Chapter 876 Cangqiong A01 is on the road (please vote for me)
As the temporary person in charge of the automobile factory, Ma Guotao introduced the current situation of the factory to Chen Xiao, Gao Miao and others very seriously.
In terms of talent strength, Ma Guotao is indeed not ranked high.
But in terms of sense of responsibility, after Ma Guotao's Bird Company was acquired by Changtian Technology and the automobile factory was shut down, he did not let it go to waste. Instead, he chose to work hard with the company and maintain the factory equipment very well.
Just for this reason, Chen Xiao felt that Ma Guotao could be a very good talent.
Changtian Technology's automotive industry actually needs more not innovative talents, but obedient talents.
Because all innovations are completed by Chen Xiaohe’s team, the factory only needs to implement the team’s scientific research results.
Therefore, although Ma Guotao's talent is not high, it is usable so far.
Gao Miao also appointed Ma Guotao as deputy general manager of Cangqiong Automobile Company, a subsidiary of New Energy Energy, responsible for comprehensively supervising the production and quality inspection of automobiles.
Chen Xiao and others were wandering around the factory and found that there were many more workers in the factory.
Ning City can also be regarded as a Yangtze River Delta region and a developed industrial zone.
It is very close to Shanghai, which has a very complete automobile industry system and of course a relatively complete automotive talent pool.
The "Bogui" (Cangqiong) automobile factory offers relatively high wages, which are much higher than those of Shanghai Automobile Group and other automobile brands whose factories are located in Shanghai. Therefore, many outstanding talents are willing to come to Ningshi Cangqiong.
Automobile factory work.
Where in the world is there an airtight wall?
Within the automobile industry, there are already rumors that Changtian Technology is developing new energy vehicles.
It's just that this news was laughed off by the automotive giants in the industry.
In their view, automobiles are great industrial products with eternal history.
It is the crystallization of human industrial technology.
It's not something that just anyone can do if they want to.
Therefore, Xiaguo's automobile giants, including Shanghai Automobile Group, Geely Automobile, and Biddy Automobile, all believe that Changtian Technology's automobile manufacturing is actually just to make money.
This is the same as when Bird was making cars and now real estate giant Hengda is preparing cars.
How can an outsider company successfully build a car without decades of technical experience?
Therefore, even the Shanghai Automobile Group and other automobile group companies in Shanghai did not panic when they knew that the Birdning factory was hiring technical personnel with high salaries.
As for some high-end technicians in its own factory who have been poached by Cangqiong Company, the company will also try its best to persuade them: "If an Internet company makes cars, it will die sooner or later. Although the treatment they give you now is high, it will not last long.
You may go bankrupt one day.”
Some technical staff listened to the advice and gave up the opportunity to work at Cangqiong Company.
On the contrary, it was a group of middle- and lower-level technicians who had no desire to join the Shanghai Automobile Group, so they made a desperate move and went to Cangqiong Company.
This has led to the fact that most of the technical staff of Cangqiong Automobile Company are very pragmatic and low-key. They form the basic base of Cangqiong Automobile Company's technical strength.
Ma Guotao asked the staff to drive the latest off-line Cangqiong A01 new energy vehicle.
This is today's protagonist.
At the beginning, Cangqiong Automobile’s layout included mini cars, B-class cars, C-class cars, SUVs, etc., with a total of more than ten types of series.
None of us have much experience in car marketing, so we are just crossing the river by feeling the stones.
Gao Miao and others are in the technical stream, not the strategic stream.
The entire new energy vehicle strategy is in Chen Xiao's hands.
Gao Miao and the others don’t understand strategy, but Chen Xiao does!
Chen Xiao was born again, so of course he knew that in his past world, countless Internet companies were creating new-energy cars that were useless.
If you want to enter the automotive field, the layout should not be too large, but should be small and detailed.
Making cars is the same as making mobile phones, it must be high-quality.
Therefore, the first car designed by Chen Xiao for Cangqiong Automobile is an A+ class sedan. It is actually about the same size as a B-class car, but it is positioned as A+ class, so that it can compete with new energy vehicles such as Tesla and BBA cars of the same level.
Misplaced competition.
This new energy vehicle named Cangqiong A01 has a wheelbase of 4.82 meters, which is comparable to B-class cars.
Of course, a01 will definitely have many different configurations and different versions to cater to different markets.
The car that the staff drove to Chen Xiao was definitely the best.
The top-end version uses dual motors, and the front and rear motors ensure that the car can travel in four-wheel drive.
The maximum power of the front motor is 270kw and the maximum torque is 450 Nm, and the maximum power of the rear motor is 300kw and the maximum torque is 650 Nm.
This parameter is very powerful.
The parameters of many sports cars are not comparable to those of Galaxy Energy's motors.
Moreover, the entire process from design to production of the motor is completed by Cangqiong Company alone, with completely independent technology.
A motor with this performance is more powerful than the motor used in Tesla's current most powerful Model S.
Needless to say about batteries, microbial batteries can provide new energy vehicles with a comprehensive range of 1,000 kilometers when filled with energy blocks (6KG energy blocks).
The chassis was debugged and developed by Cangqiong Company on the basis of its acquisition of part of Saab Automobile's chassis technology.
Currently, liftable air suspension and shock absorption technology are used.
Here we still need to recognize the advanced nature of overseas technology.
After all, it has accumulated automobile technology for decades or hundreds of years, and it still has advantages compared to Xia Guo's automobile technology.
As for the interior of the car, Xia Guo's engineers are best at it.
So although the Cangqiong A01 has the performance of a sports car, the interior is very comfortable and the seats are very soft, making it a true mobile sofa.
Of course, what makes car builders most proud is the car-engine system.
The vehicle system uses the Jinghong 2 chip. In addition to being equipped with the most advanced carbon crystal chip, the most important thing is the neuron chipset.
The biggest advantage of the Neuron chipset is emotional computing.
The emotional computing here is not just some simple emotional expressions, but a comprehensive anthropomorphic judgment.
This point is very critical in the intelligent automatic driving of cars.
A very simple comparison.
Tesla overseas and Baidu domestically are both working on autonomous driving.
Their underlying logic for autonomous driving is actually based on the silicon crystal hardware Linux system.
But no matter what kind of system it is, the hardware has determined the upper limit of these two autonomous driving modes.
No matter how good their unmanned driving system is, there is no way to surpass the limits of the hardware.
Therefore, whether it is Apple or Baidu, Tesla's driverless system relies heavily on standardized traffic models (guardrails, traffic guide lines, traffic lights, etc.).
The more standard the road, the more friendly it is to Tesla and Baidu's driverless systems, and the higher their success rate.
But if the driverless systems of Baidu and Tesla are placed somewhere in the urban-rural fringe, or in a place with heavy traffic, then the driverless systems of the two companies will only collapse.
What is the nature of human beings?
The essence of human beings is not order, but chaos. Otherwise, there would not be so many morals and laws to restrict human behavior.
The same is true for transportation in the human world.
Chaotic traffic dominates the scene.
Under such chaotic traffic, humanity's existing driverless systems are basically useless.
This is not the case with Cangqiong Auto’s driverless technology.
It has a neuron computing group and a rational emotional calculation.
QQ’s driverless technology is basically unrivaled.
Even if the car is placed in a chaotic market in a rural town, the driverless car can drive safely.
This is because the underlying logic is different.
Baidu and Tesla's driverless technology adopts the method of first editing the program, allowing the program to recognize it and then provide feedback.
The self-driving technology of Cangqiong Automobile is the same as people learning car driving technology. It is not a program, but a learning ability.
After continuous learning, autonomous driving will be able to master the adaptability of road traffic and become a qualified veteran driver.
In this way, after mastering the underlying logic and traffic rules of driving, Cangqiong Auto's driverless technology can perfectly handle any driving environment without any programming.
This is where the hardware determines the height.
After Cangqiong Car arrived, Chen Xiao looked at the appearance of Cangqiong Car back and forth.
Elegant but not arrogant.
This is Chen Xiao’s evaluation of Cangqiong Automobile.
The streamlined shape of the entire car is very good, in line with public aesthetics and not particularly pretentious.
The biggest change is the front face.
In the past, fuel vehicles had to have a larger front face and an air inlet. This was because fuel was used and air needed to enter to help the fuel burn.
Now it uses bioenergy and does not require air inlets, so the design of the front face will be more in line with the fashionable aesthetic.
At the same time, in order to ensure the stability of the car.
The storage of biological batteries and energy blocks are placed on the chassis.
The increased weight of the chassis makes the car more stable to drive.
The energy block is added at the original refueling position of the fuel vehicle, which looks very harmonious.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Gao, and Mr. Wen, do you want to go up and try? I will drive and take you."
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "I'll drive."
Ma Guotao nodded and sat in the passenger seat.
Wen Qi and Gao Miao sat in the back.
The interior space of the vehicle is very large.
Especially in the second row, there is no bulge on the ground, which is very friendly. Even if there are three people sitting in the back row, it will not feel crowded.
After Gao Miao and Wen Qi sat on it, the first thing they felt was that it was very comfortable.
This is completely different from the new energy vehicles made using Tesla chassis and motors.
Gao Miao even joked: "I suddenly feel that my Mercedes-Benz E300L doesn't smell good at all."
Wen Qi's income is also very good, but she is relatively low-key. She only has a BMW 3 Series for transportation. Now after sitting in the Cangqiong car, the contrast and gap are immediately apparent.
Chen Xiao is very concerned about the driving performance and safety of the car.
Cars are first and foremost means of transportation.
Since it is a means of transportation, safety and driving performance must be emphasized.
SLR is a car company that can last for a long time, and no one makes flashy things.
Chen Xiao started the Cangqiong car. The car started smoothly and the driving experience was very good.
Chen Xiao is not a car fan, but he must have a car when traveling.
He has four cars in his hands, one is a Mercedes-Benz S450, one is a Hongqi L9, one is a V260 nanny car, and the last one is a BMW 5.
In the first three liang, Chen Xiao sits more, the BMW 5 is more low-key, and Chen Xiao drives more.
At this time, Chen Xiao's driving and riding experience are very perfect. It is obviously more comfortable than a gasoline car and more stable than a Tesla.
Accelerating, decelerating, braking, every step Chen Xiao experienced felt perfect.
Among them, what made Chen Xiao feel the most comfortable was when the car passed the roadblock.
The liftable suspension responds very quickly.
The people in the car, including Chen Xiao, hardly felt any bumps.
Ma Guotao said: "Does Mr. Chen want to try the autonomous driving mode?"
"Our car has applied for a road test permit and can be driven out for a while."
According to regulations, car testing must have a dedicated tester sitting in the cab.
Chen Xiao nodded and chose to sit in the back row with the girls.
Ma Guotao sat in the passenger seat while a dedicated tester drove the car for a long period of time.
He directly spoke to Xiaoying by voice: "Xiaoying, turn on the autonomous driving mode and destination is the center of Ning City."
Under everyone's attention, something unexpected happened.
After turning on the automatic driving mode, the steering wheel, accelerator and brake in the cab are all retracted.
The cab has also become a seating position and becomes very spacious.
The testers also introduced the specific performance and some details of the car according to Ma Guotao's requirements.
When talking about the energy consumption of Cosmic New Energy Vehicles,
The tester said: "Kangqiong A01 requires 15 kilowatt-hours of electricity per 100 kilometers. If calculated as our energy block, it requires about 6KG. The current external supply price of energy blocks is 850 yuan per ton, which is 850 yuan per 1,000 kilograms.
1 kilogram of energy block only costs 0.85 yuan, and 6 kilogram only costs 5 yuan.”
Super cheap!
New energy vehicles have two missions.
One is to reduce energy consumption, and the other is to protect the environment.
Reducing energy consumption here has two meanings, saving money and saving resources.
Of course, if a new energy vehicle sells for tens or millions, then users will not be short of money for gas. The most important thing here is to save resources. After all, Xia is an oil-poor country, so saving resources is very important.
The other thing is pollution.
The pollution caused by fuel vehicles is certain. After using new energy vehicles, bionew energy will emit carbon dioxide and water, so there will be no pollution problems.
The car gradually drove into the city.
Everyone has also seen how powerful new energy autonomous driving is.
Whether it is a standard road or a complicated road condition with no model lights at all, the car can pass smoothly.
Without a technician's introduction, Chen Xiao explained to Wen Qi: "The principle of our driving is actually the same as human driving. We receive the road conditions in real time through sensors and various cameras, and then respond to the Jinghong 2 chip technology, and finally feed back the driving style to
cars, so our self-driving technology is absolutely safe.”
As there were more and more vehicles and pedestrians on the road, many people saw these two mysterious cars without license plates.
