Technology company, I will become the light of China!

Chapter 454: Global Exclusive, Far Ahead

After the surprise at the scene subsided a little, Chen Xing slowly explained: "We use millimeter wave laser radar and four auxiliary laser radars to collect road information, and then use the algorithm model and the super computing power of Huaxia chips to finally achieve L3 level unmanned autonomous driving."

“Maybe my description is a little vague, but you can first watch a video to understand how autonomous driving works.”

The words fell.

A demonstration video appeared on the LED screen.

In the short video, the first thing that catches the eye is the working status of the millimeter-wave lidar. You can clearly see it emitting detection lasers. After collecting road information, the onboard unmanned intelligent driving system uses a built-in algorithm to quickly draw the three-dimensional structure of road objects and identify the information of the objects.

After the 2-minute principle video ended, Chen Xing continued, "After watching the video, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of unmanned autonomous driving technology. In order to dispel your remaining concerns, I will say a few more words and systematically explain its principles to you."

After a half-second pause, he casually said what he had already memorized: "The principle of our millimeter-wave lidar autonomous driving mainly involves laser ranging technology and complex information perception and processing."

"What is laser ranging?"

“This is generally divided into pulse ranging, phase ranging, and laser triangulation ranging.”

"Let's talk about the pulse ranging method first. This is to use the laser radar to emit a very short laser pulse, measure the time difference from the laser pulse being emitted to the time it is reflected by the target object and received, and then apply the formula: distance = speed of light × time difference/2."

"Pulse ranging has a long coverage range, but the accuracy may be limited by the operating frequency of the pulse counter and the pulse width of the laser source, so we only use it to roughly measure the distance of the object."

"For roads with higher precision requirements, such as underground parking lot entrances and shopping mall underground entrances, the Pilot 001 vehicle-mounted intelligent frame system will enable phase ranging and triangulation ranging at the same time, allowing the three ranging methods to run simultaneously."

At this point, Chen Xing's mouth corners suddenly curled up slightly, and he got out of the driver's seat and looked at the CEOs of the car companies in the stands.

“Perhaps you have no idea about the simultaneous operation of three distance measurement methods. Let’s put it this way. This requires a mature algorithm model and ultra-high computing power support. At present, we are the only company in the world that can do this.”

"Wow—"

There was constant uproar at the scene.

The only one in the world?
What a big tone!

However, the fact is that Longxing Group is the only global company that covers the fields of semiconductor chips, artificial intelligence, information and communications, and automobiles.

Do you want to surpass?

Sorry, that’s too difficult!

The car company CEOs at the scene had different expressions, but no one dared to stand up and say that their own unmanned autonomous driving used three ranging methods, including Tesla founder Marsik, who has been deeply researching autonomous driving for several years.

The audience in the live broadcast room listened to Chen Xing's tone and witnessed the changes in the expressions of the CEOs of the car companies in the stands, and they all came to their senses.

"Fuck, we're so far ahead again?"

"You are so far ahead of others in your field. How can other car companies survive? Mr. Chen, you are my god!"

"I now understand why Mr. Chen proposed the concept of artificial intelligence at the 5G Network International Business Conference. It turns out that it was for today. This is the vision and judgment of the CEO of a trillion-dollar company!"

"I have to say, this is a very sharp vision. Who would have thought that three laymen could make a car to this level?"

"No need to say more, we are so far ahead!"

"Far ahead!"

"Far ahead!"

Countless “far ahead” comments were posted, and this time even the haters were speechless because they simply couldn’t find any points to refute.

Ever since Nvidia's core business returned to China, even if other technology companies want to research artificial intelligence, they must purchase corresponding GPU graphics cards as a source of computing power.

Of course.

If you have money, use a CPU.

However, when it comes to building computing power in the field of artificial intelligence, GPUs are far more efficient than CPUs. The latter is like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito, which can be killed, but the cost is several times or even dozens of times that of a GPU.

This is also the fundamental reason why there is only Longxing Group in the field of artificial intelligence.

If Apple, Microsoft, and Google want to delve deeper into the field of artificial intelligence, it is just like the chip crisis that Longxing Technology Company encountered two years ago. There are restrictions and barriers everywhere, and they have no way to make any progress.

This time, their "far ahead" status was not only recognized by the entire network, but even the Western forces who were watching the live broadcast had to admit that Chen Xing had really built a high technical wall for them.

Do you think artificial intelligence is useless?
what about now?

Besides the Pilot 3 car, who else can achieve L001 level autonomous driving?

……

Chen Xing was not pretentious. After announcing the specific technical principles, he continued:

"Those who are familiar with my press conference style know that I usually adhere to the philosophy of practice makes perfect, so let us photographers be the first witnesses to experience the unmanned autonomous driving in person."

"???"

The photographer in the car was stunned.

No one told him there was such a process.

The photographer who was shooting outside breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't go in to shoot just now, otherwise he would have come to experience it.

"Little dragon, little dragon."

【I am here. 】

As the photographer stared in shock, Chen Xing called out to the intelligent driving assistant and gave the order: "Go around Track 1 of the Shenzhen International Racing Circuit, and then come back here."

[OK, please close the door.]

"Relax and trust our quality control." Chen Xing comforted her while closing the car door neatly and retreating to the outside of the runway.

"Gulu."

The photographer swallowed.

He is the official photographer of Longxing Group hired by Chen Xing at a high price. If he gets off the car now, he will lose his job, but if he doesn't get off the car, his life may be in danger. After making the decision, he chooses to believe in the scientific research and technological level of his own group.

Not a moment.

Pilot 001 starts itself.

The photographer sitting in the back seat pointed the camera lens at the driver's seat, and the entire network of viewers could clearly see through his lens that the steering wheel was moving by itself.

Gradually, the vehicle began to accelerate.

20 yards.

30 yards.

50 yards.

The car maintained a stable speed of 50 miles per hour. Although the photographer was afraid, he also felt the magic of technological progress.

Ten years ago, if someone said that cars don’t need humans to drive, and that artificial intelligence alone can drive better than many experienced drivers, many people probably wouldn’t believe it and might even curse.

But now?

Driverless cars have really come true!
"Amazing."

The photographer couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Xing returned to the podium with full confidence. He continued, "Next, we will set a challenge for the driverless car to see if it can pass it successfully."

The director was also very sensible and switched the live broadcast screen to the “main and sub-screen”.

Without affecting the viewing of the pilot 001 test of unmanned driving, the audience can also see Chen Xing in the secondary screen in the lower right corner, and the sound from both sides can be heard.

"The speed is 55-60 mph, which should be the normal driving speed of most people. Let's see what L3 driving can bring us."

Chen Xing kept the secret.

Suddenly, a roaring sound appeared in the main screen's Linghang 001 lens, and a blue Linghang 001 was accelerating and overtaking in the right lane and squeezing into the left lane.

"Drip-drip-"

A warning sounded inside the car.

The photographer has overcome his fear and he points the camera at the center console screen, on which a danger sign pops up.

When the blue pilot 001 on the right side squeezed in and broke the safety limit, the test version of the pilot 001 that the photographer was riding in immediately slowed down to allow the other car to squeeze into the left lane smoothly.

Before the photographer could breathe a sigh of relief, more and more Pilot 001s appeared on the road, most of them were driving at a snail's pace, but there was room for overtaking.

At this time, Chen Xing on the podium said calmly: "When you are out, I believe everyone has encountered the scene of slow driving on the road. Many novice drivers are afraid to overtake and can only follow behind them and eat the exhaust gas. Now let's see how the intelligent driving system Xiaolong will judge."

Under the gaze of tens of millions of people, the photographer's pilot 001 suddenly turned on the right turn signal after following for a while, and then overtook the car on the right smoothly.

All of a sudden.

The audience in the live broadcast room was shocked.

"Overtaking on the right? Is it still possible to overtake on the right? It seems that Subject One and Subject Four say that you can't overtake on the right!"

"A novice driver has appeared. Listen to my advice and really buy a Pilot 001. Even a robot can drive better than me!"

"I'm a ten-year veteran driver. Let me put it this way: traffic rules are meant to help you drive better and pay attention to driving safety, not to make you drive blindly according to the rules."

"I remembered that during my internship, I would honk the horn when I encountered a curve, and quickly switch from high beam to low beam when I encountered oncoming cars. Although this is correct, it is very tiring to drive. In general, it depends on personal driving habits."

"A 20-year veteran driver said, young man, you need to be able to adapt to changing circumstances when driving. Not everyone in this society follows the rules!"

The intelligent driving system of the Linghang 001 car alone made many experienced drivers give it a thumbs up based on its overtaking on the right.

Don’t think it’s an exaggeration. As long as you drive often, you will really encounter “good kids” who are afraid to overtake and just sit behind you and breathe in the exhaust gas.

"Let's increase the difficulty." Just when everyone thought that the test was over, Chen Xing announced again.

"Need to test again?" BYD CEO Wang Fu was not calm. He never expected that Chen Xing would throw out the trump card of unmanned autonomous driving.

It wasn't just Wang Fu. CEOs of domestic auto companies all looked frightened. This technological reshuffle came too quickly, leaving them no time to prepare.

"Ah…"

Chen Hong smiled bitterly.

He finally realized how much of a clown he was, and he actually wanted to strike back and mass-produce a car based on the configuration of the Pilot 001. Targeted?

How can we target them now?

L3 level intelligent driving, leading the world.

Not to mention Chen Hong from SAIC Group, even Tesla founder and CEO Thomas Ke was shocked by the scene before him.

Autonomous driving has been realized, smart cars have really been made possible. This has been his plan for more than ten years. He did not expect that it would be ruthlessly surpassed today, and by the Longxing Group.

Brain-computer interface, satellite network, unmanned driving, Masick's plans were all disrupted. Now his thoughts were extremely confused and his breathing became unusually frequent.

Why is this happening?

The reason is simple, that is the bet agreement.

He has signed a "Betting Agreement" on behalf of Tesla and Shanghai. If he fails to complete it, he will owe huge debts and can only sell his property to pay off his debts.

In fact, Chen Xing had been staring at Masike. The moment he saw his panic expression, he finally felt a lot better.

When he came to Longxing Group to cause trouble on behalf of the Ansa Military-Industrial Complex, he silently remembered this grudge. Now the time for revenge has come. He not only wants to destroy Tesla, but also destroy all of Masick's industries!

……

And on the other side.

Dragon Kingdom Treasure Island.

In a meeting room at a mountain resort, Wang Shan looked at the test screen on the display and said inwardly, "Great, great, great! I didn't expect that unmanned intelligent driving has really been realized. This is an extra bargaining chip for me in negotiations."

Although he was ecstatic in his heart, he remained calm on the surface. He looked at the sixty-year-old man in front of him, drank a sip of tea and said:
"Director Ma, you have seen that we are sincere. Not only did we get Nvidia back, but now Longxing Group is willing to act as an economic pioneer. If the three stock markets merge, it will only benefit us, not harm us."

Ma Zhengliang watched the live broadcast of the Linghang 001 press conference, his brain working rapidly, weighing the pros and cons.

If time goes back three years, he would definitely not agree to Wang Shan's request to merge Formosa Weighted Index with Hong Kong Hang Seng Index and mainland Shanghai Stock Exchange Index.

The reason is very simple. Three years ago, the technology leaders were Silicon Valley companies in the United States.

But now things are different. Longxing Group, Kunpeng, Alibaba, Penguin, Xinjiang Technology, Qihoo Technology, and ByteDance have become benchmarks for technology companies around the world, especially Longxing Group, which is a well-deserved leader.

Once the "Stock Market Integration Plan" proposed by Wang Shan is actually implemented and these technology companies take the lead, it may really drain the international investment funds of Silicon Valley technology companies.

The Nasdaq bull market of US stocks for more than a decade has been supported by the "Seven Sisters". Now the Seven Sisters are being tortured by the Longxing Group and are in agony. Ma Zhengliang is also trying his best to weigh the pros and cons.

After thinking for a long time, he finally asked the most concerned question: "If we agree to the stock market integration plan, how will you deal with TSMC, UMC, Foxconn, and MediaTek?"

TSMC, UMC, and Foxconn all have close ties with the United States, and their major shareholders also include Belle Group and Vanguard Group.

The most crucial thing is that the first two chip foundries still use lithography machines assembled and produced by the Dutch ASML company. They are afraid that if they participate in the "Stock Market Integration Plan", the United States will directly cut off their access to the lithography machines.

The West has the ability to remotely shut down high-end equipment and software such as lithography machines, high-precision machine tools, EDA chip design software, and operating systems. Especially for lithography machines and high-precision machine tools, if you move them, they will be locked and there will be no way to continue using them.

"If they are sanctioned for this, we will provide corresponding technical support."

Wang Shan made a guarantee that what he had to do now was to do his best to disintegrate the left and right arms of the United States and then suck it dry.

"Photolithography factory?"

Ma Zhengliang narrowed his eyes and asked.

"I can go to Longxing Group to act as a lobbyist." Wang Shan did not give a definite answer, but he expressed his attitude.

He knew very well what Chen Xing was thinking, which was to form a national united front and overthrow the economic hegemony system established with the US dollar.

If TSMC "turns against" China, the United States' chip foundry orders will be in trouble.

You should know that the reason why TSMC can get 67% of the global chip orders except for the Chinese market is largely because its chip production technology is extremely mature.

Qualcomm once thought about abandoning TSMC and embracing Hanxing Group's chip foundry, but the yield rate of less than 60% gave Qualcomm a severe wake-up call.

Currently, the world's six largest chip foundries are TSMC, UMC, GlobalFoundries, Hanxing Group, Loongson International and Longxing Group. Among them, Loongson International and Longxing Group are the two largest, while the first four chip foundries are slightly inferior. The reason is that they use the most advanced lithography technology.

"Why don't we wait until there is a result, then we can sit down and talk slowly." Ma Zhengliang was still thinking about pulling the strings and gaining the greatest benefits for his own company.

But the next second, Wang Shan was not tolerant anymore, his eyes widened with anger, and he said in a deep voice: "We can't talk slowly. If you don't join the "Stock Market Integration Plan", then we will have a price war. Whoever destroys the other's company will listen to him."

"..."

Ma Zhengliang was silent.

Wang Shan is still as irritable as ever, even though he is over seventy years old.

He has every reason to believe that Longxing Group can defeat TSMC, UMC, MediaTek and Foxconn. The reason he did not take action is because he has concerns about his own brothers.

The hard part has been done, and the soft part should also come into play. Wang Shan restrained his expression and softened his tone as he said, "Our ancestors have been the center of the world for thousands of years. Don't you want to restore the former glory?"

"this…"

Ma Zhengliang is still weighing the pros and cons.

In fact, he also wants to integrate the stock markets and build Longguo into a world financial center, so that people from all over the world will come to Longguo to invest. In this way, there will be no need to fear the harvesting of US dollars.

But he was wondering, can he really overthrow the hegemony established by the US dollar?

Having been the "world boss" for nearly a hundred years, he really couldn't figure out the strength of the United States and was afraid of standing on the wrong side.

"Hesitation means rejection. You should inform TSMC and UMC. Longxing Group and Loongson International will manufacture chips at half the price, including 7 nanometers and below."

Wang Shan stood up and thought about leaving.

At this time, Ma Zhengliang realized that he could not remain neutral, as this would offend both sides, so he said with a ruthless heart: "Okay, I hope we can revive the Dragon Kingdom."

"That's right."

Wang Shan smiled, took something out of his pocket and put it on the tea table, saying, "I came in a hurry and didn't bring you any gifts. I'll make it up to you next time."

"You are still talking to me..." Ma Zhengliang was about to say something, but when he saw the items on the table, he was stunned for half a second, then looked up at Wang Shan's bright eyes and said in a deep voice: "Danggui..."

……

Shenzhen International Racing Circuit.

The photographer was riding in the Pilot 001, which was changing lanes back and forth on the racing track, constantly overtaking vehicles, with driving skills comparable to those of an experienced driver.

"I rely on!"

"I rely on!"

"I rely on!"

Photographers frequently take pictures of the national treasure.

For someone who can't drive, unmanned autonomous driving is simply good news, as there is no need to learn how to drive anymore.

When Pilot 001 returned to the finish line, Chen Xing had already come to the track to greet him.

The car stopped, he opened the door and asked the photographer: "How is it, what is it like to drive without a driver?"

"Two words: awesome!"

The photographer gave a thumbs-up in approval.

No one expected that the Pioneer 001 car would be the first in the world to release L3 level autonomous driving technology.

On the other side of the ocean, in the United States, the Anglo-Saxon military-industrial complex has become restless and has gradually developed differences of opinion.

Cars represent the level of industry, so what level do driverless cars represent?
Since we can realize driverless cars, can we also realize driverless tanks, driverless warships, and even driverless fighter jets?
Perhaps many people do not understand the value of "unmanned". You must know that when war comes, weapons and armaments are not the most scarce, but talents in the corresponding fields are the most important.

For example, the cost of training a qualified fighter pilot is conservatively estimated at 2500 million Dragon Country coins. If there are no pilots, how can fighter planes take off to fight the enemy?

But now...

The concept of unmanned operation emerges…

Just imagine that tens of thousands of unmanned bombers bombard the corresponding targets according to intelligent programs. How doomsday this scene would be.

The emergence of the concept of driverless cars has caused some internal forces within the Ansa military-industrial complex to change their minds.

Not only the Ansa military-industrial complex, but also the Jewish consortium composed of Jewish families are now examining the unmanned autonomous driving in front of them.

Although there is already a set of evaluation standards for autonomous driving, no company has truly achieved driving levels above L2.

Chen Xing looked at the photographer's thumbs up and smiled, "Being far ahead is not just a slogan. We still have the most important test."

"besides?"

The photographer was stunned.

Just when he thought Chen Xing would ask him to take part in the test again, Chen Xing looked to the side and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Zhang."

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at the middle-aged man in his forties who was operating the electric wheelchair and slowly approaching.

"What...what do you want to do?"

"Both legs are amputated and he has one arm. Mr. Chen wouldn't want him to drive, would he?"

"This kind of disabled person may not even be allowed to take a disabled driver's license. Don't tell me he is allowed to drive on the road!"

“Is it purely relying on autonomous driving?”

"No, I checked and found that L3 level cannot completely replace human labor. Manual control of the car is still required on particularly complex roads."

Uncle Zhang's appearance not only surprised the CEOs of the car companies, but also caused tens of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room to talk about it.

There are examples of amputees driving cars, but they are extremely rare, probably no more than 100 in the entire country.

"Mr. Chen."

Uncle Zhang greeted him.

"Yes." Chen Xing nodded in response, and then faced the puzzled eyes of the audience, smiled calmly and said: "I said at the annual meeting last year that technology should not be high and mighty, but should serve ordinary people, create convenience for them, and change their daily lives."

“Although today is a car launch event, I still want to announce here that the brain-computer interface 2.0 jointly developed by Longxing Group and WuXi Group will support the connection of all smart products under Longxing Group, including connecting and driving the Pilot 001 car.”
