so Wang Dawen and the others applied for the closed road behind the base as a test site.

Now that he has already sat in the car, there is no reason to refuse Wang Dawen's words.

After all, not driving such a good car is the same as taking the bride to play flying chess at the wedding night in the bridal chamber. Xu Lei will definitely not do this.

Besides, since Wang Dawen dared to take the initiative to test drive, it means that this car has already passed a comprehensive test.

At any rate, with the support of Xingtong and Lingsi car chips, there will be no problems.

At least Xu Lei still has this confidence.

But Chen Shihe and Cheng Fei were very worried about this, and they firmly disagreed with Xu Lei taking this Xingyuan smart car alone.

In the end, Chen Shihe and Cheng Fei had no choice but to get in the car, and the four of them drove out of the base to the closed road behind.

But there were still several security cars following behind.

After choosing the destination to go to, the steering wheel in front of Xu Lei was automatically put away in driverless mode, and then the vehicle started slowly and accelerated gradually.

During this process, Xu Lei also felt a very obvious push back.

It shows that the motor used in this car does have great advantages compared with the motor of ordinary new energy vehicles.

Of course, sitting in the co-pilot seat, Wang Dawen was not idle at all. While the car was accelerating, he continued to introduce other advantages of the car to Xu Lei.

"Mr. Xu."

"After our previous test of this car, even at a high speed of 120 yards, the driverless mode still works normally."

"In addition, no matter how complicated and changeable the road conditions are, Xingyuan smart cars can also flexibly avoid them."

"To be honest, I am [-]% sure that the data of our car will crush Tesla and the others."

Feeling the performance of this smart car carefully, Xu Lei is quite satisfied.

Faced with what Wang Dawen said, Xu Lei finally made a decision on the spot after driving a few laps on the closed road.

"Then let's take advantage of New Year's Day to give everyone a surprise, and tomorrow the Xingyuan smart car will be officially released."
