Technological Hegemony

That night, the news that Xingchen Technology was about to complete the next-generation electronic control system was sent back to the major car manufacturers like flying, which immediately caused a huge sensation.

Assuming that this domestically produced electronic control system can be put into production smoothly, it will mean that the last obstacle for lithium batteries to be used in cars will soon be cleared.

After domestic automakers have taken the lithium battery and electronic control of Star Technology, they can directly produce pure electric vehicles with excellent performance without spending too much effort.

Moreover, this set of electronic control is not prepared for the existing lithium battery technology. According to the technical standards demonstrated by Luo Jia, the working range of this set of electronic control is very high. Even when the cruising range of electric vehicles exceeds 2,000 kilometers, it can still use.

This illustrates two problems.

First, the current 300WH battery is only the first generation of Xingchen Technology, and products with higher energy density will be released in the future.

Second, when higher-grade batteries come out, the major car manufacturers do not need to replace the electronic controls, but only need to switch to new lithium batteries. Xingchen Technology has made a plan for the development of electric vehicles in the next few years, or even more than ten years. a complete plan.

"The latest news! Xingchen Technology is about to put into production the electronic control system, and domestic electric vehicles will be launched in large quantities, just one step away!"

"Really? If the battery and electronic control have been completed, wouldn't the overall structure of the electric vehicle be completely solved?"

"I'm looking forward to it. Xingchen Technology can bring a wave of electric vehicles. After all, our country imports so much crude oil every year. It's really cheating to give money to big dogs."

"There are also environmental issues. Electric vehicles can reduce a lot of carbon emissions. My husband and I just had a baby. I pray that there will be no more smog in the future."

Because batteries and electronic controls are major technologies in the automotive industry and are closely related to people's lives, the news immediately aroused the attention of the whole society and the popularity continued to rise.

Professor Ouyang returned to the hotel that night, and first called Beijing, saying that the electronic control research and development progress of Xingxing Technology had reached the final stage.

The old man on the other end of the phone didn't speak for a long while. Professor Ouyang guessed that he should also be shocked.

"Ouyang, what do you think?" the old voice on the phone asked.

Professor Ouyang thought for a while, "If this is a war in the auto industry, then at this moment, Xingchen Technology has prepared the ammunition needed for the war."

The old man was silent for a while, "This metaphor is very appropriate. Next question, how does Xingchen Technology view the current automobile industry structure?"

Professor Ouyang curled his lips, "According to my observation, they probably think that they should completely abandon fuel vehicles and embrace all-electric vehicles."

"Abandoning completely will affect the interests of many people." The old man smiled bitterly, "After all, most manufacturers can make a lot of money every year by selling fuel vehicles, and there are two barrels of oil. If they really switch to all-electric vehicles, there will be A lot of people are going to be laid off."

Professor Ouyang said in a deep voice, "Yes, let me ask Luo Jia tomorrow to see if he can give me a convincing reason."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news." The old man said.

After hanging up the phone, Professor Ouyang went to the bathroom to take a bath.

He was already getting old, and felt that after this day, he had received so much brand new information, his head was buzzing.

Professor Ouyang did not read a book before going to bed as usual, but lay directly on the bed and fell asleep drowsily until Luo Jia came to the hotel to find him in the early morning of the next day.

The two of them just didn't have breakfast, so they went to the hotel cafeteria together.

The changes that technology has brought to life can be seen everywhere. The insulated bucket used to hold milk in the hotel is equipped with a wireless charging module to maintain a constant temperature. Fried eggs are placed in a metal tray with a wireless thermostat at the bottom of the tray.

The diners were enjoying their breakfast while looking up the news on their mobile phones. They were using almost 100% domestic machines, installed with the system of Star Technology, and used the Star search engine to search for information on the Internet.

"Your scientific and technological achievements have profoundly changed the world." Professor Ouyang said with some emotion,

"However, why aren't you introducing more powerful wireless products?"

Luo Jia was eating a sausage with his head down. He wiped his mouth and said with a smile, "Because the technology is not yet ready, high-power wireless charging will bring two problems. One is waste. The higher the power, the The loss is also higher."

"The other is the control of the energy field. A current of several hundred volts builds an energy bridge in the air. If it hurts someone, it will kill someone."

Professor Ouyang nodded. Caution is also an attitude necessary for science. Our country is not rich enough to be like North America where we can leave the air conditioner off after get off work. It is indeed unwise to waste a lot of electricity for convenience.

After a few words, Professor Ouyang finally started the topic, and Luo Jia's answer surprised Professor Ouyang.

"We can't catch up with developed countries with internal combustion engines." Luo Jia said with certainty, "But we still have the opportunity to overtake in curves. In the field of electric vehicles, everyone is at the same level at present, standing on the same starting line."

"Since it's a race, you have to go all out. I've never seen anyone wearing a down jacket during the 100-meter sprint. In winter, a down jacket can keep you warm, but when you're running, a down jacket is a burden."

"In this world, everything has a price. If you want to win the 100-meter sprint, but you are obsessed with the warmth of a down jacket, you can only get nothing in the end."

Luo Jia's ingenious description made Professor Ouyang fall into deep thinking.

"So, you think we should put all our eggs in one basket?" Professor Ouyang asked.

Luo Jia smiled, "That's not necessarily the case, but I think that since you want to run a race, you must have a running attitude. People who look forward and backward should not go to the race."

Professor Ouyang thought for a while and nodded slightly.

Everyone is smart, and Professor Ouyang has fully understood Luo Jia's attitude.

After breakfast, Luo Jia returned to the company, while Professor Ouyang immediately left for Beijing.

 …

After Professor Ouyang left, Luo Jia resumed his usual busy life.

When the time came to mid-May, An Ran suddenly came to Luo Jia and showed him a piece of news.

The content of the news is like this. Led by Huaxia Power Grid, China has decided to build a large-scale charging infrastructure.

This news was published on the sub-board of the daily newspaper, in an obscure corner.

But for those who are interested, it is not difficult to find its extraordinary features, because there are too many companies participating in this project, and the lineup is unprecedentedly strong!

These companies include Huaxia Power Grid, which ranks second in the Global 500, the most powerful power grid operation group on the planet. At the same time, Huaxia Power Grid is also the company with the largest number of patent applications in China, surpassing the second-ranked Huawei Group.

In addition, China Huaneng ranks 62nd among the top 500 companies in the world.

Huaxia Huadian ranks No. 100 in the world's top 500 companies.

Huaxia Datang ranks 108th among the top 500 companies in the world.

Huaxia Guodian ranks 109th among the top 500 companies in the world.

China Resources, ranked 114th among the top 500 companies in the world.

Huaxia Changjiang ranks 142nd among the top 500 companies in the world.

Huaxia Zheneng ranks 170th in the world's five hundred dollars.

China General Nuclear Power, ranked 196th in the world's top 500.

Huaxia Nuclear Energy ranks 212th among the top 500 companies in the world.

Huaxia State Investment, ranked 217th in the world's top 500.

China Shenergy ranks 228th among the top 500 companies in the world.

Huaxia Guangdong Electric Power ranked 266th among the top 500 companies in the world.

Huaxia Longyuan ranked 270th among the top 500 companies in the world.

Huaxia Guangzhou Development Co., Ltd. ranks 274th among the top 500 companies in the world.

China-Poly-GCL ranks 275th among the top 500 companies in the world.

Huaxia Guodian International ranked 326th among the top 500 companies in the world.

Huaxia Guoxin ranked 356th among the top 500 companies in the world.

Huaxia Hudu Electric Power ranked 372nd among the top 500 companies in the world.

Huaxia Huadian Fuxin ranked 374th in the Global 500.

Huaxia Jingneng ranks 403rd among the top 500 companies in the world.

In addition, Huaxia Power Construction, Huaxia Yanzhou Coal, Huaxia Shenhua, Huaxia Gezhouba, even TBEA, which makes electrical appliances, and Hudu Electric, which makes generators, are all included.

Oh my god...

There are so many super giants who are ready to invest in the construction of charging infrastructure, which is too big! ?

Is it a gesture of going all in and giving it all?

An Ran was incoherent with excitement, "It seems that after Mr. Ouyang returned to Beijing, he did some work that we can't understand. Now all the domestic electric power giants have taken action! This is to pave the way for the comprehensive promotion of electric vehicles! "

"The day we've been looking forward to is finally here!"

Luo Jia suppressed her excitement and nodded.

Without a large-scale infrastructure, electric vehicles will not work no matter how many are built.

It's just that the domestic attitude is so firm, which still surprised him greatly.

Don't look at the inconspicuous news, but countless funds will be spent behind it!

Just dozens of super giants ranked among the top 500 in the world have been mobilized.

It's obviously a signal to do a big job!

Now that domestic electric power companies have begun large-scale deployment, it is the turn of Xingchen Technology and its partners to make their debut, and use the top-level efforts to push domestic electric vehicles wildly!

Let the flames of war in the auto industry ignite!

Sure enough, as soon as An Ran left, Luo Jia received a call from President Wang of BYD.

"Have you read the news?" Mr. Wang asked excitedly.

"I just saw that such a large investment is really unexpected." Luo Jia said in a deep voice, "Infrastructure has always been an area that our country is good at. With so many giants working together, it is estimated that within five or six years, charging piles will be popularized. to every corner of the country?"

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Wang laughed loudly, "You underestimate those power giants too much. I heard that they received an order that the project must be completed within three years! Anyone who can't complete the task will be beaten to the end. !"

Luo Jia was taken aback for a moment, "Three years? What a bold move! If this news spreads abroad, many people must suffer from insomnia."

Mr. Wang said in a deep voice, "Whatever they do, the infrastructure construction will be fully rolled out soon. When do you think it is better for us to start? To be honest, I can't wait now."

Luo Jia thought for a while, "There are currently four lines at the Changzhou factory, and the ramp-up of production capacity will continue until the beginning of next month. At that time, there will be twelve lines in full production. As for when you will launch the new car, it depends on your own plan. .”

"By the way, have you applied for a new trademark yet?"

Mr. Wang was so excited that he was going to explode, but after hearing this, he couldn't help being depressed again.

Luo Jia made a request to him. BYD's logo design is too low. I hope they can change it. Look at the auspicious Lynk \u0026 Co and Volvo, and the Great Wall's WEY. They are all trendy designs.

Only BYD's trademark, with a rustic taste on the forehead, is going to build the world's top electric cars, so what if it doesn't build a good brand image.

"Don't worry, it's finished. It's definitely not worse than Geely's Lynk \u0026 Co." Mr. Wang muttered, "Actually, if it wasn't for your comments, I think our trademark is not bad."

You can pull it down!

Luo Jia rolled her eyes after hearing Mr. Wang's words.

Open the homepage of Huaxia Power Grid, and as expected, they have released the design drawing of the charging pile. The large and small parking lots in Shanghai all need to install fixed charging equipment. In addition, individuals who have garages can also apply for installation.

There are two charging methods, one is to buy directly, and the other is to pay the annual rent, and the rent and electricity bills are settled together.

Luo Jia’s house on Huaihai Road has a large courtyard that can park at least four cars, so he immediately applied for two sets of home charging piles, and planned to buy two domestic electric cars when his father came back from Russia. car.

It has to be said that the efficiency of Huaxia Power Grid is very high. As soon as Luo Jia applied for the installation, they arranged a door-to-door time and asked Luo Jia to keep someone waiting at home.

From mid-to-late May, Huaxia's top-level design was completed, and more than 3,000 large and small companies started frantically building infrastructure.

So far, this wave of electric vehicles that is bound to sweep the world has officially begun.
