From knock-off old-man's electric vehicles to industrial giant

Chapter 292 The Stars Are Still in C!
"For scenarios where the vehicle goes uphill empty and comes downhill heavily loaded, we can keep running, keep running, and keep having power!"

"If it's a mine pit, it would take about ten round trips, but it can still contribute to green mining projects."

Zhu Yanfeng boasted for a while.

I'm so glad that we partnered with Starry Sky to be the first to release this industry-changing product.

And then they didn't play word games.

There are many mining sites across the country, and almost all the stone used in construction comes from mines, which need to be transported from mountainous areas to plains.

To be honest...

The "K105E" jointly created with Starry Sky is absolutely amazing!

In certain scenarios, it is virtually invincible.

If the scene were set in a mine or a plain, it would indeed be impossible to achieve the incredible feats of "perpetual motion machine" and "electricity meter reversal," as the applicable environment would not be as wide.

However, in an industrial setting, it is still a remarkable achievement.

This new energy mining truck can truly be put into practical application and replace a portion of the diesel mining truck's niche.

It's not in the same league as the fraudulent subsidy products and immature new energy trucks on the market.

Yes.

Dongfeng Motor Group did it!
They actually did it!!

We have truly produced an industrial-grade pure electric special dump truck, achieving a breakthrough from 0 to 1!
Although... it was the power of the stars that was used.

But the "perpetual motion mining card" is ridiculous.

Zhu Yanfeng decided to postpone the installation until next year.

Given that there isn't a single genuine pure electric dump truck in China right now, they've managed to produce one and put it into use.

It's already way ahead of its competitors!
Equipped with 300kW dual-gun fast charging, even self-built supercharging stations can generate economic benefits.

……

The mining company representatives present were deeply moved!

Soon, someone stood up and asked about safety and on-site reliability.

They are very concerned about this.

Domestic mining groups are large and cannot immediately purchase equipment based on a single demonstration.

But now this desire to buy has been aroused.

Many places have preferential policies to support local license plates this year.

It has received an environmental protection acceptance score.

Their spots are still vacant.

If this new energy heavy truck can be put into practical use, it will provide lower operating and maintenance costs than diesel heavy trucks.

It's a certainty that it will be included in the next fiscal year's procurement plan.

The Star Team participated in the demonstration as a partner.

After the formal filming work was completed.

The media reporters present seemed very interested in Mr. Xu.

"Mr. Xu, it's a pleasure to interview you. Is Xingchen planning to expand into the specialized industry?" Xinhua News Agency reporter Mei Junhui asked with curiosity.

There are endless topics in the news about Xingchen, this technology company.

It not only occupies a leading position in the new energy sector, but its business scope is also astonishing. Just a few days ago, news broke that it was going to enter the mobile phone industry, and today it made its debut at the Dongfeng Special Vehicles press conference.

"This is a good question, but in my opinion, it's not about crossing boundaries. As a fellow company, we provide Dongfeng with technical support in the three key areas of electric drive, battery, and motor systems. We just happened to find the right application scenario, which allowed the product to be successfully implemented." Xu Yi pointed to the names of both groups on the banner, explaining Xingchen's position as a technology solution provider.

In the field of industrial heavy trucks, foreign technology is actually quite advanced.

Especially for large machinery weighing over 200 tons, those industrial behemoths, China is still imitating and catching up, and is considered to be lagging behind.

However, new energy heavy trucks and large machinery represent a new market segment.

Large heavy trucks and mechanical equipment also rely on the super torque of electric motors for power. Whether it is range extension, battery swapping, or charging, they will eventually move towards the field of electric drive, battery, and motor systems.

Now that we're here, this is Xingchen's comfort zone.

"If we have to put it that way—we're not exactly crossing over into another industry, we're just battery movers." Xu Yi chuckled and pointed to the massive battery compartment on the back of the heavy truck's cab on the demonstration screen, a symbol of Polestar batteries' widespread recognition.

Batteries are Xingchen Group's second most profitable business.

The profits from supplying external customers are even higher than those from manufacturing new energy vehicles.

The key is selling batteries; no marketing is needed.

This thing is a case of "you get what you pay for" when you look at the specifications.

If you meet the requirements and your performance meets the standards, you'll be a top performer, and buyers will proactively approach you to reserve production capacity.

This applies to mobile phone manufacturers, car manufacturers, and industrial equipment manufacturers alike; all rely on excellent power batteries.

Having already signed orders worth billions with mobile phone manufacturers, Dongfeng has now agreed to reserve 2 GWh of battery capacity for the production of new mining trucks, which is very good news for Xingchen.

"Mr. Xu is so modest, he actually calls himself a mover..."

Online, everyone's saying that Xingchen is the number one in the new energy vehicle sector, the only god in the industry!

Mei Junhui was all smiles and enthusiasm.

Their media outlets often pay attention to trending online terms and create buzz around them with entrepreneurs.

"No, no, that title is too scary. Let's talk about the actual technology and applications instead."

In front of the media.

Xu Yi rarely showed a hint of panic.
They avoided the question, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Emergency evacuation required!

joke.

The term "deification" is quite frightening. Generally, few companies or entrepreneurs who are deified end up with a good fate.

If you really believe it.

Whether he can ultimately become a god... is hard to say.

But it's definitely far removed from normal human beings.

……

Under deliberate publicity.

The term "Dongfeng brand perpetual motion mining truck" quickly became a hot topic in media reports.

However, since heavy industry and mining are too far removed from the lives of ordinary people, it is difficult for a new type of pure electric heavy truck to attract people's attention.

Nobody pays attention to what new vehicles and equipment have been produced at the mine.

This is even less discussed than the electric scooter discussion.

but.

There are always exceptions.

Half a day later, the topic of Dongfeng brand "perpetual motion mining truck" suddenly became a trending topic.

"What? A mining card that doesn't use electricity for mining?"

Which graphics card manufacturer is Dongfeng?

"Isn't Dongfeng a car manufacturer? Are domestic car manufacturers going to make a push into the GPU industry?"

……

A group of digital gamers driven to madness by the mining craze.

When they saw the words "mining card".

It was as if some passive ability had been triggered.

They all rushed into the topic.

It's worth noting that graphics card prices began to rise significantly in June 2017. Nvidia's wholesale price for the GTX 1060 soared from 1650 yuan to 2900 yuan, and the upward trend has not yet stopped.

This made DIY enthusiasts and those who were always waiting cry their eyes out!
Random netizens clicked on it for no apparent reason.

Then I was speechless.

"Damn it, mining card...!!"

"That's a dump truck used for mining!"

"No, didn't you guys notice? The stuff in this video is even more amazing than a computer graphics card. New energy vehicles are being used in heavy industry for mining and transportation?"

"I feel like this is fake. Such a big vehicle, weighing 100 tons, going up and down a mountain without using any electricity... Has physics stopped?? The law of conservation of energy is gone?"

"Physics doesn't exist anymore! Only someone who doesn't understand physics would say that. This is clearly converting gravitational potential energy into electrical energy, exploiting the Earth. I think some people abroad have discussed the industrial application theory of using kinetic energy recovery to generate electricity before, and I never thought I would actually see a practical case today... Holy crap, the manufacturer that can make this system is a genius! Dongfeng actually has this capability!!"

Some netizens who follow the industrial sector were quite surprised!
Some people also noticed the banner in the video featuring the joint signature of Xingchen Group's technology.

"It turns out that the batteries used were provided by Xingchen, and it seems that even the three-electric system was designed by Xingchen."

"StarCraft is getting more and more awesome! Is it going to become the uncrowned king of the battery industry?!"

"It's already at the very top, the very best of the best! At the end of last year and the beginning of this year, both Vivo and Xiaomi used Polestar batteries in their phone launch events. The battery life of these two Android phones is incredibly long, and the battery life degradation is not obvious. Domestic Android manufacturers have finally done something good!"

The online media chatted back and forth, and soon the conversation turned to the well-known digital field.

Mobile phones are a topic that everyone pays attention to.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Xingchen has already reached cooperation agreements with battery manufacturers and is preparing to start production for its second-generation consumer-grade Polestar battery cells.

However, the first-generation Polestar battery has only been available in flagship phones for a few months.

Now, word-of-mouth and consumer feedback are finally coming in.

Many consumers were surprised to find this.

These two Android phones, which use Polestar batteries, have truly outstanding battery life.

The charging experience is also excellent.

Although it may seem like it only has 500-600mAh more capacity than other flagship phones, the actual user experience is far greater.

Later, out of curiosity, a tech blogger conducted a review of the battery.

GeekBy later published an article praising Polestar's honesty in labeling battery capacity: "The 'average/representative value' of a batch of battery samples is a common example that manufacturers use to promote their products and showcase parameters at product launches."

The rated value and rated capacity of the battery cell are the minimum guaranteed values ​​measured under standard conditions, which are more compliant and in line with the required standards.

Unfortunately, other manufacturers' flagship phones use battery cells with advertised values, while Polestar batteries are labeled with rated values, which are clearly visible on the back of the phone. This is why the perceived difference in battery life is so significant.

In conclusion: It's possible that since this is Xingchen's first time manufacturing consumer-grade batteries, they haven't yet learned how to cut corners.

This is the first scene.

The internet is in an uproar!!
Some data enthusiasts who blindly believe in parameters will immediately have their minds shattered.

"Seriously, they wouldn't cut corners..."

"Holy crap, they can even misrepresent this... They're utterly inhuman!!"

"You guys are still questioning the authority of Polestar batteries, but I've already secretly used them and after two months, I can only say there are no problems. From now on, when buying a flagship phone, look for Polestar for battery life!"

"I'm curious why Vivo and Xiaomi don't change the parameters of Polestar batteries to representative values? Wouldn't that give them a competitive edge in marketing? After all, everyone has been using these kinds of standards in their advertising before."

"That's unclear. Advertising and labeling depend on the agreements between the companies. Perhaps StarCraft has some requirements for this. But in any case, StarCraft has indeed single-handedly raised the upper limit of battery cells in the mobile phone industry."

"From this perspective, it's not a bad thing for Xingchen Group to get into making mobile phones. With such standards and technology, at least they have their own things, which is definitely much better than some mid-range assembly plants."

This has sparked heated discussions online.

Initially ridiculed by many for its StarCraft phones, the situation has quietly begun to change due to the positive word-of-mouth surrounding Polestar batteries.
