Reinforcement Panel: Tech Wars

Chapter 59

After 10 o'clock, after exploring the vastness and magnificence of the ocean, Wei Jiang made another long phone call. Then he put away his phone, yawned, and went back to his room to rest.

It was a great pleasure to unexpectedly come across a huge flat-top ship tonight.

Wei Jiang believes that the photos in the album will definitely make military fans around the world jealous and envious.

The next morning after breakfast, Wei Jiang and his father set out to leave Suzhou.

The journey continues, and the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland are waiting for them to explore and visit.

Compared with Wei Jiang's comfort, busyness and pressure are becoming the main theme of many people's lives.

"Several major automakers have decided to completely withdraw from the Tokyo market in the next six months."

"After urgent consultation, a large Western group decided to impose a 100% tariff on Todai Auto."

"In view of the huge market competition pressure in Dongda, Volkswagen decided to withdraw from Dongda"

In just one week, due to the key technological breakthroughs of two automobile manufacturers from Dongda University, other parties were forced to respond in a very short period of time.

Among them, the reactions from several major automobile countries were the most intense.

From top to bottom, whether it is the media or industry practitioners, overseas blocks quickly formed a boycott alliance against the Dongda Auto brand.

The confrontation between the new and old forces in the automotive industry quickly formed within a week.

The Dongda Auto Market, which was once considered by major international auto brands to be the birthplace of sweet honey, now is considered by these automakers to be more like the source of terrifying nightmares.

Compared with losing the Dongda market, they are now more worried about Dongda's automobile brands invading their hometown.

This boycott directly affects the overseas expansion strategy of major Dongda car companies.

The technological war in the automotive industry has officially begun.

Unlike people working in the automotive industry, the people of Dongda University feel completely different.

As the cost of electric vehicles decreases, the appeal of autonomous driving technology is spreading rapidly.

This week, perhaps stimulated by the market feedback after the launch of Huawei Zhixing ADS3.0, other automakers in Dongda released the development progress of their own autonomous driving services in various ways.

"Xpeng announced that XNGP autonomous driving will reach L3 level by the end of the year"

"Lixiang's president released a Weibo post confirming that a new version of AD Pro is being developed in November, and its autonomous driving capabilities are not inferior to Huawei ADS."

"BYD's autonomous driving service will be launched in October"

"DJI's autonomous driving technology has been greatly upgraded and is now recruiting global partners"

In the eyes of consumers, it seems that Huawei Zhixing ADS has opened the way, and domestic autonomous driving technology as a whole has entered an era of explosive growth!

“Is the era of autonomous driving coming?”

Such discussions are everywhere on the Internet at Dongda University. As long as you open your phone, you can see people discussing autonomous driving in any app.

In addition to the discussion on autonomous driving, Wei Jiang also paid attention to the large number of guiding opinions issued by relevant departments.

「Application process for L3 autonomous driving license」

"Guidance on unified pricing for autonomous driving services"

"Strategies and opinions on liability determination in road traffic autonomous driving accidents"

In order to welcome the arrival of the explosive growth of autonomous driving technology, the relevant management departments have obviously been working overtime without rest in the past week.

When a technology that truly changes people's lives is actually implemented, it will inevitably impact the old social living habits, and management methods must be prepared in advance.

In addition to news related to autonomous driving, Wei Jiang also paid attention to other news that he thought had far-reaching impact.

"Accelerate the promotion of green energy layout"

"BYD has reached a new battery industry cooperation agreement with Qin Province, investing 50 billion to build a new lithium battery factory with an annual output of 50GWh"

"BYD announced that it will accelerate the development of the energy storage industry, and the prices of the company's energy storage system products BYD Cube and MC-I have been reduced." When Wei Jiang saw the news, he understood that because of the lithium crystal cluster reduction technology, the value of lithium batteries was raised again.

With lithium crystal cluster reduction technology, as long as the lithium battery cell is not physically damaged, a cell can be reused many times.

The service life of battery cells is directly extended several times, approaching 20 years, which greatly reduces the battery maintenance cost.

That is to say, even if future battery technology advances are limited, lithium batteries are already sufficient to become a core product that truly changes the energy industry.

Inside the 50's mini car, Wei Yonghe watched Wei Jiang answer a call with his cell phone. Wei Jiang just hummed a few times and hung up.

This may seem like nothing, but Wei Jiang has been receiving similar calls frequently in recent days. When answering these calls, Wei Jiang mostly just responds with "hmm".

"I've never seen you get so many calls before. Why are you getting so many calls these days?"

"Can't you allow me to have friends? Dad, are you still in charge of this?"

Wei Jiang smiled and did not directly answer his father's question. Instead, he asked Wei Yonghe.

"I've never seen anyone answer the phone with just a "hmm"."

"Tell me the truth, what the hell are you doing?"

Wei Yonghe obviously didn't intend to let Wei Jiang go easily.

Decades of life experience told him that Wei Jiang was definitely doing something behind his back.

Facing his father's question, Wei Jiang looked at the bridge ahead, shook his head and said:

"We are together 24 hours a day, what secrets can I have?"

"Dad, you've been a little suspicious lately."

"Don't be suspicious. We'll be in Zhoushan soon. Think about what kind of seafood you want to eat."

The more Wei Jiang did this, the more Wei Yonghe felt that Wei Jiang was hiding something.

Seeing that Wei Jiang was not going to confess, Wei Yonghe did not ask any further questions, but he kept this suspicion in his heart.

Wei Jiang glanced at his father who was still thinking, with a calm expression.

The two of them live together every day, and it is really not easy to hide something from their father.

He did have something hidden from his father, and he had discussed it with his father before, but his father did not agree at that time.

It's just that I have money and want to rebuild the house.

One of the several purposes of this trip was to clear out the house for the construction team to move in.

Before setting off, he had already contacted a professional designer and construction party, and entrusted the demolition and reconstruction of the courtyard to the designer's studio.

With billions of wealth in his hands, Wei Jiang is not worried about the construction quality.

As long as he is willing to spend money, Wei Jiang doesn't believe that the construction quality of the courtyard will be poor.

If there really is a problem, Wei Jiang is willing to spend money on lawyers to get the construction party to redo the work.

At around 2 pm, Wei Jiang and his father's trip to Zhoushan officially began.

In addition to coming here to eat seafood and enjoy the sea view, Wei Jiang certainly had other purposes for coming here.

After playing for an afternoon and having a seafood dinner, Wei Jiang left the hotel alone in the evening after saying goodbye to his father.

Instead of driving, Wei Jiang walked to the beach.

Since the manta ray entered the sea, he has never manually driven the manta ray to swim in the sea.

When manta rays are remotely controlled using a mobile phone, they can only move near the coast due to communication problems.

His goal tonight is to explore the open sea!
Full speed of 40 knots!

Go racing in the sea!
