Technology company, I will become the light of China!

"Holy crap, a disabled person with only one arm and no legs can actually control a car with a brain-computer interface? This is a bit too amazing!"

"Technology has changed our lives in a concrete way. This is the meaning of the existence of technology companies!"

"My uncle is a disabled person. He broke his hand while working in a factory a few years ago. His entire right palm is gone. Now he can only support himself by doing odd jobs. If he could drive, maybe he could support himself by driving an online ride-hailing car."

"Mr. Chen is righteous!"

“This is the meaning of developing technology!”

As soon as the news that the brain-computer interface can connect and drive the Pilot 001 car came out, almost the entire Internet went wild.

Perhaps many people do not understand why official statistics show that there are tens of millions of disabled people, but they are rarely seen in daily life. This actually involves a problem of self-esteem.

Healthy people don’t want to go out if they get their hair cut into a bowl-cut style, let alone disabled people who have permanent disabilities?

Coupled with the difficulty in finding jobs and the lack of stable income, the disabled group can basically only return to their rural hometowns and live on relief funds issued by the state.

This is why you rarely see disabled people in the glamorous big cities. Even if you go to the countryside, they will stay at home and rarely go out.

"Disabled people, brain-computer interface, and the Pilot 001 car, this is a ace in the hole." BYD CEO Wang Fu narrowed his eyes.

Although the Dragon Kingdom has not yet updated to the "magic duel" version, no matter which country it is, people tend to sympathize with the disadvantaged groups.

Why are fake charity influencers so popular?
Help the disadvantaged.

For most internet celebrities and stars, the first thing they do after noticing a decline in their traffic is not to improve themselves or the quality of their works, but to do charity activities and then buy a lot of traffic to keep their online careers hot.

Anyone who has studied photography knows that the first lesson is "Reject camera bullying and don't point the camera at vulnerable groups", but many photographers have forgotten this because photographing vulnerable groups often attracts the most traffic.

“I didn’t expect there was this trump card…” Zeng Hong, CEO of GAC Group, was convinced. He had never considered the disadvantaged groups, and the company’s conditions did not allow him to consider it. After all, not everyone has the technical reserves of Longxing Group.

"Far ahead..."

BMW Group CEO Nagel muttered to himself in broken Chinese. Today he finally understood what technological development meant.

You think that automobile development is ultimate power performance, comfortable interior environment, and safe body beams. In fact, there is another kind of development in the automotive field, which is to take care of vulnerable groups.

Olaf Reiter, CEO of Mercedes-Benz Group, who has been influenced by Western culture for half his life, couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Chen Xing at this moment. If this were placed in the Western market, the Pilot 001 would have basically sold out.

However, the CEOs of the island nation's car companies were worried, as the leading automobile jointly owned by Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Dami Company was far more difficult than they had imagined.

While the CEOs in the stands were thinking about their own things, Chen Xing poured cold words on the entire network: "Here, I have to explain in advance that although our brain-computer interface 2.0 can connect to the pilot car, it cannot be driven for a long time."

"This is because the brain-computer interface consumes internal energy to read and transmit neuronal information. We recommend using it in conjunction with L3 autonomous driving. In situations where the vehicle cannot pass through, such as in a narrow underground parking lot or in areas with poor network signals, consider using the brain-computer interface to take over driving."

"In addition." Suddenly, Chen Xing emphasized his tone and said while looking into the camera: "We plan to launch a more intelligent L4 autonomous driving system within three months. We hope that the advancement of technology can change the lives of everyone of us."

"hiss!"

"Clap clap-"

Some people at the scene were amazed by the L4 autonomous driving, but more viewers were moved by Chen Xing’s last words, “I hope that the advancement of technology can change the lives of each and every one of us,” and they all offered their applause.

"Words are not enough. Let Uncle Zhang drive the pilot car and we'll hear his feelings later." Chen Xing took a step to the side.

"Thank you Mr. Chen for giving me this opportunity." Uncle Zhang controlled his electric wheelchair remotely and came to the pilot car.

next second.

A magical scene happened.

When Uncle Zhang reached the car door, the driver's door opened automatically and the chassis height of the car body was visibly lowered.

"We have taken into account the various inconveniences of the disabled and have made in-depth optimizations. After the brain-computer interface is bound to the Pilot 001 vehicle, when the owner approaches, it will automatically open the door and lower the chassis height to facilitate getting in the car. When the owner leaves, it will also automatically lock the car."

Chen Xing was explaining on the side, but he had no intention of going forward to help, because if someone needed help to get on the car, it would be a joke for a disabled group to drive the Pilot 001.

Uncle Zhang came to the main cab. Due to the lowered chassis, the height of the wheelchair cushion was slightly higher than the seat. He grabbed the force point of the chair with his left hand, easily came to the driving seat of Linghang 001, and then adjusted his sitting posture.

"Clap clap-"

The audience burst into applause.

If a severely amputee like Uncle Zhang can drive one, then it goes without saying for the disabled group who are missing an arm or a leg.

"Xiaolong, Xiaolong." Uncle Zhang fastened his seat belt and looked at the center console.

【I am here. 】

“Enter accessible driving mode.”

[You have entered barrier-free driving mode and are connecting to the safety center. Your travel safety will be protected. ]

When the intelligent driving assistant finished speaking, Chen Xing explained again:

"The barrier-free safety center is specially configured by our group for novices and people with disabilities. When any emergency situation is detected, our intelligent driving system will intervene first. If it cannot be resolved, the driver at the remote control center will take over the driving to ensure the safety of the car owner."

As he spoke, the LED screen also showed images of remote driving masters, who were sitting in the computer cabin, waiting to intervene in driving at any time.

Uncle Zhang already knew this in advance, but he still controlled the vehicle with voice control.

"Close the door."

【The car door is closed.】

"Start the vehicle."

[The vehicle has started, please state your destination. ]

"Go around Route 1 of the Shenzhen International Speed ​​Racing Circuit, connect the brain-computer interface, and I will drive the vehicle myself."

【OK, connected. 】

Under everyone's gaze, the forward gear was automatically engaged and the vehicle of Pilot 001 began to turn slowly. Uncle Zhang was concentrating and his whole body was extremely focused.

10 yards.

20 yards.

30 yards.

The speed of the car is getting faster and faster.

The photographer in the back seat didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of disturbing Uncle Zhang's driving.

After driving smoothly for about 5 minutes, Uncle Zhang suddenly said, "Xiaolong, take over the driving."

【Taking over...】

【Takeover successful, destination, Route 1 around Shenzhen International Speed ​​Racing Circuit. 】

After hearing the prompt tone, Uncle Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I personally feel that the driving experience is still very good, but driving requires special concentration, and after a long time, the brain-computer interface in the head will also heat up."

After talking about the shortcomings, he changed the subject and praised: "These shortcomings are not shortcomings to me, because being able to drive again is the biggest help to my life."

The moment he finished speaking, the audience in the finish line stands and the audience in the live broadcast room looked at Uncle Zhang with tears in his eyes and gave him applause.

"Technology changes our lives. This is not just talk. I can only say that Longxing Group is awesome and Mr. Chen is awesome!"

"Perhaps many people do not understand why just driving a car can make the disabled community burst into tears and be deeply moved. Let me put it this way, when you have experienced being marginalized by society, you will understand the excitement of embracing society."

"As an amputee, I understand this feeling because I used to be a freight driver. I overturned my truck because I was trying to avoid a car going the other way. Now my lower body is amputated and I only have my hands. If I could drive again, I would probably drive a taxi and change my life."

"I never thought that people like us who are on the margins of society would be illuminated by the sunshine of science and technology one day. Mr. Chen, you are truly our reborn parent and lifesaver!"

As Uncle Zhang's test was successful, more and more disabled people began to speak. Those who were behind the screen had already been in tears and were deeply moved.

They never expected that a group like them with no "oil and water" to be exploited would be considered by Chen Xing in the car manufacturing plan.

And at the same time.

the other side.

Imperial Capital, Mutual Aid Association for the Disabled.

When President Li Shuyuan saw the brain-computer interface successfully start Pilot 001, he couldn't help but applaud and said, "This is technology. This is the technology that humans should develop!"

As the president of a mutual aid association for the disabled, he has seen too many tragic cases.

Sometimes just a car accident can destroy two families.

In the adult world, money is the most basic thing, and what the disabled community lacks most is money because they cannot find jobs.

Even if you have both hands and are capable of doing assembly line work in some factories, people with tattoos, disabilities or diseases are often excluded in order to standardize management.

Without any hesitation, Li Shuyuan immediately shared the link of Longxing Group's live broadcast room to various groups he created.

For a while.

The news keeps coming.

[Zhang Yuan]: “I just watched this live broadcast, and it seems that brain-computer interfaces can help us regain the ability to drive!”

[Chen Shaoyi]: "So that means I can be a taxi driver?"

[Feng Hao]: "Forget taxiing. You can also make money by hauling goods, but I don't know how much the brain-computer interface and the Pilot 001 will cost. If they are expensive, I can only wait for the replacement version."

[Xuanyduo]: "No matter what, we now see hope. Who knows, in the future, Longxing Group will be able to develop intelligent prosthetic limbs, allowing us to become healthy again!"

Using brain-computer interface to drive a car may be a very small step, but it gives countless disabled people hope of recovery.

After all, in science fiction movies, especially future cyberpunk movies, intelligent prosthetics are very common. If development continues at this rate, who can guarantee that Longxing Group will not become the driving force that changes history?

Li Shuyuan looked at the messages in the group. He knew very well what he, as the president, should do for these disabled people.

Without any hesitation, he immediately booked a flight to Shenzhen.

……

Across the ocean.

Washington, USA.

Renato Marotta felt a little suffocated when watching the live broadcast. He never expected that Longxing Group could play such a card.

You must know that in Western society, the disadvantaged groups are the "high caste people", and countless small groups in the society will fight for their interests.

Now, Brain-Computer Interface 2.0 can actually connect and drive all electronic smart products under Longxing Group, including pilot cars. If this problem cannot be properly solved, it may trigger a new round of smuggling wave.

"It's really tricky." Renato Marotta took a sip of coffee and frowned. Not only did he find it difficult to handle, but the families of the Jewish and Anza consortiums also found it very difficult to handle. If things went wrong, it might really cause economic turmoil in the United States.

Why is it said to cause economic turmoil?
Because the items are smuggled into the country, they do not need to pay taxes to the United States, and most importantly, the American people will buy them at a premium.

Open the door?

Longxing Group will have a smooth journey.

Continue to close the door?

That "backpacker" will teach a lesson.

It is no exaggeration to say that the top US officials are in a bit of a dilemma at the moment and don't know how to deal with the next impact.

Of course.

If we were to count the companies that were most impacted, it would definitely be Tesla.

As a company specializing in the manufacture of electric vehicles, now a Cheng Yaojin has emerged. No one knows what he is thinking or how he feels, except Masick himself.

“Vulnerable groups…”

“Vulnerable groups…”

Marsik narrowed his eyes.

He seemed to vaguely understand why Chen Xing wanted to develop brain-computer interface and make it the Internet of Everything.

"How are you? Are you okay?" Audi Group CEO Dussmei looked at the dull Masik and asked in a friendly manner.

Upon hearing this, Masike looked at Dusmai and said with a forced smile: "It's okay, I just underestimated Chen Xing's ambition."

"Underestimating him?"

Dusmai was a little confused.

Honda Group CEO Kazuki Otaki and Toyota Group CEO Takahiro Saikawa both pricked up their ears, trying to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two.

"Ugh!"

Masik sighed, looked at the figure on the podium and said, "The disadvantaged groups. He wants to use the disadvantaged groups as a stepping stone to open the door to the world market."

"!!!"

"!!!"

The moment the words fell, the CEOs of the car companies were all shocked, then they quickly reacted and woke up.

Once the Linghang 001 car becomes popular among disadvantaged groups, national borders will no longer be restriction lines. If you target them, the first ones to object will be the disadvantaged groups in your own country.

"That is to say, his goal has never been just Longguo or the Southeast Asian market, but the whole world." Dusmai also narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "However, according to the current test results of the Pilot 001, it may really be able to fight its way out and have a place."

"A place for..."

Honda Group President Otaki Kazuki looked grim. Now he understood why Longguo let them go.

While talking with the CEO of the foreign company, Uncle Zhang was driving the Pilot 001 back to the finish line, and when it was about to arrive, he also imitated Chen Xing and did a drift parking. It was hard to imagine that this was a vehicle driven by a highly amputee.

"Clap clap-"

Chen Xing personally applauded and praised: "Great driving skills, Uncle Zhang, great driving skills. How is it? Is our Pilot 001 okay?"

"Excellent."

Uncle Zhang opened the car door and gave a thumbs up.

"After driving for a while, do you think there is room for improvement?" Chen Xing asked.

"After using it for a long time, I feel very tired mentally. It may be because of the brain control. Besides, the brain-computer interface will also heat up."

Uncle Zhang gave serious suggestions.

Chen Xing took note of it silently and responded with a smile: "We will continue to improve it in the future to ensure that special groups can also drive pilot cars."

Just after he finished speaking, he thanked again: "Thank you Uncle Zhang for being willing to appear in our vehicle test. Thank you very much. Now let's get back to the topic and announce the issue that everyone is most concerned about, which is the range."

The sound is transmitted throughout the entire network through the microphone next to the ear.

All of a sudden.

Countless audiences were talking about it.

"Finally here, keep going!"

"If it's over 800 kilometers, I'll buy it directly!"

"Don't even mention 800. If a car this smart has a range of 600 kilometers, I will buy one without hesitation. I will also buy one for my wife so that she can say goodbye to road killers!"

"600? I'll buy it for 500! But the prerequisite is that it can't exceed 30."

"Compared to the battery life, I am more concerned about whether it is a solid-state battery. Mr. Chen said last time that there are solid-state batteries!"

As the live broadcast room was filled with comments, the car company CEOs in the stands all sat up straight, not daring to miss any information.

The three most important things for a car are battery life, safety and price.

As for safety, we have already mentioned that the car body steel structure has a strength of 2000 MPa and is designed to save your life in case of wheel loss, which has already met the expectations of most people.

Now that safety is assured, battery life and price become the key factors in measuring the comprehensive index of Linghang 001.

Chen Xing returned to the podium, pressed the remote control in his hand and said, "Speaking of battery life, I have to first introduce the polymer semi-solid battery and sulfide all-solid battery developed by our Longxing Group."

"Polymer, sulfide." Zeng Yu, CEO of CATL, subconsciously held his breath, waiting for Chen Xing to continue.

Perhaps many people have not heard of CATL, but it is currently a leader in the field of lithium-ion and lithium-polymer batteries.

Although it has been established for less than six years, as domestic car companies gradually embrace electric vehicles, CATL, as a leader in the lithium battery industry, has also grown stronger.

In addition to the surge in order volume, there is also a surge in troubles.

In fact, Zeng Yu has always wanted to know whether Chen Xing lied at the "Underworld Press Conference" and whether Longxing Group really has solid-state batteries. Even if he knew just a little bit of information, Chen Xing did a great job of keeping secrets. He inquired through various channels but couldn't find any clues.

But now...

He finally knew.

"Sulfide solid-state batteries are actually sulfides. How did Longxing Group solve the moisture problem?" Zeng Yu couldn't help but wonder.

Sulfides are notoriously sensitive to humid environments, and since it is impossible for cars to completely avoid humid environments, he didn't think about sulfides at all.

Not only Zeng Yu didn't expect it, Wang Fu didn't expect it, and Masike didn't expect it even more.

"Sulfide..."

“It’s actually sulfide!”

The CEOs of the car companies were all surprised. This was a material they had never expected. And the most important thing now was that if someone dared to tell you what the solid-state battery was, it meant that Longxing Group really had sulfide solid-state batteries.

this moment.

Everyone was concentrating and waiting for what was to come.

Chen Xing leaned sideways and glanced at the LED screen behind him. A parameter table of two energy storage batteries had already appeared on it, but the table contained no parameter content except for the names.

"We will be the first to reveal the performance parameters of polymer semi-solid batteries, which will be used in our standard version of the Linghang 001."

Chen Xing pressed a button and the parameters of the polymer semi-solid battery appeared.

Battery capacity: 120 degrees.

Energy density: 255Wh/kg.

Charging power: Peak current is 700A+, peak charging power is 520kW.

Maximum discharge power: 4.3kW.

Temperature pipe system: liquid cooling.

When the parameters of the polymer semi-solid battery appeared, Masik rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong.

The battery capacity is 120 degrees, he endured it, and it can be achieved.

He also tolerated the energy density of 255Wh/kg because it was also achievable.

But your peak charging current is 700A+, and the peak power exceeds 520kW. Are you serious?
"I didn't see it wrong, did the person who made the PPT write the peak charging power of 520kW wrong?" Wang Fu looked at Lei Jun and Ren Guofei, wanting to verify this matter.

520kW peak charging, let alone Wang Fu, even Zeng Yu, the CEO of CATL, has never seen such a terrifying thing!
"We are not sure about this either, because energy batteries are Longxing Group's unique technology and they are the technology provider."

Rebus responded.

Ren Guofei nodded slightly and agreed: "Such a low-level mistake should not happen, and pay attention to the word peak. It is not always 520kW, it may just reach this power at a certain point in time."

"this…"

Wang Fu was speechless.

Of course he knew it wouldn't always be 520kW, but as long as it reached this value, it would be very, very, very abnormal!

What does 520kW mean?
BYD's electric car has a lithium battery charging power of 12kW, and this is the maximum power. Others' power is more than 40 times higher. How can you play with it?

Charge for ten minutes and drive thousands of miles?

"I'm back. The familiar feeling is back." Luo Hao swallowed, as if he recalled something horrible.

"Yes, that summer!"

Duan Yongping also swallowed his saliva and recalled the past.

"What's coming back?" A boss saw the uneasy looks of the two people and asked hurriedly.

"In the summer of 2014, the charging power of mobile phones around the world was generally 10W, but that man took his Longxing X1 and directly increased the charging power to 120W. The large number of achievements in the fields of semiconductor chips and information communications made us subconsciously ignore the strengths of Longxing Group..."

Duan Yongping lowered his voice and his breathing became rapid.

"Yes." Luo Hao looked at him, then looked straight at Chen Xing on the podium and said:
"Xingshan fast charging and lithium battery heat dissipation are the foundation of Longxing Group and have always been its super strengths!"
